Cowbell ghoul!?! I was literally joking this morning about brining them back! Success.
Monstrance clock, my beloved!
I’m so excited for the new album!!! And I can’t wait to see more videos and photos on the instagram. I can’t wait to see Perry smile more!🖤🖤🖤
Freaking out about the Skeletour show in Glasgow
Peacefield is a Banger
The new stage is phenomenal, it just keeps getting BIGGER. first the curtain with giant rips in then the new stage with stone plinths for the ghouls and lights everywhere including under the drum riser. Then the stony walls fell down to reveal the usual stained glass windows and then the stone archways fell down and nearly took out Mountain. Then it was revealed that it was actually a massive LED screen
I got so excited that they were playing Majesty that I didn't immediately notice he was FUCKING FLYING. My sister was like omg flying and I was like omg Majesty and then we were both like OMG HIS MAJESTY
I started noticing the double kick drum during Ritual and after. I don't know enough about drums to say what was different it just was more idk
We were in the gods so we couldn't fully appreciate the GIANT MOVING truss grucifix of moving lights but she's a work of art. We could see the labels in the trucks as we left and they had a whole truck just for floor lights (the under drum riser lights are gorgeous) and they had at least 3 more for lights. No idea how to pack a giant moving rus
Lost my shit when they started playing Umbra I've been waiting fucking months to hear more than the opening bars!! I cannot wait to hear it again properly (it's only 9 days not that I'm counting)
Fucking cowbell ghoul is back for Umbra did not see that coming
Monstrance Clock is back too I didn't see that coming either and I'm so happy!!!! And the little smirk he did when he got to say "conclusively, I give you Monstrance Clock" for the second time in years, knowing we were about to lose our collective shit, was yet another wonder of no mask papa
We got sad about it ending and he was "you can go out and tell everyone about the amazing time that you had. Or at least you can tell everyone about the amazing time that I had"
He got his I/we/they/him mixed up which is always funny like "back at the assembly where we, no they, well I suppose I'm part of it now so we, and I thought, no they thought-"
He name dropped The Cathouse but didn't know if it was still running and then was like "I know a lot about the past, but I don't know much about the future" and then straight into The Future is a Foreign Land. Musical theatre levels of speech into song and he said "this is a song my dad used to sing to me" and they changed it to 2034 (I had wondered if they were going to change it to 2025 and have a new rhyme but that works)
There was a delay letting people in and my theatre brain wants to know what technical issue stopped them opening the house?? Was he stuck in the air?? Was the moving grucifix of moving lights refusing to move?? Did the LED screen decide not today satan ??
Sparkly golden disco lizard - ha! That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard.
I had similar thoughts, especially because i prefer Rumplestiltskin when he’s scaly (and actually has a personality), because he’s so much more fun.
We all know that Rumple's got lots of self-loathing, among other things connected with the way he looked in the EF because it represents how inhuman and monstrous he is.
Now imagine for some reason he and Belle end up back in the EF at some point in the show... or maybe EF 2 in S7...
And Rumple grows scaly and golden and sparkly and lizardy again and he hides from Belle because he is ashamed, because he can't bear to see the expression on her face when she sees the reminder of who he truly is...
But when Belle eventually finds him - because she always does - she takes one look at him and just... smiles and runs up to him and envelopes him in a tight hug and has the audacity to sigh contently against a very baffled Rumple.
Because as much as she loves his human form, as much as she loves him in any form, period, this Rumple - the sparkly golden disco lizard - is her Rumple, the one she met first, the one she got to know first, the one she fell in love with first.
And she missed him... she really did.

gross old people

More reasons as to why Vastra is the best dw character - go
Yippieee! I get to be annoying about how amazing she is!
She is essentially Sherlock Holmes, her cases are plagiarised BY Doyle in universe, and she famously HATES comparisons to Sherlock Holmes XD
She has a fantastic moral compass and it's called Jenny Flint.
She is a mirror to the Doctor only in way hotter.
She has canonically tried to eat a rooster early in the morning despite knowing she shouldn't eat raw chicken.
She is simultaneously a brilliant fighter and lethal as fuck, and also scared of furniture attacking her.
She introduced herself with "I'm a lizard woman from the dawn of time and this is my wife" in Victorian London probably just because she thinks it'd be funny, get yourself someone who does it like her.
She is physically incapable of not flirting with her wife every five seconds.
Tongue.
She can wield two blades at once and has (probably!? I think this is pretty much supported by canon) taught her wife how to fight.
She has defeated Cybermen in 13th century Japan once.
She has broken into multiple banks, stunned the people there, and just walked out the front door.
When needing to talk to Clara, she not only sent a letter with a drug candle through time, she also considered that Clara would find the candle icky and therefore laced the paper with a drug as well. (That woman probably has a drug cartel somewhere)
She once had a 48 page Christmas plan for her wife and has consulted local children for research purposes into Christmas.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER SHE'S GORGEOUS.
Can hypnotise people and extract information out of them that way.
Is filthy rich (because she has robbed multiple banks) and has little care for money (or doesn't understand it much, which is also fair).
Has committed acts of vandalism by smearing on maps in a library and then claimed that it isn't vandalism "to an inquiring mind".
Got high on drugs when she thought her wife was dead, built a nuke, and nearly set the world aflame because what's the point anyway - immediately stopped all that the second her wife looked her in the eye.
She's part of the sweetest, most chaotic little found family in all of Doctor Who and honestly that's beautiful.
Feel free to ask for elaboration on any of these, and those were just the ones I could come up with off the top of my head XD But as you can see, she is the best, and so is her wife actually
