The Congress of Vienna can be summarized eerily well by Mean Girls Quotes
- Doesn't have the traditional "fangirl" format, but is still awesome.
- Metternich: So you've actually never been to a real congress before?
- Shut up
- Shut up
- Talleyrand: I didn't say anything
- :
- Tsar Alexander: So if you're from France, why're you an aristocrat?
- Castlereagh: Oh my god, Tsar, you can't just ask people why they're aristocrats
- :
- Agostino Pareto: I wish we could all get along like we used to in the ancien regime... I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy...
- Frederick Augustus: He's doesn't even have a King!
- Emperor Francis: Are you even a monarchy?
- Pareto: No. I just have a lot of feelings.
- :
- Tsar Alexander: I'm kind of psychic. I have a fifth sense.
- Talleyrand: What do you mean?
- Tsar Alexander: It's like I have Godly visions or something. My hair can always tell when there's going to be a revolution
- Talleyrand: Really? That's amazing.
- Tsar Alexander: Well, they can tell when there is a revolution happening.
- :
- Metternich: Let me tell you something about Napoleon Bonaparte. We were allies in the Sixth Coalition. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... whatever. So then in 1813, I started going out with the Sixth Coalition, which was totally victorious. But then it broke apart, and Napoleon was like, weirdly jealous of it. Like, if I would blow him off to hang out with Castlereagh, he'd be like "Why didn't you write me back?". And I'd be like "Why are you so obsessed with me?". So then, for my Christmas Ball, which was a Coalition Discussion, I was like "Napoleon, I can't invite you because I think you're a tyrant". I mean, I couldn't have a tyrant at my ball. There were gonna be Kings there with their ministers. I mean, right? He was a tyrant. So then his minister wrote my King and started yelling at him, it was so retarded. And then he abdicated because no one would ally with him, and he came back in the middle of the Congress of Vienna, all of his army was destroyed and he was totally weird, and now I guess he's on St. Helena.
- :
- Castlereagh: Well, I mean you wouldn't invade a country without asking your allies first if it looks good on you
- Talleyrand: I wouldn't?
- Castlereagh: Right. Oh, and it's the same with monarchs. Like, you may think you like a King, but you could be wrong.
MY SHIP BREATHES UNDERWATER

Here’s the section about Tennant:
“Recently, Doctor Who won a victory over Star Trek by becoming the longest-running science fiction series ever. Twice as many actors have played the Doctor over its entire run as have played James Bond. All the way back in the ’70s, the role belonged to Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor), and his biggest fan in the universe was a geeky kid named David McDonald.
And McDonald was a megafan to an extent that few men could begin to realize. As a child in school, it was all he ever wrote about, to the point where his teacher had to tell him to stop before she had to fail him. His most treasured possession was the stripy Doctor Who scarf his grandmother knitted him.
But he was a talented kid, even if he channeled all that talent into incessantly ranting about Doctor Who (a teacher still has one of his essays about the Doctor, titled “Intergalactic Overload,” in which McDonald talked about becoming obsessed with the thought of being the Time Lord himself). And where most kids eventually drop their fantasy of growing up to be, say, a Jedi, David McDonald stuck to his guns and joined acting school. Only, because they already had a guy named David McDonald, he changed his name to something that a lot of nerds will find instantly familiar: David Tennant.
Tennant worked hard, forging himself a successful career in Shakespearean stage productions, until one day, while recording a radio play, he learned of a project that was being recorded next door: a Doctor Who animation being produced in an attempt to revive the series after a 14-year hiatus. This was Tennant’s big break. He crashed the production and managed somehow to convince the director to give him a small role. Now that his foot was in the door, he was able to audition for the role he was born to play once the series geared up again. And guess what? He lost to Christopher Eccleston.
Oh, but they gave Tennant the role a year later, when Eccleston quit. And Tennant went on to be voted the best version of the Doctor ever by fans, which makes sense, because he knew the character better than anyone in the history of the universe. As if that wasn’t a big enough screw you to the realists who mocked his obsession, he also married the daughter of Peter Davison, the fifth Doctor. Because apparently his good fortune just wasn’t implausible enough already.”
Actual tears. David baby, I love you an incomprehensible amount.
OKAY FINE I ADMIT IT I WIELD I WATCHED X-MEN FIRST CLASS AGAIN I’M SORRY I JUST LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH
And Penelope, and Becoming Jane, and now I’m going to watch Atonement and the Last Station and Wanted and maybe Bright Young Things. Do we see a trend happening here?
Also someone was offering up a Marauders role play with James playing Remus, and I just have to comment, that’s pretty much perfect.

From the photo, I couldn’t tell which of them was meant to be which, though. Probably someone should make Good Omens twice, so they could each play each role. That would work.
A lot of people have been throwing around posters for their dream casting of Good Omens, and there’s a few (Hiddles/Cumby!) that I really like, but when my flatmate and I were reading GO, we mentally both cast David Tennant and Jude Law as Crowley and Aziraphale, respectively. With that in mind, here is my submission for dream casting.
OH MY GOD I CAN’T BREATHE BECAUSE I AM SO IN LOVE AND THIS IS SO PERFECT ASDFGHJKL FANGIRL SCREAM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
