Ahum, hi? So basically I've had a bunch of icons lying around for months that I'd never gotten around to finishing, so I tweaked them a bit lately and here you go. ^_^ Most of these are from the Five era, with a few of late!Four (the Adric days, with Romana and Ainley!Master), a few from Husbands of River Song and a few of the delicious Bedelia du Maurier from Hannibal.

Love to everyone! *waves*

Look, there be icons! I know it took forever but at least I got to that Second Doctor post EVENTUALLY. Here they are: Two, Ben, Polly, Jamie, Victoria, Zoe and the Brig. Snag if you like and credit flowsoffire or eyes_afire pretty please, let me know if you like/which you like best, etc. They are nothing much but I had fun making them. Now I can move on to Three, though it should be slow as always.

18 usual icons, 18 b&w alternates because old!Who is a thing :)

Well, that is another much-belated review. But a delightful Master story! Seeing the Doctor and Jo pay a visit to an imprisoned Master was pretty much the best thing ever. I quite loved the two sides of that—first, the pretence of a reformed and pretty much overpowered Master, guarded by a staff that had been trained to resist his hypnosis. (His intense hypnotism face went almost cross-eyed. XD His frustrated face wasn't bad either.)

Quick review, yes!

That's right, here is an exceptionally fast review :D Five days for a six-part episode. Being up to date with fandom does that. ♥

God! I thought I'd never get around to posting those. Well, the initial plan was a big batch of all companions for One, Two and Three. That… *laughs* did not happen. Yet. But I'm honestly getting so sick of things lagging, I decided I might as well show my One icons now, and the rest will come sometime later. It's been five months since I last posted icons, for god's sake =P

Without further ago, here goes:

Well, here goes. Enjoy =) Please drop me a comment if you like them and wish to take any of them, and you can credit flowsoffire or eyes_afire if needed. Thanks :)

And I've reached it! Or I've reached them, I should say: Jo Grant, Mike Yates, and the Master :D The (new) cast pretty much made this episode. There is Jo, who is the adorablest little cutie. So different from Liz, enough that they just don't compete: Jo is the sweetest, Liz was epic and their brilliance just coexists. So yes, Jo makes quite the lovely new companion, and I want to squish her.

There is also Yates, so is great—very fun, and he has an excellent dynamic with Jo! I may ship them a wee bit. They are sweet together; she's already calling him Mike and he calls her "love" and calls her out on pouting like a child about things. And he made her cocoa; since the First Doctor and Cameca, we are aware of the implications of cocoa on one's love life. They are babies and that's it. (Also, the cocoa was plot-relevant! I love it when that stuff happens.)

Then, there was Delgado, who I'm quite enjoying so far :) Smooth, lots of presence, and I'm longing for more screentime between him and the Doctor but their one-liners about each other have been good so far. Also, we got to see his TARDIS! And it was a motor horse box! And now it's stuck on Earth! Squee. The Doctor seemed so pleased about tricking him like that, and so casually looking forward to seeing him again, it was rather cool.

Besides, the episode had Autons, and mostly plastic daffodils and a very ugly dwarf statuette as weapons of mass destruction. Yeah, the character made the whole thing. XD

Hello, there! Well, once I was done with my rewatch of s1 of new!Who I drifted back to classics and the episode I'd started back in December already, so you get a review now that I have a minute and totally don't have 128 emails sitting in my inbox, shhh. This was a nice episode, and all Silurians aren't as sexy as Vastra, but never mind that. XD In some ways the plot is shockingly similar to the new!Who version with the Hungry Earth/Cold Blood two-parter, with the dormant Silurians coming awake, the peaceful leader vs. the fighty ones who despised humans and went around calling them apes (already :D), the humans choosing the very worst place to put a factory on top of, the Doctor playing peacemaker and trying to get Silurians and humans to just get on with it and share the bloody planet already, the "We were here first! Your claim is irrelevant!" argument and I'll end it there, because well, it ends there. That's enough parallels already.

I've done it! I've finished watching the War Games ♥

Oh, dear god. Well, where shall I start? The ep was very interesting, of course—humans stolen from their time zones and brought together to be used for war, all the while believing they were still in their own world—but let's face it, all throughout I was on the edge of my seat squealing everytime there was a reference to the Time Lords. It was awesome. It started with a trial, as it would end. There were random Roman soldiers and hypnotizing glasses and brainwashing machines and truth machines that were really fascinating to see in action. There was the use of Mr. John Smith and the sonic screwdriver. There were girl power moments and Zoe kicking ass and Zoe and Jamie being unbearably cute. AND THERE WERE TIME LORDS. The War Chief really looked like one incarnation of the Master whose name I fail to remember at the moment for some reason, and his plans of dominion and peace over the universe were brilliant. Those Time Lords never fail to have vision ;) His confrontations with the Doctor—awesome. Just awesome. I LOVED how lost and utterly all over the place the Doctor seemed at the mere notion of facing the Time Lords, all those desperate attempts to run away. (NB: the War Chief was killed and did not regenerate. Canon in progress, continuity is not a thing…)

The trial was brilliant. The Time Lords' mix of utterly calm and peaceful appearance/behaviour and incredible mind powers was a fair bit chilling. And such irony by the end—the Doctor pretending he was only going to get a scolding, assuring he wouldn't forget Jamie and Zoe and vice versa, while knowing what was going to happen to them, but reassuring them all the same ♥ Jamie and Zoe sent back to their worlds, only remembering one adventure with him, never their whole connection… I teared up a bit. So bittersweet. And his horror at the thought of exile on Earth, oh dear. I am just so full of emotions about all of this ♥♥♥

I just can't believe it. Two is done. Three and Liz and Spearhead from Space are next. And NaNo starts tomorrow. Holy shit. XD

Love y'all ♥
