Could Bad Wolf from Dr Who kill Macbeth? It is a woman who looked into the time vortex and became both omnipotent and omniscient?

Yes, Bad Wolf from Doctor Who could kill Macbeth!

Bad Wolf is "an entity that Rose Tyler briefly became after staring into the heart of the Doctor's TARDIS and directly into the Time Vortex." (Quote from tardis.wiki) While there is a strong (and honestly probably canonical) case that Rose Tyler and Bad Wolf are considered separate entities, Bad Wolf is still referred to exclusively with either she/her or it/its pronouns, applying Bad Wolf for the Gender Clause regardless.

When it comes to Bad Wolf's "birth," I would say that she does apply for Unconventional Birth Clause, but probably not Birth Parent Clause, as its creation was done by Rose Tyler (a woman) and the time vortex of the TARDIS (also considered a woman, or at least she/her, in the show).

Bad Wolf is also explicitly stated has having "fate manipulation" as part of her near-omnipotent arsenal, which would mean that Bad Wolf is probably our most solid example of a classic Unique Exception we've had so far.

Thank you for your submission!

Bernard the Elf x elf!Reader: Cider

Word Count: 479 Warnings/Notes: Gender neutral and elf reader, established relationship, nicknames, elf!reader is locked up in a cell within E.L.F.S. headquarters, crying, a tiny bit of angst (I swear there's a funny reason for this situation! 😅), and fluff. Summary: Bernard rushes to E.L.F.S. HQ upon the news of the elf!reader being taken there because of a not-so-nice reason.

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

  December, the height of the holiday season. And in the case of the North Pole, the busiest time of the year; the countdown to Christmas. Toys were still being made, painted, and accessorized for the big night. With that in mind, it was not a wonder as to why the head elf Bernard was anxiously rushing toward the E.L.F.S. headquarters.

  The main door to the E.L.F.S. headquarters swung open, and by the hesitant relief on the elves’ faces, you knew exactly who had walked in. The specific frantic steps from his boots entered your ears and you turned around on the bench. You could not face him. The pit of your stomach hung heavy as if struck by a dense fruitcake. And as you heard him speak, you huddled even tighter to yourself.

  “Have they served their time?” Bernard asked of the elves.   “Yes,” they replied, but sighed. “But they are taking it a lot harder on themselves than we ever could.”   Bernard’s brows scrunched beneath his curly locks. “What are they in for?”   “Shoving mistletoe up another elf’s nose.”   Bernard gasped and turned to see your shoulders quaking in your sobs behind the licorice barred cell.   “I had too much cider,” you cried.   Stepping close to the sugary bars, he asked further, but to you. “But why’d you do it?”   Recalling the encounter to vividly, you responded honestly. “They kept saying that the best Christmas song was Baby It’s Cold Outside. Insistently,” you sobbed in your sleeves. “I’m the poster-elf for the Naughty List!”

  Most of the elves in the room winced and looked to the Head Elf hopefully.   “We’re releasing them under your good authority and…for the sake of our ears, please.”   “I’ll take care of everything,” he assured with a nod.

  They unlocked the door of licorice and looked over your hunched form. “You’re free to go.”   Head low, you walked out of the cell quietly and followed beside Bernard out of E.L.F.S. HQ. The walk remained silent all of the way to your shared home.

  As soon as Bernard closed the door, tears began again. Taking you gently into his arms, he tried to console you.   “You’re alright, sugarplum.”   “I’m over a thousand years old,” you sniffled, “I should know better.”   “You do,” he soothed. “You are just a very passionate elf. And I love you for that.”   You looked up at him with shimmering eyes. “You do?”   “Of course I do. I really do.” He kissed your forehead sweetly. “You’re my gumdrop.”   The tears welling up turned to those of joy as you smiled at your husband of a few hundred years. “Sugarpie,” you awed as the pair of you gazed at one another adoringly.   “Maybe lay off on the cider for a while,” Bernard suggested, and you could not agree more.   “Yeah…”

Ti's the season and what not, Bernard season

[chmarzity]

Everyone talks about Legolas but this was the only elf I had a crush on growing up

[vvyrmwood]

all those angry ppl who say they don’t have pronouns or ‘don’t do pronoun shit’ aren’t lying for You see I took them. They’re mine now and i’m collecting more he/hims and she/hers and they/thems everyday like they’re gold coins for my scary transexual dragon hoard.

People love ragging on Catholics on this site (fast free and easy like river water socks) but I think it’s extra funny y’all seem to think Catholics are some sort of sex prudes. Like, if a Catholic man does not give his wife an orgasm he is failing his sworn duties as a husband. I did not endure polite insinuations that my parents fucked often and well to have as many kids as they have for you to act like any self respecting Catholic is a celibate virgin. Laypeople have sex in this denomination Kaitleign. What are we, Calvinists? Jansenism is soooo 17th century Protestant Reformation-informed heresy.

Gnome Ann from XKCD could kill Macbeth!

