pretty funny how every time someone tries to give Tegan a male love interest in an audio drama it somehow turns into a story about how much Tegan isn't interested at all

--- it's a curse why don't they stop trying ----

it's actually great. do the writers even know they're doing this??? my theory is that they're actually earnestly trying to write it at face value…. and then Janet Fielding delivers it ….like that….

and. well.

[nostalgia-tblr]

while pondering the similarity of Old Who Historicals it occurred to me that a possible handwave on all that "you can't change history, not one line!!" stuff is that the Doctor doesn't actually know (yet) that you can. i mean, given that most Time Lords will never leave Gallifrey anyway and the planet is big on non-intervention it's possible that rather than patiently explaining to students why interfering would be wrong and getting them to agree with that, it might just be easier to tell them that changing the past is impossible. They're very unlikely to ever find out that they were lied to, after all.

this means there's a point in the first few seasons where the Doctor does something that changes history and he's like "i can do that???" and it's all downhill from there. or uphill, depending who you ask.

Rewatching mlp and rarity is my favorite main character actually, bbg i am so sorry i disliked you when i was like 12

[duck-in-a-spaceship]

Been working on making a mixed-media, foldable, Disco Elysium inspired zine! Did a bunch of scans today for one of the pages, so I wanted to share my progress here and hopefully get some opinions.

For context, the lines for this page are:

"The world is ending

And it sings, radio waves plucked along the E-string"

On the left here we have Scan 9, and on the right is Scan 14. The biggest feature I like about Scan 9 is that those fine tuners are BRIGHT. This is a common feature on early scans that sort of got 'fixed' as I kept going. Scan 14 doesn't have this, but in exchange you can see way more of the strings. In fact, 14 shows off the violin as a whole pretty well, you can even see the f-holes if you squint! It also has better string placement for where words need to go, especially up top there.

Here we have Scan 15 (left) and Scan 16 (right). These were the last two scans I did, acting on an idea that had kind of been living in the back of my mind since I started doing these. Since the theme of the zine is 'Porch Collapse', I thought the idea of someone reaching out from the pale was really cool! It also shows off the scanner's capabilities a little better. My main concerns is that the addition makes things too busy, and since I didn't have this idea in mind as I wrote this zine, it isn't directly reflected in the lines for this page.

It does look cool though! I did 15 first and wasn't quite happy with the finger placement (this was a very awkward position to get right haha) but after doing 16 I think I might like the first one better? 16 has a kind of 'trapped' desperation to it, but 15 fades away so nicely. Idk! Again, I'd love to hear what folks think.

Draft 1 (with chuuya and murase)

stormbringer spoilers!! CW: It's got lots of mentions of underage sex specifically with adults so there's a pedophillia warning there even though you don't see any of it

"Chuuya can I talk to you"

Murase had taken Chuuya in almost a month ago, the teen adjusted surprisingly quickly from his old mafia lifestyle to a new domestic one. Aside from finding it dull sometimes.

Murase knew Chuuya was a child raised in bloodshed, he'd always crave it But this wasn't about that. (im adding more here)

"What is it?" Is the response he gets.

Snappy and blunt, Chuuya always was with adults. It was rude of course but his sentences got straight to the point and held a respectable honesty.

They could work on it together later, not now though. This was much more important.

For a moment Chuuya stares at him.

Tired eyes and red hair, freckles and scars.

A child who needed to grow to survive.

God, and Chuuya was a child.

He's sixteen and Murase has to sit him down and explain to him why he shouldn't sleep with people twice his age.

Its nauseating to say the least.

Murase stands up and moves past chuuya leading him into the living room. His hands are trembling as he sits opposite to the boy.

"Chuuya-" He starts. "I'm sure.. you know what this is about."

The boy in front of him isn't the one he dragged from the mafia, nor is it the starved desperate boy he saw in a photo a year ago at his station.

Chuuya isn't an up-and-coming Mafioso any more and he's certainly not a kid trying to keep the only form of identity he has close with desperate famished hands, he's a child plucked from a war and placed in a warm home trying his hardest to adapt like he always had. Except for once he's not adapting to some new threat or danger.

So of course Chuuya doesn't know how to act right yet.

Of course Chuuya would have looked for any affection he could on those streets. Any validation he could in the mafia.

