Who had the worst time aboard the TARDIS?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

#bad times: semis #vote tegan avenge peri #(sorry adric it probably is you but this is personal now)#okay for a justification #traumatic stuff happening to companions and them just rolling with it is how it goes in doctor who #even if they do choose to leave its not because they feel their trips in the tardis have been too horrifying for too long #its because they've found something they want to do more #or because they've always been trying to get home #this isn't a universal rule i can think of other people who left because they've had enough #but tegan's is probably the most notable to me #at the end of ressurection of the daleks #the doctor who story with the highest number of on screen deaths #she just goes nah this is too much i can't do this anymore #and its not just the last couple of days i've been fucking miserable for a while #and bails #(also this is after the heathrow business she's not been trying to get back for like 2 seasons now)#(also she had to deal with adric if anyone says adric had to deal with tegan its kill on sight #they are not the same thing adric constantly makes misogynistic comments towards tegan i don't care if she's mean back #like okay i think its in 4 to doomsday adric says she can't do something because she a girl #nyssa calls him out on this because its like her specialty and adric just goes oh i wasn't saying you couldn't do it nyssa #you don't really count as a girl #like tegan has a liscence to kill him in that moment imo)

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist

#this ^ isn't directed at any post in particular but instead a lot of comments ive seen. but now im gonna talk about other posts down here #and prefacing anything i put in the tags here with DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH #but the biggest post ive seen going around rn about moo deng being mistreated and the general quality of khao kheow zoo is questionable #claims that the enclosure is mostly concrete seem to be false from all the sources i can find #the concrete section looks like its specifically around the feeding area which fits zoo care guidelines which specify that the feeding area #be a surface that can be easily cleaned separate from the substrate and is a surface present in other zoos #the lack of deep water also seems to be purposeful? older videos of the same enclosure show deeper water areas #and looking back through the news every baby pygmy hippo announcement from every zoo i could find mentioned periods where the baby had to #learn to swim and was slowly introduced from shallow water to deeper water as time passed #this was also corroborated by fowlers zoo and wild animal medicine volume 8 which suggests keeping the mother dry and then slowly #introducing water as the baby grows as a potential best practice #damn im treating this like a paper now. anyway the negatives #there are absolutely things that strike me as bad eg. public access to the hippos and the way the keeper interacts with them #for the keeper stuff in particular i'd really like to see input from someone who has experience as a zookeeper with pygmy hippos #the public access is something that i def think the zoo could improve on and even older footage from years ago shows people sticking like #selfie sticks and shit off the side of the railings and right into the hippos faces #however again the zoo seems to be making efforts to curb visitor behavior which is tough when you go from having 800 visitors a day to #4000+ and you can't remodel the whole exhibit right then and there #all this to say! just do your own research and take somewhat inflammatory comments on the internet with a grain of salt #also just to make it clear im not making any sweeping statements on khao kheow or the treatment of moo deng im just summarizing what i foun #based on what's being said in the most popular post on the subject ive seen.#for the potential like three people who will read all this hi :) hope ur having a nice day

Not a horror movie, but SOMA is a really good game that could work for a heartbreaking Trigun AU. For an actual movie rec, Dark Water (2002) is a good one.

okay forgive me because i've seen the remake of dark water from 2005 n while i imagine there are some significant differences between iterations, i'm gonna say i get the gist of it, but.

