So metal… Seriously though, Mulan is kinda really foxy.

Thank you for the additions, knit. I would have done myself, but you beat me to it. ^_^
^ Is there any doubt that these women are amazing? I think not. Why don’t we get more of them? #eternalquestioniseternal
Wil Wheaton. Of Star Trek. Face of Boe’ing from Doctor Who. And, more tangentially, Torchwood.
My fandoms just collided. The resulting explosion: brain bunk time. I shall cuddle Vera and weep with joy. But mostly hysteria.
