Five things meeeeme

[snowgrouse]

lonemagpie asked me about these. And I apologise if I sound lame if I bring in stereotypes to do with... whatever. It's hard to discuss some things without them, though, even though I'm not very keen on shoving people or animals into neat little categories. But anyway. Blather follows.

Dear god, batchippers need to be drowned in various lakes. Repeatedly. Rose has nothing on most Oldskool companions and that's a fact. There are, of course, some Oldskool stories that are rubbish, but in general, it kicks the arse of the new series. At least the old companions had, y'know, CHARACTER and actually showed up with those big damn knives/Nitro-9/big brains when they *first appeared*, not later and not because all they wanted was the Doctor's wuuub. Ace would make Rose cry. And then Leela would chop off her head and use it as a bowling ball.

And some of the most interesting people are the scariest, yes. Not too long ago, I would go into panic attacks at just *seeing* versaphile around, and now we're creating epic fic together and shit. Not that we don't have our Issues and clashes, still, but anyway. It is a bit depressing sometimes when almost all the really cool people are prone to emo and panic and are socially clumsy and more than a bit crazy in the head. Seems like that's the price to pay for being sensitive and artistic and intelligent, really.

And AINLEY. *sigh* The velvet. The *velvet*. The piercing blue eyes. GAH. And Anthony in general... I miss him so damn much, because he was the best con guest ever. Ever. He really enjoyed the company of his fans, wasn't full of himself and was such a gentleman and so charming and lovely and *sigh*.

Srsly. There is a reason I fell headlong in love with Tegan Jovanka for being a fellow "mouth on legs" - she was sassy and funny and took the piss out of the Doctor and flew the TARDIS in Castrovalva and she didn't do it for the tiemcock. Same with Ace. And Sarah Jane. And Liz Shaw, whom I am bitterly disappointed is not in more episodes.

I fully support this notion. I suggest we also let Romana have a go - I suspect she'd find Rose utterly hilarious.

Isn't that the way it always goes? carla_scribbles and I started like that, too, all nervous of each other, and now busy emailing each other highly-stylized RPF banter and porn that will never see the light of day. We're also kind of not-right in the head, but all the best people have that problem.

The velvet. The *velvet*.

The velvet was lovely, but I am well-known for swooning over him in suits (*coughs* The King's Demons and Survival *cough*). There is just something about a gorgeous and smart and talented man in a well-tailored three-piece suit.

The piercing blue eyes.

I believe my first reaction upon seeing this shot was "OH HOLY SHIT, NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE BLUE EYES", and promptly having to go flail at Em over it. Outrageously talented and attractive blue-eyed men and me? Long and storied history. Ask me about the time I met Clancy Brown and got so tongue-tied I could only squeak.

Also, I am so beyond jealous that you met Anthony Ainley at a con. I don't think there are words to describe just how very awesome that is. And it makes my heart smile to hear that he was just as charming and sweet and genuine in real life that I'd hope he would have been. It sucks when you meet people you admire and they turn out to be assholes.

TEEEGS. Teegs was arguably one of the companions who did have a thing for the Doctor, but at least she didn't *start out* that way. And she bitched all the way and called the Doctor on his shit. Which is what we need more of now, kthx. And people slag Sarah Jane off for supposedly not having been all that good in oldskool, which I just do not fucking get. She takes the piss out of Four all the time and stands up to Three being all fatherly at her and and and SHE IS JUST AWESOME.

Romana would give an aloof look as Ace and Leela butchered Rose. And once they're finished and have thrown Rose's remains out of the airlock, they'll have a steamy lesbian orgy. Because I say so.

Doing back-and-forth RPF is fucking beautiful. Well, I'd lie if I said chatporn didn't make me happy, because it fucking well does. It's one of the most beautiful things ever. To get that immediate response from a friend and see if what you just said made them go "unf" or "holy fuck, I need new knickers".

And UUUUNFUNFUNFUNF, Ainley in suits! *LICKS HIM ALL OVER* I love the raw silk on the Survival one. Apparently Ainley loved it, too. And three-piece suits are the best. Which is why I love Daaaaaave for digging them. There's just something wonderfully elegant and gentlemanly and refined and smart and *sexy* about them.

Ainley was amazing:(. His autograph queues were the longest because he took time to chat with everyone, ask where they were from, how long they'd travelled, how they were doing and everything. He would go on signing well after others had finished. And he always offered fans Murray Mints. Soooo many cult actors are just dicks and will scribble their name down for you quickly, but he always made everyone feel special. I may have been at a slight disadvantage, though, since I met him in 2001 and 2002 and amongst the ~300 attendees of those cons, there were only about three or four females at each. Ainley was always glad to see female fans and was as flirty as fuck and so charming. Bastard kissed my hand. And unexpectedly *knelt at my feet* and I have photographic evidence of such and I think my life was complete when that happened. He would do unexpected, cheeky acts of chivalry and yet have this very, *very* naughty grin on his face, those blue eyes narrowed at you and oh god I AM RAMBLING NOW BUT I STILL FUCKING WIBBLE THINKING ABOUT THAT.