Macbeth's prophecy very clearly states that "Gnome Ann of woman born can kill Macbeth." Additionally, she falls under the Gender Clause!

EDIT: Gnome Ann also counts as the recently defined Unique Exception.

can I request house wardens + leech twins with a reader who doesn't eat enough bc Crowley doesn't give them enough for food, and they end up really ill and collapsing or something. I'm cravin some fluffy comfort rn, pls and thank you 🙏

I got you🫡🫡 as someone who's been through an eerily similar situation, I really liked this request

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ another crowley moment™️

type of post: headcanons characters: riddle, leona, azul, floyd, jade, kalim, vil, idia, malleus additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu, mentions of food and not eating

Riddle wouldn't even have to like you to rush to your side. but he does like you, which makes it all the worse

after checking your vitals, you're in the infirmary. he's got doctors for parents, after all, and he knows that malnutrition is bad

he should have seen the signs...

with exams coming, he's been so busy, and he assumed that you were just tired from studying

but he can feel guilty later. right now, he needs to focus on you getting well again, and not killing Crowley

(then, of course, he'll look for some legal statute or clause that he can threaten Crowley with so you're fed properly)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Leona noticed you'd been acting a little weird lately, but watching you collapse still puts him in shock

luckily, Ruggie and Jack are nearby to help you to the infirmary, so Leona can focus on hunting Crowley down like an animal

there are very few times where Leona is particularly grateful for his status, but this is one of them. just one word on how his family will be hearing about Crowley's neglect, and the old bastard is begging him for forgiveness

even after that, Leona still sends Ruggie with snacks and drinks to Ramshackle

and if you ever scare him like that again, you'll regret it (lovingly)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

the news of you collapsing during flight lessons reaches Octavinelle rather fast. no one is particularly surprised, since Floyd had mentioned how easily you'd been bruising lately just the night before, but everyone is certainly worried

Azul is the first at your side, asking you all sorts of questions, worried sick. Jade has to remind him to give you space to rest, since you look exhausted (had you always had those dark circles? how could Azul have not noticed?)

now, Azul and the tweels could easily find a way to pressure Crowley, but they know better than to trust him

from now on, you'll be eating in the Mostro Lounge, free of charge

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

perhaps Kalim was just oblivious, because he really didn't think anything was wrong until you were suddenly on the floor in front of him

sure, you'd been a little moody lately, but he figured it was just a thing you were going through. and besides, you know that you can talk to him about anything... right?

Jamil hurries to check your pulse, and shouts for him to get the school nurse- which is jarring, because Jamil never shouts

when you explain everything to Kalim later, he feels... terrible. he should've known- no, he should've asked

Kalim insists you stay at Scarabia while you're recovering, and makes sure you have the most enriching, delicious meals money can buy

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Vil knew it was bad, but not this bad. if he had known you were on the verge of collapsing, he would've taken a firmer approach to getting you to eat

you're going to worry him to death someday, you know that?

after he's done verbally eviscerating Crowley, he'll insist on joining you at every meal. he'll eat at Ramshackle, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, if that's what it takes

he's subtle about it, at least

if he notices that your plate feels empty, he'll just take some food from his and put it on yours. gracefully, elegantly, without a word

you'll come home one day to see your kitchen stocked with vitamins, supplements, and apples (courtesy of Epel)

<3 and a note that says he'll treat you to dinner whenever you want

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

never scare Idia like that ever again. he wasn't even with you when you collapsed, and he STILL nearly had a heart attack

listen, he knows he's not a great role model when it comes to nutritional eating, but you have got to tell him these things. he would've had Ortho go get takeout! or something!

typical Crowley behavior, SMH. what does he think you are? a rabbit? even the school horses get treated better...

no way that Idia is going to even bother with that old fart, anyway. you want something? he'll get it for you. you don't even have to ask, he'll just send food to your place (and have Ortho check your vitals more often but shhh)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

I would not want to be in the room when Malleus finds out about this

not even the building. you know what? I'd steer clear of the whole island, because it will not be pretty

when you collapse in front of him, it feels like he's dying, too. the panic sets in, and he sends Lilia to look after you, and Silver and Sebek to escort you to the infirmary, and then he casually threatens to smite Crowley. obviously

if the students and staff of NRC thought Malleus was scary just being Malleus, he's terrifying when he's mad

(rest assured that you will be getting ten times the amount of food from now on)

it's thunderstorms for days after, but he never leaves your side

stumbled across this card on scryfall and oh boy is it a doozy

so. the updated wording of the card (most importantly "gender" and "as you cast") makes this potentially the funniest card in the game rules-wise. no judge has weighed in on it (probably because its an old card out of print and not legal in any format) but it begs the question

what happens if someone comes out as trans in response?

i would love to know from a judge 1) if a players gender is hidden information (and, if so, what zone (if any) its in), 2) if coming out is a special action (similar to taking off your pants to dodge denimwalk) that doesnt use the stack, cannot be responded to (can you fucking imagine getting countered on that?), and can be done whenever the player has priority, and 3) if the reveal affects the "as you cast" clause
