Another weekly round-up, published in its regular Saturday 8am morning slot. What is happening???? Well, in this case it is a Friday evening spent baby-sitting my two young nephews. While the kids are playing Fifa on the PlayStation, I am ignoring supervising them from behind my MacBook. Time well spent 😁.
The week in review, though… well, we really had some stuff to discuss this week, didn’t we? I won’t get into it here because I have already expressed my opinion on me+richard and on the M Files but suffice to say that it always rattles me when the OOA (object of affection) does something that I strongly disagree with. And especially so when it happens in a phase when my inner fangirl had been invigorated *despite* the lack of projects… But here, I’ll say this: It never gets boring in this fandom 😂. And that also includes the speculation about Daniel Miller’s fate in season 3 of BS trailer in the wake of the latest. Two weeks to go ’til Daniel-Day! Also really interesting – Herba’s post on her current state of fangirling and various reactions to that in comments and on blogs. Really demands a proper exploration in a dedicated post, but I am too busy with the latest community project, Flat Richie.
So yeah, lots of stuff – and a good bit of new stuff on tumblr, too. Here we go, including a new header, too!
- I have kind of lost track of the massive fan fic action that is taking place on tumblr these days. But this one by thorins-magnificent-ass was just so funny – and somewhat surprising, so I had to include it
- Guy. Threatening. And drenched. Must include. Thanks to riepu10
- Thanks to deepestfirefun we get Daniel’s ID photo in large format. *This* is *exactly* why I am still watching BS
- I think dangerousyako definitely has a point there. That kind of voice work must be *great* fun for a rather serious actor…
- SPOILER WARNING!!! Deepestfirefun has an interesting screen cap from BS here. I fear the worst
- Illustrated with that gif, I think fuzzycharlie has a point
- drldeboer has a set of screen caps from the latest BS trailer
- This, on continuous loop, would keep me
droolinginterested for hours. Thanks to mezzmerizedbyrichard - Never too much of a good thing. Deepestfirefun’s set of Daniel in the BS trailer
- (Sorry, deepestfirefun is dominating the round-up today, but she has great posts…) Here’s a nice Armitage quote…
- The challenge has been thrown out there… any takers of gatissed’s suggestion?
- TBT baby!Richard with first airing of the devastating smoulder… posted by psicopathya
- Those eyes are mesmerising! Posted by armitageadoration
- Those were some really nice pictures from the Wolverine recording recently. Deepestfirefun has cropped them to show RA only. Niceeee
- A little comparison of leading man Richard as Daniel Miller in the BS promo posters, put together by mzperx0506universe. Which look do you like best?
- Fab Lucas North poster by redsirionsoldrastuff
There, hope you’ve enjoyed that!
Happy weekend,
Guylty ❤️

Good point re. #6. Same here. And still so, after encountering him a few times at various events…
Strangely, even though I am not #TeamBeard, I am quite enamoured with S2 and S3 Daniel – because of the traces of silver. Makes him more real.

LoLo hahaha on Shatner reference!!Although for 80 years old he is quite a busy guy!! The bouifantness of these S3 pics is funny to me I like his grey hairs on the side which he seems ok with. I’d take the wrinkles and laugh lines over the grey or silver though if I had to choose😉

I don’t want to imply that I would mind if he allows things to progress a bit more naturally and lets the hairline creep back of its own accord. He’ll still look splendid with less on top; I just hate toupees or what looks like some suspicious filling in around the front area. As someone a bit older than your sweet self, (and I refuse to dwell on how much), I LOVE the silver at his temples and in his beard and think he is going to look hot, hot, hot as that progresses. RA is the man for whom the term “silver fox” was invented!

Oh no I agree he looks better with age I’m just not a fan of grey myself nor all grey or white in a guy but I’m liking the beard look and I hated beards on a guy period so that’s progress for me!

I like the S3 beard and gray, but the hair is a bit voluptuous for my taste. See, we swapped roles this time, G.

Ich gehör ja zum “Team Stoppelfeld” und bei S1 ist mir das Feld eigentlich zu weit abgeerntet, aber im direkten Vergleich gefällt mir S1-Daniel trotzdem am besten, gefärbte Haare hin oder her. Hier hat er irgendwie am meisten Ähnlichkeit mit einem geheimnisvollen, frauenherzenbrechenden Spion. Danach kommt Trevor, ernst und lebenserfahren. S3, nun ja, wenn er mir so über den Weg laufen würde, müsste ich ihn wohl erstmal zum Friseur schicken. Die Tolle ist schon sehr speziell. Wir sind doch hier nicht bei Grease.

