Not to sound like a gatekeeper or a boomer or whatever, But the whole entire social media intense marketing environment clip creation and The whole entire "new to (Doctor )who" YouTube shorts/tiktok series Pisses me the fuck off because, unless you're from the UK, you should not discover Doctor who not through intense marketing and shiny adverts etc et cetera.... You should discover it at a low point in your life and randomly on some regard. In the fact that they've cut out certain information from these little videos that is cannon in the actual show.... Fucking sets my teeth on edge.

Doctor who is supposed to be a show for freaks by freaks starring freaks and have no shiny grandeur behind it. Stop trying to get normies involved. Fr.

#personal #doctor who #marketing stratergies #disney plus #british broadcasting corporation #yeah #dr who #just stop #stop marvelfying british sci fi you cretins #keep it wild #keep it real #if i see one more influencer with the paid promotion tag trying to market the show im making it personal

Okay, I've at least got my portfolio on Cara! Honestly the more I use this site the more I like it, I hope it gains traction because it really is very nice. I will be posting many more arts tomorrow, so if you'd like to avoid spam, I'll totally just update this post when I'm finished uploading (god help the followers already on there), and you can follow me on Cara if you'd like! ❤️

But yeah, it's hella cute! If you like arts, you should check it out! :)

#cara artists #no ai art #artists on tumblr #digital artist #star trek artist #fantasy artist #fantasy #sci fi artist #freelance illustrator #its a really cute site so Im super open to posting there #this isn't me switching from other sites - but as a personal place to keep my art it's like SUPER cute #feels more artsy - and Im loving all the artists there #I kinda like it more than bluesky - mostly cause bluesky was always a twitter alternative and I never liked twitter #ill be posting here as usual regardless #so no worries either way!

fake dilemma: love this professor's work and he doesn’t take defense funding but he writes bad, published military sci fi in his free time

#im not sure if this is doxxable #i can't make small talk w him abt this and i don’t remember if my personal statement had references to sci fi

Me, a person who's written hundreds of thousands of words of a physics and sci-fi adjacent fic, reading a physics driven sci-fi book (The Three-Body Problem): Oh shit this book slaps

#im like a quarter into the book and loving #love the pieces of physics coming together (or not!) to slowly reveal whats going on #did i like learning physics in school? not particularly #do i like them as a driving narrative force? turns out i do!!! extremely!#idk how it took me this long to realize ''oh hey I'm a sci fi person''#the evidence has been right in front of my nose The Whole Time #book club

Remembering how someone once brushed off the criticism of v5 being mostly in a single room by saying "most sitcoms take place in a single room!" as if Remnant isn't an entirely new world with unique landscapes and cultures that should be explored

#rwde #the disgrace of using friends and bb9 to back up this dumb argument as if nyc isnt one of the most popular places for stories to take place #it can happen in one room bc the outside is FAMILIAR #you can glaze over things bc most people already get the gist. dont waste everyones time describing the familiar #but when the setting is so far beyond our normal - typical of fantasy and sci fi - then you absolutely NEED to go outside and touch grass #or martian dirt or radiation resistant plastic or whatever #can you imagine if star wars had taken place almost entirely in one room?#thats how stupid this claim is #i know im being petty but life is v ugh rn so whatever #tis harmless whinging #and more shock that people can excuse literally anything in this show #i know i take some shows personally but i cant imagine going this hard for anything

What's ttrpgs?

I just stared at my screen like this

#i. don't know how to explain them when people actually ask but they're basically pen and paper roleplaying games where you make up a #character and you write down their info on a sheet of paper and then (most of the time) you use dice to determine how their actions go but #that's just in most of the campaigns I have ever played in #oh yeah !!! so campaigns are like long running versions of the adventures you play in as these characters and one shots are one off #adventures !!! the most notable ones are in the fantasy genre (like D&D and Pathfinder) but they can exist for any genre (modern fantasy)#and sci fi #within existing fictional universes with examples such as the Star Wars TTRPGs and the Alien RPG which are #less known :( the actual acronym stands for Table-Top Roleplaying Games ! I probably should have told you that at the beginning hehehehhe #my personal favorites are D&D #you also use 6 polyhedral dice for the games #sorry i started yapping so much im autistic and this is one of my special interests so I'm really passionate about this #if this still doesn't make sense please tell me so i can explain it more cohesively

book 5 of the year done!!!! im literally one book away from halfway to my goal and the first month of the year isn't even over yet fjsksk i am DEFINITELY going to hit it this year!