so i realize i've never actually spoken at length about my own trigun college au over here and since the fic is in my drafts indefinitely this is WILDLY out of context but like. i never actually landed on a backstory for vash and knives, i figure that true to canon vash has a lot of holes in his memory and knives won't fill those in for him so this sort of thing wouldn't really come up in the story, and as far as vash is aware life might as well have started when rem adopted them

it's nicer than knowing, anyways

#ask to tag?#also i will not be elaborating on this thought because i Can't lmao i still haven't pinned major details for this au down #trigun #trigun anime #trigun fanart #vash #vash the stampede #knives millions #millions knives #hills and halls and meteors au #asks #anonymous #movie night with v #i've heard a lil about soma maybe one day i'll watch gameplay for it or smn....#DARK WATER (2005) REVIEW: i love Evil Ceiling Spots as a harbinger for bad things to come it's just like real life dhfgkhkj #this doodle doesn't really read well so i guess i'll just say: knives was Very committed to keeping vash safe when they were kids #and there was a point in time when that was very needed. things were Not Good and all they had was each other

as someone with lifelong chronic illnesses that have bailed me out of some awkward situations in my time, sometimes i feel the need to be like hey universe!!!! listen up!!!! i do NOT want to be rescued from this scenario by getting sick!!!! i mean you know i'll always be grateful for that one time with the midterms, i understand you're trying to be on my side here when you hit the eject button using a whole stick of dynamite, BUT NOT THIS TIME!! I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT BUT I'M GOOD!!

#I AM NOT REQUESTING EMERGENCY EVACUATION!! I DO NOT WISH TO EJECT FROM THE PLANE!#i know some chronically ill people really can't relate to this. like it is always a 100% bad experience for them to get sick #but i will say i had some conveniently timed hospitalizations when i was a kid #like i wasn't faking. i didn't engineer my blood oxygen level. it was just like the hand of god came down and said #actually this child should not have to go on that field trip with a teacher she doesn't really like #this seems like a good time for seven days in the pediatrics ward #and i was grateful the whole time :)#i have to substitute tomorrow in a room where a bunch of people tested covid positive this week and others refuse to mask #which is whatever but this happening WHILE there are other emotional things in my life makes me want to be clear #the symptoms

#i spent 3 days without electricity internet and mobile signal due to the attack #which isn't that bad comparing to those blackouts last year #but still #had panic attacks againg bc wasn't sure how long it would last #i could only go online for like 15 minutes at a location far from home #I'm so tired #i can't event die wtf #i really envy those who have hope #because I have none left #neither any reason to go on #they say if you have something worth living you can live through anything #must be nice #who even cares though #it's not important enough now isn't it lol

monster boyz thoughts...

#ok so. basically i woke up thinking about teeth & how he would show his love for red #bc 1. he can't talk & so he can't outright say he loves him but also.#2. neither of them really understand love or that what they feel for each other is love yk #so i was thinking. teeth probably always leaves the actual act of killing their prey to red or #at the very least. makes sure red is watching when it dies bc he knows that's like... uh. he knows that's the ''important'' part to red #if that makes sense #also! i think the only reason teeth eats people is bc of red #if he hadn't met red i really don't think he would have survived all that long bc he's not particularly fast (bad leg)#& he's not particularly smart either. so he most likely would've gotten taken out by monster hunters if he was alone #though he is very strong so the hunters wouldn't have been left unscathed #& i think red wouldn't have survived all that long either bc he was never particularly careful about anything until he met teeth #he was doing increasingly risky & dangerous hunts bc he simply didn't care yk. but teeth gave him like. a reason to be careful & calculated #which just further proves they're bound by fate yk.#um. i also had some breakthroughs with teeth's origin story so. i maaaaayyyy work on those today. i might actually make red's finally #we'll see. i might end up drawing all day again. idk. n e way.#rainyrambles

