#(AND I WAS LIKE 'IT LOOKS AWESOME IN GOLD?????')

I feel like you guys are missing the point.
He's a 900+ year old Time Lord. He's living as much as he possibly can, and he feels like it's nowhere near enough, and far too much, all at the same time.
This SAME MAN, same face and all, is the person who said "Sometimes I think a Time Lord lives too long"
He's the man who, literally in his NEXT regeneration, spends a third of his series depressed because he can't find an ounce of joy in the universe himself and NEEDS humans to show around so he can catch a hint of it through them.
The Doctor even states that humans "look like giants" to him, specifically BECAUSE of the fact that they live so much in such a short time.
This isn't a show about an awesome, nigh-immortal time-traveling alien.
It's a show about the pains and soul-crushing responsibilities that come with time travel and immortality.
And, of course, you're all forgetting the glaring fact of this episode, entirely separate from the quotes you're so eagerly judging:
THE MAN THE DOCTOR IS TALKING TO HAS TO EAT PEOPLE TO STAY YOUNG.
He literally KILLS PEOPLE to survive. The Doctor, talking him out of eternal life, is not just doing so because "long life bad", he's doing so because "eating people to live forever is an awful way to be" as well.
You're also disregarding his point entirely in favor of giving bad-faith analysis of the show.
His point is that whether you have 10 years or 20, how you spend that time is what matters, not the amount of time you have to spend.
He has eternity, and it's not worth it. He knows it isn't, and he's trying to stop anyone else from making that mistake. He's living for so long, and has lived so much, but it just isn't worth it anymore.
Lucy Lacemaker, from Satellite City (or, more officially, The August Few: Amygdala, though she never says this in there) puts it very well:
"Billions of years we've been about. And life's not worth much once the rest is gone. You get bored of the wind and the birds and the sound of laughter and the smell of pine. Life is like a piece of paper. And the writing is our lives. Our stories. When you only have 90 years, the ink turns to gold. So valuable are the words, the days you live. Cause soon, the story will end. But what if you have a never-ending page? A bottomless inkwell? The more you write, the less it all means. That's our curse. We live so long that it's not even life anymore. We're not living forever, we're dying forever."
@another-normal-anomaly said that if they kicked ass for 80 years, got saved, and kicked ass another 80, that's twice as much as they would have done. But that's still only 160 years, and it reinforces the Doctor's point; it's not the time that matters, it's the person, because others may spend that 160 years doing nothing, and some may spend that 160 years doing everything.
But they would still only have 160 years. Not forever. What the Doctor is warning against is eternity. Eternity is pointless.
@dagny-hashtaggart said the show is hypocritical in it's transhumanist stance for featuring an "awesome, nigh-immortal, time-traveling alien", but that just tells me they've either never watched the show or they have and 100% missed the point of the character of the Doctor.
Because the Doctor is not happy with his long life. He's not content or pleased about it. He's miserable. The only worth he finds in it is giving other, shorter-lived life forms the pleasure of seeing things they never could otherwise, and protecting the lives of those more fragile than him because he, at his core, has two values above all others:
If it kills me, I can put an end to this opera of my life, and I can finally rest
If it doesn't kill me, it means I've stopped it and other, more meaningful lives will be spared.
The Doctor is not some happy, positive character. He's a victim of a tragedy, and that tragedy is, quite painfully obviously, the fact he lives so long. His lifespan, his regeneration, is a curse to him, not a blessing. The fact you can call the show hypocritical for that tells me you've never seen it, or you've never understood it.
@argumate made a crude joke about a man with a big dick, named after having a big dick, saying that life wasn't about having a big dick.
Well, fun fact. If your dick were, say, 14 inches, as a human (which is a real condition that has happened), you would have heart problems every time you got erect, be entirely unable to enjoy penetrative sex (aside from the heart problems, you'd be unable to get more than a small fraction of your length in without hurting them), and if you ever tried to get a little more out of it, you'd seriously injure your partner.
Not only that, but you'd have social problems as well. Try hiding the outline when your flaccid length still reaches down past your knee. You'd be a laughing stock early on, and if you had frequent erections (say during puberty, post-growth spurt, pre-calming of the hormones), you'd be unable to hide it no matter how hard you tried.
It would cause more issues than that, too, believe me. And yet you're saying if a man who suffered from all of these problems told you "it's not all fun and games, having a big dick", you'd mock him for not loving the "gift" he's been "blessed" with?
