Hello have you heard of a minecraft series called UHC Generations? It's made by some small creators and I've started watching it. It just seemed to be something you might like.

OH YEAH IVE HEARD OF IT THRU CODENEON! i haven't watched any of it yet but i saw it come up in my notifs and went "huh, neat!"

once real life starts being a lot less hectic i might pick it up! should probably at least watch codeneon's parts of it 'cause he's a really cool guy [coughgowatchgildedcough].

Vee and Glisten are very much The Besties Ever in my mind, so what if,, matching themed skins for them?

Vee's design is based on a rosy maple moth, and Glisten's is based on a malachite butterfly!

Inchie I know you're not as bothered by it but I'm so anxious about landoscar battles 😭 If race starts like Barca are the norm then I'm not sure what will happen. I know they're more maturely behaved but this is a different level and so much tension. (Ignore this if you want I just needed a place to vent!)

anon it's either rly good or rly bad timing for me to reply to this rn !! but I just got home and I need to unwind !

(this went completely all over the place I know you didn't ask for like any of this idk but I hope maybe it helps hearing my take on what I see happening ?? if that's what you meant ?)

I mean yes, the downside of Lando and Oscar working together and wanting the same things out of the car and speeding up McLaren's return to form after decades in the doldrums - and that they've said they want to be teammates for a long time - is that we are in for a LOT of inevitable stress. simply from law of averages etc! not bc landoscar will prove to be epically stressful themselves bc ironically, they don't have any of the ingredients to be one of the big explosive fall out type partnerships: they're not childhood besties, they didn't formulate some big codependent bromance, they're not locked in some sennaprost psychological intense warfare and neither of them are prone to explosive rages.

so it'll be tough for us when they're mad at each other and not getting along, but I just don't think they've got the hot blooded potential to give people the crazy show they're expecting even after a big coming together or an insane battle.

probably their fights will look like some storming past each other without looking, some pointedly avoiding each other at all times, an absence of PR media for a while from McLaren until things cool off. Bob Netflix will FINALLY get his content and ppl who stan solely for either driver will crash out worse than the actual crash lsafgjsalgfl (for me that's when I'll finally be able to go back and make my blog less of a mess by adding tags and emptying my drafts folder)

but fwiw anon, as far as what I expect from both of them tho !

poor Lando has ZERO filter and hides nothing on his face so on the one hand that's been great proof that even the hard times he's had with Oscar have never actually made him furious or resentful so far ! but it means that probably what we'll get from him is what we've seen from when he reacted to clashes and fights with Max: a lot of hurt, a lot of anger but never in a 'I want to punch him' way more a heat of the moment reaction way. he and Max are much closer than fandom thinks (and that I even once thought until that one anon got me looking into it) and battling with him at the front has produced the most emotion out of Lando for that very reason. BUT! Lando didn't have the added incentive of needing to work right next to Max every week and he STILL softened and talked to him and things were fine again <3

Lando feels everything with crazy intensity - but his desire for stability will always win out so long as the other person is willing to work it out. he's had his non-work friendships for fifteen years plus and Jon and Mark have been him for ten plus years - you KNOW he's had fights and difficulties in that time with those people. but they stay in his life for as long as they want to and everything comes good <3

Oscar's reactions honestly we probably won't see much more than a stormy, closed off expression and maybe some choice words - tho even there I could see Oscar choosing to just be very short with the press if he's not feeling fully in control of his anger. he'll never be as open to the public or press as he was before Alpinegate, that like innocence/openness is broken for good. so I can't even say we'll see much reaction from him other than he won't debrief or laugh with Lando if they're feuding.

but !! Oscar as we know has been more than just a normal fan of Lando's from a distance in the way that all younger drivers were. he didn't just tweet at him occasionally or leave comments and likes, he went out and found posts about Lando from 2014 on that had maximum one other like beside his own and he literally openly waited to get LN4 admin to talk to him again and he's known everything from Lando liking arts and crafts as a kid to reminding Lando of a video he did with Max for Quadrant. he was talking about being a fan of his before even Alpine and telling his mum how great it would be to be Lando's teammate since he's "so good" no one would expect Oscar to compete with him right away.

so while that would no more stop him competing against Lando on an equal level than it would for anyone else, it does mean that Oscar isn't going into any of this blind or deluded about what it will be like to directly compete with Lando for wins and a championship. and honestly he's so pragmatic that if he thought 'meh if Lando ends up hating me I won't care' then we wouldn't have seen him being the way he has with Lando. all that affection would've been just dismissed so he can focus on being competitive.

