Omg, can we keep them?

[promethia_tenk]

Was there a trailer on the BBC, because it didn't show up on Disney.

[elisi]

I don't know, I turned it off.

/spoiler phobe

[promethia_tenk]

I am guessing they didn't do one because they're being so hush-hush about that ep, but I figured maybe there was some 30 second thing . . . I'll keep an eye on YouTube.

[promethia_tenk]

'Fanks. Yeah, that was about what I was expecting, given how hush-hush they're being.

[elisi]

I don't see why not. :)

[promethia_tenk]

Fourteen and Donna squeeing over the new TARDIS is clearly the new Vampires in Venice gif. Not that that should be replaced, but you know what I mean.

[elisi]

Oh yes. Same vibes. :)

[sea_thoughts]

Journalists getting kidnapped? Check.
Mother slapping the Doctor? Check. (But frankly deserved in this case.)
RIDICULOUS EXPLOSIONS AND GUN BATTLES? Check.

But at least it was fun.

[elisi]

Journalists getting kidnapped? Check.
I had literally forgotten that that happened...

But yeah, very very RTD. And fun. :D

[sea_thoughts]

It definitely hits different now after the phone hacking trials, after Carole Cadwalladr, after Hacked Off. Update your references, Rusty. We need another journalist on the TARDIS.

[elisi]

Guess it'll be the next one after Ruby. I don't know any 18 year old journalists... ;)

[kazzy_cee]

Happy, happy, happy. DT needs to shave better (only criticism)

[elisi]

LOL! Guess he forgot when he while he was a woman... ;)

[kazzy_cee]

LOL!!!!

[promethia_tenk]

*snort* Good point.

I'll be honest, it's one of the few things I genuinely don't envy men about. I can imagine changing back after having a reprieve and going 'fuck it, I'm becoming a lumberjack.'

[magnavox_23]

Is it too early for icons? :P

[elisi]

Most assuredly not!! I am suffering from icon withdrawal! D:

ETA: My keywords for this icon is 'Time Lords can be re-written'. If you want to do a better one (with better caps!) I would be forever grateful. I'm not even 100% sure what I am looking for? Something to show the growth from Ten to Fourteen.

Look okay, I shall just throw ideas out there and you let you decide what will work.

- Ten cradling the dying Master vs Fourteen cradling the dying Donna
- Ten as he mindwipes Donna vs Fourteen saying the code that will unlock her memories
- Ten IN THE RAIN vs Fourteen beaming with joy

You may regret friending me, I love icons like burning. <3 Well I love imagery fullstop (I can link you to all my meta, which is v v image heavy), I just lack the skills (and time) for creating icons.

[magnavox_23]

My journal is like 90% icon-making, and it's been going on 20ish years now (DW, LJ, forums). :P I have completed every episode of Sherlock, and Stargate. Still working on 13th Doctor (fav), and old school MacGyver, as well as OFMD.

I will have a think with these prompts!

I have just capped The Star Beast myself (because I couldn't find anyone else who had done it yet). Definitely link me the meta, I don't know anyone who gets as much out of icons as I do (even if I don't have the space to use them myself).

[promethia_tenk]

Never too early for icons, and for the first time in years, I find myself in desperate need of them!

(Though I must second elisi's warning: she's a menace. Run away while you have the chance.)

[magnavox_23]

Oh we have been circling a while now, so I know *g*

Icon making does mean a thorough rewatch to ensure I capture nuance, temperament... and Tennent. Oh dear...

[sea_thoughts]

So here's something I only realised today. I was wondering what the talk about "letting go" reminded me of and it's this moment between Amy and Rory in Asylum of the Daleks.

https://youtu.be/CLEjNqsC2EQ?feature=shared

This could so easily be an exchange between Donna and the Doctor.

"I didn't kick you out. I gave you up. Don't you dare talk to me about waiting... because that is nothing compared to giving you up."

Or in other words, "it killed me, it killed me, it killed me".

[elisi]

Ouch. That is a very painful parallel.

[sea_thoughts]

Sorry not sorry. *grin*
