#haven’t seen the show?

[teecupangel]

What about a crossover with Doctor Who? I can imagine each of the assassins meeting The Doctor, and they will become companion to The Doctor. Also, The Master working with the templars to try to take over Earth. (You don't have to do this ask if you haven't seen the show.)

Oh man…

I was thinking that it would be cool if the Doctor regenerated to Desmond but I realized that it wouldn’t be Desmond himself, just the Doctor taking his face (kinda of like how Twelve isn’t the same dude as the one in Pompeii or the one in Torchwood) so instead, have this alternative:

The Doctor’s primary companion is Desmond who, at this point, is just a simple bartender running away from his past.

Instead of the Assassins becoming companions of the Doctor, it’s the Tardis doing her own thing and bringing the Doctor and Desmond to their lives.

Maybe it’s just a random day where a medjay is looking for all those Bastet-forsaken cats which turned into this hunt for a feline alien species who were actually abducting the little furballs.

Maybe they get lost on this foggy island and meet a random mercenary who was there for a job and it turns out this supposed mythological creature she is hunting was some kind of hostile alien lifeforce who should not be in earth at all.

Maybe they were just looking at one of the oldest churches in the world when a raiding party starts burning things and the Doctor is forced to help Desmond fend them off so that the villagers could run away.

Then it starts getting personal. Desmond meets the Assassins of old.

An arrogant Syrian who doesn’t even realize just how lonely he was because he had always been alone.

A fallen Italian noble so wrapped in grief and rage, not giving himself enough time to rest.

A young Indigenous American finding himself in the middle of the Americans’ bid for independence, only wishing to protect his village.

Desmond doesn’t know them but he feels a connection with them. The Doctor stresses that they cannot change the past, that doing so would be catastrophic for the entire timeline.

So Desmond doesn’t. He helps anyway he can that the Doctor allows but he never forgets them. He never forgets…

The throwing knife Altaïr gives him silently before they left…

The warmth of Ezio’s final embrace…

The quiet goodbye he shared with Ratonhnhaké:ton…

Even as he continues to be the Doctor’s companion…

Spending a few weeks sailing the West Indies with a pirate captain, looking for a ghost ship that the Doctor was sure was some kind of spaceship with a failing cloaking system…

Watching the earthquake in Lisbon and only being able to help the people who swam towards the ship they were in…

Accidentally getting swept up into the storming of Bastille prison because the Tardis brought them smack in the middle of the said prison…

Meeting Florence Nightingale at Lambeth Asylum and getting the Doctor to help out any way he can…

In the end, Desmond still ends up sacrificing his life to protect the world in 2012 but the Doctor ends up accidentally saving him in a sense. Desmond has one of the highest recorded Isu gene percentage in humanity and Isus were descended from the alien species that later evolved to Timelords. By being in close proximity to the Tardis for so long, his body had become a hybrid of human, Isu and Tardis itself due to the Huon particles and Desmond’s body composition itself. Whether this had been Minerva’s endgoal though… remains a mystery.

Because of this, Desmond sorta regenerated instead of dying but, because of how ‘alien’ Desmond had become, the Tardis starts having an allergic reaction to him. Instead of leaving him stranded somewhere, the Doctor gives him a TARDIS coral so he could grow a TARDIS of his own that wouldn’t be allergic to him.

It might take thousands of years to have his own TARDIS but…

Desmond was looking forward to it.

To having his own adventures with his own companions…

They’re so silly

Would you rather have a twink dad or lesbian daughter

[incandescent-mushroom]

if you were a trans patient in House MD, House would call you sooo many slurs to your face, fuck up your pronouns intentionally, invent a new offensive term that hadn’t previously existed and look up your deadname so he can use it pointedly in every single sentence. then after the end of episode shenanigans he’d casually be like “btw i lied to the administration and told them you needed hormone injections and insurance subsidized top surgery to live. better not tell lol” and you’d just have to accept the fact that you’ve been hatecrimed AND gender-affirmed in the span of like 24 hrs

i love character development

[grayintogreen]

