Haha, I just had only the second part of your comment on my screen while scrolling, and thought, ah, that's someone to friend! And then I scroll further up, and - it's you! *gg*

Anyway. Real reason for this comment: Please, PLEASE give writing tuts a go. Your coloring is so vibrant, I'm sure you could teach people a thing or two! :)

Which fandoms are you most active in: doctor who, misfits, merlin, jane austen related shows/movies (bbc series anyone?), alias, lost, being human, skins, luther, resident evil (both games and movies), tomb raider series and final fantasy (yeah i'm 23 and i play a lot with my play station)

it is! i mean, when i first watched it i did id because of ruth wilson (i just love this girl so much since when i first saw jane eyre back in 2007 with my mom) but OMG that show is AMAZING! i loved it so much and i hope they'll pass it here in italian so i can force my parents to watch it!

I actually didn't know Ruth Wilson previously. But I was instantly captivated when I watched the show. I mean, she's so devilish and wonderful. And her complete lack of morals is brilliant. Also, one of the things she said in the last episode (about how we lie to ourselves), is one of my favorite quote ever. I can't love it any more, I think. And the ending!

I watched it with my mom, so I hope they translate it you can do that, too. ♥
