Weeping angel

[–]Sexigesimal 62 points63 points ago

In 2005 a woman made her own very impressive weeping angel costume and pulled this same gag on a woman at DragonCon who turned out to be Jewel Staite of Firefly. There are some nice photos of the creation process as well as some shots from the con further down. Check it out: http://www.therpf.com/f24/doctor-who-blink-weeping-angel-costume-49264/

[–]Martian_Mushrooms 8 points9 points ago

I'm gonna need to see a few more pictures of Jewel Staite in that dress... for fapping.

[–]lolodotkoli 0 points1 point ago

Yo mean science?

[–]Martian_Mushrooms 12 points13 points ago

No, fapping. I gave up pretending a while ago.

[–]Connorfry 123 points124 points ago

[–]Notorious96 14 points15 points ago

Fast. Faster than you can believe!

[–]Consequence6 11 points12 points ago

Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink.

Good luck.

[–]HamsterBoo 7 points8 points ago

[–]OuO_hello 2 points3 points ago

They're the weeping angles. Look out. And keep looking.

[–]suchaherosandwich 7 points8 points ago

Awww... look at that weeping angle, its so acute!

[–]0layer 5 points6 points ago

Come on now, don't be obtuse.

[–]Robert_Cannelin 3 points4 points ago

Damn right!

[–]MalcolmReynoldsWrap 20 points21 points ago

Just NOPE the fuck out.

[–]Aperture_Lab_Tech 14 points15 points ago

Don't they just send you back in time and let you "live to death." Am I the only one who finds that not very scary?

[–]Skelthy 27 points28 points ago

Some will just snap your neck, like the ones in "The Time of Angels."

[–]Aperture_Lab_Tech 12 points13 points ago

well fuck

[–]Captainpatch 4 points5 points ago

Because they didn't need humans for food with the space ship so close they'd rather just kill them so that pesky warnings don't show up from the past.

[–]Jackal_Legacy 6 points7 points ago

Because they didn't need humans for food with the space ship so close they'd rather just kill them so that pesky warnings don't show up from the past. For fun.

[–]Captainpatch 1 point2 points ago

Also a very real possibility.

[–]GalantZ 0 points1 point ago

Not a possibility. Angel "Bob" pretty much explicitly stated it that way when the doctor asked.

[–]Corpuscle 1 point2 points ago

Being forever separated from everything you know and everyone you care about? I find that pretty scary.

[–]lurkingn00b 0 points1 point ago

You have to leave everything you know- people, your job, your home- and start a completely new life.

[–]Aperture_Lab_Tech 2 points3 points ago

True but you get to TRAVEL THROUGH TIME so there's that. As far as horrible deaths from monsters goes I'll take live to death please.

[–]fistman 3 points4 points ago

Think about it...they flick you back when you are unprepared. It's not like you know exactly which time you'll end up in either. You flick back. No proof of identity. No money (yours will likely be minted after the time you arrive, so if you try and use it, you are arrested for counterfeiting). Your skills? You have none that are valid. The technology you currently use hasn't been invented. You also don't have any papers to say you are a tradesman, engineer, doctor. You have to find some sort of menial work to start just to buy food. Today's population is not used to manual labor. Then find some sort of shelter.

Assuming you are not mugged or killed or frozen to death living on the streets, and actually survive the first year, you might start to think about making money on the stock market. Unfortunately, with the low wage jobs you've managed to find, you are living hand to mouth. Lets even say you've managed to squirrel a little away. How do you know what stock will go up or down on a certain day? Overall you might know the IBM is a good bet 40 years ago, but that is long term. Sporting bets? Do you remember any results from before you were born? Investing in technology? You need a lot of seed money to start that. "I'll make a Sony walkman" really? How? You need more than ideas. What if you are thrown back to 1900? What skills do you have to survive? What about 1870? Can you ride a horse? Even your language would be considered vulgar and uncivilized.

[–]Aperture_Lab_Tech 3 points4 points ago

You're saying oh it's scary you just haven't thought about it and honestly I find that pretty presumptuous on your part. Compared to other horrible monsters from fiction who will eviscerate, mutilate, torture, and terrify you the angels blink you into another existence. I'll take my chances thanks.

[–]fistman 0 points1 point ago

I'll take being vaporised by a Dalek or being cyberconverted over slowly starving or freezing to death in a back alley as people think you're crazy about mumbling about the future...or worse, living out your remaining life in a one room angel cage farm waiting to die.

[–]huntewiden 0 points1 point ago

Now since we're talking like this, remember the scene with the tardis when the light was flickering on and off, why the hell were the angels moving in such weird positions?

[–]RadiantDark 0 points1 point ago

Dr. Who is why they are scary...

Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead.

[–]frezor 5 points6 points ago

A picture of an Angel... is an Angel.

[–]SirRonPaul -1 points0 points ago

And don't look at their eyes

[–]thatguysammo 5 points6 points ago

but weeping angels cant move when someone is watching

[–]N0V0w3ls 10 points11 points ago

It was moving in between frames of the camera.

[–]TheAlmaity 4 points5 points ago

[–]DementedHeadcrab 14 points15 points ago

slenderman's crazy sister in law

[–]Bagelson 10 points11 points ago

[–]DancesWithDaleks 7 points8 points ago

Reference for the really uninitiated. The Weeping Angels are basically aliens that look like statues. They don't move while you look at them (hence "Don't Blink"). They feed on the energy from sending people back in time. So if you so much as Blink they'll send you back in time and you'll live out the rest of your life but (probably) never see anyone you love again. Or they just kill you. They're very scary.

