Chuck Appreciation Post #ChuckRidesAgain

***SPOILERS FOR SUPERNATURAL'S 200th EP***

(Source)

If you live in or near the southeast, I would like to apologize for all the manic laughter and "I KNEW IT!"'s you likely heard during the past half hour. That was me. Sorry.

By the by, I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT.

I never wanted to believe Chuck was gone.

Were there doubters? Yes. People saying he had to be dead because of Kevin? Yes. Did I ever lose hope? Yes. That was about 15 minutes after they said he died. But then I did what I do best: hope, deny, and come up with elaborately unreal ways that what I wanted could have happened.

Who wants to carve this into the side of a church? No takers? Really?

And look where I am now. Full of Chuck. This is what happens when you hope, children.

I love Chuck. He's so... Chuck. There aren't words. I am nominating him for the role of Patron Saint Of People Who Sit Around In Their Underwear All Day While They Write.  As there is a Patron Saint of Bathroom Breaks, I think it's reasonable. As I don't know the pope and am not Catholic, this may take a while. So, if you know the pope and/or are Catholic, drop him an e-mail for me, would ya? Thanks sweets. I might be the only one to ever... What do you even do with saints? Shine the saint signal? Saint dance?

I digress.

Chuck is fantastic. For many reasons. One of which is that he followed his passion/the voices in his head. Even when the publisher dropped him, he continued.

With some people, they write because they want to. With others *cough* me and Chuck *cough* we write because we need to. It's a need. Not a fleeting desire. I will always write. And so will Chuck. And that is one of the many reason why I love him. Viva la Chuck. See you soon, boo.

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...

(Source)

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?"

(Source)

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?

(Source)

Baddie: Weeping Angels

Song: Don't Blink- Kenny Chesney

Why? Reasons.

(Source)

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]"

(Source)

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"

(Source)

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"

(Source)

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!

*hysterical laughter fading into the endless river of tears*












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.

Supernatural: The Musical, Part 2

In my first "Supernatural: The Musical" post (click for post), I did all the major characters. Well, there's a butt-ton more, and they're all important. So now I'm going back and trying to cover everyone. So if I missed someone you love last time, here they are. Boom.

(Source)

Person: Mary Winchester

Song: Burnin' For You- Blue Oyster Cult

Why? Because I have a touch of the evil today. And it has a... young, lost Mary feel to it.

"Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me....

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due"

(Source)

Person: Adam Milligan

Song: Simple Minds- Don't You (Forget About Me)

Why? I demand a letter writing movement.

"Dear Supernatural writers, Adam Milligan. Still in hell. Srsly, what up?"

And is it just me or does it look like he's dancing to "Of The Night by Bastille?"

(Source)

Person: John Winchester

Song: Father Figure- George Michael

Why? He was very much that.
Father figure. He wasn't really Sam and Dean's dad. He was their "Father." Bobby was more their dad than John ever was in my book.

"I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you -
Until the end of time"

(Source)

Person: Garth Fitzgerald IV (And Mister Fizzles)

Song: Lynyrd Skynyrd- Simple Man

Why?

"Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above."

(Source)

Person: Gabriel/The Trickster

Song: The Joker- Steve Miller Band

Why? Look at those eyebrows, and tell me why not.

(Source)

Person: Death

Song: Fragile- Sting

Why?

"If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star"



***SEASON 9 SPOILER WARNING***

(Source)

Person: Gadreel

Song: Locked Out Of Heaven- Bruno Mars

Why? Reasons.

***SEASON 9 SPOILERS END*** 



Kevin. I wanted to do Kevin. I have no idea what his song would be. Same goes for Ellen and Jo. And Metatron. So if you Fanlings have any brilliant ideas, lemme know in the comments.

Sherlock: The Musical, Part 2, and Giveaway Results!

Thank you to all the many fanlings who entered my first ever giveaway!!  After assigning each entry a number and plugging that range into the Random Number Generator, the Internet minions selected....

Shezza! Congratulations! I'll need your name and mailing address (instructions sent to you via comment on giveaway post), and then your poster will be on its way via winged monkeys. Or the postal service. Winged monkeys being unreliable and all that.

Thank you again to everyone who entered. I've already started plotting, er planning, my next giveaway!

And now, in no particular order, The Ships!

