Ello lovelies! It's Griffin! I'm here to do the Doctor Who tag, which was I believe created by the fantastic Luke Spillane. Check out his YouTube Channel here: https://youtube.com/channel/UCapEZG8fp1nMwYSwpVQ_0VQ
Anyway, I'll get right into the questions. Allons-y!
Note: For the sake of my friends who haven't explained Classic who, this shall only involve Nu-Who, I may do a separate one for the Classic Series another time.
1). Who is your favorite Doctor?
Hard question. You see I love Matt Smith and I think... He was almost my favorite for awhile. And then Capaldi came and he is lovely. But for me it always comes back to David Tennant, The Tenth Doctor. I love him with both of my hearts.
2). What is your favorite Doctor Who story?
If you know anything about me, you should know the answer. What is in my opinion the Three parter Season finale of Season 4, Turn Left/The Stolen Earth/ Journey's End.
With the return of Sarah Jane Smith, Captain Jack Harkness, Rose Tyler and family/friends, Martha Jones and cameos from Torchwood and K9, this is the most fantastic story ever.
However, in all honesty the best Doctor Who story is probably Human Nature/The Family of Blood... but Rose Tyler and Captain Jack didn't return in that one so boo. XD
3). Who is your favorite companion?
Donna Noble. THE MOST IMPORTANT WOMAN ON EARTH.
Amelia Pond comes right after Donna though. I named my bunny Amelia Pond :D
4). What was the first Doctor Who story you ever watched?
The first episode of the Doctor Who 2005 reboot, Rose. Not one of the best but still enjoyable...
5). What is your favorite series or era?
...The Donna Noble era.
6). Which is your favorite pre or post regeneration story?
The End of Time Part 1 & Part 2, where we said farewell to our beloved Ten. Even before that sobbing was unavoidable. A beautiful story.
7). Which is your favorite TARDIS desktop theme?
Hmmm... Probably The Eleventh Doctor's second one...
8). Which villian/monster is your favorite?
Silence will fall...
9). What is the scariest Doctor Who episode you ever watched?
The Waters of Mars. No question about it. I also cried a very unhealthy amount when watching this one.
*shudders*
10). If you could be any character in Doctor Who, who would you be and why?
Amelia Pond. She's almost exactly like me, she has a husband who loves her, she's indepent and hilarious, beautiful and a published author. Yeah, easy choice.
11). Favorite non-companion character?
Do The Paternoster Gang count? If so, them.
If not, then Osgood
12). Favorite Doctor Who Christmas Special?
The Time of the Doctor since I've already mentioned The End of Time. DO NOT DROP YOUR BWOTIE DOCTOR YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REGENERATE STOPPPP #crying #crying #crying
13). Sum up in three words what does Doctor Who mean to you.
Well that's all for the Doctor Who tag! I hope you enjoyed this and I encourage you to do it as well in the comments or your own post :D
Anyway, my next post will be about Les Miserables so be prepared.
Seeya!
P.S. If any of the pictures or gifs don't work, reload the page and they should. If they still don't, please tell me :)
Anyway, in this post I'll be taking things from my life and showing how it can be summed up with a Doctor Who picture or gif.
When I yell in public that everyone needs to watch Doctor Who if they want to live a happy life, and realize that this probably turned them off from watching the show.
*this may or may not have happened
When someone asks me why I think Doctor Who is the saddest show in the universe.
*this has happened many times
When I'm reading a sad book in public.
When I meet another Whovian
When someone says they hate Doctor Who
When someone says I'm too obsessive over Doctor Who
When I'm trying to attract Doctor Who fans when in public, this is what I yell.
When I very proudly make a fandom reference...
When I'm trying to comfort myself before reading the last book in a series
When I wake up late in the morning and my entire family is gone
*this has happened
When I'm talking to myself like Gollum and Smeagol
When I come home to all my precious books
When someone questions my awesomeness
When someone offers to take me to the bookstore
When I am told that I can't get a plane ticket to England and go to the Doctor Who Experience
When I yell at the tv in shock and despair
When I manage to cheer up a baby quickly
When talking with someone who hasn't heard of Doctor Who
When the last person I know is leaving a party
When I am told that all the cake has been eaten
When someone has more knowledge than I want them to
Whenever someone leaves who I actually enjoy being with
When I am being forced to go somewhere dreadful
When my brother leaves each year for College again
One of my most favorite things in the world is answering questions... I know, I'm weird, but it's true. Soooo... Basically I spent like an hour googling questions and writing them all down and I will answer them here... Let's get started! :D
Also, I dare myself to find a way to include a picture of River Song in this post.
Update: YESS, I did at the bottom :D I'm gonna start doing dares very time I write a post ;)
Question: Who's your favorite actress?
Answer: MARY KATE WILES! She is absolutely fantastic- kind, smart, beautiful and totally relatable and I want to meet her so badly. She also acts in some of my favorite webseries- The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Kissing In The Rain, Squaresville, The Goreys, School of Thrones and the awesome short film I Ship It. If you don't know who she is... Look her up. And watch anything and everything she's in because you won't regret it. :D
Honorable mention: Emma Watson. For reasons that seem obvious...
