The dogs are epic! But that disclaimer is my new favourite thing. It's awesome :D

Eleven is a mutt! My heart is full. ♥

And that is surely the disclaimer to end all disclaimers. :)

DA BEST! :D

:)

I'd seen the dogs (Four FTW!) but Society's New Rules made me giggle!

I'm torn between War Doctor (so perfect!), Ten (I can't stop giggling) and Eleven (ALL THE LOVE!). But the rules are epic in a whole other way.

How are you doing btw?

Love it.

Apart from the cropped ears on Nine. English, and I'm sure Time Lord, Dobes don't have their ears mutilated.

♥

And maybe it's symbolic of the ~damage and ~pain from the Time War? ;)

Ahahaha the War Doctor dog is spot on. As is Three... that expression/hair, lol.

They're all incredibly accurate! :D

Lol, how can that one man do all those pranks and still have a job? :P

That sponge video is hilarious.

Well, twas found on the internet... No saying if it's true. ;)

That sponge video is hilarious.
I've never seen anything like it!

Haha, fair enough. It really sounds like something off The Office or something, it's so ridiculous the things he pulls! :P

She's just SO EXCITED.

I want it all to be true SO MUCH!

She's just SO EXCITED.
OH MY GOSH!!!

Those dog!Doctors are PERFECT!

Wow, those complaints are hilarious, but what a knobhead! Don't know how he still has a job.

LMAO at that disclaimer.

Those dog!Doctors are PERFECT!
Aren't they just? ♥

Wow, those complaints are hilarious, but what a knobhead! Don't know how he still has a job.
Well it could all just be made up. But it's funny nonetheless.

LMAO at that disclaimer.
Best. Disclaimer. Ever.

OMG the complaints made me laugh HARD. Wonder what Simon did to make David pick on him so much? And with such imagination!! Simon is definitely his 'special friend' *CACKLES* OMG...

Society's New Rules...how smashingly (and terribly) ACCURATE.

AND THAT RAINBOW SPONGE CLIP. WHAT THE...OMG...

*Is ded*

I suspect they might be made up, but even so...

The disclaimer *makes* it!

IKR? I don't even.

*CACKLES*

Ye gods!! That icon!! The only one missing is Granddad...

*snags icon*

But he's the one that calls them that... ;)

Enjoy! I HAD to have one with those 'titles' but no one had made one so I had to do it myself!

True, but it WAS hilarious (and accurate). *Beams*

Ohh, I plan to!! Thank you, thank you, dearest!! Perfect icon is perfect!

*SQUISH*

True, but it WAS hilarious (and accurate). *Beams*
It really, really was! ♥ ♥ ♥

*squishes you back*

Thanks so much for sharing the link to the GitF behind the scenes photos. I loved that episode so much! I'd seen frustrating, tiny clips of some of the photos before, so it's super-nice to have them full-size at last. My DW screensaver is like 2000 pictures by now!

The lady with the sponge...LOL, but I can see how that would be utterly addictive. Can she come help decorate my condo? : D

Me too! ♥ (It was HILARIOUS being in fandom the week it aired. Half my flist was outraged because Ten had ~upset Rose running off with that French so-and-so, whereas my reaction was to be thrilled because he got laid. (A sure indicator I was not cut out to be a Ten/Rose shipper... *g*).) Seriously though, a gorgeous episode through and through.

I'm sure she would if you asked her!

Oh, I was a Ten-Rose 'shipper AND a Ten-Reinette 'shipper AND a Ten-Master 'shipper AND a Ten-River 'shipper. I think I did at least one fanfic story for each of those pairings. I loved Ten with Rose, but I had no problems whatsoever with him running off with Reinette for a few hours, especially since she was so awesome. I loved how she stood down the robots and said "WE are FRENCH" to rally the courage of her subjects. Her death at the end (and the Doctor's reaction to it) was just heartbreaking.

I really didn't get the dislike of the character--maybe it's just the whole "normal girl" viewers identifying with the "normal girl" character, and feeling threatened when a "pretty girl" character comes along and steals the guy away from the "normal girl" character? (If that's the case, maybe the viewers need more help than a TV show should be obliged to give them). ; )

Incredible episode. This one and "Empty Child/ Doctor Dances" are what convinced me that Moff has some exceptional storytelling abilities. (How the hell he ever keeps everything straight in his head is beyond me).

Oddly, the only character I've shipped Eleven with is River. Whereas I could see Ten with any number of other characters, Eleven struck me as much more of a one-woman man, even if he did flirt sometimes. (I don't think the Doctor can ever NOT flirt).

I wonder if the sponge lady does curtains, too? If so, she's welcome to help me decide what to put on my windows. : )

That's the way to do it!!! (And I've written Ten/Rose - several times - and am rather fond of them. <3)

Mmmm, yes. Also the whole episode was a lovely complimentary story to School Reunion.

He is magic.

They'd probably be wiggly curtains...

