I've seen this meme before, and because I'm like talking about my opinions and talking in general:

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

Do ask me! *hopeful face* Fandoms are Doctor Who, Torchwood, Life on Mars, Harry Potter and Blackadder. Oh, and Agatha Christie.

I can't wait for Agatha Christie to make her appearance in Season 4. *g* Someone should write pre-emptive fic about this.

VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED! HOW MUCH DID I LOVE IT? (Lots. Really, literally, lots. I loved it so hard there is nothing left of me but a gooey pile of squee.) 



Yay for youtube. I really, really CAN'T WAIT!

I was watching Blink today and now I really want a T-shirt that says "The Angels have the phonebox." WITH A TARDIS ON IT.

Who ships Tosh/Ianto?

I need to know, because it is quite a rare pair and it seems like there are only a handful of people who have even thought about putting the two of them together. Aside from the fact that Ianto is clearly established as Jack's bitch on Torchwood many, many times (although no protests from me - they're really hot together), Tosh is criminally underused.

Also, the only time they are seen to be talking to each other on the show (Countrycide), they end up yelling at each other. So... dodgy premise? Not so! With the power of the dubious canonicity of deleted scenes and online instant messenger transcripts, I make a case for Toshanto!

1. Youtube video of deleted scenes from Cyberwoman. If you'll ignore the bit in front where Gwen tries to raise team morale and stuff, you'll see that there's a part where Tosh brings Ianto a coffee. Presumably after the events of Cyberwoman. Bless her, Tosh tries to be nice, Ianto brushes her off but drinks the coffee anyway.

2. Online Instant Messenger Transcript between Owen and Tosh. Tosh is worried about Ianto! Of course, more as a friend than a potential romantic interest, but she cares about him, dammit.

3. Online Instant Messenger Transcript between Tosh and Ianto. After the events of Countrycide. They're rather good friends, and their dynamics, while not very sexy, is at least healthy. Tosh is quite possibly the sanest person I know in Torchwood.

4. Online Instant Messenger Transcript, again. After the events of Greeks Bearing Gifts. Ianto is more adept at cheering Tosh up than Tosh is at cheering him up. They're really very cute in this. Squee!

5. And that time in Countrycide, when they were very cute working with each other.

All right, so this proves nothing but when has that ever stopped fandom? More people should write Toshanto fic, dammit. I am very disappointed with fandom. VERY.

Inspired by this, I have decided to write crackish fic in which the Doctor has emotional baggage about as heavy as twenty billion elephants, because it seems that that's all I'm capable of writing. *g*

Title: Confessions on the Titanic (The Space-Age Knockoff One)
Author: lolarity
Rating: G
Characters: The Doctor, Astrid, mentions of Rose and Martha
Description: After they've defeated the aliens, the Doctor asks Astrid to come with him.
Spoilers: About two lines of the preview clip of Voyage of the Damned.
Disclaimers: Not mine, BBC owns Who.
Notes: The two lines that inspired this ficlet go something like this: ( spoiler )

( After the whole debacle was over, the Doctor and Astrid found themselves side by side. )

(Watching The Christmas Invasion:)

Mum: "David Tennant? Who was the other Doctor?"
Me: "Christopher Eccleston?"
Mum: "Atkinson?"
Me: "No, that's Mr. Bean."

I didn't tell her that Rowan Atkinson's played the Doctor before, because that would really confuse her.

Today, day after I was rewatching The Parting of the Ways and The Christmas Invasion, I opened up a newspaper and what did I see? An article! On how

ET too bored to reply to Earth

Basically, the gist is that these scientists have been sending messages into space but not getting a reply. Rather than leaping to the next logical conclusion: that perhaps they didn't get their mail, hm? They decide: their messages "must have been too boring to earn a reply"! They are now "trying to improve on chat lines."

What are the kind of messages they've been sending out? The Canadian astrophysicist known as Yvan Duntil replies with: "mathematically-coded descriptions of physics and chemistry, with basic biology and descriptions of humans thrown in." Okay, that's boring.

Seriously? If I were to send messages to aliens, I'd make it interesting. I'd talk about literature. Or include photos of Earth. Because if the alien knows enough to decode your messages, he probably knows quite a bit of physics and/or chemistry. Or maybe I'd include a vial of A+ blood.

So instead of maths and science, they're talking about democracy. "The maths shows that with more than two choices, there is no perfect electoral procedure." C'mon! Democracy's interesting! What about the Romans, hmm? Or Al Gore? Is no one interested in him anymore? I didn't even get the above quoted sentence!

Honestly. Scientists.
