You’re a mother, aren’t you? There’s kindness in your eyes.
And sadness. But a ferocity too.

I loved their relationship so much, I like to think in some little corner of the universe Mickey and Martha’s kids called Sarah Jane “Auntie Sarah”.
Everything’s better with headcanons, part one
Even sent back to a time when life was harder, particularly for women, Amy Pond didn’t let it deter her. She continued to be a journalist- she wrote travel articles under the name Amelia Williams, not wanting to take her name away from her younger self. Then, as time went by, she began writing more hard-hitting stuff, standing up for causes she believed in and even at times risking her life (along with her husband) for the truth.
When she reached her eighties, Amy met a little girl visiting New York on a school trip. It was the girl’s first time abroad, so Amy befriended her and talked to her and gave her some journalism tips. Even as the years- many years- passed, Sarah Jane Smith never forgot her.
Mother is the name for God…
Row 1: Nancy (The Empty Child), Mickey’s grandma Rita-Ann (Rise Of The Cybermen), Elton’s mother (Love And Monsters), Trish (Fear Her), Roseanna (Vampires Of Venice), Ambrose (The Hungry Earth)
Row 2: Jackie, Amy & baby Melody, Madge, Francine, Sylvia
Row 3: Rose, River, Lily & Cyril, Martha, Donna
Row 4: Sarah Jane & Luke, Tabitha (Amy’s mother), Adelaide, the Doctor’s mother (Yep, turns out that was supposed to be her.)
Favourite characters of 2011 (sticking to ‘active’ characters only- so no Marthas or Eowyns or Skywalkers, alas)
Rory Pond (Doctor Who): Because he’s a brave, loyal, flawed hero.
Amy Pond (Doctor Who): The exact same reasons except also she likes to dress as a pirate.
Mels Zucker/Melody Pond (Doctor Who): It took me a while to warm to River (I like her now, of course) but I liked Mels instantly- I don’t know why. Then I wrote a lot of fanfiction about her incredibly unorthodox childhood, thusly spending a lot of time in her head. Now I really love her.
Kelly Bailey (Misfits): Do I even need a reason for her? She is amazing. Kick-ass, loyal, confident, brave, beat up Nazis, headbutted Hitler.
Shaun the probation worker (Misfits): Obviously I wouldn’t want to spend any time with him in real life, in fact I’d hate his guts, but he was such a slimy, sleazy, magnificent bastard that I looked forward to his scenes most of all.
Marnie (Misfits): I deliberated for about twenty seconds whether to put Marnie or Nathan on the list, but it had to be Marnie, because she’s basically a female Nathan and is awesome.
Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter): I wish I was more like Luna. I’m slowly getting there.
Neville Longbottom (Harry Potter): There are a lot of badasses in the world. He’s the best.
FRYCROFT Mycroft Holmes (Sherlock Holmes): This is the most important man in the British government, who casually strolls naked round his house and flirts with the servants.
John Watson (Sherlock Holmes): Come on, it’s Watson!
Mary Watson (Sherlock Holmes): The unsung hero of A Game Of Shadows. Hey, it was her who actually translated all of Moriarty’s notebooks. And she knows how to handle a gun.
Rapunzel (Tangled): God she’s awesome. Hyper, childlike, creative, clever, and yet can fight when the chips are down.
Jodie ‘Scout’ Allen (Waterloo Road): Not many people know this, but I’m addicted to Waterloo Road. And she was my favourite of the kids. I dunno what exactly it was drew me to her…probably because she was treated appallingly by everyone, including her horrible mother, and came out swinging nonetheless.
Daniel Chalk (Waterloo Road): And he’s my favourite of the teachers. Look at his squishy face. I wish the romance between him and Janeece had worked out, bloke deserves a little happiness. Fun fact: Mark Benton was Clive in Rose.
Miranda Hart (Miranda): Okay, I know that there wasn’t actually a series of Miranda this year, but she did show up on the Michael McIntyre show and stuff, so she’s going in here. Also I want her for the Twelveth Doctor.
Sarah Jane Smith (The Sarah Jane Adventures): This should have been her year.
