#kw askbox

Also do you predict a whumped eardrum for William after he was that close to the cannon in the trailer?

Oh, we might get a busted eardrum...

But I'm crossing my fingers for some serious battlefield injuries and maybe even some Civil War era (read: really, really BAD) field first aid...

Like, my understanding of Civil War field dressing is basically... Like, if a convention of whumpers happened to find themselves in the middle of their favorite whumpee's whumping. Like, "Wow. That's... Wow. That looks painful. That's a real shame. I'm gonna... Here, let me help you..." *throws grass on them*

Like, efforts were made... but not really.

Mind you, the Captain Colin's playing this time around didn't die in the war. He survived and fathered like a gazillion children and died in his 80s. So I don't think Colin's gonna die in this one. (WHAAAAT??) But maybe they could, like, throw some shrapnel his way or something. At the very least, he ought to be dirty and sweaty and battle-worn at some point, and that will be glorious.

As for the "stupid beard"... Well, we debated this a lot when he had the beard, and IIRC, the common consensus was that the "stupid beard" was not AT ALL stupid and actually looked quite good on him.

Actually, I think the consensus was "It's admittedly very unfashionable, yes, but also bloody FANTASTIC."

Like, it's not for the streets, but it's great for the sheets.

THANK YOU!

I do accept wet Colin gifs as payment in lieu of shower gifs, especially when they also contain a goofy grin and a dual thumbs up! This is, truly, one of the finest gifs in existence.

So yes, I will certainly accept this reward for my good behavior!

NAY, I say! NAY!!!

He's merely pulling a face in that photo op, NOT truly winking!!!

For one thing, closing one eye (and only one) is easier with your mouth open. I'm not sure why that is, but it seems true to me, so I'm going to act like it's a scientific fact, and there's nothing you can do about it, because I already typed it into the post, and you can't change what I'm posting here, so it's true now.

Anyway, try it yourself ~ it feels easier, doesn't it?

But most importantly, that is a POSE, while a wink is a GESTURE. He has a minute to put his face in the proper position, then just needs to hold it for the photo. With a gesture, you have to be able to execute the proper movements from start to finish. THIS PHOTO DOES NOT PROVE HE IS CAPABLE OF PROPERLY DOING THIS!!!

No, but seriously, I just like teasing him. I think he winks just fine. It's cute when his other eye closes, too... and it doesn't always happen, anyway. Look at this nice wink:

I mean, yeah, the other eye thinks about closing, but it doesn't. But also notice how his mouth moves there... See, I think I'm onto something here about the mouth's role in the winking phenomenon... I might be a genius or a scientist or maybe both.

Anyway, bottom line, I can't believe you would come into MY askbox and insinuate that I can't tease Colin about something, because I live to tease that man. It's how I show my love 😭

Oh my goodness, I don't know when this is from, because Tumblr never told me about it T_T

Thank you, dear! You're so very sweet!!
