#Thank god and Scotland for Randomthunk

[apollostowel]

Bag customisation, the mostly @randomthunk way.

I found the St. John’s patch and Bowie patch on Etsy, and Bill’s patch just by chance on the googles.

I might still yet swap out the Whouffaldi and PCap pins and replace the one with the other, but we’ll see. No matter, they look awesome on anything.

Very happy with my order!! I got the strike a pose print with it because it's one of my favourite drawings! @randomthunk

I KNOW I’VE BEEN GONE FOREVER BUT GUYS THIS HAPPENED ON THURSDAY, CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE ????? STORY ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL HE IS BELOW THE CUT

I really can’t say this enough - Peter is literally the sweetest man in this universe and I love him so much. He was so good with his fans and was giving everybody time to talk and say what they wanted and early on in the autograph line he was super personalizing everybody’s autographs. I ALSO SAW HIM WHILE IN LINE AND WAS SMILING SUPER BIG AT HIM AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED ME!!! But his autograph line was so overfilled that his 3-5 schedule wasn’t enough to get to everybody and he had to cut it off to do his photo ops. I waited 2 hours in that line (with my very amazing non-whovian friend who was a total trooper, bless his soul!) and was more than halfway to him when he left. I was so crushed and deflated after that because I suddenly knew everything I wanted to say to him and there was no guarantee he was coming back, until word came from his people that he was PROMISING to come back to us after the ops, even though autographing is closed at the point. HE IS SUCH A GOOD MAN!!!! So I go off for my photo op with him and I’m of course wearing my “Thank God and Scotland for Peter Capaldi” shirt (Thank you @randomthunk !!!!!) and he takes one glance at it and says “I love that shirt. That is a great t-shirt you’ve got there!” And my mind was all “afdghkljhgfdgfsk” but I was able to form words and say “Thank you!” and then I handed him my 12th doctor sonic screwdriver and I’m holding the sign I held up in the Thank You Peter video I was a part of. But because I also wanted to hug him in some capacity, I was trying to hold it one handed and put my other hand on his back. So the photographer says “Hold up, I can’t see the whole sign” and Peter said “Oh, I didn’t even see that!” and he turned it to read it and he said “Well, I can’t hold that!” with a chuckle, so I went to go hold it with my other hand but then he actually took the corner and said “But I’ll help.” so I could put my hand back on his back. SUCH A CUTIE!!!!!! And then just as cute, he actually took a moment to choose a sonic screwdriver setting for the photo. I LOVE THIS DORK!!!! Then I told him “Thank you so much” and he said “No, thank you! It was fantastic to meet you!” as he handed my sonic back over and then he said AGAIN (start counting, Ginger) “I really love that t-shirt” and so I said “Thank you!” again and I was all giddy and shit and shaking so badly I couldn’t put the photo in the cover so my friend had to lol. Then an hour later it was back to the autograph line! And I was the 2nd to last one in his line! The person behind me actually didn’t have a pre-bought ticket but 2 very young girls who’d been declined earlier because the line capped, and who were crying their eyes out in the photo op line when they were told Peter wouldn’t sign their painting until they were personally invited back to his autograph line! So I get to the table and just like with Jenna, seeing him and knowing this was my chance to actually talk to him made my brain totally crash and I straight up said to the table staff “I forgot everything I wanted to say.” and she said “Aww no, don’t worry, Peter is great.” and then she tried to read my shirt so I said “It says Thank God and Scotland for Peter Capaldi” and she laughed and then HOLY SHIT Peter, without missing a beat, and while still signing for somebody else like 4 people ahead, glanced over and smiled and said “And it’s true too.” paused and then added “I love that shirt.” PETER CAPALDI AGREES THAT WE SHOULD ALL THANK GOD AND SCOTLAND FOR HIM!!!!! FUCK, HE’S ADORABLE!!!!! And then I got a chance to choose my photo and suddenly there’s only one more person ahead and my stomach’s all knotty but I’ve got this huge smile on my face and he smiled back at me as I inched closer and finally my brain just sorta clicked again. I started with “First off, I just want to say thank you for coming back.” because I could tell at this point he was exhausted but he was still there, bless his heart, and he said “Of course, thank you for waiting!” and then as he signed my photo I said “I really wanted to tell you that you’re my Doctor. And that before 12 came along, I didn’t even know what people meant when they said ‘so and so is my doctor’” and his staff member laughed again and he smiled up at me and said “That’s great.” and I continued with “So, it’s kinda cool now to know, instantaneously, that I can say ‘12 is my Doctor’ and I wanted to thank you, for being my Doctor.” and he said “I’m so glad to hear that!” and then I started to fumble a bit as I looked at him and really make eye contact but I managed to say “And I wanted to say that one episode in particular has really stuck out for me. The one with Cass and Lunn…” and he stopped me and asked “Which one is that again?” and I said “The one where the character, Cass, is deaf and she speaks in sign language.” and he said “Oh! Under the Lake!” and I got all excited and said “Yes! That’s it!” and then I continued where I left off and said “It really meant the world to me that The Doctor didn’t treat Cass any differently than anybody else on the ship. Because, I’m not deaf, but I suffer from Selective Mutism…” and he cut me off again to ask “What’s that?” and I was crying on the inside because I didn’t expect him to actually ask, so I said “It means that sometimes, in certain situations, I can’t speak. My voice just won’t come out.” and he, BLESS HIS HEART, HE SAID TO ME “Well, I wouldn’t even know. You’re doing wonderful right now. You’re speaking very clearly.” RIP ME. I was all smiles but a total wreck and I managed to choke out a “I’m really nervous though.” and he said “Don’t be, you’re doing great.” and my heart just swelled, like how sweet can you be!? I said “Thank you and again, I really loved that episode.” and he got this really soft smile and said “The Doctor doesn’t see people for who they are on the outside. He doesn’t care about that. It’s all about what’s on the inside for him.” and he put his hand on his heart to accentuate that and went on to add, “That’s what really matters to him. That’s what’s important to him. It’s one of my favorite things about him.” and I couldn’t tell if he was going to say anything else so I waited a moment before nodding my head and saying “Thank you so much.” and I thought that was it so I reached for my autograph when he asked “Oh, how did your photo come out!?” SO YEAH, HE ALSO REMEMBERED ME, and I grinned and I said “It came out fantastic! Thank you!” and he nodded his head and said “Good. It was great meeting you. Have a wonderful night.” and I tried to say “You too” but it didn’t really come out so I just extended my hand to him and he took it and gave it a nice, gentle squeeze and a shake AND HIS HANDS WERE SO FUCKING SOFT and then he said “I really do love that t-shirt.” and I laughed and said “Thank you!” yet again because I couldn’t think of anything else to say. I finally took my autograph and bounded off with my friend and he was so psyched for me! ‘Cause I mean, I was like a million times better with Peter than I was with Jenna. He was just so ready and willing to listen and give me time and not that Jenna wasn’t, because she actually gave me a second chance, but idk there was just something so easy about speaking to him (and also that woman had me so fucking starstruck omg.) But I legit couldn’t stop smiling and shaking after that BECAUSE PETER CAPALDI WAS SO KIND AND SWEET AND SOFT AND WARM AND THOUGHTFUL AND BEAUTIFUL AND HE ACTUALLY CALLED ME WONDERFUL AND I COULDN’T AND STILL CAN’T GET THAT OUT OF MY HEAD, I’M GONNA CRY FOREVER T.T
