Happy Birthday Sherlock Holmes!

As a fan of fictional characters whom I fancy,

I shall be gifting this quote to…

…Mr Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)

You can also gift this quote to your fictional crush!

Felt like writing. Actually writing it felt like the only fitting poetic fix.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 1000 likes!

ONE LIFE

I’ve recently seen One Life in the cinema, and here are my thoughts about it.

SPOILER ALERT!

I LOVED the movie.

I love how different and real this felt compared to most hero movies. There was no scene where Sir Nicholas Winton delivered an emotional heroic speech to a crowd to get help and donations (given the time period and place they were in, that would’ve been incredibly unrealistic as freedom of speech was limited). “Show, not tell” was achieved beautifully in this film. Instead of everything working out in a night, they showed Nicky, Doreen and Trevor working long hours, racing time day and night.

Instead of Sir Winton saying he loved and cared about kids, they showed it by him photographing kids and doing everything within his power to find foster homes for them. I also loved the scene where he gives kids small pieces of chocolate and how happy the kids look during that scene. It also makes the viewers realise how small things most take for granted, such as chocolate, can be a privilege to some and how fortunate we are to have it.

I also loved how they showed Sir Winton grieving the loss of the children they couldn’t save. The producers didn’t change it to a perfect happy ending where everyone lives. Instead, they mentioned what happened to those who weren’t as fortunate, but the 669 lives they rescued are worth celebrating.

I also appreciate at the end of the movie, they told us what happened to Nicky’s friends. They weren’t just forgotten; instead, they were mentioned without too much screen time, as this movie is about Sir Nicholas Winton and the children he saved.

Fanfiction Frustrations

Am I the only that finds it more frustrating when the author says “use your imagination” than an unfinished fic.

Because when it’s unfinished there’s at least the tiniest amount of hope of the author coming back to it.

But when it’s “use your imagination” I just wanna throw my phone at the wall.

Crowley’s Anger For Gabriel

The main reason Crowley didn’t want Gabriel around was because the last time he saw him, Gabriel had tried to kill Aziraphale. Crowley was trying to protect Aziraphale.

We love (protective) Crowley protecting his angel.

Crowley’s Angel

While rewatching Good Omens season 1 & 2 I counted how many times Crowley calls Aziraphale by his name and the nicknames he has for him.

Here are the results:

Angel: 21

Aziraphale: 14

Best Friend: 4

Idiot: 4

Clever: 1

Bastard: 1

The fact that Crowley calls him “angel” more than “Aziraphale”, is so romantic, cute and sweet.

Aziraphale & Crowley Could’ve Lived Together

The only reason Crowley lived in his car instead of being roommates with Aziraphale was because of Gabriel staying with Aziraphale in the bookshop.

My Thoughts On Aziraphale & Crowley’s Kiss & Break Up

This ripped my heart out, broke it to pieces, threw it on the floor and stomped on it.

I’m broken now.

Stop, you’re giving me too many ideas.

I can only think of them all day y’know.

Jeremy Brett Being Charming (2)

Besides Jeremy Brett looking like a Charming Prince in My Fair Lady, he acted like a Prince Charming as well.

The way he looks at Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) is so adorable. He looks at her with such admiration and love.

He tips off his hat for her. Such a gentleman.

The way he stands by her side.

He brings her flowers.

He’s ready to wait for her, no matter how long it may take.

Everything about him is pure perfection.

Bad boys are overrated, we need more guys like Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Jeremy Brett).
