It’s been a bit quiet this week because I have visitors. But I haven’t forgotten the raffle. So first things first. The winner of the latest Guy shrine is… Kate! I hope the little tin gets past hubster 😅
Congratulations. Hope you’ll have with this vintage tin – and do put your own picture into the shrine. I mean, who wouldn’t want to share an apple with temptation himself??? And if all fails – your garden will do!
Onwards to our weekly round-up. It’s time for a new header image. What else could it be than one of the luscious hair porn pictures taken by Andy Gotts? Honestly, I can’t wait to see what Gotts will come up with in November.
- If you haven’t seen Richard’s first (credited?) movie role yet, don’t look any further. Riepu10 has giffed it *all* for you
- Throwback to muscle man Thorin… *drools*. A pic set by thewarriorandtheking
- If you haven’t seen this on Twitter, here is the tumblr post showing off a commissioned piece of art. It was created by Nathan Bowen who had made the Armitage portrait that was on sale in aid of The Old Vic. crazytxgradstudent missed out on buying it – and got herself Thorin instead
- Adequate summary of The Hobbit by champixn-cyrxdii
- A thousand thank yous to mezzmerizedbyrichard for her compilation of Richard with “romantic hero hairdo”. Love it
- Including this edit (?) of an old picture of RA – for the second hashtag. 😂 Apt! Posted by notthatmelody
- LOL. When Richard says no no no… Either way, delicious! Post by marvelandotherfandomsimagines, originally posted by smoops-and-smoops
- I had no idea that was a thing. Thewarriorandtheking has looked it up in the encyclopedia
- This is what happens when a gorgeous photo of Richard is published! Mezzmerizedbyrichard’s screenshot
- I love this set of edits putting together Richard’s audio work and himself working in studio. Thanks, riepu10
- And for good measure, a What a Guy Wants episode by nfcomics
That’s it, kids. Hope it enhances your weekend.
Love, Guylty ❤
I. Am. Floored.
Thank you sooo much!!! 😭😭😭
I will try to comment on the rest of this lovely roundup when I’ve recovered some sort of equilibrium.

The lights in the other scene are darker and so are the gifs. With my non existing skills I can’t make those gifs as bright as I want. But maybe I give them a try

Re 4. I’m pleased to see someone else agrees with me about those movies.

Were there any other actors in that film?

I contend that P Jackson didn’t appreciate what he had in his hands until he saw the reaction to Movie 1. Then he edited movies 2 and 3 around the Thorin character to “work it.”
LikeLike
“Reaction” including the press. RA (thoughtful, smart, humble, appreciative) made a much better impression than MF. Who did Jackson take to China with him, huh, huh?
LikeLike
Yep – I’d say RA is the best kind of press junket guy you could get.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yep. It always really stands out to me how different Thorin looks in some of the early tests – until they copped on that RA was far too handsome to hide under some sort of gruffalo face mask. Thank god they realised…

Author, author! Guest post by Yve, please! I want to hear your reaction to the movie, Yve, even if it’s bad. Especially if it’s bad. No more hagiographies about RA, please. (I just wanted to show off that I know the word hagiography, don’t pay too much attention to me.)

Well done Kate! Ooh that header pic, thrills! Thanks for the round-up, Guylty, full of Armitage goodness, and what a witty lot the Tumblr folk are. Loved ‘I want to lick his voice’ ( yes) and the summing up of The Hobbit. I definitely have Actophilia, or RAphilia to be precise.