#SUUUUPER bummed to say tho that ive made it to the first book of the year i havent enjoyed :/#the worst part is — its the first in a series apparently and like. i WANT to know what happens next #but also i dont CARE enough to want to keep reading the rest of the series yknow?#like. this first book was just SOOOO disjointed #it was ALL exposition #it spent 500 pages giving individual backstories for each of the characters. as in each character l i t e r a l l y told their story #which first of all absolutely BORING way to get to know your characters and second of all NONE od these characters were even likeable!!!#and the worldbuilding was just. weird. it kind of didnt make sense and felt all over the place #and FULLY felt like he was just throwing random sci-fi-y words around to make it sound cooler but like. it wasnt.#and like all these characters are together on this pilgrimage right #but it is NEVER really revealed why/what they plan to do when they get to their end destination/anything like that #and im between each of these character backstories it feels like the same stuff one person is like oh wow what a story lets get some sleep #and then they do and they wake up and they do the tiniest bit of traveling #(which is like. described in the most lackluster barebones way) and then they eat and share another story and rinse and repeat #it was SO boring #it honestly reminded me of the movie the eternals LMAO #all these characters and you get to know a little about them but not enoguh to become invested and none of them are all that interesting #and the purpose of their journey/the purpose of THEM is completely unknown is completely devoid #like it felt like there was no plot #it was. ough not good.#so yeah would NOT recommend hyperion by dan simmons :/#mack reads

im watching an episode of star trek TOS and the main plot is abt a boy "born outside of human society" and he doesn't understand social cues and is very direct and it's SO FUNNY bc the show will be like

boy: misinterprets situation

crewmate: gets uncomfortable

boy: gets upset

background music: SWELLING IN OMINOUS HORROR

#SCI FI MONSTER OF THE WEEK: A U T I S M #Im rly enjoying tos tho #star trek #personal

>read book by man hailed as the best spec fic writer working today

>its mid

>express confusion that it is so well known on reddit

>"oh dude thats his worst book, read this one instead"

>read it

>its worse

#zeke.txt #i dont want to DNF it so im powering thru #but just. man.#let it never be said that anti arab sentiment in sff is limited to dune esque works btw lmao #hard sci fi frequently tries and fails to illustrate a World of Cultural Diversity #and one of the ways it often fails is by including saudis who are religious fundamentalists and rich and anti western #and also on the moon #the fact that the sort of person who joins a terraforming project might not also be the one engaged in holy war against the west #is. rarely discussed. lets say

weekend melancholy is starting to kick in >~<

#im gonna go and do my food shop etc to keep myself busy and hopefully my 2nd meds will kick in and we'll be able to handle it together #i think i kind of do this so regularly bc my brain is just processing everything bc i dont rly have time during the week #all cool tho im doing good overall def on the up n i feel way more capable of coping emotionally which is nice. i <3 meds #also.. possibly settling on the idea that i might be agender. very tentatively. lots of experiences n thoughts coming together rn #ive been reacting in unexpected ways to a lot of gendered shit atm which has made me reconsider the way i think abt myself #but very difficult to articulate it to myself let alone anyone else. so ive been sitting with it for now until it precipitates #gender stuff has never rly affected me much or ive never been in a place to explore it which is why i havent thought abt it super hard #but im not the sort of person who needs a lot of internal exploration to figure out my identity like im v self aware tbh #and while im wildly indecisive abt most things in my life for some reason i never have been abt stuff like this. i learned abt lesbianism #like idk 9 years ago-ish and straight away was like yeah that makes sense for me. never looked back since #n similarly ive experienced forms of gender dysphoria before n just immediately dealt with it symptomatically n moved on #its never been smth to agonise abt for me like i know what makes me comfortable in my skin so theres no question abt doing it #and ik im privileged to be able to do that. and also it helps that gender for me is mostly divorced from external perceptions #+ that im v autistic so social pressures dont stick to me very well. i mean yeah i was bullied for it as a kid but i was stubborn asf #so yeah from the moment i realised i was genuinely uncomfortable/upset abt it earlier this week i was like okay. lets try this instead #its given me pretty instant relief from any distress i was feeling so far which is nice. rare respite from one of my torture labyrinths #just testing out internally whether it frames things more clearly n makes me feel more myself/at peace before i choose to stick w the idea #but not gonna do a whole coming out fanfare either way. dont think i wanna change how ppl interact w me + im still a dyke #so i dont consider it relevant to anyone else unless they share a similar understanding of gender to me. or if we're v close #ill prolly broach it w other trans friends eventually bc insert philosophers talking image. but to everyone else its business as usual #happy to play my cis-sona at work. + w new queer ppl i meet ive been introducing myself recently w mirrored pronouns instead of any/all #and i think i prefer that. virtually indistinguishable but theres smth nice abt inviting ppl to recognise me the way they do themselves #like translating + localising a non-gendered language into a gendered one... simplifying decisions abt how to perceive me #and ofc ppl are still gonna perceive me however but idc much unless we're actually friends. the rest is all a performance anyway #doubtful anyone on here ever has reason to refer to me but if u do for some reason... im freeloading off ur pronouns now btw <3 #but yeahhh. much 2 think abt. i need to read more alien/ai sci fi.. non-human sentience has been such a comforting concept lately #but yea tldr i woke up one morning this week like damn im prolly agender but i have a full time job to go to rn so idc abt that #.diaries #okkkk my dex is kicking in im no longer on the verge of tears lets go get these groceries wooohoooo
