Benedicttimothee - Rache

Is crying about fictional characters a hobby?

sherlock “i’m a cold, logical machine who abhors expressing the softer emotions, but while you’re here, watson, watch me blush when complimented, fall into a reverie at violin concerts, pluck up a rose and wax poetic about it, spend my leisure time looking after bees, laugh loudly at the things which delight me, read love poems as we sit on the train together, and help me let lovers go free because that matters more than the law” holmes

TST Screening

All these quotes:

I adore [Martin]. Well, he’s quite grumpy, but he’s adorable as well – he’s direct and nice and great fun to be with even when he’s being grumpy because then it’s just fun to wind him up!

[Benedict] has definitely brought something else, like you said, it’s over a century old that part and there have been so many incarnations of it but Benedict, yeah, he’s… he has something special about his incarnation without question, yeah.

[Martin]’s just one of the sharpest men I’ve ever met. It can be at his own expense or someone else’s, it’s always done with a view to make the working day a little bit happier 

I: Who do you look up to in the industry?

Martin’s very funny, so there’s a lot of space for Martin, but he does it very tactfully, he won’t do it when there’s a big moment for someone else, but I mean he is one of the funniest men you’ll ever meet, so that happens.

…I was very anxious about [the big scene] after lunch, very anxious, and actually Ben was very good. He took me aside, and calmed me down. He just said, you know, “Take a deep breath,” sort of thing. So, I did and sort of allowed the scene to come back.

“Sugarnut“

I applaud Jack, he gave it a good go. At least he’s a similar physical type to Benedict: tall, good-looking and mysterious.

If you’re beautiful and a hunk and you’ve got great cheekbones you can probably get away with two dimensions.

I turned to them and said: “It’s gotta be [Martin]. He raises my game.

Wanda: Ben adores Martin as a person as well as an actor.

I suppose my first memory would be the audition process. I came in on my own, didn’t do very well, and then I came and read with Ben *sigh* and it went much better.

I think I can speak for Martin as well…

Because, ultimately, [Ben’s] the thing that it can’t go on without.

Occasionally I would look at Ben and then look at myself in the mirror, and go Thank God we’re finally playing Holmes and Watson instead of John and Sherlock.

But [the fight scene] was quite good fun because it was contained you know, it was just Ben and I. We sort of, we knew what we were doing.

Bonus:  

SDCC

Mark and Steven have just excelled themselves and that’s what keeps Martin and I coming back for more.

You know, both Martin and I have been lucky enough to work on sort of big budget Hollywood films

Well, I am in the back of a car with Martin and that’s pretty much it.

[Martin]’s working. he’s actually doing the show. he is, he is the only one of us that’s actually working right now.

It’s pretty cool and you know we work very hard and I adore [Martin] and he’s one of the funniest man on the planet, he’s so fast, we both really really love the show so it’s always fun getting the band back together and we have a really good time doing it and this series has been no exception… we always have this moment together where we read the script and ring each other… we have the moment, that communal moment between shooting and we’re going “Oh my God, this is so exciting“ we’re so lucky to be doing this. We have a lot of fun. We have a lot of fun.

EW Morning Live Interview

I think Ben and I… everyone involved in the show is acutely aware of how well written it is and how well produced it is… you know, when you have a show that’s well written, well shot, well scored, you know and you are lucky enough to have chemistry with the person that’s pretty cool.

Thank God we’re all busy, you know, Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss are busy, me and Ben are busy…

Me and Ben were sat down separately and they talked us through the Abominable Bride…

Martin smiling like this at the mention of Ben’s name:

Bonus: “That’s only cause he carries a picture around with him. He’s always doing that.“

The Sherlock manip masterpost

To start off, I will say this again:

I am not starting a witch-hunt and I am not saying making manips is bad. But, this is a masterpost of the manips that continually fool fans; they think these are real photographs and they are not. This is a masterpost for BBC Sherlock and the primarily the main cast involved with the show.

Sometimes people are fooled into thinking these manips are real and this happens because people post manips they haven’t made and don’t label them as such. Other times they were made simply to fool. *shrugs*

I’ll keep adding to this. Please, feel free to reblog and reference this as much as you want. If you know the original source of the manip or if the manip is yours (and you can prove it) and want it taken off this post, please inform me and I’ll make a text link to the original post of your manip.

