Cumberbatched anniversary

August 16, 2015.

I was at alone in my father in law’s house. My husband was out visiting a friend, my father in law was out running an errand. Bored, I sat down in front of the TV at nine pm and started scrolling through the channels. PBS was showing an episode of Sherlock, that show some of my friends watched and talked about a year or two ago, with Benedict Cumberbatch, who seemed to be very popular on the internet. Meh, it had already started, I didn’t want to get involved, I kept clicking.

I went through the entire channel lineup and ended up back on PBS. Oh what the heck, there is nothing else on. I’m half asleep, I probably won’t even make it through the whole episode. Gosh, Cumberbatch looks pretty handsome with those dark curls, not at all like the formally dressed man who had photobombed U2 at the Oscars (that was pretty funny, to me). Wait, who is this naked woman and what the heck is going on in this show?!?! I decided to stay awake and pay attention. About an hour later I was HOOKED! On this show, on this man. Yep, that quickly.

I was a little bit frustrated. I was away from home with no real internet connection and a very limited mobile plan. I would have to wait a few days until I was back home to do intense research on this show and this man. I remembered watching this man on the Katie Couric show a year or so before. I remember thinking, he is very charming, speaks so beautifully, seems so humble and self-deprecating, and has a cutely awkward sense of humor. I could understand why he had such intensely loyal fans. I didn’t think I would become one of them, back then.

When I got home a few days later, I started my research on the man and began watching the show, from the beginning. I watched every episode within 10 days, I read articles and watched a few youtube interviews. I tried to tell myself I was just learning about someone who seemed different than other actors and celebrities I had followed in the past, but I already knew that I was hooked. So hooked that I decided to dust off my old tumblr account and use it to dip a toe into his fandom and learn more.

I have met more than a few wonderful people in this fandom, many in person. Three years later, I am still all in for this man, and still in for this show too. People change, tastes change, but I think it will take a lot for me to ever stop being a fan of this man.

This man...

(and his lovely wife too, to be honest)