(Source)

Ship: Johnlock (Sherlock Holmes/John Watson)

Song: All Of Me- John Legend

Why? This is the perfect Johnlock song. It's like he wrote it with our favorite (blanket statement, don't hate me) consulting couple in mind. Full lyrics here.

(Source)

Ship: Sherlolly (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper)

Song: Let Me Love You- Ne-Yo

Why? Sherlock's kinda messed up. Don't get me wrong: we love him. But...still. Love isn't always enough.
It can fix a monkey-butt load of stuff though. And look at them! I'm a Johnlocker, but I can't even when it comes to good a Fan-Art. Lyrics here.



 

(Source)

Ship: Sheriarty (Sherlock Holmes/Jim Moriarty)

Song: One More Night- Maroon 5

Why? Excuse me being obvious, but they put the "fun" in "dysfunctional." They're good for each other, in a bad, bad way.

"You and I go hard at each other
like we're going to war.
You and I go rough,
we keep throwing things
and slamming the door.
You and I get so damn dysfunctional,
we stopped keeping score.
You and I get sick, yeah,
I know that we can't do this no more."

(Source)

Ship: Umcroft (Mycroft Holmes/His Umbrella)

Song: Umbrella- Rihanna

Why? Reasons.

(Source)

Ship: Mystrade (Mycroft Holmes/DI Greg Lestrade)

Song: Undercover Angel- Alan O'Day

Why?

"Crying on my pillow, lonely in my bed,
Then I heard a voice beside me and [he] softly said,'Thunder is your night light, magic is your dream.'
And then as I held [him], [he] said, 'See what I mean?'

Undercover angel, midnight fantasy,
I never had a dream that made sweet love to me.
Undercover angel, answer to my prayer,
You made me know that there's a love for me out there.

Somewhere. Yeah, somewhere."

Just "Awww."

(Source)

Ship: Shirene (Sherlock Holmes/Irene Adler)

Song: Hurt So Good- John Cougar Mellncamp

Why? I don't ship them, but I think this fits. Can you say unresolved tension, boys and girls? Lyrics here.

Add caption

Ship: Lestrolly (Molly Hooper/DI Greg Lestrade)

Song: You Always Make Me Smile- Kyle Andrews

Why? They're both very happy people. No division, no problem! Molly's has enough kitten-y division-y stuff to go around. They're so cute together. *Squee*

And there's this. "His face was not scripted. That was Rupert Grave's honest reaction to the dress."

"I like your messy hair. I like the clothes you wear.
I like the way you sing and when you dance with me....

I don't know why, I love you.
I just know I can't stop thinking of you
OH WAIT oh oh oh oh oh
It's cause you make me smile
oh oh oh oh oh
You always make me smile"




**SERIES 3 SPOILER-Y WARNING**

(Source)

Ship: Mahn (John Watson/Marry Morstan)

Song: Sweet Nothing- Calvin Harris ft. Florance Welch

Why? It's the most canon, and most messed up ship out of the fleet.

"You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And with a word all my love came rushing out
And every whisper, it's the worst,
Emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now

So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing"

**SERIES 3 SPOILER-Y END**

So there you go! Sherlock: The Musical, Part 2. Now you might be saying to yourself, "Self? Is this the end? She's gone through all of Supernatural, Doctor Who, and now Sherlock parts 1 and 2. What more could there be!"

Well, I'm not done yet. And I'm not saying. Let there be much lamenting until next week.

Sherlock: The Musical, Part 1

Whoop, whoop! Sherlock song-i-fied! Because I'm a bit of a shipette when it comes to Sherlock, the ships will be covered in part 2, next week.

**SPOILERS AHEAD FOR SERIES 1 AND 2**

Let's not dilly-dally.

Person: Sherlock Holmes

Song: I Am A Rock- Simon & Garfunkel

Why? Are you the song that sums up Sherlock Holmes? Yes you are. Who's the cutest little song that sums up Sherlock Holmes? You are! You are!

"I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries."

I'm 99.9 % sure I have that same shirt.
(Source)

 Person: John Hamish Watson/Jawn

Song: Ho Hey- The Lumineers

Why? Sometimes with all the hedgehog-ing and jam, I forget he was a soldier and had some serious PTSD.

