13, 33, and 39!

13: A song that reminds you of your current partner/crush

There are So Many, since he and I are both big music people (we got to be close friends through youth choir, after all), so I'll list a couple. Back when he first went away to college, before we were dating, I listened to this on a loop...

...and right when we started dating, he introduced me to this band and this song...

33: A song whose message you don't like

So this German punk band from the 80s did an album lyrically based on A Clockwork Orange. As much as I love some of the songs from the album, I am deeply uncomfortable with the violent lyrical content of this song specifically (which, I suppose, is at least part of the point).

39: Your favorite instrumental

On one hand, I could put a classical piece, but I'll put this instrumental from That Thing You Do! instead.

Jo looked at the Sergeant and shrugged. ‘Do you know what it’s all about?’ asked Benton. ‘Not really,’ she answered. ‘Just that it’s aliens. From outer space.’ Sergeant Benton sighed resignedly. ‘It always is.’ He said.

Tagged by @rose-of-pollux! Four characters that make you go "my man, my man, my man".

Sherlock Holmes (in multiple iterations, especially ACD Canon, but also very much as portrayed by Jeremy Brett). Oh man. I still swoon.

Loki Laufeyson, as portrayed by Tom Hiddleston. From the original version we saw to the variant who became so much more than his Sacred Timeline counterpart ever managed... Your Honor, I love him.

Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith. I just... him.

Captain Georg Von Trapp, Christopher Plummer. I am pretty sure this man was my sexual awakening, so... there you go.

Tagging @thirddoctor, @stlgeekgirl, @johannadc, @loverlylight, and anybody else who wants to do this!

5, 19, 24!

5: TV show of the year?

Psych! I introduced the boyfriend to the show towards the end of last year. We've been watching the show in order and it's been fun to see his reactions to everything. This is also the first time in a while that I've watched the whole show in order, so I'm noticing and appreciating more than I did before. Sadly, we have fewer episodes ahead of us than behind us, so soon we'll be looking for something else to watch.

19: What’re you excited about for next year?

Grad school! I'm going back to college in the spring for my MA. I'm planning on focusing more on medieval literature, and I'm VERY pumped about it.

24: Did you keep any New Year’s Resolutions?

I don't think I did. I had planned to read 20 books in a year, but only made it to 16. I don't think I'll be finishing anything in time for New Year's Day. I'd also planned on reading more books that I actually own before buying any new ones. That went out the window, though I don't regret any of my purchases. Ah, well. There's always next year!

It's Six Sentence Sunday and I have stuff written! First of all a Doctor Who fic I started working on a few days ago focusing on...The Master, specifically Dhawan!Master but if he had been written well, because I liked Missy's character development and I wish that had stuck and I liked the O persona - and very much wished some aspects of that had been kept rather than just making him crazy again (and also the Timeless Child arc remains one of my LEAST favourite in the entire show so I'm gonna be fixing that too.) Here he's trying to do good but obviously still has...quite a lot to work through.

O would like to say he’s never understood racism, but that’s a lie, given how Time Lords saw themselves as superior and it’s taken him far too long to get out of that mindset, so maybe it’s more accurate to say that now he doesn’t understand racism. Whether it’s between species or between members of their own species it’s just…such a small-minded approach to life, and spending years among humanity as a brown man has highlighted this. Most people have been fine with it but others…haven’t.

And humanity never fully outgrows it – there’s always one faction or another who has a problem with those who are different, and it’s a sad fact that this is a universal constant.

On the other hand, what’s also a universal constant is that there’s always plenty of people who stand up to it, and the isolated Terran colonies in the future always end badly, so that cheers him up a lot, especially on days like today where he and his fellow activists have just endured abuse simply for walking down the street.

Three decades from now Australia is returned to its rightful people. That also cheers him up.

He might be on a redemption path, but he's always gonna be a brand of chaotic. Also I'm giving a shout-out to @thirddoctor because their Master posts are amazing, their comments about O were partly what inspired this fic, and they directed me to their other Master meta posts which are gonna be a great help for writing this fic and it should be fun, if a little self-indulgent...but this will make sense once I've written the whole fic. Hopefully.

(Says the person attempting to write a non-linear narrative...)

I'm also taking part in Comfy-vember, a writing event run by the blog of the same name that started this year, and while Flufftober didn't inspire me much this one has - I've only written the one fic but my next one is for Diagnosis Murder.

Jesse was prone to getting into trouble. Steve had know that from the start, ever since the little pest had started getting involved in his investigations and he meant well, Steve knew...but he didn't have a lot of common sense and he was guillable and he'd always, always feared that he was going to get hurt one day, that one day, Steve was going to be too slow to save him...

And he almost had been. He almost had been and now Jesse had a stab wound-

Dad had saved his life and he was recovering at Community General and Steve had been assured that it was simply a matter of waiting for him to wake up - something that shouldn't take too long.

Looking at his best friend lying prone in a hospital bed, this was little reassurance - the guy was normally so full of energy and it was unnatural to see him so still.

And it was his fault, because if he'd only been quicker he'd have taken out Johnson before he ever got a chance to hurt Jesse. Instead he'd busted the door down just in time to see Jesse-

Listen, you gotta have the hurt before the comfort and if there was any character I was gonna whump like this it was Jesse Travis, so I'm not sorry.

Doctor Who & The Doomsday Weapon.

The Doomsday Weapon is another story set in the future by Malcolm Hulke. The year is 2972. Earth has become overpopulated. I liked the idea that when people decide to escape their lives in towns that are cramped, they group together and buy up old spaceships and travel to new planets. We learn that Earth has no animals. Machines do everything for the people there. Marriage is stapling your records together in a personnel file. Walks are a treat you pay for. I liked learning about this future.
