i really should remember more often that game of thrones is not fit for watching on a public computer in the middle of a computer lab at university...

[detectiveintraining]

dear detectiveintraining, how do you feel about the end of my chemical romance? i respect your opinion and im sure your other follower do too so pls tell me and kthxbai x

You sound suspiciously like my friend who is the biggest MCR fan I’ve ever known >< If it’s you, Rach [and I’m 99.99% sure it IS you], get your ass off anon and rant about your despair in the open. However, if you are not her, my deepest apologies!! 

How do I feel? Speechless, shocked, sad, angry. Not angry at them. Angry that I [and probably the greater part of their fanbase] never saw it coming, and even if I/we had it still wouldn’t have helped. Obviously, whatever reason they had, must have been valid. I imagine they didn’t just wake up one morning and just gave everything up, not giving a crap about their fans and their work. The band and their fans was their life as they would keep repeating. It just makes you feel helpless and lost knowing that this fail-safe [because at the end of the day, music is everyone’s fail-safe; it’s always there for you] rock has suddenly vanished. I’m avoiding the rumours and the whys, what-ifs and hows. It’s their business, and while unpleasant, it can’t have been easy on them too, so not to make matters worse, slander should be avoided. We’re [the fans] are not the only ones hurting in this story.While the band mattered to me and I owe a lot of thanks to them, I freely admit that there are so many more people out there for whom MCR was their sole reason for existing. It’s a band that has saved countless lives. And it’s a terrible shame to see them go. One can only hope that they will get back together at some point. Even if it’ll be when they’re 70, white haired and with beer bellies - because no matter what we’ll have done with our lives and no matter where we’ll be then, hearing them play again… it’ll feel like coming home.

[detectiveintraining]

omniscientraven was kind enough to provide me with much needed distraction [yeah, yeah I'll go study as soon as I finish this]. Thank you :)

So, first and foremost - the ruuuules:

Rule 1: Post the rules 

Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones. 

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them

---

Now, that's settled and let's get down to business:

1: What is the first thing you see when you wake up? Depends which direction I wake up facing. If straight ahead - a set of Sherlock posters. To my right, my overcrammed bookshelf. To my left - wardrobe.  

2: What is your favourite font? Comic sans haha. I don't think I have one. One of the nice swirly, calligraphy resembling ones definitely.

3: If you could go back to when you first started using Tumblr, what advice would you give yourself? DO NOT WATCH SHERLOCK, DO NOT WATCH ANYTHING WITH BENEDICT, DO NOT EVEN THINK OF WATCHING SUPERNATURAL. RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN AND SAVE YOUR TIME AND SANITY.  

4: What past accomplishment are you most proud of? Hmm... Probably my biggest art piece - a giant Latin version of The Lord's Prayer in calligraphy. Only time I did something religious - but that was for school so ha.  

5: You control the world for one day, assuming you can’t control for longer than 24 hours, what changes do you make? Do I have to do this seriously or can I be mischievous? In my perfect world - even for one day - schools would teach manners, proper language, classic books; people would be given grants by the governments to travel the world; rape and crime would cease; environments would be protected; animals would roam free. In my dream/fangirl world... Benedict would be king; my fandoms would be a world-wide religion; fanfiction would be published and celebrities could be cloned so everyone could have their own perfect one.  

6: Which would you rather have: Infinite knowledge, infinite youth or invincibility? Infinite knowledge. The mind is the greatest weapon you'll ever own.  

7: What do you think your spirit animal is? Ugh, I feel like I have so many! Probably a hedgehog though.  

8: You find the genie of the lamp, what are your three wishes? Assuming you can’t wish for more wishes. Get my thesis ready. Own a horse. Have enough money to travel the world.  

9: What fictional character, out of EVERY fandom you are in do you sympathise/relate to the most? From Sherlock... John. From Doctor Who... Rose. And from Supernatural - a mixture of both Sam and Dean  

10: Would you rather be Tumblr famous (1m+) and know none of your followers IRL or a Tumblr nobody (+/-100) and know all of your followers IRL? Of course I'd rather know you all in real life! Being a celebrity isn't an appealing prospect.  

11: What quote do you live by; that you know who said, when, in what context, why, and in what subtext and what does it mean to you?  "Open a book this minute and start reading. Don’t move until you’ve reached page fifty. Until you’ve buried your thoughts in print. Cover yourself with words. Wash yourself away. Dissolve. " Carol Shields. Every book is an adventure. Every book is a TARDIS. A portal to a new world. I'd rather be poor and hungry and rejected but I'd still have books.

Another 11 Questions thing! this will be the death of me haha I actually do like answering these, and its a great way to let my followers get to know me more :)

When’s the last time you were hoarse?

Haha, I see what you did there. About a month ago I think.

Hi there. I’m Benedict Cumberbatch. Will you marry me?

I appreciate that, Mr. Cumberbatch, but as I am not a Sherlock fan and I know that there are far more fangirls out there on tumblr who would kill to be in my position right now, I kindly decline and suggest that you go propose to one of them! :)

Obviously, to make this even more awkward and to confess to my incredibly obsessive stalking of her blog I shall AGAIN reply to her post. I'M PLANNING TO ELOPE AND RUN AWAY TO PARIS WITH THAT BLOG. MUAHAHAHA
