I thought this before I saw any of Eleven's episodes. I had only seen pictures and tumblr gifs and read bits and pieces on tvtropes and stuff so I was *trying* to keep and open mind...but inside I was going "no way I just can't there's no way I could ever feel like he's the Doctor! I just can't wrap my mind around it! Maybe I'll be able to *tolerate* him..."

And then about two minute into "The Eleventh Hour" I was going "OH LOL WHOOPS SORRY LEMME TAKE THAT BACK" because WOW I was head over heels in love pretty much immediately, despite eye-rolling a good fifteen times throughout the episode at Moffat's general gender-fail and scariness try-hardism.

Should've seen it coming, since I had the exact same "no wai I can't possibly accept him!" followed by near-immediate "lol totes lovestruck!" reaction when I first saw one of Ten's episodes after only seeing Nine before.

So....maybe it's just a lightbulb thing? A Doctor has to kind of click into place firmly in your head to like him, and if something stops it (like, say, Moffat's goddamn writing), it's just very difficult to overcome because you keep comparing that incarnation to all the other incarnations...

For just a moment, when I saw that someone had replied as anon, I was a bit intimidated and concerned that I was gonna get it. :)

I didn't mean it to be unkind or biased in any way, it just warms me to the depths of my heart and I wanted to share it.

Thank you for commenting.

<3 That's the only time I remember being really blindsided by a plot twist.

Hate to tell you, but studies show that men and women /do/ have preferences that are more prevalent in one gender than in another. Women /do/ prefer cooperative practices. Women often recognize landmarks, where-as men tend to have a better navigational sense. Men see puzzles differently than women do as far as placement of essential objects versus women who identify characteristics of specific objects.

This is not an inherently bad thing, and of course there are no universals, no black and whites. However, there /are/ differences among the sexes. To deny that is to deny reality and is ultimately foolish.

Here are a few articles if you're interested in the study.

http://www.healthguidance.org/entry/13967/1/Problem-Solving--Differences-Between-Men-and-Women.html

Of course, the field is changing all the time as we learn new things, and maybe you'll find something that disagrees with me. That's the fun of it :)!

Just know that differences aren't an inherently bad thing. And they don't signify one gender as less equal than the other anymore than one person being great at math is superior to a person who is great at writing. They're just different is all.

I MISSED THE ENTIRE THING. I wish I could have at least woken up and write something, but nope. I was too busy looking at the moon and the stars from my moving van while hurtling to Mount Bromo to watch the sunrise at the summit.

It's now 10:48 am and I feel... conflicted. On one hand, I missed the most amazing thread I ever read. On the other, I rode a horse to the very rim of the Tengger Caldera and rode through the dawn across the foggy Sand Sea to witness the most amazing view I ever had in my life.

I am very conflicted right now. :(

Eh, don't worry about it. Honestly I would try to find things outside of a computer to enjoy. Fandom can be fun for sure, but it's a fleeting thing and kind of repetitive. Once a show ends most people just move on. It makes me a little sad and it's nice when your favorite old show gets revived because then you have people around you to share that joy with, but other than that typically people don't keep in touch too often. Fandom is something to come back to and it might be a bad idea to invest yourself too much into it emotionally. It can blind you to other great experiences and opportunities that might come your way.

MTE. ;___;

Not to be creepy or anything, but I missed your posts. :) Glad you're feeling better!

To my dearest, starry-eyed Anon,

There comes a come in every anon's life where she or he is overcome by a certain character. A character who makes you feel special inside, a character who you soon develop an unhealthy obsession with in the name of love.

There are many ways an anon such as yourself may deal with this blooming season of your life.

The first is to find the actor (Ben Whishaw) and study the other medias his elven features have graced. Including the TV series "The Hour", the films "Perfume", "Bright Star" and "Cloud Atlas".

Then you will journey onwards to tumblr, where you capability in using language and sentence structure will dribble out your ears, and be replaced with "feels". But, there you will gain many pictures and many more blushing anons such as yourself.

And finally, when you are ready, you will frolic through the fields of fanfiction and wonder how you ever loved a character more than when they are being tortured, crying or, strangely enough, being in a relationship with another man.

Ahh~ to be young again.

I wish you luck anon!

*flees into the night*

Yes! ♥

I know how you feel! I'm not that big into Jeff/Annie or Jeff/Britta (okay, so sometimes I am into Jeff/Britta), and I've found a lot of fans of both Annie and Britta ship them with Jeff. I want to see more Annie and Britta friendship shenanigans, tbh.

I would seriously love for this to happen but I get the feeling the writers are going to avoid too much of that.

I have enjoyed most of their relationship development though. I love how she's such a great match for Sheldon.

Everything in Holes! <3

Hey man, no shame. I don't listen to them much anymore myself, but Venus Doom will always be one of my favorites.

I may or may not have also shipped it, but I'm over it, haha.

So your link reminded me how much fun that used to be when I had it a while ago. So I got it again, largely to doodle on this page. : )

~~Yes, I'm a dork.~~

I remember when Susan Boyle was just starting to get famous my dad walks into the living room and goes "Have you heard about this woman who got famous on Britain's Got Talent? She's so amazing at singing, even though she's UGLY!" Then he started calling her stupid for not dressing better.

Well, that's a silly idea. It's your own sex drive, so shouldn't it follow that you don't have to "peak" in your thirties if you don't want to or don't feel like it?

Ouch! That does not sound pleasant. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I'm not 100% positive, but I think how it works is that authors are paid movie rights upfront, so she's already got her money regardless of whether or not you see the movie. I'm not sure they get a cut of box office sales.

Is this Heavy Rain, or is there some other game with this twist I should know about?

On the other, I rode a horse to the very rim of the Tengger Caldera and rode through the dawn across the foggy Sand Sea to witness the most amazing view I ever had in my life.

That sounds amazing. Best possible reason to miss out on FS fun!

So I loved "Children of Men" (film where everyone stops being able to have kids)

and I'm wondering if there are any more like it? Not just films but books or tv shows? Anything to do with mass infertility and then the few children left being precious/having to be stolen from other worlds or whatever.

I just think it's a fascinating idea: the bad guys just want to be parents. (obviously not the case in Children of Men, but in my ideal media)

Most of the fandom friends I've had over the years have come from either a) my guild on Neopets, or b) commenting on their fics and AMV's.

Oh yes I've always thought the Three/Four and Five/Six contrast was genius and Eleven's love for silliness and his whole Stepford Space Gandalf mask was totally a way to cope with all the shit that Ten didn't cope with so well, 'cause Ten was so hot-blooded and was so bowled over with feelings and always hit the wall when something bad happened...which was obviously really painful for him a whole lot of the time.

Holy crap. I'll add my voice to the chorus of "glad-you're-back"s, and especially that you're back in better health.

Uh..."sexual peak" refers to when one's libido is the highest, which is not something that a person generally has any control over. It's not related to how much sex you choose to have (other than, a raging libido might have you choosing to have more sex).