All of you missed the point of the show, the character, and even the point of the scene you're remarking on.
I expected better comprehension on this site.

Reckless Tides - Rafe x Pogue!Reader
Series Masterlist | Masterlist | Next Part
Arrival at the Edge â Introducing the new girl to the Outer Banks and the first glimpse of Rafe.
Warnings: drinking, drugs (weed)
The summer sun burned bright over the Outer Banks, casting shimmering waves of heat off the cracked boardwalk and setting the Atlantic Ocean ablaze with gold and turquoise hues. The island was alive with the chatter of tourists and the localsâ knowing glances, but to you, it was all new. You had officially arrived that evening with your stuff in the trailer connected to your truck, and a restless determination, the salty wind already tangling in your hair and filling your lungs with a sense of possibility.
You were a stranger here, yet something about the island felt familiar, as if it had been waiting for your arrival. You were quick to spot the dividing lines, the invisible borders between the shiny, whitewashed mansions of the Kooks and the weather-beaten shacks that stood defiant on the Pogue side. You knew where you belonged, at least in theory, but fitting in was never your strong suit, you also never really cared to.Â
You grew up on the mainland, raised by both parents alongside two older brothers and a younger sister. Your family was comfortably middle class, but when you compare it to the standard of "middle class" here, you realize it was closer to wealth. At 19, you received an inheritance from your grandmotherâa sum she left for you and your siblings when she passed. That money was your ticket to freedom, a chance to finally make a life for yourself, unbound by expectations.
Your parents had always held traditional dreams for you: doctor, lawyer, anything prestigious that would ensure success in their eyes, and money in your (their) pockets. But youâd always longed for something quieter, simplerâan artistâs life. They, however, pushed you toward careers that suited *their* ambitions. The moment that inheritance hit your account, you knew youâd be leaving your hometown behind, ready to carve out your own path.
Your parents both held steady jobs, enough to provide a roof over your heads, three meals a day, and clothing for you and your siblings. But as you got older, a darker reality surfaced. You learned your father had lost his job and, in desperation, turned to dangerous dealings with shady businessmen. Men who, one day, broke into your home, tying up your entire family and threatening your lives. The trauma left you shaken, but when you sought comfort, your mother dismissed it. She called you dramatic, telling you to get over it. That was when you learned sheâd known all along about your fatherâs choices, indifferent to the risks they brought to her children. You realized how greedy and dangerous your parents were. That day, your view of them shifted forever.
When you received your inheritance of $350,000, you immediately set off on a small trip to the Outer Banks. Your plan was simple: meet with a realtor, sign up for art classes at the local community college, and start fresh. You found a cozy one-bedroom house on what locals call the âCutâ and, feeling a sense of freedom, paid everything in full the same day. Before heading back home to pack up for good, you walked around your new property, getting a feel for the place. Thatâs when two people approachedâa bright-eyed girl and a boy who hung back slightly.Â
âHi! Iâm Kie, and this is JJ. You moving in?â she asked with a friendly smile, while JJ offered a shy nod from behind her. âHi, Iâm Y/N. Yeah, just bought it, actually,â you replied, feeling a little thrill saying the words out loud. âAwesome! We could use some more feminine energy around here,â Kie jokes, nudging JJ. âLooks like a bit of a fixer-upper. If you need help, just callâI donât have much else going on.â JJ smiled back at you, offering, âhappy to help whenever.âÂ
âThanks, Iâd appreciate that!â you replied, already feeling a sense of camaraderie.Â
Kie grinned and added, âWeâre heading to our friend John Bâs place now. He lives just down the road. If you wanna meet some more people, this is the spot.â
You hesitated, thinking of the five-hour drive ahead, but the invitation was tempting. âI have to head back soon, but Iâd love to meet them.â As you walked, Kie filled you in on their friend group: there was John B and Sarah, Pope and Cleo, and Kie and JJ, who were also a couple. You quickly realized youâd be the seventh wheel, but it didnât bother you. When you arrived at John Bâs, everyone welcomed you warmly. They were genuinely kind, and it wasnât long before you found yourself chatting with Sarah, who shared her backgroundâhow sheâd grown up in Figure 8, the wealthier side of town, but fell in love with John B and became a âPogue.â You tried to keep up with the talk of Figure 8 versus the Cut, Kooks versus Pogues, but the labels didnât mean much to you. You actually found it amusing how seriously some people took it.
