Hello FanStuffs, Goodbye Money: This Is My Cup Of Tea

I'm too tired not to find this hilarious.

** I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID TO SAY THINGS**

Prepare yourself for me sounding like a low budget commercial.

As you know, I'll be doing a giveaway here in a bit for the one year anniversary of the blog, and I had decided a while back to do tea or coffee for my next giveaway.

I remembered that Adagio Teas makes fandom teas, so I went over to give them a look.

It's amazing.

They not only have fandom teas, but they have collections. And ships. You can ship the teas with other teas. And you get 10% off if you buy two teas that are in a ship together. And they have framed sets, so you can put them in your house. I cannot contain all of my happy. You got a fandom? They've probably got a tea. Buffy, Supernatural, Sherlock, Doctor Who... the list goes on. And on. You may be asking yourself, "Self? What if they don't have a tea for my fandom? Or they do and I don't like it?" You can make them. You can make your own teas. It's a dream come true.

I think this is a wonderful thing. Not just because you can sit down after a long day and have a big cup of Castiel, although that is a plus. But because that means that the fandoms are spreading out into the world. Into other things and places. Beyond the reach of the internet and into a corporeal space.

Love me a corporeal space.

The link to the main site is here, the link to the fandom page is here, and I'll be all the way over here with the order form. 'Cause I needz it.

Ride On!

As it is the most traveled day in the year, I decided to do my post on horses. Cuz, ya know, horses being one of the first forms of transportation and all.  It started out pretty normal.

Normal for us anyway.

Now, we have Susan. I love Susan, and respect his life choices.

Then it got horrible. Get it? Like as in Doctor Horri--forget it.

(Source)

Then, after while... It...I...

I don't understand, and I don't care. I just want to bask in the glory of the Rainbow Mer-Horse. I am a changed human being. Ride on, fanlings. Ride on.

Orson Pink: WhatUpWithHim?

(Source)

You know how in my last post I said, "I don't know. I don't know a lot of things. Anyway, it's bloody late, I'm done, and I'll see you Sunday. Or I won't. I don't know that either."

Well. We all know how that one worked out.

Blame the five year old I was watching. I do.

Spoilers for the DW finale, by the by.

Sadly, Danny Pink is no more. Which raises the question: Orson Pink: WhatUpWithHim?

As you may remember, Orson is the descendant of Danny Pink. But Danny is dead. So...? How's that gonna work?

My and my mum's theory is that Clara is pregnant, and that's why she's leaving the companion life behind. Or is she? Either way, I'll just be happy when she's gone.

Other theories include cloning, Danny having a secret family, and whole bunch of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff that I don't understand.

If you have a theory, please do tell. Now I'm off, much like Orson. Only, I'm not leaving to time travel, I'm leaving to make lunch.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello FanStuffs, Goodbye Money: All I Want For Christmas Is FANDOM

***I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID TO SAY THESE THINGS***

A lot of holidays are coming. Soon. TO A THEATER NEAR YOU. Whether it be for Christmas, Hanukkah,Yule, Hogmany, or Boxing Day, buying things for the ones you love (or hate the least) is an important part of the end months. Why? Monkey Rabbits if I know.

And yet, it is a thing.

One problem of the holiday season is finding things for those you love, that they will love, that don't happen to be socks. 'Cause everybody loves socks. In this post, I have compiled a list of things you may want to buy for your Fandom people, or vice versa. Onward!

Formidulosus Sundays: Top Five Scariest DW Baddies

Hello! My laptop is fixed! Go laptop!

Annoucement: My posts will be coming later in the day until at least the end of the month. I was going to church at 8:00am (ugh), but I'm going later now and by the time I get home, have lunch, take a nap, and write a post, it's later in the day. Just keep that in mind.

STUFF OF NIGHTMARES
(Source)

This post is purely my opinion; YMMV. Who knows, you might be terrified by The Adipose. No judgment. It's escalators for me. Stairways to hell. And when an up escalator and a down one cross next to each other in midair? Portal to hell. Straight to the pit. Adam expressway. *shivers*

Anyway. To the other things that give me nightmares! 1-least nightmare-y, 10-most nightmare-y, (Escalators are about a 14 on my personal scale.)

