When Fandom makes me happy :D

[magog_83]

Ok, so THIS is making me extremely happy tonight :D :D

It seems someone has tweeted that Bradley and Colin are RIGHT THIS MOMENT at some bar in London, having a quiet drink, TOGETHER (though presumably not from the same glass, ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD BE OK TOO). I'm really hoping this means Bradley went to see Colin's play. I don't even read that much RPF but apparently I am ridiculously invested in them being good friends even off set. WHY AM I NEVER RANDOMLY DRINKING IN BARS WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN??

Gossip shamelessly filched from hermette and sheswatching :)

ETA: Also, if you google 'Bradley James and Colin Morgan' and click 'latest' (all of which I absolutely did not just do by the way), the sixth result is NUDE ERECTIONS. I... have no idea what to say to that.

ETA2: Must go to bed. DAMN YOU TIME ZONE. Still that was an awesome couple of hours! I'm sure I will be ready to squee more in the morning - Night all! <3

MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE, I CAN'T EVEN. *FLAILS*

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I didn't realise how much I wanted to hear this news until it appeared on my flist :D :D I have such a ridiculous grin on my face now.

[menarione.livejournal.com]

OMG.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I actually made a strange high pitched noise when I read it. I did not have this reaction when I read about Bradley going to see the tennis with Sir Leon (although that was cool too). There's just something about Bradley and Colin hanging out together that makes my heart happy :D :D

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I'd much rather imagine them enjoying their nice undisturbed night out, and not getting swarmed by fangirls. I wouldn't want anything to put them off meeting up whenever they feel like it ;)

I'm so happy to think that they're friends. All the cast talk about how well they get on and I think it really comes through in their performances too (and in all the extras) <3

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Agreed <3 Now if they could just provide some more video diaries, I think fandom would be pretty happy...

though presumably not from the same glass, ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD BE OK TOO.
ahahahah!!!

And NUDE ERECTIONS is 4th when I do it. LOL.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

:D :D When I typed 'together' I had a sudden image of them sharing a straw like in some cheesy 50s movie/Happy Days, which DOES seem unlikely somehow, but in my defence my brain was slightly frazzled by the news.

Oh my god, NUDE ERECTIONS are moving up!

::did not just type that::

I should not have had that wine.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I am drunk on B/C luuuuuuuuuuuurve. And think you are very right about the upward thrust of those NUDE ERECTIONS.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA

Uh oh, this entry is now two places higher than the NUDE ERECTIONS. I have squashed them :(

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

gah! do you think they peeked? That was pretty quick. :/

OMG! You don't remove yourself from public searches? ha!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I just clicked NUDE ERECTIONS a few times, just to keep them up there. :P

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

NUDE ERECTIONS FOREVER.

Except not really, because that would be awkward at work and other formal occasions.

ps. How do you stop yourself from being on public search?? I should probably do that so I am not forever associated with the words 'NUDE ERECTIONS'

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

go here:

and check: Minimize my journal's inclusion in search engine results and Minimize my comment's inclusion in search engine results.

That should do it.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

YAAAAY DONE.

Thank you!!! Now I need no longer fear the NUDE ERECTIONS.

All is well.

[vensre.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[ras-elased.livejournal.com]

I CANNOT EVEN. WHAT IS HAPPENING. HOW IS THIS REAL. MY BRAIN, IT IS BROKEN FROM THE SQUEE. ♥

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

IT'S LIKE A PRESENT TO FANDOM. I HAVEN'T SQUEED THIS MUCH SINCE 'YOU'RE THE VOICE' AND 'ROMANCE OR BROMANCE?' <3 <3

[ras-elased.livejournal.com]

OMG I KNOW. IT'S LIKE FANDOM IS HAVING ONE BIG SQUEE PARTY RIGHT NOW. IT IS FANTASTIC AND EPIC.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

IT'S AMAZING. EVERYONE WAS SUFFERING FROM BRADLEY WITHDRAWAL (AN ACTUAL MEDICAL CONDITION WHERE YOU CRAVE SHINY HAIR AND DORKY JOKES) AND NOW WE GET BOTH OF THEM!!! IF RPF DOESN'T GET A KICK UP THE ASS AFTER THIS, I WILL LOSE ALL FAITH IN FANDOM.

