Established saxteen. Implied things 👁👄👁

Just a quiet day at the Temple Nobles until-

"THETA. JOHN. SIGMA!"

Ope- well, that lasted about 30 seconds. I guess that's what happens when you marry your best enemy.

"COME HERE! RIGHT NOW!"

Sitting down in the living room, the entire family froze, turning to look at the Doctor whose eyes are now massive with terror. He hasn't used that tone with him in such a long time... it frightened him completely. Without a seconds hesitation, one by one, they get up to leave, Rose giving him a 'Oooooh' look as she left and Donna whispering, "What did you do?"

"I have no idea.."

"Oh that's even worse." Shaun popped in, before immediately popping back out, deciding the kitchen needed cleaning all of a sudden, and Sylvia thought 3 pm was a great time to start making dinner. She had no clue what was going on but knew one thing.

"John?? Really?"

He shrugs and swallows as he very slowly starts up the steps, first giving Wilfred a 'See you later... maybe at my funeral.' Glance in which the older man saluted him goodbye.

Begining to play with his fingers, his head lowered like a cowarding dog, knowing it's done something wrong and now had to face the consequences. Except that was the issue. He had no clue what he had done.

Standing at the top of the stairs, his husbands arms were crossed, glaring at him with every step he took, looking as if he'd shove him back down them at the any moments notice.

Giving him such big puppydog eyes, the Doctor let out a tiny whimper. "...yes?"

Within an instant, the mans face softened into a small smile, a smirk actually, proud of himself for hummiliating him. Oh, what a munipulative bastard. "Hello dear."

"Uh...hi?"

He smiled more innocently, letting out a soft giglgle. "Did you eat today?"

"Y...yeah?"

Taking his hands, he swayed softly. "Do you want to take a bubble bath with me?"

"So... im not going to face impending doom..?"

"What are you talking about?" Obviously he was gaslighting him. But oh the Doctor made it so easy.. and so FUN.

"Im not ....introuble?" He asks, glancing at their hands and then up to his face, trying to figure out what game he was playing at.

"Nu-uh."

A rush of relief washed over him, only to immediately become confused again. "Wait.. why did you call me John? My middle names not john.."

The master shrugged, giggling more to see just how flustard he could make him with just 7 words. "Now it is. Sooo... Bath??"

Rolling his eyes, The Doctor sighed but nodded. "Yes...but you're still a jerk."

"Yeah yeah, love you too. I want the salts in it!"

"Oh is your back hurting again?"

"No, but its about too-"

"Wha-? Oh. OH. Okay!"

Tag treats <3

What does Devon think of the others?

(My main account above cuz im too lazy to wait)

[maximotts]

I love having friends I can bother while I’m high out of my mind

[kalpeavaris]

Question; How would Echo and his Minions/Team react to Alice? How would Alice react to Echo's Congregation?

Echo would most likely be interested in Alice since it's after the Absolute Solvers OG code to 'repair' itself - so any Solver User (and Host) is a potential goal it could use.

Motte & Y would most likely keep their distance to Alice since she seems just as unhinged as Echo - at another level, but still unhinged and difficult to analyse/predict.

For Alice... I'd say she'd be curious. Kind of a "you guys are fucking weird. I wanna know watcha doing" curiosity that would drive her to figure out what the hell is going on. And I mean... one can always use "friends" with higher power, so why not assume a neutral/friendly peace treaty for now?

[hopelesslygaysstuff]

Hellooo lil butterbean in my phone, I’m sorry people were being weird with you yesterday apparently, have a hug instead 💖

This is me hugging u btw

[doverstar]

I will be re-reading Lost and Rewritten at some point and potentially drawing a shitton of fanart for it ✨

that fic made me feel things back when I first read it and I died three times /pos

It heavily influenced my headcanon that the Eleventh Doctor smells like a library, halfway between dusty books and a fireplace with a hint of wool

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I love that description of how the Doctor smells. Absolutely agreed! Whatta guy. Can't wait to see what you draw. Thank you!

🎲👀

random number generator pulled up 16: kiss in the rain! avast!!! surprise tenwilf be upon thee!!!!

They all have someone else, the Doctor tells Wilf, and he knows as he says it that he’s including Wilf in that as well. He doesn’t know if this will be goodbye forever. It scares him.

The Doctor loses because he loves. That’s how it’ll always be, but still, he holds on as long as he can. If Wilf will look to the stars for him, then he can bear to look back.

He can kiss him as the rain disguises tears. He can even pretend to be surprised when Wilf answers the apology of it with forgiveness, never faltering.