I loved Rose when she was on the show. I shipped her like mad with Ten. I missed her when she was gone--not only the character, but her whole environment (Mickey, Jackie, the Powell Estate). I liked Martha, but the third season definitely felt like it had a Rose-shaped hole in it. I liked the fourth season much better, partly because Donna, like Rose, had a kind of "ecosystem" with her that made her feel more complete as a character. I always felt like RTD was maybe too busy getting Torchwood off the ground to pay as much attention to Martha as he should have. Also in hindsight, I think Russell was more interested in writing about the Master (don't blame him, LOL) than he ever was about Martha.

Writing fanfic is an interesting experience, especially when it comes to characters who aren't necessarily my favorites. Jack and Martha (and some of the Torchwood folks) have shown up as guest players in my stories, and I always try to do well by them, even if they're not the main focus. I always enjoy the opportunity to flesh out and make subtle "revisions" to canon. My pet theory about Martha is that she ran off with the Doctor less because she was in love with him and more because she needed to get away from her crazy family. Stuff like that.

LOL, thank you SO MUCH for that link! (I'm pretty sure Scarletgirl also used to post over on Television Without Pity; her name seems familiar). Really fabulous insights. I try not to go too crazy with shipping TV characters (or characters from any work-in-progress) because I know sooner or later I'm very apt to be disappointed. I learned this the (very) hard way back on Buffy, when I had Oz and Willow's future all mapped out: grad school, marriage, kids, the works. Then Seth Green decided to leave the show and Willow became a lesbian. LOL. Oops! ; )

One of the nice things about shipping River-Doctor is that there's so much wiggle room. You know how it begins, how it ends, but there's so much potential for unseen adventures between the episodes, you can easily write about a romantic side-trip they took to such-and-such planet. : )

I can only imagine the hand-printed fabric that the sponge lady could create. She could also add a splash of color to my plain white cabinets. : )

I loved Rose when she was on the show.
I liked her, but never found her very interesting. (I don't generally latch onto 'viewer avatars' - for me it was all about the Doctor. *g*)

Yes, some truth in that, but I find Martha a lot more rewarding, characterwise. There's a lot to mine in her story, and her future, whereas Rose & Donna both got tied up with a neat bow. (Not that I don't like them, Donna esp. is awesome, but I don't have a lot to say about them.)

My pet theory about Martha is that she ran off with the Doctor less because she was in love with him and more because she needed to get away from her crazy family. Stuff like that.
*nods* But, like I try to explain above, her convoluted relationship with the Doctor is more rewarding (for me), than Rose's (starcrossed lovers) or Donna's (lost BFF).

Quite possibly. She's been around for a long time.

My OTPs just DIE. And are emotionally incapable of expressing their feelings. :(

Thissssss. (And Doctor/River is the odd one out, because they get together and get MARRIED and LOVE EACH OTHER, but are still deliciously screwed up.)

You might need glasses...

I found Rose more relatable than interesting, in some ways. Weirdly, Martha is a lot more like me--middle child, academically ambitious, closer to her mother than to her father--than Rose will ever be. I think if I ever met someone like Rose, I probably wouldn't like her very much. But in terms of the characters, Rose generally felt more fleshed-out to me. I think a lot of that was that she had a particular environment and there were people in her life who felt more like characters in their own right. The other Joneses always felt like ciphers to me. I actually had a half-written parody fic in my head for a while called "Poker Night on the Valiant," where everyone was sitting around the long table waiting for Martha to show up and get the plot moving. ; ) The Joneses would say things like, "We have no existence without Martha."

LOL!! I'm glad I never got too attached to anyone on Torchwood. It seriously took me three or four years to get over Oz leaving Buffy (I held out hope until the bitter end that Seth Green might come back at least for a block of guest episodes, but no such luck). : / Ten-Rose was actually the first TV pair I'd shipped since the Buffy days, and I was glad that by the time I started watching the show, I already knew Rose was leaving. So she was gone before I hit the point of obsessive personal investment.

(And Doctor/River is the odd one out, because they get together and get MARRIED and LOVE EACH OTHER, but are still deliciously screwed up.)

Plus, they have their separate lives. River's not in every episode. So there's none of the over-familiarity of a character who's there all the time. If you 'ship them, you can have them as happy or as miserable or as messed up as you want them to be. There's a lot of room to play around. (Moff is really a clever bastard with River--he gets to have his cake and eat it, too). I can't wait to see if she pops up again during Twelve's tenure. It would certainly throw her comments about Ten looking "so young" into a whole new light. : )

Sunglasses, more like, to keep from being blinded. : )

I've not really got anything to add. Rose *was* more fleshed out - and relatable - partly because she was our guide to the Doctor. We (the audience and Rose) discovered him together, so she needed to be someone instantly familiar.

Ianto's death is the worst [fannish] thing to ever have happened. Before him I didn't know that you could mourn fictional characters.

Also companions are by their nature transient. The whole show works on continued change, so that helps.

That's it. And she stays a bit of a mystery. They're out of synch, so 'When are they' becomes a feature.

Heeeeee. Although I'm torn. Part of me says MOAR RIVER, YES, and another says BUT SHE BELONGS WITH ELEVEN! (See the header I made...)
