Just wanted to wrap things up and say thank you to everyone who participated in Alex Kingston Appreciation Week 2017, especially those of you who were able to post new edits and text posts! But hooray for our rebloggers, too, because without you nothing would be seen!
(And if you posted something in the #akaw2017 tag that I missed, please do let me know via message & I will reblog it. My tumblr doesn’t always show me everything in a tag.)
Alex Kingston Appreciate Week Master Post!
Day 1: What was my introduction to Alex? My mom used to watch ER when I was a kid, so I first saw her in that. Then, years later when I was beginning my 20s, I became a fan of Catherine Tate and began watching Doctor Who. When I saw Silence in the Library for the first time, I have to admit that I wasn’t completely blown away by River Song. I thought she was just another one-off character. Luckily, my friend Jennifer became mildly obsessed with Alex, and one day I decided to check her out on Youtube (more on that later). I’m certainly glad I did because I found a new love. For Alex in a period piece, I would have to say that my favorite is Moll Flanders. Not only for the nudity (sorry, she has an amazing body), but she has the most screen time, and I love looking at her beautiful face!
Day 2: When Alex made me feel all the feels. Oh, Lord! Where to start? Nearly all of Doctor Who, when Ella overdosed on Ecstasy and Mark died, when Jemmy left her, when Portia was a greedy bitch, the amazing car scene from Sordid Things (my favorite in the entire movie), and that’s all I can come up with right now. A time when she made me laugh… always. She’s a very spunky and funny woman!
Day 3: Favorite interview would have to be the infamous Rampant Rabbit on Craig Ferguson. It was the very first interview I watched with her, and that’s when I fell in love with her adorableness and lack of a filter. As for a movie of my imagining, I actually had a dream of watching a trailer for a non-existent film she was in called Breathing. In it, she was probably about 8 months pregnant, and one day her husband confessed to her that he was gay (if I remember right, he was played by Anthony Edwards).
Day 4: My favorite acting partnership would have to be her and Matt. They had palpable sexual chemistry, and I like to imagine that they did have an affair while filming together. My favorite Alex quote… I think it would have to be her super power of happiness. Whenever I think about or am reminded of it, I remember how much she makes me happy, even when I’m not looking at her in person, or she’s not looking at me. Just thinking about her brings a smile to my face, even when smiling is the last thing I want to do.
Day 5: Favorite non-River Song role. I would have to choose Elizabeth Corday. She’s so feisty and not afraid to speak her mind, a trait I would love to have because I internalize my feelings way too much until they explode. My favorite recurring theme would have to be her affinity to play such badass women!
Day 6: My favorite Alex decade would probably be her thirties because that’s when she was most active (not that she isn’t now, but new roles for her are few and far between). She’s taught me to be confident in who I am, though I never live by that, and not be ashamed to be myself (again, something I don’t do because of anxiety about how people perceive me). She has inspired/influenced me by having some terrible experiences in her past and surviving them, showing me that no matter how bad things get, I can survive too.
Day 7: Happy Birthday, my queen!!!! Thank you so much for existing! I’m so happy I’ve had the opportunity to meet you not only once but three times, and hopefully more in the future. You are the literal light in the perpetual darkness of my mind, and my Patronus! I love you more than you’ll ever know.
Alex Kingston Appreciation Week, Day 7 – Happy birthday, Alex!!! ↳ “ I think, in going back to what I was saying earlier about how I’ll just work instinctively from the lines, I guess there’s always going to be an element of yourself in the roles you play because, ultimately, that’s what you’re sourcing. You’re sourcing a sort of instinctive response to something. But I’m not as badass as River Song! … I’m not actually like River Song at all!” – Alex Kingston

Boudica, Badass Warrior Queen 👑 of England
This was quite a worthy watch. Happy to be obsessed with this actress, so I could learn a bit about England’s feminist history.

↳ Day 7: Happy Birthday Alexandra Elizabeth Kingston (March 11th, 1963)
“To be given the gift of life is extraordinary and the best thing we can to is live it as fabulously as we can” -Happy Birthday Alexandra Elizabeth Kingston!
Alex Kingston Appreciation Week 2017 Days 6 and 7: How Alex has inspired you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX! Happiest of birthdays to the fabulous, beautiful and amazingly talented Alex Kingston! Thank you for inspiring me to be myself and be happy. I may only be a new fan but your role of River Song has inspired me to continue my studies of science, be bold and adventurous, and stay curious. The struggles you’ve been through, which are so similar to some of my own, and how you’ve come through with grace and strength have also inspired be to be strong and never give up, and be confident in who I am. I can never thank you enough for that! I wish you many many more years!
Happy Birthday Alex Kingston! 💜
Happy 54th Birthday to the beautiful, brilliant, funny, strong, amazingly talented Alex Kingston! Thank you for always being yourself and inspiring me to be myself.

Depending on your time zone, it’s officially day 7 of Alex Kingston Appreciation Week, aka Alex’s birthday!!!
But does someone’s party have to end on their birthday? Uh, no -- that would be super lame. So if you’ve just been crushed all week or you’re a procrastinator or, you know, missed that it’s March and you’d still like to contribute to AKAW2017 after the fact, then part/post on! I’ll keep reblogging posts from this account for a couple days because, really, we all need new Alex stuff on our dashes, yeah?
So... Happy Alex Day & I’m hoping to see some more great posts as the day progresses.
Alex Kingston Appreciation Week, Day 6 – Alex in a decade. ↳ Her thirties…
