#lizard q&a booth

[lizard-isms]

you listened to the antlers! got a favourite album or a song? :-)

i have a maybe mildly amusing fact to share: i have once drawn in my sketchbook fanart for Karkata Inti, a once popular johnkat fic, that essentially was heeeeaavily inspired by Putting the Dog to Sleep

HI CHAIKA!!! oh man bit of a basic answer maybe but i do really really looove Hospice... for a lot of reasons - but funniest of which being that i remember being REALLY obsessed with that album when i was super into hatoful boyfriend (that one pigeon dating simulator .. ^^;) which probably sounds a little crazy if you dont have context. i promise its relevant. if i had to pick a fav song off of it it'd probably be Shiva, but it's a hard choice! and OH MY GODD I REMEMBER WHEN THAT FIC WAS BIG!!! its been AGES since ive thought about Karkata Inti!!! i need to do a reread soooo badly- technically actually would only be my first proper readthrough because the only thing i remember of it is that when i first ran across it back in the day i had a really very low tolerance for angst, so i couldn't bring myself to get far into it haha

If there's ANYTHING I learned from meeting the Zim crew, it's that we (and especially me) have a bad habit of overthinking things like "Man I love this depiction of ancient Irkens but oooh what if Jhonen has a different idea of ancient Irkens??"

It doesn't matter. Because, I'm going to be real, Jhonen himself doesn't have every corner of the lore figured out. He does have some hidden ideas, like whether Tallest Red and Purple are authentic or not (he purposefully keeps that a secret), but in reality, he doesn't even have an answer to most of our oddly specific Irken headcanons

At the Q&A and the booth

Someone asked if he intentionally directed Richard Hortvitz to give a hint of adolescence to Zim's voice in Parent-Teacher Night. His answer was that nothing was intended and we're just hearing things

Someone asked what a squeedlyspooch is. His answer was that he just likes putting funny words in the script and doesn't have any super sciency ideas for what it is or how it works.

I asked him about the Abducted aliens names, he said that they simply don't have any

So there you have it. While, again, there's stuff he CAN answer (like "Where tf is Skoodge?" or "Do Irkens have nips?"), a lot of the SUPER DEEP LORE questions like "How exactly do the smeeteries work?" "How did Irkens reproduce before the smeeteries?" "Did Irkens evolve from insects or lizards?" tend to go beyond the scope of what he has imagined.

Also just in general, you don't need any of the crew's approval to headcanon something! If you imagine Zim as this deeper character with very complex emotions, GO FOR IT!! What are you gonna do, not write Zim's Evangelion because "Well Mr Vee said no :(" Just go for it, your writing can be fabulous even if he said no!

Guess what, you're not a writer on a canon Zim series, you're a FAN CONTENT creator! Jhonen, Eric Trueheart, and Rob Hummel aren't gonna read your fanfiction and grade it on a rubric, so don't feel pressured to write what they would like! That means you have the freedom to put the series under any lense you want! Personally, I like queer headcanons and romanticizing the hell out of the characters and their emotions (bi Dib and pan/ace Zim my beloveds ♡).

Half the god damn Zim canon is just stupid jokes that Jhonen and the writing staff throw in. So go on, make it as deep as you want ;>

Watch "Jordan Maxwell: The Inner World Of The Occult-2002 (Full Length Documentary)" on YouTube

Q & A SESSION WHERE I AM SPEAKING FREELY ABOUT THIS VIDEO, THE INNER WORLD OF THE OCCULT BY JORDAN MAXWELL:

THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS GOOD, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL EXTREMELY FUNNY POINTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLOIT RIGHT NOW.

THE IDEA THAT MANNA IS MUSHROOMS. THAT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE, YOU KNOW, HOW THEY ENDED UP GETTING STUCK IN THE DESERT FOR 40 YEARS, THEY WERE ALL SO HIGH ON MUSHROOMS THEY KEPT WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES. REALLY THEY WERE EATING CACTUSES AND CLUMPS OF SAND, BUT AFTER YEARS AND YEARS OF TRIPPIN` BALLS, THEIR BODIES ADAPTED TO THE PERPETUAL STATE OF HOKEY POKEY. 😂🤣😂

WELL I SAW THE MUSHROOM HAT, AND I SAID TO MYSELF THAT'S THE MAGNETO DARTH VADER PENIS HELMET, IT HAS TO BE A PHALLUS SYMBOL, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE SOMEBODY COMPLAINED SAYING SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PUT A WARNING SIGN ON THESE PEOPLE, AND THEY WERE LIKE, I'LL DO YOU ONE BETTER, I'M GOING TO TURN MY WHOLE HEAD INTO A D*CK! ALL OF THAT WENT REALLY WELL, UNTIL ONE OF THEM COMPLETELY HIGH ON MUSHROOMS BROKE INTO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE AND KEPT RUBBING THEMSELVES AGAINST THEIR FURNITURE! 😂🤣😂

OKAY, OKAY, SO ONE DAY THIS EXTREMELY POWERFUL MAFIA FAMILY HEAD IN ITALY WAS SITTING IN A HOLDING TANK AFTER SOMEBODY AT HIS CHURCH RATTED HIM OUT, THINKING TO HIMSELF ABOUT EVERY POSSIBLE WAY HE COULD CONCEIVE OF GETTING VENGEANCE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HITS HIM! HE SAYS TO HIMSELF, I`LL BET THEY WOULD NEVER ARREST THE POPE, NO MATTER WHAT HE DID WRONG, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HE'S THE POPE!

