I've fallen victim to the Samuel Barnett disease epidemic so I had to create an entire blog dedicated to his amazing being. Discovered him on Dirk Gently and now I'm officially fucked. HOORAY!Ps. I have a DVD collection of his entire back catalogue which I bought purely for giffing purposes/to kiss his ass via Twitter: ...and I've also collected all the audio stories he's featured in which are currently available to buy (Hamlet came out after I took this and it's next up on the 'to buy' list innit):- all of which are on top of my bedroom bookshelf - a.k.a. 'The Samuel Barnett Section' ... XD inc. Renfield print, some pics and my pride and joy/the SB fangirl's calling card - a signed headshot. (Got it on ebay for 99p - bargain!!)NOT TO MENTION the CROWNING JEWELS of my collection: two glorious drawings sent all the way from Russia by the spectacularly talented Ann (a.k.a. ruraldoctor.tumblr.com) - just amazing.<img src="https://68.media.tumblr.com/8f0d768f36457203b629fb30cf67badb/tumblr_o...
my birthday began, right at midnight, with my best friend sending me a cameo message she commissioned for me from samuel barnett, as dirk gently (in the yellow jacket and everything!? which was his decision to include!) wishing me happy birthday. a personalized birthday message from my all time favorite fictional character/show. if i were to say i didn’t cry immediately when i saw him, that would be a lie. this was so incredibly special and really, truly made my day, not even an hour into it. dghda (and dirk specifically) has managed to wedge itself into my heart in a way no other story/piece of media quite has, and the fact that my best friend knows this and knew this would mean the world to me just warms my heart so immensely. best birthday ever.
some of my favorite details from my wonderful, holistic birthday message from dirk (dirk!):
-i mean, first of all, dirk gently addressed me by name. enough said
-he compared me to todd! and in the softest of contexts possible too!
-he actually sang a bit of happy birthday to me!
-without quoting verbatim; he told me i was going to have an amazing year ahead and that whatever i do end up doing is exactly what i was always meant to do as everything is connected
Hi! Can you please post more Hannah and Samuel pics?
I’m afraid I’m no longer active on this blog apart from the occasional pop in. I hope you can find your Hannah and Samuel joy elsewhere though! Cheers. :)
Torchwood, Soho, the 1950s. Disgraced agent Norton Folgate has a new boyfriend, the very lovely Adam. Brilliant scientist Lizbeth Hayhoe meets a charming stranger on the underground, the very lovely Adam. Very soon, Torchwood has a new leader – the very lovely Adam.
With people losing their lives and their souls, Lizbeth and Norton must work out what’s happening to Torchwood. And why is Torchwood preparing to go to war?
I AM A CHOSEN ONE!!!! I officially feel like part of the fandom now because I’ve been targeted by DG’s vile Twitter troll. Sod’s law this happens when I’m out.
In all seriousness though I hope this guy gets the help he needs one day.
I keep gaining followers even though I’m no longer using this blog. :( I feel so sad! I’ve still been keeping up to date with all DG goings on but my obsession has officially moved on as my followers on any of my other social media sites know (to their detriment - AHA!). I thought this one would last a wee bit longer than 7 months but it was so fun while it lasted. Thanks so much for following this blog everyone and sorry to be so rubbish. The submission option is still on the site so anybody can submit posts and I do pop on here occasionally. It’s fun to look back on all the stuff, and there’s always the archive of posts for any new SB nuts who want some delish content.
Also I was asked if I was going to sell any of my SB stuff and being the selfish miser that I am I’m going to keep my collection (and amazing art work from the utterly brilliant @ruraldoctor) in tact on my bookshelf for prosperity purposes. :) But SB stuff is rather easy to get hold of if you have the dosh.
Thanks to all my 644 followers (and counting!!) - you’re all amazing with spectacular taste. One quick bit of retroactive fangirling: SB liked a FB comment I made for the first time the other day!! He’s so lovely.
Also I love this photo lots:
He.Looks.Mega.
Will still be watching DG when it comes out for UK Netflix in December. Not long now!
