Log in.
With tired eyes, the blonde typed in her email and password. She could hear the noise from downstairs, her parents talking while they watched the game, her younger sister Anna singing in her bedroom. The clock read 1:30 PM, but Elsa had just finally roused herself from sleep.
"C'mon, Tumblr, you piece of shit," she grumbled, watching with growing impatience as the little icon swirled and swirled and swirled but refused to show Elsa her Dashboard, "Must be updating - again. Jeez, it's done this how many times this month?" Then again, her Wi-Fi was pretty faulty...
Clipping up her messy blonde hair, Elsa slipped from her bed and into her unicorn slippers, the baggy Disney sweater she wore as pajamas sliding into place as she stood. She reached the door and flicked on the light, taking a moment to admire her room; the pinnacle of Fandom, as she called it. The Doctor stood, life sized and made of cardboard, watching over her bed with his Sonic raised high. Posters of Sherlock and Supernatural hung on her walls, books scattered the floor, bits and pieces of cosplay things thrown carelessly into the closet. Looking over to a shelf, she picked up a Deadpool action figure and set it upright on the shelf. She opened the door and slid silently from her room, past Anna's shut door and down the steps.
"Well, look who's awake. Finally," her mother said, chuckling as she watched Elsa shuffle into the kitchen. The fridge opened, she pulled out an iced coffee, and then it was shut again. "Yes, yes, I sleep late. Call the newscast," the blonde responded, annoyance edging into her tone. She sipped her coffee and stood behind the couch, watching the game for a while until Anna bound down the stairs. She was still in her pajamas, hair braided and smiling.
"I see you're enjoying your summer vacation," Elsa chuckled, watching as Anna skipped forward and kissed their parents on the cheek. The red head nodded, hanging on her older sister as she hugged her. "No more high school, finally an adult... It's amazing!" she laughed, finally releasing Elsa and springing into the kitchen.
She laughed softly, then took her leave. Up the stairs, past Anna's room, into her own. Elsa nearly leaped onto the bed as she saw the glorious sight of her Tumblr Dashboard sitting open and waiting, already showing 100+ in new notifications. "Alright, let's do this." Setting her coffee on the bedside next to the tank that held her goldfish Moby, she pulled the laptop into her lap and clicked over her activity.
"Hm, a new follower," she said with a smile. Her roleplay blog, thedoctor-thesavior, had grown rather popular in the year or so she'd had it. But even with almost 1,000 followers, she still felt like every new follower was her first. Opening tabs to the replies she owed, Elsa clicked on her inbox and found a message from her new follower:
girl-withthe-sainttattoo asked you:
Hey! So I'm fucking in love with your Doctor. Seriously. Why haven't I found you sooner? Anyway, I'd really like to roleplay, so message me if you're interested? Thanks! :D - Joanmun
Elsa felt a swell of pride. She worked hard on her interpritation of the Doctor, being sure to watch the latest episodes and even going as far as reading all canon Doctor Who works. Clicking the URL, she was surprised by what she saw. It was a Joan of Arc roleplay blog, and it was one she'd seen many times before. I knew that URL was familiar... Elsa thought to herself, tucking a strand of blonde hair from her eyes. She'd seen this roleplayer on her Dashboard many times, roleplaying with the various other characters she followed. But she'd never actually got around to following herself. It was a very well laid out blog, and the writing was so beautiful that Elsa found it almost criminal.
Elsa shot back a message back and posted a quick welcome post before shutting the computer lid and going to shower.
