Kind of Frightened All the Time

31 January 12

Hi guys. So, my godmother lives in Ireland and she is friends with a man who worked on the special effects for the Harry Potter films. She mentioned my love (obsession) and he sent me a few movie props, including two Hogwarts acceptance envelopes. Now, I all ready framed my own envelope and I don’t really have a use for another. So, I’m giving the other away.

NOTE: The envelope is just that, an envelope. There is not a letter inside. The front shows Harry’s address, and the back the Hogwarts moto and symbol. There is also a fake wax seal. (It is not actually wax, it was printed to look like that.)

I want the person who receives it to really love it. So, that’s why I’m doing a giveaway.

RULES

1. REBLOGS ONLY. Likes will NOT count. (I just don’t think that many people will see it with only likes.)

2. You can reblog this up to 5 times. (Anymore than 5 and you will be disqualified.) I don’t want this spamming people’s dashes.

3. You DO NOT have to be following me to enter. You can win regardless if you follow me or not.

4. You must have your ask ENABLED. I need a way to contact you if you win.

I will ship the prize anywhere. If you live in Antarctica, cool. I’ll get it to you. (It is very thin, so I don’t foresee a problem with even international shipping.)

THE CONTEST ENDS FEBRUARY 29TH. That gives you exactly one month for up to 5 reblogs.

I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.

All right. That’s about it. Good luck!

Ninth Doctor Headcanon

When the Ninth Doctor first asked Rose to travel through time with him and refused, the Doctor accepted that and moved on. He traveled through space and time, saving the universe, all lonely for years thinking “I wish Rose could have been here.” Eventually, he goes back to a few seconds after he left Rose and says “By the way, did I mention it also travels in time?”

Rose never knew how long the Doctor waited for her.

I think this makes sense. In the episode Rose you see all those photos of Nine at the assassination of Kennedy and at the Titanic (on his own). But also in that episode he’s checking his reflection in the mirror like he’s seeing it for the first time, so he can’t have been long regenerated. So maybe he does all that stuff in the time before he comes back and says “Did I mention, it also travels in time?”

which makes that line even more powerful because this time he would really want her to say yes, because he knows what it’s like without her.

What’s interesting are the events the Doctor (theoretically) chose to visit during that time between when Rose (theoretically) first said no, and when he returned to extend the invitation a second time. Nine was photographed/drawn near the Titanic, Krakatoa, and the Kennedy assassination. All horrible catastrophes with tragic loss of life, all catastrophes that caused profound change in human history, catastrophes that (if Pompeii and Bowie Base One are anything to go by), would likely qualify as fixed points in time.

This leads me to believe that the Doctor was nearly in the throes a Time Lord Victorious breakdown as a result of the Time War and Rose’s rejection. He was dancing around the edges of these fixed points, likely looking for a way to save lives and prove to himself that he wasn’t a vile person. To prove to himself he could make a difference.

To prove to himself that he’s worthy of having someone brave and clever like Rose as a companion.

And Nine (obviously) doesn’t save Kennedy’s life or stop the eruption of Krakatoa, but in the episode “Rose” we find out he DOES save one family originally scheduled to travel on the Titanic by convincing them to delay their trip. A small measure of redemption.

Enough so that the Doctor summons the courage to return to that dark London sidewalk and casually lean out the door of his TARDIS like no time had passed at all, like he hadn’t been scrabbling in the wake of Rose’s rejection. And then he said the words he’d practiced alone in his console room dozens of times, with the exact amount of calculated swagger he’d rehearsed: “By the way, did I mention it also travels in time?”

vegans live forever!!!

No, vegans just die of things that aren’t heart disease. There are very few vegetarians and vegans compared to omnivores, so there’s a smaller number for studies. Omnivores are less likely to become anemic or develop other conditions resulting from nutrient deficiencies because they’re not too busy up on a pedestal thinking they’re immortal just because they passed on a burger. Be veggie or vegan if you want. But don’t you dare act like you’re better than us for it, or we’ll eat you.

or we’ll eat you

nah but for real though, those are all good points.

for le commentary.

Dog Days. According to Politico, David Axelrod made a dig at Mitt Romney, “who once strapped his Irish setter Seamus’ crate to the roof of a car.” Today also marked the launch of ‘Pet Lovers for Obama.’ [via]

On a side note, Bo is totally a beast these days, just like Mitt was when he left that dog on the roof of his car.

I had to reblog this, purely for SFB’s commentary.
