I WANT WATSON TO HAVE LOTS OF KNITWEAR

[snowdarkred]

anruiukimi  has already heard this, but....

I greatest wish is for BBC!John Watson to wear a great amount of knitwear in the upcoming S2 of Sherlock. I mean, seriously. Knitted scarves. MOAR knitted jumpers. WEE KNITTED HATS. WEE KNITTED MITTENS. SOCKS.

It's not that I have a knitwear fetish (not judging, but that thought is vaguely horrifying) or anything, it's just.... I find Martin Freeman!Watson to be painfully, painfully adorable. I mean, whenever I see him on screen, all I can think is 'OH! I just want to take him home and wrap him in blankets and bake him COOKIES and make him TEA!' And then I go into spasms about how cuddly and short and squishable and OMGOMGOMG CUTE! he is.

And I mean this all in a non-sexual way, of course; asexual here. He's just...disturbingly adorable to me. I mean, Martin Freeman is forty years old, what the hell is wrong with me?

But yeah. Him in that jumper in the first episode or that WEE STRIPED SHIRT OMGOMGOMG just about kills me every time. I JUST WANT TO HUG HIM, OKAY. DON'T DISRESPECT THE CUTIE. *flails*

....I think I have a problem?

Having not seen the new Sherlock yet, I am completely admitting I'm asking this to be a shit-disturber.

Does it have to be knitwear only, or can he wear crochet work as well?

Having not seen the new Sherlock yet, I am completely admitting I'm asking this to be a shit-disturber. Okay, I'm a bit slow today. I've read this sentence six times and I still don't know what you're trying to say? /is a failure at life

Crochet work is fine. I admit to barely being able to tell the difference between the two. Er. Um. /continues to be a failure

It's just, he's just, ACK ADORABLE. ;-;

It basically means "I'm bored and teasing you a little" and according to my mom, knitted stitches have more of a V-shape and crochet stitches are more horizontal looking. And I didn't think you could really tell the difference from just looking, so I learned something new!

and OH GOD! that last pic just killed me. seriously, no more teasing, this man needs fingerless gloves, right now!

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

:D And I learned something new as well! Day officially made. <3

I know! I really, really want them to have a winter episode or something. Gah, him running around slushy London in SCARVES and HATS and FINGERLESS GLOVES and JUMPERS/SWEATERS! :D Considering Sherlock's long coat and scarf, I think they'll look quite a pair. :)

He's going to play Bilbo in the Hobbit movie, and I swear, I've already made on of my friends promise to come with me to see it in case I start squeeing in the theatre so that she can pinch me.

PS - It's okay to tease! I'm just being unusually dense today; I think it has to do with relief that I don't have to work tomorrow.

Also, he's officially listed at 5 foot 7 on IMDB, but I call bullshit. He is, literally, at least six inches shorter than every single one of his costars on Sherlock, with the exception of Mrs. Hudson, the old lady.

[anruiukimi.livejournal.com]

Nah, he's 5'7". I've seen him in several other things and that's right on the dot. I have a feeling shoes aren't helping with some of the others. :P

PSST: Haven't seen you on AIM in awhile! I have the day off 8D

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

Really? He just seems...shorter. I mean, I've seen him in other stuff too, but still. Short. Eh.

I go on AIM! A lot! You just live on the other side of the world and have a screwy timezone where you're usually asleep by the time I'm on. >:| Also, I've been really out of it today, which makes me a poor conversation partner, so I'm not going on today. Besides, I'm trying to write for the Losers fandom for the first time in ages....

Also, ugh, I have no money, but I want a paid account for more icons! I think it's going to be my Winter Solstice present to myself. :3

[anruiukimi.livejournal.com]

I'm always on AIM if my computer is on! And I wake up in the early evening for you. :P Hahaha. Hey, I have a cold, we can be out of it together. ;)

Sounds like a plan. :3

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

Ah, poor baby! *pets* Colds are no fun. Is it a head cold or the plague?

[anruiukimi.livejournal.com]

I've grown a cough in the last 12 hours, but still a head cold. It's going around here with a vengeance. XD;

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

*magically sends you get well tea*

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

You are such a dork. But it's okay. And I really can't say anything after the way I've been flailing and stuff over Ryan Robbins the last few days.

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

:D Ah, yes, the great Ryan Robbins. ;) no, you can't say anything. <3

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Dude if you actually know who I'm talking about...I'm impressed.

