Warning: hands porn!

This content is only for those with strong nerves!

Do you see what's going on with those hands?

Just a few seconds of footage, and I'm starting to blush.

(Watching this without sound gives the best effect…)

I have another job suggestion for him: sign language interpreter for adult films…

Anna Maxwell Martin on working with Shaun Evans

Had you worked with Shaun Evans before?

No but he’s so lovely, he’s a really super, kind person, I so enjoyed working with both him and Kevin Doyle. I’d worked with Kevin twice before, so he was a definitive choice for all of us, but I hadn’t worked with Shaun.

There were lots of big conversations about who would play Sweeney, because I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I did feel there would be times when I would be quite vulnerable playing Delia. I hate saying things like that because of course what Delia has been through is horrific and it’s just acting for me, but I was aware that there was nudity and violence in the series, and you don’t want to be filming with an egomaniac in the room. You want to be with someone who is kind, funny and calm, which Shaun is. If you cast a collaborator then you’re going to be respectful of the people you’re playing and do a good job, and Shaun really understood that. It was really easy to do the difficult scenes because Shaun was so easy to work with, and he is also incredibly talented – he was frighteningly accurate as Sweeney.

You like to ensure there is a positive atmosphere on set, even when filming dark material, don’t you?

That’s the way I work – I couldn’t handle being in character all day long, and even though there were lots of heavy scenes to do I didn’t want a heavy atmosphere on set. That’s where Shaun was really sweet, he just got on that bandwagon with me and I’m very grateful to him for that. Whatever story you’re telling, you must be respectful of the people you’re playing of course, and everyone was very focused and brilliant in doing that. But you also have to be respectful of the fact that crews work very long hours, it can often be a very frenetic job and sets can get quite tense. I am really aware that everyone is doing long hours, so everyone should be able to have a nice time at work and a good working environment, I think that’s really important.

Chapter 6 is up!

Well it certainly gets a bit steamy in this chapter but resisting the lovely Shaun Evans surely not?

Keep the feedback coming, it really is much appreciated :)

᛭ᚦᚢᚱ᛬ᚢᛁᚴᛁ᛭ on brass knuckles would be a look

[season-77]

Only Evans can look at someone like that, especially when he’s playing a (sometimes dirty) hot psychopath.

[season-77]

This scene might not be the most pleasant, but hey, it’s a treasure trove! Our fidgety boy is interacting with everyone and everything in his vicinity... Look closely: there’s a serious conversation happening in the foreground, but what’s his right hand doing in the meantime? Every little wall has been, shall we say... banged.

The other thing is the Scouse accent and its wonderful melody... In the last interview, Shaun teased us with the statement that women are put off by his accent (nice try, Evans, but I don’t think anyone bought that…).

I think in everyday life his accent isn’t as strong, but in that scene when he says "didn't occur to me," I just completely melt.

A couple quotes from Shaun Evans' interview for the UIKY ITV press kit

How was it working with Anna who plays Delia Balmer?

Working with Anna was fantastic and definitely one of the draws of the job. I have admired her for a long time, I think she is a fantastic actor. I saw her on stage about 10 or 15 years ago. She is brilliant. That’s been one of the joys of this job, to be able to lock into one another as actors and do our work. The nature of the material can be quite dark and unpleasant but that being said, I feel like we’ve spent an enormous amount of time rolling about laughing just to try to keep the mood up and light.

I’ve never done anything like this before and it’s been a really interesting experience with lots of take aways from it. But Anna, she is fantastic, and the rest of the actors as well. The majority of my scenes were with Anna but everyone has been magnificent.

On the subject of Delia, she is a very complex and you could say unsympathetic character?

There’s nothing wrong with being unsympathetic. I think there’s a tendency often, when you’re in meetings about jobs and story meetings, people want every character to be as sympathetic as possible and often, people aren’t actually as sympathetic and they wear the wounds of the life that they have had and we shouldn’t shy away from that.

In terms of the question of why I think people will watch it, one of the draws perhaps could be it’s rare in a story like this that you focus on the victim – that was one of the big things for me in this job - that in no way are we glorifying anyone, but actually we are focusing on someone who went through this ordeal and how she tried to build her life again. The violence at the beginning of the tale shouldn’t be in any way fetishized, that’s not what the story is about its incidental in a way but it’s crucial to how she began to rebuild her life. For me, that’s what is interesting about the tale and I hope the audience will find the same.

And when are they gonna run Until I Kill You in the UK? I hear nothing new. I’ve been holding onto screenshots and discussions for forever! I’m gonna have to watch again to remember.

[fanficrocks]

Is it just me, or is the fourth picture next-level scary psycho?

Some new (to me anyway) pictures from Until I Kill You.

Another chapter of my Shaun Evans inspired story!

Sorry for another plugging of my story but Chapter 2 is up:

Hope you like it, feedback is welcome and hope all you Shaun/Endeavour fans enjoy it :) Let's imagine Shaun's appearance as John Sweeney which let's be honest was conflicting as he was very sexy in the role but also playing a murderer as a good character for a change! :)

Post-TA Quenya HC

So, Quenya is pronounced like Latin, right? Except Quenya has "c" alwaqys read as "k", never as "s", regardless of the vowels around it.

But so did Latin, originally. In Roman Empire, Latin was all c->k and also I think v->w (when you're sad, remember: ueni, uidi, uiki. It always makes me laugh.)

Hence, I propose a headcanon: After most of the Elves sail, and the rest hides, people who still use Quenya (scholars) drift the pronunciation like it happened with Medieval Latin. And they say "Sirdan the shipwright" and stuff like this.

(Cut to Maglor being called on his "wrong" pronunciation, or stuff like that) (and then you have English church Latin and "Chirdan". Yes, pronouncing c as ch in Latin is my pet peeve, it just sounds wrong to me, sorry to all Italians, it's fine in Italian, just please not Latin) (Also people pronounce Earendil as Ee-rendil anyway :( )

(@dfwbwfbbwfbwf that's the HC which I was talking about in the comment)

Happy Sunday to everyone. Let's hope the upcoming week doesn't completely suck hahaha

Smiling/laughing Shaun to keep cleansing the brain from UIKY (will I ever watch it? Who knows!)

Also, tonight will air season eight's first episode of endeavour (of course hahaha) here in Italy. I've already watched it (cannot say how, though 🤫👀) but who am I to not watch it for the umpteenth time??
