Star Wars Gifs

Okay, so I went a little (REALLY) crazy on the internet and started searching Star Wars gifs. But once you start you can't stop... :O





























Chipmunk Sherlock and Watson

This is pretty much the most amazing Chipmunk'd video ever. XD
I can't stop laughing.

Sketches by Elara Dorne

*Bad Wolf intensifies*
 This is my first (successful) attempt at drawing Rose Tyler, or as I like to think of her in this picture the Bad Wolf. It took lots of tweaking and shading but I eventually got everything generally the way I wanted. Her eyes are the best part of the picture in my opinion. Couldn't get the mouth just right, the way I wanted it to look like. In the original picture Rose had her mouth open slightly. Blah, I hate drawing teeth. But in the end it turned out okay with that intense face.
The second sketch is one of Padme, but it is a little harder to tell which character she is suppose to be. Padme's hair is always so beautiful and cool even if some of the hair styles are a little weird. Her eyes eyes are less round in real life but it sort of turned out this way. Got the reflection in her eyes though and her eye brows are actually like that. And so is her nose. All in all I pretty much like this sketch.

Lost Review


I didn't watch "Lost" when it first came out--I was only 7 in when it came out--but I started watching it on Netflix in 2011. While I have not finished the series, I am nearly halfway done with season 4; I think I've seen the show enough to rate it.

First off, let me say that the main reason I started watching "Lost"--as I have with many shows--is because of its popularity. I grew up hearing about the show even without seeing it herself. I didn't know the characters, and I didn't know the plot beyond people stuck on an island, but I knew about the show. I even know when it ended (2010, in case anyone's wondering), because it was probably one of the biggest finales in television history.

Now, on to the show. "Lost" is a very interesting, very strange series, but I'm a little addicted to it. Despite some frustrating things (the show is very, very confusing at times), the show manages to pull me in. Now I must admit that season 1-3 were the best, and season 4 and beyond don't look as good (two words: time travel), but overall "Lost" is a very good show.

One of the reasons I liked this show so much is because of the characters. Yes, some of them get on your nerves (*cough* *cough* Anna-Lucia *cough* *cough*), and some of them are just useless (*cough* *cough* Nikki and Paulo *cough* *cough* Shannon and Boone), but overall the majority of them are very compelling. These characters are very, very fleshed out, and their layers have layers. You think you know the characters, but they continue to surprise you until after the first season; actually, some of them still surprise you after that.

Of course, there are problems with the show, the biggest one being the plot. It is intriguing, yes, but it's so confusing at times! You would think a show about castaways would be simplistic, but no! The writers have managed to come up with some of the craziest, more ridiculous storylines I have ever come across. There is a black smoke monster--yes, a monster--that seemingly eats people; there are cursed numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) that cause very bad luck; the Island can cure people's illnesses and diseases; later seasons include fast forwards (they enter the future) and flash sideways (don't ask me--I haven't seen them yet); there is time traveling, which has never made sense... it's very, very crazy, and I sometimes have to question my sanity and why I am still watching the show.

Another problem with "Lost", though it is on a much lower lever, was the POVs. There are many characters in the show, but most of the time, there is an episode centered on that one person. I get why they do it--it advances their characters development--but it's kind of hard to do that when you have an assemble cast. I think you can still have an episode centered on the person, but you could also have the other characters doing a lot. What I'm trying to say is that it sometimes seems as if the person is working independently rather than together with the other cast members, and I love show with a large group of people.

This is a more of a personal thing, but the flashbacks got on my nerves at times. Sometimes it was just boring to go from the current time to go back to the flashbacks. Maybe they just weren't as interesting as being on the island for me, but I remember that I was skipping them at one point. I guess I just feel as if the show has too much going on sometimes.

Overall, though, I enjoy "Lost". I wouldn't consider myself a megafan, but I am a fan. The show is just so intriguing; despite the confusing plot lines, it pulls you in. You want to know what happens next, because the mystery is just so bewildering that you have to find the explanation for it. That's "Lost" for you, folks: anything but normal.



Doctor Who Fan Fiction

Hello guys! I've been working on some Doctor Who fan fic and have compiled several character and character group overviews. I've basically worked out the plot but now I need a name for my story before moving forward. If you could read this then suggest something I would appreciate it!



                      Synopsis:
  • Carly Wellings, a freelance journalist from Boston has been struggling to make ends meet with her job. The level of stress only increases when she starts to receive messages on her old typewriters and phones, calling out to her for help. Thinking she is going crazy Carly finally extracts a clear message from one of the transmissions and decides to act upon it. The message tells her to wait at one of the busiest bus stops in New York and wait for a stranger to appear, and a stranger does in fact appear. A man in a blue suit who calls himself the Doctor.

