Links, Post #17

What a week+ of hideous news here in the States.

While I try to figure out how to respond to those horrors, here's a couple of links of good cheer:

*Tom Hiddleston gave a great interview with even better photos to The Gentleman's Journal. He talks The Essex Serpent and Loki, of course, but he also talks theatre, to my joy.

*Mr. Malcolm's List, a Regency rom-com with diverse casting, opens this week in North America cinemas and in the UK in August. Zawe Ashton is getting rave reviews for her work as the anti-heroine who nevertheless finds love; here's a typically thoughtful interview with La Ashton.

(It makes me low-key happy that both interviews reference their engagement but don't dwell on it.)

Lastly, BNF fan Leupagus has had a whole Bertie Carvel coup de foudre -- which I wholly understand -- and while they've been pushing for Dalgliesh fic, they've also revisited the 2013 TV series Babylon and they've fallen for Finn/Liz. They've also started a fake-dating fic, "Treads on the Ground", which is 2 chapters in and a lot of fun.

(You might remember that I've written a few Finn/Liz fics in my time.)

So there we are, a bit of distraction. Now I'm going to turn up the Stones' "Waiting on a Friend" and dance for just a minute or two. May you find surcease in hard times!

Oh my word, those TH photos! Thank you, I really needed that lift.

TH has definitely hit his prime. :) Those are some of the best pics of him I've ever seen.

Hugs hugs, A!

Oh, lovely Hiddleston article and gorgeous photos. I love that he loves BBC Radio and that comment “The feeling, when you’re home, of knowing the way.” I know just what he means by that.

Many hugs and happy dancing.

I loved that interview, too, and he is so very English in the best way. :)

Hugs and a good end of week, K!

I love how positive you are in spite of the current unpleasantness.

Mr. Malcolm's List looks excellent. I love Regency rom coms.

There's Dalgliesh?! I must find it and watch it, stat!

The reviews for Mr. Malcolm's List are very positive -- and they all emphasize that it's a Regency rom com. I need the predictable happy ending right now!

Cheers for the rest of your week!
