I absolutely had to see Sherlock and John walking through the streets of an Umbrian village with my own eyes after reading this perfect fic by Berty @bertytravelsfar . Not having time for a drawing, I made a quick photomontage. The photo used is not mine but by F.Gariazzo, you can see it and other photos of the village of Corciano at this link (it seems the perfect place for this story).

Please, give yourself a gift and go read this fic immediately.

And I want to add a moodboard, with Corciano, a Raffaello's paint of S Caterina that could be the one in the story, and their menu of tagliere di affettati, and a Bacio in all its chocolate glory.

'Andrew Scott doesn’t always play the kindest characters on-screen – he’s known for villainous roles such as Moriarty in Sherlock and Max Denbigh in Spectre – but that really couldn’t be further from real life.

The actor is generous with his time and his thoughts, despite calling from Italy where he’s currently working 12 hour days shooting a new project.

Scott, 45, says he considers mental health similar to the weather. "The weather is a changeable thing," he says. "If you’re in the driving rain, there’s no point in screaming up at the sky saying, ‘Please stop raining, please stop raining’. The best thing you can do is just accept it’s raining, and know that it will stop."

For the Dublin-born star, a huge factor in the male mental health crisis is society’s perceived expectations of men, to be ‘manly’ and have a stiff upper lip. "I think it’s to do with vulnerability," he muses. "Expressing vulnerability is something that’s considered in some way a ‘feminine’ trait – but I think vulnerability is a brilliant trait in a person."

"There’s a real stigma about how we approach mental illness," Scott continues. "Not one of us would say, ‘I’ve never been physically ill’ – and in exactly the same way, it seems preposterous to me that we would say we’ve never had any mental illness.

"I think we associate mental health with having to check into somewhere or having to take medication, or being diagnosed with something. But I think we have to understand it’s on a spectrum. The difference between where we land on that spectrum has to do with communication."

Particularly as a result of the pandemic and what we’ve all been through during recent times, Scott argues now is "a good time to start talking", as most of us have experienced – to some extent – emotions we might "have never felt before", including a "lack of control and fear".

Scott likes to talk about mental health with "a certain degree of lightness", he says. "There’s a duality that exists… It sounds odd for me to say that, but as long as you can be light about your darkness, I think you’re [going to be] alright."

He admits it sounds "counterintuitive", but we need to have "a sense of humour about the fact we’re all a little bit f***** up in some way. And saying, that’s OK. Nobody said it was going to be easy all the time."

Warming to his theme, Scott continues: "It’s why sometimes funerals can be more enjoyable than weddings, because at a wedding sometimes people have this dreaded feeling of, you have to be happy, and it’s so comparative. We live in such an age of comparison with social media, and sometimes at a funeral – you don’t go up to somebody and go, ‘Oh my God, you look terrible’, if they’ve got mascara running down their face, because you’re not worrying. So people are going, ‘Here I am, I am a mess. It’s OK for me to cry’. And sometimes that’s when we feel incredibly bonded."

Scott says laughter is key to maintaining his own mental health. "I try and laugh every day," he says passionately. "It’s such a human attribute – the animals, as much as I love them, they don’t laugh as much as we do. Sometimes I think we can measure someone’s humanity almost by how much they laugh every day and how much they’re able to appreciate laughing.

"[Sometimes you have to say] this is all ridiculous, this doesn’t end well for any of us – we’re all going to die. So in a way, you’ve got to laugh as much as you can – that’s my attitude certainly, as I move through life."

Scott says exercise is also central to his mental wellbeing ("without a shadow of a doubt"). Despite a gruelling schedule filming in Italy when all he might want to do is sit down at the end of a long day and eat pasta, he says: "I genuinely believe it’s an essential thing. With exercise, people think, ‘Oh my God, I have to be really fit or join a gym’, but there’s nothing I like more than going for a walk with somebody."

Walks might feel "very 2020", but "there’s something very beautiful about going for a walk with someone, because you can talk about things but you’re not facing each other," says Scott. That’s why he’s supporting the HUMEN charity’s Rise Against Suicide Sunrise Walk, which aims to ‘inspire more men to get active and talk’.

There’s another reason Scott likes a simple walk. "I love a non-event," he says. "I like the day after a wedding or getting accidentally drunk on a Tuesday afternoon with your friends. Sometimes you can have really meaningful conversations just going for a walk – or hysterical conversations. Life happens in the in-between, because there’s no pressure."'

Does Henry have a voice claim?

Or Daniel?? Or Miller?? OR ANY OF YOUR BLORBOS?👀

I have never had a voice claim really for anyone, I know generally what their accents are and I can hear their voices in my head, if that makes sense? But I can't REALLY think of anyone's voice in particular that I would listen to and go "oh this is DEFINITELY them".