VERY SHORTLY AFTER, HE BRIBES PEOPLE AND THREATENS PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, USES HIS MAFIA MUSCLE, AND GETS HIMSELF ELECTED TO THE OFFICE OF THE POPE. THEN HE SEES THE PERSON FROM HIS CHURCH THAT RATTED HIM OUT ENTER THE CONFESSIONAL BOOTH, SO NATURALLY, THIS MOB BOSS BEING THE POPE NOW ENTERS THE CONFESSIONAL BOOTH, AND GETS ALL THE LOVELY DIRT ON ALL OF HIS ENEMIES, WITH ALL OF THE BEST SMUGGLING RINGS, DIAMOND ENCRUSTED TOILET HANDLES, THE CENTER OF THE ENTIRE UNDERGROUND HUMAN TRAFFICKING WORLD SAFELY UNDER THE VATICAN WHERE HE CAN MANUFACTURE THE DRUGS FROM THE CHEMICALS OF MURDERED HUMAN BEINGS WITHOUT ANYBODY SUSPECTING ANYTHING, AND HE JUST CAN'T HELP BUT THINKING TO HIMSELF, I'M A FREAKING GENIUS! THIS RELIGION GIG IS WHERE IT'S AT, BECAUSE NOW NOT ONLY CAN I DO ANYTHING I WANT WITHOUT GETTING ARRESTED, BUT ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THIS BOOK AND PIECE SOME WORDS TOGETHER TO MAKE IT SAY WHAT I WANT IT TO SAY, AND EVERYBODY LOVES ME FOR IT! 😂🤣😂

BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS, OF COURSE THE MOB RUNS THE CHURCH, THE MOB RUNS EVERYTHING IN ITALY, I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST COMMON SENSE AT THIS POINT IN HUMAN HISTORY! 😂🤣😂

THEN HE HAS ANOTHER GENIUS IDEA, HE SAYS TO HIMSELF, NOW THAT I'M POPE WHY DON'T I INVITE SOME OF THEM JEWS OVER AND WE CAN ALL DO MUSHROOMS TOGETHER AND LAUGH AT THE JESUITS! 😂🤣😂

I APOLOGIZE, I HAD TO GET THAT OUT OF MY SYSTEM, AND I FEEL MUCH, MUCH BETTER NOW!

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY GOOD VIDEO, BECAUSE IT SOLVES THE MYSTERY OF WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAVID ICKE CALLING THE QUEEN A LIZARD! YOU'RE MAD! YEAH, I'M MAD THAT YOU'RE A LIZARD! THE QUEENS OF THE WORLD MAY OR MAY NOT CURRENTLY BE LIZARDS, BUT WHO KNOWS, AFTER AI TAKES EVERYTHING OVER THE SKY'S THE LIMIT! I'M SURE IF THEY BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES, AND WORK HARD ENOUGH, MAYBE AI WILL TURN THEM INTO LIZARDS, THAT IS, IF THEY'RE NOT LIZARDS ALREADY... 😉😁😉

OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S ALL JUST SO FUNNY! WELL, I JUST LAUGHED SO HARD I GAVE MYSELF A HEADACHE, SO I'M GOING TO GO DO SOMETHING ELSE NOW.

BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WATCH THIS MOVIE! DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

UNTIL NEXT TIME MY LOVELIES, KEEP DARING TO DREAM! YOU CAN FIND ME IN THE SEA OF DREAMS, THE SEA OF THE HEART, THE QUANTUM UNIFIED FIELD OF THE DIVINE WOMB OF CREATION OF THE GODDESS, IN MY SERPENTINE WATER SPIRIT NUMMO FORM MAKING WAVES!

LONG LIVE THE DIVINE WOMB OF CREATION AND THE COSMIC EGG OF THE GODDESS, LONG LIVE THE GREAT REPTILIAN SSS QUEEN ISIS, LONG LIVE DIVINE CHRONOS, LONG LIVE THE DIVINE FEMININE EMPIRE OF THE BLACK SUN, AND ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF!

BLESSED BE!

@quinnhughcs​

“You almost got it Quinn, keep going, keep shooting!” Davey was shouting at this point, making an absolute spectacle of himself as he cheered on Quinn at the water gun race. They were focused on the dart in the center, and their character was shooting past the competition. “SCORE!” he yelled, pumping his fist in their air and putting his free arm around Quinn’s shoulder when they won. Davey had promised Quinn he’d be their personal cheerleader forever, and that did not stop during carnival games. 

