Just Tom being as adorable as ever.
I love how amazingly separate he manages to make Loki. It’s like watching Heath Ledger disappear into The Joker, but with less makeup. I really love when actors can do that, I think it takes a certain amount of awareness that doesn’t come easily/to everyone.

Analyzing Mycroft in A Scandal in Belgravia:
I have spent way too much time looking at these screencaps, but I think Mark Gatiss is brilliant, so yeah.
1. Right after Mycroft knows his plans have failed. The shock is just written on his face. He can’t believe all the work has just come to nothing.
2. He realizes the terrorists found out through Irene and Sherlock, and he is upset with himself. He led Sherlock down this path.
3. Now, he is angry at Sherlock. How could his little brother do this? He trusted him, gave him what he needed: a distraction, cases. He is feeling betrayal.
4. This may be my favorite. Actually, it was this face that made me start looking at these moments. Mycroft is terrified. Just like that little break in Sherlock’s voice, when John is threatened, this is Mycroft showing he cares. In spite of everything, he loves his little brother. He doesn’t want to have to tell his bosses that Sherlock is the leak, but he is afraid he will have to, afraid Sherlock will be hurt in the process.
5. When all is said and done, Mycroft can’t do anything, and he is exhausted.
In like five seconds, Mycroft runs through the entire gambit of human emotions. I am obsessed. I could write sonnets about these five seconds.
I love subtlety-appreciation like this because there are so many shows (and fans, tbh) that ignore the importance of subtle characterization.
(That being said: “the entire gambit of human emotions”… I thought it was “gamut”? Or have I been saying this wrong my entire life? Anyone know?)

So I went out with two guys from my undergrad who were within my social circle (LOL BAND!) but were more acquaintances than close friends. I blame my own social awkwardness, BUT I mean they took me out to dinner and wanted to hang out while they were in town on vacation and the…
Kaylee swears too :D! And who says you have to act when you dress up for Halloween? Unless that’s just your thing, idk. But it should be fun to “act” ditzy, you know? Channel your inner Kaylee.
True! I don’t really act, per-se, but I do kind of channel the character in my head even if I’m just chilling. When I dressed up as the Dark Knight Joker I learned a whole monologue (from the hospital scene). The costume was enough to weird everyone out and I never really got to be creepy at all :(
