The Internet reacts to the Twelfth Doctor (from buzzfeed)

Cannot. Stop. Laughing.
I swear I don't get all the people who love to bash, but I don't even care. Hello, Twelve. You're damn sexy and it took you 24 hours to turn me into a melted mess everytime I hear your voice. That's well done =)
That being said… Eleven still gets the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Young, old, ginger, female (some other time?). They're IT.
Also, I should get the hell off LJ and go work now. Really. And I'm so not rewatching this beautiful fucking vid for the seventh time before I go, nope… (Yeah, it's the same [livejournal.com profile] elisi pimped too. SHARE THE LOVE, SHARE THE LOVE!)

(On the family!Who!time board: still watching s1 with my mother, she still enjoys. Bliss!)

The Buzzfeed article is AWESOME. But apparently on tumblr people were bitching that "he's too old"? I don't know, I've mainly been on ONTD, people were so enthusiastic there, and so am I! An older Doctor, yay! (Maybe this says something about me and my preferences. Maybe :P)

Can't wait to watch more The Thick of It. But preparation for job interview. And another job application. And books (currently reading Stephen King's Under the Dome and Roald Dahl's Kiss Kiss). And Rumbelle Magic Mountain smut. Ahum. I didn't say that last one out aloud :P

Good luck with the beta-ing and the proofing, dear! <3

YES! And I BURST OUT LAUGHING because hello, fuckers, wasn't Smith supposed to be too young? :D Seriously. Seriously! Don't be convinced, that's your right and your problem. Mourn Eleven, I'll fully support that. But just don't say stupid stuff like that :D
I was talking to a friend last evening who seemed physically unable to say other things than "he's ugly" (I'M SORRY???), "he's old" and "look at his EARS" and "they can't ship him with Clara". I could have bitten my blanket…
I've only seen reactions on FB (the admins of the DW group I follow are being open-minded but keep telling people to chill and stop bashing, so I'm assuming I'm right not to look at the comments) and LJ (and basically only the person I mentioned in the article, who shared the vid, so positiveness!). I don't want to see more =) I'm in my corner of happiness.
He's PERFECT for an old Doctor. Charismatic and with that gentleman vibe in his looks, yet TOTALLY not a gentleman in The Thick of It apparently. So he can totally pull off both extremes. Besides, the whole point of the Doctor is he's freaking 1000 years old and still a kid at times. Ageless! (Gosh, I just learned that Hartnell was the same age in 1963 though :O I was like "ARE YOU KIDDING". He looks so much older! And he died rather young :( ).
Good luck for the interview and job stuff, and do feed me your feels/reactions when you get 'round to The Thick of It, please :D
Are you enjoying King? Oh, and Kiss Kiss is a collection of short stories, correct? I think the one collection I read was another, but I recognized a few individual titles. They were lovely, as far as I recall :D
Don't be afraid of the smut :D Haha.
And thank you! Lol, I thought that comment would be shorter to reply to. NEVER MIND, GETTING BACK TO WORK SHORTLY :D

jackLOLS

NO MORE SNOG BOX!

(They'll ALLLLLLL have to write Doctor/River, as she's the only one who doesn't look like jailbait, comparatively. Ha! one-nil to marriage!) (I never ship the Doctor with Companions as I find it off-putting and icky.)

Someone needs to make Alex + Capaldi icons or gifs (if it's possible with a gif? =P I'm not very technology-savvy…). Seriously. I would implode. =P

Some *cough*a lot*cough* of people are just never happy, are they?

I hope you immediately discontinued all contacts with that 'friend'? ;)

And yes, better to stick to that corner of happiness!

Don't you mean perfect for an oldER Doctor? ;) Okay, I know that my... preferences increase as I gain a few years here and there myself, but I genuinely don't consider PCAp 'old'. Like you said, I was /shocked/ to find out that Hartnell was the same age when he started out! I thought he was in his seventies!

Thanks dear! I think the interview went quite well. It'll be two weeks before I get a result, so by then I've all but forgotten about it, which is good, cause it's less stressful that way ;)
(One of the people who interviewed me admitted that they agreed to create the traineeship I applied for only AFTER the advert - which announced the traineeship as if it already existed - gained a lot of reactions! :O No wonder it took them THREE MONTHS to get back to me!)

