I could apologize, but it would be terribly insincere.

Guys! Guys! [livejournal.com profile] trollopfop wrote me that fic that I've been wanting for ages. The one in which Sam is the Master and Gene is the Doctor. And there's even hints of Alex!Rani. *Purrs* This makes many things better. Who needs alcohol when there can be sketch? You should totally read it.

Also. Jack could totally reach the top of the police box sign, for the purposes of pulling a key out of a cubbyhole. Yes? No? Am I completely out of my mind?

Have you seen the McGann? ...er, the movie, I mean? I'm pretty sure the Doctor had to boost Grace up to get the key, and looking at jack and the TARDIS there I'd think he might be a BIT too short for it. I'd suggest the Doctor boost him up, but I suspect a) they'd just boost Rose and b) Jack would probably enjoying copping a feel by giving the Doctor a leg up. So to speak. ^____^ I know I would!

I have, actually, seen the TV movie. I have a mad love for Paul McGann, even if the movie is pure CRACK.

My logic is that it's roughly 8 feet to the top of the sign. Jack's a little over 6 feet tall, and the average distance from a person's nose to their fingertips is a yard. He might have to stand on the little ledge by the base and stretch, but I think he could reach. On top of which, the TARDIS used (http://www.relative-dimensions.net/Police%20Box/images/tardis-new%20with%20doctor%20and%20romana.jpg) to be (http://www.doctorwho-devious.com/doctorwho-devious_images/jonptardis006.jpg) shorter (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39405000/jpg/_39405202_tardis203.jpg), as far as I can tell, so who knows what the actual dimensions are? (Possibly the dimensions change slightly every time it rematerializes - slight fluctuations in the chameleon circuit? Yeah, coming up with logical reasons for why things happen in Doctor Who is probably a bad idea.)

I think people who do not love the McGann have no soul. Hate the movie, fine, but not MCGANN! ;_; I <3 him. He was almost my first Doctor, so he is my squishy Doctor. (The Doctor I remember first is actually Three, but I was really little; Eight is the one I actually paid attention to, way back in...what, '96? Christ, I feel old now...)

It's decent logic, I think, but for some reason the picture put me off. And like you say, logic + Who = UNIVERSE IMPLOSIONS, so you could likely as not get away with it. And maybe the TARDIS would help by conveniently getting smaller as Jack gets taller. Or something. RELATIVITY: NOT JUST FOR SCIENTISTS! It's also for kinky DW fanfic. Apparently (http://mercurial-wit.livejournal.com/34639.html). [shifty eyes] (Not that that one was kinky, per se, but I love the geekery in it. And Jack. I miss Jack/Rose/Nine = TEAM TARDIS. Sigh. And that picture you posted brings it back. ;_;)

He totally could. You're not completely out of your mind. At least not about that.

Thank you! That is reassuring to hear. And I'll pretend you didn't just say that.

Well, I figure he's got long arms. And toes. Not long toes, but toes to stand on the tippies of. Though I have a hard time seeing Jack standing on his tippy toes for any reason, though getting a TARDIS key would be a good one.

Jack standing on his tiptoes is weirdly adorable. It shouldn't be, but it is. He would do it for Martha! In an attempt to stop the Doctor from moping!

Maybe I need to go to bed (well, I do, but that's not the point), but what does Jack standing on tiptoe for Martha have to do with keeping the Doctor from moping?

I also notably thought that said "mopping" the first time I read it, and I was like, "what, the Doctor isn't allowed to do a bit of cleaning from time to time?"

*Giggles* It's for a fic (well, a couple of fics). I swear it makes sense in context.

It's the Doctor. I think that letting him do something as domestic as mopping is just asking for disaster. I'm not sure exactly how disaster would be brought about with nothing but the Doctor, a mop, and a bucket of soapy water, but mark my words, IT WOULD.

Okay, as long as it makes sense somewhere. My mind can be less blown by it.

Buckets of soapy water in general are asking for disaster. Let alone being handled by a Time Lord.

♥ It's not just because you're sleep-deprived. Though seriously, get some sleep, you.

But I'm being productive! I got a whole conversation between Ianto and the Doctor written. And it was a lot of words.

Oh, well then. In that case, sleep can totally wait. Yay, productivity!

Wait, the icon is throwing me off. Are you being sarcastic?

No, it's just my only Ianto icon besides this one. Which is even less appropriate. All my icons with Ianto in are bitchy or breaky or holding guns, for some reason.

It all makes sense now. Yeah, this is my only Ianto icon. Well, and the one of him and Martha, but it's just a general Jonesy icon.

And bitchy, breaky, and holding guns is a pretty good assessment of Ianto. (That sentence doesn't seem grammatically sound)

It seems perfectly grammatical to me. Then again, I'm... just about to go to sleep, and I'm not sure my last sentence there was exactly correct, so... you may not want to listen to me. Right. Bed now.