âWelcome to the shark tank,â Kie said with a half-smile, tossing her keys to JJ as they loaded up the van with supplies for the evening. You all piled into the car. âIf youâre looking for peace, this isnât it.â You laughed, though the sound was rougher than youâd intended. âThatâs actually exactly what I was hoping for.â Kie raised an eyebrow, amused. âNot now, not since you decided to buy in the Cut.â The van wound along the narrow roads as the group eventually dropped you back at your new place. You all exchanged numbers, and John B called out, âHit us up when weâre officially neighbors!â
âDefinitely!â you replied, waving as they pulled away, excitement bubbling at the thought of your new life beginning.
â°ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ âââź
Two weeks later, everything is packed. You load the last box into the trailer hitched to your truck, grateful to have been able to take a few pieces of your grandmother's furniture with you. Just as youâre about to get in, your little sister runs up, hugging you tightly, begging you not to go. You wish you could bring her with you, away from the instability and your parents' disregard for the safety of their children. But like your brothers, youâre doing what you need toâgetting out. She has three more years before she can, too. Gently, you pry her off and turn to your parents, not even mustering a goodbye.Â
You arrive at your new place around 6:30, exhausted but excited. You begin unpacking, tackling the smaller boxes first, but when you see the larger furniture, you realize thereâs no way you can move it alone. You grab your phone, create a group chat with John B, Sarah, Pope, Cleo, Kie, and JJ, and send out a hopeful message. Within seconds, replies pour in:
You 7:15 PM: Help me unpack my furniture, and I'll supply the pizza?Â
JJ 7:16 PM: OH HELL YEAH
Kie 7:16 PM: Iâm down for some pizza
Sarah 7:16 PM: OMG yes!Â
John B 7:16 PM: Weâll be right over
Cleo 7:16 PM: Absolutely, girl!!
Pope 7:16 PM: Break my back in exchange for pizza⊠you got a deal
The whole crew arrives, and the guys have everything unloaded in record timeâexactly 40 minutes, coincidentally, the same time the delivery driver had said the pizza would arrive. When John B offers to cover the tip, you try to wave him off, but he insists, still catching his breath from the heavy lifting.Â
That night, you all settle out on the patio, surrounded by pizza boxes, beer cans, and laughter. Someone lights a joint, and itâs passed around, the evening settling into a warm haze of stories and new friendships.
The next day, you decide to explore the town and pick up a few things for your place. Youâre in and out of stores, tossing bags into your car before heading to the next spot. As you turn a corner, you suddenly bump into someone. Your hands shoot up instinctively and land on a firm chestâa chest that feels like itâs carved from stone. Your fingers graze across defined muscles, and you realize youâve just walked straight into a very fit stranger.
âOh, sorry, I really need to start paying more attention,â you say, looking up. The guy glances down at you, his blue eyes and dirty blond hair giving him an effortlessly rugged look. For a split second, he looks annoyed, but his expression softens as he takes you in. âNo need to apologize. I was the one not looking,â he says, a hint of a smile forming. You look over at his friend, a shorter guy with a gold tooth gleaming in the sunlight. âYeah, you can go ahead and blame it on âcountry clubâ over here,â his friend says with a chuckle. You glance down at your lunch bag, now crushed from the fall. âOh no,â you sigh, realizing your food is ruined. âI was starving, but I guess Iâll find something else around here.â
Rafe notices your disappointment and cocks his head, looking down at you. âNew around here?â he asks.âYep, first official full day in town. Just shopping for my place and totally forgot to eat. Do you know of any good spots around here?â He smiles, and his friend stands by, looking a bit out of place. âNameâs Rafe,â he says, extending a hand. âAnd Iâm Barry,â his friend chimes in, making sure heâs not left out. You shake Rafeâs hand, saying, âNice to meet you, Rafe. Iâm Y/N. Anyway, Iâll get out of your way,â you say with a smile and start to move around him. âWait!â Rafe calls after you. âMy friend here was just leaving, and I knocked your lunch out of your hand. Let me buy you another one.â Barry scoffs, starting to protest, but Rafe nudges him away, leaving the two of you alone. You laugh, waving a hand dismissively. âYou donât owe me anything; it was just an accident.â âMaybe, but Iâd like to,â he insists with a grin. You take a deep breath, trying to hide a smile, then give in with a nod. âAlright, fine, letâs go.â
Rafe suggests a little cafĂ© around the corner and insists you try his favorite, a turkey and Swiss sandwich. After ordering, he pays at the counter, and you find a cozy table by the window. For a moment, thereâs a comfortable silence as you people-watch, taking in the town's newness and Rafeâs quiet, unassuming company. "So, what brought you to the OBX?" Rafe finally asks, breaking the silence. You glance over, caught off guard by his curiosity but feeling oddly at ease with him. âHonestly? I needed an escape. I've always loved the beachâitâs the perfect landscape for painting. But mostly, I couldnât live close to my parents anymore. This place feels like a fresh start.â He nods, his expression softening. âSorry to hear that,â he says, then quickly pivots, maybe realizing heâs tiptoed into something heavy. âYou're an artist? Iâd love to see some of your work if you donât mind.â
Your eyes light up at the request. Scooting over to his side of the table, you pull out your phone and scroll through photos of your paintings. Heâs attentive, nodding and smiling as you explain each one. âThese oneâs sold,â you say, stopping at a set of six landscapes, âand this here is a self-portrait.â Rafe pauses, placing his hand over yours to stop you from swiping more as he studies the portrait. âThis oneâs beautiful,â he says softly, and you feel a blush warm your cheeks. Heâs so close, and the way heâs looking at you is like nothing youâve felt before. Just as heâs about to say something else, the counter calls out your order, breaking the moment.
