I'm BAAAAACK

[alizarin_nyc]

It's been three weeks away and that is a long, long time. There were ups, downs and all-overs, but it was a good trip over all. I saw a lot of sights (and sites), so I know that sort of thing is never regretted by me. A good reminder that history is a lot longer and bigger than what we see in the good ol' US. Seems obvious, but needs to be

Welcome back! And, three weeks of overall-good is better than your average three weeks, so, yay!

Speaking of overalls, yay for Netflix having Bomb Girls S1 instant-viewable. It's hard to predict the eventual f/f couple considering how much time all the women spend casting longing glances at one another.

I have Ripper Street queued up. Is Broachurch netflixable?

[alizarin_nyc]

Yes. I hope it's proof I AM feeling better, aka new meds working, but I'm waiting until the three-month mark to mention it/jinx it.

Bomb Girls, I will have to watch that. Broadchurch is mid-air so I don't know what their plans are for distribution.

Welcome back! I'm so glad the trip was good--Italy sounds amazing!

Looking forward to seeing your Whitechapel fic go live XD And to any forthcoming Ripper Street fic.

I have never heard of Broadchurch--that sounds good, I will have to check it out.

[alizarin_nyc]

I was annoyed not to be able to post from Israel but I never had qutite enough WiFi on the kibbutz to be able to do it. Intermittent WiFi = annoyance.

Broadchurch is airing and is on Ep 4 but there are a delightful 8 episodes in total. Tennant is FULL Scottish brogue, so I don't know if it will make it over here. You must check it out, you and thirdbird_fic. Arthur Darvill plays a priest.

Italy IS amazing. I never tire of being amazed by it. Except when I've eaten too much and want to die. But the next day, I am hungry again. *scratches head*

Ooh! I think I do have a source for Broadchurch actually. Although I'm a little afraid of getting my Tennant obsession enflamed again...you know how you get about BC sometimes?

(Speaking of which, does he look insanely edible in the ST trailers OR WHAT? I took the kids to a movie yesterday and when we got home my daughter was all, "Dad, Mom was clapping during the Star Trek preview." I couldn't help it! The tight pants! The Cumberglare!)

Welcome home, bb! I'm glad it was a mostly good trip.

Hello you. I hope you left some of Europe still standing as there are already enough crumbly bits.

If only Ripper Street were a huge fandom. I have a massive craving for Drake/Jackson. *sulks* I sort of owe a mate a drabble in that fandom but have no further ambition.

I love Lost Girl in all its epic cheesiness.

[alizarin_nyc]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD WOMAN! I, too, desire some Drake/Jackson with every fiber of my being. EVERY FIBER. *cough* I think the historical aspect will be a hindrance, and I find it daunting. I'm hoping I can hold out until Yuletide if I'm not banned forever.

I am the world's worst icon maker but as NO ONE HAD MADE A RIPPER STREET ICON THAT WAS NOT REID I had to make my own sad stab at it... sad, I say, sad.

What little fic there is nearly all involves Reid too... the power of McFadyen I suppose.

No man's heart aches forever. Oh baby, give it to meeeeeeeee. *pouts*

I can do the historical bit, I used to write ACD Holmes back when dinosaurs ruled the earth and, y'know, genuine Cockney here but... I want to *read* fic for them. *pouts more* I once crossed The Time Machine with Life on Mars... Erm... moving on.

Just on the outside chance you don't know the actor who plays Jackson played the ultra-creepy Andrew Benton in the POI episode, Cura Te Ipsum. Y'know, the one that ends with Reese discussing whether he's still a good man with him across a table with a gun lying on it.

[alizarin_nyc]

If I could get my hands on Photoshop, I have a ton of screencaps ready to make Ripper icons. *nods*

I wouldn't mind reading Reid either, but there are so few fics to begin with. But Drake and Jackson are my BOYS.

I envy your Cockney and ability to do historical things. I am scared to see what this fic might turn out looking like - if I don't chicken out. (Story: Jackson offers to show Drake what Rose likes).

I had heard that Rothenberg was in an ep of POI but curse my brain - I have no recollection of it. This calls for a rewatch of said episode!

Welcome home! I'm glad you had an enjoyable time! You were missed. :)

[alizarin_nyc]

AWWW, thank you!

[imkalena]

Italy sounds wonderful! And I bet those meals were AMAZING. Pictures???

[executrix]

Or fic...a self-insert fic with lots of Italian meals would be a TiraMiSu, wouldn't it?

[imkalena]

AHAHAHA cute :)

[alizarin_nyc]

Punbelievable!
