ohmycasteamsamifer: The devil is in the details, and never have the details been tailored so well until you’ve seen Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal.  A well contained evil in vibrant suits emits an attractive, silent sophistication that breathes new life to an old character already popularized by Anthony Hopkins.  Unlike Hopkins, whose portrayal was more obvious in his insanity, Mads version complicates your emotions.  Watching him unfold only inches at a time you become torn between being seduced by his well manners and captivated by his culinary skills.  He is a high functioning sociopath whose wit is capable of devouring your soul while eluding the police, the very company he keeps. The methodology of maintaining his close interactions with law enforcement, and weaving in and out of their minds is almost like a contemporary song and dance that even when he is shown killing he is poised and graceful.  Bryan Fuller explained when asked about Mikkelsen,  ”He wanted this character to be a fallen angel who had an affinity for humanity and a love for the human condition, but also could be very punitive in a hellish way.” Indeed, his portrayal of a modern day beast embodied in Hannibal Lecter is proof that if Mads Mikkelsen was a real life Lucifer I’d nail my soul to the devil’s alter.   Aside from the visual aesthetics of the show, the character arc in Hannibal Lecter is stunningly breathtaking.  If you haven’t had the pleasure take the time to catch up now.  With only six episodes in, a new fandom for the summer is a remedy indeed. -VivianwithanA

nicotinebatch: londonphile: omfg-elephant: 1. DECORATE SHOES FOR FRIEND WITH THE CUMBERFACE 2. GO TO STAR TREK PREMIERE @ LEICESTER SQUARE 3. ???? 4. PROFIT!!! (MORE LIKE DISCOVER GIFS AND A VIDEO OF BC WITH SAID SHOES MADE IT TO TUMBLR/YOUTUBE BEFORE I EVEN GOT HOME? OH GOD.) He’s such a sweetheart! :D He signed one shoe first, then he suggested signing both of them and my brain just went offline. HOW IS HE REAL. I explained I made them for a friend of ours who couldn’t be there with us, b-but I can’t remember what he replied sobs. I’M SORRY. I asked if I could take a picture with him & the shoes but totally expected him to say “sorry, no time!” so I was completely unprepared & totally failed at it. I was having trouble balancing my SFX book on one arm while holding up the shoes near him and aiming my camera at both with my other arm (and trying not to accidentally elbow anyone!)… so he just reached for the shoes and ACTUALLY POSED WITH THEM. OMFG. Woah. BLOWN AWAY. HE IS SO AWESOME. AND ADORKABLE. :) OMG lol reason #163 why I love Benedict Cumberbatch

reason #163 why I love Benedict Cumberbatch

This started out as a discussion about turning the story of Romeo and Juliet into a story of the feud between Coffee and Tea. AND THEN. AND THEN.

  • Him:

    There is obviously a love triangle between you, tea, and coffee.

  • Me:

    Yes, I know, I'm trying to reconcile it. ;-;

  • Him:

    But coffee and tea are perfect for each other. Why can't they see that? Classic Shakespearian tragedy.

  • Me:

    Two beverages, alike in delectablility...

  • Him:

    But separated by a society that makes their union taboo...

  • Me:

    We could totally re-write that entire play using tea and coffee.

  • Him:

    That would be fascinating. What would the poison be?

  • Me:

    Half and Half. Or creamer.

  • Him:

    Yes. Accursed stuff. Or... Sugar. The defiler of the beauty of tea and the power of coffee.

  • Me:

    So many options...

  • Him:

    There's so many ways to destroy those lovely beverages.

  • Me:

    DESTROY.

  • Him:

    EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE.

  • Me:

    DALEK POWAH, GO.

  • Him:

    THE DOCTOR MUST DIEEE.

  • Me:

    HURKHURKHURK <--- (dalek mating call)

  • Him:

    YOU. CALLED. DEAR. UUUUUUNIIIBBRROOOWWWWW

  • Me:

    LET'S. GET. IT. ON. HURKHURKHURK.

  • Him:

    OH. BABY. YOU'RE. GOING. TO. FRY. MY. CIRCUITS.

  • Me:

    Shit, this is going on tumblr.