While he grabs the food, you canât help but compare him to your last relationship. Jason had been your high school boyfriend, but he never supported your art or complimented your work, barely took you on dates, all he did was cheat as all of your friends hid it from your oblivious self. Then he took your virginity and left you. You were young dumb and in love. After the break up, you only had casual hookups and one night stands, you refused to let someone in like you did Jason. You felt small with Jason. Rafe, in only thirty minutes, made you feel seen and valued. How could someone feel so special so fast? He returns with the food, and you talk easily through lunchâabout his two sisters, his dadâs company he hopes to take over one day, your siblings, your plans for art classes, and the ways you want to make your little house feel like home. Everything flows naturally, like you've known him for years.
Afterward, he walks you back to your car. Your arm instinctively links through his, and you feel him tense at first before he relaxes. Heâs never shown intimate affection to anyone, or vice versa. Heâs never had anything serious. When you reach your car, you lean against it with a smile. âNot to sound like a stalker, but...where did you move in?â You laugh, charmed by his honesty. âOn the other side of the island. Itâs a cozy little one-bedroom. Youâre welcome anytime.â
He falters for a moment, processing this. Youâre on that side of the island? The Cut? He wonders. Sheâs a pogue? Youâre not a pogue, you're not anything, you're new to this island. But because you moved into the cut, unknowing of the meaning, thatâs instantly your title. He knows that too, but being the kook prince this is gonna be hard for him to explain to his friends. But he also didn't care, you were already starting to have him wrapped around your finger and he wanted to see more of you. Even as the realization hits him, he doesnât pull away. âIâd really like that,â he says. Then, gently, he lifts his hand to your cheek, his thumb brushing against your skin as he leans in close, your noses brushing against each other. But before he can close the distance, your phone rings. Startled, you glance down and see itâs your little sister calling.
âSorry,â you whisper, âitâs my sister, I gotta take this.â He gives a slight disappointing grin. âHey, Talia, just give me one sec ok.â You place the phone on mute. You signal for Rafeâs phone. âHere,â you say, adding your number to his contacts. âCall me anytime.â You stand on your toes to kiss his cheek, catching the faint blush that rises on his face. âI will,â he promises, stepping back, his gaze never leaving you. He starts to walk away but glances back, grinning. âSee you later, stalker!â you call after him, laughing as he shakes his head, a smile on his face.
â°ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ ââ âââź
After getting back home, you keep the call going with Talia, switching to FaceTime to give her a little tour of your new place. âWow, itâs so cute! I can't wait to come visit you!â Talia says, her face lighting up. You feel a lump in your throat, already missing her and wishing she didnât have to stay back home, dealing with everything you left behind. âI can't wait for you to be here, too,â you reply, voice soft. âIâm sorry I had to leave you there⊠but I promise, the next three years will fly by.â Talia gives you an encouraging smile, âIâll be okay. And by the time Iâm there, Iâll be right next door, driving you crazy.â You both laugh, exchange "I love yous," and say goodnight, but after the call ends, tears start to fall.