(Source)

 5. Daleks

The Daleks don't scare me that much. Not the robots anyway. The little octo-alien thing that lives on the inside? That's just... Ew.

And beside just being icky, the whole idea is very interesting. It's odd to think of one of the most feared beings in the universe as a squishy space octopus. The exterminator of worlds is squishy.

Nightmare scale:
1----^-----|----------10---(escalators)

4. The "Love & Monsters" green thing

I don't know what the species of this thing is.

I don't want to.

As you may have gathered, I'm a pretty independent person. I don't want to be sucked up by a big green thing. It would be one thing if he were nice, but he treats his body-faces horribly.

Nightmare scale:
1---------^|----------10---(escalators)

3. The Silence


Why am writing about a blank pictue?

I hate forgetting things. I do. It's one of thoses things that just bugs me.

It's in my brain... somewhere.

And that there may or may not be a thing that can make you forget. No. Nope. DO NOT WANT. 

Nightmare scale:
1----------|---^------10---(escalators)







2. The "Are you my mummy?" kid

(Source)

This is the alien that I had nightmares about as a little kid. I had really bad separation anxiety as a kid, so not being able to find my mummy was something that I was legit worried about. Not being able to find my mummy on an escalator? Real. Life. Tartarus.

Nightmare scale:

1. The weeping angels

I would tell you about the fact the I still have nightmares about these, but I'm too BUSY NOT BLINKING NOPE NOPE AHHHH ASDFGHJKL

Season Premiere Preparedness Package Giveaway! Whooo!

This free stuff is Freeman approved.
(Source)

So I was watching the Doctor Who 12th Doctor/Season 8 premiere, with my blanket, chocolate, popcorn, and box of Kleenex for the inevitable tears. And I was thinking, this is what every fanperson needs before the start of a new season. With Supernatural coming in October, the fall lineup, and a Sherlock Christmas Special, we need to start prepping now. Like yesterday. We only have a mere 400+ days to batten down the metaphorical hatches for the new season of Sherlock! How will we be ready in just over a year? Anyway, back to free stuff.

I'm giving away a Season Premiere Preparedness Package! Whooo! Yay! Happy dance! Amongst the things you shall receive are:

1. One (1) new, unopened box of Kleenex. Not the one in the pic though. That one was recommissioned during the plague. One just like it, but less snotty. (Pattern may vary.)

2. One (1) Pinzon Velvet Plush Throw in Spa Green. It sayeth "Spa Green" but I see "Swamp Monster Tears." It's machine washable and it measures 50 by 60 inches. And it looks fluffy. Flufffffyy.

3. One (1) 11 oz bag of fun size M&Ms. They're chocolate. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. I'm really not sure how to explain M&Ms.

4. One (1) box of Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter popcorn. It has 3 bags in the box. Enough for the whole family. Or just you, if you don't feel like sharing.

This is the part where I say something witty. "Something witty." There. Done.

Doctor Who Headcanon, Involving Face Caterpillars

(11 pic from here, 12 pic from here, edit by me.)

I have a theory. A headcanon. A possible occurrence of events that may or may not have happened. A thing I thought up, basically.

After having such a young doctor, the writers chose an older, more mature, less bowtie-y doctor for the next regeneration. Twelve has the things that 11 didn't. In that same respect, 11 had things that 12 doesn't (so far).

Eleven was always kissing people. Twelve isn't even a hugger.

I found it very hard to take 11 seriously, as he was always the guy in the fez. Twelve demands we take him seriously from the start by asking us to figure out if the robot guy jumped or was pushed.

Twelve is clearly a man, while 11 always remained a goofy, little boy.

