Song For Decem - Archive

Brittany the original songfordecem has moved. This is now (songfordecem-archive) all new posts will be made on songfordecem.tumblr.com

[songfordecem-archive]

In order to have a full-tumblr experience with my blog, I’ve decided to make a new songfordecem blog instead of keeping it as my secondary (which really limits how I can interact with people)

What I did was I turned original!songfordecem into songfordecem-archive and then made a new blog with the url songfordecem and reblogged all my important posts.

I am not deleting songfordecem-archive but I’m not making any new posts on there either. All new songfordecem posts will be made on the new blog. This will include:

Dragon*Con/John Barrowman recap

new fics, graphics, and gifs

status updates

Thank you for sticking with me!

Going to be moving to a new blog soon

So, the back story on this is that songfordecem is a secondary blog for me. This means I can never:

reply to things as songfordecem

ask questions as songfordecem

follow people as songfordecem

have a full tumblr experience as songfordecem

This is why I decided I'm going to make a new blog and just move all my important posts over. The new blog has already been made, I'm just bringing the theme over and reblogging my old posts.

This will likely become "songfordecem______" (whatever I decide to call it) and I'll just make the new one "songfordecem"

Once I'm done setting everything up, I'll make the name switch and reblog the "SONGFORDECEM HAS MOVED" post a few times incase people miss it.

If we are follow/follow and we talk, feel free to message me ahead of time if you want to follow the new blog ahead of time.

I WILL NOT BE POSTING ANYTHING NEW ON THIS BLOG That means my Dragon*Con recap w/John Barrowman pictures, all new fics, gifsets, graphics, 100 facts, ect. will all be posted on the new blog.

Thanks for sticking with me :D

So I met Brittany tonight.

We are exactly the same yet different at the same time.

We talked for… four hours? Yeah. Four.

It was awesome.

[songfordecem-archive]

Four hours of every topic under the sun and one of those hours might have been completely dedicated the analyzing Anna's handwriting and talking about typography and typefaces.

Also, we have like the exact same hair type and she gives good hugs

GUYS! John Barrowman is at the top of my hotel right now eating dinner. What?

[songfordecem-archive]

FYI: For those that might have missed it, I am at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA until Monday. I'm not able to make/write anything but I have been posting Con posts under the tag "Brittany goes to Dragon*Con" if you would like to savior it.

okay so I just got out of an amazing John Barrowman panel a few hours ago. I'll be making a slightly better post in a bit but it included:

Him throwing his clothes from earlier on stage

A kilt story involving Scott (M)

Singing some Gene Kelly

A fart/shit-based story (of course)

A hilarious story about how he and Scott made $1000 in a night in Savannah, GA

His favorite Doctor Who companion and "monster"

Journey's End

Whether or not David Tennant was a good kisser

exactly what kind of underwear he and Scott were wearing today

and much more

Honestly, that was one of the best panels I've ever been to! Also, Ash was there too!

21. My least favorite form of potato is the chip (crisps for you British English folks). If I do eat chips, they are kettle cooked kind.

Certain oils as a kid disagreed with me so that kind of ruined some chips for me.

Let’s just take a look at how far Rose has come in this scene. Currently, the Doctor is trapped 10 miles down without anyway of getting back up, the TARDIS is gone so she’s stuck on a planet orbiting a black hole, angry Satan-possessed Ood are on their way to kill them, they just managed to get the lights back on, and what’s left of the crew are a just one loud bang away from complete panic. 

So instead of letting the fear control her, she does what the Doctor would do in this situation but, with a touch that is so very human, so very Rose. She get’s Mr. Jefferson and Danny to start working to get the power back on, a task they should be able to accomplish given their familiarity with the systems. She motivates Toby, not by coddling him and holding his hand while he translates, but reminds him that he does matter and is needed. He has a special skill, a skill no one else here has, and a skill he can use to help. She gets Danny, who’s fear is clearly starting to get to him, to relax and think up a solution that she knows he can do and literally gives him a kick in the butt. 

She’s logical and task-oriented with Mr. Jefferson, she’s supportive but blunt with Toby, and she’s humorous with Danny. She takes control of the situation but isn’t controlling, giving each person a task that she knows they can do. All you can ask from someone is to give their best and she brings that out in each of them.

Even through all of this, she still never looses faith in the Doctor. As much as he believes in her, she believes in him. She’s promised him her forever and there is no way in hell she is going to just sit back and not do anything.

This is just one of the many reasons I love Rose Tyler.

20. I have a type and that type is tall and skinny with great hair. (Accent optional)

I have nothing against guys without accents, but having one will definitely won't hurt the situation.

[songfordecem-archive]

I love your blog and your fics and I think you are just stunning and fantastic. Some day I'll impress and inspire you as much as you do me.

Thank you so so much, Anon!

Honestly, this was a lovely message to come home to :) Very touched, thank you.

19. My Top 6 Teaspoon Fic-Writers (In Alphabetical Order):

A_Who_in_Whoville

Jamie/Allison (cereal and gallifreyburning)

Rallalon

WhoMe

wildwinterwitch

wishiknewwho

Yes, I know Jamie and Allison started fic!tennis and Gallifrey Records and Tardis, Cash Only on tumblr but it's up on Teaspoon so I'm counting it because of reasons. Also, if you haven't read something by one of those amazing writers, I honestly don't know what DW fanfic you've been reading but you're missing out on fandom standards.

18. I find math comforting and relaxing.

My real life is art/creativity-based which is all up to interpretation with no correct answer. With math, for the most part, you can get two answers but, only one fits in your domain. Plus you can just plug it in to double check.

AU Meme | Pete’s World -  He can just barely sense it just before the monitor goes off. He gently kisses Rose, careful not to wake her as he slips out from under the comforter and pads over to the nursery.

It's a cold night and she's kicked off her blanket. He pulls up a chair, reaching in, tucking her back under the navy blue cloth. As he reaches her hands, she instinctively wraps her little pink fingers around his, letting out a contented coo.

There is something soothing about his voice that always calms her. So, he gently rubs the back of her hand, and lulls her to sleep with tales of Gallifrey and his childhood home. Of the fields of red grass he used to run through. Of the continent of Wild Endeavour. Of the silver leaves that flickered in the breeze. Of a place that is long since gone but, lives on in him, and hopefully now in her.

17. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Hands down.

I could eat it all day every day and be the happiest person in the world. Pancakes, waffles, french toast, eggs, bacon, toast, homefries, hashbrowns, ham, canadian bacon (which lbr here is basically just ham), all of it. All of it good.

AU Meme | Pete's World - He's only a few months old but already eager to run. Just like his Mum and Dad.

16. Potatoes are basically my favorite thing ever.

French fries, baked potatoes, grilled potatoes, mashed, chips, hashbrowns, home fries, cheese fries, I could go on and on. All are acceptable.

15. I prefer playing sports rather than watching them but I do support two teams: Chelsea Football Club and the Boston Bruins.

I might not watch every game but I try and catch it when it's on.

14. I grew up watching the Star Wars trilogy, Star Trek: The Original Series, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, and Thunderbirds.

Those VHSs were well played and never left the video bag I used to take from place to place.