Generally I don't have the high ground. Every once in a while I do...but generally speaking no I don't.

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

:D Yes, I know who Ryan Robbins is. He was in an episode of Supernatural way back when. :3 And, you know, Battlestar Galactica.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Dayam...he was in SPN...I've missed that somehow. LOL well that's obviously not why I know who he is...and I fully admit that even he will not make me watch BSG. :-) I watch him on something else.

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

He was in Bugs, I think. One of the construction guys. You watch him on Stargate?

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he was in Bugs (I went and looked it up when you mentioned SPN). I did watch him on SGA. He's on Sanctuary now which is where I'm currently watching him.

And he'll be in the pic spam I'm doing...she asked for pictures that'll get her muse going...I think Ryan'll help ;-)

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

I like playing Six Degrees of Supernatural. It's fun. :3

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Yes it is. I'm just amazed at Ryan's chameleon abilities. I've got recent pictures of him...taken within like a month and he looks like a completely different man.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Are you not at home? Or avoiding AIM cuz you're writing or doing HW? Oh wait...no it's Tuesday...you had your test this morning.

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

I had my test yesterday; I think I did horribly. D: I had work this morning, came home, and then fell asleep for four hours. I am currently trying to write another girl!Jensen fic, because I haven't done it in awhile, and I don't feel like working on my bigbang at the moment. :/ I'll probably have the tenth installment of my ridic alive with the glory of love 'verse by the weekend.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Aw I sorry to hear that, bebe...about the test. The new story is awesome. I was working on a Losers' Halloween, but it took a left turn somewhere so I'm taking a break to do a pic spam for a friend and try to figure out where it's going.

Yay for more girl!Jensen :-) Awesome sauce!

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

I studied and everything! D: I dunno, I just suck at this technical stuff, which is something of a problem. :(

Good luck on the fic! Sometimes left turns are good things! <3

Yeah, I was getting ready for work this morning, fighting the urge to stress bake, and I was like, huh. Fic idea!

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

*huggles you* Sometimes that just happens. I've been there. It'll even out, I promise.

Thanks. I don't think I'll be working on it much more tonight...but I think I got a good 1K written today (haven't done a final count yet.) Yeah, I'm not upset about the left turn, I just need to haul it back to the prompt. I just wasn't expecting Jackie (niece) to burst into tears when Jensen took her downstairs to make breakfast. Fail on my part for not expecting an emotional 7 year old when she's just lost her mom and she wasn't sure her uncles were going to come back.

*huggles you* Yeah, stress urge to bake needs to be funneled into fic. Is Jensen attempting to bake?

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

It's just, it's happen twice for the same class. Maybe this isn't for me. Ack.

:o Oh no! Why does she burst into tears?

Jensen isn't just attempting to bake, she is succeeding. Or she will, once I figure out how to finish this thing. *pokes fic*

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Maybe the class isn't for you? Or your major? You need to talk? You know where I am, hun.

The "oh, no!" was totally my reaction when she did it. I wrote it and then I looked at it and went "um, Jackie? Really?"

You know the background for my canon for Losers? That Jensen's sister gets killed/died (yeah I really need to figure that out) and Jensen is given guardianship of her. Anyway this story takes place the first time he (and Cougar) come home after the funeral. Essentially--Jackie's still trying to adjust to Mommy being gone and then Uncle Jake and Uncle Cougar came but had to leave...and Mommy left and never came back. So she was damn sure that when they left--they weren't coming back. So the tears are a combination of "I'm 7, I miss my mommy, I'm glad you're home, I love you, my whole world is a mess." But Jensen is male and military and just doesn't exactly know what to do with a sobbing 7 year old female. Although he handled it better than I thought he would.

I can send you what I have if you'd like :-)

Awesome! Jensen baking is either totally awesome or a terrifying prospect. I think if s/he (depending on the Jensen) was completely focused--s/he would be awesome at it...but if something distracted her/him--there could be explosions.

Good luck on finishing. :-) I've been there.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I'd say that sounds perfectly reasonable to me, actually.

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

:D Maybe I should start a letter campaign: Why Mr. Freeman Must Wear Jumpers and Scarves and Mittens at All Times. Hmm....

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I'D SIGN THAT.

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE WOULD SIGN THAT. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. IT'S MANDATORY.