Twelve has some wicked eyebrows. Eleven has none. *see pic above*

(Source)

Yeah. I know you probably started reading this with the expectation of a brill headcanon, with some unseen connection between 11 and 12. But no. It's about the eyebrows, and what they represent. Twelve is being all the things 11 wasn't. And that's nothing against 11: it's just not who he is. And I think in a way that happens with all the doctors. I can't speak for the classic series, but...

Nine was very serious: Ten could let go.
Ten had his demons: Eleven was happy 99.9 % of the time.
Eleven was terminally joyful: Twelve seems to be more serious. 

The eyebrows are more than face caterpillars. They represent something larger: the fundamental change from doctor to doctor. The give and take from regeneration to regeneration. How they can be the same person, and oh so diffrent.

Also, face caterpillars. I want to pet them.

My Feels Through GIFS: The 12th Doctor

[SPOILERS, obv.]

It's time. Who time. 12 time. AHHHH. And when it started and I was all:

(Source)

AND THEN VASTRA, STRAX, AND JENNY. And I was all:

(Source)

Can we just give them their own show already?

When Clara was like, "Where's the Doctor? This guy he turned into is old. Do not want;" I was all:

(Source)

Grrr. What did I expect? She's just like wearing pants to me: I don't like it--never have, never will--and I can't wait to take them off/her to leave the show. Pants. Clara. Grrr. Did Rose act like this? No. In a fist fight, The Bad Wolf would beat up the Impossible Girl. Just sayin'. And Donna would just be so sassy in Clara's general direction that she'd fall over.

The dinosaur. I know she was supposed to be shocking, and scary, but all I could think was:

(Source)

Same thing with the lesbian lizard/human oxygen supplying kiss. It was meant to show love, and hope, and how DW has evolved, and all I could think was:

(Source)

Vastra, your 9 is showing.

My feels on 12, you ask? Well, I like him so far. It's hard to tell after just one ep. It takes a little while for each doctor to come into their own. Speaking of Doctors, Matt. FEELINGSSSSS. I made mum pause the show so I could just scream, "Moffat!" No joke. And I'm still a little:

(Source)

I JUST GOT OVER(ish) TRENZALORE. DIDN'T NEED MY HEART ANYWAY, MOFFAT.

"Yay, we get new Moffat Who!"  
10 minutes later
"WHY?!?"

I think we need a good name for Capaldi's eyebrows. Capeyebrows? Capildibrows? They're just so magnificent. I want to pet them. Did I say that out loud? *uses GIF to distract from how weird that was*

(Source)

Also, I want a Timelord rap-battle.

(Source)

"You can't handle all this wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.
Linear progression is whack, yo." 

As you can tell, I don't listen to rap music.

I like the fact that this Doctor is a little older and more distinguished, not so much of the little boy we had with 11. But I do like that they kept some of the same quirks from the previous Doctors. And I like Capaldi as an actor. Overall, I liked the episode and I'm excited for more.

Hello FanStuffs, Goodbye Money: Gooooo Team Fandom!

***I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID TO SAY THINGS***

So I'm homeschooled and going into high school this year. And everybody's like:

"What about prom? And chemistry? How will you meet people? Do you have friends? How will you date? Do you get graded on a curve because your mom teaches you? Are you socialized? Can you read and write without help? Are you gonna mass murder people because you never went to public school? But what about prom, though?"

 Oy.

In case you are asking yourself any of these: I'll go to prom with my homeschooling group; I'll prob take chem with my homeschooling group, too. I meet people at church, the library, archery lessons, and through my fandom stuff. Yes, I have friends. 99.9 % of the people in my town are un-dateworthy to my standards, public school or not. No, Mum doesn't go easy on me because I came out of her body. Yes, I'm a mindless mole person scared of light, white foods, and sarcasm. Me ready-writey gooood. I might murder the next person to ask me a stupid homeschooling question. And yes, by Stormageddon Dark Lord of All, I'm gonna get to go to prom.

And, hey--no public school, no hell-mouth worries! Always a plus.

Anyway, I've been noticing that my friends who are in high school have Letterman jackets.

Like all of them.