Honestly I'm also not fully happy with what they did with Whis this book

#morningtalks #asc spoilers #Not like they gave Whistlepaw a lot of screentime at all despite how relevant WindClan was all of a sudden #(nooooo that had to go to Crowfeather. Not like he's got enough attention with TNP + PO3 + his super edition + deputyship + TBC #+ Changing Skies now too. Noooooooooooooooooooo we really can't have a single other cat in WindClan be important)#At least Whis had an excuse. Making Additional Content for another book that readers have to buy and be USELESS in that book #But Whistlebreeze?#Out of all the fun names you could've chosen. Whistlebreeze?#At least it's not Whistlepelt or Whistleheart #But really? Whistlebreeze?#I find it boring honestly #It's obviously a me thing. I'm obviously going to take Whis' name more seriously than most because I draw that damned cat Every Single Day #But there were so many possibilities for really poetic and pretty names #But they stuck with the simple option. Whistlebreeze #I obviously wanted Whistlebird #But with Ivypool's Therapy Session you could've made an argument for Whistlestorm #Even if it doesn't sound good at all. The two 't' s really don't make for a good name #But it would've been better than Whistlebreeze as far as I'm concerned #-breeze as a suffix can be cute and I like it but it has little to do with Whis aside from WindClan #Whistlebird neither but it sounds fun and has a rare suffix #Obviously Whistlefrost would've been hilarious #Heck. I just thought about Whistlecreek. Kinda odd but could be a more discrete hommage to Frostdawn as a RiverClan cat #(Frostdawn is a good name tho. Pissed she's back to being a healer but Frostdawn is good at least)#I also love the -berry suffix but with Berryheart just being a nuisance it would've been a very stupid decision here #But I'm just annoyed that they went with Whistlebreeze. It's boring. It's kinda pretty yeah but it adds nothing #It says ''Whis is a WindClan cat.''#Whistle- is a hard prefix to work with. The 't' and 'l' at the end makes it nearly impossible for a good amount of suffixes #Because they wouldn't sound good. (Any occlusive or lateral would've been horrendous. That's why Whistlelight sounds bad. Too many L's)#Whistlebreeze does sound nice at least but again it's bland and I am disappointed and really they could've done so much #With this name. Whistle is a difficult prefix but it offers so much poetic potential

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best #And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own #But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all #Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all #Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD #random rambles #FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.

*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*

No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.

#and no I didn't tag the solo series like I normally would because it's not about THAT. It's not about trying to get people to read it #It was just really ouchie to see the same concept I wrote 2 years ago get triple the notes in ONE MONTH.#and double the notes of my solo series masterlist in general in one month vs 2 years of my stories sitting there rotting #Then I see people saying they need more solo Eddie and I'm just here like my dudes I begged for requests. BEGGED. But bc I wasn't #/have never been a popular writer people don't want it from ME. It's like omg we want THIS but not like that. Not from you.#Can't help but let it get you down when nothing has changed in 2 years. It's not like I worked my way up and have the interaction now #that every other blog I used to commiserate with back in the day is getting currently. Fandom isn't a competition but it's not fair either #and I really struggle with that a lot of the time #Also yes I will concede I should be happy with the notes on the solo series because they are the highest of all the work on my page but #they're still nothing compared to what some people have just hours after posting a new story.#I saw someone complaining the other day that there are less new stories in the fandom than ever 1. That's simply not true. 2. Even if it wa #can you blame writers for giving up when readers are checking the same popular blogs over again or reading the same 5 tropes the same #2 pairings over and over. The same series? Over and over. Ignoring everything else and then complaining that their faves don't post enough?#That the popular writer with the incredible series (that rightfully deserves interaction) hasn't posted a new dad!eddie or rockstar!eddie #drabble in ages meanwhile there are writes out there pouring their souls into dad!eddie and no one reads it. There is so much rockstar Eddi #smut out there that it could sustain a brand new reader for an entire year before they needed a new fic #Idk man. I'm just feeling so defeated. I write for fun now. But there was a point in time where I desperately tried to build a platform by #offering requests and writing a lot of things I would not otherwise write to try and gain traction on my page and every time I see another #food fucking fic get hundreds of notes I get so sad that I wrote that stupid Melon fic because I had people in my life that told me #they would be excited to read it and for what? One of them still talks to me. The others moved on so fast. Most didn't even reblog it.#Some of them have since written their own food fucking fics that got triple the notes of my OG. Again. No shade to them. I don't own the #concept. It's just disheartening and fucking sad above all else. How hard I tried to get people to LIKE me and my stories. 😂#Just sad hours in general tonight my guys. Going to go and pour the bad feelings into Aftermath and then maybe make a bad life choice and #pour all my savings into an ipad #YES I KNOW first world problems. I know. That's why I try not to talk about it bc it seems so petty considering the state of the world #But you can't help what gets you down #EMMs Journal #EMM's Journal

