Want you to hit me like a bus and then I'll get right the fuck back up
So I had a completely miserable night with a lot of pain and zero sleep and only managed to nap for a couple of hours in the afternoon and woke up to grey rain and some potential medical news I'm going to want a serious double-check on, but as I made my intermittent rounds of other people's Tumblrs I saw that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
selkie had just tagged me for a gifset of twenty-year-old Jeremy Brett as some kind of uncredited beautiful student in Noel Langley's Svengali (1954) and that does help, thank you.

Gifsets don't solve things, but unexpected elderly things being gif-ed by someone else is definitely a special good the universe throws up from time to time.

Thank you. This appears to be how things are at the minute. I am trying not to take up too much bandwidth about it.

Agreed. This one was particularly good timing.

Thank you. I hope so, too. I am waiting on doctors.

At this age, he is just starting to be recognizable as himself—it's clearer in profile, see gifset and still below—but no matter what, he is extremely pretty.

It's difficult for me to believe that Jeremy Brett was ever so young and pretty. But there he is!

The youngest I had previously seen him was My Fair Lady (1964), where he is very much himself and an infinitely more appealing Freddy Eysnford-Hill than Shaw ever intended. And I actually think he's quite beautiful for much of his run as Holmes. But this is just ridiculous.

(I also have every finger crossed on the medical stuff.)

He is!
He does not, I am afraid, do his own singing, as I believed for years, but he does a good fall over an ashcan in "Show Me."

It's like seeing a very young Peter Cushing. His cheekbones have barely come in.
Even the sideburns can't really make a dent in the impression he makes.
No. Which is impressive, because they're terrible.

I hope the medical news can move from alarming to actually useful data. Holding my thumbs and wishing you a lack of anxiety until this is sorted.
