Vid: Just a Girl (Doctor Who)
Crap, I did my vanishing act again, didn't I? I don't know where the last few months have gone.
Long story, real life stuff, all highly dull - I owe emails to people and I am getting round to them, honest. I'm trying to do one overdue task a day rather than planning to do all of them in one day and ending up not doing any for weeks on end. :)
In the meantime, have a vid. (Yes, this is the vid I intended to finish for halfamoon. Only two months late, I count that as a success by my current standards!)
Title: Just a Girl
Music: No Doubt
Fandom: Doctor Who (multi-era)
Summary: Underestimate the women of Doctor Who at your peril.
Length: 3:25
Edited to add note: As a couple of people have commented on the even-handedness between the companions, I feel compelled to add a note saying it's not actually all that even-handed. In fact, there's a couple of companions that are sorely under-represented in this vid, but this is due to lack of useable/viddable footage (or virtually any footage in Vicki's case) rather than my own preferences. :D
If it were down to my own preferences, judging by the first draft this vid would consist entirely of Nyssa and Tegan being awesome, with cameos from Donna, Martha, Zoe and both Romanas. :D But I genuinely love every single amazing woman who's ever travelled with the Doctor and did my best to include them all!

Lyrics:
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me to hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh...I've had it up to here
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fear
'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive late at night
I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes
I'm just a girl, take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh...I've had it up to here
Oh...am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
That's all that you'll let me be
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to Is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Tweedledum there's no comparison
Oh...I've had it up to
Oh...I've had it up to
Oh...I've had it up to here
