That brief period where everyone was turning characters into Pixar people via toonme appears to be over now. But I found some Doctor Who ones I’d whipped up during said period! And I decided to edit them a little because toonme is, uh, very possibly not designed for anyone but light-skinned blue-eyed people? Tweaked some colours and ended up with-
Today is #DoctorWhoDay, aka the anniversary of the show. I’ve been trying to get back into video editing recently so I thought for the occasion I’d show you this SUPER OLD backwards video I once made of Amy Pond’s journey. People told me at the time it was tear-jerking so maybe it is! One day soon I wanna try remaking it with actually good footage.
Yay, here’s Amy!
Her colour had to be yellow, of course. And the Crack in Time had to be there. PS, can you spot the hidden sunflowers?
Ten years ago in the Doctor Whoniverse Amy and Rory got married!
Obviously the world is very different now to what it was in 2010. But the Ponds and their relationship have brought me a lot of good over the years.
Here’s to the next 10!
The Arthur-and-Karen starring Doctor Who short which came out today! Oh my GOD this is the damn story I’ve been waiting for ever since PS came out all those years ago. It raises so many questions. (What can the Ponds do with the only smartphone in the world?!) I am just so, so glad the Who writers remember that Amy and Rory had a second child.
As well as all the other stuff, The Eleventh Hour rewatch/tweetalong was today! I thought I’d do the same thing I did with Vincent and the Doctor and gather up all the most interesting tweets from the cast and crew.
Today’s Doctor Who short story was this gorgeous little thing. It’s narrated by Caitlin Blackwood, aka young Amelia!
“Except Rory.”
I love this so much. It is absolutely damn perfect. Thank you, everyone involved, for not forgetting Amy!
This day ten years ago The Eleventh Hour aired and I met Amy Pond for the first time. To this day she is not popular, but I love unpopular women.
Happy anniversary to Amy, the reckless, violent, messed-up, anxiety-laden, so very dear companion of my heart.
God I forgot how punch-you-in-the-heart this episode was. Even the little fake ident the BBC guy whipped up made me sad.
Lots of people involved in the making of this episode livetweeted it – Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Tony Curran, Bill Nighy and Richard Curtis (from Emma Freud’s account). They shared lots of great, funny stuff! And then some serious stuff. Honestly the whole thing reads like a joint interview when you put it together, so I DID put (a lot of it) together-
