Doctor Who Tag - Lollie

Hello Internet People, welcome back!

Don't even role your eyes at this title, you knew this was coming eventually.

So I found these questions on Tumblr before we start the tag and I thought I'd give my opinions on them.

1. Where’s Donna’s dad?

One theory is that Donna's dad I think left her and her mum when she was young so because of this, Donna has never really bothered with men. Her granddad - Wilf - is the main father figure in her life. When she was due to marry Lance, she was so very excited for it because she had finally found a man who wasn't like her dad and was more like her granddad. Obviously we all know how that ended. When she decides she wants to travel with The Doctor, that's all she wants to do, she doesn't fancy him or love him... she just wants a friend and that's something that I think not only relieves the doctor but also Donna. Donna finds the doctor to be more of an escape from her reality rather than a love interest as he offers her something more.

Another one I have still revolves around Donna's dad leaving when she was small, however, Donna completely idolised him as a father and when he left, she somehow blamed her mum. this would explain all the negative feelings and actions she has towards her mum sometimes. She also, when her dad left, sought a replacement father figure in Wilf.

2. How are multiple doctors allowed to exist at once (for example, the eleventh doctor and the tenth)?

You'd have to ask The Moff about this one...

3. Is Rory the father of River?

Yes. How can someone begin to even question that! Yes I know River can regenerate etc etc, but that's NOT because she is the daughter of The Doctor (also River married The Doctor in the end and you can't have The Doctor's daughter marrying The Doctor... well... let's not even go there okay 0 wibbily wobbly, timey wimey.. stuff). River can regenerate because she was conceived in the TARDIS surrounded by time energy and vortex stuff (I'm almost technical sounding as the show haha!)

4. How come The Doctor seems surprised when the Daleks find him even though he parks the TARDIS in the middle of the street?

He's surprised because, the state the street is in and all the rubble and the wreckage would suggest that the Daleks had already stormed that street, he thought he was safe.

5. Is The Doctor part human since he has a belly button?

No. That's just how time lords look..

6. Who is that one girl with the son that’s like 14? And why do they have a robot dog?

Wow... wow, wow, wow. Let me just sit down for a  moment. SARAH JANE SMITH!!! oh my gosh, that is Sarah Jane Smith. Her son is 14-year-old, genetically modified genius and her robot dog, was originally The Doctor's. His name is K9.

7. Why does the tenth doctor carry around a stethoscope?

Because Stethoscopes are cool, they come in handy, he's a 'doctor' of sorts and we all know Ten has the thing of carrying things he may not intend to use (The brainy specs)

8. If a human-timelord hybrid (the doctorDonna) can’t exist, how come the clone of the tenth doctor (the one from his hand) can?

A human-timelord hybrid such as the DoctorDonna, can't exisit due to the fact that Donna's body was human. All the timelord knowledge was too big for her brain to cope with as humans brains have a smaller capacity then Timelords. The clone of Ten, aka The Meta-crisis Doctor, can exist because this meta-crisis, grew from the part of a Timelord, therefore, he has a Timelord brain capacity.

9. As a follow-up, does that clone regenerate too? Would the doctorDonna also?

The clone does not regenerate as when it grew from Ten's severed hand, he only grew back with one heart. This is because that is the template that was given when the Meta-crisis was formed as DoctorDonna only had one heart. This means that DoctorDonna cant regenerate either as she only has one heart. It is part of a Timelord's genetics to be able to regenerate but to do this they must have a bi-binary heart system (is that the right phrase?)

Now time for the quizzy bit

When did you start watching Doctor Who?

I started watching Doctor Who in 2005 when the reboot came out. I was 6, nearly 7 and my next-door neighbour came round one day and we were sat watching TV in my room, flicking channels when Doctor Who came up. She told me to click it and there must have been about three or four episodes back to back on. The first one was 'Dalek' and after I watched that, I didn't want to stop.

Who is your favourite Doctor?

Ten. Even though Nine is MY Doctor, so to speak, Ten will always be my favourite and his era was absolutely brilliant.

Favourite companion?

I think it has to be Rose as she was the first companion I ever watched and I grew sort of attached to her. I grew so attached to her in fact that when 'Doomsday' was aired, I was having a BBQ and I stayed inside on my own to watch the episode and then proceeded to cry as she got sucked into the void and then transported to the parallel universe.

Favourite episode?

'Girl in The Fireplace' is one of them. I'm not sure what it is about this episode that drew me in and it's still a favourite of mine till this day. Also 'Utopia', 'Sound of Drums' and 'Last of The Time Lords' because these episodes as so well written and are brilliant!

Least favourite episode?

'The Unquiet Dead'. I think, I never actually saw this episode when it aired so that made me not like it. I can't actually sit through the episode. It doesn't scare me or anything, I'm not too sure what it is about it...

