I keep calling your fics lovely, because they are.
This is very special, because it's a moment in time that passes slowly for Jack, and is an important part of Western hisotry, which for Jack is probably a footnote - "Universal Sufferage was achieved on Earth in the early 21st century, the start of the campaign began in the early 19th century, it only took 200 years for humanity to achieve an equal democratic process. By then, however, democracy was dated" Just my own little notion as to what Jack studies while on Boeshane.
Also, this is a riff off "Imagine" isn't it? And if it isn't, it should be :)
This one is... it's special to me because it's one of those times I took Jack to other places, looked outside the box. Lovely is a wonderful description, and I thank you. (And I'm glad that you get this fic, because I'm afraid not everyone will.)
Imagine? I have no clue what you're on about. Something inspired it back in the day, but I can't remember what, now.
Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today etc. etc.
Meeting and being with Yoko Ono did him well in so many ways :) (there's a tv movie about Lennon, called "Lennon Naked" with Christopher Eccelston as Lennon and Naoko Mori as Yoko Ono - it's not brilliant, but what Whovian and Beatles fan can pass up on that :-))
I'm familiar with the song, but no, if anything inspires Jack for me, it's still "Skin", by Beth Hart.
I'm aware of the film, though, and saw the casting choices with glee, but then I never actually caught it as it aired. Must hunt it down some day when I've got two spare seconds or something :).
(Naoko Mori, omg, still makes me go, "Because you're breaking my heart," at every turn. Never managed to forget how she broke my heart when she said that line.)
I liked this, and was very glad she left at the end. I was thinking about how many of the suffragettes believed that men's lust and sexually transmitted infections were the cause of the world's problems. Still women having been blamed for all the STI's until that point, it was at least a sort of backlash. (Ever read anything about Cristobel Pankhurst? )
I think ideally Jack would have got on well with suffragettes, and later feminists, but then he actually behaves like a Victorian man in some ways as well.
You know, this came about in part because so often, people presume that the 20th century was "enlightened" without realising that a lot of it was steeped in religion and bad science. So while Jack definitely would feel more at home with the feminists (because he doesn't understand inequality) but fundamentally, the distance between them is still very long.
