EnigmaticPenguin (of death)

Here be lots of Mark Gatiss-obsession, Sherlock reblogging, random appreciation of Things-What-Be-Awesome and gif-experimentation.

Things you may or may not wish to know about me:

Folks usually call me Nicola - what with that being my name and all. I'm from the UK (Bristol specifically), am 27 years old and be of the female persuasion. I've been in a variety of interweb fandoms long enough to know better, own two gerbils, two hamsters and one taxidermy squirrel. I go by alocin42 in a few other places such as livejournal and AO3; if you can guess why you get a prize. I can't remember now why I chose this url instead of my usual name... maybe due to my strangely attractive enigmatic smile. Or maybe because I can kill you in any one of 412 different ways.

I'm always happy to respond to queries or random rambling questions; drop me an ask. And oh look, I'm on twitter too.

My Gatiss-wife is the lovely deathbygatiss and our Flower/Gore Girl is the blood-soaked andymillman.

Mark’s League Ladies Appreciation

“As I say we don’t usually go to these kinds of things - it loses a little in translation…”

Results are in - Mark didn’t think all that much of Eurovision this year.

If one or any or all of us are ill, we’ve got the stand-ins. They’ve done quite a lot of the show so far.

Mark on the secrets behind the League of Gentlemen on tour.

They tease with their Nebulous in-jokes… tease, to death!

The different reactions produced by close contact with blonde!Gatiss.

“He is the light of our lives and, though he leaves gigantic footprints, he is in no way scary.” - Mark on Bunsen

This is a lengthy interview with Mark Gatiss printed in The Evening Standard on 7 September 2007; back when he was appearing as Agrado in All About My Mother. It’s a bit all over the shop and a few sections are just tut-worthy, but it’s also very touching in places and includes the bafflingly winning line ‘He was terribly envious when his League writing partner Jeremy Dyson contracted TB.’ So swings and roundabouts; enjoy what you may!

Mark Gatiss looks at me conspiratorially: “I had just stepped out of the shower on press night and there in the doorway was Pedro with Penelope Cruz. He’s secretly been in to see the play several times. But he was so sweet and self-effacing. He said, ‘It’s your show now.’ He loved it.” It’s not often you get to meet an Oscar winning director and his muse, half-naked…

“My problem is this - If I am to minister to, ah, ‘fallen women’, how shall I recognise them?

“Then we’d kill them,” Gatiss replies with a broad, innocent smile. “Without a shadow of doubt. Whoever they were, as soon as we could, we’d kill them.”
Even thirteen years ago this was Mark’s solution to characters becoming ‘hugely, implausibly popular’. [x]

It wasn’t just coal that came out of the ground - it was death. A death coloured green. A green death.
