#the doctor travelling with a gorilla?

[silverfoxstole]

Just listened to The Mummy Speaks! and oh my Alan Barnes was definitely in silly reference/in-joke mode. For example:

“Joe the Taxi”

“The City of Light will become the City of Death!”

“The bells! The bells!”

I’m sure there were more but I can’t remember them just now.

I keep thinking about Luo Binghe and how he can basically travel across the multiverse and visit different versions of himself and how this opens doors to connect basically every fanfic out there to the original PIDW, and how Luo Bingge specifically travelled to the SVSSS world and how maybe it wasn't the first world he visited and!!!!

I wrote something:

"Luo Binghe's terrible guide to multidimensional travel"

There are general rules that govern each and every single universe that he has visited so far:

There's always a baby, abandoned by their mother, named a variation of his own name: Luo Binghe. Most of the time the baby is a boy, but sometimes the kid is a girl, and just once something he can't be bothered to understand.

The boy is then adopted by a poor woman, of different names and professions, but always a loving and dedicated mother, who makes the kid feel loved and the happiest they will ever be. Then the woman dies in a variety of tragic ways: sometimes she dies quickly; a thief kills her for their last copper coins; she gets crushed by a speeding cart; An assassin mistakes her for his target; etc. Others, sickness takes her slowly; her life slipping from the kid's fingers like a sand clock; she died from a cough, a fever, tuberculosis, or some sickness too expensive to treat. Those are the ones he doesn't stick around to watch.

Every single time, the kid cries all night, hugging the last treasure their mother left.

Luo Binghe is then tossed around until he encounters the one Shen Quingqiu, who no matter age, gender, or status, makes his life hell, just to put him through the worst thing possible, and make him face the darkest moments of his life before he can even turn of age.

Luo Binghe then takes revenge on everyone who wronged them. He schemes, destroys, takes and becomes the ultimate ruler of the world.

And that's where his certainty ends.

And sure, he could say more. There are some more common sights to talk about, for example, he's seen about a dozen fools who follow Shen Quingqiu around like he's a wronged, misunderstood maiden and not a major asshole. The sight of a gorilla whose all brawl and no brain keeps repeating, and sometimes he sees the familiar doctor, the recognizable powerful older sister, a little demon who shows too much skin, the usual sweet girl next-door, and the far too frequent dumb annoying lackey. Yet even if he can spot them from a mile away, these people... they are not consistent. They are not always there, sometimes they die, sometimes they live and sometimes they leave whatever place he lives in before he can even meet them. Why talk about them when they are not really that important? nobody cares, they are light strokes that serve to paint the whole picture, but they are never the actual subject.

Luo Binghe knew he was important, powerful, greater than the rest. To him, it was a fact as obvious as the sun rising every morning, as glaring as the fire that burns everything it touches, as clear as the icy rived that gave him his name. So it wasn't really surprising to confirm what he has always thought: He has always been in the center of the world he lives in.

It's simple. Predictable even. So much so, in fact, that it doesn't even hurt to see the same story play out again and again. He has come to expect it.

The story goes like this: He goes to a world, and identifies himself. He stays for a bit, remembers his mother, goes away for a little, sight sees, tries to spot some differences. Beds unimportant, nameless women to calm Xin Mo and comes back once his other self is finally taking revenge on his "Shizun". He doesn't stick around much after that for the same reason he doesn't stick around in his own world. Who cares about 515 wifes? Who cares about unique, never-before-seen creatures, and treasures and pieces of land? He has heard of it all before. He can obtain whatever he wants in whatever world he wants. Why should he care about this particular one then?

All he cares about is the cathartis, the retribution! He wants to see it happen, again, and again, and again. He never grows tired, he never runs out of worlds to see it happen. Luo Binghe is always abandoned, he is always briefly loved and that love is always taken away. No matter what, he gets abused and then he gets what he deserves, his fateful "happy ending" where he tortures and kills the people he hates. It's an infinite retribution machine that he has taken part in and delights to see perpetuate.

At least, that was what he believed was destined to happen. What was meant to happen. The fate the gods had written for him was set in stone.

So then why...

Why was that world so different? What WAS different?? What did that crybaby DO to DESERVE the ending all the others couldn't get?? What god did he challenge?? What string of fate did he cut to be free??? What was it that he had that HE couldn't get???

Why did he get a kind, loving shizun? A wife who loved him?? Who he served like a mindless slave?? And why was he living like THAT??? Why wasn't he driven by hate and resentment like the rest??? Why was he HAPPY???

Luo Binghe didn't get it, how he could envy himself so much, and how he could lose against HIM, what should be an inferior Luo Binghe in every way. Or almost, every way.