"I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed,
Sleeping in my bed

So show me family
All the blood that I would bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a [BLOG!!]"

That last bit was ad libbed.

(Source)

Person: Molly Hooper

Song: Makes Me Happy- Drake Bell

Why? SHE IS KITTENS! Everybody reduces her down to a week, hopeless romantic with a blind crush on Sherlock. But, let's face it, if Sherlock asked you to cancel your lunch plans, we all would. She's just so happy. About everything. "Post mortem on a triple-homicide. Better wear the blue kitten sweater, then.

(Source)

Person: Mycroft Holmes

Song: Every Breath You Take- The Police

Why? He is Big Brother in so many ways.

"Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you.

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you."

#GASP
(Source)

Person: Jim Moriarty

Song: My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark- Fall Out Boy

Why? Moriarty is insane. Not like "Gurl, you cray-cray!" insane. He's looney bin crazy. "Crazy bus" crazy. Then one day he decides to unleash said "looney bin of crazy" on Sherlock's head.

"All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see...



Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see...."

(Source)

Person: Mrs. Hudson

Song: I'll Take Care Of You- Etta James

Why? We don't know a lot 'bout Mrs. Hudson. Except that she is not your housekeeper. One recurring theme through her character development is that she's always taking care of John and Sherlock.



"I know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you let me here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you"

(Source)

Person: Irene Adler/The Woman

Song: Killer Queen- Queen

Why? This is basically her song. "Killer Queen" is to The Woman, what "Angel With a Shotgun" is to Destiel. You can find full lyrics here.

(Source)

Person: DI Greg Lestrade

Song: Titanium- David Guetta (ft. Sia)

Why? I am a self-proclaimed Greg-Fangirl. GregGregGregGregGregGregGregGreg.
Being "The DI Greg Lestrade" can't be an easy task.


"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium"

Whatever happens, Greg handles it. Also, Greg needs to stay alive, or else we will riot. It might be a two-fangirl riot, but it shall be a riot nonetheless. #justsayin'



**THIS NEXT BIT IS A WEE BIT SPOILERY. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY SEEN SERIES 3. UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN GO, VENTURE ON!**

(Source)

Person: Mary Morstan Watson

Song: Up In The Air- 30 Seconds to Mars

Why? We think we know Mary, but it turns out, we don't.

"I've been up in the air,
 out of my head,
Stuck in a moment of emotion I destroyed.
Is this the end I feel?
...All of the laws I've broken,
loves that I've sacrificed.
Is this the end, end, end, end?

I'll wrap my hands around your neck so tight with love, love.

A thousand times I tempted fate.
A thousand times I played this game."

**HERE ENDETH THE SPOILERS.**


So there's your Sherlock Musical, part 1. What did you think? Ready for Sherlock ships next week? I am!

Oh, and there's still a little bit of time left in the giveaway, so go enter if you haven't yet!

Doctor Who: The Musical

Today we're music-ing the cast of Doctor Who!!!!!! **SPOILERS OBV** How'd you like the new look BTW?


********************DOCTORS*************************************

(Source)

Person: The Ninth Doctor

Song: Too Much Time On My Hands- Styx

Why? I think this sums up Nine before Rose quite nicely. After the Time War, The Doctor drifted 'round time and space, not really stopping to think about what he'd done--can you blame him?--solving as many of the world's problems as he could to make up for his sins, and I think it was making him a little crazy.



"...Well, I'm a jet fuel genius -
I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying...
Is it any wonder I've got
Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity..."

(Source)

Person: The Tenth Doctor

Song: Demons- Imagine Dragons

Why? Ten is my doctor. He's also kinda sad. Like all the time. Like "All by myself" on a loop sad.

"They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide"

He has a lot of emotions. He wants to save the world. But he also knows he needs saving.

(Source)

Person: The Eleventh Doctor

Song: Pompeii- Bastille

Why? Eleven is an eleven year old. Painfully so.

"I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show"

He spent his time-his life-running. Running from what he'd done. Running from his guilt and pain.

"Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?"

He's an optimist. Even in the darkest corners of the universe, he can find an upside. He can save someone. And I think that's why he's connected with the younger generation so well.