QUESTION: Favorite actor?
ANSWER: Asa Butterfield, easily. He acts a range of emotions just perfectly and he's in all the best roles so obviously lots of love here. He's acted in some of my favorite everything- the show Merlin, and the movies Hugo, Enders Game and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, among others. Also I really like his character outside of acting, which is a definite plus.
QUESTION: Favorite book?
ANSWER: Don't kill me for not saying The Fault In Our Stars after I pledged my undying love to it but... Les Miserables now takes the cake. Victor Hugo is a genius and the story is so amazing that I can't not pick it as my favorite novel.
QUESTION: Favorite tv show?
ANSWER: DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHO DOCTOR WHOOOOOOO.
NOW HERE IS A VIDEO TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO WATCH DOCTOR WHO BECAUSE IT IS EMOTIONAL AND AWESOME CLEARLY AND ALSO TO MAKE FANS CRY.
Also to see Doctor Who sadness... Just look at my profile picture. I CRY AT MY FREAKING
PROFILE PICTURE. Anywayy... Continuing...
QUESTION: Favorite movie?
ANSWER: Well I haven't seen Doctor Who: The Movie yet so... Until I have its a tie between Dead Poets Society and The Fault In Our Stars.
QUESTION: What is your screen saver?
ANSWER:
Yes, that's me, still holding on to The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble (and a red Dalek apparently). I'm not ready to let them go.
QUESTION: How old are you?
ANSWER: 653 years old :D
QUESTION: What song is currently stuck in your head?
ANSWER: Fix You by Coldplay... That song has been stuck in my head ever since I saw a heartbreaking a Doctor Who fan video using that song... Which was about a week ago. Someone help me. (Repeatedly watching the video of David Tennant singing a bit from it probably isn't helping either.)
QUESTION: What is your current favorite movie scene?
ANSWER: Oh goodness... *sighs* So I watched this movie Daddy Day Care (MY FAMILY FORCED ME I SWEAR) and well... my dearest favorite character in the movie, Marvin, a nerdy awesome guy had a very memorable scene where he told to mom of a kid who knew Star Trek... Okay, just watch the clip and die of laughter.
QUESTION: What is the last movie you watched?
ANSWER: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 on opening night. I cried ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ A good book adaptation, made me want to re-read Mockingjay 📖
QUESTION: Last book you read?
ANSWER: Shadows in Flight by Orson Scott Card... I cried. No judgement? =D
QUESTION: Current obsession?
ANSWER: Les Miserables just because and the hilarious webseries My Gimpy Life.
QUESTION: Favorite Youtuber?
ANSWER: Vlogbrothers! Hehe, it's kinda cheating since that's John and Hank Green... But I don't care :)
QUESTION: Last thing you ate?
ANSWER: Ummm... Ummm... Err... Oh yeah! Meatloaf! There's a party in my tummy! ...oh
goodness. I just made a Yo Gabba Gabba reference. Someone kill me.
QUESTION: Have you peeked at any Christmas presents?
ANSWER: *runs away and hides*
So... I hope you enjoyed this! Comment your questions for my next blog post of answering questions so I don't have to spend all day browsing the web!
I would tell you about the special thing I have planned for my next non-question blog post but...
1. Sitting for more than three hours a day can cut two years off a person's life expectancy.
2. McDonalds' Caesar salad is more fattening than their hamburger.
3. A cat has been the mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska for 15 years.
4. The oldest video of cats on YouTube dates from 1894.
5. China has treatment camps for Internet addicts.
Did you know any of these already? Are in disbelief? Have your own random, weird and/or eccentric facts? COMMENT IN THE COMMENTS. (Sorry for sounding like an ad xD)
So I was asked what my favorite webseries was and to explain myself so... Here goes nothing! :D Hope you all enjoy. As most of you know I have watched many and loved and obsessed over many and all that jazz yet the one that has caused the most emotions and obsession feels everywhere, that is one of my favorite things on earth is... Nothing Much To Do!!! https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ4M4eic7acSLgM6Fs_VYWafCgwIByldy Basically it's a webseries based off Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare and it is freaking brilliant. I quite enjoyed the play it is based off, but this is infinity times better. The acting is phenomenal. Seriously, some of the best acting I have seen in my life. I have seen many movies, tv shows, plays, et cetera- but this is the absolute best. I can not even describe my love for the show. So, instead I will tell a story, that will take you through my experience watching the show. :D Episode 1- Eh. Kinda good I guess. I might continue. Episode 2: HERO WAS READING TFIOS I LOVE THIS YES Episode 3: WAS THAT BENEDICK OH MY GOSH IT WAS HOLY FLAJIN *faints* Episode 4: Hmm... I think this Ursula fits up to my standards...

Episode 56: At first all I was thinking is "damn look at Benedick in that suit" ;) and then things happened... There was a trigger warning at the beginning of the episode and even though I knew what was coming I did NOT expect it to be that harsh. I seriously started sobbing and it just hit me straight in the stomach like a knife. So just a little more warning. Though I will say Benedick was pretty nice at the end ;)
I am eagerly awaiting the next episode. Please let me know what you think and if you are going to watch it. I will do anything at all for you if you watch it, I swear.