[send a number for a kiss or a 🎲 to randomly select one]

Turns out I'm unable to watch DW without making a post about it, so here we go:

Doctor Who: The End Of Time - Part One (special) - thoughts

Aww granddad again, I like that guy

Who's that randomly appeared woman

the TARDIS in the vitrage doesn't surprise me one bit

Also who's that manically laughing guy?

Love DW theme music

10th is so unhinged. Still too arrogant for me tho.

This is bad. This is very, very bad.

Not that bitch Master again. Those women are so stupid. Let him be fucking dead.

Go Lucy

"hair all sticky-uppy" Gramps is great😂

The new Master is scary. He eats people. That's not very kind of him.

And now they're scenting each other. Fucking amazing.

This oldster club is adorable

He's so sad and cute 😭😭😭 I wanna squeeze him so bad /affectionate

How is the Master so overpowered all of a sudden, liked him way more when he was just a bloke

The king/president/idk the black man and his daughter have erotic energy and I don't like it, genuinely thought they were married at first.

The Master should learn how to eat

Aren't those the same stables from the baloon special?

The Master is a fucking madman. What is he even thinking? Why would he put his face on all people?

This shit's super scary

THE TIME LORDS AREN'T ALL DEAD?!

Um.. So.. That was something. I hope it ends well. I'm definitely not comfortable watching it tho.

[universe-on-her-shoulders]

OK, so, uh, new idea of prompt!

The Spy Master (at a point before or after being trapped in the gold tooth in his timeline) arrives at a point in time when Fourteen has already settled down. His brain wrestles, once again, with a lot of conflicted feelings seeing the Doctor happy.

This was… delicious.

The Master lay back on his picnic blanket in the meadow, a pair of binoculars pressed to his face and trained on the villa across the valley as he idly reached for a strawberry and shoved it into his mouth. The sun was beating down on the rolling landscape, but he hardly noticed it as he remained laser-focused on his quarry, who was currently playing what appeared to be pétanque with a gentleman in a wheelchair, who seemed to be cheating, as the Doctor either failed to notice or chose not to.

The Doctor was wearing, quite improbably, a t-shirt. It looked utterly absurd to the Master, who was clad in his usual purple attire, irrespective of how warm it was; the heat was a mere inconvenience to him, but one that could be ignored easily enough. The Doctor was leaning into the heat, he gathered; he had teamed his t-shirt with shorts, a wide-brimmed straw hat, and even – the Master grimaced – flipflops, and the casual air of it all was bewilderingly excellent. He looked casual. He looked relaxed. He looked… well, the Master twiddled the dial on the binoculars, trying to make out the expression on his oldest friend’s face, but he was certain that he’d look bored. From this distance, he couldn’t see him thrumming with nervous energy, but he knew it to be the case; he knew the Doctor well enough to know that being stuck in the South of France with a boringly conventional family unit would be stultifying and dull, and that he must be itching to escape in the TARDIS.

Still, that was satisfying in and of itself; knowing that the Doctor was trapped here by the conventionality of politeness, unable to leave. He would suffer through years – perhaps even decades – of boredom, and the idea of that was so delightful that the Master couldn’t help but kicking his legs in glee. Death by mundanity. Death by drudgery. Death by human. It was so perfectly Doctorish that he laughed aloud. Only the Doctor could build himself a cage that wasn’t so much gilded as… well, rustically hand-woven, in keeping with some of the things he'd passed in the local village on the way here. Bless him and his affection for his pets; it really was in keeping with his entire personality to chain himself to them for the duration of their lifetime and then have both of his hearts broken when they inevitably keeled over and died. And perhaps, alright, the Master might already be concocting schemes to accelerate that happening, because playing with the Doctor’s pet humans and their silly little families was an excellent way to pass the time. He still thought fondly of Martha Jones, despite her ultimate defiance of him.

Settling back, he reached for the bottle of wine he’d liberated from a nearby vineyard. Might as well get comfortable.

3. 💍 JEWELRY: What are considered luxury items in the world of your WIP?

Does a little dance.

In the world of Albea, luxury items are fairly varied. So let's break it down a bit:

Clothing: Spider-silk clothing. Spiders have been semi-domesticated in Albea in the same way we irl have done to silkworms. Their silk is gathered en-masse after the long, warm summers cause them to create giant communal webs to catch prey, then it is washed and spun and THEN it's very carefully woven into clothing. And the clothing made from this silk is very, very flexible and a bit waterproof.

As you can imagine, this is a very long and exact process, thus the resulting products cost a small fortune.

Jewelry: Gemstones and fossils. But not for the same reason as Earth.