You step outside to sit on your front porch, needing fresh air to calm down. Pulling out a joint from your pocket, you light up, taking a slow inhale, letting the warmth settle in, even though the tears keep coming. You try to push them down when you feel your phone buzz with a text from Rafe. You answer, then he immediately calls, you smile despite yourself.Â
âCouldnât stay away, huh?â you tease, trying to keep your voice steady. But Rafe catches on. âYou okay? Whatâs going on?â You sigh, taking another drag before answering. âItâs just my sister...I miss her. Iâm still not used to being without her. I knew it would be hard but seeing her on the call, just made it all hit me.â Rafe falls silent for a moment, then lets out a small sigh. âYou know, youâre welcome to borrow one of mine,â he jokes, though thereâs warmth in his voice. âProbably wouldnât be as good, but maybe itâd help.â You laugh softly through your tears. âThank you, but Taliaâs pretty irreplaceable,â you say, and Rafe canât help but smile at your words, even if you canât see it. âI know you didnât plan on having to cheer me up, but thank you. This jointâs helping, but itâs mostly you.â Rafeâs quiet on the other end, almost like heâs holding his breath. âIâm glad to be of service. You said it earlier, but you can call me anytime. Iâd like to hear more of your voice,â he says softly. You pause, feeling warmth wash over you. Maybe it's the weed, but you can't believe how open you're being with him. Rafe waits patiently, literally biting his nails for a response.âIâd like that too. Goodnight, stalker.â He chuckles, seeming to enjoy the nickname. âGoodnight, new girl,â he replies, and you smile as you hang up.
As you walk back inside, the night has settled in completely, and the porch light casts a warm glow. You try to unpack, setting a few items in their places, but your mind keeps wandering back to Rafeâhis eyes, his smile, that dimple, his large arms, his easy laugh, the way he listened to you so carefully. Youâd promised yourself you wouldnât fall for anyone again, but with him, it feels different. And youâre not sure you mind. What you donât know is that Rafe feels the same way.

Events In The History And Of The Life Of Elvis Presley Today On The 10th Of November In 1971.
Elvis Presley Boston Gardens November 10th, In 1971 (8.30 pm) | Boston, MA.
Concert Date: November 10, 1971 (8.30 pm). Boston, MA. Boston Gardens
Concert Reviw From Rolling Stone : In Praise of Elvis Presley : By Jon Landau
He stands there in a black jump suit with gold spangles and an orange cape. When he stretches out his hands the cape forms a half sun under his outstretched arms and he looks like the true legend of rock 'n' roll. He parades in front of 15,000 people and waits for the applause to wash over him and it comes as it always does and as he knows it will. After strutting from one end of the stage to the other after waiting until he feels just right, and until the audience can't wait another second, he turns to a back-up musican who hands him his acoustic guitar. With the rhythm section churning, he stands in front of the mike, holds but does not play the guitar and sings, 'That's alright mama, that's alright for you, just any way you do'. It was his very first record and it doesn't sound quite the same as when he did it 17 years ago at the Sun studios in Memphis. But I am moved by the fact that he is doing it at all. Following a first half consisting of a wonderful performance by the Sweet Inspirations, a typically tasteless (but well received) attempt at humor on the part of a Las Vegas comedian, and an intermission, the offical Elvis Presley Tour MC called people back to their seats. rare b/w live candid photo's of Elvis Presley by Jon landau and fans audience members and a fans review of this awesome! show concert with the ticket as well.

#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhjy#kristen applebees#fh class quangle#sorcerer!kristen is uh. Not Home Anymore! she's been couch surfing along with jawbones before freshman year#I think this kinda falls into a slight teen-witch-esque approach which I do like#since I've been pulling from like. matilda and pippi longstocking for these designs. the Exceptional Little Girls kinda genre#it does make her look younger than her peers which I do like. I feel like a big part of sorcerer!kristen's deal is that she's never#taken seriously. frequently treated like she doesn't know what's good for her. fellow adhd havers make some noiseee#but! upon review I feel like there's also a kinda ms. frizzle turn to her design? which like. awesome thats the lesbianism nailed babeyy#the fuckoff giant thermos as arcane focus is a homage to pete conlan but also crucially#if you swing that thing by the cord I think you can take off someone's head easy. I think that's the important thing#her cargo shorts are not of holding but functionally Everything is in there. scrunchies pencils spare gold chapsticks paperclips multitools#tbh I personally love the progression in her design lol she starts out like ''oh this young girl is a bit unkempt'' and#becomes ''oh this person is insane'' by junior year which is really awesome imo. I love that#its just fig left! I mean her freshman year design is pretty much set for me. I just need to figure out the rest#gorgug is kinda aerith in junior year I wonder if I can softly turn fig tifa-ward lol... ooh I have ideas now. this is gonna be fun#but for now. enjoy evening! may we all make like lizard and enjoy sun

This looked hella fun. Hereâs all my answers and I hope yâall jump on this!
âšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâš
â„ From what DR are you answering?
đŠMy Dragon Riderâs Academy DR (something I made up and shifting to)
â„Your name in your DR? (and do you have any formal titles,ranks, positions,etc)
đŠMy name there is Maple. No formal titles, but I will be getting the title âQueenâ pretty soon over there due my s/o
â„Whatâs your favorite season?
đŠItâs a tie between summer where the academy is out and I have more free time, and winter because if Snowball (my bonded dragon) loving the snow
â„Whoâs your s/o?
đŠMy s/o is a lovely dragon man named Alexius (there is so much more to his name but weâll just say Alexius for now) and heâs basically the king of the place/the place Iâm attending the academy in this world. Heâs not just called Alexius tho, I call him instead âGoldieâ due to our first interaction and how heâs basically covered in gold via both jewelry and his scales.
â„Who is the first person you got to for advice?
đŠLawrence. A upperclassman unicorn friend who is very knowledgeable and wise even tho weâre just a year apart in age.
â„Signature Scent?
đŠIdk my smell? Iâve been told by Alexius itâs something like flowers and snow?? No clue other than that
â„First person you got to if youâre upset and need comfort?
đŠI either go to another one of my friends (some I canât say due to privacy reasons) or Alexius. Itâs either one of those two choices tho itâs usually the first one. The one who usually comforts me is a really sweet girl, love her.
â„Longest friendship?
đŠThat would be Chester, a human dude who I grew up with alongside a few others. Heâs probably the one Iâve had the longest friendship with and is practically a brother to me. Awesome dude
â„Favorite thing about yourself?
đŠMy audacity. I punched one of the vampire princes/nobles in the face. Hence it being my favorite (thereâs a story here I wonât get in to)
â„Age and are you in school? Job? What role do you have etc.
đŠI am 24 and yes Iâm in school called âDragon Riderâs Academyâ (thereâs a fancier name but I donât remember). This school is both a mixture of a magic school and kinda military academy I guess? So when I graduate Iâll become part of the forces called Dragon Riders. Our job is to obviously protect but also explore various uncharted places in this world. So Iâll be a soldier/explorer I guess at graduating. (Unless Alexius tries otherwise lol)
â„Favorite food/snack?
đŠNot really.
â„Best and Worst cook in your DR?
đŠThat is a tie for best cook is between Iâd say Lawrence and my roommate. Maybe Harriet as well? (Another friend of this DR) Worst cook is Alexius, itâs mostly a gut feeling but I donât want that man in a kitchen. Love him with all my heart, he will not touch my stove.
â„Whatâs the setting? (Year, environment youâre in, are you in a city or countryside etc, modern or past or futuristic)
đŠItâs very much a fantasy setting. Canât think of a way to describe it other than very high fantasy. Donât know the year but I do live in a large city due to the academy Iâm attending. Though there wasnât much difference between where I had lived before and the academy. Just different rules and rulers I guess?
â„Unique thing about your appearance?
đŠBasically Iâm a dhampir (half human/half vampire) and I think that makes my appearance pretty unique.
â„Siblings? Parents? Family in general? Who are they and what is their relation?
đŠNo siblings but I do have a mom and a dad. Not really much to say about them other than my mom is the vampire parent in this equation lol
âšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâš
đ»WOW THIS WAS HELLA FUN~!!
đ»Loved answering your questions and soft core loved being able to talk about my DR! Thanks for this~!đ
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR DR/DR SELF!!!
