Pair ups from different fandoms I want to see:

Truth-telling deathmatch: Cal Lightman (Lie to Me) vs Patrick Jane (The Mentalist)
The Good Ship Awkward: Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) & Ianto Jones (Torchwood)
Sci-Fi Superheroes: Darien Fawkes (Invisible Man) & Jack Harkness (Torchwood) with an option to make it a holy crime fighting threesome with the addition of either Benton Fraser or Ray Kowalski (Due South)
Snark Techs: Eli Loker (Lie to Me) & Topher Brinks (Dollhouse). Xander Harris (Buffy) might fit in here.

I've been embroiled in vids - I'm working on my third dark one and decided I should prove to myself that I can do something happy and silly, so I quickly dashed together this:



Find more videos like this on BAM Vid Vault


We also shared a few favourite TW vids on twitter yesterday but today I keep rewatching this Iron Man one even though I haven't actually seen Iron Man yet, because it's pretty much awesome.

Sometime I will probably do a Mentalist vid. Right now though I'm working on Liontamer and getting clips together for Englishman in New York (for Ianto) so it can wait.


For several hours yesterday, amusingly, someone had vandalised the wikipedia article on Ianto Jones to say that he was the "Sex God" of Torchwood Three and later became the love interest of the series' [vandalist's name], though we changed the last bit to the love interest of the series' pterodactyl and coffee machine. There's an off-the-cuff secret roleplaying Jack and Ianto on twitter as well and Ianto was very amused, especially when later someone fixed the article, but changed the first line to state that Ianto Jones was a non-fictional character.

I took my bunny for a run outside yesterday, after a while he flopped down and we had a lie down on the grass, it was nice. Been looking at outdoor hutches. After he's neutered it would be nice to get him a friend, not sure what my parents would say though - suspect they'd only agree if I kept them outside. He is quite moody at the moment due to hormones so I've been trying to teach him to be nice, he used to be such a little angel too. Hopefully he'll calm down after neutering though - and either way he is still lovely most of the time.

Got recced on torchwood_house with my post-Journey's End fic of all things. Explains why I had like eight new reviews on a fic I wrote a few months ago. Have to dig out the refill I was scribbling on on the bus last night to type things up. And figure out what I'm cooking for dinner. Mostly I just want to lie down and not think. No chance of that though so considering going to Eastgate for excessive amounts of candy and a bottle of midori.

Might take fluffernutter outside again too - must try and remember camera this time if I do.

Commenting too much work but omnomnom to sab and mangoz.

David: So they have no unmounted police?
Stephen: Well I dunno--
David: That must be difficult on raids in small flats. 'Ow, my head!'
Rich: You should see the squad cars. They're a mess, David, they are a mess.
David: Try and chase a heroin addict up a small staircase on a horse, it's ridiculous.
Alan: All the heroin addicts would know to head for the small staircases.
David: It's like trying to police a country with daleks.
Rich: Which would never work with the disabled access we have now, the daleks can get everywhere.
David: Are you saying that you think that disabled access is a dalek conspiracy?
RIch: .....Yes. That is exactly what I'm saying.

Good lord that meta got out of hand. Thinking way too much when I should be working on my prompt for the 10th.

Apparently RTD has said that the events of CoE will not be acknowledged in the last two Dr Who specials of this year.

All I can think is that this will make it easier for me to pretend it never existed.

lefaym is a lot more coherent about why it's just another kick in the teeth.

What it says on the tin.

my poor feet. I've been running errands and walking too much D:

my rabbit tried to hide the nail clippers from me. NICE TRY, BUNNY.

I'm watching Old Who. :D Tom Baker's first episode. SO RIDIC. Sarah Jane, so nosy. And silly. She's like "THE ROBOT HAS FEELINGS." And UNIT's security is for shit, I have to say.

eta:
Hahaha fucker, GUILTY.

That happened.



I hurt. I feel utterly broken into pieces. Don't know what I'm doing now. It was hard enough to write yesterday and it should have been better today but it's like... I don't know. I said I didn't want my tv to apologise for how the world was, but. That wasn't even my show.

GUYS I'M SO DRUNK.

MOTHERFUCKING TURCHWAD.

so it's like quarter to eleven and I was thinking I should go to bed soon, and then I thought I should give Holly some more food. So I opened his cage and he went "o thx!" and jumped out. And now he's running around having a grand old time rubbing his chin on things and occasionally coming over to lick my leg and he just makes me smile.

I also broke my not-writing-things spree and finished a fic, though I may write a smutty coda, and then I have my Ianto/Jenny follow up to write. Plus there's the potential for Torchwood Five ridiculousness (though today's new canon implies that T5 is - was, rather - Torchwood India. I don't care, James Goss, I had http://www.torchwoodfive.co.cc already.). And apparently my father, my older brother and I all have the same sweater because it's fleece lined and warm and only cost $37 even if the smallest size they had was a men's M which is way too big for me. I don't care. I'm wearing another style in a men's S right now, which is just plain too big, but I kind of like being swamped in oversized sweaters and shirts.