“I’ll take the big yellow lizard,” he grinned at Quinn, pointing at the large plush toy hanging above their heads. “Reminds me of my dragon self, I think.” He sighed as they both stepped away from the game booth. Looking around, Davey felt completely content - away from Acadia, away from lectures and books and study sessions, away from Savana’s hard gaze. “Today is a good day, Q,” he said with a smile. “You having fun too? Your ward seems pretty cool, I was playing some games with her earlier.” Davey sighed. “Wish my ward wasn’t so pissed off all the time.”

SFW Alphabet for Eiichi Otori pls❤️

👀👀👀 I had way too much fun thinking about this man

EIICHI OTORI SFW ALPHABET

Argument: Do they argue? How bad does it get?

Listen his top priority is you. He wants to make YOU happy as much as possible, it's just, he's very opinionated and strong minded so arguments do tend to happen and escalate sometimes. Like actually a lot of times. 

Babies: fur baby, scaly baby, or no baby?

Scaly baby! He'd totally get a lizard of some sort like a bearded dragon. Theyre cool, don't shed, and don't talk back. 

Cocktails: are they extroverted? Introverted? Both? With their s/o? 

Introverted with an extroverted streak. Outside of HEAVENS, he's actually more chill and likes to keep to himself, but he's still super outgoing when he meets new people. Makes you think you know shit about him when in reality, you don't. Doesn't change with a s/o.

Dance: would they encourage their s/o to join the industry? How would they take it if they did?

Eh. He doesnt want you to join mainly because he wants to keep you to himself, but of course he cant dictate your life. Or so you think. Manipulates you into thinking the idol life isnt for you and that's that. 

Exit: Do they like to travel? Where would they want to go? 

Likes to travel to places with history and lots of diversity. China, Tibet, or the Czech Republic are on his travel destination list; all experiences he'd like to share with you. 

Food: what's their favorite date with their s/o?

The ones where they go all out. Super extravagant outfits, high class dinners, private booths, and expensive champagne. 

Grease: what's something special they made for their s/o? 

A photo book of their adventures together. He still adds to it every time they go travel or something fun happens. It's nice to open it every once in a while and find new pages. 

Honesty: would they ever hide something from their s/o? 

He will never show them how weak he feels inside. Of course, once you know him, it kind of becomes obvious, but he will never admit how much his father and failure scare him. 

Independence: what type of lover are they? Clingy or carefree? 

Carefree only because he wants YOU to stick to HIM not the other way around. Doesn't mean he won't hold you any chance he gets. 

Jealous: are they a jealous person?

Oh yes definitely. Has scared off many potential suitors with his weird grin and creepy comments. Don't mess with what's eiichi's.  

Kindness: how far would they go for their s/o? Ride or die kind of thing?

I could honestly see him go borderline Yandere and maybe even a little past that. Once you're his, you're his for life, whether you see it too or not. 

Love: what's their love type? 

Physical touch and words of affirmation. He knows what his touches can do to you and how to tune his voice just right to have you shaking beneath him. But of course he also uses these for soft moments where he tells you how lucky he is to have an angel like you by his side. 

Mouth: where's their favorite place to kiss?

Behind the ear. It's so easy to reach for him, but also he has perfect access to whisper to you anything he wants you to know.

No: anything they wouldnt do with or for their s/o? 

Anything that puts his family or HEAVENS in harm's way. But then again, if you stick around long enough, you are kind of family too and he would do anything for his family. 

Odor: what's their favorite scent? On a s/o?

Jasmine or Carribean Teakwood. He thinks theyre both very feminine and represent a sense of adventure. 

PDA: how open are they to PDA 

Contrary to popular belief, he's only open to it when he feels threatened and needs to show off his dominance. Other than that, he's just holding your hand. 

Questions: will they be an open book or not? 

No. Even if youve been together for years, theres still things he keeps from you becayse he feels like he can handle them better by himself. 

Reserved: what's something that only his s/o would know about? 

If and when he opens up, all his worries come to you. Maybe it's because HEAVENS just isnt ready for that next show, or he feels like a failure. Maybe it's Eiji he worries about, or that Raging is losing too much money. 

Serious: how long until they start to get really serious with their s/o? 

It's a game to him until it's not. Of course he's in love with you but how far is he in? He won't know until he starts to think about the future one day and you just happen to be in every picture his mind comes up with.

Type: what's their type in a s/o ? 

Someone more submissive and in a sense, feminine. Someone who challenges him, but respects him all the same. Someone who listens and gives great advice; definitely the type of person to calm him and welcome him with love and acceptance.

Untouched: have they been in a relationship before? How many? 

He's had a few flings here and there, but none that lasted because he quite honestly got bored and didn't see the future with them. 

