title: The Doctor and the Priestess of Pythia
author: [livejournal.com profile] fannishliss 
pairing: The Doctor/Rose
rating: PG
warnings: none
spoilers: quotation from “The Parting of the Ways”
length:   2200 words
disclaimer: This beloved character is the property of the BBC. I’m just having great time playing!

Summary: A runaway Prydonian, formerly affiliated with the House of Lungbarrow, steals a type 40 Tardis and flees illegally into Gallifreyan backtime. As is the danger with backtime, he becomes embroiled in a snare of destiny, paradox, and things he can’t quite remember. Here is the story of that great Hero and the inauspicious interview with a Pythian Seer that changes his fate forever by giving him a mission and a reason to live.

Author’s Notes: I have not read Cat’s Cradle: Time’s Crucible, by Marc Platt. Yet. :P This story features the Doctor in his first incarnation, before regeneration, but already exhibiting many of his nascent personality characteristics. I hope you’ll like him! Like River says, he's so very young. :P

I would love to see your favorite userpics that have both Sam and Dean looking badass, comical, brotherly or in love, what have you.  :P

I'd love to add a great Sam and Dean pic to my collection, and would of course credit the maker. :)


Currently I have 37 userpics.
Men:(Ken dolls count as men here :P  )  19
Women: 9  (Lisa is in there twice with Dean)
Animals: 4 (including Cow and Psyduck)
Inanimate Objects: 6* 
(*My Firebird objects to being counted as an object, but counting her as a Woman or an Animal isn't right either.  sorry, Rhianan.)

How many are cartoons? 6 not including griseldajane's painting
How many are dolls (or other small toys):  4 (Rhianan doesn't mind being a Toy but she is much larger than a Matchbox car.  And more expensive to care for.)

 Feel free to comment on any trends you see in my userpics!

...  I didn't have any icons of women...  so I went around looking, and made five new icons: Scully, Solitaire (Jane Seymour), Juliet from Lost,  Maggie Gyllenhall, and awesome Woman of Spn Sarah Blake.

five icons under cut )

It was a great pleasure having these women looking out from my desktop while I worked on the cropping.  They represent a nice array of emotion, too!

Below the cut, you will find mention of one particular moment in ep 3, that heard me scream an "AWESOME!"  and then I rant about popular music lyrics which I find gratingly misogynistic.

musings---This is all speculation! Furthermore I do not read spoilers! and, I'm just going by what I saw, not by any extraneous material on the web or whatever. 

also, sadly, I missed the first ten minutes of the most recent ep, but if I missed something very key, please let me know.

so, when we tuned in Echo

So we wanted to watch Dollhouse. We are not intense Whedon fans, but will certainly make an effort to watch his shows. I was a big fan of Firefly, a moderate fan of Buffy (more at the beginning) and Angel (more in the middle).  We also liked his XMen and I liked Dr. Horrible fairly well!  Anyway, just to get that out of the way, Whedon is not my God, but I have given all his work my attention.

He talked about his project re Dollhouse on Fresh Air if you want to go listen to him talk for an hour.

He did run it past friends of his at Equality Now because he knew the idea was going to raise a lot of eyebrows....  not that he went out for a feminist vetting but they were feminists and they said, yeah, try for it.

So, here is my humble opinion and take on the show's first episode.

Thoughts on freedom, feminism and fanfiction, beginning with an excert from Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran:

I finally have a response to the recent disturbances about misogyny in Supernatural. (Yet, this essay does not address gendered slurs .....still to come, maybe!)

I started a long discussion that devolved into why I like Led Zeppelin and the blues, and why Dean seems to bottom to girls that he likes, so I clearly realized I still didn’t know what I wanted to say, and I didn’t post it.

Then I rewatched 3.2 “The Kids are Alright” and I realized I did have a point to make.

***
OK I’m gonna post this quick before I start picking it to pieces!

This post goes out to my livejournal friends who are troubled by the apparent misogyny of “Supernatural.”    Spoilers up to and including 3.12, Jus in Bello.
