...consumed by Sherlock. Dammit.

Have discovered that Martin Freeman is a tiny little man who has recently started dressing like a complete queen.

This is... confusing.

What the hell happened to Arthur Dent? I'm sure he was normal height, once.

Also, Benedict Cumberbatch is incredibly pretty for someone remarkably ugly.

I'm sure he's just dwarfed by Benedict Cumberbatch. Or, I don't know, is he that tiny?

I find that statement is true for an alarmingly large number of British men, actually.

Benedict isn't actually massively tall - he's about 6ft. Martin is only half an inch taller than I am - he's 5'6".

I'm not attracted to skinny men; nor the gangly sort. And I am definitely not attracted to Benedict, but he has really oddly ethereal and beautiful looks.

I do keep envisioning Sherlock at about twelve when I look at him - hair slightly curlier, dress sense not much different, if you took away the coat and jacket. Probably sent to boarding school somewhere highly rural, which would explain his obsession with the city. Terribly quiet boy - adults would have said he had 'an old head on young shoulders' - probably bullied, very isolated. I might write a story about that when the series is over and we have all the information we're going to get, this year.

It's weird, he looks so much taller than the people he's around, even in other films I've checked out. Must be an optical illusion, with how thin he is. Or maybe it's the coat o_o

He looks a bit reptilian, especially around the eyes, but everything is so heightened by the color contrast in the show: veryvery pale skin, gray shirt, black suit/hair, blue scarf. Cold colors work very well for him.

I like this very much :) I keep trying to think of what killed his interest in relationships too. Either he just wasn't interested from the start, or he was put off people altogether by the bullying, or he had a massively bad experience the times he tried.

I assumed he was some kind of giant, too - at least 6'4" but according to the powers of Google, it is simply not the case. :|

I was just capping some bits for my layout and I was thinking how they've washed out the colour so it appears almost sepia. I like that a lot - matches the colours for my LJ perfectly.

At some point, I really don't know when, anymore, I was actually thinking about that. I came up with a friend he'd had in his teens and with whom he had been completely in love; they'd been at school together for a few years, maybe since Sherlock was about fifteen, and the new boy had been moved to his school. Of course, the bullies would have loved that, but they stuck together in their little ambiguous routine until they both went away to Cambridge to study (is there canon for where Sherlock would have studied? I've never read the books Ffffffuuuuuuu - I googled it; Cambridge was referenced in the books - I'm good, dammit) and the boy had drowned in the river when they'd 'borrowed' a punt one night. Because fey, posh boys
