Struggling along...

Flash Bang (chapter 5, "Forever")

mydwynter:

“Good morning,” Sherlock says. His hair is a wild cloud around his head, there are marks from his pillow creased into his cheek, and his face is sleep-soft, a bit puffy, and so endearing John’s chest aches. Sherlock scoots himself closer to John and lays a hand on his waist.

It’s the very first day.

I’m scared to grow up. what if I end up alone. what if my career choice plummets. what if all my friends are happily employed and in relationships. what if no one wants me.
I don’t want to grow up.

Sadly, this is a fear that we all deal with.

Welcome to life.
It kinda sucks but those little moments make it worth it.

I freaking love him.

He also bought his horse from filming of Sleepy Hollow because he heard that it was going to be killed after filming.

He once recorded his voice asking a girl in a coma to wake up, because her doctor said it might help.

Say what you will about his recent movies or his mutually exclusive relationship with Tim Burton, You can’t say that Johnny Depp isn’t a quality human being.

This makes me think briefly of a corollary from Jim Carrey playing the Grinch. That smile-and-then-indecently-smile-farther, which clearly means they’re up to something HORRENDOUSLY NAUGHTY.

Jason Isaacs: I remember my very first day, I improvised a line. I had my first day, probably my first shot, I had to kind of flounce out of a room when Dumbledore, played by the late, great Richard Harris, put me in my place, and there was no line written, no exit line. And I’d been humiliated, and my plan had come to nothing. And I said to Chris Columbus, “Don’t you think there should be a line?” And he said, “Well, say something. Say whatever you like.” So we did another take, and I hadn’t told anyone what I was going to do. And as I turned to leave, I looked at Daniel, and I said, “Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.” And then Daniel, who was all of 12, stepped right up to me, looked me right in the eye, and said “Don’t worry. I will be.” A chill went down my spine. And as he did it, I thought, “Christ, this kid is good.”

This is the part in the Harry Potter issue of Entertainment Weekly, when Jason tells this story, that I started to cry.

One of the most iconic lines in the whole of the series was improvised. By a 12-year-old boy.

What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?

My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually

Yeah this is actually pretty much exactly what is going on. It’s why anti-oxidants are such a big deal. Bonus fact: oxygen oxidizes stuff in your cells or, in other words, it’s not toxic, just setting you on fire

very very slowly.

The bigger killer is the slow degradation of the DNA and RNA in your cells in its process of replication.
THIS IS WHY WE GET WORSE AS WE AGE. And are less able to fight things off.

atlinmerrick: They’re not the prettiest shoes he’s ever seen....

Thu, 16 May 2013 01:44:46 -0400

atlinmerrick:

They’re not the prettiest shoes he’s ever seen. Then again, when he first saw them John had been living at 221B for fifty-two days and hadn’t taken much notice of high heels, well, ever.

Because none of his girlfriends wore heels. Not one. If John thinks about it, he’s pretty sure it’s because in heels each of them would have been taller than he, and maybe they thought that would matter to him. Or maybe it mattered to them.

Except that’s not the point.

The point is that when John first saw the violin heels all those years ago he’d barely known Sherlock a couple months and so he didn’t associate the shoes with his flatmate, though he did amuse himself wondering what kind of song Sherlock might compose on such a strange instrument. Would it be fast, like the staccato beat of a quick stride? Or mournful, like the dark world in which he so often moved?

John remembers he’d grinned, moved on, flight of fancy forgotten.

And then time passed and flatmates became lovers became fiancés became husbands, and five years on John happened across those odd heels again, and though they weren’t the prettiest shoes he’d ever seen—no grand bows, gems, or jewel tones—John bought them for his lithe love.

And that’s when Sherlock showed him the kind of song you compose on such an instrument.

The tune begins a cappella, the vocalist one tall man laughing, amused by his strange and silly gift.

The song then becomes a capriccio piece with the quick and lively clatter of heels across a bedroom floor.

Soon thereafter the tune shifts into something for two voices, singers achieving a fine harmony of high giggles and low murmurs.

The piece then moves in slow and stately progression to something almost hymn-like, reverent and hushed. By far the longest portion of the song, this section is full of the soft susurration of fingers across flesh, of whispers against the fine shell of ears.

Eventually the tune ramps to its staccato and atonal conclusion, one singer’s voice breathy and profane as he comes, the other dark and loud as he follows long minutes after.

The violin heels aren’t the prettiest shoes either of them have ever seen, no, definitely not, but in the end beauty finds a way, it always does.

Dvancecinco thought these shoes needed a fic to go with them; I did too. Story: Atlin Merrick; Shoe submission: A Cumberbatch Of Cookies; Shoe designer: Kobi Levi.

Feed The Body, Nourish The Soul

au where tony is a really avant garde michilen star chef who does crazy shit with LIQUID NITROGEN and FOAMS and MENTAL TASTE COMBINATIONS and steve is a classically trained chef who has turned his back on the snobbery of the classical kitchen to make food affordable and bruce is one of those guys who seems super quiet but once he’s in the kitchen he shouts at you in french and throws pans everywhere and shit and shield is a really weird high concept restaurant where like all the food is served in the dark and the menu is a secret and natasha and clint probably COOK IT IN THE DARK TOO and obviously thor is making BIG BOLD TRENDY NORWEIGAN FUSION FOOD NEW KID ON THE BLOCK OOH

and they all unite against loki who is an overly critical food critic I guess

Title: Feed The Body, Nourish The Soul
Rating: PG (language)
Summary: SEE ABOVE, SORT OF.
Warnings: None.
Notes: This owes everything to Frightfullytreeish except Smörgåstårta, which is the fault of shetlandowl. I’m not a chef, I’ve just read a lot of books about food, so my apologies for any inaccuracies. Also I wanted to say, at the outset, that I have nothing against the Food Network, chain restaurants, or seasoned fries. I actually love seasoned fries.

***

TOBRU and War On Hunger are usually located next to each other. Not always, because War On Hunger is on wheels, but usually. TOBRU is one of the only restaurants in Manhattan that hasn’t run the War On Hunger food truck out of its territory, and Steve in his gratitude usually leaves them some chickpea chocolate cake or a plate of locally-made pasta to eat after closing time. Steve’s presence in the kitchen, sneaking in to stash food in the fridge, has become a regular occurrence.

The first time Steve fed Tony, Tony looked at him and said “Why are you such a fucking hipster?”

“Beg pardon?” Steve asked. He isn’t a hipster. Yes, he owns a food truck and wears suspenders, but that’s because he likes food trucks and suspenders.

Finally: Here’s Your First Look At The Return of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Premiering July 16th At 8PM on The CW

Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the cult improv show that stopped producing new episodes nearly a decade ago, is coming back to TV starting this July — and The CW has just released a first look at the (slightly) revamped series.

Starring Whose Line? vets Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady, the revived show will be hosted by Aisha Tyler, best known as the voice of Lana on the FX show ‘Archer’, and feature a different special guest each week.

If this first clip is any indication, Stiles, Mochrie, and Brady have spent the last ten years in an improv concentration camp because they haven’t lost a single morsel of extemporaneous talent.

Whose Line Is It Anyway? Take 2 is set to premiere Tuesday, July 16th, at 8 PM ET.
