Doctor Who Television Review: The Web of Fear

Title:  The Web of Fear Story Number: 41 Season:  5 Screenwriter:  Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln Director:  Douglas Camfield Thoughts: The Web of Fear is a story that’s difficult to unstick from what followed it.  This is after all the first appearance of Nicholas Courtney as Colonel Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart.  At this point in Doctor Who, a story set roughly in the present day in Earth…

Today is Dungeons & Daddies’s 5th Anniversary!

I haven’t been listening for nearly that long but the podcast and all its characters means a lot to me. Happy Anniversary!!!

Throwing the cropped sections under the cut because there’s a lot of stuff going on and I know Tumblr likes to throw half the pixel quality out the window. And also so I can ramble a bit about this piece!!!

This piece has been months in the making, possibly an entire year. And by that I mean I’ve had a sketch of the comp scribbled on my whiteboard for ages because I wanted to save this specifically for 5th anni art. Now onto design stuff!

(First off a random thought: I really love how the garlic knot came out, I kind of want it as an enamel pin.)

I knew I wanted to make this a stained glass piece since the beginning, but I was also going to add flowers at one point but quickly dropped the idea. It felt like too much and I also didn’t want to fuss over flower language assignments for everyone. I was also going to add Doodler tentacles, but also dropped that idea pretty early. Kind of on accident, right at the end, I figured out how to make it even more stained glass-like but taking a duplicated lineart underneath the regular layer and turning the brightness all the way down, then setting it to overlay and adding a guassian blur. It’s very subtle but it adds that tiny bit of depth that makes it look more real. As for shading on the lineart/gold, I tried adding more highlight on the characters who died but once I evened everything out it wasn’t as noticeable anymore so I’m throwing that thought here so the attempt at least known lol.

The order of characters only changed a little bit from my original comp, I flipped the Wilsons and the Oaks so the rainbow could work. As for the anchors, specifically in season 2, I lined them up to the teens since the season 1 anchors lined up with each dad:

Tony —> Scary: his death was the beginning of Scary’s betrayal arc and also Willy killed him.

Guitar Pick —> Taylor: it’s not really aligned with Taylor at all, but the anchor was with Glenn so I put it next to his blunt.

Scroll —> Normal: was only because it was the last left to give him, but there’s the whole scene of him and Hermie in the Green Room so it still works!

Garlic Knot —> Link: one of two that he broke, but the more significant of the two with him telling Grant he never wants to see him again.

Small notes on the season 1 anchors: I put the layer of mold in the overnight oats but you can’t really tell with the overlay. And to make the supper bowl more interesting I added the fantasy sodas mix they dumped into it. The lure of actually drawn before so I just traced my own art lol.

As for the other smaller triangles, it took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to put there. I didn’t even think of adding the vehicles until two days ago but I’m so glad I did. I don’t really have my own take on the mascot version of the Doodler (yet?) so I borrowed the design from one of the stickers in their merch shop. Teeny was terrifying as just a front facing head so I made him cute again.

In the outer circles, I put what I felt was the most significant quotes for each family. I really wanted to use “It’s okay to be angry, it’s not okay to be cruel” but it was just a little too long.

That’s all I can think of! If you read all the way through, thank you for indulging me in my excitement to gush over this piece.

This is just shitpost but I kinda had to do it. So dndads characters as the weezer album covers

[heuheu-art]

I've really loved doing these character designs and would love to do more! Perhaps I'll draw the earlier generations or the spouses in the future.

[n0anix]

enjoyed this podcast very much (he is ignoring all the angst)

anyways, doodles

[salembehindbars]

When I say I like older men and dilfs, I mean, I am only into older men who aren’t into younger girls. I need an older man who doesn’t want me because the second he does, it will disgust me that he is an older man who is into younger women

(I dont know if that makes sense but that is how I feel)

[sanpape]

I noticed that Matt and Beth tend to (whether willingly or accidentally) create really well earned happy endings for their characters whereas Freddie and Will are really good at ending their characters on bittersweet, or even just straight up tragic notes in a way that feels incredibly fitting. If I had to put it succinctly I guess it'd be:

Matt and Beth's PCs and kin: The narrative feels inevitable but is excapable. You're out and you can heal.

Will's PCs and kin: The narrative is escapable, but not without changing you on a fundimental level. The choices you've made while escaping the narrative haunt you for life.

Freddie's PCs and kin: The narrative feels inevitable and is escapable, but it would require an incredible amount of introspection that this character simply isn't capable of.

In 1966, The Doctor (Doctor 2) and his companions were stuck on Earth as the TARDIS (his time/space machine) was trapped in a cosmic web. To make things even more difficult, an android Yeti had been reactivated along with the return of the Great Intelligence. This was where the Doctor first met (then Colonel) Lethbridge-Stewart. (According to the novel, this is the inspiration for the creation of UNIT). ("The Web of Fear", Doctor Who vlm 1, TV)

"I found a Swiss artist. Superb."

