TV Tag Game

List your top ten fave TV shows, and the top ship in that show, then tag 10 followers to participate!

I was tagged for this by @thegirlwhowaited82, and have to admit, it was harder than I expected (hence the appearance of BrOTPs on the list) Also, “top ten” shows are listed in no particular order and are subject to change at any time without notice. Because duh.

1. Parks & Recreation: Ben x Leslie

2. Doctor Who: Doctor x Rose (brotp: Doctor x Donna)

3. Sherlock: BROTP ONLY Sherlock x John (I repeat, BrOTP) Related:  Elementary: BROTP ONLY Joan x Sherlock (I repeat, BrOTP)

4. Once Upon a Time: Captain Swan (that’d be Hook x Emma)

5. Downton Abbey: Tom x Lady Sybil

6. The Walking Dead: Daryl x Carol (although this could be brotp... I’m still torn. and two weeks behind)

7. Mad Men: BROTP ONLY Don x Peggy (I repeat, BrOTP)

8. Outlander: Jamie x Claire (duh) (although the books are waaaaaay better)

9. Gilmore Girls: Luke x Lorelai

10. Friends: Monica x Chandler

And the tagging... who would like to play? How about the most recent 10 in my activity feed: @whovian1994, @fleurdeneuf, @asthewheelwills, @benedictatorship, @veritascara, @theavengersconsultingtimelord, @everything-she-did-was-so-human, @katharinethegr8, @the-smarsh, @agentbadwolfofshield

Heya I saw your post about having Emma Approved withdrawl symptoms and I wondered if you'd seen 'Elinor and Marianne Take Barton'? it's an adaptation of Sense and Sensibility along the same lines as EA and LBD, it's made by some students in England but it's still pretty good :)

I have not, but I totally will! Thank you for the rec!

HEY THER - aaaaaarghhh I'm so sorry I didn't know you'd been following me for two years!! I'm so bad at keeping track or I'd've followed you earlier (I'm also bad at keeping track of my tracked tag so I dunno how long ago you posted that post)!! Love your blog (the username amuses me) - how are ya? :) xx

Thanks! :) You’re one of the first blogs I ever followed! I’m doing pretty great, thanks to having had an awesome winter break, and by awesome I mean I slept til 3pm every day, barely left my room and rewatched all the Potters. I haven’t been this relaxed for months, too bad school starts next Tuesday. How about you?

My favorite feminist t-shirts that don't use the word "fuck" from lookhuman plus bonus 'house and senate' from wickedclothes for benedictatorship because you were asking about cutesy feminist shirts. Throw some glitter fabric paint on and you're good to go!

Got tagged with 11 questions!

I almost never do these, but pockethock is a hero, so just this once:

1.)  Hands for feet, or feet for hands? If you had to pick, which would you choose (i like tackling the big questions in life)

Hands for feet, I guess. Though I would dangle ridiculously.

2.) What colour are your eyes?

Blue and gray, though they can turn really rich blue in the right surroundings.

3.) Do you have a favourite family member? if so, who?

My wife, definitely. And if I had to choose among blood relatives... uh, that would be difficult. Mother, most likely. But very closely followed by papa.

4.) How tall are you?

I am small, just about 159 cm. My wife is 183 cm, so we look really funny together. 

5.) Favourite song?

Too many. But recently I am very fond of Ash Grove.

6.) Most embarrassing moment of your life so far?

Can I even count all of them?! Probably those not so few times when I thought that being sassy was the best anwer to everything, while in reality the only right thing was to shut up and be polite. 

7.) Favourite blog? *bats eyelashes*

Well, pockethock would surely rank among the TOP 10! :D The others would be reapersun, junejuly15, sherlockology, benedictatorship, atropabelladonna1120, nyxviola, nekotachi and several others... oh, and devifemme indeed! :)

8.) Snail or starfish; Which would you rather be reincarnated as?

A very slow starfish, I guess.

9.) Hopes for the future?

Family staying alive and healthy.

10.) Best dream you’e ever had?

I can't really tell, but it was really wet.

11.) Any last words, Mr Bond? *twirls moustache* 

I miss the times when I still had my daily university job and my wife would come to pick me up in the evening and we would make out on the office desk, my long polka dot dress flowing all over my colleagues's books...

benedictatorship replied to your post: we know how weird it is to realize that other...

I think about that a lot and it never stops being really creepy