        Character and character groups:
THE ALIENS:
  • The aliens searching for Carly Wellings are called the Turalok, a humanoid species born without mouths. They communicate telepathically among themselves but almost any other kind can not hear them so they use the technology of other species to communicate with other species. The Turalok wear masks over their mouths and usually also over their heads and wear ceremonial robes customary with their race. They are brilliant engineers and have devoted their lives to peace and protecting others but have slowly been killed off one by one or sold as slaves to more powerful species. One of their greatest technology is a frequency cloak that cancels any frequencies trying to track you or your technology down. They gave this to Carly the night they saved her from the Sontaran and now as they are being hunted by the bounty hunters they need the cloaking device to hide and save themselves.

THE BOUNTY HUNTERS:
  • The bounty hunters are a group of time traveling sportsmen who take pride in acquiring trophies from the most rare of species and also consider any species beside human to be inferior and animal-like compared to themselves. The bounty hunters are led by a ex soldier named Captain Karri Suends who takes her orders from a general Jad. They have tracked the Turalok down to twenty first century New York and have been hunting for them ever since while trying to extract information from a captured Turalok. The one flaw of the Turalok cloaking technology is that if one has the height of tracking codes and help you can track the cloaking signal because it is so unique, if just very faintly. But two or more tracking devices together disrupts and disperses the signal, making it almost impossible to find. Karri and her subordinate Harrison Gallef realize that Carly has a vital role to play in the capture and killing of their sport and try to bait her out and capture her for information.

CARLY WELLINGS
  • Carly is a twenty two year old engaged journalist living in Boston, works in New York. When she was a small child the Turalok saved her from being killed by a Sontaran then placed a cloaking device on the girl to protect her from other aliens though she did not know it at the time. Now with her fiance gone into service with SpecOps Carly is struggling to make ends meet. She loves collecting old technology from the twenties and thirties specifically. She has several typewriters, old phones and radios to inspire her while she is writing. Recently Carly has been getting strange messages on the old phones, radios and typewriters and they have started in her phone and computer. A voice told her to meet at a specific bus stop on a certain street, one of the busiest in the city. Meanwhile the bounty hunters have also been trying to track her down but her sent is too scrambled for them to make out. While all this is going on the Doctor has been tracking all three down but has come to the conclusion that without Carly he will not be able to save the Turalok.

THE DOCTOR'S PART:

  • After the Doctor wiped Donna Noble's memories of traveling in the Tardis he ends up in Manhattan tracking down the Turalok in hopes that he can help them return to their home. Picking up the frequencies of the cloaking technology the Doctor finds out who Carly Welling is and connects her to the Turalok. He also picked up several transmissions between Karri and general Jad. Knowing that he will have to move fast the Doctor sets up a meeting with Carly to try to unravel the mystery.   

If you guys could help me out by suggesting a name for this fan fic that would be awesome, thanks! Also tell me what you think of the plot so far and if it makes any sense.

The birth of a roleplay, pt. 2...

(this roleplay is a two-day special, due to everyone not being able to participate on our first day)

To fill you in about this roleplay, the 10th Doctor and his companion, Rose, visit a strange land called Hyrule, where they are immediately greeted by a strange imp girl named Midna, who is the Princess of the Twilight Realm. She tells them that Hyrule is once again in trouble and that they all need the Doctor's help.
Apparently, black creatures have been wreaking havoc upon the land, as well as a blue hedgehog.
The hedgehog then appears and introduces himself as Sonic.

As the Doctor studies him, two other visitors appear, being the 9th Doctor and Donna Noble.
Here, 10, 9, Rose and Donna begin to have a confusing, wibbily wobbily timey wimey discussion, as Link appears, sword unsheathed.
He questions how Sonic got out of his cell and Sonic bolts into the T.A.R.D.I.S., where Link chases after him. 10 follows and among the chaos, Sonic accidentally knocks against a button and causes the T.A.R.D.I.S. to be on high alert.
Meanwhile, yet another visitor appears out of the shadows, an agent named Black Widow, who explains that she is there to take them all to S.H.I.E.L.D., saying that they need the Doctor's help.

Princess Midna detects that the black creatures tracked them down and goes to confront them, where the Doctor follows, and she puts up a protective barrier to keep the black creatures from getting to the others.
The Doctor questions what the black creatures are and so does Midna, when a young boy suddenly appears, slashing away at them, making them disappear.
He introduces himself as Sora and is apparently friends with the Doctor, where he then explains that the creatures are Heartless, though are a new breed, that he suspects the dark fairy, Maleficent, had something to do with.

