things people are sick of hearing about?
1) So I'm sourcewatching for a DW vid I'm doing that is not about Rose or Martha, at least not directly. It's been an interesting exercise, trying to actively avoid them through three seasons of footage. Rose & Martha (writing it Rose/Martha makes it a lot more interesting, wow) have been very much at the front of my fanbrain lately. The part of my fanbrain not occupied by the Boldstrikepocalypse, of course.
There's been a lot of good meta written about female characters / characters of color in Doctor Who, and I think a lot of it is valid and interesting. But meta explanations aside, you know what it comes down to? I had (/have) a Huge. Girlcrush. on Rose Tyler. I don't have one on Martha Jones. Character I have an insane fancrush on (Rose) + other character I have an insane fancrush on (the Doctor) = OTP. Actually, I suspect Rosecrush > Doctorcrush, in that I would read Rose/someone I didn't much like, while I don't read Doctor/same.
I swear I will not post about Rose Tyler much more, because the Rose Tyler camp has about all the devotees it can hold. I will concede that Commando!Martha was, in fact, hot. And I have high hopes for any casting spoilers that I may or may not know about.
(While we're on the topic? I was sourcewatching They Keep Killing Susie and wow, Detective Swanson, please come back next season. Because I think you need to have highly snarky, possibly handcuff-related getting of the on with Jack and/or Tosh. Yep. Why, hello detective.)
2) You know, I used to invent horrible, horrible story warnings for Harry Potter stories / fanart. And recite them. To win fandom arguments. With my siblings. Yes, I am a sick person.
I never really expected to be part of (okay, a bystander to) a free speech tussle over the very sort of fanworks whose warnings I invented to shock people.
Altogether now, fandom! Burn the land / boil the sea! You can't take our underage(-looking) werewolf bondage noncon from meeee!
(Or rather us /Because I don't really want any underage-looking werewolf bondage / but I suppose I support someone's right to post iiiittt / this joke works better sung out loouuuud)
Imagine little musical notes breaking around that whole last paragraph. OKAY I think we're done here.
3) Hi guys! Should I watch Life on Mars? Because I have been watching this imeem playlist thing and I am starting to have strange and possibly tingly feelings for Sam Tyler and his existential angst.
4) It's amazing how much more I want to post when I've had to walk twenty minutes to get to the internet. At least right now I'm indoors! I got the good coffeeshop table, and for the last forty minutes people have been walking by and glaring at me.
I suppose I will go back to working on my Job-Related Documents now. Grawr.
Some of these items are quite short, but it looks so neat this way.