Least favourite companion?

Here is where most would write Martha but I loved Martha. I don't really have a least favourite companion. A lot of the companion have things about them that annoy me a little bit and I do feel as though (even though I love Jenna Coleman and the character of Clara) that Clara has outstayed her welcome with The Doctor.

If you were a companion, what kind of companion would you be?

I'd like to think I'd be a good one. I'm not great at running so, I'd complain about that like Donna. I'd love The Doctor like Amy did, like a best friend. I'd be brave and independent like Martha, Intelligent and quick like Clara and adventurous like Rose.

Greatest Doctor Who creature?

Oh... has to be the Daleks.

least favourite Doctor Who creature?

My least favourite has got to be the Empty Child. Not because It's terrible just because that episode freaked me out so much!

Who is your favourite non-companion character?

Adam Mitchell

Who is your favourite villain?

The Master. Definitely The Master. Without a doubt.

What would you do first if you could travel with The Doctor?

Victorian era, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, ancient Greece

What do you think would be behind your door at the hotel in The God Complex?

Well, I'm scared of feet... so.. feet? wait, was it your biggest fear behind the door or biggest belief? I haven't watched it in a while :/

What would be your reaction to meeting The Doctor?

'It's you... you're the actual Doctor.. The Doctor. Where's the TARDIS? Where are we off to first then?'

If you meet The Doctor, who would you tell first?

Probably Ash or Payton...

Which Doctor Who moment made you cry the most?

Dålig Ulv Stranden and the regenerations of 10 and 11

Would you rather go on adventures with The Doctor, River Song, or Captain Jack Harkness?

Can I just have all 3?

If Captain Jack began flirting with you, how would you react?

'Chan, I do not Protest, Tho'

Which relationship (canon or not) is your favourite?

RosexTen, MarthaxMickey, Osdrum (MasterxClara), Pondswald (ClaraxAmy), Allonswin (ClaraxTen), Whouffle (ClaraxEleven), Whouffaldi (ClaraxTwelve)  

If you could ask The Doctor one question, and it was guaranteed that he would answer it honestly, what would you ask him?

Doctor Who??????

When it is time to leave The Doctor, you are allowed one souvenir from your travels. What would you like it to be?

Can I take the TARDIS? too big?? Okay... The Doctor? no? I'll take a sonic then please... Or one of those sleep patches that induces a dream state, those could prove useful

 That was a sort-of Doctor Who tag, I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be back next week at some point with another post for you all!

Until Next Time, Allons-y!

Let's Talk About: Marriage Equality - Lollie

Hello Internet people!

Today was going to be a Doctor Who tag/post but I think there are more important things happening in the world right now.

'Being LGBT does not make you less human'

Same Sex Marriage is now legal in ALL 50 states of America - Yes, all of them! This is a monumental day in history everybody, finally we have marriage equality in America. About time Supreme Court, about time.
This huge occasion has made me smile because it informs me that, no matter how much I lose faith in humanity, there is always a something that brings my faith in the world back.
Love Wins everybody, love wins.
All you LGBT people in America, enjoy the this marriage equality and have fun finally being able to get married, you've all fought for this and you've waited a long time.
This has been a short post, however, I felt this needed to be posted here and to be shared with you all.
Thank you for reading,

Until Next Time - Allons-y!

Things Will Get Better, Trust me on this one XOXO

Hello Ladies, Gentlemen and Non-Binaries,

I'm back again for my second post on this blog and already things are going to begin to start getting depressive. (Sorry but as i said last week i rant and stuff so brace yourself). This post will probably address a few issues and things but i'm just venting emotions and stuff so yeah.

As you all know from my last post i'm a Trans Woman. I'm biologically Male but every fibre of my being cries out to be feminine. As one may guess this has lead to, at times what can only be called, a very sad life at times. For many years i would look at myself in the mirror and be filled with nothing but disgust, a form of self-loathing that i am unable to describe in words. At one point in my life i had to avoid all forms of mirrors or anything that cast a reflection lest my dysphoria skyrocket and i plunge into a pit of unbearable sadness.
       Very few people know what it is like to feel as though your biological sex does not match your gender. Did you know that there are only 10,000 Trans women in the UK out of the 64 million people living on this small chunk of land. And i have tried to describe some of the emotions i feel most of the time, regardless of how i dress or how much i cake myself in makeup. I'll often look like some form of sex worker with all the make up i have on, it's a very strange sensation to look at your body and be filled with so many negative emotions; Hatred, Anger, Sadness....

I have suffered with crippling Anxiety on top of this, coupled with this in a form of comorbidity were depressive symptoms, so the holy trinity of life changing mental illnesses. Coupled with extremely low self-esteem and you have one hell of a cocktail to base your life on. I'll toss in another fact for you, around 45% of Transgender individuals have attempted or at least contemplated suicide in their life time. I can thankfully say i am not in this statistic, but that number is to high. The same can be said for any suicide statistic. A life is a life, a precious thing to be treasured and allowed to flourish!!