  

(Source)

Person: The War Doctor/8-and-a-half

Song: War- Edwin Starr

Why? Because I was kinda forced to. Between cosmic law, and my mum. I mean the song's got his name(-ish) in it, for bunnies' sake!
And if you forgive all the "Huhs" and "Yeahs," I think it speaks to who 8 1/2 is on a deep level. 

"War I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I said:
War... Huh... Good God y'all!
What it is good for?
Absolutely nothing!"

(Source)

Person: The Twelfth Doctor

Song: Who Are You- The Who

Why? 'Cause reasons.







********************COMPANIONS*************************************

(Source)

Person: Rose Tyler

Song: I'm A Bitch, I'm A Lover- Alanis Morissette

Why?

"...Maybe I'm an angel underneath, innocent and sweet....

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, 

I'm a child, I'm a mother

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed....
When you hurt, when you suffer,
I'm an angel undercover"

Everyone wants to reduce Rose to just a woman with a crush on a man, but she's more, so much more. Let's not forget she IS the Bad Wolf and that she saved the world--and the Doctor--on more than one occasion. She is an angel, but also a warrior. She did what needed to be done, even when it was difficult, yet she never lost the ability to be spontaneous and carefree when circumstances allowed it. 

(Source)

Person: I'm Captain Jack Harkness, and who are you?

Song: Sexy And I Know It- LMFAO

Why? Out of all the things Captain Jack is--immortal, sassy, and tormented--he's also kind of a Man-Whore. But he knows and embraces it.You could say he's SEXY AND HE KNOWS IT. **wink wink**

(Source)

Person: Martha Jones

Song: I Want You To Want Me- Cheap Trick

Why? Truthfully, I've never been a big Martha fan. She always wanted The Doctor, which is fine, but she had trouble accepting that he wasn't in that kind of place in his life at that time. It always seemed like she was more after a romantic relationship with the Doctor than an adventure through all of time and space.

"I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me"

(Source)

Person: Donna Noble

Song: Thank You For Being A Friend- Andrew Gold

Why? Donna is my companion.  She's got Martin Freeman level sass, the most ginger hair to ever ginge, and she's one of the most important women in my life. Like naming my firstborn daughter after her. And the FEELS. Oh my.

But most of all, she was the Doctor's friend. She loved him dearly without any of the romantic overtones from other relationships (see: Martha).

"Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you're a pal and a confidante

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow?"

And can we take a minute to remember the "Planet of The Hats" reference?  HATS.

(Source)

Person: River Song

Song: Haven't Met You Yet- Michael Bublé

Why? River is moving in the opposite direction through time and space than The Doctor. When we first met River, she dies. So at some point River's going to meet The Doctor and then we're all going to cry.

(Source)

Person: Amy Pond

Song: I Will Wait- Mumford and Sons

Why? Amy waited. And waited. And she waited for her raggedy Doctor to come. But he didn't. And then he did. When I think Amy, I think "the girl who waited."

(Source)

Person: Rory Williams

Song: I'm The Only One- Melissa Etheridge

Why?

NUMBER ONE: I can't get over the little orange shorts.

NUMBER TWO: Amy loved The Doctor. I think Rory was always a little worried that she lurved The Doctor. But after all that time, they ended up together. Forever. In the past. Forever. #PONDWITHDRAWAL

And even if she had lurved The Doctor, I think Rory would have still loved Amy just the same, would still have waited centuries for her, would have still moved heaven and earth for her. 

(Source)

Person: Clara Oswin Oswald

Song: Little Talks- Of Monsters And Men

Why? I don't like Clara. It might be partly because of #PONDWITHDRAWAL. She just seems like she uses The Doctor as a Wibbly-Wobbly taxi service. I also get the feeling she trying to find her place in life.



"There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love."

 ********************BONUSES*************************************

(Source)

Person: The Master

Song: Die young- Ke$ha

Why?

"I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums"

I have no other reason. 

Really though.

Move along.

(Source)

Person: The Tardis/Sexy

Song: Rather Be- Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne

Why? We all love the TARDIS. She's a lot of things, Blue, Rectangle, but mostly she home for The Doctor. All The Doctors. All the time.

"We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be"







Doctor Who the musical.  BAM. Oy. That took a long time. Rory died twice while I was writing that. SOooOoOO next week we do Sherlock: The Musical. Excited? No... I'll be excited for the both of us then!
