Back in 1999 when the British tv series, written by Russell T. Davies, “Queer as Folk” came out, I didn’t watch it, I did hear of it and how ground breaking it was and the stir it caused due to its ‘graphic’ sex scenes and its honest depiction of the Manchester gay scene, but I guess, at that point in my life I wasn’t that interested, I am a straight woman, back then living in London and too busy raising a small baby, so teletubbies and the Spice Girls were more my cup of tea at the time.

Fast forward 9 years later, around 2008, I became a huge fan of the sci-fi tv series Doctor Who, from the First Doctor to the Tenth, back then RTD was in charge, the moment Moffat took over the reigns and brought along with him a new Doctor, new companions and a completely different show I realised that I was more of a fan of Russell T. Davies writing really.

I also became a big fan of slash ships/pairings and gay romance on tv and films, so, I had to ask myself why the hell I had not watched “Queer as folk” yet?! Seeing as it was written by Russell T. Davies and it was all about gay characters, so, I took the plunge and bought the complete dvd boxset from Amazon, a few days ago I finished the lot.

Now I am completely in love with the series, the characters and also gutted that there aren’t anymore episodes to watch.

Watching it reminded me of what a great writer Russell T. Davies is, he knows how to write characters that you get to deeply care about, drama and humour perfectly combined and most of all character development. 

Stuart Jones as played by the utterly gorgeous Irish actor Aidan Gillen has become one of my favourite characters ever, cocky, damaged, a bit lost, Vince Tyler as played by Craig Kelly is a teddy bear of a man and a hardcore whovian too, Nathan, played by Charlie Hunnam, is a teen with an angelic beauty coming to terms with his sexuality and causing some trouble in the process… By the way, as sadly I can’t be a gay man myself, although God knows I would love to be one, I decided that my life ambition is to become Hazel Tyler, Vince’s mum, I think I’m already half way there.

I thoroughly recommend this series (the UK version) so, if you get a chance to watch it, do so!

Like me, you can buy the complete dvd boxset dirt cheap from Amazon here

If in the UK, you can actually watch it on 4OD here

If outside the UK, you can watch it on Hulu here

Or you can also watch it on YouTube (although it has very bad quality and it’s scattered in many parts) here

I forgot to mention that the 90’s music soundtrack is fantastic as well!

“I can’t. We don’t to hammers. And nails. Or saws. We do joints and screws but that’s different. Queers. Because I’m queer. I’m gay. I’m homosexual. I’m a puff. I’m a puffter. I’m pance. I’m a bumboy baddyboy backside artist bugger I’m bent. I am that arse bandit. I lift those shirts. I’m a faggot ass fudge packing shit stabbing up your old gardener. I dine at the downstairs restaurant, I dance at the other end of the ballroom. I’m Moses and the parting of the red cheeks. I fuck. And I’m fucked. I suck and I’m sucked. I rim them and wank them and every single man’s had the fucking time of his life. And I’m not. A pervert.”

EXCUSE ME DOCTOR, BUT THAT IS THE MASTER’S BED.  You can tell because he is asleep in it, what are you doing stop encouraging me to make slash.

emoeba:

Hoooly hell. 

I caved and had to Google John Simm because I don’t know his face as well as David Tennant’s, but uh… no reference otherwise.  This is a hyper doodle and tomorrow I will probably see all the flaws that are going over my head right now.  But until then I shall allow myself to be happy with this drawing.

More crack OTP!

The poor Master just wants the Doctor to like him.

emoeba:

Obligatory Doctor/Master porn.

I’m actually embarrassed by this one, but I think my anatomy is improving.

emoeba:

Yes my Dalek is crippled, I need to mix some epoxy and fix him, ok? 

I made some polymer clay cake slices (with strawberries on top!) this evening.  They should be in scale with my Doctor and Master action figures.  Soon my babies can feed each other cake~

For now they’re holding hands and walking a Dalek in my bookshelf.