â„ HELLO â„
~I'm bored and wanna interact with people for some shifting inspo so heres a shit ton of questions for everyone to answer about their DRs :)
PSA: Idk how this usually works if you reblog with answers or reply but feel free to do literally anything with it lol. You can ask each other or me specific questions idk I just wanna get the community active đșđ»

listening to rqg 159 and alex describes how zolf would recognize wildeâs âeeerrghhhhh it has to do with touchy-feely emotionsâ face. yeh
#by god i will draw wilde looking like real oscar wilde.#rqg#bluebird.txt#look at my little doodle boy đ«”đŒ#i just like to draw wilde like real wilde cuz 1) REFERENCE PICTURES THANK FUCK#2) see 1 (i need to get better at drawing people consistently and it helps)#but 3) is the real reason and itâs that. fandom wilde does not look like oscar wilde almost at all#and that bothers me kinda#i mean letâs be honest alex probably couldâve made all these historical figures original npcs and the result wouldâve been the same#but he didnât! and everyone draws wilde really skinny and when you see pictures of real wilde itâs either that he was wearing a shit ton of#layers (which he probably was anyway yay 1800s)#but genuinely apart from that he does not look that skinny guysâŠâŠ#i donât actually have beef with anyone in particular about this and the fandom art is actually most of it is beautiful and awesome regardle#but it just bothers me#ANYWAAAYYYYSSSS âšâš if you got this far in my tags have a gold star sticker#iâm gonna go sing now#bluebirdâs art#rusty quill gaming#rqg wilde#i need to finish my drawing of cel and zolf at some point but damn drawing cel is kicking my ass so iâll come back to it#I WILL FINISH IT THOUGH THE IDEA FOR THIS DRAWING HAS BEEN 2+ YEARS IN THE MAKING

Deep Space Nine forced the mirror universe to evolve as a concept and explore the idea of inverting the characters on a more individualistic level and opening deeper questions of who each of us could have been if our lives turned out differently and Iâm tired of that being abandoned and ignored to cling to the familiarity of the Terran Empire.
#star trek deep space nine#star trek ds9#Star Trek#star trek tos#star trek discovery#star trek enterprise#mirrorverse#mirror universe#TNG mirror broken is literally just In A Mirror Darkly but again YAWN#the novels said what if mirror Ezri and leeta get married and are awesome lesbian rebels#but STO said what if mirror leeta was a generic imperial who just does all the tropes#prodigy I love you but the ISS Voyager A is lame#in my heart mirror voq and Sarek got away#Spock did not start the revolution for everyone to just ignore what he preached#itâs not an âevil universe#how did we allow a version of humanity to become a stock trek monoculture#the Terran rebellion embodies âbe better than what we are so hard and so many writers throw it away because writing Evil Wins is easier#more than what we are*#you get the point itâs more Star Trek than just oh well I guess some places are evil#annoyed that Burnham never found out that her mirror brother became a hero#Smiley is such a goddamn hero#is it because most TNG era Federation ships would have never been built and writers donât like not being able to do ISS versions of them#look I like gold paint to but câmon#I will accept the critique that DS9 doesnât when any agony booths

OH MY GOD A YEAR AGO TODAY .
#thats literally insane what do you mean that crazy day was last year. oh boy ok hastily thought up recap thought time#what that day included:#stupidly going out into july in los angeles heat that morning in jeans and a long sleeve black shirt#in that state of extreme sweatiness: meeting john l of tmbg fame. who id be seeing in concert that exact night#an insane story i have told before but nonetheless incredibly bonkers#later that day when i went out again i (also stupidly) wore sandals that cut up the back of my heels#i toughed it out later and put socks on and the russell brand of cdg high tops on and danced at the concert anyway#wore a full gold glitter suit. was still worried about being unnoticeable#i was too scareddddddd to talk to christi who i saw hanging around before the show which i regret#the best part of the concert and that trip to california was seeing it with my best friend who i finally met in person for that trip#he was dressed as ron and i of course was russ in the glitter suit. my hair did not turn out as magically russ as desired#what else. i was too ough before the concert to eat my combination lunch dinner of panda express something#but i did get overpriced fancy crackers and rosé at the hbowl which was my sparks dinner#ok now let me get to the show itself. i did a review the night of but lets see if there are any details i forgot that i can remember now#like right at the beginning of so may we start there was the audible sound of a glass breaking so awesome. someone was ready to get down#russell getting choked up talking abt their mom taking them to the hollywood bowl as kids i haven't stopped crying#oh yeah all the stupid people in the pool circle (front seats) who didn't care about seeing sparks. youre all going to hell#especially the people that left before the show ended#russell achieved some maximum awooga levels but i may have been picking up on those especially because of the rosé#russell saying to the audience in between singing all that how beautiful it looked with everyone turning the light on their phones#another thing i havent stopped crying over#also got a fun bootleg shirt specific to that show when walking back to the hotel. thank you slightly sketchy guy#that whole night and everything was bonkers insane and wonderful can i Please relive it now. please#like literally this time last year adjusting for time zone i was uhhhhh. probably injuring myself in those stupid sandals#and id do it again! well maybe not but id relive that day again#ok anyway. one year huh

First drawing. Drawing before the disaster
Second drawing. So basically, this drawing was the reason I decide color the drawing in digital, because you can see how King Orange is wearing the hoodie of his son and that the details that I love when I drawing
These two drawings are (kinda) screenshots redraw btw
Oh! I almost forgot this one!