Their accents across the board, save for Melanie, are varieties of european and those general areas, mostly British/English with Irish mixing in from the more rustic/rural folks, Scottish is definitely in there. I don't know the regional accents of England/Wales/etc, I am sorry. I know I could be trying to narrow shit down York/Cockney/London/so on but I have no idea what any of those sound like specifically.

Members of the Royal family (the Duke included) have a strangely almost Spanish accent? Possibly Italian? But the accent itself has been warped to trend KIND OF more toward English, still keeping some of their speech patterns/accent of Spanish/Italian kind of deal just enough to really stand out from that crowd.

Lionus has a really unique accent that's a very strong and chipper mix of Irish/Scottish blended to SOUND like a British accent of some variety. When asked about it, he tends to just shrug it off as a product of being moved around a lot when he was younger and leaves it at that.

So yes! That's about all there is to the accents and voice claims. There definitely aren't some ideas I vaguely tossed around pre-coffee this morning that I got semi dragged for under the cut.

Thank you so much for the ask! <3

So like

I threw out these ideas to my future spouse, bless their fun-print-designed socks

and immediately got back the response of "love that I can tell exactly what kind of UK media you've consumed" so

Read me as you will I guess, just be kind to me.

DISCLAIMER: These are just vague ideas of people who sound similar/have played roles/delivered lines in a way I thought was close!!

Henry - Simon Pegg Miller - Nick Frost Peter - Martin Freeman (specifically from his portrayal as Bilbo) Daniel - Benedict Cumberbatch (a more flat, moping kind of Benedict??? Though for real now that I'm thinking about it, like a younger-sounding Alan Rickman?)

so yeah judge me as you will on this but it's the best I got, my ass doesn't watch anything and I don't know voice actors very well.

#asks and answers #g/t writing #g/t author #gtauthor #author thoughts #The Stranding #The Rescue #The Cornetto Trilogy is amazing actually and those lads are fantastic #Yes I watched Sherlock and yes I went from 'oh hey this is good!' to 'what the fuck has it always been this bad' somewhere around late S3 #I was young and foolish and hopeful ok #Fun bonus secret: When Jones starts speaking in uh... 'proper manners' around nobility he gets a bit of that Spain/Italy accent on the edge

A Roundup of the Kate Conspiracy Theories from Twitter

So you don't have to go down the rabbit hole. Some of them are dark; I'll put those at the end below the cut so anyone who wants to scroll away can scroll away.

(My favorites in bold)

She had a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift).

She's Banksy.

Botched cosmetic procedure, needed urgent fixing.

William cheated with Rose again and she left him, taking the kids with her.

Hysterectomy + tummy tuck = botched.

Bad haircut/dye job.

Kept a pregnancy secret, delivered by c-section.

Diana's revenge

William lost his temper and beat her so badly that they're keeping her hidden till the bruises/broken bones are healed.

William kicked her out because he doesn't want her to be Queen.

Divorce of the Wales Part Two because William cheated

Bottom surgery

Kate grew a conscience so they had to kill her and are now replacing her brain with AI.

Shelly Miscavige'd

She abandoned and fled to a tropical beach.

She quit the royal family and is touring Britain in a converted transit van, selling dreamcatchers made from her own hair on Etsy to make ends meet.

Kate donated a kidney to Charles in return for becoming Queen soon.

Boob job

She went through a cosmic wormhole and left the Milky Way Galaxy.

Female 007

She's the one with cancer, Charles is faking it so everyone leaves her alone.

Took the kids and moved to Scotland

Growing out bad bangs

Meghan's karmic revenge

They're building a robot clone of her so she doesn't have to work anymore.

Trying to reach the end of YouTube shorts

Coma from botched surgery

The press knows but are under a gag order/injunction and can't report

She was never in the hospital.

William threw something at her, it hit her in the face, needs corrective surgery

Complications from pregnancy and on bed rest

Cholecystectomy/gall bladder surgery

Spontaneously combusted

Tragic accident a la Diana, better cover-up this time.

Charles actually died, it's just an actor walking around until the Waleses are ready to take the throne officially.

Botched BBL using her own stomach fat.

Rehab for alcoholism

Being reprogrammed to accept mistresses

She's playing Celebrity Big Brother

IVF transfer and first trimester HG recovery

Banished/handled by Camilla

Facelift

Bad botox/filler, waiting for it to dissolve

Put out to pasture by the royal family because she's finished having children.

Abducted by aliens

William didn't want to start his reign married to someone he hated, so he left her and is forcing a divorce.

She ran away to Italy

Argument over where George would go to school, William made it physical, she tried to leave

She's in the Princess Protection Program

At Chili's chugging margaritas

Binged too much at Christmas, now trying to lose weight

She wandered off during the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience and is stuck to the ceiling after drinking the fizzy lifting drink and they can't get her down.

