AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Now that that's taken care of ...

DOCTOR! MOIST VON LIPWIG HAS STOLEN THE TARDIS!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Okay, so I was planning to watch the next episode on that library DVD tonight, but it turned out I had watched them all last night (how did that happen?) so I went poking around in the special features and there were comedy sketches! I like comedy sketches, what the heck, I'll give it a shot. And they were funny. Hysterically funny, on some counts. BUT THEN ...


I think I managed to watch the whole sketch without blinking. Or possibly breathing.

After a little bit of internet scrounging, on account of there being no credits for the sketches (?!) I discovered this unnerving apparition is none other than MARK GATISS. I KNOW THAT NAME! HE'S FROM FROM RADIO 4! I listened to his show Nebulous! And heard him on other shows!! And he wrote The Unquiet Dead! But I swear – I swear – I have never seen Mark Gatiss before in my entire life! When I drew Moist the first time it was like 'WHOA, he just popped out of my pencil fully formed!' and now I know I was somehow psychically channeling MARK GATISS! I was practically tracing his face! MY HEAD IS A WORMHOLE, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

Because I am currently freaking out and overreacting, here are a handful more screencaptures:

Something like this happened to me, too. I drew a picture of a character of my own, about the umpteenth attempt at capturing that character on paper. It wasn't really based on anyone, and it turned out to be exactly the way I pictured that character (I was pretty impressed, actually--my drawings don't normally turn out that well).

Many months later, I saw a picture of Kate Beckinsale taken from the movie Underworld and just about died. She looked just like my character.