He did recognize him for at least one thing... The kind Shen Quingqiu.

There are general rules that govern each and every single universe that this Luo Binghe has visited so far:

What does one Lord Luo Binghe do when somebody wrongs him? What happens when he sees something he wants? Something he deserves?

Luo Binghe takes it.

Wait wait wait wait wait. Cal told Daisy that his grandfather was in WWII as a field medic. Aside from the fact that Kyle MacLachlan was born in ‘59 and assuming Cal’s the same age (which checks out with him already being a well-off doctor in ‘88) which would make that one old-ass field medic- this could’ve made everything with Sousa so much funnier. He served in WWII? So did Daisy’s great-grandfather. And Trip’s grandfather. This man is technically old as balls even though he’s relatively young for the SHIELD team because time travel.

What I find even funnier is the very slight chance that this random soldier dr. Johnson and Sousa could’ve actually met. Also the fact that after coming from a generation or two of presumably talented and well-off doctors, Cal goes apeshit and starts drinking gorilla testosterone so he can feel special and immediately murders a few dozen people. Top notch coping mechanisms right there. His therapist must be so proud.

My first request 🥰

This little number was written for the anonymous request I received the other day! I hope that they enjoy what I came up with. While this story lacks the spicy content I usually write, it was nice to branch out and try something new. So, thank you for the request…let’s hope I did this right 😂

(Here is the original request from anonymous:

I personally would love to see a Christian Cage x (Possibly?) A Pregnant!Wife Reader, maybe the reader is pregnant and Christian’s valet (kinda like the Miz & Maryse) and she’s stressing at Ringside during a match that happens involving Christian’s little Crew (Him, Lucha, & Nick)?)

This story contains minor swearing, pregnancy, slight description of labor pain(s). Read at your own discretion.

Y/N- your name

O/B- obstetrician (A physician who cares for women and their baby during pregnancy and childbirth)

A Labor of Love 💕

Christian and I had countless conversations about me joining him, Luchasaurus and Nick for his “write off” match that was happening next week on Dynamite. I wanted nothing more than to be ringside supporting him, cheering him and the guys on (and maybe even causing a little mischief for their opponents) but Christian was 100% against it. I know he was just being protective of me and our baby growing inside of me, but I knew this would be the last match I would be able to accompany him to the ring before our baby would be born. He also knew that I wasn’t going to give up on this until I got him to change his mind. To the rest of the world Christian was the biggest ill-tempered asshole, but when it came to me (and our baby) he was a complete softie. I loved being able to know that side of him.

“Y/N, what if something were to happen and go wrong? I just want you and the baby to be safe. It’s too risky for you to be out there with all 6 of us in the middle of the chaos. I won’t be able to keep an eye on you or keep you out of harm’s way.” He explained.

I couldn’t help but to let out a frustrated sigh. “This isn’t my first rodeo, Christian. I know what to do and where I need to be. I really want to be there since neither of us will be traveling with AEW after this match because the baby will be here soon. Please, just trust me. I need to do this for you and for me.” I pleaded. We sat in silence for a few minutes before I spoke again. “What if we ask my O/B at my appointment in a couple days if they think it’s a good idea or not? Let them decide if I’m in the clear to join you. Would that help make you feel better about it?” “I don’t think it would take all my worry away, but yes that’s a good idea. If the doctor says it’s okay, then I will trust their judgement, and yours.” I squealed with delight and threw my arms around Christian’s neck, causing my baby bump to nudge his stomach. Christian smiled at my excitement and placed his hand on my bump, marveling at the sudden kicks he felt against it. “Your mother is the most stubborn and determined person I’ve ever met. If you come out with the same fiery qualities she has, I’m in trouble.”

“You ready baby?” I asked Christian as we stood backstage in gorilla position. I knew how nervous he still was about having me ringside even though my doctor gave us the green light last week. Christian would be missing the next 6-8 weeks because of the baby, and I was bound and determined to make tonight special for him. Little did I know how “special” the night was going to turn out…

Luchasaurus and Nick stood nearby, stretching, and psyching themselves up while I tried my best to calm Christian’s mind. “You’ve worked so hard to get here baby. I’m so proud of you! I’ll be fine, and so will the baby. Now get your DILF ass out there and give em’ hell!” He kissed me fiercely before leaning down and kissing my baby bump too. The opponent’s music hit right before they went through their tunnel and down the ramp towards the ring. There was a small pause before Christian’s music started vibrating through the arena, causing him to instantly tap even more into his villainous persona before leading the 4 of us up the steps to the tunnel. Performing was like a second nature to me, so just like Christian had done, I flipped a switch and turned on the bad bitch persona I was so good at portraying. I placed my hands on Luchasaurus and Nick, parting them as I made my way in between and took my place right next to Christian. I plastered the biggest and brightest smile on my face while lacing my fingers with Christian’s as we walked down the ramp.