Smuggled to America

Mental breakdown from William's cheating

Inpatient treatment for eating disorder

Complicated miscarriage

CPTSD breakdown (complex post-traumatic stress)

All the people that Twitter suggested we need to call to investigate Kate's whereabouts:

Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch edition)

Scully and Mulder (X Files)

Captain Olivia Benson (L&O:SVU)

Charlie from It's Always Sunny

Nanny Jo Frost

Steve and Blue (Blue's Clues)

Sergent Catherine Cawood (Happy Valley)

Rustin Chole (Matthew McConaughey from True Detective)

Harriet the Spy

Luther (Idris Elba edition)

Trevor Rainbolt

Jaz Singh (British Traitors edition)

One final reminder: The really dark theories about Kate are below the cut here.

William went into a drunk alcoholic rage and killed her.

Staph infection/sepsis from the trampoline injury that caused paralysis/amputation

Family annihilation by William

Severely injured in shooting accident at Sandringham shortly after Christmas when an ambulance was rushed to hospital from the royal estate.

Suicide attempt and mental health treatment

William beat her into a coma

“Lolita isn’t a perverse young girl. She’s a poor child who has been debauched and whose senses never stir under the caresses of the foul Humbert Humbert, whom she asks once, “how long did [he] think we were going to live in stuffy cabins, doing filthy things together…?” But to reply to your question: no, its success doesn’t annoy me, I am not like Conan Doyle, who out of snobbery or simple stupidity preferred to be known as the author of The Great Boer War, which he thought superior to his Sherlock Holmes.

It is equally interesting to dwell, as journalists say, on the problem of the inept degradation that the character of the nymphet Lolita, whom I invented in 1955, has undergone in the mind of the broad public. Not only has the perversity of this poor child been grotesquely exaggerated, but her physical appearance, her age, everything has been transformed by the illustrations in foreign publications. Girls of eighteen or more, sidewalk kittens, cheap models, or simple long-legged criminals, are baptized “nymphets” or “Lolitas” in news stories in magazines in Italy, France, Germany, etc.; and the covers of translations, Turkish or Arab, reach the height of ineptitude when they feature a young woman with opulent contours and a blond mane imagined by boobies who have never read my book.

In reality Lolita is a little girl of twelve, whereas Humbert Humbert is a mature man, and it’s the abyss between his age and that of the little girl that produces the vacuum, the vertigo, the seduction of mortal danger. Secondly, it’s the imagination of the sad satyr that makes a magic creature of this little American schoolgirl, as banal and normal in her way as the poet manqué Humbert is in his. Outside the maniacal gaze of Humbert there is no nymphet. Lolita the nymphet exists only through the obsession that destroys Humbert. Here’s an essential aspect of a unique book that has been betrayed by a factitious popularity.”

- Vladimir Nabokov in an Interview with Bernard Pivot for Apostrophes (1975)

#vladimir nabokov #dolores haze #im reading collected interviews rn and he says this over and over and over again #and no one ever listened #lolita novel

'ROME, ITALY: Craving a twisty crime drama with a touch of classic cool? Buckle up for 'Ripley,' the latest must-watch from Netflix!

Academy Award-nominated director Steven Zaillian brings the story to life, and trust us, he knows how to create suspense. Starring as the mysterious Tom Ripley is Andrew Scott, who you might recognize from his chilling role in 'Sherlock.'

This ain't your average whodunit – it's a fresh take on Patricia Highsmith's legendary novel 'The Talented Mr. Ripley,' set against the groovy backdrop of the 1960s.

Want to know where the thrilling series was filmed? Look no further!

Filming of 'Ripley' took place at multiple locations

Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast was the main setting, with its picturesque towns like Atrani adding to the series' charm. You might even recognize them in the background shots.

Venice, famous for its canals and gondola rides, also makes an appearance in 'Ripley.' Keep your eyes peeled for scenes filmed there.

The crew even ventured outside of Italy and captured some scenes in the bustling city of New York City, USA.

But wait, there's more! The beautiful church of Santa Maria La Nova in Naples and the impressive Palazzo dei Congressi building in Rome were also filming locations.

So, the next time you're planning a trip to Italy or New York City, see if you can recognize any of these 'Ripley' filming locations.

What's the plot of 'Ripley'?

'Ripley' will center around Tom Ripley (Andrew Scott) and his interactions with Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn) and Marge Sherwood (Dakota Fanning).

Tom, a struggling con man in New York, relies on his deceitful talents like forgery and impersonation to survive.

When Herbert Greenleaf, a wealthy shipbuilder, asks Tom to bring back his son Dickie from Italy, Tom sees an opportunity to enter a life of luxury.

He locates Dickie and becomes fixated on befriending him and immersing himself in his lavish lifestyle. However, Tom's plans face a challenge from Marge, Dickie's close friend who is also in love with him.

How to stream 'Ripley'?

Can't wait to unravel the mystery in 'Ripley'? Catch it on Netflix starting Thursday, April 4...'
