When fandoms collide!

[emmagrant01]

So this happened today. And a couple of heretofore unrelated fandoms exploded in squee.

The comments on this post are made of awesome. And the gifs! OMG the gifs!

I thought my days of dressing up for a midnight movie release were over. Apparently not! But who to ship? How can we possibly decide???

Whoa, thanks for pointing this casting out! Sherlock as the Star Trek villain!? Awesome!

*flails like a flailing thing*

I don't even know who this guy is or anything, but the .gifs are indeed hilarious.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Sometimes the gifs tell you enough about the fandom to be able to read the fic, yanno? :-D

i dont watch sherlock but i have several friends who do and i flailed with them when we saw this!! dfjhsfkajfsds EEEEEEEEEEE!

[dracavia]

Same here, I've heard nothing but good things about the guy from my sister and others that watch Sherlock.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

He is a fairly amazing actor. And pretty damn yummy to boot.

Oh WHY do I not have 20 Benedict icons yet???

I'm dying of all the squee. DYING! ;_;

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

THIS GIF, I CAN'T EVEN.

There really are some awesome gifs from that series XD

[bibliokat.livejournal.com]

That one's *perfect*!

We just learned of this in our house. There is LOTS OF EXCITEMENT HAPPENING!!!!!

:-D :-D :-D

That is awesome. All I ask is that he continues to dye his hair dark, otherwise he looks too much like my husband & that ruins the fantasy.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

ROFL! Though if he seriously looks like your husband, good for you! :-D

BENEDICT? AS KHAN??? MY CUP RUNNETH OVER!!!!!!!!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

The commenters over on ontd_startrek are saying that he won't be Khan, but some new sort of villain that has never been seen before in the Star Trek universe. The speculative fic alone will be awesome!!

[longtimegone]

Oh, ontd_startrek. <3 I'm going to be looking through all those gifs on my lunch hour. :))

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Gif-a-palooza going on over there!

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

this news is sort of making my head spin! worlds colliding indeed.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I know, right? This is going to be amazing!

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

I saw this yesterday on ONTD, but I didn't realize there would be a proper party post in ontd_startrek :D :D :D

I screamed out loud when I saw this news. I guess I need to see the first Star Trek film then :D

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I would have screamed out loud, but it was the middle of the night and that probably wouldn't have been a good idea. ;-) But still, OMG!!!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

:-D :-D :-D

Unrelated: did you get my email about slashcast?

[mijan.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't. That's odd. What's up with Slashcast?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

What's a good email address for you? I'll resend. :-D

[dixiebell12.livejournal.com]

OMG! OMG! *squees*

Hugs,

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING SOMETHING TO DISTRACT ME WITH!!!

[ixchelmala.livejournal.com]

No, seriously, I'm not on the Sherlock fen but it sounds like I should be.... but I'm more excited that production on Star Trek 2 is starting!
