Rule No. 12631: with certain Roman around Doctor turns into unnaturally giggly and giddy Time Lord

I appear to have joined a dressing room on Dreamwidth. Am unreasonably nervous about it. As if people are going to think, when I pop up with the same characters ‘oh god. her’.
Or I suppose I could try out some different characters.

And now, a break to look at adorable snow leopards.thetadelta: Snow leopard tail nomming compilation, because tails are just awesome.
Photos are from: tanidareal, leopatra-lionfur, denisesoden, rheazblaze, bledsoevball30, and eisenmann87 from DeviantART and barrybaskin from Flickr.
I love how they can manage to look judgmental and disapproving all while having their tails in their mouths.
I’ve reblogged this before, but I don’t care you’re not my mom.
Om nom nom, tasty tails.
Tail noms! :’)
Is this just like… a thing snow leopards do? Or what? Because it’s hilarious!
Awww. My cat was doing this yesterday. Odd for her, and I’m still not sure what inspired it.
Unrelatedly, I once gave the Doctor a snow leopard as a his required familiar in an LJ game. This gif set - extra validation.

Imagine Person A of your OTP getting into serious trouble only to have Person B save them and later yell at them for acting stupid and making them worry. Person A initially gets angry at being treated like a child, but eventually understands Person B’s feelings and apologizes while they cuddle and reaffirm that the other is still alive.
Must be Tuesday.

Puncher: Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart
Punchee: the MasterMemorable Lines: ”So nice to see you again!”
Why it’s Awesome: The Brigadier is honestly too old for this sort of thing. He was in the midst of retiring when he got whisked away quite against his will for yet more wacky adventures with not one, but five whole Doctors. He didn’t know when he was well off! And yet, he’s spent the whole time standing around in the background, following the Doctor around and trying not to get mauled by Yetis. This is all a Time Lord power game - there isn’t a whole lot for him to do, and everyone sort of tends to ignore him. The Master doesn’t seem to notice that he’s standing right behind him. So the Brigadier very kindly introduces himself by punching him in the face. Well, to be fair the Doctor kicks him first and then the Brig punches him in the face. Which makes a lot of sense since the two of them spent the entire Third Doctor era working together to track down the Master - it is only right that they should succeed eventually. I should point out that the Master has regenerated (sort of) since then, but this in no way stops the Brigadier from immediately recognizing him and getting reacquainted in the most appropriate way possible. Because the Brigadier is a BAMF who punches Time Lords in the face to say “hi.” Even after he’s retired.
Where to find it?: Doctor Who, “The Five Doctors” by Terrance Dicks
I love that there is an entire blog dedicated to people getting punched in the face.
I do wonder if it was deliberately written this way so that the 3rd Doctor and the Brigadier finally take down the Master. ^_^ Love it.
Love this scene. And honestly, the Master is damn lucky he got punched, or he’d have ended up like Borusa.

"It's so angry!": whoistorule: i hate unpaid internships so fucking muchunpaid...
i hate unpaid internships so fucking much
- unpaid internships exploit college graduates, most of whom have exorbitant student loans, into working 30-40 hours weeks for no pay
- at which time they start owing massive amounts of interest on their student loans
- they often don’t…
It’s important to also remember that interns usually aren’t worth the company’s time. It takes time to train them and they aren’t qualified or experienced enough to do a lot of jobs. It costs the company money to hire interns and often times it’s just impractical for them. But someone has to hire them and give them experience so by not paying them they’re trying to save costs because they’re already working on a loss with the interns. (Although OBVIOUSLY I’d rather be paid)
Or they could, you know, hire people for a wage and keep them after they’d been trained, thus making a long term return on the expense. I find it hard to believe that on the balance that it does not make for greater productivity more often than not. If it doesn’t, it seems to me they aren’t teaching the interns anything worthwhile. Anyone has any credible statistical evidence to the contrary, of course, I defer to that.
It is very, very hard to be productive as an unpaid intern when you know you’re not really losing anything if you get fired. Aside from experience, which you can get again, in another unpaid internship, when you have more time and energy, or a lighter class schedule or whatever.
What also sucks is that unpaid internships are almost exclusively available to students currently in college, with full class loads and then some to try and get the hell out in four years before racking up even more debt. And then when one starts to look for post-graduate jobs (as I am) — they all require internship experience.
Which, as a college student who had to actually work and get paid to help pay for my degree — in grocery stories and at front desks, doing jobs that don’t necessarily guarantee extensive industry experience — where does that leave me?
Well. With slightly less student loans, sure, but staring down the prospect of moving back into my parents’ house. Half-tempted to enroll at a community college even though I’m about to graduate with two freakin’ bachelors degrees just to GET an unpaid internship just to GET a real job.
/grumblegrumble
*nodsnods* I avoided this bind in undergrad, but went to a law school that requires 4 full time quarter long long internships. In some ways this is better, because you can focus on the internship. I was really lucky for that three of mine, I got paid at least $15 an hour. Still, the overwhelming majority of jobs in the legal field that I see are ‘full time volunteer’ (WTF?) or require 5+ years experience in a particular legal field. You’d think a professional degree would help one get around this trap, but nope. It’s all about who you know, tbh.