She doesn't like you. Ever thought of that?'' ''yes. It did cross my mind. But then I thought:#Oh no no no she hangs around with you. Her standards must be pretty low.'' ashdgsgjshdhd this line is gold too I love Lewis#'':( are you naked again.''#It reminds me of eden-6's soundtrack in bl3#''b- both of you? ALL OF YOU????'' is so good#Also Rikki just committing a war crime at the pool party lmao#Let Rikki say fuck so she can say ''totally fucking awesome'' please#I moved on to episode 3 and rikma my beloved#The stilted exchange between Cleo and Byron gets me every time.

I come triumphantly back from a lengthy google to inform y'all the genius behind this is one Pat Mandziy, and he has a playlist called Gen Z Shakespeare (I think? that link should work--TikTok is a bastard with screen readers). If it doesn't, just look up his name, and you should see the playlist underneath. The Romeo!!!!!!! one!!!!!!!! is so good!!!!!!!!
this is targeted tumblr content
#was looking up something Shakespeare-related earlier and suddenly hit with a wave of frustrated nostalgia because like the gadfly I am#I'd seen some truly magnificent shit on the Ides of March and forgotten to put it in the queue#so I needed to go hunt up at least part of it at once (I'll find the other piece I want tomorrow) but this! oh this's so fucking good#the way slay. slay! keeps getting used and at first it's 'awesome' and then suddenly it goes quiet and bitter and you just have chills#down your spine because he's using the slang to cut! Brutus to ribbons with the way it's suddenly taking on this very different#'murdering bastard' connotation. and then! then there were just moments that made me#cackle#'the cringe we do in life' oh! oh that's _perfect use of slang just _perfect and I need y'all to know that Pat Mandziy is responsible for#this masterpiece!#tumblr gold

Yeah you could say my trip to the used book store was fruitful
#they had an awesome copy of le morte de arthur i didn't see until i was leaving and im gonna agonize over leaving it behind for like a week#it was a hardcover with gold leaf on the spine FUCK.#anyway. bought some good stuff.#they had a bunch of cool looking vintage manga but i decided just to get the Gundam one. the rest didn't quite strike my fancy#the Yaoi isn't vintage but i had been meaning to get a copy for a while and it's pretty pristine so. saved a few dollars there#and of course. the crown jewel of my trip. the sacred texts#it's so fucking funny. look at it. will he save the world... or DESTROY IT. the face my mom made when i showed it to her lmao#snow blogging

Scanning electron microscopy is awesome and I personally think the images it produces are gorgeous but objectively speaking I feel like it doesn't do any favors at all for the "scary" cultural image of insects, because I mean, here's a closeup of a carpet beetle in its true colors:
And here's an SEM image that comes up for carpet beetles on google:
And the thing about SEM images is that they aren't "photographs;" they are computer scans. They're 3-d digital models generated by scanning an object at the molecular level. Color is not preserved by this process, and if it were all the specimens would look like metal anyway (I'll explain this is in a moment), so images like this had to be colored artificially. This isn't done to recreate the true colors, but to make different body parts more visible as study material, resulting in scientific images of wacky blueberry fleas:
The subtly varying transparency levels of living tissues are completely lost as well, which is why the fine hairs of insects stand out more like cactus thorns in SEM imagery, and tardigrades look like opaque leathery things with no eyes:
...Even though a tardigrade actually has eyes, they're just under the surface of a crystal clear exoskeleton:
Another thing that probably contributes to the uncanniness of SEM images is also the fact that they can only show us embalmed corpses encased in liquid metal.
It's not possible to do this fine level of scanning "instantaneously" enough for it to work on anything that's still moving, so even when you see scanning electron images of animals in various lifelike poses, it's because they're preserved specimens that were carefully positioned, or they were live specimens basically "flash frozen" by a sudden dehydration process, mummified so fast they never knew it. Many specimens are then "sputter coated," meaning they're sprayed with a thin (like microns thin) layer of liquid gold, platinum or other fine metal in order for the electrons to perfectly bounce off of every subatomic detail and produce that perfect scan. So this is a live fruit fly:
And this is a fruit fly mummy with probably some sort of chrome plating:
