impala_chickI'm having an emotional day, and it's definitely because I just finished episode 2.08 of Looking. My OTP Kevin and Patrick got back together! And they are currently happy and having great sex! I am SHOOK. There are still two more episodes left, so I'm on pins and needles waiting for something bad to happen...
Thanks tosingedsun for introducing me to Angel of the Get Through. I read the words and I loved the poem, but listening to it spoken put it on a whole new level. The words feel so appropriate for how I feel about the pandemic.
I got to participate in Bradley James' trivia night, a benefit for Redemption Paws. All the knights showed up on zoom with the exception of Lancelot. Kat McNamara also made a surprise appearance to announce the total dollar amount raised and at first I was like OMG I know her!! But I also thought it was a little weird. How did this charity get so many celebrity endorsements?
At any rate, Bradley seemed so genuine and fun while he was talking to different fans through zoom. Adetomiwa Edun kept changing his zoom background to make it Merlin themed, and Rupert Young, Bradley, and Eoin Macken changed outfits several times without saying anything about it, which was pretty funny. Eoin seemed drunk? and they all made fun of him for not speaking clearly enough: apparently he was told to speak more clearly a lot on set. He definitely ran with that when he was reading trivia questions. Tom Hopper's wife made an appearance to say hi, and he was teasing her for being intoxicated on her own zoom call with friends. She kissed him all off kilter and it was really cute. Tom Hopper also made a joke about Bradley getting out of the closet, and they all laughed and said only Brits would get it. So someone care to explain?
As for the trivia, there were some obvious questions and some tough ones. I got 19 out of 26 correct. The winner only missed one! He was a dude with a Dutch name who got to appear on Zoom, but he seemed very shy. I learned that Bradley's go to song to get amped up before fight scenes was Run Boy Run, Adetomiwa Edun loved working with his horse on set (the actors called him a horse whisperer), Rupert had a weird incident where he fell off a horse but they didn't want to talk about it, there was a guy that had to get stitches before they switched to rubber swords, and Eoin Macken thinks Kat McNamara is hot.
Bradley didn't bring up Colin at all, but there were a few Merlin focused questions. At the beginning, Bradley congratulated Rupert for his nomination, and Rupert was like "And Colin too!" and Bradley was like "yeah...". Of course I'm over here like, oooo drama.
Conclusion: glad to see that these blokes are all still friends and have fond memories of shooting Merlin. It was all really fun and light hearted, which was a great set up to my day.
