Me, an australian who has never seen nor stepped foot in America: My fellow Americans! I present to you:

MORE ESCAPISM ART! (i have a problem)

Without shading & filter

It's been a hard year. A real fuckin. HARD. YEAR.

But! It's almost over. Uni's finished for the year, I get to see my brothers which is wonderful (even if I have to see my mums too but we all gotta make sacrifices)

Escapism is the only thing keeping me sane.

And it is arguably not working very well because I got hospitalised this year but thaTS BESIDES THE POINT

Happy holidays and if I don't see you before then, Happy New Year! 🥰

Marvel Masterpieces card #92: Psi-Lord

[puddingggggggg]

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

So Malice jumped into Franklin's mind, and they are showing us one of them has fully taken over, but being coy as to not tell us which...

[bronzemettle]

Gary Mitchell was a Mutant, then, right? Like if he'd been born a few centuries earlier, he'd be a Brotherhood of Mutant?

It is a relatively common mutation for Mutants to get to turn them into very powerful psychics, but non-Mutant psychics, ESPers, are still their own thing too. Gary Mitchell's power was vastly amplified by cosmic radiation at the Galactic Barrier, similar to Franklin Richards being stronger thanks to strange energies inherited from his parentage. Before that Gary was on the lower end of the human ESPer spectrum. Flashes of insight, not much more.

For 21st century examples you could look to Manchester Black, Maxwell Lord, Psimon, the Leader (albeit very weak before getting Gamma-amped), Franklin Richards (as mentioned), and April O'Neil, among many more.

But at the time these were all considered random, isolated cases with unknown/misattributed origins to their abilities. Real in-depth scientific study around ESPers as a group at large tracing the common qualities between them wouldn't come until the early United Earth years after the Post-Atomic Horrors.

ESPers do have their own historical bigotry, though. While in the 21st century Gary wouldn't join the Brotherhood, if he'd been born in that United Earth era before the founding of the Federation, he might have found himself being pressed into service with Psi Corps.

“Without You Without Them” by boygenius is such a Kubosai song. Like what do you mean “I’ll give everything I’ve got, please take what I can give”? What do you mean “I want to hear your story and be a part of it”?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN “SPEAK TO ME UNTIL YOUR HISTORY’S NO MYSTERY TO ME”??????????? LIKE WHAT THAT IS LITERALLY THEM IM GOING CRAZY‼️‼️

Did you know the BBC wanted a young Doctor spin-off, but the Doctor Who production office shut it down, so all the ideas for it became the CBBC show Leonardo?

or,

You want a Deca spinoff? We’ve had one all along!!

It’s well-known that CBBC had planned a young Doctor spin-off before they commissioned The Sarah Jane Adventures. As RTD put it in The Inside Story (2006), “Children’s BBC approached us. They wanted to do a drama based around the idea of a young Doctor Who, but I said no to that. Somehow the idea of a fourteen-year-old Doctor, on Gallifrey inventing sonic screwdrivers, takes away from the mystery and intrigue of who he is and where he came from. So instead I suggested doing a series with Sarah Jane Smith, because she'd been so popular in School Reunion.”

But is it possible that CBBC didn’t throw out the idea, and “a fourteen-year-old Doctor on Gallifrey inventing sonic screwdrivers” became “a fourteen-year-old Leondardo da Vinci in 15th century Florence inventing new futuristic technologies”? Many thanks to my friend Poseidome for pointing me to this connection, which came from the same rumorhound who told me about the Dalek rights situation and abortive BritBox reshoot plans:

Leonardo is what the young Doctor spin off was going to be. “Fantastico!” as his catchphrase. The series would follow the Doctor, Master, Rani, and friends uncovering a conspiracy within the Academy and Time Lord society. The Doctor and the eventual renegades at the heart of it all. The Doctor’s ideas being stolen, his future has been foreseen, Time Lords trying to stop it, etc. All that kind of stuff. There’s even a Borusa stand-in played by Alistair McGowan!

(More under the cut…)

The cast I believe would have been the same, along with the budget, filming locations and costumes. Just adapted to be more sci-fi. CGI shots of Gallifrey, actual futuristic technology, classic monster cameos, that kind of thing.

Most if not all the ideas for the young Doctor series are in the Leonardo trailer still, as they kept 99% of the concept. The independent company tasked with adapting it had already done all the development before the idea got canned. Storylines, scripts, characters, costume ideas, locations, sets. If you watch the first series, the story arc and scripts should still be clear what they originally were, so it sort of still is, in a weird way, a bit of Doctor Who media.

I think it would have been really popular. I believe it would have broadcast in a gap year, or between split seasons. Similar to what they later did with Class, but instead of late teens, it was for the Sarah Jane Adventures demographic.

