this is the most disrespectful use of the split-screen reaction shot i have ever seen. i would file a grievance with the vice-captains' union.

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

it is so fucking insane that palestine is suffering extreme, like beyond insane, violence done to them by ppl worse than nazis, and the world just sits idly by and allows it

I miss you Lorna… this is such a mess

This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope you’re all doing well!! I’m sorry to see nothing has improved.

I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. 💕

Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.

The video is still on YT.

I just got done rewatching ashildr’s episode and she asks why he hasn’t made Clara immortal and it makes me wonder what would Clara do with true immortality and no doctor … like that girl would burn the planet just for some fun. Thoughts on what she’d get up to?

tbf that's just her canon ending! she's just immortal now with no doctor! and before you're like well actually she still has to die one day it's like. does she tho. like i truly believe she'd get ten years in and be like wait this rules actually i'm not giving this up and then sends a flesh copy or clone or smth to gallifrey to die in her place. boom free immortality absolutely zero drawbacks she will never regret it and definitely won't spiral into a deep period of depression once she realises that she will never ever be able to stop that everything will just keep going on and so will she. forever. that day will never come!

and yes of course she burns planets. she's like i am doing this to save the universe. and sometimes it's not a lie! hahaha classic clara. the flux happens and she's like well really any planets i may or may not have destroyed for definitely good reasons don't really count now do they and everyone's like yes they still fucking do and she's like 👍 <- is already committing another genocide

Reading ORV felt like I found a beautiful gem at first but it actually was not really a gem. It became a warmth that quietly, slowly but surely seeped through the little cracks in my head and filled holes I didn't even know existed. Or maybe I knew but I covered my own eyes.

It continued on further and further down until it found the me who kept hiding out of fear. And it grabbed her by the shoulders like it was always meant to happen and it said "Live. Please live. You will survive. For your sake and for others, please live. Please keep believing and holding on no matter what. I promise you, you're not alone, you never were."

It's terrifying to realise that the one thing you thought would always hold true, which is that you are hopeless, is actually wrong. There's some sick sense of comfort to sabotaging yourself and seeing confirmation after confirmation that you are indeed hopeless. But then something comes to you like a slap and like a hug (ORV for me) and shoves a mirror right under your nose and you're like "I didn't actually totally give up... Oh fuck." And that changes A LOT in a very sneaky way.

And now here I am. I've been thinking hard lately as usual but not about the usual very negative things. And I think I might be able to take a first step and reach out. Jesus fucking Christ it's terrifying, there's a shit ton of things that I have to fix. Oh wow. Okay. Well, I don't have to fix it all right now right now, I can take it slow or something. Right ? Better late than never. So yeah.

dear internet stop throwing pictures of beautifully toasted bagels slathered in cream cheese at me i don't have a toaster i don't have room in my teeny kitchenette for a toaster a toaster is a luxury here in japan as are bagels as is cream cheese

bagel places here that ask me "do you want that heated up" make me want to cry tears of joy even though all they mean is they're gonna stick the bagel in the microwave for ten seconds so it's slightly warm-ish but not enough to crisp up or melt the cream cheese a little
