Classy...

[elisi]

It was Saturday yesterday and there was no new Class... Am not sure what I'll do if it doesn't get a second season. It's easily been the best thing about 2016 - like, it seems so long since I've been genuinely excited about a show. Since I've had proper, new, intricate, fascinating characters and stories to delve into, with a 'verse teeming with possibilities, with a ton of layers. Not to mention a shiny new OTP... And it's so well written! (It was the best birthday present ever.)

I might have spent time I didn't spend on Christmas preparations making icons... (Christmas cards are done though! Thank goodness.)

The official site has a ton of good stuff (such a million behind-the-scenes videos), but my favourite so far might be Class Fan Art - especially the banner made by seventhdemigod. Basically perfect. <3 (Spoilers for ep 4 I suppose, if you want to be pedantic.)

Also I don't think I've ever re-watched a show as much as I am this one - of course I always re-watched to write meta, but with Class I have to keep telling myself to remember to take notes, because I just want to watch, and catch all the little details and wallow in the characters. ♥

Anyway, since my reviews take time (and I am strict with spoilers!), I figured people might want to talk to me about the episodes I've not gotten to yet (to yell or to cry or to just flail) - if so, this is your post. :)

THIS. Although try adding BBC3, that does help a little.
I've been doing 'BBC Class', so I'll try that as well. I have the same problem with The Good Place. Getting everybody's Tumblr posts about how they're 'not in a good place right now' when you're looking for cute gif sets is not what I come to fandom for.

You know, I wondered about Hannibal and the flower crowns. Like - why? What's the significance?
Because whimsey, basically. I do not think the flower crown meme originated with Hannibal, but it is the fandom that most thoroughly made it their own. The things is, Hannibal is so dark, and so cerebral and so gruesome and so arty and so srs bsnss that a lot of the fan production around the show is, deliberately and by necessity, as far in the opposite direction as possible. So flower crowns were, like, the perfect symbol to take the edge off the show. And I think it helped that the people who made the show completely embraced it. There are Funco Pop figurines of Hannibal characters with flower crowns. And when they brought in the actor they had play the Red Dragon in season three, he went to his first fan event, and the other actors basically plopped a flower crown on his head, and he literally told everyone 'I have been told I have to wear this. I don't understand why.' Which went over very well with the room.

Here is an informative article. And Fandom lore claims that this may be the very first Hannibal flower crown meme. In which precious cinnamon roll and ever-suffering INFJ with sensitive hair Will Graham hates everything. Expect puppies.

Some Day you shall watch Hannibal. And then we shall talk. It will be glorious. Oh yes.

Anyway - if there's anything you want, I'm happy to make it! :)
I think I rather fancy something with Quill and Charlie, if you're inspired. Possibly James Bonding it. That's always what I'm looking for in icons and never finding enough of: multiple people. I thought briefly about making some, but I don't care that much.

LOL!

That's just fabulous. One day I shall watch it, promise. Although we're still trying to finish Bojack and Stranger Things, and Darcy watched the first episode of the new Dirk Gently and decided it was The Best Thing Ever. Like. Insane. But made perfect sense. The girls want to watch it too, so we shall have to all sit down one night (MAYBE TONIGHT) and start watching. I shall let you know. It might be a Ne thing.

Neat! And reminds me that last week we had a parcel delivered on reception containing a stag/reindeer head with detachable antlers. With no name. Thankfully the owner eventually turned up to claim it.

I shall glance at Netflix tonight and see if it's there. Oh and ITV Player and Channel 4 etc. Not sure where it aired.

The James Bonding is great. Although finding good caps is a bitch. This was as close as I'd gotten. (Before seeing this comment.) I don't like it, so I never uploaded it, and then ~life~ took over again and I never got any further.

Still a walking zombie over here (am hopefully leaving work early today) but as I had to obtain Class in an *ahem* easily cap-able format, I could nab you something if you want a particular frame?

OOoh. Well, just one where he's pointing the gun, but not looking like an idiot. There's no rush, I've got plenty to be getting on with - like tidying the house & wrapping presents...

(I AM ON HOLIDAY OMG. For two weeks. God bless the PTB of education which decree that CLOSING College for two weeks is the best thing to do.)

ETA: I hope you get much rest, and soon. *pets*