I do appreciate Vaxleth digging into why the whole Flying Dutchman arrangement in PotC only works in theory and is just kinda fucked in practice. like don’t get me wrong. I love that whole concept, but at the end of the day, you’re in love with a ghost and that ghost can love you every day of his long existence but he’s never going to be able to stay when he gets a chance to be there. He’s always going to have to go. It isn’t about choosing the sea or the Matron. It’s that he’s been dead the whole time and you’re only granted a brief illusion of what it would be like if he wasn’t. You’re only going to keep getting hurt the more you refuse to accept that there was no choosing here. He can’t stay, not because he doesn’t want to but because he’s dead and he has a job to do.

hotd s2 finale predictions

- the “tyland lannister gets fucking menaced at every single meeting somehow due to no apparent fault of his own” subplot by it escalating to him getting literally full on terrorized

- rhaenyra maintains serial killer’s gleam in her eye and acts a bit delusional

- alicent maintains sad wet cat gleam in her eye and acts a bit delusional

- larys strong shows up in yet another sumptuous outfit

- the “aemond must be dealt with subplot” does not resolve aemond does not get dealt with.

- somehow no definite conclusion about whether nettles is here or not

- daemon gets terrorized one more time for the road. the riverlands does not let you go without taking a little bit of your soul with you

- however many times rhaena appears on screen rat catchers dog will appear two times more

- simon strong shows up in yet another sumptuous outfit

- daeron appears but does not actually appear

- the “baela is in this show” subplot is not resolved because they keep not putting her in the show

-war bad feminism good

- criston and gwayne freak it. literally or metaphorically take your pick

- i turn to my friends and say that i think rhaenyra and mysaria should kiss with tongue again and everyone agrees with me

- jakey gets into beef with the dragonseeds which will set up them betraying him at the gullet in a way rhaenyra doesn’t quite find out about next season

- rhaenyra and daemon undivorce. for now.

- show sets up team black to be really dominant at the end which they will immediately fumble next season

Gotta give my rudeboy some attentionnnnn 🏏🏏

Buck: I kissed Tommy. Eddie: …Tommy. Buck: Well, he kissed me! Not that I didn’t kiss him back, but the point still stands. Eddie: Tommy with the helicopter? That Tommy? Buck, groaning: Yes, Eddie! That Tommy! Eddie: Huh. I can’t blame him. I’ve been wanting to do that for years myself. Buck, blinking aggressively: What. Eddie: How do you feel about having two boyfriends? Tommy, out of nowhere: Yeah, what do say, Evan? Buck: I think, I think I’m gonna pass out.

It annoys me to no end with so many people saying that Rings of Power isn’t ‘in the spirit of Tolkien’ when they haven’t even watched it.

Seriously? There are things I do not like about the show and wish they had done differently, but almost all of it is utterly amazing. Every person who’s worked on that project has poured so much time and effort into it, and for an incredible result.

And by the way, when you say ‘spirit of Tolkien’ what do you even mean? How are you defining that? Because that show absolutely screams Tolkien by my measurement, not to mention his literal family is working on the project personally, and it 100% measures up to Peter Jackson’s work.

And you haven’t even watched it. Just watch it and try it. You watch enough bad media already just to criticize it, why not this? You’re gonna like it more than you think.

A lot of people seem to think Charles’s internal bleeding was caused by the rocks being thrown at him, but considering how deep he was in the water that’s unlikely, the rocks wouldn’t have hit his torso particularly hard because the water would slow them down

It’s far more likely they beat him up before throwing him in the lake, which is what I always assumed. We see Charles in the water looking pretty resigned to what’s happening, like he’s just waiting for it to be over while trying not to get hit too hard by the rocks. It seems out of character for him to not fight back at all, so there had to have been at least a few minutes between the beginning of the attack and reaching the lake where they beat him into submission

[chai-berries]

ughhhhhhh 😮‍💨🥴😮‍💨🥴 ma’am????

[glitterparpaing]

it seems to be rightfully impossible for Mike Faist to have a major role in a movie/musical without making it unbearably homoerotic

and honestly? love that for him
