A Wild Discussion Post Appears!

Because I suppose we all need somewhere to squee.

Venting frustrations is what anon memes are made for, but keep it respectful.

You are allowed to talk about the show, the actors, their other projects, the twitter RP, the forum, and what you had for breakfast.

Slight Whiny Moment - Please Ignore Me

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

I fill so much random stuff and yet none of mine seems to be picked to play with.... *sigh*

*ponders*

Meh. One day someone'll fill... I hope.

Re: Slight Whiny Moment - Please Ignore Me

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Also, since we have amine around... is it not allowed to fill our own stuff? cause I'm a little tempted to...

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

NEARLY 3000 COMMENTS WOO!

That means it's nearly time for a new prompting post, right? How're we going to do that with the WIPs and the unwritten prompts? Will our lovely admin repost those to the new post? Or will we carry over our own WIPs?

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited!

Twitter RP

Now what? do we wait??? *so confused*

[verecunda.livejournal.com]

Right. I've finished bookmarking for the night. I'm away to bed.

Goodnight, awesome HH fandom! I love each and every one of you! <3

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

We love you too!

BEST. FANDOM. EVER!

We need a voluntary filler post or something...

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

just so that everyone gets stuff filled up.

2nd prompt post!

[(Anonymous)]

ridiculously pleased we've made it this far. This fandom is epic and seems to just keep growing more awesome every day. *hugs fandom*

Re: 2nd prompt post!

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

YES! Go fandom!

WHAT THE EVER LASTING EFF?

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Excuse me whilst I laugh at my prompt for the sheer cracky factor... What the hell? Also, whoever fills that gets instant cyber-cookies!!

Epic fic is epic... and so not anon

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Some of you know what I mean... it's re the SCD monster... and yes, I wrote it myself since the fluffy-smutty-cuteness would not let me alone at all. ^^;

Re: Epic fic is epic... and so not anon

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Semi-Final show for SCD does HH... erm... HH does SCD even. SO hyper.

Did anyone else notice

[twizzle-eeyore.livejournal.com]

in s2e8 the bust of 'Julius Caesar' they have for Crimewatch BC is actually a bust of Augustus? Or am I just being a classics geek? (Augustus is one of my favourite emperors after all, and his face is SO recognisable as his...and that's not even counting his hair! His hair is how it is always portrayed on Augustus and completely not JC...)

.... I'm reading too much into a 'kids' TV show, aren't I?

Re: Did anyone else notice

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

LOL yes, yes you are... but that's cool!

OMG LOL

[twizzle-eeyore.livejournal.com]

Just went on wikipedia to look up Hephaestion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestion) and found this written there:

Hephaestion (OR HEPH FOR SHORT..WELL THAT'S WHAT ALEX CALL'S ME AT ANY RATE) (Greek: Ἡφαιστίων, alternative spelling: "Hephaistion"; c. 356 BC – 324 BC), son of Amyntor, was a Macedonian nobleman and a general in the army of Alexander the Great. HE WAS A SKINNY MAN AND HAD AMAZING HAIR...HE OFTEN WENT BY THE NAME MATHEW BAYNTON JUST TO CONFUSE ALEX (WHICH WAS ENORMOUS FUN I MAY ADD) He was "... by far the dearest of all the king's friends; he had been brought up with Alexander and shared all his secrets."[1] This friendship lasted their whole lives, and was compared, by others as well as themselves, to that of Achilles and Patroclus.

HE IS MARRIED TO ZOE HUDSON, A CHRMING AND INCREDIBLY NICE YOUNG LADY FROM MELBOURNE. (SHE ALSO HAS FABULOUS HAIR.) THEY BOTH CURRENTLY RESIDE IN SKINNYMANDRIA WHERE IT IS NEVER COLD (BECAUSE ZOE DOESN'T LIKE COLD THAT MUCH) AND THEIR LIVES ARE GENEERALLY SPENT WATCHING HORRIBLE HISTORIES OR MUCKING AROUND ON TUMBLR...BOTH IMPORTANT CUSTOMS IN SKINNYMANDRIA.

I screencapped it incase it changes before people can see this...omg it made me lol so hard. HH has taken over wikipedia!

[twizzle-eeyore.livejournal.com]

okay, it's changed now, so I'm so glad I capped it!

[(Anonymous)]

do you ever reference something, or say something, related to HH when with people who don't watch it, then get really confused when no-one gets what you're talking about before you realise what you've done?

I was in a shop with my sister earlier and we walked past one of those TV advert podium things and I giggled, spun round to her and went "HI, I'M A SHOUTY MAN!" and she just looked at me really weirdly and told me to stop being a prat. I tried to show her HH once but she got bored (wtf idek).