Bruh, this is the third time i've been sick in the last 2 months. Viruses have to actually be targeting me at this point, cause this is just ridiculous (⊙_◎)

Like yeah I have a weaker immune system, but I'm literally not even going anywhere! I guess whatever traces my sister brings home from school (she's in HS) is enough. To make matters worse, my toddler brother is about to start pre-school. I sense so many more illnesses in my future O|￣|_

#i'm really excited he's starting school though #he's practically my kid so that adds to it #i guess this is kind of a vent? rant? idk #i'm just really irritated #especially since everyone else is usually fine #or if they do get sick they are better within a day or two #and i'm out for like a week #and also to find out that i can't even take dayquil/nyquil anymore without severe pain (i have been taking it my whole life)#yeah this is a rant #feel free to ignore #i just need to complain a bit😅#i'm also gonna take a covid test cause this sore throat is worse than normal #i've only had 4 things that made it this bad and covid is one of them #cheese says stuff #rant

what’s a fun fact about you that people may not guess

i am not anyone's idea of athletic. however since my social circle is like 90% other honors student orchestra losers, i technically qualify as a jock given that i have six years of experience playing field hockey

#i was a goalie though. jysk. lest you think i was actually running around like a fit person or something #sasha answers #infinitelytheheartexpands #i wasn't bad at it actually. though my 12th grade season was squandered by my fucking coach who never let me in varsity games #my team was shit and my teammates hated me. i don't think i ever had an unqualified Great experience playing with them.#by some miracle though i came out of it all actually enjoying field hockey as a sport #both as a player and a spectator #and to this day it's the only sport i've willingly gone to see professional matches of #and will actively sit down and watch the olympic matches of #though they don't often get broadcast here because field hockey in the us is not taken seriously and our teams rarely make the olympics lol #so if i want to watch i'd have to stream it online at odd times. like a netherlands or australian match or something #though the upside of the sport being kind of small in this country outside of specific regions (like where i grew up)#means that going to see literally the us national team play on their home turf is great. the crowd is modest it's not cramped or too loud #lots of fun. too bad they moved their home base though and are no longer in driving distance for us to attend games. oh well #my sister was always way more into field hockey than me. she played in college as a recruited athlete...i just played in high school #mostly cause i had to. but i still somehow enjoy the sport anyway #which i can't really say of any other major team sport #not the ones i've tried to play anyway

neurotypicals are so frustrating,, i keep forgetting that "can you do x" means "go do x"

#yesterday i was At Work #i opened alone (we are so fucking understaffed)#at like 945 (coworker came in at 10) these two women-#who until now have done NOTHING managery. they have walked around and talked to each other and asked questions #come up and in a pissy voice like um why hasn't group started #i say i'm the only one back here #'well can't you start ONE group?'#no...im the only one back here #'can you start individuals?' yeah i'll ask [host lead]#(annoyed voice) 'um why do you have to ask her?' because i'm not a lead so she's in charge?#(angry voice) well WE are GENERAL MANAGERS and we are TELLING YOU to do SOMETHING like START INDIVIDUALS #like. chill i am literally just some guy and i am the only guy back here #i also feel its worth noting that apparently since they caught me in the hallway they assumed i hadn't been doing anything #when in reality i hadnt sat down since i got to work. all i did was doing things. there is more to my job than Watch Dogs. especially when #im the only guy doing any of the anything #and i couldnt start individuals immediately because i had to do spot cleans. because i prioritized Not Letting Dogs Sit In Their Own Shit #before dog getting some playtime #like. yes i am a Lower Level Employee. yes i havent worked here that long. but i have worked here longer than you #and im gonna take a wild guess that i care about the dogs more than you #also worth noting that i got no breaks that day (if you work a 6+ hour shift you get a 30 and a 15 at my work)#so i sat down for a total of 5 minutes and that was to take a piss #for context. i worked 7 hours. 6:15am to 1:15pm.#so i have a Bad Feeling about these new general managers. really hope im wrong and this is a one-off thing but. ohhhhh boy

GUESS WHO JUST FUCKING FINISHED HOMESTUCK!!!!

