#audio book my beloved

The club no one wants to be a part of: the 2am nausea club

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

Thinking about how in "Death and the Queen" (Tenth Doctor Adventures - Volume one), the Doctor said "I lied. I said I was fine about you leaving, and I'm not" and "No man's ever gonna be good enough for my Donna", and how when he said "No happily ever after", Donna answered "Except with you".

[variousqueerthings]

actually wonder about martha and donna. they met and got on really well, they could've hung out conceivably, but then donna got her memory wiped. and now her memory is back again. it's another facet of the eternal question about martha and the story: did she leave it entirely? how would she (from an in-universe pov) want to possibly still be in that story, especially considering how donna in some ways could have been a much healthier point of contact than the doctor? is she still disillusioned and tired, or would she think fondly back to some of the wonder and want to be in some way connected, not just as someone who's scared and carrying the responsibility of the world? who is martha jones today after all of that? did she ever run into donna with no memory on the street and did she know not to greet her like a friend, and what could it have meant for her that donna wouldn't recognise her? another link to that story severed outside of martha's control. does she know about the companions group? would she know that donna got her memory back? what would her feelings be if she did stumble across fourteen, either by connecting with donna first or realising afterwards that this face lives with donna (whether or not she knows about both the mindwipe and the regaining of that memory)

Shout-out to @silverjirachi for writing some of the best literature for two Eco-Terrorists I've ever read. I've thought about them often ever since I read it.

This is just. them. but I wanted an excuse to bring up The Devil and The Dead Sea tbh

I wanna do like,, actual serious art for this fanfic one day i promise, but I am dead tired and this was all I got ANSJFJDJAKMS-

The philoctetes is a comedy actually

I was talking with my best friend yesterday about our love life and end up doing a recap of all the people we both have liked.

So far, we realized my type are ✨nerds✨

Nerds in all its shapes and colors tbh.

Why the fucking fuck does that apply to fictional dudes too?????????

2023 reads

The Water Outlaws

fantasy inspired by a wuxia classic

a woman who’s an expert arms instructor is labelled a criminal after being assaulted by a powerful man

she joins a group of rebellious bandits who fight for justice, and becomes entangled in politics both with the group and the empire - who are trying to develop powerful magical weapons

mainly queer & female cast

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

If I DO end up doing a rewatch of Torchwood it will be a fun game of "how much of what I consider to be canon has just purely been from reading fanfic these past 7 years, some of the audio dramas and audio books, and the same 4 episodes every time I rehyperfixate?"

Just started Roman Holiday and I want to grab E. C. Myers by the shoulders and shake him like a bobblehead

[robinsnest2111]

just remembered my current phone has a radio app and the earbud wires act as an antenna... ahh, reminds me of my childhood before smartphones when my father would punish my life disrupting sleep issues by confiscating the power cable of my computer/unplug the Lan cable every evening (even going so far as straight up cutting off the power cable to my TV at one point when I'd watch TV all night until I could fall asleep) and I'd channel surf and listen to the radio on my dinky little Sony Erricson W395 all night while drawing until I was tired enough to pass out <3

all the music I discovered and all the horror radio plays I listened to over the years... :')

[i-am-become-a-name]

four (?) months after starting the Year of Irving Braxiatel, I have finally finished the first book! Empire of Glass was... interesting for various reasons, just a bit difficult to get invested since I'm not super about the first doctor.

Next on the list are audios, starting with... Zagreus. Aka the first ever eighth doctor audio I listened to, and very nearly the last bc wtf. wtf is that audio and why did I promise to listen to it again.

you like murderbot? do you have,, thoughts about it? fav character/relationship/scene? are you caught up on all of them?

oh i love it! definitely one of my favourite series! the way it talks about personhood versus humanity versus being human, all of which are different things, is so important to me. also as someone who uses it pronouns i love a main character that also uses it pronouns (and everyone just. accepts it no problem lol) obviously i just love the whole presaux crew, murderbot's and art's friendship is sooo important to me!

and god don't ask me for a favourite scene there's so many good ones!! but i think the whole. "you have no idea what i am." - "i know exactly what you are. you're afraid, you're hurt, and you need to calm the fuck down so we can get through this situation alive." scene on the gunship on tranrollinhyfa is so. GOOD. and then murderbot almost deleting itself trying to save its humans!! yeah. so what if i maybe like a self-sacrificial character 👀

but also the whole ganaka pit section was so fucking heart-breaking like holy shit the way the units in the recorded data keep trying to push through the massacre and just. stop responding one by one... bruh

there's so many good scenes if i listed them all i would probably re-tell the entire series lmao

then there's also the overall setting, the absolutely dystopian capitalistic hell of the corporation rim versus the much more pleasant (but not perfect utopian) non-corporate territories, the existence of alien artifacts (and in fact the whole. alien remnants can literally drive people insane, etc. just by. being around them), it's a very cool setting~

i haven't had the time to read the most recent book (system collapse) because work has been kicking my ass (and also i occasionally got too busy writing instead of reading lol) but i should have time to start the audio book at work next week 🙏

i would die for murderbot but it would kill itself for me first and then complain about always having to save random humans i think lmao

I was tagged by both @lewisainz and @fernandoalonzoo tysm!!!

Rules: tag 9 people you want to know more

Last song: "Junk" - Jane Air

Last show: I think I most recently watched Barry?

Currently watching: (so many shows) Succession, Barry, Ted Lasso, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Beef, 2009 F1 Season(that counts right?)

Currently reading: I don't read books I only read fic :,) but nah, mostly I just can never get myself to actually start physical books. I stole a copy of All Quiet on the Western Front from highschool to read and then just never started it 😭 so hopefully that one day! I also started Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover and then just abandoned it, so hopefully that one too

Current obsession: Formula 1 babey!! It's taken over my life in an indescribable way 🫣 I have trouble staying in fandoms for a long period of time(because I can only concentrate on one at a time), and not to jinx myself, but F1 seems like it'll be here to stay for a good while! More specifically: my top blorbos Seb and Fernando, whom I am obsessed with (also, but not limited to: Oscar, Mark, Jenson, Max, Mick, etc.) I like to watch older seasons and my favorite era is the V8 era(tho I think I'd generally say 2005-2013), but also my life is taken over constantly by the current season :D also obsessed with gifing races and downloading way too many pictures :,)

I tag(also sorry if you've been double tagged!! Also no pressure as always!!!)(11 not 9 hehe):
