This week, Benedict Cumberbatch fans everywhere were devastated to find out about the actor's engagement to Sophie Hunter [1]. Our first reaction, of course, was to do a little research to tell you just who Sophie Hunter is [2]. Once the shock subsides, though, you're left to deal with your feelings. You could try to soothe yourself with hot Benedict Cumberbatch pictures [3], of course, but we're here to help you confront your grief. Refer to our 1-10 scale, and figure out where your feelings fall.

Level 1: Confusion, Mostly

You're like, "He had a girlfriend?"

Level 2: Acceptance and Approval

You're all, "Good for you, you sexy man. You deserve this."

Level 3: Aw, Man!

Listen, you're kind of bummed out. You had hopes. You had dreams. And now they've washed away.

Level 4: You're Gonna Need a Minute

You feel like you've taken a bullet. Just take some deep breaths. You'll get through this. This too shall pass.

Level 5: It Hurts, but You'll Be OK

Today is the worst. It's been ruined. You've been ruined. You wonder, is it possible to die from a broken heart? Deep down, though, you know you'll live. There's always tomorrow.

Level 6: Just Kidding, You're Definitely Not OK

Remember when you said this too shall pass? You were wrong. This is awful. Nothing is OK. Everything is the worst.

Level 7: Anger and Rejection

How dare he marry someone that's not you?! How could he be so inconsiderate? If he didn't have the decency to be your husband, he should have been celibate for the rest of time and eternity.

Level 8: Ugly Crying

Something you might say at this level: "I think I'm going to go cry in a closet somewhere." You're considering a hunger strike. You're considering flying to London, hunting Benedict down, and saying, "HOW COULD YOU?!"

Level 9: You're "Literally" Dead, You "Literally" Can't Even

You hold a memorial service for all your hopes and dreams. You start giving away your worldly possessions, for you will no longer have any use for them. You're dead inside. You're dead outside. All of you is dead.

Level 10: Mental Breakdown/Rampage

You will not stand for this. Someone will pay. You didn't devote years of your life to this fandom only to be betrayed. You know what they say: Hell hath no fury like a woman (or man) scorned. And you hope everyone's ready for some Hell.
