Holy fucking *shit*. This is the most amazing piece of Doctor Who fanart I've seen in a long time.

Madame Vastra & Jenny in the style of an antique Japanese print.

Absolutely exquisite.

I'm probably the last person on the internet to discover this, but...

DYING OF LAUGHTER.

ETA: Still find the fandom versions insanely unfunny, though.

Via reasonabsurd: Jersey Shore Gone Wilde. Lines from Jersey Shore performed in the style of Oscar Wilde. Pure fucking genius. <3

Come to think of it, it's probably only a matter of time before they make a Finnish version, since Geordie Shore exists already. Korso Shore?

Also, happy Beltane eve to everyone. Daemons marathon tiem?

Philip Glenister reads a bedtime story. About a boy called Tyler. Who hangs out with fairies. And I'd love to say it's as hilarious as it sounds, but no. It's even more hilarious than it sounds.

(And yup, that's the full version. Finally.)

-I'm bored, so I've been playing with this text-to-speech generator. It's one of the better ones out there. Pasting in fanfic is most amusing. The pornier the better. (Strangely enough, the animated woman on the page is tarted up like a pornstar O_O... that kind of adds to the experience). It's weird hearing Doctor Who fic read out in American ( Read more... )

John Simm on Radio 4.

Interview with John about Hamlet. His bit starts about 18:30 in. Try not to eat or drink anything when you get to the part with Philip Glenister’s good luck card. <3

And oh, his rumbly voice. <333333333333333333333333 *swoons* The Who clip is especially disturbing. I keep forgetting how breathy he sounds as the Master--I ( Read more... )

A Partial Map of Your TARDIS (Subject to Change)CHECK THIS OUT. OH GOD. It's a map of the TARDIS, and just as fascinating and bizarre and impossible as the Whoverse itself. Shit, man, check it out even if you're not a Whovian, because this is a thing of beautiful science fiction/fantasy in and of itself. The graphic design on this thing is ( Read more... )

-There's a poetry festival on in Lahti this week. And apparently some Finnish dude is going to be reciting Abu Nuwas. Holy shit. I'm wondering whether I should go. Could be amusing. Just to see how much bumming he's left in or will be leaving out;)

-Guy Love. Between the Doctor and the Master. This fucking song.<3 It's been stuck in my head for a ( Read more... )

I've just discovered the Blacas Ewer! It has loads of engravings illustrating scenes from 1200s Persia and thus offers lots of information on what life was like back then. And guess what? It has a picture of a prince hunting with a cheetah:D. There's a hound (probably a kind of Saluki) running around and being distracted by a bird, but the cheetah ( Read more... )