This rant may seem long winded and convoluted but i need to rant and put this out there. I know people with depression, i know people with cripplingly Low self-esteem and sadly i can say i have seen what these things can do first hand and i'm still haunted by those experiences, i probably will be till the day i die. Hey it's the reason i want to become a Psychiatrist, hopefully i can help people battle these illnesses and see they value they have within themselves, help them see all that they are capable of, everything the ever could be and every reason why they are essential to this planet and the flourishing nature of the human race.

I know how cliche the phrase, "It gets better" sounds, believe me whenever i saw it i would role my eyes and make statements such as "yeah right!!" through tear filled eyes, but i am living breathing proof that things do get better!!! My anxiety has died down, it's still there but it's calmer and I've learned to cope with it, I've begun to transition into my true self and guess what, i can finally look in a mirror and remain happy at the girl staring back, and as a result my self esteem has begun to rise!!
        The change will not be overnight, it took me a year to get a reply back on my referral to the London GIC, and it took me years to conquer my anxiety, but i can promise there will be change!!

So at the end of the day i beg you to see the value within yourself no matter how small and to keep fighting the battles that you have to. you may feel out maned, outgunned, and outclassed but you are essential to this world, you may be the next Einstein; the next Martin Luther King; the next Caitlyn Jenner who knows, but i can promise no one will ever know if you give up. Things will get bad at times and people will give up on you. Thankfully i have been blessed with the most incredibly supportive and beautiful group of friends who never even questioned their friendship with me even when i came out as Transgender and i can't and don't thank them enough for everything they have ever done for me!!! So even if people do give up on you be aware that i won't give up on you!!

So if ever you need a mother or a sister or just somebody to talk to, then just hit me up on my e-mail
philip.searle2@btinternet.com :)

I will never give up on you, i love you all more than i could ever express, so promise me you won't give up, promise me you'll smile today, promise me you will look at yourself and see the worth within yourself, promise me you won't stop fighting :)
As Bri would say, I'm with you till the end of the line, folks <3
This is your friendly neighborhood Transsexual signing off XOXO

Why Orange is the new black is amazing

Hey guys, 

Wow it feels like it's been ages since I last posted and I've decided that I'm going to do a short post this week because I'm going to be working on a longer post. So I've recently got addicted to orange is the new black since I now have Netflix. I'm only on episode 11 of series 1,  Now I know this show has recently become very popular with its third series being released, but i think that this show has some real hidden meanings that I think need to be addressed.

So this show doesn't only cover and support gays and mainly lesbians seeing as many of the gays you see and hear about are men but they also make being gay seem completly normal which I think is amazing because it should be in our modern society.

 The show also shows how crimes and bad choses can end up landing you in prison. I think that this shows people how choices can be bad and also it makes the prisoners seem human and makes you more open to the idea of redemption and second chances. 

However I don't like the idea that all the guards at the prison are taking their job as a joke and don't treat the criminals fairly. On the show there is also mention to abuse both physical and drug abuse which gives people the opportunity to see what withdrawal is like and what drug use is like. 

There are also references to religion and I like how they have both ends of the scale- a completely sane Nun and a extremists. Not only all of this but they also show a transgender woman and how this's are being transgender can be, and how race still plays a huge part in our society. The show also shows relationships beside romantic ones and how friendships can be broken and made.  

Another thing this show does is look into the lives of not only the prisoners but their families and how being in prison can help or break you. And lastly all of these woman are stunning. 

 

This is all for this week

Until then, Stay Safe, you're more important than you think :) XOXO

New member and 3000 veiws - Lollie

Hello internet!

It's Lollie here. Today, I would like to introduce you too our new member - Valerie. 

About two months ago, before all of our exams started, our contributions to this blog started to fail miserably as we were all stressing out and having mild existential crisis'. We decided collectively who would be staying on as a member and who did not want to be part of this blog anymore. After much discussion, Maya decided she wouldn't be able to cope with posting weekly and keeping up with everything else. 

After Maya decided to leave, the other six of us were sent into a long spiralling period of trying to find a new name as there no longer 7 of us. We had many ideas, some that not all of us agreed on and some that were already taken as domains and in the end, it was Maya who actually approached us with an idea - Why not ask Valerie?

Valerie will be posting on a Thursday, just as Maya used to and we hope that you welcome her to the blog!

On another note, we have reached 3000 views on the blog, which in my opinion is totally crazy! It is so strange to think that our posts have been viewed and read that many times by people from all over the world. Even people in Australia have read some of our posts which is mind blowing! Thank you to everyone that reads the stuff that we post.