[ras-elased.livejournal.com]

YOU AND ME BOTH, BB. SO MUCH EPIC FIC WILL COME OUT OF THIS. EPIC. FIC.

[dk323.livejournal.com]

OMG. Thanks for sharing the news about Bradley and Colin. That definitely has made my day. *grins* :D :D I heard that Bradley, in fact, did go to see Colin's play...hope that is really true. Oh boys...♥

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I really really hope so!!! It would make me so happy if he did. I'm sure he must have done, why else would he just randomly meet up with Colin after, right? RIGHT? ::stays hopeful::

[vensre.livejournal.com]

Nude Erections, you say? Like the choir in Glee (New Directions)?? :3 :3 I didn't see any manner of erections when I searched for them, but I did count more pictures of Merlin shirtless than Arthur shirtless, which surprised me quite a lot!

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Oh no!!! Are the erections gone?? That is very sad :( <--- my face.

Is there a choir in glee? I thought it was like High School Musical?? As you can tell, I haven't seen it.

Ooooh! So it's like a play on words then? The nude erections people?

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

They better be drinking in a London bar again in three weeks when I'm down there! >_<.

I know so many people (including myself...) who usually can't stand RPF but they all make an exception for Bradley and Colin :D

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I'm the same! I wouldn't even think of reading it for any other pairing. But somehow when it's them... I blame the fact that the epic 'bromance' is only HALF on screen, let's face it, the rest of it is entirely Bradley and Colin themselves :D :D

IF THEY ARE DRINKING IN A LONDON BAR IN THREE WEEKS, IT WOULD BE A SERVICE TO FANDOM FOR YOU TO TAKE SNEAKY STEALTH PICS.

Just saying ;)

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

I totally would :D That's what I have my Iphone for :D .. I wouldn't go and talk to them though. I have a bad record with celebrity sightings. I tend to freak out and hide somewhere .__.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I definitely think sneaky photos are the way to go :D I would hate to disturb them, AND I would probably be the same as you and say something ridiculous and/or swoon at their feet.

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

Yeah respecting their privacy is the other thing.

When I spotted a guy from a tv show which I loved in Auckland (when I lived there as an exchange students for 10 months) on the street, I ran and hid in a video store...and called my best friend in Germany and she was all like "what the fuck? it's 2am here and what am I supposed to do about it anyway?!" XD

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Awww. But I can imagine it would be hard to deal with that kind of excitement!! I would probably be calling everyone too.

I always think I would be a rubbish person to see someone famous. I would be so busy trying to not disturb them and act casual that I wouldn't manage to get an pics, sneaky or otherwise, and probably wouldn't even get many sneaky looks either :( I was saying to Winterstorrm the other day that the one time I saw a celebrity (Tony Head years ago) I didn't say a WORD. Just served him (I was working at the supermarket) and off he went. Most boring celebrity story ever!

[sighnomore.livejournal.com]

Oooh but Tony Head such an exciting celebrity sighting! :D I mean, Giles! :D But... yeah I would have done the same as you, really.

I was at a games convention a couple of years back with three guy friends of mine. I had this little celebrity crush on a presenter of a german games show on MTV and we just happened to run into him at this con. So one of my friends was like 'ooh let's tell him that you have a crush on him :D' ... which was when I ran straight for the ladies bathroom and I didn't come out for an hours lol. But I mustered up the courage to go and ask him for an autograph later... ALONE! :|

Oh and I once talked on the phone to the grandmother of Leonardo DiCaprio XD

[heehee11.livejournal.com]

Fun! Now I wished I lived in London ... haha!

