VID: Another Girl, Another Planet (Classic Doctor Who, Ace, for festivids)

[such_heights]

festivids reveals, whee! Thank you so much to jackiekjono for my wonderful Bridesmaids vid.

I made a Classic Who vid for suburbannoir and had the BEST time, omg. AAAACE! I didn't actually offer Classic Who because hello there, big intimidating source I only know patches off, but I couldn't resist the request once I saw it. Ace! <3 I got to go back and watch some serials I hadn't seen before*, which was super fun, and generally had a delightful time squeeing over her face.

*I couldn't make it through The Happiness Patrol, though, I have to admit. I got to the end of the first part and couldn't continue because I was laughing too hard and also feeling really quite traumatised.

lyrics:

I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don't care about it
I can face your threats and
Stand up straight and tall and shout about it

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

You get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win, but
I don't need rehabilitating

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet

Space travel's in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
But I know I can't live without it, oh no

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

Another girl is loving you now
Another planet is holding you down
Another planet

I'm just beginning to delve into Classic Who, so I can't appreciate this vid as properly as someone who knows all of the back canon, but this is totally charming! <3

[such_heights]

:D Thanks so much!

[thingswithwings]

Awwww, yay for this vid! Um, I just realised that I never commented on it on the FV post? Probably because I was watching so many in a row and lost track of what I'd commented on. But I really love it, all the gosh-darned ACENESS of it, and I'm thrilled to be able to download it and watch it approx. 300 more times. Ace!

[such_heights]

Yayyy, I am so pleased you liked this! Thank you very much, I am glad to provide some of your recommended dose of ACENESS.

[chaila]

Aww I have heard tell of the awesomeness of Ace beating up Daleks with baseball bats and carrying explosives around, but it is pretty adorable to actually see it. :)

(And wait, how did you magically make it appear normally on reading lists?!?! Are you some sort of wizard?)

[such_heights]

:D Thanks so much, I am happy to introduce you!

And no no, I just posted this actually on festivids reveal day rather than having it set up in advance.

[badgerbag]

that was you? I loved it!!!!!!

[such_heights]

Indeed it was - thank you, I'm so glad! :D

[petra]

I missed this somehow, so I am immensely glad to see it now. The ACEness of it all, the worlds, the girls--so many girlfriends!--the nose-poke of affection--I am bouncing in my chair and beaming.

[such_heights]

Yay, what a lovely comment! Thank you very much. :D

[elisi]

Aaaaaaace! *flails* I could watch Ace FOREVER.

Also, the song is so spot-on I'm in awe! ♥ ♥ ♥

[such_heights]

:D Thank you! And yes, I am surprised I've never come across to a Doctor Who vid to this song before, it's delightfully perfect.

[avendya]

I should have known that was you. (I nearly recced it to you.)

[such_heights]

Hee! Well it is relevant to my interests, funnily enough. *g*

[rthstewart]

Loved it so much. I'm not sure I posted over there so I shall here. Ace is such a terrific character and she's so expressive and I really enjoyed her relationship with the Doctor and with all her friends. And explosives, right?

[such_heights]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you! Ace is pretty much the best.

[tardis_stowaway]

Aaaaaaaace! This is all things glorious. I've only dipped my toes into classic Who, but I've seen more than enough to adore Ace and to recognize that this video captures her spirit very well.

[such_heights]

Hurray, thanks so much! Her awesomeness is overwhelming I must say.

[lizbee]

suburbannoir is my housemate, and she came running into my room on Festivid Day saying, "LIZ, I GOT AN ACE VID!"

So it got the House o'Squid thumbs up.

[such_heights]

Aw yay, that is awesome to hear. :DDD

[rhivolution]

This vid was so brill, as I said in my original comment. YAY!

[such_heights]

\o/ Yay indeed, thank you!

[hibernate]

Oooh, this was yours? I really love it! Been watching it a lot since I first saw it. :D ♥ACE♥

[such_heights]

Aw, that's lovely to hear, thank you! AAACE! :D

[fan_eunice]

AHAHAHAHA, I recced your own vid to you. That is sort of amazing. Well, it was true anyway, it *was* a good year for Classic Who. Thanks in part to you :D

In conclusion? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

[such_heights]

Yes, yes you did! I giggled a lot. :D

ACE IS AMAZING, OMG OMG OMG.

[mergatrude]

ACE!!!

Oh, this is awesome! Made me so nostalgic for the days of Seven. Thanks!

[such_heights]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you! :D

[ladymercury_10]

AHHHH ADORABLE. You are giving me all the Ace feels, and now I really want to watch another serial, which is inconvenient, because I am currently engaged in a truly terrifying week of midterms. This is probably why I should spend my lunch break eating and/or doing math homework rather than interneting, haha....

Oh, well, I can always fangirl Ace next week over Thanksgiving break. :D

[such_heights]

Yay, thank you so much! ACE! I'm really glad you liked this.