More spoilers zomg. I'm not doing one of these for Into the Silence because I just... didn't take any notes when I was reading it. It was good, but of the three it was the weakest, I think, though it may just be that it was the most Gwen-heavy and I wanted more Ianto.

( SPOILZ I HAZ THEM )

Holly broke into my shopping and stole my parsley.

And now he's looking at me funny coz I'm cracking up at something that just happened in the last ep of Sarah Jane Adventures.

I'm watching the first ep of The Sarah Jane Adventures (and I kind of want to icon Alan and Maria Jackson and maybe Kelsie for random ethnic goodness) but I have to say.... "Okay, we've just moved in, I'm suddenly a solo dad for the first time - of course, the first thing I'm going to do is let my child run off into town with a random kid who just turned up at the doorstep who I haven't been introduced to or anything!" She didn't even freaking ask permission or tell him she was going until he stopped them to say goodbye.

The first conversation between Alan and Sarah Jane was pretty hilarious though. "Thanks for making us feel welcome!"

how can such a teeny animal, that in and of itself doesn't actually make any noise louder than a murmur except when screaming in extreme pain, be so noisy? it's the thumping and clomping... the websites on rabbit communication say they thump when there's danger to alert the rest of the warren (/people), but holly has not read these websites. he thumps to tell me he's bored of his cage now and wants to come out. today it was at 8am, but he's done it at 4am before. and then he runs around going "clomp clomp clomp" all over the floor. i also have a fairly impressive bruise on the inside of my forearm where he was giving me lovebites.

though somehow unexpectedly expensive / unexpectedly noisy / expectedly messy / occasionally painful with affection < FUZZY AND DARLING. especially coz he is alive and able when by all rights he shouldn't be.


have been playing sims - the doctor set the kitchen on fire once already and keeps burning his food, took many days to find a job and is generally a rather incompetent father, while jenny has top marks, more friends than him and is capable of actually cooking a meal - and working through the completed fic from tardis big bang. novella-length torchwood fic for the yay! and, you know, basically guaranteed that they're going to be of decent quality, unlike some of the many-short-chaptered epics that get posted to the fic comms I'm on.

i should really be writing my own fic. have to figure out how they track their dude down for the chase scene and get into jack's headspace for the swimming bit.

First off, I finished reading Skypoint today, which means I've basically read all the tie-in novels except for Slow Decay, and I have the three that are coming out soon pre-ordered.

Mostly, though, I've dug out my Sims game again. 2, not 3, because I'm not cool enough (I need an Intel duo core processor, which I decidedly do not have - but then again, I shouldn't even be able to run Sims 2 on this machine, let alone the four or five expansions I have installed.)

Much of the neighbourhood is comprised of myriad characters from RP games in the HPverse, but today I was mostly focused on the Jones house, which is home to: Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones, who are going steady but definitely not engaged or married kthx - Jack has the popularity aspiration and his lifetime want is to reach the top of athletics career, and Ianto has fortune/business. Martha Jones has the knowledge aspiration and is going for the top of medicine, though she has already been fired once (don't drive ambulances on the footpath, kids) and then stayed in the hot tub too long, overheated, set herself on fire and died. Luckily!!!! Ianto ran downstairs and begged for her life. She was very grateful. Also Owen and Toshiko Harper (who aren't married, I just couldn't be fucked messing around to get Tosh's surname right) - Owen has knowledge and wants to be a mad scientist and Tosh has fortune (IIRC?) solely so her lifetime want can be maxing the criminal career. Aside from Martha being a tool with no self-preservation, things are going pretty well, with no unexpected offspring, etc.

Then this evening I started the Who house as well, which, obviously, is the Doctor and Jenny (Tennant's version, though Sims 2 is still pretty shoddy for recreating faces on). Jenny's only a teenager so she's gonna have to go to school, and her aspiration is pleasure - her lifetime want is 50 first dates but I'm gonna change that coz it's fucking impossible. The Doctor's aspiration is knowledge (of course) and his lifetime want is to reach the top of - get this - adventurer career. So perfect. I couldn't actually remember if that career was even tied to an aspiration and was going to reroll it until I got Mad Scientist, but I like how it is. All that's actually happened at that house so far is a pillow fight, the Doctor failing to find a job in the paper, and Jenny settling down to study cooking.

I'm about to go to bed though and while I'm waiting for sleep I'm gonna try and focus on, like, solidifying plot and shit. So that I can write more. Coz I want to finish my stories.