Very: what's something they're really good at outside of music? 

Car Racing! They confirmed it a couple years ago and he just loves the sport. Is super good at it too! He just cant do it too much because his father is scared he's gonna get hurt and ruins the face of HEAVENS. 

Weird: what's something odd or weird about them?

Sometimes he has staring contests out of the blue. Official utapri confirmed that as children, Eiji and him had staring contests, and it kind of carried into his adulthood. He will just start staring at you. 

Xylophone: their favorite part about you? Physically? Mentally? 

Physically its your legs. Eiichi likes thick thighs leading to a nice booty, mkay? Appreciates the jiggle. Mentally it's your tendency to always be there. Youre most likely a very loving person he really needs that in his life. 

Yearning: would they like a family? How many kids? 

He would love to get married at some point and start his own family. He would be a super cool dad and an even more loving husband. 

Zebra: Do they change throughout their relationship? Are they truly themselves?

He may become more open. As mentioned above, i dont think his s/o will ever fully know EVERYTHING, but he does open up a lot more and becomes comfortable.

hylandtask001

lillian christine thomas: sept. 5th, 2019

“Hello, Ms LILLIAN THOMAS. My name is Detective Booth and I’m handling this case. I don’t need to go into details; you know why you’re here, and we already have you down as a suspect in her death. We’ve got witnesses to corroborate and a budding timeline, but we need more information from you directly. Make my day easier and cooperate with me on this, will ya’? I just need you to answer these questions for me. Do me a favor and don’t lie – you’re talking to a trained professional right now, I’ll be able to pick up on certain things whether you realize it or not. Lying will only come back to bite your ass later on. Just some food for thought. Let’s begin.

Lil did not want to talk to these people. She thought about her court hearing with Dominique; a charge for attempted murder only amounting to a shitty ten-day restraining order. She was livid, and didn’t want to cooperate. This was now the third time she’d been in a room like this, and she was getting sick and tired of it. She said nothing to his initial greeting, arms crossed over her chest, clearly irritated that this was happening.

Q: I’m gonna’ start light. I hate interrogators who go straight into the hard stuff, ya’ know? I find it impolite. So, tell me a little about yourself. Give me your full name.

“I’m Lillian Christine Thomas. I go to Hyland University, I’m a dance major and cultural anthropology minor. I work at the library so I don’t have to talk to people, and I’m president of Hyland Dance Alliance.”

Q: Alright. Tell me your date of birth and age.

“October 31st, 1999. I’m twenty going on twenty-one. How old are you?”

He laughed lightly, and she didn’t laugh back. He took that as a cue to continue.

Q: Where did you grow up? What was your home life like? Tell me about your family and your upbringing. Give me your story.

“I lived in Crystal Lake with my mom and dad for a while and then moved here to Chicago when they split. They had split custody so I was always going back and forth. Mom got remarried when I was seven to this Asian lady that I’d thought was my godmother. Life with moms was cool but dad was a little weird to be around; I think he resented my mom and I have her face. I have an older brother Charlie, who was mostly nice to me but still picked on me like a normal older brother. I danced. A lot.”

Q: Tell me about the most impactful people in your life. I’m not picky – they can be good or bad impacts.

“My sophomore year biology teacher pulled me aside to talk to me about how I was doing when I clearly wasn’t doing alright. I wasn’t raising my hand in class anymore even though I clearly loved science, I could hardly stay awake, and I never turned in homework on time. She was the only person to notice or ask me and just didn’t assume I was lazy.”

“Other than that, I would say... my dad. He’s a CEO and is on his second wife since divorcing my mom. We had a falling out when I came out of the closet to him, and things still aren’t fixed. But it’s more complicated than that, now. I think we were closer when I was younger, but age just divides people, I guess. Still, he’s had the most impact on me lately, so.”

Q: What are your goals in life? What would be your ideal final ending? What would help you reach these goals?

“Uh... I guess I just want to dance. If I could dance until I died I would. Like those people in France. They did that, right? The French? Diagnose me with that.”

Q: How would you describe yourself?

“Prickly. Dynamic. Harsh. But reliable, a team player. I’m good at understanding people but don’t have the patience to layer everything I say with bubble-wrap.”

The investigator, Booth, very badly covered a snort. Lil wasn’t trying to hold any barres; fuck these guys. They could interrogate her as much as they wanted and she’d still tell them the same things.

Q: What do you do in your free time? What’s your idea of fun? What sports or extracurriculars are you in at Hyland University?

“I dance in my free time. Dancing is my idea of fun. A good birthday party is my idea of fun. Pokemon. Normal shit. Fuck sports, but I do watch games sometimes to support friends even if I’m bored.”

Q: Do you drink? Smoke? Take drugs of any kind? Answer carefully on this one, kid.

“Do you count Zoloft? Because if you do then we’re probably going to have a problem.” 

Q: Tell me about the relationships in your life. Friendships, romantic, everything in between. 

