This kid’s gonna make a wonderful father…

Okay I just have to say. I’ve seen this man act. I’ve seen him dance, a bit. (You know you have, too.) ((I’m talking about To The Ends of the Earth, guys)). I’ve seen him partially naked. I’ve seen him in woman’s clothing. But, good god. When he sang this, with that laugh of his at the end, it’s not even 10 seconds, I don’t think, but this has undone me. I was not prepared for this. I’ve been obsessed with him since 2010. But now I know I’ll love Benedict Cumberbatch forever.

Oh Ben <3

Be my little friend
Through the mountain’s end
We can write a book
Without thinking how we look
