Time for a proper update including Gaia pics, being Sherlocked, Dean storyline
Hi all,
I don't know how many of you are still out there checking LJ. Seems that twitter and tumblr have taken over LJ. I am one of those who uses those two platforms more than I use LJ...it's easier and faster but I still love this place and want to refresh my page a bit. I don't know when I'll have the time, but I am sure I'll do because I feel like I need a fresh start.
Meanwhile some flash news: I'm about to change my job because, to cut a long story short, we have been acquired by a bigger company which doesn't want to carry on our core business. I don't know how it will end, but I am looking around and in a couple of months a big change should happen.
Gaia is growing up fast. She will turn 5 next April and she is a very nice little girl. She is clever and witty and she knows what she wants.
Under the cut some new pics, taken with my mobile.
Now onto fannish things...
-I have fallen hard for BBC Sherlock. Like seriously hard. Like I fell for SPN and Dean in S1. Did you remember how it was. I bet you do.
I have always enjoyed Benedict Cumberbatch work but I couldn't be defined a fan. He happened to be in a lot of movies I went to see because it was my cup of tea and I started to appreacire his work years ago. I also liked him phisically, but nothing more...I think my subconscious has slowly fallen in love with him before I even realized it.
Sherlock has taken over my fannish life because the show can be seen on so many levels that it's not even funny. The characters are multi-layered and complex, the realtionships are a delight to watch even if they hurt. The dialogues, the lines, the acting, the script is quite the most fascinating I have seen in a long time. Do I have issues with Moffat and his way of treating female characters? No. Do I think he is sexist? Actually I don't care. I just enjoy what he does. That's it.
Of course my favorite character has to be Sherlock. Sherlock holmes has been part of my life since I was a kid. I have read all the original books. I have seen pretty much every movie or series about him...but the way this Sherlock is written and shooted, the way London is such a big part of it, the way Benedict Cumberbatch brings him to life has won me over after 5 minutes I was in the first episode.
I resisted 3 years before watching and I am glad I did cos I skipped two long hiatus and watched all of it at the right time for me. Sherlock is like vampires for me. I'm picky. I get moody if they don't stick to the canon for the most importan things(that's basically why I tried Elementary and it didn't work for me. Watson as a woman and not London based...it just is not right for me). So I was scared to watch and waited, also because I knew I would have fallen hard, also considering that I already knew and appreciate the actor. But I knew that sooner or later it would have happened because it is so my cup of tea. So yeah…I give it a try less then two weeks agon and by now I’m deeply, totally, utterly SHERLOCKed.
It’s not even funny when a new character ruins my life. It starts slowly, I watch a tv show, find some character interesting, watch some more paying attention to the details then….bang something happens. It might be how a line is delivered, a facial expression, a look, the voice that breaks in a particular moment….even the way of walking, or a close up of the hands….it can be whatever and I fall. When I fall for a character, I fall hard. To the point that watching that character makes me happy and hurts at the same time. To the point that I can’t wait to have some time free of work, family, friends because I want to feel that magic.
It’s the power of a well written, interesting character along with the acting skills of the actor.
Again for the million times. Thank you, Moffat and Gatiss. Mostly thank you to Benedict Cumberbatch because his Sherlock is by far the one I love the most. It’s all in his mannerism, voice, body, eyes, hands…even in his hair.
His way of portraying Sherlock is so very fitting. Imo just perfect.
I’m overwhelmed by feels. I just had to write this down here because this is my fannish house. It still is.
-are you excited that Dean is actually having a story line? I am, but also scared it would be wasted. I don't trust the SPn writers anymore.