Even the ones who are sports-challenged like me. And that was something I'd never thought about. I mean, I have no interest in football or basketball or baseball or... other ball sports. And until roller derby, sumo wrestling, and/or caber tossing pick up in the deep South, I'm out of luck on the jacket front. And it was kinda bumming me out. And then I found the most glorious thing.

It's a Letterman jacket. It's a Doctor Who Letterman jacket. And it's not a gazillon dollars. And it comes in my size.

So in other words...

MummmmHummmmm
(Source)

They have most of the doctors' numbers (no 8 1/2, boo), and custom jackets. I'm also thinking I might get one that says "Sunnydale High" across the back, because why not? (Also temped to get one of these that says, "Future Mrs. Misha Collins," because also why not?)

The links to the DW50 and DW10 are here(50) and here(10); the link to the homepage is here, and the link to the custom men's and women's are here(w) and here(m).

Favorite Fan Videos: Doctor Who

Last week I said, and I quote,

"As you know, on Sunday nights I post new installments of the various blog series I write. Well, right now I don't have any good ideas. Like none. So, I'm taking a little breather from the series-ing. But don't fret: I'll start back after I have a good idea. If you have something you wanna see, let me know."

Well, after one week, a tiny existential crisis, and a buttmonkey-load of coffee, I've come up with an idea. "Favorite Fan Videos: A Convenient List Of My Top 5!" I still need ideas on what you wanna see, or if you even like the blog series-ing. Anyway, to the videos!

For the "Unicorn and the Wasp" fans

5.

 

Have some feels, why don'tcha.

4.

I love this one. Always have, always will. 

3.

*F-bomb warning*

2.

One of my fav songs + David Tennant? Perfect.

1.

 

SOOOoooOOOoo, now you've seen my top five DW videos. Oh, and the "50 Post Dance Party/Binge Watching Extravaganza" is this Wednesday. I really do need to know about the blog series-ing thing. So comment or use the contently located poll! Enlighten me. I wanna be one with everything. Or two with everything. That seems better. I feel enlightened-er, do you feel enlightened-er? I feel enlightened-er.

Happy Fandom Beauty Day!!

(Pic by my Mum, arm by me, (Well,
technically mum did that too.) Fandom symbols by Mum.)

Note to TFiOS fans: I am a TFiOS fan. I forgot my to draw my "Okay? Okay." bubbles. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Okay? Okay.

You may be saying to your self, "Self? Why has this blogger, writer and dare I say friend, darkened the endless web of the internet with a picture of an arm? And a hairy, pale arm at that?" Or you may just be saying, "Hey! Look an arm!"

Either way, IT'S FANDOM BEAUTY DAY!!!

And by "Fandom Beauty Day," I do not mean the twisted concept that we have as a society of what be pretty.

I mean the glory! the honor! the all over awesomeness that lives in The Fandoms as a whole and in Fandom individuals.

So I bestow unto you a picture of my arm. Also, I be pale and I be hairy. I blameth me Dad, both for the hair and for the way I was just talking just then.

SooOOOoOoo, just in case you don't know what some of the symbols are...

**********

#DFTBA = Don't Forget To Be Awesome, Nerdfighters/Vlog Brothers John and Hank Green
Red circle with wibbly squiggles around it = Anti-angel symbol, Supernatural
Blue box with flashy red nob on top = Tardis, Doctor Who
Brown triangle with circle and line = The Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter
Orange curly diamond with horns = Rune, The Mortal Instruments
221B = Address, BBC Sherlock
Yellow ring with writing = The One Ring, Hobbit/LotR
Giant red *A* = Avengers logo, Avengers
Orange *B* = Buffy B, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Green shark tooth with a star = Federation symbol, Star Trek/ST:TNG
Red and white circle = Pokéball, Pokémon
Scary blue fork of doom = Trident, Percy Jackson

*********

So anyway Fanlings, I think we need a symbol. What do you think it should be? A panda? A top hat? A panda IN a top hat? I'll have it figured out by next year.

