"Maybe in the future you'll think twice before painting your arm like a GIRL!"

So... last night I rewatched North & South in its entirety, which I haven't done for months, and man, I forgot how much I love that miniseries.  More importantly, I forgot how much Richard Armitage makes me swoon with the smallest quirk of an eyebrow.  Seriously, I could feel my insides melting every time he looked at Margaret with that pained, "I'm in love with her but she'd never have me" look.  And then I actually cried happy tears at the end when he's like this precious little boy, all innocent and happy looking (well... until he frenches Margaret in public.  That wasn't so innocent.  But that did other things to me).  But yeah, the fact that the man can still make me cry after seeing the same scene more than 20 times is a testament to how deeply he makes you feel for him.

Anyway, that kind of rekindled my passion for Richard, so tonight I decided to watch Robin Hood since I never actually finished series 1, and I got to the Tattoo episode, and OH MY GOD!  OMG!  I knew it was kinky from the picspams, but I didn't quite know HOW kinky it actually was.  You have no idea how huge of a smile I had on my face through the entire Guy-tied-up-in-the-woods scene.  It was pretty much foreplay between Guy and Robin.  And then their fist fight was the love scene, complete with romantic music.  If Robin was a woman, you know that would have been hate!sex instead of a fist fight.



Now that's the look of a man who enjoys being tied to a tree and getting the crap beat out of him.  And, come on, Guy's like... a foot taller than Robin.  There's no way Guy would be so easily beaten by a puny emo half-bearded freak in a hoodie.  He wanted to get tied up.  You know it.

( It all started with a tender look... )

That's exactly how it happened.  No lie.

Anyway, this entire episode was made of so much win.  I love the Sheriff so very, very much.  He gets all the greatest lines.  I love Guy/Marian a lot, but I think I'm even more fond of the Sheriff/Guy relationship (in a strictly platonic way, mind you.  I'm not quite sure what the Sheriff's kinks are.  I can't tell if he likes women or men, or both, or none.  He's a hard one to figure out).  But yeah, I'm baffled as to why it's taken me so long to get back to watching this show.  That's why I shouldn't read spoilers.  Once I read the spoiler about Marian, I suddenly lost my craving to watch the show.  But now I'm in a Richard Armitage mood, so... I predict I'll get through it by the end of the week.

I feel like I'm cheating on Damian.



Ahh, that's better.  Don't worry Damian, you're still my main man.  Richard's just a harmless flirtation... that's been going on for 3 years or so.
