Welcome to Fun Day Sunday! Today we’re having more fun with CRAzy Captioning: Richard Armitage Style. For the uninitiated, CRAzy Captioning is where I take a character portrait from one of the exquisitely talented Richard Armitage’s many roles and provide a caption that gives an alternative context to what is showing in the image.
I am aiming for humor here and with the utmost respect for Mr. Armitage as a person and as an artist. I just have a funny bone and enjoy employing it now and again. And Mr. Armitage seems to have a funny bone, too, because he has such a delightfully joyous laugh in interviews–as evidenced by the example below in the brilliant video compilation snippet “Richard Armitage: Ha-ha-ha!” by Britu21:
Richard Armitage is such a wonderful actor and storyteller that we his fans enjoy seeing him in new artistic projects, discussing his work, and as in this case, having a little fun. Besides, we have to amuse ourselves somehow until his next artistic project–The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey–is released to theatres in December 2012. Richard Armitage is going to be brilliant as Thorin Oakenshield–as we saw in the movie trailer in December 2011! But we knew that already. The man is a chameleon as an actor and master storyteller, immersing himself in his roles and becoming the persona he is portraying. Sighhhh! So two years to wait to see our favorite actor and storyteller in a new artistic project is a very very very long time to wait. But we’re hanging in there faithfully, Richard. Uh, I mean, Mr. Armitage.
So, I hope everyone enjoys today’s little bit of fluff and fun. Thanks so much to several of my friends (as noted below) who suggested some of the images for which I wrote the picture captions–although Judith and Jeannie provided great captions for their images and I used their suggestions, with an added caption of my own on Judith’s. An additional part of the fun is for you to see if you can “best” my/our captions by providing your caption suggestions in a comment and indicating by letter, which image you are recaptioning. So “let the games begin”–Robin Hood series 3, Episode 5 title.
Cheers! Gratiana

Hi Tereza,
Thanks for your lovely note! I’m glad you enjoyed the captions.
Caption “B” was fun for me to come up with. I wholeheartedly believe that if Sir Guy and Lady Marian had ever gotten together–in the biblical sense, as husband and wife, of course–then Marian would have become completely besotted with Guy’s tenderness as a lover. Heck, we only know of Sir Guy virtually and “we’re” completely besotted with him. Giggles!
Of course, I”m giving Sir Guy the benefit of the doubt as a wonderful lover based on two things: 1) Annie the mother of Sir Guy’s child in RH1 episode 4 (Parenthood) said that Sir Guy had a softer loving side to him (Sighhhh!); and 2) we’ve seen RA in action as a lover on screen (he’s my kind of “action” hero–fanning myself mightily to keep from swooning). Were Sir Guy and Lady Marian to have shared their love with each other, it would have melted our television or laptop screens. *swoon* *thud*

Hi Grati, why don’t you start a poll for the most CRAzy captioning?
I simply adore the one suggested by Tereza (“Marian and the Password”) and Judith (“Multiple Roars”)! Both beautiful!
Moreover, I want to thank Fani for choosing one of my fave screencaps of Lucas S8 when he (first caresses to check temperature and then) grab the Italian mocha! Grrrr!

Hi Carla/Cassi,
Thanks for your nice note. Hmmm. I’ll have to look into polling. We would need a separate one for images and captions.
Tereza’s image choice did inspire me to create the caption. As did Judith’s initial image (the far left one of Guy yelling) and her caption about werewolves. I provided the other three “roaring” images and the second caption. Ha!
And Lucas? I like the way you think. He can “caress” my carafe any day of the week. Giggles! (Just kidding to my dear hubby. *wink*)
Cheers! Grati ;->

Gals,
A friend over in RAFN posted a suggestion to Caption F2 stating that she would only be able to emit random vowels sounds in response to Sir Guy’s asking what else might be removed from the picture. Hmmmm.
To which I/Grati replied (my tongue firmly in my cheek): “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! EEEEEEEEEEE! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! OOOOOOOO! UUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Ahhhh! I feel so much better now that I’ve gotten that out of my system miLord. (I say tickling Sir Guy’s nicely sparse patch of chest hair as I nestle into him to cuddle.) Care to go for the consonants? *wink* ”
(*Saucy alert*) Ooh! It just occurred to me that if Sir Guy can elicit that level of a favorable response in the five vowels sounds, just think how hard he would be working to get all of the 21 consonants “expressed”.
I better stop while I’m ahead. Ha! Cheers! Grati ;->

Marian was a tough nut to crack (Image C). Ha! And as we said over in RAFN, Lucy Griffiths played Lady Marian to perfection! Despite how frustrating it was to Sir Guy. Ha! Because in interviews we could see what a lovely person that Ms. Griffiths is herself.
And as for womanizer Lee (Image D)? You almost make him sound a little vampire like. Ha!
However, here’s another caption suggestion for Image D from me/Grati, bouncing off of your idea:
Lee: “I may be kissing your hand now, but you’ll be eating out of my hand later after I have had my way with you.”
Grati: “Oh Lee, which ‘way’ is that? Point and I will follow.”
Giggles! Cheers! Grati ;->
