I doubt my own commitment to sparkle motion, tbh
A. Fic round-up for July, since I finally dusted and edited some things and back-dated to post them:
1. Doctor Who Questions Answered Before Asking - terribly fluffy, but slightly angsty Thirteen/River where they don't actually meet. Borrows heavily from Blink.
2. Doctor Who A Woolf of One's Own - River Song/Virginia Woolf. This one has been half-finished for ages. I finally had the push to get it done last month and boom, posted.
3. MCU: Ant-Man Echoes Flare - Ava/Hope ficlet which is mostly anger on Hope's side and sexual frustration on Ava's.
It wasn't a deliberately femslash-heavy month. It just happened that way.
B. Big Finish's Legacy of Time, or whatever the anniversary six-parter was, was UTTERLY BRILLIANT. I pretty much loved it in its entirety. DI Menzies, Charley, and Sixy were together again and it was smashing (and I think Menzies needs her own series where people keep giving her the ~unusual cases, and she wants to shoot people a lot). I should babble about it later.
C. I had someone ask me a question the other day and told them to ask Procurement (as its their responsibility), and the person came back to ask me the question. Again. Reading comprehension is low these days.
D. Dyed my hair (refreshing the color, since I had about two inches of root), and while it was supposed to be a reddish brown, it is now candy-maroon-red. At least I've had the color before and it doesn't bother me. It is Very Drahmahtic, though. /amused. It is Last Stand Jean Red.
E. I listened to the Missy audios as well. Not sure I have thoughts on those outside of loving Michelle Gomez.
F. Finally finished off season ten of DW! I am through all of Twelve, hurrah. My... thoughts aren't particularly revolutionary. Mostly, I feel sort of meh on it. I think I need more watches or something. It's probably not helped that I don't have it as audio files.
G. I'm still paused on season eleven. I need to pick that up again (I got frustrated with downloads right after Rosa, which I thought was a fine episode, if a bit uncomfortable in the White People Should Not Be Part Of This Story way).
H. Gave the first episode of Miss Fisher's Modern Mysteries a try and... was not impressed. I just really dislike condescending, domineering men who don't get shot before the third act so I never have to see them. Probably didn't help that the intro to Miss Fisher was "here are her ass and tits, boys! Also, she totes likes sexxxx." I mean. I'm not saying Phryne was ever subtle, but her intro was sauntering along with Mac. WAY different framing. :/
(also, not a fan of love triangles; which it appears to be going for. Also, tired of 'female detective learns the ropes' story-lines)
I. Yes, I have seen the trailer for Nancy Drew. No, it doesn't look good. I probably sound old saying this, but the 50s-flavor to the movie they did about a decade ago was way more entertaining than a modern teen sexay drama with supernatural bullshit.
J. THOUGH. If they want to do it as a 1920s-era thing. I'd be all for that. (Bess would insist on flapper wear, George would do a lot of "why is this my life" facepalming, and Nancy would still drive her car. A bit like Phryne. Ahem.)
K. I need to go back to dusting off files and posting ficlets. I sort of stalled out on that.

I watched all the Ms Fisher eps as they aired and while not amazing, the first is probably the weakest. The triangle really only exists in the guys' heads, and the ex boyfriend is put on a bus at the end of the second episode. Not nearly as good as the Phryne series, of course.

I LOVED THE AUGHTS NANCY DREW MOVIE AS YOU RECALL.
