Curious…

What are your thoughts on the Chain’s body hair…? Super random, but I gotta know.

Are they all running around like naked mole rats?

I MEAN—

idk it’s actually not something I’ve thought much of! Though it is quite the thought, nonetheless 🤭

But like—now I gotta put some thought into this.

Check back on me later, to see if I’m still alive after falling through this spiral as I develop hcs

I thought the same about that jacket scene and then saw gifs of it a few days later 🤣 like yeah its sweet but you see Merlin place the jacket down so why is it such a big deal to people?

honestly, i'm just assuming most people don't remember it and that's why, but the amount of "i never noticed that" in the tags? made me wonder if the scene before was cut on some platforms/whilst airing at some point, though i can't imagine why that would be. so. perhaps just forgetting

Given the misinformation that's been going around and will be going around, thought this might be helpful to some people

For a lot of reasons, I'm very good at this/at searching, to the point where I have worked as a professional fact-checker for two different publishers. So, here goes:

My Article Fact-Checking Protocol

Thorough Version

Read the full article. Keep an eye out for emotionally loaded words, and all-or-nothing language

Keep an eye out or anything that sounds too good to be true, and in contrast, anything that sounds so awful it must be true

Run the website/source through the amazing Media Bias/Fact Check. They'll tell you about a publication's bias and history of accuracy

Go to the website's home page and read through the headlines. Look at what topics they cover/prioritize, sensationalist headlines, and whether they're framing anything in a way that feels odd/off to you

Do a search related to the topic. This can be keywords, a question, or even just copy-paste the article title (Recommended: use DuckDuckGo so the results don't change based on what Google thinks they can sell you)

If multiple highly credible sources that say the same thing pop up, and there's no major societal biases that might affect the coverage of the topic in those sources (e.g. anything related to the Israel-Palestine conflict/Palestinian genocide, no matter which side), then I'm done!

If there are major societal biases, or I can't get a consensus of sufficiently credible sources, then I do some combination of:

(1) search the topic again + the words "controversy" and/or "fake"

(2) search the opposite of the topic, or do some sort of other filtered search

(3) look up a sufficiently credible news outlet with the opposite point of view of my source, and see what they have to say

(4) if it's a big enough topic, start by looking up 2 of the top national papers and 1 major paper for your region (I usually do the ones in the US, because that's where I am In the US: the LA Times, the Washington Post, and the NY Times)

Adjust "news" to "relevant type of source, e.g. tech, environmental" as relevant for all of the above options

If no red flags come up, and it's a topic I understand enough to smell huge bullshit,

Then I'm usually done!

If there are red flags, or I actually need a certain amount of detail/understanding, then it gets more complicated, but that would be a whole other thing to break down and such

or

tl;dr

Quick Version

Read the full article. Keep an eye out for emotionally loaded words, and all-or-nothing language

Keep an eye out or anything that sounds too good to be true, and in contrast, anything that sounds so awful it must be true.

If I don't know the website:

Run the website/source through the amazing Media Bias/Fact Check. They'll tell you about a publication's bias and history of accuracy

If I trust the source, but something else pinged my radar:

Do a quick web search to verify anything that sounds suspicious or too good/bad to be true (Recommended: use DuckDuckGo)

decided to measure against different versions of Yuan (through ep10):

*Adult Yuan versions = before and after NYC

background on this stat i'm tracking (whether Qian is using I/me or Ge when he's referring to himself in direct conversation with Yuan)

i need to figure out another angle to look at this data (or maybe not, i think i'm just overthinking at this point), but i just wanted to note that in that last conversation at the bottom of the stairs Qian did not use "ge" once. sometimes the "ge" comes out naturally, other times he seems to deliberately use it to deflect and avoid confronting his own feelings about Yuan, but in that conversation he used "I/me" 17 times and not one single "ge"

*missed one "ge" in ep1, now corrected

The absolute crime that was Jack Harkness being a total enthusiastically knowledgable technology geek being written out of his character for torchwood. You wanna write a sex icon without his most attractive quality?? Come on now. Give the man his passion back.
