These Gorgeous Space Pictures Are So Pretty And Poetic On Their Own, And The Van Gogh Connection Just

There was an old joke in the Once Upon a Time fandom that you could put a coconut and a lighter next to each other and people would start shipping them... But like... I can see Stabby the Roomba and Blessie the Plant Monster making a great team, haha. They have a compatible spirit; they both resulted from humans messing around and now they enjoy messing around with humans.

How did I stumble into this madness? My friend was telling me about Stabby a while ago, and I noticed that a lot of the posts about it made reference to some kind of sci fi fandom; she told me that Stabby had been adopted by a podcast called Wolf 359. This Monday I needed something to listen to while I was fabric painting a shirt for the play I’m in, and now I’m 33 episodes (plus mini episodes) in and I needed some Stabby-flavored levity again. 

Stabby and Blessie for interstellar domination 2k19! Now excuse me while I check if there’s an AO3 tag for this ship, lol.

I have recently discovered that cat cosplay is a thing. In fact, I think it’s my new favorite thing :)

“You’re just as sane as I am.”

If this was “people from Montana” it would be an entirely valid summary of the play I’m in right now.

People from Wyoming

One of the things I love about having a tumblr now is tracking down all the great fanart I’ve appreciated for so long and getting to share it and sing its praises properly :) The lovely Christmas Tardis picture in this set was my first phone screensaver when I started using my first smartphone last Christmas. (Yes, I’m very behind on technology for a millenial.) I love all of these so much, though. The style feels like proper, old-fashioned book illustrations, gentle and fantastical and nostalgic--and, of course, Christmassy :) 

In response to the “which door” question--well, the cheating answer is the Tardis so that you could visit all of the other worlds with it ;) Honestly, though, I would choose the Tardis first for the sake of variety--I mean, how could you turn down the whole universe, past, present, and future? Second place is harder to pick, though. Probably Hogwarts, followed by Middle Earth and/or Narnia--I think those two tie for a close third. Each promises similar fantastical adventures. Wonderland and 221B would be neat, too, but they’re lower priority. I don’t actually recognize the door below the Tardis with the hippos (or horses?) and the lighthouse. Whatever fandom that is is probably laughing at me now. In any case, I love how each door leads to adventures :) 

“The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.” 

— The Doctor

So if some bizarre Christmas miracle was about to happen with you and all of those fantastic worlds become actually properly real - what door would you choose? ~_^

Also, I have temporary added all of this illustrations to my Redbubble shop, so if you want some of those Christmas cards - it’s better to hurry because they may  disappear from there any second now ^^’

As much as I love the Doctor’s pacifism (which he sort of sticks to at least most of the time except when he later shoves cyanide in a dude’s face but ya know... he has bad days I guess), I also love how Jamie straight up stabs a Sontaran in the leg. Like yeah, you’re one of the most fearsome warrior species in the universe? Well I’m Scottish and Imma stab you. 

But yeah, I went back on another of my erratic sprees of Classic Who-watching tonight and I happened upon the Two Doctors. I’m starting to quite like Jamie as a companion. (Even though this is his last appearance as a companion in terms of episode order, it’s only the second full serial I’ve watched with him in it because my approach to watching Classic Who can be summed up as wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.)

This serial also very much made me think of that 12th Doctor quote, “hardly anything is evil, but most things are hungry”. Obviously the Sontarans are more about battle-glory than hunger, but that Androgen chef, on the other hand... 

“Sontaran might is invincible!”

The Two Doctors - season 22 - 1985

Currently watching this very cliche (but still decently enjoyable) Christmas movie and it has this horse girl subplot where the older sister is falling in love with horses, but there are these long, lingering shots where she's looking at this female farmhand working with the horses, and she keeps talking about how great and cool that farmhand is, and I can't decide whether it's actually a burgeoning lesbian subplot or just a heavy accidental implication, but it really does feel soooo close to overtly romantic.

Anyways my hot new ship is these two. Time to build it from the ground up ;)

I currently follow 40; most of them are Gotham and I’m trying to diversify, though. I want to follow more Doctor Who blogs and maybe even some Once Upon a Time ones, but the trouble is that I’m behind on both of those shows and tumblr blogs tend to focus on the most current stuff. (If anyone knows good ones, feel free to recommend them!)

Also, quite a few of those 40 are art blogs that update pretty rarely, but when they do, the art is great. So, it’s not like I’m seeing 40 blogs’ worth of stuff in my dashboard every day; only like 5 of the blogs I follow update daily. 

how many people do y’all follow? it’s for science

This is the pinnacle of art.

I mean, it spans the full range of emotion. Mystery and curiosity, struggle and anger, generosity and adorableness, it has it all. And what greater art is there than cats?

babies!!!

Here you go friend. Enjoy :)

SOMEONE FIND ME THE HOW MANY NIMONS SCENE CAUSE I CAN’T FIND IT PLEASE AND THANK

Weird girl solidarity is when I complimented the gal at the gas station checkout on her decorative owl and she immediately began demonstrating some very good owl calls for me, and I attempted to mimick her and hoot back, but what came out of my mouth was more of just a flat wooooo sound with no trill because apparently being unable to roll my r's has also sadly stunted my ability to make a proper owl call. Still, it was fun standing there making owl noises at one another for a bit :)