"Your engraver."

"Yes. Unfortunately, he is, uh, deceased."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that too. It's not your year, is it?"

"I shall miss him. I shall also miss you, Mr. Templar - but you see, I have no alternative but to let Carl and Maurice kill you."

"Well, I really am sorry to hear that."

fucked around with those instagram avatar stickers with dndads characters and made.... this.

[just-a-queer-dramatic-disaster]

It's just soul-crushing how in Dungeons and Daddies, technically a comedy podcast, practically the greatest execution of themes and representation of generational trauma in the history of medias, everyone's storyline resolve itself in the most fitting and tragic way possible, for some more than others.

There are those who get their "happy ending". Darryl, Lincoln, Ron, Terry Jr, they make the active choice of being happy, to love and be loved and renounce the fight.

On the other hand, Normal, Grant and Scary, at the "end" of the story they find a fight, the realisation that they need to change themselves and/or their perception of things to be happy and it's completely up to them. That's where Glenn failed and, one could argue, Sparrow too. That's somewhere Taylor and Lark will never arrive, because they enjoy the fight more than thinking about the consequences and for better and for worse they're okay where they're stucked.

And then there is Harry, our crunchy, munchy, hippie druid dad, who tried his best and made many mistakes, but never fucked up that badly to deserve his ending. Henry was just a man, not an eldritch entity nor a god, just a man, and a decent one. What to do when things go shit and is no one fault (Willy’s)? To share the stage of this cruel turn of events there is Nick/Nicholas/Nicky Close Foster Freeman Swift, fate's puppet, the martyr and no one's son, who wanted to go home and hadn't got such a thing. He never got a chance to start with. Would have he been a good father? What mark would he have left on his son? Would he have left anyway, in the end? Henry and Nick, they were both betrayed and left behind, one went to the woods of the plastic heavens, the other straight to hell. They were never in control. What does that mean? What's the moral if not that shit happens every day? The reason why they keep trying is very simple: that's all there is left. Love. Sometimes it's enough. Sometimes you have to make it enough.

Compilation of Anthony’s plans getting screwed by the party (Part Two here)

[mommaboyhalo]

The brain rot has gotten so bad. Here's some dungeons and daddies characters and what I think their favorite pop/soda would be.

S1 gang

Darryl: he don't fuck around about Dr pepper.

Henry: sparkling water. The occasional LaCroix. Says ginger ale is too sweet.

Glenn: look at this man. You cannot tell me he's not guzzling diet coke like it's his lifeline. He has at least one diet coke merch piece.

Ron: if asked his favorite is cherry Pepsi. His real favorite is crystal Pepsi and he is the only person who misses it.

Jodie: Starry. He insists it tastes nothing like sierra mist. He mixes Skittles in it like a fucked up boba.

Scam Likely/ Actually: actually thought scam was dying the first time scam drank a carbonated beverage. Cannot drink soda.

Walter: Dr pepper and thinks all soda is Dr pepper. Because Darryl would bring him a cup every time they ventured into the realms.

Paeden: thinks carbonation is icky but if he had to choose a flavor it would be coke.

S2 gang

Grant: drank so much monster in his youth he got kidney stones and now isn't allowed soda or energy drinks per Marco's request

Terry: strawberries and cream Dr pepper. Doesn't like actual Dr pepper but will drink this stuff till he gets a tummy ache abt it.

Lark: grape soda. That shit that tastes like purple? He loves it. Also don't leave him alone with sweet tea.

Sparrow: owns a soda stream and actually uses it. Doesn't flavor it at all tho. Sometimes put a lemon in for "flavor"

Nicky: Not much pop tastes good in the sweltering heat of hell but he is able to raid Glenn's fridge at any time. Which is stocked with an ungodly amount of diet coke. Not his favorite but he'll drink it.

Lincoln: also under the carbonation ban but he will fuck up a rootbeer if given the chance. He loves rootbeer floats.

Scary: Vanilla Coke. Wants a freaky amount of vanilla syrup added to it when they order from sonic.

Normal: Grape soda out of convenience. Hasn't tried much else but Lark has a stash of it in the basement. After a long day at school he'll go down and say "I need a drink, something strong" and be given a grape pop.

Taylor: Mountain Dew. Look at him. Look at him and tell me he wouldn't drink mountain dew out of a wine glass.

Hermie: Mountain Dew code red. But if given the chance he will carbonate straight Red-40 and drink it like water.

O-Dads

Willy: Crystal Pepsi. Thought about his first decree on the throne of god making it a thing again till he found out it was also Ron's favorite.

Bill: Coke but he thinks it's just a mixer for Jack Daniels and doesn't realize people drink just coke.

Barry: one time Bill let him have a cup of his coke and he threw up because he chugged it. Thinks all soda is poison and isn't convinced Bill didn't try to kill him.
