Lauren 💫

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you! and happy birthday for tomorrow!

Turned 26 today. One year closer to being ineligible for a railcard 💔

A google map route showing the walking route from Liverpool to Cardiff. The suggested routes take 2 days and 9 hours or 2 days and 10 hours.

Can’t really justify spending £90 on a train ticket to Cardiff to go and see Ianto’s shrine before it’s taken down. Maybe I could walk it instead?

Cover design of You Are Not Alone: A Gay History of Doctor Who.

We’re pleased to announce the publication of a new history of Doctor Who, examining the programme from a queer perspective for the first time. You Are Not Alone: A Gay History of Doctor Who is written by @patrickmulkern.bsky.social and will be released on 25 May. Order now from tenacrebooks.co.uk/

I’m tracking every big finish story I listen (and re-listen) to this year so I can make a big finish wrapped at the end of December. I was just updating the spreadsheet with my recent listens and realised I’ve listened to almost sixty hours of big finish since the start of the year 🧍

yess! I’m hopefully going to be cosplaying rory

luckily this is my local con so even if I decide I can’t justify spending out to meet them with photos/autos, if they do a panel or interview it will feel worth it (though maybe it wouldn’t if I had to travel from further away)

As for whether I’ll be able to afford any photos/autos, well that depends on how much overtime I can squeeze in between now and the con 😅

I caved and bought a weekend ticket for Comic Con Liverpool. The pull of Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill at the same con was too strong.

Here we go! The art for total reMaster (see what I did there?) of the wonderful TV Movie! Loved doing the art for this one, Huge thanks to the brilliant @paulvanezis.bsky.social for being so helpful supplying screengrabs and behind the scenes images which haven't seen the light of day for 30 years!

The Doctor Who TV movie steelbook

A hand moving to slam a button that says “preorder”

I’m not normally a steelbook collector but I absolutely need to own this 😁

Painting of man wearing a shirt and tie looking down smiling at a small girl.

I think the introduction to the 11th with little Amy Pond was superb and mostly that whole first 'Raggedy Man' series for Matt Smith worked so well.

going to be counting down the days to valiant and flux to get me through it 🙏🏻

I had so much fun at gallifrey one I’ve been feeling a bit miserable since I got home. I’m back at work tomorrow so I look forward to feeling extra miserable for the next few weeks…

I definitely went a little overboard with buying stuff, I was just relieved my suitcase fit within the weight limit when I got to the airport

Thanks! The books (and my back) made it home in one piece

I also have to get a train after I get off my second flight. Please send thoughts and prayers for my back 🙏🏻🙏🏻

buying what some people would consider a ridiculous amount of doctor who books at gallifrey one is all fun and games until you have to carry them through the airport

yeah :( I really hope I can make it next year

A phone being held up in front of a window. The screen shows the stuff of legend - the live show playing on the big finish app. Through the window there is a plane.

attempting to cope with post con sadness at the airport :(

ooh thanks, I’ll give it a listen!

I NEED to know what the big finish lunches look like. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a big finish panel where the lunches haven’t been brought up at some point… #gally1

Happy birthday!!

jet lag is so fun. it’s almost 9am. i have been awake for almost seven hours. i still have a full day ahead of me.

finished my cosplay less than an hour before I need to leave to go to the airport, does this finally make me a real cosplayer??
