“Will you stop laughing? It sounds weird.”

“It's just... Did you, uh, read that in a book? 'Cause that's such a cheesy way to ask a girl out for a date.” 

“Like I said, I  p l a n n e d  to say it but, as you know, I  n e v e r  did.”

“You chickened out!”

“You were very intimidating back then.”

“You were too nerdy for me back then.”

“Oh,  r e a l l y ?”

Hello everyone! :)

Just wanted to let whoever might be interested know that I added new icons, mostly Melinda related with a dash of Phil and Philinda in it because apparently framing their beautiful, happy and relaxed, not to mention stupid faces is a way to cope with my feelings from 6x05 in my ICONS PAGE:

icons are 128x128 px (in the page they look smaller, if you want to see them full-size you have to open them in a separate tab);

credit is not necessary but it’s always appreciated! Just please don’t claim them as your own - I’m aware they’re not much but I put a bit of time and effort in them!

it would be lovely if you could like and/or reblog this post if you save or use them (and of course if you fancy them!)

I hope you’ll enjoy them! ♥

Hello everyone! :)

As I was creating my own, I started playing around and ended up making some icons about my queen and light of my life Melinda May: there are not many, but I might as well let you know that they exist in my ICONS PAGE (you can find them scrolling a bit or using filters)!

icons are 128x128 px (in the page they look smaller, if you want to see them full-size you have to open them in a separate tab);

credit is not necessary but it’s always appreciated! Just please don’t claim them as your own - I’m aware they’re not much but I put a bit of time and effort in them!

I hope you enjoy them! ♥

Hello, dear followers!

I wrote this because I’ve been wondering about my permanence here on Tumblr and, well... long story short, I’m not so sure whether to stay.

I thought I could write something to apologize once more for not being active, but days have passed and the feeling that it wouldn’t really matter still stands. I even began to write a bit about my last week, which hasn’t been very good, to somehow excuse my absence and to see if it would do me any good to vent but, honestly, after what happened in Paris (and in general what happens in any other country dealing with wars and terrorism, death, violence, abuse and suffering), what happened, what happens to me is no big deal at all, no matter how tough I feel it is for me.

In any case, I’m aware that during the last months, while logging in, I often had the urge to write to complain about something, and I had to restrain myself not to, because my intention, building this corner on Tumblr, was to find a place in which I could revel and indulge in what I’m passionate about and eventually set aside troubles and problems for a bit. Unfortunately, it seems the trick has been working less and less, not due to anything or anyone’s fault here - I have to blame myself and how I let my problems interfere with my hobbies and interests and my serenity (this, when I don’t blame myself for not being able to solve said problems, at least those I might be able to do something about, but that’s a story for another time).

The point is, I’m afraid things in my life aren’t going to set themselves the way I would like anytime soon and I believe, until they get better, I will continue dealing with Tumblr as I do now: being here little, barely interacting with anyone (and, for the record, the fault is nobody’s but mine - I’m struggling a lot with talking, socializing and generally dealing with people, more than the usual), “forcing” myself to update the blogs even when I feel I have little interest for anything, even the things I usually like and share here. I don’t like the way I’m dealing with this place one bit - I’ve always known I’m not a person cut for social networks and blogging platforms, but in some moments I thought I was doing fairly well, after all, and, despite my “no” moments, I thought it could last, but I’ve gone through too many moments in which I felt the need to apologize for the “intermittent” and fickle way I deal with Tumblr; not the way it should be and, most importantly, not the way I would like it to be.

So I’m considering whether I should keep my blogs going or I should just delete everything and be done with this place. I’m considering taking a full hiatus, even if I believe I’d still have the feeling I’m leaving things “pending” here, and I already have too many unresolved situations in my life... ok, one more perhaps wouldn’t matter, but still. To draw a line on something I know I’m not really good at (blogging and such), though it has been mostly a pleasant, fun and nice experience (even if, for being just a hobby, it has sometimes been quite time and energy consuming, but I know nobody forced me to do anything in the first place)? There are things that deserve a full stop more than Tumblr, I believe. So, should I spare my blogs and let things stay the way they are until I sort things out in my life and/or the situation changes in some way? Even if it means my blogs might be, most of the time, mere archives of queued posts - of beautiful things I enjoy and appreciate for sure, but with little time or energy from my part to actively share emotions and opinions with people, to talk, discuss together? Is it worth? Most importantly, is it fair to you, my followers, who decided to stick with me, especially to some of you, who have always been so patient and understanding with my flaws when dealing with me?

I have no answer or conclusion to these considerations yet. I’m still thinking it through. I don’t want to stress too much about this in any case, but it’s something I’ve had on my mind for a bit. I wrote this because I needed to bring my thoughts out of my head and, at the same time, let you know a bit more how things are between myself and Tumblr at the moment (and I say “Tumblr” as the platform in general: I’m not referring to anyone in particular). 

I haven’t decided anything yet, especially because I would like to avoid regretting any rushed choice, in particular the one regarding leaving Tumblr. Until then (and I’ll write something if and when I think I’ve taken a decision), I’ll let things stay as they are.

Thank you for reading! <3

Hello, H-Division! :)

I updated the page on my blog about the campaign to save Ripper Street: thanks to this page (btw, I read the article but I still want to keep my feet on the ground; I don't trust myself blindly believing to rumors - nothing ever good comes from it ^-^'), I found out other petitions that you might want to sign to help:

Save Ripper Street!

To The BBC: please re-think your decision to cancel Ripper Street

BBC America: Put Ripper Street back on air now, not Feb 2014. Also reverse Ripper Street cancellation

The "original" petitions Reverse the BBC's decision to cancel Ripper Street and Commission Ripper Street for a third series or one-off specials are still up and running, of course.

There is also a Radio Times Poll in which you can vote for the best series in 2013; Ripper Street is included in the list.

That's all for now, folks! ;)

"I was always drawn to acting and I was always involved in drama clubs at school. What I enjoyed the most was the rehearsal, people getting together and collaborating on ideas and sharing stories. I loved the way it brought people together, I loved the way it made me feel and I think that’s why I pushed it. I always thought that if you want to do something you should give it a go, at least."

Cats or dogs? Cats!! Dogs are lovely too, but cats own my heart completely!

Why did you join tumblr in the first place? .......... BUHAAGAHAHAHAHA! Ok, I'll try to control myself ... truth is, right now I haven't the slightest idea! Curiosity, perhaps ... yeah, I'll go with that! I remember reading about this place and I was so intrigued that I wanted to try ... I expected to cancel my registration soon (as I've done with other social networks I've tried), but apparently I didn't! ;) And it was the beginning of the end, actually ...

Favourite actor or actress? Oh gosh, how am I going to answer this?! Let's do one and one, at least: Benedict Cumberbatch and Meryl Streep! It's just impossible for me to answer with only one!