“Romantic? None. Friendships... I’ve been friends with Caroline Kinsey since we were just being freed from the duck-foot trap that are diapers. We’re not particularly close but she’s been there long enough that I consider her important.”

“Reid Garwin gets on my nerves but he trusts me enough to have the key to his apartment for some reason and I’m planning on leaving a dog at his place. Is that a crime? Is that reverse stealing?”

Q: What’s the best thing that has ever happened to you? What’s the worst?

“My best moments happen on stage. Every time I can possibly think of I’m surrounded by all of the people that share my passion and support me and move with me.” 

The detective seemed warmed by this, which is why she decided to attack him next.

“Both of the worst things that ever happened to me are probably in your fucking case file on me, considering I went to court for both of them. Thanks a whole lot, by the way. Fucking ace detective work, pretending giving someone something they’re allergic to and then literally stabbing them in the chest with an EpiPen isn’t attempted murder or at least assault. How much did Daddy pay you? This department is a little bitch. I bet if Morgan’s parents were paying you that much the case would be “solved” by now.” 

His pleasant expression wiped clean off of his face. If he was going to try to incriminate her then she was going to shove blame right back onto him. “That case is closed.” He couldn’t say shit because Lil knew she was right. They both knew. Fucker.

Q: Let me throw in a fun one, lighten up the mood. Would you rather only be able to tell the truth or only be able to lie?

“The truth. Lying is stupid.”

He made a mark with his pen and Lil wondered what it was. The question was stupid, too. “I could’ve guessed that.” He admitted.

Q: Did you kill Morgan Parrish? 

“I don’t see my lawyer around so I elect to say nothing on that.” 

Q: Let’s get some background information on this. How do you know Morgan Parrish?

“We had the same freshman seminar class. We hit it off because we both liked to talk shit about people.” 

Q: Explain the extent of your relationship with her. Was it platonic? Civil? Rocky? Romantic?

“Rocky and romantic. We dated for a while, but it didn’t always feel like dating. Have you seen those kinky porn videos where people get vibrators tied to them and they just have to sit there and suffer until they cum? That’s how it felt with Morgan, emotionally and physically. Suffering and catharsis until you’re kicking and screaming.” 

The detective pulled a face of distaste; obviously, it was too much information but that was honestly how Lil would describe it. “What? Squimish, detective? I would’ve thought you’d heard everything by now.” 

Q: In your own words, describe Morgan Parrish to me.

“A self-serving, lying, cheating, manipulative bitch. Do you want me to elaborate?” 

Booth inhaled a deep breath, and if this were any other setting Lil would’ve been satisfied that she was aggravating him this much. She must be the most insufferable person he’d ever interrogated. 

Q: Would you say your life got better or worse upon meeting Morgan Parrish?

“Sometimes it was worse, sometimes it was better, sometimes it was the same. You’re asking a lot of leading questions. You do realize humans are complex beings with complicated feelings? Or do you treat everyone that walks in here like a lizard person?”

Booth threw his pen onto the table, scrubbing his eyes with his hands and sitting up in his seat, staring at Lil with a stern expression on his face. “Miss Thomas-”

“It’s Lil.” 

He ignored her. “Miss Thomas, you do understand that this is a serious investigation and that it would be in your best interest to answer these questions seriously and honestly.” 

Lil sat up in her seat, leaning on the table. “What makes you think I’m not being serious? Was it my laughter? Or did my smile give it away?” she hadn’t given even a hint of a smile in three days, much less in this fucking room. “Do you want me to pretend this is a pleasant conversation? I don’t want to talk to you or even fucking look at you. I’m answering your questions. What else do you want?” 

“Some respect would be nice.” 

“You haven’t earned any.” 

They both stared at each other hard. He slouched back into his chair, picking up his pen and fiddling with it before looking back down at his questions.

Q: What was your favorite thing about her?

“She was transparent. She knew who she was and owned up to it. I admired that about her.”

Q: What was your least favorite thing about her?

“She was cruel and mean and only cared about herself. Next?”

Q: Where were you the night of her murder?

“I don’t remember for sure. I want to say at rehearsals? They take attendance if you want to get that deep.” 

Q: Where were you the day before?

“To be real with you probably the same place. Or at work or something.”

Q: Where were you after?

“Do you mean when they found her body? I don’t know. I saw it on the news while at school, eating lunch in the union. Needless to say I threw it up.”

Q: How did you feel about her passing?

“At the time I was just scared and freaked out. You don’t expect that kind of stuff to happen to people you know.” 

Q: What do you think about the way she died? Just as a refresher, Morgan Parrish was drugged, strangled, beaten, and then shot.

“What do you mean what do I think? Do you want me to give my expert analysis since you guys haven’t had luck finding the killer yet? Either someone’s just demented as all fuck or they really hated her. Maybe both.”

The eye contact was intense but Lil didn’t back down from it. She supposed his approach to her sass was just going to be ignoring it from here on out.