There, his friend, Riku, appears, and Midna transports herself, Link and Sonic to a location the blue hedgehog can't escape from.
On the way out of the T.A.R.D.I.S., Sora bumps into Donna and Black Widow, whom were tensely conversing, where Sora discovers Donna has something on her back. The Doctor explains that this creature alters time and creates paradoxes and orders the boy to destroy it. He does, but the others realize the Heartless were returning and so all pile back into the T.A.R.D.I.S..
Just when they are about to leave, Sora yells that he has to protect the 9th Doctor's T.A.R.D.I.S., or else the Heartless will use it to destroy even more worlds. And so him and Riku jump off, 9 in tow, and Sora uses his keyblade to open the T.A.R.D.I.S. and lock himself and the other two inside.
Black Widow suggests that her and the others travel to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
Sora suggests his small party track down the heart of Hyrule to seal it, so the Heartless would be defeated on that world.
And we are yet to find out what happens. :)

Characters:
Character Queen- Princess Midna, Link, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sora
Charlotte Black- Tenth Doctor, Rose and Riku
Elara Dorne- Ninth Doctor, Donna Noble and Black Widow
Artemis- Darth Vader and Loki
River Song- River Song and her character, Ariella Wylde.

Let the madness continue!

Doctor Donna and the Girl who Forgot

So I thought I would do a blog post about Donna Noble. Just because Donna is so sassy and smart without even trying to be. (Okay maybe she is trying to be sassy, which is totally cool). And I recently watched the episode where she Uh.. Leaves.



 The first time I watched The Runaway Bride, Donna's first episode, I was more than a little skeptical. Of course I was still reeling from the blow of losing Rose. I loved Rose Tyler as much as the Doctor did and did not want to see her go. Like my first Doctor she was the first companion I saw and learned to grow attached to. No one warned me that the Doctor has had more than just one companion and that in the end, all companions leave in someway or another. I was traumatized, I admit.
   And then there was Donna.

Yes, my reaction was just like the Doctor's when Donna Noble suddenly appeared in the TARDIS. I was like please! Let the Doctor cry, let him try to deal with his grief! And then this random person in her wedding dress suddenly shows up in the TARDIS.
"What?! What?... Wha.. What?!"
Let the sass begin!

I admit, it took a while to get used to Donna. She didn't mind yelling and snarking the Doctor at every single opportunity and was generally hostile for the first half of the episode. That is, until the Doctor starting saving her life. And in the end, Donna saved him.
I was sure that she would be the new companion and at the end of Donna's first episode I realized that I wanted her to be, still feeling slightly guilty that I got over Rose so quick. Donna helped the Doctor defeat the creepy spider lady and saved him from being drowned. I thought everything was perfect. They were going to travel in the TARDIS together and we'd have another awesome few seasons with Ten. But no. When the Doctor asked Donna to come with him she said no, and he said no to a Christmas dinner. Of course he did, stupid alien! (sorry, not you. The Doctor was a stupid alien, I mean. You're probably a very smart alien).
   And so we began again, this time with Martha Jones.


   Don't get me wrong. I'm not hating on Martha. She's caring and brave but there was a tension between her and the Doctor that the Doctor didn't even know about til she was walking out the TARDIS door. She loved him and he could not tell. In the end, it was better for her to leave. Our little fandom brains just couldn't handle the tension any longer.

And so we were left alone again, in the dark. No one was there for the Doctor. Something had to be done!

And then Donna came in again, like us, searching for the Doctor and wondering what he was up to. Adipose. Remember them? Yeah, me neither. We were also introduced to Donna's grandfather Wilfred Mott, one of the most important characters in ten's regeneration.
The Doctor and Donna were reunited and this time she said yes, and may I say that they got along famously together.
Causing Vesuvius to erupt, saving the Ood, defeating the Sontarans and accidentally taking Martha along for another adventure in The Doctor's Daughter. The Doctor's Daughter was one of my favorite episodes. It showed Donna helping the Doctor to except Jenny and in turn the Doctor showed Jenny that she could be so much more than a soldier.
">(shhhhhh! Jenny's alive!) Spoilers.
">Not to mention meeting Agatha Christie, defeating a giant wasp and running into River Song in Silence in the Library.


Jenny: And Time Lords, what are they for? 
The Doctor: For? They're not for anything.
Jenny: So what do we do?

The Doctor: I travel. Through time and space. 
Donna Noble: He saves worlds, rescues civilizations, defeats terrible creatures and runs a lot. Seriously, there's an outrageous amount of running involved. 
The Doctor: [opens hidden door] Got it! 
[shouts echo
The Doctor: Now, what were you saying about running? 

