About This Blog
This is my personal blog, so there's no accounting for what you'll get here. I'll blog a lot of something one month and be on something totally different the next.

I also rant and argue a lot.

Stuff I usually blog:
→ politics (American and international)
→ international relations
→ social justice (feminism especially)
→ language & linguistics
→ the Balkans
→ gymnastics
→ personal stuff
Alison Krauss
fandom

This blog doubles as an Alison Krauss' boobs appreciation blog because for some reason, when you do a Google search for Alison's boobs, my blog is generally the first relevant result. I don't know how this happened, but I will accept it, because if people are gonna be googling her boobs, better they find the blog of a heterosexual fangirl than that of some skeezy old man.

If I ever disappear or get hacked, find me at iellaantilles.tumblr.com.

One thing I love about River/Eleven is the age difference in their actors

If you haven’t seen “The Name of the Doctor”

Three cheers for positive portrayals of age-gap relationships and sex-positive representation for older women in media!

And yet, there are still girls in the River Song tag complaining that they might be able to ship River/Eleven if only Alex Kingston was a bit younger. =/

I FINALLY GOT TO EAT CEVAPCICI IN THE BALKANS AGAIN, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

But I am envious of some great romances. Jesse and Celine from the Before films. The Doctor and River Song. One day I hope to have something like that. I’m a hopeless romantic.

You have excellent taste in pairings.

i’m gonna be (500 miles) - sleeping at last - river & the doctor

I don’t usually have feels for fanvids but wow I was literally clutching a pillow halfway through this one.

The Ponds.

Not okay.

Btw y’all sorry for the Doctor/River spam but 

  • I’m still emotional over it
  • I’m trying to figure out what it means
  • and
  • I’ve spent all day in a boring conference meeting.

My apologies from Belgrade.

So River knows his name because there was only one time when he could say it and I think that was when he wasn’t The Doctor so River has to come back I think when it all unravels

Oh my god, I love this theory. 

He told river his name in let’s kill hitler.

That’s not confirmed, though. I mean, yeah, probably. But this show leaves things like that vague just so they can go back later and say, “Surprise! You thought it was this but it was really that!”

I mean, there are still a ton of people under the impression that the Doctor told River his name during the Wedding of River Song, so.