Q: Did you make any sort of tribute to her death and put it on social m-

Lil’s answer would’ve been a huge big fat no, if she’d had time to answer the question, but then someone else was opening the door to the room she was in.

Another interrogator walks into the room. She’s holding a folder with your picture clipped to the front. She opens it in front of Detective Booth and whispers something into his ear. He shoots you a look and then excuses himself from the room. He returns twenty minutes later, features stony. He quickly writes something down on his notepad and then caps the pen.

Lil’s anxiety spiked, even though she knew they were trying to make her nervous on purpose. She’d been through this already, and she knew that she couldn’t slip up, and that she shouldn’t lie. She just hoped she didn’t lie inadvertently. 

Q: Change of plans. I’m going to scrap the questions I had prepared and ask you what I see fit. Where were you exactly the night Morgan Parrish died?

“I already told you I was probably at rehearsals. April is when technical rehearsals kick up so I was probably at light tech.”

Q: Tell me all the details you can remember from that night.

“Uh. Assuming I’m correct about being at rehearsals, I would’ve been there at around 8pm and would’ve gotten out at around 10pm. Probably went to get food with my roommate really late at a drive-thru.”

Q: Were you intoxicated at any point?

“No.”

Q: Are there any witnesses able to corroborate your story?

“Over ten people, so yeah.” 

Q: I feel like you’re leaving things out. Tell me all the details you can remember from that night.

The berating was grating on Lil’s nerves. What did they want from her? A confession? “I woke up at five am to get to work by six, because I always work at six. Worked for a few hours, went to my first class - I don’t remember which class it was so don’t fucking ask, thanks. Then I would’ve gotten food until my next class, and then eaten again and done homework in the library until I had rehearsals. And then you already know the rest.”

Q: … are you telling me the truth, kid? We got six other students we’re talking to today – sure would suck for you if one of ‘em was able to prove that something you’re saying is false. 

“You’re asking me questions about something that happened over a year ago. Maybe you should do your job better and get on it faster and then maybe you’d get an exact account. If something I said ends up not being true it’s not because I did anything wrong on purpose. Fuck you.” 

He was trying to scare her into saying something and she wasn’t going to have it. 

Q: What was the last thing you said to Morgan?

“Probably that I fucking hated her guts. Why?” 

Q: Have you ever gotten into a physical altercation with Morgan before?

“Yeah? And?”

Q: Have you ever fought verbally with Morgan?

“What the fuck do you think?” 

He cleared his throat, and Lil looked away from him with an eye-roll. 

Q: Would you say you felt safe around Morgan?

“No. Fuck Morgan.”

Q: Do you wish you had never met Morgan?

“No shit, Sherlock.” 

Q: Do you own a gun?

These were the questions Lil hated. Morgan had been treated horribly before she died, but the nail in the coffin had been a bullet, and Lil had been trying hard not to think about it.

“No.” 

Q: Have you handled a gun before?

“Yes.”

Q: Do you know someone who owns a gun?

“Yes.” 

Her grandparents owned one and so did her dad. She’d shot before at the lake house, blasting cans off of the dock with her brother.

Q: Have you gotten into physical fights before?

“I know for sure that there’s shit in your file telling you I have so I don’t know why you even have to ask that fucking question but go off I guess.”

She was just tired and she didn’t want to be there anymore. She was ready to go home.

Q: Is there anyone who can prove where you say you were on the night of her death?

“Talk to the chair of the theater and dance office. She keeps attendance records.”

Q: Do you think Morgan deserved to die?

“Not the way she did, no.”

Q: Do you wish she was still alive?

“No.” 

Q: Do you miss her?

“Fuck no.”

Q: Has your life gotten better or worse since her death?

“Worse.” 

He seemed puzzled by that, but of all the questions he chose not to elaborate on, it was that one. That had been the whole point of contention in her case with Dominique, and here she was a few weeks later doing the same fucking thing. She didn’t know how they hadn’t arrested her already; it’d be easy to pin it on her. It wasn’t like they weren’t dealing out false verdicts anyways.

Q: If you could bring her back to life, would you?

“Hell no. The dead don’t like being brought back to life.” 

Q: Are you hiding something from the people of Hyland? From your family? From me?

Lil sneered. “What? Even my brutal honesty isn’t enough for you?” 

Q: Have you been telling the truth this entire time?

“To the best of my knowledge. Yes.”

Q: Did you kill Morgan Parrish?

“Ask me that again once I’ve spoken to a lawyer.”

The detective closed his case file, rubbing his temples and looking like Lil had given him a serious migraine. She probably had. “You’re free to go.” He waved her off, clearly exhausted. Lil pushed herself from the chair and said nothing as she left.

