O give me but this I have!

In case you're wondering why the world is ending, it's partially my fault. I'm sorry. But lindensphinx and I share a fandom, voraciously, for literally the first time since we met in 2004. It is, to be honest, fucking glorious.

I wrote 1900 words of totally inexcusable fic yesterday, and intend to finish said fic and post it today. It's been a long time since that happened. (Can I enlist any second readers ahead of time? It's, well. Thor-related, and like I said, completely inexcusable. I may need someone to check iambic pentameter for me. Also, Kat Dennings is a really fun voice to write.)

Speaking of which -- hey, so Tom Hiddleston is a Shakespearean actor, like all great comic book movie actors are. He is not only going to complete his transformation into Kenneth Branagh by playing Prince Hal in a Henry V that's in pre-production, but he also starred in only one of my favorite plays ever, the gloriously over-the-top and weirdly beautiful Cymbeline. I deeply, desperately wish this was available on DVD somewhere, but it's a West End theater production from 2007, and aside from this trailer, a weird song-and-dance number and a French documentary, I think this may have to suffice. (He's playing Posthumus and Cloten. GOD, IT LOOKS GLORIOUS.)