I decided to make this post because I didn’t appreciate not knowing which photos are real…and just as much I didn’t like how other people were being fooled. It has resulted in fans beign accused of photoshopping themselves into these photos with the actors when the exact opposite is true!

******

Thank you to sherlockstuff for pointing this out, because for the life of me, I could not remember where I had seen this photo before!

MANIP POST

Even when I reblogged this I knew I had seen it somewhere. The original photo is from either a news article (I can’t remember~) or a tweet, but I’m pretty sure its from an article. I recall the owners of the place commenting on the large amount of breakfast plates they had to serve to Martin Freeman for the multiple takes in some of the last shots of Hounds of Baskerville. Here’s the original photo:

(MANIP POST)

This is not Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. I’ve seen this manip getting reposted by other people recently. And this is the original photograph:

(A POST WITH THE ORIGINAL)

It’s actually a photograph of Jude Law and Ewan McGregor.

******

On this one, I had a VERY difficult time finding the original photographs, and even then, it’s a cropped image. But you’ll get the idea.

This is the combination of two photographs that had a little girl getting her picture taken with Benedict and Martin. Her dad was taking these pictures which were originally on yfrog (which apparently aren’t working anymore). I’m not sure if this is his twitter, but better res versions of them were found linked below:

I would provide links to the posts for the manip, but it is all over the web so that point is moot. Many thanks to ithinkyoureoverthinkingit for hunting down the source!

(It’s not the original post, but you can find it here)

Benedict is actually not in that photograph. Amanda Abbington is in the original photograph.

(FOUND AT FREEMAN FANS LIVEJOURNAL)

And here is the original of Benedict.

Okay to start out, itsacrimescene makes many Sherlock manips, but they never fail to watermark them. They’re always watermarked. So these are easy to figure out. Here’s the two I see surface the most because people steal them from itsacrimescene’s tumblr and reposts them:

ORIGINAL POST OF MANIP (I don’t know the original photo sources. You’d have to ask itsacrimescene). :D

*******

THE MANIP (see the watermark there?) THE ORIGINAL MANIP POST

THE ORIGINAL (This is resized smaller; I’m pretty sure the original is from a tweet from Mark Gatiss)

There’s a lot more from itsacrimescene, but they have EVERY RIGHT to post manips and have watermarked them accordingly. So please…stop stealing the manips and claiming they are legitimate photographs.

*******

I have no idea where this manip came from. Feel free to inform me and I’ll credit accordingly.

The original photo. I found it HERE. As stated on the mentioned post, this is probably a photograph by Manuel Harlan. It’s from the theatre production of “Design for Living” which featured Andrew Scott, Tom Burke (pictured) and also Lisa Dillon.

*******

This is probably the most recent manip that has been fooling everyone.

I do not know where this manip originated from. But I will tell you this: although that IS Benedict Cumbatch on the right, that is NOT Martin Freeman on the left. That is his head photoshopped onto the body of Jonny Lee Miller.

THE ORIGINAL

This was a promotional photo for the theatre production of Frankenstein that Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller starred in. Many of you are newly acquainted with Jonny Lee Miller since he’ll be staring in CBS’ Elementary. He’s also been a guest star in Dexter.

******

Many thanks to wastingyourgum for the notice about this one!

MANIP FOUND HERE (the tags say they found it on Google, so who knows where it came from).

That IS Matt Smith. But Benedict Cumberbatch picture on the left…that’s just his head photoshopped onto Russell Tovey’s body.

ORIGINAL POST OF THIS IMAGE ON A PICSPAM

Below are several new manips collected and posted on this post as reblogs by Geny (dudeufugly)! Many heartfelt thanks for Geny’s efforts! Geny was okay with me reformatting and editing the posts, so this is the end result.

Johnlock Ship Health Check July 2020

Hey all. I did this once a few years ago but I’m doing it again–checking to see if people are still actively shipping my #1 OTP. Please like/reblog if you are!

(Art by the dearly departed @br0-harry)

Johnlock Forever

Interviewer: Have you seen or talked to Benedict recently?

Martin: (reaction in gif and thinking): And not just with clothes on….

remember when Sherlock said to John “everyone has secrets, and they all replied too quickly”

well remember the first day John met Sherlock and asked if he had a boyfriend and Sherlock replied with “no” in less than 1 millisecond

WE ALL GO DOWN WITH SHIP

If you ship Johnlock like a boss, reblog this.

I want to follow all of the fucking Johnlock shippers. ALL OF THEM.

What?
