two things, mildly useless

[aria]

1.

Draw your own conclusions, because I sure as hell don't know what mine are yet.

2. I have a steadily more burning desire to write Highlander fic. Goddammit. At least Doctor Who has cured me of my conviction that I need to have a comprehensive knowledge of the canon before I write in the universe? I'm still pretty sure, though, that by "write Highlander fic" I mean "write hilarious fic about how Methos is four millennia older than the Doctor, so there." I don't even know, guys.

Oooh, I like both those observations. I am a bit surprised about the second one -- I feel like the two shouldn't correlate, although they obviously do. On the other hand, morally ambiguous immortals are my FAVOURITE. Notice also that a lot of my morally ambiguous characters are also world-saving. Morally ambiguous world-saving immortals who are also sometimes capital-g Good sort of make me weak in the knees, which is of course why I love the Doctor so much. :D

Re: magical immortals, I was slightly tempted to tick 'magical' next to the Doctor, but that's sort of stretching it, and yes, I think as character traits they'd tend to become overpowerful very, very quickly.