[–]Pathfinder551 7 points8 points ago

You could blink one eye at a time. ;)

[–]DancesWithDaleks 9 points10 points ago

I think Amy does that in "The Time of the Angels", but she looks them in the eyes. Whoops.

[–]dietotaku 6 points7 points ago

you could also carry a pocket mirror and hold it up to their face.

[–]lurrker 4 points5 points ago

And yell EXFOLIAAATE! That unnerves them.

[–]peg_leg 1 point2 points ago

OMG I heard that in a Dalek voice.

[–]illmtK 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand. You can't blink or you'll be sent in time, but you can turn your head to scream at the girl for a full second or two, and still be fine with the alien just barely touching you? Cmon, maaaaaaan.

[–]ScaryFast 0 points1 point ago

They have to touch you, and they can only move when you aren't looking at them.

[–]illmtK 3 points4 points ago

I'm saying that a blink is faster than turning your head for a full 1-2 seconds. He lives after turning his head vs just blinking.

[–]tesla3327 3 points4 points ago

Disclaimer: If you truly have no idea what a weeping angel is this video will most likely confuse you

[–]DerpMatt -4 points-3 points ago

Ok, no offense. But that was pretty fucking stupid.

What the fuck was that girl doing? Bitch, it is a fucking old wooden door, you dont NEED a key for it. Go out a damn window.

Also, dont leave your fucking companion like that, then saunter around looking at things while he is begging for help.

[–]Media_Offline 5 points6 points ago

I know this is heresy on Reddit but most of Dr. Who is similarly silly imo.

[–]DerpMatt 7 points8 points ago

Seriously. The guy was screaming for help. While she was jiggling a doorknob. Then she just casually walked around a bit looking around.

[–]NeoVenezia 2 points3 points ago

Precisely what I thought the moment I saw this.

[–]PS_OliveJuice 2 points3 points ago

I read the caption in Leo from Leo and Satan's voice

[–]Solitaryfein 4 points5 points ago

I need to go cry in the shower now

[–]feureau -4 points-3 points ago

Wait, no! There's an angel in there! We lock her up staring at the mirror last night!

[–]homestanrunner 1 point2 points ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–]Smithburg01 0 points1 point ago

Oh how I would love to get fake sharp teeth, and be dressed up and painted to look like a statue, then cover my face, and just wait

[–]jzeitler121 0 points1 point ago

Should have figured someone would have beat me to it.

[–]maxpower548 0 points1 point ago

Thats what I thought as soon as I saw it xD

[–]Notjustaface 0 points1 point ago

I came to the comment section to say exactly that. :(

[–]mrbananas 0 points1 point ago

It seems like a weeping angel wouldn't be that hard to defeat, while they are frozen as stone you could tie they up with chains, push them off a cliff, plant explosives around them, etc. once you know a statue is an angel it seems highly vulnerable to your attacks

[–]alelan -2 points-1 points ago

hah! My thoughts exactly... Why oh why do i love something so scary :)

[–]TheBlueBlaze -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Moonburger 72 points73 points ago

I can't decide if I like this account because it posts boobs, or dislike it because, in a way, it rewards reposts...

[–]Peace_139 33 points34 points ago

Don't over think boobs, you like it.

[–]WillBlaze 24 points25 points ago

Doesn't matter, saw boobs.

[–]DancesWithDaleks 2 points3 points ago

I don't think it's necessarily rewarding reposts so much as compensating viewers for lack of original comment. I'm not complaining because I don't really mind reposts (they remind me of things I chuckled at) and I also like boobs. Pretty win/win.

[–]more_exercise 0 points1 point ago

If_Repost_Then_Boobs should repost a picture of boobs. Then he will be obligated to put a picture of boobs in the comments.

The best of all possible worlds.

[–]tenehemia 11 points12 points ago

Same, but most of them are "excited about Oswin".

[–]onion_cutting_champ 3 points4 points ago

She seems like she could out quirky the Doctor, I cannot wait to see that (also she is an absolute worldie).

[–]14thDoctor 3 points4 points ago

Either that or it'll be a Moffat trick. In other words, perhaps the character she played at the beginning of the season ends up being unrelated to the companion character she plays.

[–]onion_cutting_champ 0 points1 point ago

Moffat is planning something, bringing her in early in the same episode that Daleks start disguising themselves as humans? I'm thinking she's gonna get Donna Nobled, even more Paradoxes are going to turn up or she is part of a series of androids spread through space and time and the main plot will be finding out who created them.

[–]14thDoctor 4 points5 points ago

Yup. By now, I know enough to know I don't know, and to just wait to see what he does.

[–]onion_cutting_champ 0 points1 point ago

All I know is that logic and my emotions are going to take an absolute pounding.

[–]14thDoctor 1 point2 points ago

Yup. Prepare those feels, he's going to kick us in them . . again and again.

[–]tenehemia 1 point2 points ago

I'm just excited to have a companion who (hopefully) knows her way around. It's been a while (since Jack, pretty much) since the companion wasn't a blank slate when it comes to space and time.

[–]smarmynamehere 4 points5 points ago

oh yeah, don't get me wrong, super excited about oswin.

[–]DancesWithDaleks 7 points8 points ago

I know it's been a while but you may want to consider putting a spoiler tag on that so as not to spoil it for new viewers.

You just shot me sir, she was the hottest companion yet. You sir just stabbed me in the heart.

She blinked, and she's lucky she looked back when she did, otherwise she'd have had to grow up in the depression.

Okay, so the camerawork hides it with the quick zoom, but it's clearly a very windy day and the clothes are blowing in the wind like crazy, making it clear that she is not actually carved from stone.

I'm not going to say it was staged, exactly, since four year olds can be pretty gullible, but it would definitely have been more effective indoors or on a clam day.