Of course those habits wouldn't just vanish.

Of course just like Chuuya still holds his body like a gun ready to fire he'd still hold his tenderness like a cheap reward.

Murase puts his hands on his lap.

Where Chuuya can see them, they have to be in his sight because if not they could be wrapped around the grip of a gun, or the hilt of a knife or any other weapon he could win against but hopefully doesn't want to.

For if Chuuya doesn't want to fight it could mean maybe the smallest part of him has become attached to the detective and maybe a smaller part of him doesn't want to let that go.

There's light in the living room. Covering every object, every inch of the room.

Engraved like patterns into wood or sprayed like graffiti on a train station, either way it glitters through and does little to calm nerves or ease clotted tension, but its okay. He can talk to Chuuya. he couldn't in the past but he can now and he can hope that will be enough.

(Milgram self-insert oc masterpost hehe)

Name: For the sake of posting online I’ll call her Rose!

Color: #E7355B [the pink in the art]

Age: I guess she’d be 20 given when Milgram started huh.

Status: Milgram Staff, Machine Technician

Symbols/imagery: ballet/musical theater, science experiments

Song genre: very similar to Mahiru's, something upbeat and extra pop-y

Tentatively she's number 011? She's not really prisoner but she's also not free to come and go, so I'm not actually sure if she'd get a number (Edit: I've decided she'll actually be 012. Staff is given the 01X range, and even though Es doesn't actively have a number they'd be staff member 011, making her 012.)

Story: Since the project is supposed to be realistic/present day, the mv machine would be brand new and unpredictable tech, so they’d want someone keeping up on maintenance and making sure the brain-invasive process won’t cause any harm to the prisoners. Rose was studying abroad in Japan working on some cool neuroscience tech (irl I know nothing about technology or brains but shh) and she stumbled upon some secret tech/plans from Milgram. Long story short, she was dragged into the experiment to make sure things ran smoothly.

Writer's Reasoning: She’s really fun for me to play around with, as she allows me to work with a character who has a tiny bit of pull over Es’ mindset in conversation but not the final decision (aka mirroring the voting system), and someone who is simultaneously trapped in the prison but has a reason to see all the canon content.* I really enjoy the character interactions and dynamics Milgram has set up so far, so it’s been super fun seeing how things change for better and worse when someone not quite aligned with either Milgram/the prisoners is thrown into the mix!

*As much as I love dramatic irony in fiction, it would drive me crazy if I knew every detail of of the vds/mvs but Rose didn't – and every single Milgram character is The Worst Communicator Ever so I couldn’t justify that she’d hear it secondhand from them...

Story roles:

She’s a bit conflicted -- she’s officially Milgram staff and knows she should remain neutral on the prisoners, since she won’t be allowed to interfere with the process/executions. At the same time, her job description is literally “make sure the machine doesn't hurt them and everyone's safe :)” and she's way too emotional to avoid getting hopelessly attached to everyone 😅

I really enjoy the theory that the machine extracts videos based off of priming, so one of Rose’s duties involves listening in on the interrogation and making sure there’s been enough material discussed/not too much time has passed overall (hence the ringing of the bell happening at different lengths for each vd -- That's her ringing it :3). She then watches the mvs along with Es to make sure there are no machine glitches, and know how to calibrate it better for next time.

(IEdit: I've since decided to add in official trial mvs, but before when I wasn't ready to tackle that:) She has to run some tests on the machine to make sure things are calibrated correctly, so she'd extract little things here and there. It gives me the opportunity to think up lyric snippets and recurring symbols for her without worrying about full encompassing music videos.

I'm not afraid to admit she can fall into Mary Sue territory every so often by being everyone's friend, because it's less about "aw everyone likes her" and more about "canon is too painful rn and I need a fix-it tool to take care of these guys and give them hugs and tell them someone forgives them and cares about them and unfortunately these characters wouldn't let anyone less than a friend do that." Rest assured she's definitely not perfect and will fuck everything up on occasion :3

Miscellaneous: Whenever I play around with normal au ideas she's still working on the machine (but in a public, more ethical setting), and she's Mahiru's roommate :) Her character isn't super focused on love, but if I had to pick a cover song it'd be Stickybug II. It's very much my vibe, the lyrics fit well enough (better than most songs, at least lol) and it's one of my favorites out of my limited knowledge of unchosen Deco songs! (Edit, I've actually given her non-deco cover songs hehe)

