#no things

Something, something, the not-Doctor telling Donna that perhaps the no-things don't know the difference between skin and clothes while trying to convince her he's real versus the Fourteenth Doctor regenerating a new set of clothes along with his body

Okay so my immediate thoughts after watching Wild Blue Yonder was that the No-things are a like an analogy/reference to AI images.

Now I'm neither an expert on AI nor on Dr. Who. The two special episodes I've watched so far are in fact the first Dr. Who episodes I've opted for.

But just the way AI images look correct at first glance but when you look more closely for the details - number of fingers/legs, hair etc., they're off. The same is the case with the No-things at first. They're unable to get a hang of their bodies.

However, I've seen people mentioning now that even AI has upped the game and is becoming more and more accurate. The No-things too become more and more perfect near the end of the episode.

Just my two cents here. Apologies if anyone has already said this before me.

Do we know when in time they were on the ship with the No-Things? Cause imagine how terrifying the No-Things would be after drifting through space for millions of years to reach current Earth and finally catch up with The Doctor

Sketches from my wild blue yonder rewatch

[talisidekick]

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:
