On the basis of this movie, I watched him and I said, “Listen, you should be playing King Lear.” And he said, “But what about my accent?” and I said “Who cares? You speak beautifully, you’re an extraordinary actor, and you’re wasted.” I mean this man did Don Juan in Hell on Broadway…and there he is doing Fantasy Island. He’s doing that with one hand tied behind his back and his eyes are closed and he’s out to lunch someplace. That doesn’t challenge him. For better or worse—and I’d like to think for better—this challenged him. He loved this. He loved playing Khan: he loved playing Ahab, Lear, Lucifer, all rolled into one.

When u say something sarcastically but no one realizes it so they think ur horrid DX
Being a fan of a series for so long that the characters who used to be older than you are now younger than you.
This one wins. Everyone else go home.
so in class today, someone insulted Jennifer Lawrence by calling her a butterface, and i just stood up and yelled “NO ONE INSULTS THE PRINCESS OF TUMBLR”, but then someone else yelled out “EVERYONE KNOWS THE PRINCESS OF TUMBLR IS DEAN WINCHESTER”
NO NO NO NONO! He’s DWALIN’S! And DWALIN IS HIS!!! Nooooooo! Leave Ori to Dwalin! They’re meant to be! They’re like a perfect freaking pairing and and yeah Dwori rocks!!! Did you not see Dwalin being all protective and shit?! It was like a freaking love story I tell you!!!
I…
Um… ok. I’m not being rude here, but me and my friend were only having a freaking joke, and my friend was the one that wrote it while we were drunk. And it’s kind of offensive you judging me merely by a post. I don’t go around dissing other people’s shipping, nor do I have anything against them. In fact, I admire and love some of the art that people do of Ori and other pairings. I’m very pissed off with you saying my so called ‘obsession’ is passing off as creepy, I’m just like any other god damn shipper, I like to write fics and look at art that people have done, that’s all I do. And if I want to tell people I like a ship, then yeah, I can do that. I don’t know why you took what he just wrote so seriously, if you don’t like what I write and can’t take it as a joke then don’t bother reading things on my blog.
And I think I know the difference between actors and their characters. I’m not stupid. If people like RPS then let them be, you’re basically contradicting yourself when you said I should let other people ship Ori with different characters. Adam and Graham are real people and have lives, yes I know that, and I doubt they’d ever go onto sites like this, they ain’t stupid either. In fact, I’d be pissed off if anyone did tell them about these sites, cos yeah, it wouldn’t be nice for them to find them. But like I said, the actors purposely stay away from the Internet, because of things like this! And it’s what fans do, I don’t know about other fans, but when I write about them I don’t think of the real Adam and Graham, I just make them into different people in my head. Just because I say I ship them, it doesn’t mean I’m serious about it or have what You say an ‘obsession’. I just think it’s sweet that they’re good friends, just like everyone else, I love how close the Hobbit cast are!
And finally, I don’t know what the fuck you’re on about when you say I’ll do something I regret… like what exactly? Draw porn and send it to the actors? I’m not fucking stupid. If you must know, I’m way over 20 and I’m not a stupid person like you seem to think. So please, leave me the hell alone and don’t judge me on some silly post that me and a friend posted while we were drunk!!! If I had a problem honey, I think I’d know about it. It’s fucking imagining two characters being in love, I don’t think that’s a problem. I’m not the one going around drawing porn and shit about them now, am I. Thanks for showing your strange, true colours. I think you’re the one who’s going into depth about the whole thing. Didn’t think you’d react to something so silly in such a strange way.
Not to add to the drama… but u shouldnt expect the actors to stay away from sites like this, after all we already know a few of them actually have tumblrs. If u dont want them to see it u prolly shouldnt post it in the first place… happy shipping!

We’re all going to be like
The end of every hiatus is near.
what if the homestuck hiatus ends in november too
theprivatelifeofsherlockholmes:
I need a fellow sherlollian I can complain to about my writing. Who won’t be against my sudden rants of frustration - since I think my Johnlock friend doesn’t get it.
They’ll get in on every plot-plan etc. Like a beta, except more like a friend. That sounded a wee bit sad really.
Know that feel…