Genstones on Earth are pricy because of a bunch of different reasons. On Albea, they're pricy because Albean mining operations are MUCH different from Earth to deal with how easy it is to set off the environment - which means no strip mining, no explosives, nothing majorly destructive. Thus, certain gemstones are a much more difficult find.

As for fossils, Albea has a very robust paleontology circle - it's fairly common to see a person wearing some fossilized shells or even a tooth placed in a bottle as a necklace.

And finally, food: skyren meat. Is that animal name permanent? No clue. Anyways.

There is a giant, heavily specialized kind of bird that I am (for now) calling skyrens. Now, these giant creatures can cause effectively a land-based whalefall - often falling in the middle of prairies and deserts, bringing food to the ecosystem for possibly years.

Wamashi, being carnivores, also like to participate in this. The issue is it's very difficult to find a dying skyren before they're already decaying and/or have been eaten by scavengers. So when they DO get the meat (and feathers! They're useful for many things) it's an absolute delicasy.

[fouadwastaken]

what type of bread would be Amal's favourite??... And Zuha's too! And Malak's. Every one of your characters. What bread do they like??

GOOD QUESTION!!

For malak it's Eish merahrah ! A flat bread we use mostly for sandwich!

For bailey she got too used to stuff like hardbrood! kind of really condensed and hard bread/biscuits hybrid you find it boats! she just spreads stuff over it and eats it!

Richard is a big fan of corn bread. He probably also knows how to make it!

For Zuha it is a hard choice , but they'd probably give it to either Msemen or Pita/Khubz!

For Amal it's especially batbout..Warm !!

Both Zahra and Miki rock that Harcha

Constantin's fav is goofy ahh white bread

For remy it's toast!

Cozy beds and history channel shows do wonders for my writing

[lbhslefttiddie]

Could you talk a bit about how you plan out your longer fanfics? I’ve have a long fic I’ve been wanting to write, but I’m not sure how to plan/outline it, and I’d love to hear what your process is!!!

Mouse and the Thorn and Into This Wild Abyss had some very different things going on in the planning stage—it really came down to what kind of story i was telling and what was important for executing that!

(longish sowwy)

ITWA, from the moment i conceived it, revolved around sqq going through a largely preordained plot, and so i created a longass bullet list of all the major plot points and moved them around into the general order i felt it was best for them to happen. I generally kept the points brief and without flavour, lest it mess with the writing of the scene itself or I get bored of it before i even start. There was some variance in the writing stage, partially because i (cough) forgot to add several plot points in the originally planned spaces (see: xin mo), and partially because that's just sort of how it goes when you're actually feeling out a chapter, but the outline was like a guide that i would be able to pull back towards if i strayed too far, and allowed me to keep the end destination in mind, and keep track of important details. All told, the core aspects laid out in the outline didn't change much in the finished product. Frankly, it was huge relief to have that outline!! It definitely saved my ass many times. Truly a revelatory experience for me.

MotT, on the other hand, doesn't so much have a hard plot—lbh is currently 13 years old, before even the beginning of scum villain, so even the plot that comes built into this universe is a very distant thing. We basically just have a core cast of a few inextricably connected characters who are constantly influencing each other, and the "plot" is really just who is going through what character arc at this particular point in time.

Trying to create an outline would, to me, feel horribly rigid, when a lot of flexibility is necessary for something like this. Instead, i have a handful of cool scenes in my head, a general sense for where each character is at and where they're going, and it's just a matter of passing the mic around in a way that feels balanced for whatever arc we're in.

............It's worth mentioning that the way i've written/am writing MotT, while i think is for the best for this project, is also way fucking harder than how ITWA was planned and written. I've mentioned this before in passing i think, but on multiple occasions, i'll have written entire scenes out, and then need to push them back or move them around way more than anticipated because Something Else Needs To Happen First. (this also reflects in my art; the files are listed by date rather than chapter, and so some clusters of art are actually in backwards order--i did the art for what became ch 16 before 15, and 15 before 14)

It's not necessarily a problem, and I'm certainly enjoying myself, but this messy and fluid way of putting a story together straight up would not be possible if i did not already have a solid sense for pacing and balancing emotional elements. I'm absolutely certain that even a few years ago i would not have had the skill to write this fic without writing myself into a corner or rushing everything in a forced way or losing something important to the core of the story; i would go so far as to say this story is only possible because I wrote ITWA first.

I definitely would not recommend this strategy for your first longfic, personally. obviously, do what feels right for yourself, etc, and at the end of the day you should never let concerns of skill or experience stop you from writing the stories you want, but i think this process could, uh. Cause headaches. If you're out of your depth