but instead he's allowed himself to stare and hearteyes and adjust to Lando's preferences over food and music even tho they give him no strategic benefit - he's taken up padel when Lando failed to make him play golf and now he plays as much padel with Lando as he does any other driver. their dads bond together in rooting for their boys and ohhh Chris' big strong hug he gave Lando after the Miami win and Adam rooting for Oscar from day one. and if you want to judge a teammate relationship then looking at the dads who have no reason to be buddy-buddy and every reason to favor their own son is a great measure.

like, that level of affection doesn't make any sense for a guy if he's ready to just bin it all and have a cold purely work-related relationship in single-minded pursuit of a WDC.

and like, talk to any Oscar fan who has been with him since before McLaren or look at his content from before then - Oscar is NOT cold or ruthless off the track and he holds onto his friendships the same as Lando. Logan, Guanyu and Liam are still his mates (and the way he looked after Logan who was essentially ostracized by the grid was very tender). Max F is still his mate. all his boarding school friends are still in his life. his only romantic relationship is going strong at 5 or 6 years now. Oscar's family are socially and personality wise the complete opposite of him and he grew up on the other side of the world to his sisters, but they all absolutely adore him (and will never let his head get too big lasfgsjag)

BUT ALSO there is the fact that what I'd suspected is actually kind of true is that Lando and Oscar have focused more on longevity together than having a big impact on fans or the media as teammates. they've grown their off track relationship SO gradually and naturally and carefully and that has worked so well for the times when they've clashed on track or things have worked against one and for another. and now them starting 2025 knowing that the stakes are the highest they can possibly be but !! they're saying they want to be teammates fighting for championships for a long, long time - and they've put pen to paper to prove it. that's literally working in full reverse of how teammates tend to operate - usually they want to establish the teammate relationship quickly so they can then focus on their own performance since keeping their seat depends WAY more on their individual performance than if their bromance is thriving. but landoscar have decided to work counter to that.

so that's a level of maturity and mutual cooperation that's actually pretty astonishing for two drivers barely in their mid-twenties.

and they've literally said over and over how they've discussed these scenarios and they know they're likely which again, that's more than any of these explosive grudge match partnerships have: the childhood or best friend teammates usually pretend they'll be okay and don't think about it and the others don't even care about the other side of the garage. either way it usually results in explosive ruptures bc there's been no strategizing on how to deal with it.

but yea, when there's inevitable landoscar feuding then fandom will divide even more and those of us who don't favor one over the other will probably have to refine who we follow. but honestly, there's way more of us who are okay with the web weaving that drama brings or who don't take it that seriously ! I'm personally both. ultimately I love exploring a relationship's complexity and reality - and I loOOOove seeing what fic authors do with it. (charlos has never once been less compelling to me even when their literal families were feuding like their relationship is so elizabethan it made complete dramatic sense slfgasjlfg)

and the inevitable question of how any given scenario would affect them long term (and as for the 2025 WDC bear in mind that as I've said, Oscar fans have just as much a claim to think that him wait in reserve after F2 watching friends get a seat before him and the massive hate he faced for years when he finally did get a seat has earned him the WDC first as Lando fans think him staying with McLaren loyally for so long through the toughest times means he's earned it first) as in would this be something they would hold resentment for for a long time, I'm like oh yea we literally will not know until enough time has past so why buy trouble now ??

Carlos has pissed Lando off enough for Lando to look daggers at him and storm away from him in the media pen in front of every media outlet, Lando ran the gauntlet of choosing his own success and need to prioritize himself over his image as bubbly friendly bromance with Daniel, and Lando has said that he's questioned everything good he's thought about Max's character during the ferocity of the WDC battle with him. and literally look at all of them!! right back to giggles and fun and friendship within days or weeks. and those are just the fights that we saw publicly - guarantee they've had more difficulties privately but again, it all comes good !

and Oscar has always been able to have tense, close battles with friends and keep things good and wholesome with them: Logan and Max F in particular! and while F2 and F3 are not a WDC battle, considering Oscar and Max financially had no idea how to progress it's pretty gd high stakes to want to win so that you can have a shot at F1 at all.