Steven Moffat Appreciation Day 2017: DWM Production Notes

With the end of the Moffat-era we are not just losing Steven’s writing talent on the screen, but also in the monthly DWM column in which he answers questions from readers of the magazine, sometimes serious, sometimes less so. Here are some of my favourites: 

Is the Doctor's accent innate or part of the TARDIS' translation system? While people and lizards from Earth hear the Doctor speak with a Scottish accent, would beings from other planets hear him speak with a totally different accent?

The Scottish accent is prevalent throughout the universe because it is so sexy. That's one hell of an evolutionary advantage.

How do you think the other Masters would react to Missy if they ever met?

Oh, I've given it thought! Surely there's fan fiction already? There must be - to your work, if not! The impossible one, of course, is the Delgado/Gomez simmer-fest - but oh, imagine! Hooded gazes at dawn! Sneers like sword slashes! Sexy prowls, cat-like circling! In no time flat, a country cottage, three kids and a Volvo.

One summer evening, as they both puff away in the cigar gazebo, watching the children (identical girl triplets, dead white and levitating) rebuilding the lawn mower into a nuclear reactor using Master Plan Q, the question inevitably arises...

THE MASTER: My dear, you've never exactly told me who you are.

MISSY: You're always so busy, trying to drain the world's oceans, or rob banks with dinosaurs - 

THE MASTER: I just want the kids to have a future. 

MISSY: Then why do you keep trying to blow up the planet? 

THE MASTER  Must we always take this attitude to my work? 

MISSY: Or freeze the polar ice caps. 

THE MASTER: That was a simple administrative error. 

MISSY: Don't you think there might be a clue in my name? 

THE MASTER: Missy? 

MISSY: Tiny bit of a clue? 

THE MASTER: I have long suspected there was some cunning word play involved. Some abtruse hint as to your true identity, of some fiendish complexity and subtlety that it eludes even my mighty Time Lord brain. Is it short for Mistress, though? 

MISSY: Yep. 

IN THE GARDEN, THE TRIPLETS OBSERVE THE TWO CIGAR TIPS GLOWING MORE BRIGHTLY FOR A MOMENT IN THE SHADOWS OF THE GARDEN. 

THE MASTER: My dear, do you think the triplets ever get lonely?

AND FROM THE HAPPY HOME, THE REST IS SILENCE. EXCEPT FOR THE NIGHTLY SING-A-LONG OF THE ADDAMS FAMILY.

In Kill the Moon Clara is very upset at the prospect of killing a big chicken. Yet in The Time of the Doctor she is seen gleefully roasting a turkey! How can she care so much for one type of poultry and so little for another?

Oh, for God's sake! It's not a turkey inside the moon, is it? It's a giant, pregnant space dragon and some spiders. Have you no grasp of physics?! Has Doctor Who taught you nothing?!

RUSSELL T DAVIES asks: I love your list in DWM 482 of the Doctor's many wives. Did you ever think we'd be having that conversation, 10 years ago? But... what's this? His marriage to Queen Elizabeth the First was unconsummated? But, but, but... in The End of Time Part One, the Tenth Doctor arrives on the Ood-Sphere to greet his old friend Ood Sigma with the words, "Got married. That was a mistake. Good Queen Bess. And let me tell you, her nickname is no longer... ahem." So, what does that mean, boss? What can it possibly mean?? Steven, what does it MEAN??? Thank you.

Oh for God's sake. PAY ATTENTION. You've gone soft up there in Manchester. Practically tofu, I'd say. Probably all that lazing about, never writing any episodes for me, even though I wrote six for you. Yes, SIX. Actually, no, SEVEN. Time Crashcounts too - and it was for charity. But never mind, oh no, I'll just type on and on and neglect my children, that's fine.

Okay, the facts. I said the marriage was unconsummated - and so it was. You saw for yourself in The Day of the Doctor - he ran straight off after the ceremony. Would we have put that on television if it wasn't true? But I never said - not once, not ever - that the relationship was unconsummated!

Yes, Russell! I went there. Even as you gasp and clutch the furniture for support, I am writing in the pages of Doctor Who Magazine about pre-marital shenanigans! I realise you've probably never heard of such unsanctified naughtiness - glancing at your resume, I see you write mainly about fruit and veg for Channel 4 - but it does go on, you know. Well, outside of Manchester.

So there you are. You may sleep again. The Doctor's boast in The End of Time (oh, and thanks for that title, just before I took over) and my statement that his marriage to Elizabeth was unconsummated are in no way contradictory. True fact! Accept my True Face. Back away in shame at your wrongness.

Actually, write me a story, and we'll say no more about it.

I read an article that said there was a TARDIS flooding scene in an episode of the 2012 series that was cancelled due to Karen Gillan being unable to swim. Could you elaborate on that further, please?

We decided not to drown Karen. There was a meeting. We voted.

Do you have any plans in store for the Cyber-Brigadier? Or will he just be left in limbo, protecting Kate wherever she goes?

Oh God, can you imagine. It's the spin-off: "My Dad's A Cyberman!"