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I would normally hate the thought of living in London, but just this once I would definitely make an exception :D :D

[blondielox.livejournal.com]

Ohhh this made revising for 3 hours straight so worth it when I came online last night.... I would have gone again last night, as well, if not for my lecturer planning a test that I've just had. Of all the things...!!! A test!! I mean, what even is that?? XD I made noises. Of delight. Possibly even more enthusiastic than after I met Colin the other night. And stayed up waaay too late so probably rendered all that revision moot. *smishes them*

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I have been distracted from the rest of your comment by the fact that YOU MET COLIN?!

Did you manage to see him at the stage door like you'd hoped??? What was he like?? ::is not jealous. Not at all. Nope::

(although if you had gone last night that would have been AMAZING. But I suppose tests ARE important. Sort of. Even though you might have witnessed their date night casual meet up).

I stayed up until nearly 2am last night, basically just squeeing. I was absolutely knackered this morning!

[blondielox.livejournal.com]

*nods frantically* I did!! Asked him to sign my program and another one for my friend as well. And he paused, and then was all 'Yeah, go on, then!' with a little nod of his head and a grin. I remained coherent!! \o/ He was lovely, but had to go so I let him leave... =)

Ah, well. I'm going to see Company on Wednesday, that shall have to do instead.
Rupert! Singing!! Rupert!!!

Ahahahaha I was up til 3, reading everyone else's comments and trying to wrench the tinhat off my head. Whoops??

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha I wasn't even aware I had a tin hat until last night. But apparently I do and it's stuck on REALLY TIGHT. The woman who first tweeted the news had no idea what she started :D It was nice to see fandom so happy about something, there's been so little news during the hiatus for Bradley and Colin together.

That sounds like a lovely meeting! And I bet that grin was adorable :) :)

Have fun at Company!! I haven't read much on that one, you'll have to tell me what it's like and how good a voice Rupert has. I have a big soft spot for Sir Leon <3

[xaritomene.livejournal.com]

ajdskf;sa cannot believe I missed this, but \0/ \0/ \0/ IT IS ALL OVER MY FLIST AND IT IS BEEEEEAUTIFUL. :DDD

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

ISN'T IT AMAZING?!!!!

It was like fandom exploded with squee last night :D :D It's like everyone was happy that Richard went to Colin's play, and that Bradley went to Sir Leon's, but secretly there was only one combination we were all waiting for ;)

[giecast.livejournal.com]

I know I am late to this party but THIS NEWS JUST MADE MY DAY!! My heart exploded with glee. This is my face right now =DDDDDDD

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

My face still looks like that! TWO DAYS LATER.

It was like the news half the fandom had been waiting for :D :D I wonder what Bradley thought of the play and Colin's epic crying???

[giecast.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I was having such a shitty day cos I've been sick for 2 days now. And then I come home to this and your comment fic and all is right in the world again. =D

It's a bit amusing how excited we all are, but there's been so little news relating to the both of them. Ok now I kinda want Bradley to do a blow-by-blow analysis of Colin's play.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear you've been sick :( ::sends healthy vibes your way:: I hope you're feeling better now!

I think everyone was starved for Bradley/Colin news!!! It was like fandom exploded with squee the other night, everyone seemed to be posting about it in capslock, it was brilliant :D

I like to think they at least discussed the play a little bit over their pints in the bar later, although ideally we need the Bradley Review, with photos of his ridiculous facial expressions throughout ;)

[giecast.livejournal.com]

Been running a fever the past 2 days, and looks like its gonna stretch out to 3. =(((

Ooh they probably did discuss the play and Bradley reviewed it in a lovingly mocking tone and Colin probably swatted him on the head. Haha. Ahaha the things we can come up with on such a short report.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Ugh :( That sounds horrible. Your fever I mean, not Bradley and Colin being dorks together, obviously.

I'm firmly believe entire fics will be written based on that one short report! It seems very bad luck that Bradley went to the play on the one night it was mostly devoid of fangirls :(

[giecast.livejournal.com]

It is horrible. So I really appreciate these pockets of awesome in my day. Thanks so much. *glomps you*

Bradley must have some sort if fangirl radar. The only thing that would make thos news even more awesome is if there pics. But alas!

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

I was very happy to hear it. I love that Bradley and Colin were just having a quiet chat in a bar! :D
