[inceptionpositivity]

@candidlily - Thank you, Lily, for creating an amazing Inception/500 Days of Summer crossover (it’s ‘close your eyes, replay these days’ and if you haven’t read it yet, you definitely should, because it’s so great!), and for still writing for Inception fandom even after all these years. I love you & your works (‘The Bet!’ SO FREAKING HOT!) so much! <3

this is a doctor who thing i wrote...

... for candidlily after eleven's first episode and i didn't want to lose it

Jeff convinces the world, just as the Doctor knew he would. He gets whisked off to London and tossed from agency to agency, all while they stuff his head with information that only vaguely makes sense. It seems, to him, that no one really knows who the Doctor is or what he does, besides show up in the nick of time and save the Earth from destruction. For two years, he works in London as an "alien consultant," which really means nothing; he just talks at people about the Doctor and what (he thinks) he knows about him. It's not a particularly exciting life, but it's more exciting than Leadworth (except the day the Doctor came, as he's taken to calling it). But after two years of doing this job, Jeff's nearly sick of it. He knows everyone else is sick of him; he doesn't know a single thing more than he did when he arrived. But everyone still pretends to listen to him just as much as he pretends to give advice. He's going to re-evaluate his life, he thinks. He'll take a step back from it all, for a week or two, as he goes back home to Leadworth for Rory and Amy's wedding (they're actually going through with it, can you believe?). And then, hopefully, he'll be able to give up on all this other-worldly nonsense and find something to do where he actually can make a difference. Screw aliens, he just wants to actually help people. The day Jeff's supposed to go home, work runs late. Some scientists had found new parts to Stonehenge and wanted his oh-so-expert opinion on the matter. So he's running around his (tiny) flat and throwing clothes into a bag, hoping that somehow all the bits will add up to a matching suit. Just as he's zipping up his suitcase, there's a knock at the door. He glances at his watch, bugger, he doesn't have time for this, and he hefts his bag over his shoulder and moves toward the door. Whoever this is will have to wait until he's back next week (if he even comes back). Jeff pulls the door open and- "Jeff Angelo?" smirks the man in the long coat standing in his doorway. "I think I'm a couple years late, always meant to find you right after he got to you, but I'm no good with time. Not like him, at least. The name's Captain Jack Harkness, you'll want to come with me."

Name two things you like about yourself, then pass it on to the first ten people on your dash. #TeamSelfEsteem

1. I’m a good writer.

2. I’m a good public speaker.

(…Okay, now it just sounds like I’m applying for a job.)

I like that I can make pretty much any art/craft/creative thing that I put my mind to.

I like that I can handle almost anything life throws at me, even if I do need to take a moment later to decompress from it.

I like that people who know me in real life say I've got spark. It's a thing I'd like to believe about myself. I'm working on it. 

I like that I believe the best of people until it's been categorically proven that I can't.

i haven’t seen it either. but i am also old and don’t keep up with disney anymore.

oh good, i'm not the only person who hasn't seen it, haha. i've found that i typically enjoy disney films, but i'm not the person who makes it a point to watch them. i am also way more likely to watch a movie in the theater than at home, and the likelihood of me choosing to sit amongst children in the cinema is very small. but when i watch them, i like them! 

HOWEVER SINCE YOU DON'T KEEP UP WITH DISNEY IMMA TELL YOU THIS FUN FACT I HAVE IN MY BACK POCKET: jake and the neverland pirates, which is this new disney cartoon show about the pirates from neverland, travel around on a LIVING PIRATE SHIP NAMED BUCKY.

I didn’t see it until last year when I was playing catch-up on ALL THE MOVIES. Just the wrong timeframe I think.

we must've been in that weird too-old/too-young age for disney when it came out? i think.