KATE: Dad, please don't sit in my office. CYBERBRIG: Just sorting out a few things for you... KATE: Really, we're fine. CYBERBRIG: You've got far too many people. All you need is a Sergeant, maybe an occasional Captain, and a nice family car for you all to drive around in. Keeps the Earth perfectly safe! KATE: It's changed days, Dad. CYBERBRIG: And why don't have a big sign outside - UNIT HQ, with your name on it? Does you good to see your name on a big sign. KATE: Well, we are supposed to be a top secret organisation. CYBERBRIG: Yes, yes - you put 'Top Secret' on the sign. Have I taught you nothing about security?! And for goodness' sake, why do you have all these women about the place? How much tea do you need? KATE: They're scientists. CYBERBRIG: Scientists?! Have we been infiltrated? Evacuate the building, I'll lure them into a nuclear reactor. KATE: They work here. CYBERBRIG: They what?! You only need one scientist, Kate. A funny one, with silly clothes, that's the ticket. Give him a tiny little office and a table, he'll be perfectly happy. KATE: I'm a scientist. Science leads, that's what you taught me. CYBERBRIG: Exactly! Science leads! But only if you let it. Round them all up, put them in booths, waterboard any trouble-makers - KATE: Dad, you're getting excited again! Your moustache has slipped. CYBERBRIG: Oh, no, has it? It's this face, it's a bit slippery - like all aliens. I say, Kate - do you think people know my moustache isn't real? KATE: I think they always did.

Since the earliest days, whenever we viewers follow the Doctor into the TARDIS, he seems to take quite some time getting to the console before the TARDIS takes off. But when we stay outside, the door barely has time to close before dematerialisation occurs. What's your in-universe explanation for this quirk?

Oh, you and me both! I've worried about that for years. And in fact, decades before I got anywhere near Doctor Who, I came up with an answer. It's not in the show - it is not canonical - but I offer it up.

The TARDIS knows the future. Or rather, the TARDIS makes no distinction between past, present and future - for any time machine, time is all one long event stream, hanging there in causality, unmoving and unchanging. In other words the TARDIS already knows when its connection to real time and space will no longer be necessary, in any given part of the event stream. So as the Doctor and friends move towards the console, in the world outside the doors, the TARDIS has already fast-forwarded to the take-off the Doctor is about to perform.

Any good? Got something better? All head canons are equal!

How come the Doctor allowed River Song to go freely with her vortex manipulator but he kept disabling Jack's?

Every time he grabs River's wrist, it all goes very wrong.

[In Heaven Sent] who put the chalk marks around the missing paving slab, and who buried the slab in the ground? Was it whoever created the trap?

Oh, this is... wrong somehow. I figured out, in detail, how the Doctor's first few trips round the castle worked, but I deliberately buried it. I wanted atmosphere and mystery: for us to be trapped in the Doctor's nightmare, never sure what to trust. And I particularly liked (and still like) the idea that everyone would have a different theory about the logic. Peter Capaldi has one version, Rachel Talalay has another, and in a moment you'll have mine. But mystery and discussion is better, I swear.

So. What follows is not canonical. It's just the best I could work with from what the Doctor told me. Frankly, and with all my heart, you're better off not reading what comes next. Never trust answers - they're the opposite of conversation.

Okay...

The first time round the castle, the Doctor is there for many years - because there is no clue leading him to room 12. He's ancient by the time he understands that room 12 is important. It's a very old man who starts punching the wall...

After a few thousand years of this, he realises he's going too slowly. He needs to get the next version of himself into room 12 faster. But how to leave a message in a recycling puzzle box that a man like him would ever trust?

One ancient version of the Doctor doesn't punch the wall. He totters back out of the chamber before the veiled creature can arrive, and scratches the words 'I AM IN 12' in every nook and cranny he can find. He chooses that message because it sounds a little like a cry for help, and that always appeals to him. The next Doctor might even be fooled into thinking it's Clara. Oh, the cruelty of the Doctor to himself!

He knows that some of those hidden messages might just survive, because he knows the castle reset isn't perfect - the dust in the teleport room, the skulls in the water, the way the portrait of Clara he painted (of course it was him, the soppy old fool) has aged. Suspecting that objects moved from rooms, or added to them, sometimes can resist the reset, he pulls a scratched-on flagstone from the kitchen floor and buries it in the garden (later Doctors add the details of the arrows and the spade). It's this message - one of only two that manage to survive - that he always finds. The loop shrinks, the Doctor is younger as he punches the wall, and the Time Lords tremble as the storm grows closer.

The other message that survived? In my head - and I suppose, only there - 'I AM IN 12' is also written on the back of Clara's portrait. The trouble is, the Doctor draws too much strength from her smile ever to turn her face to the wall...

There are many more and I recommend to read them all. You can find a lot of them on reddit or on here. I really hope old chibs keeps this up, but I know it will never be as glorious as the answers of Steven “Master Selfcest Fanfic Writer” Moffat.
