Revelation:

Damian Lewis is approximately 438573493 times less off-putting when speaking with his normal accent. Not that I don't love Dick Winters, and not that Life isn't (I'm sure, having only seen 1 episode so far) great, but... saldkja. I don't know. For me, the accent... levels his voice out or something, and makes his delivery really CREEPY in the not-fun-to-watch sort of way.

Anyway, in conclusion: omg BoB extras andheartssemicolon.

ETA: Ngl, as much as I love Kate Beaton's original comic (so true!), the copy-pasta-ing of Irish Rebel Songs(TM) and multitudinous comments about how Irish history is ~*the best*~ Because I Am An Irish-American, etc. make me really squirmy. Not that this totally wouldn't happen anyway, because... come on, you guys know me and my Mixed-Up Irish Issues of Lol, but. The cultural appropriation failtacle hasn't really helped, and now I can even sort of begin to frame coherent reasons why. (Sort of.)

DAMMIT, INTERNET. STOP MAKING ME MORE CULTURALLY AWARE OF MYSELF.

Oh my god the epic size of my reading list this weekend. And the library is only open from 9:30-4 and 11:00-5:00 Saturday and Sunday respectively. *bursts into hysterical tears*

(Today, I fell asleep over my copy of Sport & Spectacle in the Ancient World during lunch.)