If you too have an idea for the LastFangirl symbol, and/or and symbol-y arm pic, feel free to post it below.

In conclusion, live it up Fanlings. Today is our day.

*****UPDATE*****

My anti-angel symbol met an unfortunate end involving my upper arm. I wrote "So Get This..." in its wake. RIP anti-angel symbol. You will be missed.

Jarsen, The Fandom Panda, Rants

Jarsen flips over when he's angry.
(Pic from here, edit by me, Jarsen by Jarsen)

This morning I woke up to panda yodeling. And as you know, Fandom Pandas only yodel when they're very upset.

I galloped to Jarsen's room to see what was the matter. And there poor Jarsen was, just yodeling his little heart out. It was pitiful really.

I said to Jarsen, "Jarsen? What's the matter, sweetness? Did Moffat get you again?"

Jarsen said, "No. I'm just very mad. I was just thinking about animals in the Fandoms. Or rather lack thereof. I mean really. There's the cat-people from Doctor Who, but there cat-people. They hardly count as straight up animals. There's a dog in Supernatural every now and again, but they're plot tools, not characters. There was that hairless cat in Sherlock, and just no. Redbeard is lovely, but he was just a memory. And the only panda I know of is the panda picture in Mike's apartment on Suits. It just makes me mad. I could just yodel."

I said, "Well, I have my post about you today. I could make it a call to action. If you like."

And Jarsen said, "I would love that."

Then I said, "Ok. What do you want for breakfast?"

And he said, "Waffles please. And can we have bamboo bacon?"

And I sai--Nevermind, BACK TO TOPIC.

So, anyway, this is the call to action.  If you know the writers of a TV show urge them to write in more animals. If you write fan-fic, I urge you to add someone fuzzy. If you are fan-art-ly gifted, I urge you to include non-homosapiens in your images. Hear my plea, Fanlings. Please, for Jarsen's sake. And if not for him, for me. I can't bear the yodeling.

Here, Have Some Kool-Aid: Doctor Who

A picture is worth a thousand words.
(Source)

Welcome to "Here, Have Some Kool-Aid: A handy-dandy guide to convert your friends to the Fandom life." This week we do Who.

There are two ways to start. You can start with the classic series,  S1 E1 Doctor1. Or you can start with the new series, S1 E1 Doctor9. The classic series is, well... classic. The new series is the only one I've watched, and can offer knowledge about. So we'll go with that.

Doctor Who is a very deep and wide Fandom. That can make it intimidating to start watching. So the best eps to start with are self-contained and have characters who are new to the world of The Doctor.

A perf example is "Blink, S3 E10." It's a one off, and the protagonist Sally Sparrow is new to the world of Who. "Blink" also has one of the scariest baddies in Who history: the weeping angels.

This is the ep I used to introduce my BFF to Who. It took 39 minutes before she became a die hard fangirl. In other words, success.

Another good episode is "The Runaway Bride, S3 E1." Donna is funny, sympathetic, and loveable. If your potential Whovain cares about the characters, they're more likely to want to watch more.

A lot of people skip the Ninth Doctor, and start with Ten. I do not recommend this. And by "do not recommend this," I mean I will come through the computer and smack you with a rolled up newspaper, and say "Bad Fanling! No post for you!" Even if you choose to start with "Blink" or "The Runaway Bride," go back and start with the new series featuring Nine; it's definitely worth it.

When choosing other eps, think about your potential Whovain. "Blink" was a good choice for my BBF because she likes horror. Horror = scary, scary = weeping angels. If your potential Whovain is a romantic comedy fan, something like "Love & Monsters, S2 E10" or "The Unicorn and the Wasp, S4 E7" might be a better choice.

Other than that, S1 E1 is always a good starting point. Just make sure you give a little back story before you do anything.

Gotta dash. Things happening. Well, four things. Well, four things and a lizard.

A Day In The Life Of Jarsen, The Fandom Panda

(Pic from here, edit by me, Jarsen by Jarsen)

We had no new Jarsen post last week.

My mind was so full of TFIOS feels, I forgot.

