I literally have no self control when I’m reading books I’ll skip like 6 paragraphs and read the dialogue and then feel bad and go back and read the paragraphs it’s a vicious cycle
For once this is like one of those ‘genuine relateable’ posts that I am shocked by like I 100% did not know this was a thing people did, a thing 118,000 people did.

Clara Cosplay! (#1)
Okay, for the first time ever I might have the opportunity to properly cosplay! And I thought I might go as Clara in her outfit from Flatline. I have other ideas, but this one’s the first choice.
This ensemble right here:
Also, wearing it means I’d get to carry around a sonic screwdriver and a mini TARDIS all day-
First of all, I love this top:
It’s from H&M, but they don’t seem to sell it anymore. This one (£9.99) looks pretty similar, but I’m not sure it’s exactly the same colour-wise:
Or there’s this one from Topshop (£30.00), although that’s not perfect either
This one (£27.00) is actually by far the closest, but it’s for dudes. Still:
Okay, that’s the choice of shirts, onto the awesome jacket. I actually have a similar-coloured jacket! But it’s not so similar that I could wear it, I think.
There are like almost no jackets like this anywhere??? What’s going on? This one is almost perfect –
But it’s sold out! Gaaah! Maybe this one? Although it’s a lot more expensive than I’d like…
Maybe I’ll have to stick with the one I already have after all? It’s a bit short though, and it has a lot more zips and stuff than Clara’s does.
I already have some shoes and jeans that would be fine, so onto accessories:
Black leather convertible bag….holy shit leather bags are expensive. Okay, maybe leave that one for a bit. ONTO THE FUN ACCESSORIES:
You can get a sonic screwdriver from Argos for less than a tenner, hooray:
But I also need a small TARDIS! Maybe the Flight Control one would do the trick:
But that’s pretty small, so maybe a TARDIS trash can? Alas, although it’s the right size, it’s also expensive and obviously, well, has dustbin parts:
WOW COSPLAY IS REALLY HARD, HOW DO YOU GUYS DO THIS
Friend: *does something mildly upsetting*
Me: *doesn’t completely freak out*
Me: look at that Mental Health™

6 things I made that I’m most proud of
@taiey tagged me in this not long ago, and I assumed it was a 6 things I made this year meme so I waited a week or so to do it, and then I realised it was actually just (’just’) a 6 things I made anytime that I’m most proud of meme. Oooh. Ooooooh….
(I’ll just stick to fanfiction/fandom stuff)
1. I’m still very fond of Things They Talked About In The Playground. (Was that really almost four years ago? Jesus.) I don’t know how it happened, but god it’s important to me. Still chills me, too.
2. I kinda like my article about female Star Wars fandom, the Prequels and what it’s like to Like Boy Stuff when you’re A Girl
3. The Doctor Who Bechdel Test blog and related infographics etc wasn’t remotely all me, but I think it kinda counts. Also I love making infographics now
4. Humanity In The Abstract is a deeply personal story about life, death, love and madness, as told with the assistance of an apocalypse, a blue guy, a demon child and an anthropomorphic personification of mortality who sometimes speaks in emoji. It’s sad, and weird, and flawed, but it gives me courage sometimes.
5. The Storyteller is a Spider-Man fanfic set in the universe presented by the Raimi movies, in which everything had…sort of more realism, I thought, than the average superhero movie. This is the tale of a good, decent woman who was just on the periphery of Peter Parker’s story but deserved her own.
6. A late entry! A week ago, inspired by The Force Awakens, I wrote A Snow Song. Which is Star Wars meets A Christmas Carol, because…well, those are two works of fiction so deeply embedded into the public consciousness that they ought to meet at some point? I like the whole thing, but mostly I like it for this one line I think: “Do you think there is anything so evil or so powerful in the galaxy, Luke, that could permanently part a parent from its child?“ I love that line. It sums up Star Wars for me.