and with how much everyone wants Lando and Oscar to NOT be friends and NOT like each other I'm sorry but ?? Lando doesn't hide it when he isn't interested in someone let alone someone he doesn't care about. Oscar is exactly the same. if all this giggling and weird synchronization and spending time together outside work and collaboration with each other and "we'll grow old together" was actually just cold, empty race-focus with no friendship then it could easily be done in a 2024 Alpine way of having them do the PR entirely separately. bromances are not the priority fandom thinks they are lasgfjlagf these teams want championships they do not care if fans find their drivers cute together or think they're best friends. McLaren especially has dropped most of their well oiled PR machine after Daniel and the ten minute challenge videos and half hour recaps are all gone anyway. and what's so funny about that dinner story recently is that McLaren has a unique situation where outside of actually running the car, the two garages have a complete open door policy. both of the boys said they have identical wants for the car. and if Lando and Oscar didn't like each other, they could just end that policy and they'd have dinner at least at different restaurants and at LEAST in any of the many empty tables instead of right next to each other aslfgjasfgjlas. that was literally two drivers' teams debriefing so that they can just lean over and collaborate.

Lando and Oscar wouldn't come together in parc ferme - even after Hungary - to check in and debrief if they were blah about each other or disliked each other. they wouldn't learn each other and say things like "I know Oscar will answer like this so for the game I need to do the opposite" and Oscar wouldn't watch Lando closely to help him find the right words to the point where it's Their Thing. Oscar wouldn't change out his salmon for ham and adoringly let Lando "bully" him and have his way and Lando wouldn't wriggle and smile and wrinkle his nose over Oscar being awkward on camera. Lando wouldn't have said he was disappointed that Oscar didn't share a hobby with him like Carlos and Daniel do/did and Oscar wouldn't have taken up padel right after.

they have zero incentive to lie, Oscar sees no point in lying, and Lando is unable to lie.

so I'm sorry but I've run it all thru p thoroughly and this theory that they're a tinder box ready to blow up in flames doesn't fit them to me ?? I think it'll just be coldness and distance until they calm down and are able to work together again.

OH MY GOD I'LL SHUT UP but yea I'm fully prepared for periods of tension and stress and lots of oh god they're NOT happy w each other and not even trying to hide it. but I don't foresee it as being relationship-ending. I personally see it as things they'll talk about in the future as all part of their story together as "the strongest" teammate pairing and one of the longest running pairings, as they're calling it now and tbh I'm taking that from what they've said themselves and not just my crazy ahh <3

THIS WAS SO INSANE BUT ANON DID IT HELP??

Pros of having Twitter

-Uhm. Scratches head. Hm.

Pros of Tumblr:

I can reblog smth as much as I please to let people who follow me know I went insane over something a little

I don’t have to see the suggested tags of ‘Dandy’s Proship World’ and worse as the top tags whenever I’m just trying to tag my silly ReflectiveDetective art

I can just make 10 paragraphs of rambling text about my current blorbos and hyperfixations without having to make a thread that nobody will see that has 34 pages

Time for an old school blog post, Hello!

Just various updates about life and shows and clothes and some photos! Adding a read more cut because I talk too much 😊

Happy equinox everyone!! The mild weather has been wonderful for daily park walks. We have been taking our meals outside as often as we can to make the most of it before summer scorches the land and all life. The longer days allow for a lot more wandering too but the imminent return of the heat is also making the longing to move up north worse by the day. We miss the choppy ocean and seaside cliffs 😭 We love the silence and the rain and the nippy sea breeze!! it's like being suspended in early spring for half the year and a rainy autumn the other half, Ideal if you don't mind humidity, but that's what wellies and flat caps are for. We have been looking for properties to rent to show up everyday so for now we lie in wait.

Speaking of nature, a few months ago we discovered a free app called Plantnet that you use to take and upload photos of plants, trees, flowers and it will identify them for you. You keep a log with their locations and can share them too to help contribute to each local biodiversity database. It feels like a pokedex for plants. There are many apps like this one to choose from too. It's been so fun learning what all these plants are called and memorizing them! I recommend it, is like a little educational side quest to take on while stretching your legs and getting some fresh air. This is not an ad I promise lmao I just think it's neat! kind of sad feeling the need to clarify that.

This weather is also making me want to start making outfit posts again! It's been so long since I made any!! my winter wardrobe is mostly long wool coats or capes and boots so the inspiration wasn't there but now I'm ready to pull out all my stuff back from under my bed storage and experiment again 👏 I've also been meaning to share some of Nicolas outfits for ages too so there is more variety, could be fun!

