Shriners? Are they all Shriners?

[clocketpatch]

Nah, the Doctor just occasionally (and very randomly) wears a fez. Lately fandom has been kind of obsessed with it.

[diebirchen.livejournal.com]

Charming fashion statement, to be sure, but those Shriners do fund children's hospitals.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who needs to have one of their Children in Need specials, then. With everybody wearing fezzes!

[gibbous.livejournal.com]

I adore these, and I wish I could use one of them (the Doctor! saving the universe with a fez and a mop!) but LJ is decidedly against my happiness, saying I have far too many pictures for my own good.

[clocketpatch]

I know your pain far too well. the stash of icons hidden on my hard drive far exceeds the amount lj will let me have.

[joking.livejournal.com]

I love the ones with Amelia with the fez over her eyes! So cute!

[clocketpatch]

Little Amelia is just too cute for words.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Seven wore a fez? I did not know that!

[clocketpatch]

Yep, in Silver Nemesis, which is a thoroughly awesome crack trip of an episode. heh

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

I really should watch some of Seven. Paradise Towers kind of put me off :(

And, icon love! (Sure that's not about Six? :D )

[clocketpatch]

Heh. I only grabbed this icon yesterday. I saw it and was just EEEE! Brilliance! I think that Ten probably has more of a hubris problem than Six though TBH. Six is all bluster; he's just a big softy underneath.

And awww! I have a special place in my heart for Paradise Towers (it's the only Mel episode I don't want to punt off a cliff) and I think it gets a bad rep. It isn't as good as the Ace episodes though. Seven doesn't really come into his own until he gets his Ace up his sleeve. I recommend starting with Remembrance of the Daleks even though it isn't Ace's first episode (because her first episode is a bit spoilled by a combination of Mel and the most WTF literal cliffhanger in the history of the series).

Remembrance is wicked. It ties back with An Unearthly Child and has Ace and Seven being utterly bad ass in 1960s London.

I really haven't seen enough Six to make a valid comparison. But Ten may get away with some of it because he's so pretty and has puppy-dog eyes ;)

I have a special place in my heart for Paradise Towers (it's the only Mel episode I don't want to punt off a cliff)

To be honest, I didn't see the whole story. But I facepalmed (and yelled at the screen) like whoa when she happily dived into a murky swimming pool in a falling-apart hotel. And now I'm inclined to avoid the rest of her episodes entirely :p

Seven doesn't really come into his own until he gets his Ace up his sleeve.

OK, I don't know if you coined that, but it's beautiful :) And my sister raved about Ace, so I'm looking forward to seeing her.

Also, editing on to say that I went stalker-y for a minute there and started browsing through your userpics and got serious icon envy for a bunch of them. Er... are there any you would object to me stealing? I'm kind of in love with the plot hole one, and Rory the Vampire Slayer, and Eleven babbling about being drunk, and "I'm with stupid"... heh. your userpics give me such glee.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Gank away! Please credit the makers, though. (And ask before taking any made by me, please.) I just got the Rory one. I need more Buffy icons now that I'm a fan. Crossovers save space :D (Speaking of which, do you know what the Eleven drunk one is crossed with? I wasn't sure.)

I'm glad you enjoy my userpics :) (Hey, I "stalk" other people's userpics all the time. It's a good way to find new icon makers.) I have tons of them on the hard drive and rotate occasionally. I think I may need rehab.

[clocketpatch]

Heh, well, I think I just stole half your icon stash. I've got the same icon addiction. There's hundreds of them stashed on my hard drive, probably never to be used. I go and gaze at all the pretties sometimes...

It's a Hitch Hiker's reference isn't it? I liked it because I love the way Eleven says "fish" (I also love that the writers have noticed this and seem to be endeavouring to make him say it as often as possible)

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is a HH reference; that's why I love it. And I hadn't caught on about the fish!

[revengerv.livejournal.com]

Nice icons. I take many and will credit, if use.
Fez is really cool.

[clocketpatch]

Thanks for the compliment! The fez is cool!

[thisbluespirit]

LOL Ace and the fez from Silver Nemesis! I hadn't thought. (I take it you've now seen Silver Nemesis, so I shall hereby use my Lady Peinforte and Richard icon in honour of the fact.)

These are great - I am all admiration for the ones where you have drawn things yourself in particular, and Ace and Eleven and their fezzes. (Clearly the whole of DW canon needs to be scoured for any other instances...)

[clocketpatch]

Yes I have finally! And seeing an unseen Seven and Ace episode was just about the most awesome thing ever! Though... now I'm sad because there aren't any new Seven and Ace episodes left for me to delight in...

Nine episodes is not enough!

The only other fez instances I could think of are that guy in Pyramids of Mars and... I'm pretty sure one turns up in Evil of the Daleks at some point. But it's not the Doctor or the companion wearing it so it doesn't count. I think?

Drawing things is great fun! I love fussing around in MS Paint.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw. Still, you can rewatch them now. :-) And, no it isn't! I thought so in 1989, personally. (WHERE HAS MY SHOW GONE? WHY IS IT NOT ON TV?!!!)

Silver Nemesis is, of course, as you now know, not the greatest ep, but I have this fondness for it no matter what, because it was my first DW story I saw. And the thing is, whatever people say about it, I completely got how marvellous DW was from it. If it had stopped there, I'd have still been hooked on the awesomeness that is DW and Seven and Ace. So it's not great, but it's in no way as bad as people always claim. (Except for the skinheads. There is no excuse for how cringe-making they are.)

I doodle in rl, but I can't understand, or even begin to approach how anyone draws on a computer. (Draws and scans in, yes, but...? :lol:)

Oh, yes. Pyramids - and, probably Kemel in Evil. I'm sure they count. Don't all fezzes count? :-D

[clocketpatch]

Oh man, oh man, the skinheads. I think them mistaking Lady Peinforte and Richard for "social workers" was the most wtf-making part of the episode.

On MS Paint at least you just draw using the mouse and do so with the understanding that your ability to draw accurately has gone down the zero and everything you do will look like it was completed by a five year old. But I think that's part of the charm. Possibly?

You can also do the pixel-by-pixel thing on Paint but that's way too time consuming for me...

[thisbluespirit]

Hmm, yeah... I don't have the patience to play about with icons properly let alone anything else... :-D See, I get that illustrators draw etc and then scan in to edit things and so on, but that someone - in this case you - has the ability to take a mouse and come out with something that doesn't look like half a spirograph gone wrong amazes me. :-)

Yes, it's just... it never ever made sense and it doesn't even have the strange sort of appeal that the so-so-cool tea shoppe drinkers who remain unmoved when Lady P and Richard appears has. It's just bad, bad, bad. But, even though they are a murdering, villainous pair, I do like Lady Peinforte and Richard.

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

These are really cool. BUT I'M STILL NOT BUYING INTO THE FEZ HYPE DAMN IT.

[clocketpatch]

NOT EVEN WHEN IT'S ACE?!

xD xD xD

(I keep using this icon, and now I feel like I should write some Eleven and Ace in fezzes fic to go with it. ARGHHH, the bunnies. ARGH!)

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm more lenient with Ace, seeing as she and Seven did it first. Although now I'm annoyed about people acting like Eleven's fez was OMG!SO ORIGINAL AND CLEVER!!!

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

The fez hasn't won me over, either :( I just think they're so damn ugly...

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

I think they're quite all right, it's just that hype is boring. It's like ''Bananas are good!'' all over again.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

I still like "bananas are good." But then, I love bananas.
