*Counterpoint post to Lorena’s fabulous “Cumberbatch Engaged and I’m Not Even Mad“
Ok, maybe “mad” is the wrong word but come on Benedict Cumberbatch, we were supposed to meet this summer at Comic Con and the Dreamworks publicists screwed it up! Clearly, if we had met, you would have dropped everything and wanted to be with me forever, Comic Con be damned.
Since fate has ruined our perfect love story forever, you’ve decided to seal the deal with some super classy lady named Sophie Hunter and tell everyone via an old timey newspaper announcement like goddamn gentleman, I’ll just be over here wailing and gnashing my teeth.. To say the internet (and myself) let out a collective anguished cry would be an understatement.
Here’s how we all took the news:
I beg to differ Bullett Media!!! I BEG.TO.DIFFER. Maybe he wasn’t going to marry YOU but he was definitely going to marry ME! A person he’s never heard of or met before. THANKYOUVERYMUCH.

Listen Buzzfeed, we don’t appreciate your glibness in the face of sorrow and impending spinsterhood.
That’s more like it E! Online, thank you for respecting this sad time.
Republicans surge and Benedict Cumberbatch engaged. I’m going to bed.

Benedict Cumberbatch announced his engagement. Martin Freeman’s going to be really pissed after two years, when he finds out about this. — Akshar (@AksharPathak) November 5, 2014
Some of us can have a laugh and a cry on the inside We just gotta suck it up:

At least we still have Tom Hiddleston. PLEASE TOM, the fandom is begging you, we need at least a year to lick our wounds and heal, don’t do ANYTHING drastic until we meet you next year. AT THE EARLIEST. PUH-LEASE.