Forgive me!!!!!

Okie dokie.

Now that that's out of the way.

So Mum was asking me recently, "What does Jarsen do all day? He seems to just drink coffee and watch TV." And I was thinking, that seems about right. So I asked Jarsen, "Jarsen, what do you do all day?" He then issued this very detailed report:

This has been "A Day in the life of Jarsen."

And Lo! A Fangirl Was Born: Doctor Who

Welcome to the first installment of "And Lo! A Fangirl Was Born!" Yay. Whoo.

Let's begin with a little back story...

My Dad was a die-hard classic fan (Four was his Doctor), so when the new series came out he started watching. I, on the other hand, was content to play on the computer and ignore him. At the time I was 6-ish, so DW was a bit complicated for me. It still is.

Then, when he was watching "The Empty Child," I was... frightened, panicky, alarmed, terrified.
Pick one.

My Doctor. *sigh*
(Source)

And Daddy decided I was just flipping my lid because I didn't understand what was happening. 

So, we started watching.  

Not long after Mum joined in, and it snowballed from there. 

I didn't really hit "The Fandoms" until I started watching BBC Sherlock. 

But that, my dear Fanlings, is a story for next week. 

During my Mum and Dad's separation and later my Dad's death, Doctor Who was there. Painful and heartbreaking, but there. 

And no matter what, I'll always have Sunday morning Doctor Who watching with my Dad.

Now that I've poured my feels out, let's move along.

I have 11 T-shirts with DW stuff on 'em, the perf  Tardis blue nail polish, cookie jar, and necklace. Ten is my Doctor, and Donna is my Companion. The Weeping Angels are what nightmares have bad dreams about.

And this is the part of the post where I summarize in a witty fashion. 

I like Doctor Who, and... oranges. Sorry, not very witty today. I'm so, so sorry.

Doctor Who: The Musical, Part 2

So as you may remember from my earlier post (clicky for posty), we covered all of the new series' Doctors and Companions. But, Doctor Who wouldn't be very wibbly-wobbly without...

Monsters! Bad guys, villains, misguided aliens, whatever floats your goat. Without the antagonists, the whole show would just be the Doctor flying though space and time happily. AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT WRITER WOULDN'T HAVE THAT. 


 Now, prepare to be scared.

Baddie: The Silence

Song: Who Can It Be Now?- Men At Work

Why? Huh? I don't understand what's happening right now.

"Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide

Who can it be now?"

Baddie: Daleks

Song: Bad Reputation- Joan Jett

Why? Daleks don't care. They just want world domination/destruction. Is that really too much to ask?

Baddie: Weeping Angels

Song: Don't Blink- Kenny Chesney

Why? Reasons.

Baddie: Vashta Nerada

Song: Shadows Of The Night- Pat Benatar

Why?

"We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
[Or they won't, 'cause you're dead]"

Baddie: Ood

Song: Gotta Serve Somebody- Willie Nelson

Why? I say "Baddie," but I mean misguided alien.

"But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody"

Baddie: Cybermen

Song: Mr. Roboto- Styx

Why? DOMO. DOMO.

"I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive--just keep me alive"

Baddie: Steven "The Feel Bringer" Moffat

Song: Another One Bites The Dust- Queen

Why? Because I had to.

He's just killed so many people I love!

There you go! Supernatural parts one & two, Doctor Who parts one & now two, and BBC Sherlock people and ships. Really the only person I didn't do for BBC Sherlock was Anderson. And my feelings about him are very unoriginal, so I'm not going back for him. Anderson. Grr.

Next week we'll start "And Lo! A Fangirl Was Born!" my journey to and through the fandoms. I'm doing it chronologically, so it'll be DW, Sherlock, then Supernatural. Laterz, Fanlings.

Happy Mother's Day!!

As fanlings, we don't have particularly good reputations with Moms.

Well, my Mum falls in the fantastic category. So I'm with my Mum today, and that's why normal posting hath been interrupted.

Stupid holidays, getting in the way of my blog.
