Tumblr informs me that was my 500th post. I didn’t know they had email notifications for that, but I guess it makes sense.

#milestones #oh look an original post #I made this blog in August 2011 #that’s almost two and a half years #I hadn’t realised I was so un-prolific #(at least by Tumblr standards) #(500 posts in 872 days isn’t *that* few)

 

I did it!

It was easier to make the words come out once I tried it in the second-most-secluded place in my house rather than going to the third-most-secluded. (The most secluded place is the Death Trap Room, a part of the attic whose door can only be opened from the outside. No way in hell am I setting more than one foot in there without use of the buddy system, and since the point was to make sure my family couldn’t hear me (so I wouldn’t have that awkwardness)…)

what the fuck what the FUCK oh my god

They told me “The Empty Hearse” was basically a bunch of Sherlock fanfiction smushed together. I didn’t quite believe them.

I believe them now.

I’m sure the look of utter shock on my face at the 2:30 mark would have been very amusing, had anyone seen it. I honestly wondered if I was dreaming.

Three minutes, forty-five seconds. Three and three-quarter minutes in. That’s how far I’ve gotten, and already my mind is utterly blown.

It’s been an hour since I decided to watch it. I’ve managed less than four minutes.

How am I ever going to cope with an hour and a half of this episode?

So this is what shipping feels like. I’d wondered.

So let me get this straight.

You want to create a paradox.

You’ve got a Rory.

You’ve got another, time-displaced Rory.

You’ve got a rule that touching your time-displaced self is grounds for automatic paradox.

What is the obvious answer here?

I get the feeling it wasn’t planned this way.

I don’t think they’d assume the viewer is going to be a: up on Whovian news and b: faceblind.

But I am, and so for me it follows a pretty standard plot twist progression.

First, Hmm, she looks a bit like Jenna-Louise Coleman.

Shortly after, Have I heard Jenna-Louise’s voice? Did it sound like this? I think it might have.

Shortly after that, She talks so fast. Didn’t they say that was one of the things they really noticed about her? How she talked so fast he could hardly keep up with her?

At the end of the episode, watching the credits:

Oswin

Jenna-Louise Coleman

Ha! Now what does this mean for the future plot?

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS

MY PARENTS GOT ME A FEZ FOR MY BIRTHDAY

BECAUSE FEZZES ARE COOL

Now all I need is a bow tie and a suit and an Eleven hairstyle and I can match my jack-o-lantern.

(Yes, I made an Eleventh Doctor pumpkin. I was inspired by this one. All it took was a Sharpie, some construction paper, scissors, Scotch tape, and a screwdriver. Maybe I’ll get Mom to send me the picture; the file’s on her computer.)
