it genuinely is funny that people think the "oh isaac newton is hot for sure, oh hey apparently this is who i am now" is about the doctor being queer instead of the doctor just saying shit out loud with his actual mouth now

because yeah it's been over fifteen years, but i haven't forgotten how we lost our god damn minds over "tell rose... oh she knows" when man goes down a hole to meet apparently satan

"i'm burning up a sun, just to say goodbye... so i suppose, if it's my last chance to say it, i..." CAN'T EVEN GET THE WORDS OUT TO THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE

the doctor not saying shit out loud was like our collective primary agony for years on end. the children may not remember, but i do.

unhinged darlingzane posting immediately after waking up nothing to see here

what if thomas seine aka tom zane in room 665 is the "real" tom zane, the one who cut out dark barb's heart and then fucked off to a baby universe where they could be happy together? or, maybe in his universe, he isn't that zane at all?

what if that hasn't happened yet as of aw2 because linear time means fucking nothing in the dark place? or maybe it has! maybe there are as many tom zanes as there are universes, and sometimes he's a poet, or a diver, or a filmmaker, and some have had certain experiences and some have not, or have yet to, or maybe even never will. who's to say?

i wish we knew more about the real jakala who drowned in the lake, like the specifics of her role as tom's muse. did she help him refine his art as the house of dreams poems sometimes suggest? did she, perhaps, help put them through iterations, help stress-test his concepts, within the bounds of which he could wildly improvise?

it would help a couple looking to achieve their goal of crafting a baby universe if someone had a good grasp of the theoretical underpinnings behind the cosmology of it all, a well-developed interpretation of many worlds. wouldn't it?

(i imagine it might also help if you could somehow have a master of many worlds in your back pocket for that.)

funny thing about the existence of infinitely many worlds is that it implies the existence of infinitely many permutations of people, roles, archetypes, story beats. maybe in one world you lose your darling to the lake while she's diving for the treasure you spoke of and you have to make a world where you can rest, or be together, or at least start over. maybe there are other worlds where the skeleton of events and people involved are very similar; it's just the flesh that looks a little different.

maybe.

genshin self insert oc is making an appearance in this stupid ass fic I’m writing I’m so excited

her name is Jacqueline, certified girltwink, fruitcake with an electro vision, and has POTS, like me!!!!

She’s currently working as Neuvillette’s intern, since he has a lot more work on his plate, and she figured it would be good experience. However, she is sick of his shit.

Okay, something inspired by a John character analysis because it hurt me to the depths of my soul: John is "a funny guy" and he's "nice", but he ultimately got so desensitized and disconnected from his emotions by everything going to shit and everyone dying before his very eyes all the time that his emotional response to things that matter is neutral at best and fake as fuck at worst. It's not like he doesn't care about people, but it's easier for him to sever all ties with everyone rather than process that maybe he's not doing so well all alone, maybe he's hurt and yes, his friends might have someone more important in their lives to be there for him, but it's also not their job, and he's not asking for help, so he pretends that everything's fine and he doesn't need any help, he might even believe that.

Dirk on the other hand comes off as cold and calculating, or at least he's trying very hard to seem like some unfeeling ringleader pulling the strings, but he cares so much, he's passionate despite trying to dismiss his own interests as "irony" sometimes and he loves his friends so much he kills himself for them, he falls hard because he has no frame of reference to what being loved even supposed to feel like and gets heartbroken easily because of it. Dirk gets too attached to people because of his isolated upbringing and he wants the best for them even when no one asks, even when he's wrong about what "the best" actually is.

Point is, Dirk has a lot of love to give and John deserves to receive a lot of love after everything he's gone through, but they're equally bad at properly expressing feelings and receiving them, so It obviously wouldn't be a smooth sailing. It's a meeting of unstoppable force in Dirk and an immovable object in John, but the point when they meet might be the balance between Dirk's "too much" care and John's "too little" care, and they can teach each other how to hold onto and let go respectively.

Yooooo! What if George had the plans for the Prequels down back in the 90s and Joruus C'Baoth was secretly a Count Dooku clone?

GEODE MY MAN! What's up??! I love this ask so much because it made me do the thing I like best: run down a rabbit hole that ends with me dragging out Lord of Misrule and re-reading Christopher Lee’s delightful, if vaguely bemused chapter on filming AotC.

So, Dooku’s origins: while I think Lucas had profound, interesting thoughts on Dooku’s character outside of his obvious tropism, I always thought he created the character predominantly FOR Christopher Lee and classic film villain homage. You know: Count Dooku/Count Dracula, the cape, the tastiness of having Sir Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing in his original trilogy and needing a fitting cultural icon from that same golden generation for his new one... 

But in the memoir, Christopher Lee’s own account of getting the role kind of contradicts that? His agent - unsolicited by Lucas - suggested a meeting with the Star Wars casting director might be a good career move. Christopher Lee, agent, and casting person all had a very nice lunch and didn’t talk about Star Wars or Dooku at all. (AotC was already entirely scripted at this point.) That was it. A couple weeks later, Christopher Lee got a call saying he was Dooku, if he wanted to be. 

This is very, very funny to me because it implies that Christopher Lee’s Dooku audition was “having a nice lunch” and he nailed it so hard he got the job with absolutely no other follow up. It also seems to imply that Dooku was already written well before any association with Christopher Lee and any references were belatedly tacked on.

—This rambling is all probably missing the INTERESTING point you’re actually making: that Joruus C'Baoth predates Dooku’s invention and that he and Dooku share significant parallels. Star Wars is all too happy to cannibalize EU storylines, reiterate, and repeat. I’m sorry to say that I don’t know Joruus C'Baoth well enough to talk very articulately on the minute differences, aside from the wiki-level obvious similarities of them both being disillusioned white haired older human Jedi of similar generations and interests, who both were personal friends of Palpatine prior to their fall. Sidious seems to have been very interested in the flower of that Jedi generation and badly wanted one. Dooku’s Jedi friendgroup and peers seemed very attractive to him as a potential influences/points of attack in both Legends and Canon - Joruus C'Baoth, Dooku, Jocasta, Sifo-Dyas, and now even Rael all seemed to have some levels of exposure to him and potential influence, unwitting or not.

Is Joruus C'Baoth a proto-Dooku? To return to meta for a minute, this is something that came up a lot in the fandom between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones because when Dooku was premiered ahead of Attack of the Clones, everyone was pretty pissed off about the character, for a number of reasons including

Great, after all the athletic glamor of the duel of the fates we’re going back to old man battles??!

Asajj Ventress’s concept art was floating around and people theorized the new Sith/villain would be a badass woman

We all thought Yoda was Qui-Gon’s Master for some reason that I can’t remember and we were mad about it being this new guy with a stupid name

But most importantly, because the central narrative thing in Dooku’s story is a Jedi who is corrupted and becomes a Sith, and we’re already doing that with Anakin. And, apparently, Joruus C'Baoth.

I'm not sure that accurately answers your question, but I sure did blow off an hour of boring work on it, so truly, thank you, friend. :D <3
