Can They Make A Movie Out Of This? Please?

Another movie, I mean. A modern day version of The Hobbit - pretty much "The Sons of Durin" on the big screen, only without the Bagginshield twist. It would be so amazing. It would be the best thing ever, second only to The Hobbit itself, of course.

Surely the fans can cobble something together, at least.

Oh, wait, they just did.

But it's only gifs! *wails and flails*

Captain America? Look Again

Courtesy of Tumblr, of course.

| remember that time Captain America went on a double date with Clara Oswald

| then chased down Thorin Oakenshield

|  for killing Caesar Flickerman

| and ended up fighting Elrond and Dobby

| who had started everything by killing Argus Filch

| | the nerd is strong with this post

I now dare you to go back and rewatch Captain America: The First Avenger with all of this in mind. I think it will result in some Minds Blown. I am already a terrible person to watch the movie with, since the whole scene involving Heinz Kruger I am yelling, "Go, Nazi guy!" and in general being a RA fangirl and devoted member of the Armitage Army instead of cheering on Stever Rogers.

Why must you play the villains, Mr. Armitage? It places us fangirls who try to be sane in such a dilemma!

Of course, Elrond is also evil in that movie, but he is for some reason easier to watch. Dunno why. Maybe he's just a really entertaining villain.

Oh, and I am reminded that I legitimately saw the surname Erskine yesterday. I think it was on the building of a law practice firm. Still, I pointed it out and said, "Hey, it's like the doctor in Captain America!" My family ignored me, as was only proper.

Tumblr Fandoms Discuss the Sherlock Predicament

I blame you, Amy.

I blame you for everything.

So a copy of the first season of Sherlock was found in the city library and I have watched the first two episodes (up until this point, I have subsisted upon clips found on YouTube, which is a pitiful fare). Therefore, I suppose that means I have officially joined the fandom.

Speaking of which, I found this on Tumblr and, since I cannot merely reblog it, will have to retype it here.

      Doctor Who: Guys, we need to do something about Sherlock.

Homestuck: What? What's wrong?

Doctor Who: They're jealous of you, Homestuck. You complained about being on hiatus for two months and then you got an update and... now they're just going insane.

Homestuck: But-but that wasn't our fault! We were just excited!

Doctor Who: I know. But look at them!

Sherlock: Falls... falling... how... John... Sherlock... Rat, wedding, bow.

Doctor Who: As you can see, prolonged exposure drove them insane.

Supernatural: Well, what do expect us to do? It's not like they're possessed or anything, they're just psychotic.

Sherlock: I AM NOT A PSYCHOPATH, I AM A HIGH-FUNCTIONING SOCIOPATH! DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Avengers: What's going on here?

Hunger Games: Should we kill it?

Doctor Who: No, that's not what I meant! I meant--

Harry Potter: Hey, we're in pain, too! Why don't we get any sympathy?

Merlin: Guys, just calm down--

Star Trek: WHY ARE YOU SYMPATHIZING WITH KHAN!?

Sherlock: Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive!

Doctor Who: I. AM. TALKING!!

Everyone: ...

Doctor Who: Thank you. Alright, we need to get someone to help Sherlock. Do you know anyone? A psychiatrist, maybe?

Hannibal: Would anyone care for a nice meal?

Doctor Who: Where did you even come from? Did we invite you?

 

I don't know why, but I get a kick out of watching fandoms deal with each other (or at least try to deal with each other). In that vein, I shall repost something I saw this morning on Audrey's blog:

 

 

And, I can tell you, Rick Riordan regrets nothing. There's a reason why the ending of each of the three Heroes of Olympus books has made me want to scream and throw things.

 

The fandom calls them 'Rickhangers' now, not 'cliffhangers'.

 

My fandoms, people.