#GOD #I can't actually belive i'm done #FINALLY #Like It was not at all what the internet had let me to belive #I was shock at how long it took for the trolls to show up I was led to belive they were like the main characters #Overall I have VERY mixed feelings about it #I don't want to say it's bad #I would actually say like 70% or so it's really enjoyable #But that 30% is so boooooooring and bad #Like ACT 6 for as many highs as it has it also has some incredibly low lows that almost made me give up #Like it got to a point where me not reading text and just going on from the images and random phrases stoped being an exception and started #to become the norm #AND I READ IT DURING THE DURATION OF THE WHOLE SUMER HOW THE HECK THERE'S PEOPLE WHO READ THROUGH IT IN UNDER A MONTH??#I don't regret reading through it but I doubt I will go for a second run anythime soon...#I also doubt I will read the epiloges or Homestuck2 #Maybe I will play the Friendsim/Pesterquest games one day since I've alredy played (and enjoyed) Hiveswap #Who knows #But for the time being I think im burned out on Homestuck

self care is unfollowing people who spread negativity on ur dash!! like Damn! yeah i theoretically Agree with your crit but i really Don't wanna see it either bc i want to Celebrate content instead of hyperfixating on the stuff i didn't like about it! yeet!!!

#jen rambles #i had someone call a SU fic i wrote once a 'fix it' and i'm just like #NO!!!#it was Not a fix it!#because a fix it would assume that i think i am Better and More Smart than the creators and that is hubris i really don't want #to take upon myself #i just like!! taking the elements i like and writing More of it!#that's all #i also feel like there's lots of people who just crumple when things in fiction aren't coherently explained #but i've always seen those holes as Opportunities?#idk like on one hand is leaving holes in your narrative bad writing? likely #but also the very soul of fan creation has Always been stepping alongside canon and re-imagining it #and oft filling those holes #and i just wish more people would join me in doing so in good faith to the source material #instead of doing it in that sort of 'ughhh so like since canon fucking sucks i'm fixing it :)' way #one day i'll prob Myself talk about the issues i had with the plotting of This Thing and you'll see tons of overlap with what #others are saying about it #but like idk. just why make that your sole focus? doesn't that bum other people out too?#like it kind of breaks my heart seeing people so fixated on the imperfections that they can't even enjoy what Was #i just don't get this mindset

probably not going to get to go to the prerelease but I want to put on the outfit I planned anyways and do my makeup but also it feels weird doing that while my mom is in the hospital but also it's not like there's anything I can do to help her

#the text i woke up to from my sibling abt calling 911 and her being in the hospital at like 3 am kinda felt like they were pissy at me bc #they were saying they called me a million times and yelled into my room and i didn't wake up but mother is really really sick #but tbh i don't feel guilty bc before i took my sleep meds at 1 am i literally asked her multiple times if she wanted me to call my older #brother or 911 so she could go to the er and she very firmly told me no. also tried to give her my nausea med and she said no to that #so i felt confident taking sleep meds and getting high af bc i was worried but also did literally everything in my power to help her #i had no way of knowing she would change her mind 2 hours after i went to sleep. and if i had been awake during that nothing would have been #different bc i can't drive either so like. idk man #i feel really bad for her but it's most likely just an attack of our rare genetic disease and she'll be totally fine in a couple days #im not happy but im not panicking #and there is literally nothing i can do to affect the situation in any way