Not quite as in context, when I was drunk a couple of weeks ago I started saying "vulture foot basket!" and "Hand eye-thingy owl!" randomly to my friends. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but no-one had a clue what I was on about. When I tried to explain they were hieroglyphics I just managed to confuse them more. "Vulture foot basket" has now kinda become an in-joke and I get it repeated back to me every so often now, which is quite fun... except none of them know where it's from as I couldn't convince them to watch HH.

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

LOL oh bless you. I had that earlier... Cactus gum related fail for me.

Bit of a random question here, but...

[(Anonymous)]

What historical period would you explode with glee if they covered?

I mean, from what I've read here and around the fandom the vast majority of people are History/Classics lovers (if not students/ex students/currently pursuing a career in those areas) so it'd make sense if there were certain historical events or people that'd cause gleesplosions if sketches appeared.

For me I'd pretty much explode if they did anything on Livia, or Matilda and Stephen and the train of bad ideas, or Eleanor of Aquitaine and her ability to kick ass everywhere she went, or Piers Gaveston and his absurdly annoying existance (...I like many people, yes.)

So, who is it for you?

(And feel free to flail over who you'd like to play them too. Fantasy is fun, after all! :DD)

Re: Bit of a random question here, but...

[amine-eyes.livejournal.com]

Ooooh Matilda and Stephen would be AWESOME :DDD

Personally, I think I would actually explode with joy if they covered the birth of flight in Britain (The guy went up with a pig called Icarus II because people told him he wouold only fly when pigs did! The pig later got turned into sausages! HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS YET xD), or the Battle of Britain - but if they covered that bit, I would be torn between glee and :O because I am ever so slightly obsessed with that period and have thus read pretty much everything I can get my hands on with that it :D

I really really want them to do the birth of flight in Britain now - would be AMAZING :D

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT :D

[amine-eyes.livejournal.com]

We haaaaaave ...

200 FICS ON THE MEME!!!!!!

YES YES YES!!

Archiving

[verecunda.livejournal.com]

Thought I should mention, just for anyone who's been watching the Delicious archive, you've probably noticed that archiving has sort of ground to a halt the last couple of days. That's because the system has been revamped since its move, and amine_eyes and myself are... not fans of the new site. We're hoping that Delicious can get its act together soon, but in case that doesn't happen, we're also trying out a possible alternative. Either way, hopefully we can get back up to speed over the next few days. Thought it was worth mentioning. Really sorry if it's been putting anyone out!

Re: Archiving

[http://users.livejournal.com/_afterism/]

I'm completely mystified by what's happened to delicious (is it even possible to see all the tags any more?! I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING D:) so no worries, I hope you find a good alternative! and thank you so much for all the work you've done so far, the archive was absolutely brilliant until delicious made it impossible to use ♥♥

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, there's a hypothetical question that I've had in my head for a while and I suppose here is a good a place as any to mention it.
Supposing, hypothetically, that any RPSed couple did actually hook up in real life, what would happen? Would the fan girls be thrilled or would it actually just take all the fun out of the ship?

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Personally? I'd explode.

Sothesby...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my, I am trying my hand on my first fic here and I just got stuck, what would Sothebys first name be? I can't recall hearing or reading anything and wikipedia thinks that he is a auctionhouse or born in the 18th century.
Can anyone give me a name for this guy, pretty, pretty please? :)

Re: Sothesby...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I'm pretty sure he's a fictional character made up for the purposes of the sketch, so you can probably give him any name you think fits.

And ooh, I think you might've inspired me to suggest a prompt based on this mystery...

Nero/Elagabalus - A bit more.

That does blow - hopefully it comes back soon :))

Rank insignia

[twizzle-eeyore.livejournal.com]

Okay, did a bit of googling today as I suddenly realised I didn't know what Blenkinsop and Maltravers' ranks are.

It appears Blenkinsop might be a major because of what he has on his sleeve - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British_officer_rank_ww1.png – he has 3 stripes and one thing, and a major has 3 stripes and one crown.

Looking like this also makes me think Simon’s character is a Second Lieutenant, and I have absolutely no idea what Maltravers is as I can’t see his sleeve well enough. It seemed to have one stripe but I couldn’t see if it had the rest of the Second Lieutenant stuff, so I’m going to assume Maltravers is probably the same as Simon’s character unless anyone knows more/can work out more than me?

Ben’s a Major General due to the insignia on his epaulette - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UK-Army-OF7.gif

...thought I'd post this here incase anyone else had been wondering, and in the hope there might be a nonny well versed in military uniforms who can tell us what Maltravers is...

Re: Rank insignia

[amine-eyes.livejournal.com]

Tbh, I always envisioned them as Lieutenants or Captains (very very new Captains though) just because they're so ridiculously young and adorable - erm, anyway, back on track.

Now that you mention it actually though, they would be higher up in that sketch, because they're talking about going to war (and then presumably tactics), and a Lieutenant and Captain (poss) wouldn't get invited to those conversations as they're too low down the ladder.

*bats away the plot bunny but it's too quick*

I shall get back to you on this!