So yeah, I hope she's not too boring without a cool crime to decipher, but I wanted to share since I was really proud of her! It took a bit of tinkering to find a way to fit her into a perfect secret-third-thing role that runs very smoothly with all of canon, so I was very excited!

barbara: *does janine have a crush on me?*

[pfhwrittes]

i have been lax with my ao3 comments recently and i need to fix this

[quietwingsinthesky]

does/did Even ever get to meet Rose????

yes, actually! Even’s original stay on the TARDIS with lasts from just a little bit after Voyage of the Damned (with one-on-one companion time with the doctor until they pick up donna) to Journey’s End, and that’s when they meet Rose. They don’t really get to bond with her until the AU elements I’m throwing in kick in at the end of that episode, that Tentoo chooses not to leave Donna alone in her amnesia and is just time lord enough to fobwatch himself to join her (and since he’s inserted as a part of her life as her friend, john smith, he doesn’t end up triggering her memories.) rose, given the choice between the other dimension alone again or a version of the doctor who is a stranger who she loves, chooses tentoo and donna. and even goes with them. because that’s what they think the doctor would want them to do, what he’s always been trying to teach them to do, to be willing to give up what makes them happy to take care of people they love.

(you know, i don’t think he thought even would leave. he lets them go. he has to. but i don’t think he considered it could happen. and i think that’s why he never visits them in the months between.)

between journey’s end and end of time, even lives with rose and tentoo.

(which. i think i implied it in that one fic but if not i’ll outright say that it’s because even. can’t get a job. and subsequently, can’t even begin to save to get their own place, whatever fake identity papers they were supplied by UNIT or other. because Spaceship Origin Reasons™️. and on top of that, that they’re also just. autistic. and so much worse at coping with this society they’ve been tossed into than they were with living on the tardis, where for a good bit the only other person they were around most of the time was also neurodivergent and accommodated them in ways they did not notice until those things disappeared.)

anyway. point is that even lives with them. the not-doctor and the girl they know all the doctor’s stories about. and they are so human. they are real in ways that they have never been before, and this does nothing to lessen even’s crush on rose or soften their loyal affection to tentoo that extends from their friendship with the doctor. the fact that even and rose have to share this secret from tentoo and donna only ties them closer. (in. ways that are probably less than healthy. like they would have been more. Normal. about it. but if even had stayed with rose instead of ended up with the master in that whole mess, that could have been the place their codependent tendencies latched onto. especially if they’d gone on with rose to join torchwood and been stuck in this AU’s version of Children of Earth with her.)

Rose teaches Even to bleach their hair proper, though they liked the pinkish-red they had already and plan to go back to that when the blonde she helps them achieve grows out again. (they. don’t get that chance.) Even is the person Rose can most easily reach out to to talk about the Doctor, with every emotion she’s been left with, anger at having come all this way just to lose him again, guilt at that anger when Tentoo is here and she loves him but he’s not the doctor except in all the ways he is and it hurts, plans for how when he visits (they never say if) that they’ll finagle a trip or two out of him on the TARDIS and confront him for taking so long to show up. Rose doesn’t know what to do when Even has meltdowns. Even doesn’t know how to comfort her when she cries about the fact that she chose this and will probably never see her mother or her other universe dad again or her half(?)-brother grow up. They watch bad movies together and try to plan for a future they didn’t expect would look like this.

And then Even has the bright idea to find a way to fix Donna’s amnesia without killing her. Which goes nowhere until they decide, hey, if one time lord couldn’t fix it, you know what’s a great idea? get involved somehow in getting the other one. the dead-but-not-anymore one.

(even voice) im only not telling rose about this because i want it to be a surprise when it definitely goes well and NOT because i know im doing something wrong that would upset her and she’d make me stop.

which. obviously. ends up with even getting scooped up into gallifrey with the master. and wilf having to tell rose what happened, all of it, much later. and her knowing that the entire time she, tentoo, and donna hang up missing posters for even that will never go anywhere. wondering if this is how mickey felt when he knew she wasn’t dead but that she might never come back, lost in time and space with the doctor and he couldn’t tell a soul. she hangs up more missing posters. even doesn’t come home.

so, yeah, they met.