Donna Noble: How about you, are you alright? 
The Doctor: Oh, I'm always all right. 
Donna Noble: Is "All right" special time-lord code for... not really all right at all? 
The Doctor: Why? 
Donna Noble: Because I'm alright too. 

Donna Noble: Oy! And you be careful, all right? 
The Doctor: Ahh, taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight? What could possibly go wrong?


Donna Noble: Yeah but think about it. There's a murder, a mystery, and Agatha Christie.
The Doctor: So? Happens to me all the time. 
Donna Noble: No, but isn't that a bit weird? Agatha Christie didn't walk around surrounded by murders, not really. I mean that's like meeting Charles Dickens, and he's surrounded by ghosts, at Christmas. 

Donna: What did you do? 
The Doctor: Guess what I've got Donna. 
The Doctor: Pockets. 
Donna: How did they fit in there? 
The Doctor: They're bigger on the inside. 

Lucius: Who are you? 
The Doctor: I am... Spartacus. 
Donna Noble: And so am I. 
Lucius: Mr. and Mrs. Spartacus? 
The Doctor: Oh, no no no, we're not married. 
Donna Noble: [overlapping the Doctor] We're not together. 
Lucius: Oh, brother and sister? Yes, of course, you look very much alike. 
The DoctorDonna Noble: [looking at each other; surprised and a bit disgruntled] Really? 



But then there began to be foreshadowing of Donna's demise. Starting with "The Fires of Pompeii".  
"There's something on your back."

And the Ood also confirmed that Donna Noble would soon be leaving.  I began hoping that she would leave like Martha, because she wanted to. Wishful thinking of course, I mean come on. This is Doctor Who we are talking about! Plus Donna kept insisting that she would  never leave and would always travel with the Doctor. Yeah, Rose said the same thing. And if you think about it, there were many many things leading up to Donna's ending her travels with the Doctor. She could not remember who the Doctor was or any of her adventures in "Forest of the Dead"   .
Also in Turn Left anything memory she had ever had with the Doctor was completely gone. She had to rely on trusting Rose to get things back to normal. Turn Left made it clear that Donna was no ordinary person like she claimed to be. Time was changing around her. And she was the most important person in the whole wide universe. Whatever that meant, I knew that it could not be good for her in the end.
I breathed a long sigh of relief when Donna woke up again after she sacrificed herself in the alternate universe. Honestly I didn't think she would make it. But she did, at least for that episode. And so did the Doctor.
But then she had to go and say it didn't she?
"Bad Wolf."
 When she created a clone of the Doctor she not only saved the entire universe but also created a happy ending for Rose Tyler and the Doctor. But not for her. For Donna it was the end of her time traveling in the TARDIS.



In the end, Donna Noble was the sassiest most important girl who forgot. And she will always be one of my favorite Who companions.

The birth of a roleplay..

'Ello, authors and visitors! Character Queen here, coming to you with a fabulous start of a crazy adventure in roleplaying. Now, before we begin, lemme just go over a few things to help the roleplay stay fun, exciting, safe and clean!

1. As you all know, this is a CLEAN blog and I try to keep it family-friendly as best as I can, so please avoid any swear words except for freaking/flipping, crud/crap, darn/dang, oh my gosh, heck, screw it up/I screwed up or..you know..kid-style name-calling. ;P I went over the language bit before, but just giving you a little reminder. You can use OMG, but just keep it that way. One can automatically interpret it as "Oh my gosh".

2. You can make someone in love with another (I think we can all agree we'd make them boy AND girl, uhum), have crushes, flirt, but don't do it to the point of making others uncomfortable and don't add any weird undertones, if you know what I mean.

3. Please be nice and don't argue on a personal level, only if you're roleplaying as a character or TO a character. We've all gotta be nice!

4. There's no specific timing, so there's no pressure! Just peck at this roleplay as much as you want.

5. There's no limit to the amount of characters you can use, but just make sure they are characters that no one else is using at the time. You will be able to claim those characters through-out the day and when the next day comes, you'll have to choose new ones, only of course if someone else takes the ones you used.
This will give fairness and allow everyone to have a chance at being who they like. :D

6. If any non-author wants to pitch in on the roleplay, don't be shy! You can use the chat box or the comments below. Just pick a character or two. But the rules apply to you, just the same, so you'll have to follow all the above steps.

7. I'd appreciate it if we avoid using any witchcraft or vampires or werewolves or demons. Zombies and mummies are ok, just as long as you don't get too graphic about it. Just please respect that these are things I am personally not comfortable playing with, and I'm sure others aren't, as well and offending people is the last thing I want!
Also remember, when you have fighting parts, don't get too gory!

That's all I ask. ;) Thank you for your compliance and enjoy yourselves!
