I did notice he’s a lot more serious this season, but I disagree on the “less sexy” part. He gets hotter and hotter every time I see him. But that’s just my opinion.

I do hope that we see more of the sparkle in 2b though (like he had in season 1 when he was being all flirty with Alec). It certainly is my favourite aspect of Magnus. I would love for that to be amped up a bit, for sure.

I’m going to try to create the most comprehensive resource I possibly can.

There will definitely be a discussion of the techniques used across multiple character’s costumes. For example, most of the Night’s Watch and Wildlings’ costumes are treated with wax to mimic ice/snow damage, and as soon as I figure out how that works myself, or find a reliable source telling me how this technique works I will make a post about it.

Some of the things I have already text/image how-to’s of are: how Daenary’s dragonscale fabric is made, a general overview of how the got embroiders create their embroideries, and how to sand wash silk at home (a technique used to create Ellaria Sand’s clothing).

Also, I will try to include any knowledge I have on why a certain character dresses in a certain way (why northerners (almost) all wear the high necked smock under their clothing, why Cersei often sports bird motifs, etc). However, I will only offer interpretations that I can back up with sources.

If you want to check out my first post, which is on the dragonscale textile the GOT embroiderers created for Daenarys, go here.

The blog only has one post so far, but if anybody wants to check it out, it is gameofreferences.

Does it have to be Mystrade because I found a Johncroft fic I read a while ago where Mycroft was wearing glasses. http://blue-eyed-1987.livejournal.com/3149.html

Any glasses!croft for me, thank you! I can't wait to read it! :)

Ok, so now there NEEDS to be a Mystrade Fic in which Greg comes home to find Mycroft still working in his study, his reading glasses perched on his nose while leafing through important papers, a frown on his face, his lower lip sticking out in a slight pout. Naturally, Greg finds this adorable, so hijinks ensue …

Greet your fellow Tumblrites in your native tongue/local dialect! Tach!

What is your earliest memory? Falling over in the garden, hurting both my knees and then sitting on my grandpa's lap and being comforted by him.

What’s your favorite season? Spring

What are you currently reading? (Is it good?) Um, The Vesuvius Club, again. It's brilliant!

What’s your favorite movie of all time? Don't ask me that there are too many!! Right now it feels like Maurice. Ask me again tomorrow. ;)

Sex or chocolate? Both, at the same time.

The newest gadgets or the old-fashioned way? Always the old-fashioned way. I got my first smart phone last year only because my old phone broke.

3 years in prison - which three items would you take with you? Hm since you don't say if you have to have those items beforehand, would the complete Doctor Who DVD Box be one item? Because that would be nice. Then the Complete Sherlock Holmes because I haven't read all stories yet. And the notebook where I write my current story so I can write on. That should keep me entertained.

Drawing, writing, rearranging the furniture - what’s your creative outlet? Writing!

Which fictional universe would you choose to spend your holidays in? Middle Earth, the Shire.

Football (soccer) world cup! Do you watch? Which team do you back? I usually follow the world cup but since my real life is horribly busy at the moment, I haven't seen a game this time. I'm always supporting our German boys. 

Das Siezen ist ja schon furchtbar genug. Hätte noch nie echte Freunde oder auch nur WG-Mitbewohner gehört, die sich siezen. Aber “erhört” schlägt ja nun dem Fass den Boden aus. Sind wir jetzt in der mittelalterlichen Hofkultur oder was?

For those of you who don’t speak German: Imagine Sherlock and John calling each other Mr. Holmes and Mr. Watson, and Sherlock answering John’s “I asked you not to be dead” with “I answered your prayer” instead of “I heard you.” That’s how bad it is.

Ah thanks, thought about how to translate it best all morning! :D
