Is LJ simply not loading for anyone else?

[kylara]

It's loading for me, although still slowly. Is it dead for you?

[suddenlyflying]

It's loading again for me, thankfully!

[hexiva]

It's loading for me, but sloooowly.

[hexiva]

Is that Cumberbatch's voice?

[suddenlyflying]

Yes indeed! I love his Watson voice. It's so comforting.

HALLO

[kylara]

Oooh, Benedict is narrating Watson in first person? This'll be strangish.

[ardyforshort]

The trilled 'r's - I can never decide if I find them funny or not. I think I do a bit, it just makes him sound even more pretentious than he usually does.

[ardyforshort]

Haha, it does take some getting used to, yes.

[hexiva]

XD Cumberbatch playing Watson.

[suddenlyflying]

I sort of love his poshness. I usually don't go for the type but he's just so sincere about it that I find him utterly endearing.

[suddenlyflying]

It'd be interesting to see him take on that role. Jeremy Brett has played Watson as well.

[hexiva]

I think he does Holmes better than Watson.

[ardyforshort]

Upset Watson is upset

[kylara]

Must... not imagine... Sherlock Holmes pretending to be Watson... must... be strong!

[suddenlyflying]

Am now imagining Sherlock sarcastically wearing John's jumpers. Because he can do that.

[suddenlyflying]

I love how Watson's like "Staying cooped up in a house with Holmes for a few days? Yes please!"

[ardyforshort]

NEED FANART

[ardyforshort]

LOL there is a fair amount of slash around

[suddenlyflying]

I love how standard a trope it is that anyone wanting to get at Holmes would go for Watson (someone very close to him!)

[kylara]

"Fruitful incarceration." Watson is looking forward to a "few days of fruitful incarceration." :D :D :D

[ardyforshort]

FRUITFUL INCARCERATION.
IMMA JUST LEAVE THIS HERE

*high five*

Teehee @ hivemind. XD
