Trying my imp of Galvanic Goggles out at the moment, which I was lucky to receive free in my last BPAL imp order.
Erm . . . well, I did just put it on a few minutes ago, so maybe I need to let it sink in better, but so far, it's proving just too masculine for me. Plus, it's quite strong & I wasn't expecting it to be so strong, & I've got a fair bit on one wrist. (& it might have even got on my nose during my usual obsessive wrist-sniffing after I put it on)
I've been listening to the heap of audios I acquired in preparation for my new iTouch, which, somehow, Amazon is now informing me, has been lost in the mail. (Well, near enough, anyhow; they're going to call me back on Monday & if I haven't got it by then, they'll send me another one) Incredibly frustrating & disappointing, yes, especially since I've been waiting nearly a whole month for it & have been waiting years to actually get one.
But, audios! I have Situation Vacant, Nevermore, Solitare, Medicinal Purposes, Assassin in the Limelight, The Juggernauts, No Man's Land, City of Spires, Wreck of the Titan, Night's Black Agents, Legend of the Cybermen, Cobwebs & the stageplays. I've actually listened to City of Spires, Legend of the Cybermen, Solitare, Medicinal Purposes, Assassin in the Limelight, The Juggernauts & No Man's Land, along with a relisten of An Earthly Child earlier tonight.
No Man's Land was actually kind of disturbing, I have to say, but not on a Natural History of Fear level . . . it was more of a story I found very disturbing in how dark it was, rather than anything else. (& now I'm debating just how much Seven & Ace even care about Hex now) Medicinal Purposes & Assassin in the Limelight are loosely related, but I found the latter not quite as engaging as the former. It dealt with American history, which, despite bad Amercian accents, I love when the Doctor gets involved in, but . . . it just sort of left me cold. I think I preferred the conflicts between Six & Evelyn much more in Medicinal Purposes.
( & Solitare, since it's newer & some silly capslockery )
& yes, I was a very bad girl & listened to City of Spires, then went right into Legend of the Cybermen - very, very bad Betsy! I couldn't help myself! THERE WAS ZOE & CYBERMEN & SIX & JAMIE & SIX & JAMIE & ZOE, I HAD TO DO IT!
If it makes anything better, I know there were bits I didn't understand due to not having heard the other two. But I wanted to save them to listen on my new iTouch. But I might end up listening to them sooner, since it's been lost. ::sigh:: Nothing's ever simple with me, alas. Ah, fuckery.
Also, I'm in a really big Eight mood for some reason. Not EDA-related, but solely audio-related. & maybe the TVM. & lots of Eight/Charley fic. & possibly some Zagreus-related fun. Hmm. Must find all of that, & quickly, if I may.
Hmm. How ironic this should happen when I'm nearly done with my silly little Eight/Fitz mix . . . thing. That I'm still not sure I should really be doing at all, because everyone I know & some that I don't know have done it all before & all far superior to what I could have done. But . . . I just like embarrassing myself, apparently, eh? ::shrugs blithely::
&&&&&
I was thinking back to this silly, whimsical post I made once, what feels like eons ago today. Goodness me, I was a silly bunny, wasn't I? Silly bunny, yes, but it was a fun exercise, thinking up each of the different bedrooms that the Doctor would have in all his different regenerations. Silly & delightful!
& so, I did it with BPAL after a while.
O, honestly - I always do this! It's really too much fun. ::giggle:: It's a lovely, silly, fun little game to play that I should play more often with people!
Though it can be rather hard. One is a very hard Doctor to pick for - he's the classical gentleman of the lot! Even more than Three & Eight! So it would have to be very subtle or traditional . . . as odd as it may sound, I might actually pick something from the Phoenix Steamworks Research Facility line - perhaps No. 93 Engine or even Galvanic Goggles - I keep thinking of One working on the TARDIS controls & engines a lot, for some reason, which makes me think of mechanics. Galvanic Goggles has a hint of tobacco flowers, which would also fit him, since One is said to be the only Doctor ever seen smoking a pipe once. Though No. 93 Engine matches the idea of him working on bits of the TARDIS better. Hmm. But Velvet in the Bewitching Brews section would be welcoming & cosy for him - after all, he is a grandfather: Envelop yourself in the soft, sensual embrace of gentle sandalwood warmed by cocoa vanilla and a veil of deep myrrh. I would actually say it's a perfect match!
Two's also a bit hard, I think. Something clean, but hardly easy to pin down. Nothing too traditional either, or anything honestly flirty - whatever it is, it's very quiet, yet memorable, like Two himself. Perhaps 51 from the Wanderlust collection: Luminescent, glowing, and otherworldly: green mandarin, neroli, honeydew, white amber, guava, freesia, white and green musks hovering over desert scrub, smashed wood, and the dry, biting scent of night air over the Groom Lake salt flats. It could be slightly overpowering, but if worn lightly, could be perfect!
Though he's also a very Zen space beatnik, so perhaps he'd enjoy Kathmandu: The scent of sacred incense swirling up the steep slopes to Swayambhunath Stupa. Saffron, blessed sandalwood, Himalayan cedar and the miraculous lotus of the Buddha with chiuri bark and Nepalese spices.
Of course . . . maybe he prefers Glasgow, to tease certain hot-blooded young Highlanders that he knows . . .
( & of course, I had to ramble about the others as well! )
One day, I'll figure out something for Eleven. Promise. ::beams:: For now, I'm feeling quite weary & am longing to retire to bed. Goodnight all,