Speaking of clothes, lately I've grown more and more frustrated with how poorly most clothes fit me to the point where I'm considering learning how to make them from scratch. I usually have to take in the tops and hem the bottoms but most things I try on are just built weird even if I fix the size, or maybe I'm built weird! I think it may be both. Nicolas also said he would love to learn along with me so we will probably embark on that adventure soon. OH and on a short tangent, I got myself a sort of binder-like top that flattens the chest a bit and I'm loving it! I'm very flat already but what little bust I do have has always bothered me when I dress and I've found I feel a lot more comfortable in this type of top. I'm glad I tried it out so if you feel similarly you may want to give it a go too, see how it feels!

On the media side of things we have also been watching more of David Tennant's work. We are still very much in love with him to an embarrassing degree, you can probably tell if you follow me anywhere, my likes on twitter alone give me away alksjdf and Nicolas isn't any better! if he used social media his would look the same lmao.

Since my last report we have watched and absolutely LOVED "There She Goes" we already want to watch it again honestly. The family dynamics for all his characters are always so real and refreshing!! Their relationship with their wives especially are always so believable in every series we've seen, the comfort and camaraderie, the banter and just friendship! You can tell they enjoy each other's company, it feels true. I love it so much!!

We also watched "Inside man" which was..a very stressful mess but David was incredible as always, also very hot and very pitiful which is always great, and Stanley Tucci was on it! so that's also fun.

Then we rewatched season one of Good Omens and the first 4 seasons of Doctor Who, with all the extra content like the Confidentials, deleted scenes, video diaries and more, they are just so good!! our list of favourite episodes keeps growing, season four is incredible, we are loving all these seasons even more the second time around!! Now we are probably going to start watching either Classic Who or Torchwood, along with more of David's work. We were trying to pick what to watch during dinner the other day and Nicolas was like 'damn, David is not in this though, I miss him' and lmao same so now we just watch one show without him and one with him right after to cope 😂

OH we have also been doing more historical reenactment! Since the last one in the 20's we jumped back to Regency times. We have been putting our outfits together for a ball soon and hopefully another one in autumn in the UK 😊 1800 is the farthest back in time we've been yet so it's been fun doing research, finding pieces and learning the dances in class but also very hectic. I'll share more about this soon!

Then we also have a couple of 1900 events coming soon, so I'll be sharing more Edwardian looks as well, our favourite era!!

Anyway I think that's all for now, thanks for reading to whoever is doing so!! I know this is long and not a popular blogging format anymore but I enjoy it a lot, maybe some of you do too 🥰 I will reply to some messages soon, I'm so sorry I'm so bad at keeping up with those!! I've read them all and cherish every word 🥺 Thank you for supporting my art and shenanigans as always!! I hope you have a great week!!

Do you ever just get so bored you make a whole Alt design on the spot ...

I drew her nakey too so I could reference her markings if I ever needed. She got the pants built into her bro

[expectiations]

Thinking of how "left me like a book on a shelf" is from River's POV and therefore does not mean it is the entirety of the story much like how "the Doctor does not and has never loved me" was uttered from a River who was grieving.

Like the Doctor could have spent a long time putting the TARDIS in stationary orbit around the Library. The Doctor could have puttered about with the Library from years before it was shut down to ensure that everything would go smoothly while doing his best not to change a single thing. And on days when it is too hard, he just stares at the Library from his perch on the TARDIS door. Waiting, hoping, thinking. Trying to find a way out for her. For them.

And he does!

He finds a hundred ways to get her out of the data core. But...something always goes wrong. It's somehow never good enough. She's back, but she's not entirely there.

So he scratches it out, slaps himself, and tries again.

And again.

And again.

But his plans always fail.

But they don't. Not really. His plans could work. Could have worked. His beloved Sexy would help him. She'd always help him when it comes to her Water. But he was too scared. Too frightened of failure. Because one single mistake. One. Single. Mistake. And she's gone. He can never get her back. Forever.

So he runs. And runs. And runs. Until centuries has gone by and companion come and gone. Until he met a younger, more alive version of her. And then they had Darillium. And oh the joys of wonderful joys, what a night that was.

But things end. Even for him. They had to part ways again. Had to say goodbye. So he tries again. Picks up what his previous self had shelved. He tries. Oh how he tries.

But still. That fear exists. Is it worth it? Can he finally accomplish what he'd started a literal lifetime ago?

(He doesn't.)