The Thick of It is delicious. I just got the "I'm a shapeshifter" quote, I'm sure you know that one as well ;)

I planned to get my bestie interested in Twelve today, but it turned out that her American cousin was staying over so I ended up playing on the Wii with bestie, her sister and their cousin all afternoon. It was awesome and hilarious, especially when I had to borrow sweat pants and a sport t-shirt from the sister cause the job interview suit I was still wearing hardly allowed for any movement :P

Yes, Kiss Kiss is a collection of short stories. Greatly enjoying it so far. It's macabre in a way stuff like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is as well (all those other kids and their unpleasant endings :P) except now he doesn't have to pretend that his stories are anything but deliciously cruel ;)

Can't wait to make progress on the smut - especially Belle is particularly impatient ;) But I also want to update Recovering, complete an application letter, sort more photographs, read more Kiss Kiss and watch more The Thick of It, and I'm already exhausted. Argh! Ah well, all in good time. At least I don't have to work at the greenhouse anymore.

Good luck with your work, dear!

MOST people are never happy, apparently =D
LOL, I took slow, deep breaths and kept answers to a minimum =P It's not the first thing we disagree on… *sighs*
Yes, of course ;) I don't consider him old as a general rule, but as far as Doctors go. But like you pointed that, that's comparing him to the others, thus older :D And I swear he looks much younger than so many of the classic Doctors…
Two weeks—that means about now, doesn't it? ;P
o.O Oh god! That's… well, basically it's playing with the people who answered the advert taking it seriously and with high hopes, even if they did create it in the end—sounds a bit unprofessional :( Oh well… (And it's really incredible that they ADMITTED IT! I mean, I can imagine their not caring much about the people and just being like oh, we'll see, but saying it outright? Weird.)
I didn't know that quote, just looked it up… :D That show does sound brill!
LOL to playing Wii with a job interview suit!
Yes, I remember the macabre bits as well, I really enjoyed that too!
LOL, I can imagine Belle cannot wait! ;) Good luck with all of that, that's a lot of things! =P ♥
Thanks for the luck ♥

YES CAPALDI! I was so relieved and happy and thrilled when I heard he had been chosen. I still can't believe it!
The reactions were both hilarious and exhausting , but that's fandom for you.
And yes, whatever the Doctor, we love him!
*serious face on* Go work. I shut up... or maybe not because CAPALDI!

It's wonderful! :D I hadn't been following the speculation at all, I just wanted to embrace the one and only Twelve when he was announced, not get all excited about all kinds of people—so I'd heard his name here and there but hadn't really paid attention. I was so happy when I checked him out though, he looks like he'll be great :D
Fandom will be fandom, people will be people… ;)
Will attempt to be productive today ;)

I did not follow any of the speculations and was joking about how I wanted him to be approximately every actor/actress/landmark in the UK. Or Mark Gatiss, who would then undertake to have the whole cast fired to play himself Clara, the Master, River, Vastra and every villain. Only John Barrowman would remain in place, because even evil Gatiss cannot resist Barrowman's charm.

All that to conceal the fact that I was a bit worried Moffat would go for another attractive youngster -he has a tendency to be Hitchcock and hire people he would want to look like or find very attractive. He does make a lot of comments about his cast's appearance... Well.

With Capaldi, I know we're in for an emotional, really crazy ride. He is VERY versatile.

Good luck for your work! I'm progressing with your book -Paul Celan happened in the middle of the process-, still fantastic, I'm savouring it!

LOL to the Mark Gatiss thing! :D Haha, that's hilarious.
Yeah—I'd mostly gotten that impression with the girls, was it the same with Matt and Arthur? =P

*writhes in anticipation*
Besides he's SUCH a passionate Whovian and haha it's wonderful :D Tennant #2…

I'm so happy you're enjoying the book :D Thanks! ♥♥♥

I think Moffat commented on Matt being so attractive and well-dressed, , and considering Arthur is even more of a hipster than Matt...

I'm so happy you're enjoying the book :D Thanks! ♥♥♥
<3 All the love for your novel. Fascinating dynamics between the characters!
