You always had the loveliest photos of Rob to all your asks and that just makes my day 💛. (Can I see some of your favourite photos of him?) 👀

Why, thank you! 🥰🥰

I make a lot of screengrabs for my Instagram page and edit them myself, so it’s always nice to get a bit of recognition for my efforts.

Here’s a few of my faves. Don’t forget to give me a follow over there on IG where I also play stupid games, post mediocre edits, help to promote fanart I like and share random Robert things I stumble across. ❤️❤️

Just a friendly reminder, Sheepeeps...

It’s only fandom. There is a big, wide world out there full of beautiful things and people. Don’t take it too seriously, the real world is *out there* - not in here.

It’s only fandom. Don’t let it change you. Don’t let it turn you into a bad person. Don’t let it affect the way you treat your fellow humans.

It’s only fandom. It’s not a competition. We’re all out here doing this for *free* and for *fun*. Ain’t none of us gonna get rich writing fanfics (sorry).

And finally... the anon function is there for sending random compliments and sexy thoughts. Not random hate.

Be the Robbie you want to see in the world. ❤️❤️

Which of Rob's work did you see first?

I didn't even know Rob existed until last September. Yeah, I know I was living under a rock. I don't watch much TV, I found TUA completely by accident and almost skipped it because the first promo I saw was pretty weird. (Rob in that colorful outfit, tits out, dancing with a lace umbrella, and I had no idea what was going on, haha.) But the lockdown kicked in and suddenly I had plenty of time... and now here I am, hanging around all day, drooling over pictures, fanfics, gifs, and re-watching his movies over and over again, and bombing you with stupid things.

Never be afraid to bomb me with Robbies. I literally can’t get enough of the man.

The first thing I ever saw him in was Misfits. It was kind of a big deal in the UK in 2009/2010 and I guess I was the right demographic for it at the time, so all my friends and I used to watch it religiously.

I could see Robert was obviously extremely pretty (I have two working eyeballs in my head, after all) but tbh he was a little too baby-faced for me then... I was kind of more into Iwan Rheon at the time. Still, the character of Nathan completely stole that show and I kinda stopped watching it after he left.

Rob fell off my radar until Umbrella Academy was released and, again, the boy stole the whole damn show. Having said that, it was only when season two came along that my brain fully snapped in half. In fact, I can pinpoint the exact moment I became a full-on Robsessive...

There. Right there. That was the moment I went fully insane. The hair, the face, the cowboy shirt. It’s all a rich tapestry. This scene mentally fucked me, permanently and irretrievably.

Maybe it was the pandemic, maybe I’ve always had a bit of an addictive personality, but I can honestly say I’ve not been the same since. I tried to fight it, but then I saw that hot springs scene in Fortitude...

Resistance just seemed futile after that.

Join me, fellow Sheefan! Let us fall into this obsession together. I’ll keep writing smutty stories about this beautiful creature and you can continue to bomb me with random Shee-finds. This man is my therapist, my Maslow’s triangle of needs, my all-natural anti-depressant. 😘😘

Any Season Three Klaus predictions or hopes?

My only hope is that they don’t cut Rob’s hair and that they bring back Cody as Dave, even if it’s just for a flashback. Apart from that, I’m just looking forward to buying the ticket and taking the ride.

Actually, scratch that - I want cowboy Klaus in assless chaps.

[salvador-daley]

Imagine you are cooking a meal for Rob. What do you make for him?

I love this question. When I’m playing hostess, I normally cook my guests something super fattening, like my 4,000-calorie-per-serving lasagne, or my cottage pie (avec mash made with lashings of Lurpak and sour cream). But Rob would want something healthy… perhaps a prawn and mango curry, served with coconut rice.

Or maybe just smear myself in Nutella and see what happens.

I could make a fish taco joke here but I won’t. 🐠🌮

[salvador-daley]

What's your fave Rob movie? Least fave?

Favourite has to be The Road Within. God, I love that film. Not just because Rob is beautiful in it, but also because you can really appreciate the level of effort he put into that performance. It’s genuinely some of his best work.

Least favourite? Fuck, there are so many (sorry, Rob!) Three Summers is like a psychic cheese grater. Anita B is so amateurish and poorly made. Mortal Engines... that hair. Please, don’t make me choose. 😖😖

Think I found my new fav blog

Welcome, new friend! Come on in, have a seat, take a pamphlet.

Can I get you anything? A tea, maybe? Or a smutty headcanon?

Perhaps I can interest you in our fine selection of Robbies? There’s one for every occasion...

