A line that just fell out onto the computer while I was writing:

“So the Lone Power, the Defender and the Whisperer walk into a bar – “

(headclutch) Great, just great. Another joke that it’s going to take me a decade or two to find the punchline for.

(wanders off muttering)

Man I love/hate/love those lines that just fall out onto the computer while you’re writing and are TOTALLY EFFING AWESOME.

(I mean. Mine are never that awesome. But still, the feeling is lovely.)

Also, am I the only one who sees “bar” in a YW context and immediately thinks of The Man in the Bar? No? Good. Because the first punchline I can come up with looks something like this:

The Lone Power, the Whisperer, and the Defender walk into a bar. The Doctor sees them coming, throws an assortment of strange things from his pocket onto the bar to cover his tab, grabs the forearm(s) of whichever companion(s) he’s with at the moment and says, “Run!”

#DON’T FUCK WITH ME POSTER

SURELY I AM DREAMING

SHAKING AND CRYING

IF THIS IS A JOKE I WILL FLY TO ENGLAND AND FUCK SOME SHIT UP.  DO NOT TOY WITH MY NINTH DOCTOR FEELINGS, BBC.

SO SAD when I found out this was just a fan-made poster. WHY WOULD YOU TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THIS.

break my heart, that’s fine, whatever.

At first, I saw this and thought, “god why would someone make a gifset from Silence in the Library, that’s just rude.” AND THEN I REALIZED IT WAS A MANIP. AND EVEN MORE DEPRESSING.

Had my last 9am class of the semester this morning and my second-to-last class of the semester! Now it is all fun and paper-writing til the end of the semester (or til my copy of Clarissa accidentally falls from my bookshelf and gives me a severe concussion on its way down…).

Only tangentially related, you should follow this blog if you’re into that sort of thing because it is hilarious and I’m not just saying that because it’s run by someone I know.

Like seriously is that a thing
I mean I love him but

Any nine lovers out there care to make themselves heard?

Right here!

-raises a confident hand- Right here darling, come on in and help yourself to a banana!

There’s no “but” about it: he’s the darkest, sexiest, most intense Doctor ever.
And he’ll always be my Doctor.

My Doctor <3

forever my doktah

nine is my forever doctor

This one time on my twenty-first birthday Christopher Eccleston and I went to see the same play in London. I met him outside the stage door and told him he was my Doctor. He signed my program. It was epic.

MARCH 11th:  

THE DAY YOUR SEXUALITY WAS DESTINED TO BECOME IRRELEVANT.

As if I needed more reasons why Captain Jack and River Song should have their own spin-off show…!

(via megalosaur)

Because in the same day, the following things have happened:

1. DD trolling fans about Games Wizards Play (and I say “trolling” in an affectionately frustrated way, not an angry way)
2. Me deciding to do an audiobook giveaway since I’ve got an extra credit on Audible and obviously more people should hear these brilliant audiobooks
3. A couple of people I don’t follow on Tumblr (but will soon!) re-reading the series and talking about their #yw feels
4. One of my RL friends meeting the Fifth Doctor in High Wizardry, which he’s reading for the first time
5. Showing up at a grad student party to find that the hostess’s bookshelves are overflowing with all kinds of brilliant fantasy/sci-fi novels, including Diane Duane’s (including Door Into Fire which I still need to read!)
6. Talking fanworks with aforesaid PhD student and a prospective PhD student.

(But guys, grad school is SRS BIZNESS, I totally do real academic work. Like earlier today when I was reading about undead bodies in women’s Romantic writing for my MA essay, or talking about 18th-century fan reworkings of Richardson’s canonical novel Clarissa…oh wait.)

The glasses are on, you guys. This is how you know I mean business.

Allons-y!