So to round up this post, I hope you enjoy our new member and thank you once again for readin all our posts!

Until Next Time, Allons-!

Summers makeup review

Hi it's Summer here,

So this week I was stuck on ideas of what to do, so I thought about what I had bought in the past week or two. So here it is, I'm going to write a review post.


First things first: Bare Minerals!!

One of my recent purchases was Bare Minerals newest product: Complexion Rescue.
Complexion rescue is what the title says it is, it is to help the skin to become healthier, smoother and more hydrated. It is a tinted hydrating cream, so it has the perk of helping your skin and giving coverage like a foundation would. The benefit with this tinted hydrator is that it is only a light coverage, so it isn't thick and clumpy on the skin. It feels smooth and silky on the skin. Another benefit of this product is that it also helps powder to stay on without the trouble of other applicants.

The idea of this product is that it does two things at the same time. The woman who was serving me in the shop said I would notice a difference in my skin within 2-3 days. Now usually when someone says this to me I shrug it off and think to myself "Yeah right!" However, these lady was completely right!! I noticed a significant difference in my skin straight after a couple of days using the complexion rescue everyday. I use mine as a foundation as I have dry skin and Bare Minerals has only natural ingredients. in it Which is why it makes it so expensive! The shade that I have is called 'Vanilla'. This is because I have impeccably fair, pale skin, 'Vanilla' is the second lightest shade in the collection. These are the shades they have (lightest to darkest):

• Opal
• Vanilla
• Buttercream
• Suede
• Natural
• Ginger
• Tan
• Spice
• Chestnut
• Sienna

I would definitely recommend this product as it is suitable for maybe people and has a great feel on the skin during coverage and afterwards as well. Not only does it come in a variety of different shades, but it is also a multi-purpose product and is an amazing rescue remedy for dry skin!! The complexion rescue costs £26 for 35ml. I know this sounds like a lot and yes it does added up to 74p per ml but it is so worth it, as it lasts for longer than a normal foundation/ base layer. Plus who can go wrong with a product that does two things at once, is extremely easy to put on and feels so amazing to wear!!


My second product review goes to Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in the shade: Light.

This has got to be one of the products I use everyday. I use it as a concealer underneath my eyes to cover up my dark circles I seem to constantly have! No matter how much sleep I do or do not get, I still seem to have dark circles underneath my eyes. I've come to the conclusion that they aren't going away anytime soon! Therefor, I knew I had to purchase a concealer or a BB cream. I searched and searched for the best cream and finally made my decision to go with Rimmel's matte BB cream. It comes in three shades: Light, Medium and Medium/Dark. The light shade is suited for those with fair, pale, delicate skin. Medium is for those with deeper tones, such as olive skinned and tanned. Medium/ Dark is for those with deeper and darker skin colours.

If Rimmel were to improve this product I would say that the most effective way to do this would be to increase the amount of shades they have. Although they are suited for the majority, there are still different shades that would compliment a lot of other peoples skin more effectively.

Overall I have to say that I am very impressed with the level of quality Rimmel has provided with this product. It has helped me through the tiresome days that are frequently occurring and the up beat eventful days. I suppose what I am trying to say is that it is suitable for any occasion, whether it be school, work, a meal out or just a shopping trip. I would defiantly recommend it with full confidence and unlike the Bare Minerals product I just showed you, this product is only £6.99 for 30ml, which works out to a total of 23p per ml.



My third product review goes to Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in Jet Black.

This product I don't use as much as the other two I have done a review on, but saying that I do use it often, whether it is for dramatic eye makeup or just for a small fine line of jet black eye makeup. I'm a girl that absolutely adores her makeup (if you hadn't figured that out yet) but eyeliner is one of my most favourite types of makeup by far!

I quite like to experiment with new, different eye makeup to everyone else. I like to be different and unique and don't tend to stick with the usual 'go to' trends the majority of the time.

Rimmel's Scandaleyes Eyeliner has to be one of the best eye makeup purchases I have ever made, it is easy to use for thick lines, thin lines and fine details also. I find that eyeliner and bold eye makeup makes you feel more confident about yourself and brings out a different personality that you never thought you had (at least it does for me anyway). Sometimes I add eye shadow to complete the look, but the majority of the time I tend to go for a more natural eye underneath the eyeliner.

Overall I think that this product is a must for every girl/ woman's makeup draw. It is handy to use for any sort of event, such as an evening out, shopping or everyday wear. It adds definition to the eyes and does a great advantage to blue and green eyes as it helps to pop their colour more. Scandaleyes costs £5.49 for a small thin tube and you can get it in two different tips, a pointer and a slanted tip.

All together I would definatly recommend these products as they are perfect things for an girls makeup shelf! They aren't too expensive for what you get and are extremely reliable!

Thats all from me for this week, keep up the views! I love you guys!

Love
Summer
xoxo