Off on another lifetime with a new body. He's a...she now? Oh and shorter! Wow. That's new! I wonder what Ri–

On the rare moments she allows herself to succumb to sleep she goes to their his her study. She takes a moment to take everything in. It's unrecognizable now – the study that once was theirs filled with warmth and laughter and-

Every single space was taken. Covered by plans of plans of plans spanning...two...lifetimes now. Sexy still kept it just as it was the last time he she had been in there.

Their His Her favorite throw was still where it was – on their his her favorite corner of their his her favorite couch.

Nothing had changed but everything had changed.

She curled up and buried her face hoping it would still smell of her (It did. They never knew how it worked but somehow her smell still lingered anyway. They thought they were hallucinating at first but other people had been able to smell it too. Sometimes they forget but Sexy also lost her too).

She was a he again. The same face they had four lifetimes ago. The same face who was the first to keep the memory of their meeting.

But wh- what? Why? How? Is this it? Is this the body that finally brings her back home? A fitting act really. He put her in there and so he'll also put her out of there.

But... she wasn't there. Nothing was there. Nothing but chunks of debris and ashes and smelted...somethings.

When he blinked his eyes open (when had he closed them?), Donna's worried face greeted him. He blinked again and blinked. Nothing changed. Everything has changed. He had waited for far too long. He had made her wait for far. too. long. He feared of failing her but now he actually has failed her.

Everything was bland now. Was it just him or is everything a bit...on the side of grey? Donna looks at him like he might break. (He won't. He's a Time Lord. Time Lords don't break.) Even Sylvia had taken to treating him a bit more kindly.

He goes off alone with Sexy. His return to the Noble-Temple (Temple-Noble) household becomes fewer and further in between. One day he finds himself in Venice. Wonderful Venice. His Pond and her Roman (who wasn't yet a Roman) had gone here. There were vampires. And running and –

River?

No silly. River wasn't there.

He blinked. And blinked again. Made sure the sky was blue and the clouds still fluffy white. But was that his leather jacket that just whizzed by past him? Wait. Hold on. That was... Was that? Oh no. It wasn't. It couldn't be. Did they? No. They couldn't have.

But of course, apparently they did. Because that was actually his leather jacket wearing self that just passed by him again(?) tugging along his very-much-not-dead wife along running from... Hold on. Why are they running? What- Who's shooting at her?!

GUESS WHO IS ACTUALLY ABLE TO FINISH SOMETHING

You know, the reason why I'm sceptical over communities on Tumblr is because I think the issue is not how it was lacking in a community feature but how there seems to be a lack of a community mindframe for a lot of the userbase. There's only so much you can do when a lot of people have devolved into only ever using likes rather than actually getting in touch with others -- and there's only so much conversation you can withstand when every new addition equates to reblogging a post in full and potentially annoying your followers with "walls of text" (since, let's be real, this isn't a text-forward website)...

[rustyrailways]

So sorry for the inactivity guys!! My dad had to have an emergency amputation so I've had to move home for a bit to help him adjust and also I died again (slight exaggeration, my heart just stopped temporarily during a seizure because epilepsy is a bitCH, it's all fine now dw). But things are much better than they were so hopefully I'll be more active!

Please take this 20 second (quite literally. It was timed) Jayce i did on a train journey as an apology <3 This is him at around 17-19, post growth spurt in a modern au in my head :]

Apex predator Time Lords au feat. Ten, Rose, and Nine. Made with @transgenderdoctorwhomst ages ago for giggles.

Time Lords evolved to feed off of psychic energy of a sort, but in a way only accessible through physically eating.

This was not such a problem on Gallifrey, where most species had some amount of latent psychic energy, and livestock were bred for this purpose. In fact, being around a large amount of highly psychic beings, especially other Time Lords, could stave off the necessity of consuming psychic energy!

Still, when travelling to other worlds, the primary source of said energy was other sapient beings, and even the livestock on Gallifrey was much more intelligent than earth animals. Due to the psychic energy they were bred for.

...and then the Doctor blew up Gallifrey.

Listening to music made me think of the relationship between my girlies Sasha and Powder.

Their situationship is kinda interesting, because Powder just started flirting with this random Mynah for funnies and she up made this cool persona in hopes to get praise and admiration from her. Then got legitimately attached to her, and she feels hurt about the fact that she keeps her at arm's length, as well as the fact that her lies are falling apart and fears what Sasha will think about her real self.

Meanwhile Sasha at first found her annoying, then very endearing as they interacted more and Powder's dorkiness came to light from time to time. However, she knows she's hiding things from her, and due to very bad past experiences with Star units she doesn't feel comfortable being truly vulnerable with her.