I’ve not seen the second series, but my understanding is its a lot more it’s own thing, as by then they’d had time to redevelop it outside of being a reworked young Doctor show. Hence why series 1 is the way it is, and series 2 tonally different.

I’ve done some digging to try to verify this rumour, including reaching out to one of the series 1 writers, but I haven’t found anything definitive yet. I rather doubt that development had gone as far as costumes, sets, etc., given how early in the process RTD seems to have shot it down, but it’s certainly true that the cast list matches perfectly. Plagiarising freely from the Leonardo Wiki:

Jonathan Bailey (Psi from “Time Heist”!) as Leonardo da Vinci, a young apprentice who loves painting, inventing, and creating new things. As the BBC Press Office put it, “He’s not just a genius; he’s an unstoppable, free-thinking creative force who’s always ten steps ahead of the rest.” Obviously the Doctor.

Flora Spencer-Longhurst as Tomaso/Lisa (of “Mona” fame), a girl who lives disguised as a male apprentice at Verrocchio’s workshop in Florence. According to the rumorhound, this would have been the Rani – although she also sounds a bit like Alanir …

Akemnji Ndifornyen as Niccolò Machiavelli or “Mac”, the number one man when it come to fraud or theft. He has a network of urchin spies and cut-purses throughout the city, and he likes money-making schemes and mingling with the rich and famous. Leo sometimes has to get him out of trouble. Obviously the Master.

Colin Ryan as Lorenzo de’ Medici, a wealthy boy largely bored of his life of luxury who enjoys sneaking away to join his friends. He is anxious to please his father, whom he greatly admires. The Monk, perhaps?

Alistair McGowan as Piero de’ Medici, an ambitious man and cousin to the Duke of Florence. He keeps a close eye on all happenings in Florence, and he heads a mysterious secret society. Borusa.

James Cunningham as Andrea del Verrocchio, Leo and Tom’s strict maestro. Leonardo is very loyal to him. The Doctor’s mentor Azmael, or an original character?

In light of this, I could totally believe that the blueprint of the young Doctor series was reused for Leonardo. If true, the transposition of the characters from Gallifrey to late 15th century Florence was frankly inspired. TIL Machiavelli and da Vinci were actually contemporaries!

(Incidentally, one of the script editors of Leonardo, Nina Métivier, also played a role in some of my favorite stories from the Chibnall era: she edited “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” and “It Takes You Away” in Doctor Who series 11, and of course she wrote “Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror” in series 12.)

This wouldn’t be the first time that planned Doctor Who stories have been repurposed for other series: Wizards vs. Aliens (2012–2014) was made by the same creative team and played in the same timeslot as The Sarah Jane Adventures, and at least one episode was based on a SJA script that had gone unproduced after Elisabeth Sladen’s untimely death; some Dirk Gently and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy stories had their roots in Douglas Adams’ rejected or unproduced Fourth Doctor pitches; and quite a few rejected Wilderness Era book and audio proposals eventually found homes outside Who, such as the Sixth Doctor pitch Smoking Mirror, which ultimately became into the Faction Paradox novel Against Nature.

But unlike those cases, where we know the character dynamics of the Doctor and their companion or Sarah Jane’s friends so we can spot their analogues in the new contexts, this young Doctor series is an attempt to do something new. Maybe we can spot the young Doctor and Master [edit: or can we?!], but we’ve never seen their friendship anything like this before – and as for the Monk being an impressionable kid trying to impress his father? It’s completely new.

We don’t have anything to compare Leonardo against: its existence is literally the only surviving hint of CBBC’s vision for the young Doctor and friends. And what a compelling hint it is!

Really enjoying imagining knowing Luigi before the murder, finding out from headlines that yeah, that Luigi is an american hero now. Nobody thought he had that in him.

So you're telling me Luigi... Luigi Mangione is the ceo killer?

You mean the Luigi who won the Phi Psi karaoke contest with a shirtless rendition of Dirty Pop...?

You mean my Luigi? The Luigi who came to my apartment at 12am after I got dumped and binge watched all 3 Lord of the Rings movies to distract me? That Luigi?

Luigi, lol. The one who's banned from Costco (for life) for the 'quiche thief' incident?

Luigi, who's just a little more than a little bit afraid of spiders?

guys someone is gonna have to stop me because i can keep going with these. this is one of the methods i use to figure out prompts.

Luigi. The guy who carried me from the waves to the boardwalk after I stepped on a piece of glass in the ocean at Wildwood?

Luigi... really? You mean the guy who dumped the Delta Zeta he was simping over because she had Ragu in her pantry?

i can keep going.

Luigi, you mean LuLu, the dude who's batting 1000 on flirting his way out of traffic tickets?

fun fun fun fun fun dont you think? could be all little one shots or flash backs. yall can use these if you want.