Don’t be a stranger, now. You’re in good company here. 😘😘

[salvador-daley]

Other than the artist, is you name a reference tosomething? And if it was just the artist, what made you pick it?

I must admit, the name was shamelessly pinched from Mr Sheehan himself...

You can watch Robert read the story of Salvador Daley in the Instagram live he did with Ari Gold here.

I should be working, but instead I'm here, and thinking about ​​how incredible it would feel to wash his hair.

I'm a very enthusiastic person, and I had a lot of celebrity crushes before him, but there is something elusive about him, a certain "je ne sais qoui" that you can't resist, and I can't stop thinking about him all day. Which is crazy, and I know my enthusiasm will fade at some point, but now I just enjoy it while it lasts.

Ok, let’s just make one thing very, very clear.

Robert Sheehan’s hair is GLORIOUS. If you’re struggling to think about anything else, that’s on him and Mother Nature for making him that way - you can’t be held accountable.

It’s totally natural to fantasise night and day about sticking your fingers into those soft, dark curls, massaging a coconut-scented shampoo bar into his scalp and then looking down on his pretty face as you carefully rinse the suds away.

You are only human, after all. 😘😘

[salvador-daley]

I have so much to say, but it can definitely not be said, not even on anon, soooo I'll just tell you about the time I went to a Bianca Del Rio gig with a broken foot and she gave me so much grief for wearing flats. She actually called me up on stage just to talk shit about my shoes.

Ok, so, according to Google, Bianca Del Rio is a drag queen. I literally know nothing about her… but from your story she sounds super mean. So imma give her two thumbs down 👎👎 and give you two Lubas instead. 👍👍

[salvador-daley]

Since we’re working on this a threesome fic, if you could pick any two of Rob’s characters for your ultimate fantasy threesome who would choose? 👀

Oof. This is *hard*...

Probably Vladek and Klaus. Both equally freaky in the sack and unlikely to back down from a challenge.

(Yes, you read this right... @seanfalco and I are working on a threesome fic. Hold on to your butts, filth fans!)

i want to write, but ive seen so many of my favourite writers get hate and it scares me you seem super chill and like a good person for advice do you ever get any and how do you deal?

This is a tricky one to answer because I think every writer experiences a bit of negativity from time to time. My only real advice is to try not engage with it (easier said than done, tbf). Keep the anon function off if you need to, turn comments off too. And if it starts to get too much, just take a little break and come back to it when you’re ready (which is something I had to do recently).

Yep, there are some people who go around leaving mean and unnecessary comments on other people’s work. Don’t fucking ask me why, it’s a mystery to me. However, I don’t think you should allow the possibility of a few dickheads to hold you back from pursuing the things you want to do. There are so many more benefits to writing beyond the reactions of others. And if they don’t like what you create, well, it’s entirely optional and they are welcome to jog on.

Having said all of that, I’ve made some lovely, supportive friends in this fandom and I might never have gotten to know them if I hadn’t started this page. And for every mean anon you might receive, there is one saying your work has entertained/inspired/brightened someone’s day. So please don’t let the occasional bit of negativity prevent you from writing. Let your creative juices flow!

Ooh, that last bit was a bit sexual, wasn’t it? Juices. Hehe. Anyway... have a Robbie. Xx

Moral dilemma: this is on my husband’s birthday. What do I do?

Favorite HST quote?

Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run… but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant...

History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of “history” it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time��and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.

My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe forty nights—or very early mornings—when I left the Fillmore half-crazy and, instead of going home, aimed the big 650 Lightning across the Bay Bridge at a hundred miles an hour wearing L. L. Bean shorts and a Butte sheepherder's jacket... booming through the Treasure Island tunnel at the lights of Oakland and Berkeley and Richmond, not quite sure which turn-off to take when I got to the other end (always stalling at the toll-gate, too twisted to find neutral while I fumbled for change)... but being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was: No doubt at all about that…

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda… You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning…

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

@softforklave ?

Nora aka Mad Evil Raccoon aka @softforklave is such a warm and welcoming presence over on Elliot’s House. Literally everyone is a fan, me included. Even though she’s secretly three evil raccoons in a trenchcoat.

Also, I love how much she loves my best boys. And her cute little icon on my dash always makes me smile. 🥰

super-unpredictable98?

Another person I don’t know very well, but @super-unpredictable98 seems like the sweetest bean.

I’m a big fan of her work too and I always get excited when I see she’s posted a new chapter. Her Rob characters are all so sweet and adorable and, ugh, I just want to hug them all. I can’t wait to read the next instalment of Me & Ms. Adolphson.
