Matt Smith & Benedict Cumberbatch present Steven Moffat his BAFTA Special Award (by TheDoctorWhoMedia)
Too many brilliant things for one video!
The lead actors of my two favourite TV shows together, presenting a special award which is received by one of the creators/writers of said TV shows. And he goes on stage on the notes of Mumford & Sons. And he does an adorable acceptance speech.
(And the clever clever editing of the clips!)
I’m glad he won. His plots may be sometimes too full of twists and time paradoxes, but I love them anyway.
(I’m glad also for Andrew Scott’s victory! And yes, I would have been happier if mr Cumberbatch had won the lead actor award, but I’m sure the winner deserved it nonetheless.
There will be other awards to win in the future. Let’s be happy for the prizes that “our” show has conquered, and for the constant appreciation that it receives from the fans and the media. It’s a great show: that’s one of the reasons which brought Moffat his special award. And you can’t do a great show without a great lead actor, right?
So, please, my lovely, clever and amazing fellow sherlockians: it’s ok to be disappointed, but let’s be disappointed in a healthy, intelligent way.)
WIN!Okay guys so this is why David Tennant can’t be the torch bearer… Matt Smith has to take the torch because if Donna sees the tenth doctor on the television, her ‘defense’ will break down and she will remember and it’ll kill her. The Doctor that takes the torch has to be Matt Smith…

#2. The Geek Who Would Be Doctor WhoStarted Out As:
A young, obsessed Doctor Who fan whose schoolteachers had to tell him to shut up about it.
But Became:
The Doctor.
Recently, Doctor Who won a victory over Star Trek by becoming the longest-running science fiction series ever. Twice as many actors have played the Doctor over its entire run as have played James Bond. All the way back in the ’70s, the role belonged to Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor), and his biggest fan in the universe was a geeky kid named David McDonald.
And McDonald was a megafan to an extent that few men could begin to realize. As a child in school, it was all he ever wrote about, to the point where his teacher had to tell him to stop before she had to fail him. His most treasured possession was the stripy Doctor Who scarf his grandmother knitted him.
But he was a talented kid, even if he channeled all that talent into incessantly ranting about Doctor Who (a teacher still has one of his essays about the Doctor, titled “Intergalactic Overload,” in which McDonald talked about becoming obsessed with the thought of being the Time Lord himself). And where most kids eventually drop their fantasy of growing up to be, say, a Jedi, David McDonald stuck to his guns and joined acting school. Only, because they already had a guy named David McDonald, he changed his name to something that a lot of nerds will find instantly familiar: David Tennant.Tennant worked hard, forging himself a successful career in Shakespearean stage productions, until one day, while recording a radio play, he learned of a project that was being recorded next door: a Doctor Who animation being produced in an attempt to revive the series after a 14-year hiatus. This was Tennant’s big break. He crashed the production and managed somehow to convince the director to give him a small role. Now that his foot was in the door, he was able to audition for the role he was born to play once the series geared up again. And guess what? He lost to Christopher Eccleston.Oh, but they gave Tennant the role a year later, when Eccleston quit. And Tennant went on to be voted the best version of the Doctor ever by fans, which makes sense, because he knew the character better than anyone in the history of the universe. As if that wasn’t a big enough screw you to the realists who mocked his obsession, he also married the daughter of Peter Davison, the fifth Doctor. Because apparently his good fortune just wasn’t implausible enough already.

So, from saturday noon until sunday noon, I took part in the 24h illustration night at our university. Or, okay, we gave up on sunday at 9 in the morning, because we were feeling like shit. Close enough.
I managed to do a little storyboard, finishing two character designs and doing four pages of comic. Then, at 4 am, I felt like having a little break and decided to do a fanart into my sketchbook that’s been in my head for quite a while.
Have some Cabin Kids :D! Yes, the ages don’t make sense, but it’s not supposed to make sense :|. They’re just all children. And Carolyn obviously isn’t Arthur’s mum. Also, the credits for the idea of Douglas drinking apple juice totally go to shockthrill. And yes, the wall is ugly … it was 4 am!Arthur is eating the sandcake he baked (my sister did that as well!), Martin is a happy plane, Douglas is smug and satisfied and Carolyn is too old and cool for all of that nonsense.
