It seems like forever since I was properly on LJ. I'm studying like mad for exams, which start next week and being honest, I'm freaking out. Two oral exams and then 19 others. School at its best, right?
I've been lurking on the Merlin communities for quite a while, it's steadily growing to be my new OTP. However, I find it challenging to read the RPS about Colin Morgan and Bradley James. For what reason? It's just too irritating when the majority of writers can't get their nationalities right. When I say 'their', I'm really talking about Colin.
Though, in reality, I have a point.
It's rare to get actors from NI who get to be the main characters in English based TV shows, so naturally, it annoys me that most writes will say he's English or Irish. Call me pedantic about that, but he's NORTHERN Irish. There is a big difference for quite a lot of people in this small country and in theory, he himself could be annoyed to be called Irish. He's from Derry and that would mean he's Protestant, in Northern Irish terms, that means he would see himself as British over Irish.
I'm ranting, so I'll stop.
Anybody have any good Merlin recommendations?
