Richard Armitage Legenda 99: Stuff worth reading

[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

If you liked the work of bloggers featured here, do this please — at their sites!

Note that some tumblr links are interspersed throughout the categories this week, but if I’ve put a tumblr link outside of the tumblr section, I believe that that link itself is safe for work. No guarantees if you click around the site, however.

Your reactions to Richard Armitage’s latest reading recommendation?

This is my candidate for best reaction to the news, although it preceded the information, so they’re totally unrelated. It’s not a reaction. Funny nonetheless.

• This probably comes close to my original rational reaction. Yeah, I have that fantasy, too, unpopular as it turned out to be.
• BrokenHeirloom.
• And Armitage apologizes.

More beautiful hair from LA. Ah.

Richard Hermitage tweet of the week

[Instead of “Richard Armitage,” my mother says “Richard Hermitage,” like the museum. JAJAJAJAJA!

***

[Servetus loves this because “Armitage” is derived from the same word as “Hermitage.”]

Richard Armitage-related fanfic

• Obscura reflects on the research necessary for her Porter fanfic, “Recovery.”
• My Story Blog covets your story recommendations.
• At Something about Love (A): “Thorin’s Dream of Love” goes to ch. 2. and ch. 3. (Tolkien AU / Romance).
• At wattpad: The Arkenstone’s “Rubbing Me the Wrong Way,” part 3. Further humorous / flirty adventures of Thorin / Lady 0akenshield.
• At wattpad: MorrighansMuse’s “A Willing Heart,” goes to ch. 18. (Tolkien AU / romance).
• At A03: RAllatrix’s “Jeans.” (RPF / Armitage + OFC / mature.) A female friend with benefits thrifts Armitage button-fly jeans.
• At A03: sentientblueberry’s “Stupid Shit.” (RPF / Armitage + reader / mature.) Armitage in bed with a fan.
• At triple-r-porn: “Richard Fantasy #8: Thorin / Reader.” (Thorin + OFC / mature.) His unwilling fiancée catches Thorin bathing. With illustrations.
• OT fanfic recommendation: deadonarrival and a_bit_not_good_yeah’s “Professor AU (Graduation Day Universe” stories at Sometimes I Just Think Funny Things. (RPF / slash / O’Gorman + Turner). Perfect combination of fluff, angst, and sex for the Aidean fangirl (and for me).
• And a little more Aidean, while I’m at it: at A03, blue_butterfly’s “At the end of the rainbow.” I’m waiting for every chapter of this with anticipation. Potentially very triggering for victims of sexual harassment — DO NOT IGNORE DISCLAIMERS, THIS IS BRUTAL — but I find it cathartic to read, and so well written.

Popular search string this week, but will it last?

Armitageworld needs some love

• Swooning Maruca. Hills and valleys of faith.
• The Armitage Effect. Body isn’t keeping up.
• The Squeee. It’s that time of year again: autumn.
• TheArkenstone. A dear aunt is missed.

I thought it was vodka

OT, collateral attractions and things I think about

• Didion recommends a film she hated.
• Not that I’m short of soup recipes at the moment, but this sounded tasty.
• Jed Brophy’s candidate for best elf.
• Why academics shouldn’t spend their holidays working.
• Charlie Hunnam, slated to play Christian Grey in 50 Shades, given extra security to protect him from fans angry about his casting.
• Why open plan bathrooms suck.
• Informed views on calculating Durin’s Day.
• Reminders of the work of John Bellairs, one of my favorite novelists as a child.
• Demographics of the major social media networks — does this data really surprise anyone?
• When is it okay for British actors to do U.S. accents?
• Lincoln fanboys pick through Gettysburg pictures looking for that stovepipe hat. Yes, you can get paid for this.
• IBC concedes a point that I was making in the leadup to the TH: AUJ premiere — audience members were left without guidance about film formats, etc. They won’t make the same mistake again.
• Business perspective on Richard Armitage’s choice of Converse.
