Of life and similar things

[lackadaisicalnereid]

+ FINALLY done with my icon challenges for this month (2 is too many for me and my slow ways). It's weird without the pressure of icons that need to be made

+ Well, they call me the Doctor; I don't know why. I call me the Doctor, too. I still don't know why.

bless Eleven.

+ So, hm, 5x01 - 5x05 of DW was FANTASTIC, other than 5x03, which was just very good. And then there's a lot of very good episodes, but I miss the ~feel of fantastic episodes. BUT I have all the hope for The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang, obviously. I'm watching The Lodger right now. OH GOD THE DOCTOR IS MAKING AN OMELETTE.

+ Also LOL at Amy ~driving the TARDIS.

+ I love Eleven. OH MY GOD HE LOOKS GOOD IN THOSE GLASSES. Also my hair looks sort of like Eleven's when it's wet. And I wore a bow tie yesterday. BOW TIES ARE COOL.

+ I love Amy too.

+ The episode with the Doctor being all domestic makes me want a high school/college Eleven/Amy AU where he cooks and does other domestic things /whatever. Any ideas anyone?

+ Real life is weird. College should start soon. Doing some English tutoring, it's fun.

QUESTION:

What new shows/shows are you watching these seasons and what should I watch? :D

(Also I'm thinking of watching Survivor. SEASON 25. How can it exist, still?)

I read Season of mists today. GLORIOUS.

To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.

I sort of ship Morpheus/Nada. It's dark and creepy, but still. Like, her awesomeness is confirmed when she SLAPS THE HELL OUT OF HIM.

Season of Mists is one of my favourite volumes. You get to meet the family! And the Devil! (One of my favourite versions of Lucifer.)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Hm, can't really say I really had much feels about Nada. But Dream is AMAZING in all shapes and forms. Love that ~man.

I can't wait to start the next one <3 ACTUALLY I could go read right now :D

LUCIFER WAS AMAZING. I mean, the mere idea to punish Dream by giving him the keys of Hell? PERFECT.

#5 is A Game of You, I believe. It's... well I love it, but the style is a little different.

If you like Lucifer, you should definitely read the Sandman spin-off (title: Lucifer). After finishing Sandman, ofc.

Precisely. The thing about the Devil isn't necessarily that he's powerful (though he is, as evidenced by Morpheus mentioning that the Devil is "far, far more powerful than him"). It's because of his cunning, his ability to make things turn out his way.

From what I see it has a Barbie, which lol, but it's still Sandman so I can still imagine it being amazing.

Oh I will, thanks for the advice :)

YES, amazing. ALSO can we take a second to talk about how MAGNIFICENT Death is? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HER :)

[rosaxx50.livejournal.com]

#5 should be known as the Toys issue, just saying. But Barbie is glorious, don't let her name fool you. She's the sort of person who draws chess boards on her face with make-up.

DEATH IS THE BEST. Remember that time she dressed up as a runner because the dead were coming back to life and she was overrun? Weirdly, it... sort of fits, though? Death is a tragedy and leaves people grieving, but at the same time, in real life anyway, it's the simplest of states. You're dead or you're not.

Oh I love Barbie so far <3 (I've read about half.)

Death indeed <3 I LOVE her and Dream's interaction. They should talk more.

[rosaxx50.livejournal.com]

So wait, did you start reading during Seasons of Mists, or did you read all the earlier issues?

Lol, if she and Dream talked more, Dream would probably be much more sensible. But then he wouldn't have the gloomy over-the-top angst that we all love so much.

I've read the first 4, now I'm halfway done with the Barbie one :)

Your Dream/Death comment is true. Oh and is there any good Sandman fic out there, if you know/have looked by any chance?

[rosaxx50.livejournal.com]

Haha, ok then. But remember what Barbie was like back in Doll's House? THERE WAS SO MUCH UNDER THE SURFACE that we never saw.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find Sandman fic? Um there are some Sandman/Doctor Who and Sandman/Firefly cross-overs that were very cute. But I think there are spoilers for later in the series in everything I've read.

Worlds' End (Doctor Who/Sandman)

The Entourage (Doctor Who/Sandman)

Lord of Time, King of Dreams (Doctor Who/Sandman, set during Doomsday)

Finding Neverland (Death meets a certain singer who died in 2009)

Sunlight Through Birch Leaves (Mostly a mood piece about Dream's library)
There are some things you forget, and some things you remember.

Dreamtime
You spend a night in the Dreaming with the King of that place. He shows you many things.

Incarnate (Harry Potter/Sandman)
Summary: in which Severus Snape summons Death, and endeavours to bend her to his will. (trolol, that's going to work out so well for him)

Basically, here is the list of Sandman stories for yuletide. Check it out, maybe, after you've finished the series, because spoilers abound.

There was a really, really good Firefly/Sandman fic I read a while back, but I can't seem to find it now.
