your head caught in a waking dream

[heathershaped]

This is a bit of a test post, to see if the Dreamwidth link thing shows up at the bottom of my LJ posts. I've been crossposting for damn near a year now but for some reason I haven't been linking from LJ (I think I was afraid it would disable LJ comments or something, but nope). Anyway, it was easy, instructions are here. Thanks, sophinisba!

Funtimes.

But while I'm here, some assorted things!

+++ Angel and her hair on the Merlin set. IT'S STARTING :D :D :D More photos here - but they do contain some character spoilers.

+++ Apparently, Matt Smith wrote fic about the Doctor to prepare himself for the role. As if I needed more hearts in my eyes.

I haven't watched the Confidentials yet, half-because I feel I will come away from them shipping Matt and Karen helplessly. Dunno why I'm resisting.

Meanwhile I've been working through my feelings on the most recent episode by making picspams and posting them to my tumblr. Not sure if I'm done yet; there were a lot of feelings. Loving Who again, you guys. Things is strange.

+++ Interesting discussion on 'Mary Sues' in fandom recently. I really like this post, and this one, which has links to other posts.

I'm pretty allergic to the term myself. But there's good discussion to be had.

Loving Who again, you guys. Things is strange.

It's a wonderful feeling though, isn't it?

Angel and her hair on the Merlin set.

Someone made a really whimsical icon of her on set from the picture where her dress is going SWISH in the wind. I sort of covet that icon, but have no place for it.

Wonnnnnderful :D

Yay for Angel being swishy! *g*

I don't watch Merlin but the two female stars of that show are so gorgeous that I love to look at stills from it. *_*

Also I haven't seen Doctor Who yet but I have it downloaded and I'm kind of excited. Apparently there are space whales???? Oh Moffat, it's like you personally asked me what I want in my silly sci-fi show. ♥

[heathershaped]

I watch Merlin because of the two female stars primarily. There are no words for how much I would not watch Merlin if they weren't in it. *______*

SPACE WHALES YES

Whales and space. WHALES. AND SPACE. <3333

It's so great to actually have a likeable Doctor again. LOL And even though he's lacking eyebrows, I love him!

[heathershaped]

lmao not only is he lacking eyebrows but his face looks like an actual foot, and I DON'T CARE, I LOVE HIM SO. The more we get to see his personality the more attractive he gets. He's LOVELY.

Angel's hair is unthinkably pretty. Incredibly happy Sir Leon didn't die; I still remember screaming "SIR LEOOOOOOOOON!" when the dragon fire got to the knights.

As for the Mary Sue discussion, I'm really surprised we've never had it before but I'm sooo glad we are having it. Lots of good points floating around.

[heathershaped]

I have FEELINGS about Angel's hair, omg. I have less strong feelings about Leon but I'm really glad he didn't die!

Matt Smith writing fic as his prep work will always be one of my favourite things about this new series. (Where is the 11/Pond fic, Matt? I know you wrote it.)