I currently have a black-and-white, close-up version of the Wolverine smile as the lock screen my phone as well, and am having a similar problem. Even though it has become my all-time favorite photo of our beautiful man, it’s almost too much for me to see as often as I have to swipe my phone on. I feel quite silly about it, tbh, but that much gorgeosity all in one fell swoop, even after dozens of viewings, just makes my heart momentarily falter.

I have to admit I am now really curious to find out what happens to DM. While I dislike the idea of yet another screen death, I will be pleased enough that that ends RA’s tenure on the show. So, as usual, I’ll find a positive way of looking at it #EverTheOptimist 😂.

Yeah just some of the images in the trailers look very disturbing to me (ie lighting a match like one is going to burn another person lying on the ground) I will see the whole 10 episodes thru but just from the tone of lurking #richardsrmitage Twitter feeds I think most have realized it doesn’t end well for Daniel 😱😩👎

Well I thought I was having a delusion or something but judging from the on line uproar and his lack of film time I think Horwitch is going for shock value which is never a good sign for a series in my opinion. Orser filmed the entire time so it has to be either Daniel or Hectors name on the CIA wall
LikeLike
No concensus here! I’m going to hang on to my optimism – I can’t stomach another RA character screen death. I’m going to go with a theory that it’s Daniels father who is added to the CIA wall after Daniel’s mission (which is going to reveal more of this father/mother backstory). I’m actually looking forward to Season 3 to see what ultimately happens to Daniel but not looking forward to him probably not getting much screen time. Hope reigns eternal.
LikeLike
I hope you are right but with barely any screen time I’m not invested in any other character. I like Orser as an dude and am happy for him to get a juicier role but Hector is MIA and Keke Palmers character isn’t all that developed as far as a back story but I love you optimism!👏👍😘
LikeLike
Yes, I really can’t say any of the BS characters interest me. Leland and Hector can be entertaining to watch but I don’t really ‘care’ about them. I want to care about Valerie, but she doesn’t have much to work with there. The show just misses the mark on so many levels. Expectations were high on my part since RA was…is? …. in it so, although its probably an ok show, disappointment unfortunately is felt. My hope he is still alive at end of S3 is entirely selfish on my part because other than audio work, there’s not much so far to look forward to other than BS. I want to SEE RA act, not just HEAR him.

I like that idea, spark. It’s no secret that I’m not super invested in BS, but I also don’t want him to die yet again.

Thank you for the links and another stellar roundup! The fan fic about putting glitter in Thorin’s hair delighted me no end. Absolutely adorable. And oh, wet Guy! And any Daniel is fine by me because he’s, well, fine. No matter how many photos I see of our beautiful man, it never ceases to amaze me how one human being can be so staggeringly gorgeous. I read somewhere (here? Twitter? Another blog?) about how one of RA’s charms is that he is so masculine but can easily be described as beautiful or even pretty depending on the circumstances, and how even on his scruffiest days, he is delectable. So true, so true.

LoLoLand Productions Presents: “RL with RA”
Today’s episode: “A Selfie By Any Other Name”
R: *sighing and tossing aside his book.” I’m bored.
LL: *not looking up from her laptop* That’s nice, dear.
R: Bored, bored, bored.
LL: Well, you’re never boring, so you’ve got that going for you.
R: Let’s go for a walk. It’s lovely outside today.
LL: *finally looking up* You do realize that I’m working on YOUR television show, yes? Gatiss and Moffat want a few changes before I submit the final draft of episode six.
R: *grinning* We don’t have to leave the house for me to be entertained, if you can’t bear to be away from your laptop for long.
LL: *trying not to give in* No means no, Armitage. You’re old enough to…uh…entertain yourself. Or if you don’t want to do that, go for your walk and take some selfies to post.
R: Boring, boring, boring.
LL: Yeah, your selfies can be a tad dull.
R: *laughs* That’s not what I meant, you mean little creature!
LL: *pats his [delectable] hand* Your selfies are lovely, mon amour. Just lay off the stupid filters, okay.
R: *innocently* Filters? Whatever do you mean?
LL: *snorts quite inelegantly* Ha, ha. Those silly wrinkle removers or smoothers or whatever the hell they are. We all love you just the way you are and much prefer to see you au naturel.
R: *grins* Au naturel?