It was about 8 minutes into the match and the guys were rocking and rolling. I kept my distance from the busy spots in and around the ring while playing my part perfectly. Right on cue, I started distracting the ref so Christian could hit his opponent with the TNT belt Nick had tossed to him. I was yelling and waving my arms in the air manically, doing my best to keep the ref’s eyes on me for a few moments longer. When he threatened to throw me out from ringside, I hopped up and down throwing a tantrum, pleading my case for him to let me stay. The damage in the ring was already done, so I waved off the ref, allowing him to return his focus to the match.

Everything was going smoothly until Luchasaurus nailed Christian with a tail whip when the opponent he was aiming for ducked out of the way. Christian stumbled back into the pads of the turnbuckle, completely dazed before sitting down. My first instinct was to go apeshit on the asshole who ducked out of the way, but I went after Luchasaurus instead. (I blame the pregnancy hormones) I had fury in my eyes as I climbed onto the apron and began yelling at Luchasaurus for not being more careful, cursing at him and getting in his face. Nick rushed over and tried to calm me down, but I quickly put that little boy in his place. The more he spoke, the more my urge to slap him grew. When I reared my hand back, Nick recoiled but lucky for him Luchasaurus grabbed hold of my wrist, stopping my hand from making contact with Nick’s face. If looks could kill, that dinosaur would be dead right now because I was staring daggers at him.

The ref had enough of my behavior and tossed my ass out. Of course I threw a fit all the way up the ramp until I reached the backstage area. I was a little winded from all my theatrics, so I tried to catch my breath as I watched the match on the tv in the back. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my lower back, around my hips and to my lower belly. The surprise of it caused me to gasp and white knuckle grip the table next to me so I could steady myself. “What the hell was that?!” I whispered to myself. “This is not happening right now…” Another wave of pain radiated through my lower half, this time causing me to drop to my knees. Kris Statlander saw what had happened and rushed over to my side, full of concern. “Y/N! Are you okay?” “I…I think I’m in labor. Help me stand…p-please. I need to get my phone so I can get ahold of my doctor.” I spoke as calmly as I could through gritted teeth. Kris helped me to my feet, holding on to my arm giving me support. I didn’t even notice that Christian’s match had ended until I saw him running towards me. “Are you alright, Y/N? Is the baby okay? What’s going on?” he asked breathlessly. “I think the little s-show I put on with Luchasaurus and Nick might’ve caused me to go into labor.”

Christian’s face turned a little pale as he stood in front of Kris and I in shock. It took Kris snapping her fingers and a boop on his nose for him to come back down to Earth. “You okay there, Dad?” she asked him playfully. Christian’s brows knitted together as he gave her a dirty look, but his face softened when he turned his attention to me. “I’ll put the fact that I was right about it not being a good idea for you to be ringside tonight on the back burner temporarily. Now, let’s go meet our baby!”

Thanks for reading 🖤

Question 1: What would Eobard Thawne, Abra Kadabra, and Gorilla Grodd see if they were exposed to the Scarecrow's fear toxin?

I've got no clue about Grodd, honestly. My gut feeling is that he'd be terrified of being an ordinary gorilla, but he's so megalomaniacal that maybe such a thought never even occurs to him.

Kadabra fears being ignored and forgotten, or considered irrelevant. But I'd take it a little further and suggest that in addition to those fears, he's terrified of falling into conformity (by force) with his era's systemic oppression and becoming just another cog in the machine…which would end in him being ignored and invisible and quite fine with it.

Eobard's an interesting one, because I'm certain that he's already seen the things he's most afraid of during his travels, and he'd probably be able to shake off the fear toxin better than most for this reason. We've seen him pee himself in fear over Wally's threats to erase him from history or kill him as a child, and he temporarily lost his mind after learning Barry broke his neck, but I don't think those bother him much in the modern era. He's been rejected by Barry more times than he can count, so that probably stings a lot but it's not a great fear.

But he was clearly terrified by the sight of whatever he saw in The Button (likely Doctor Manhattan, but probably more than that -- it was probably some demonstration of just how overwhelmingly powerful the guy is), and at this point in his existence I think that'd be his primary fear. Eobard keeps respawning after death and he knows this by now, but Manhattan probably has the power to erase him if he chose, and that likely frightens him more than anything. Eobard's accustomed to being one of the most powerful guys in the room -- in the sense that he can alter timelines at will and it gives him a massive upper hand and confidence boost over most opponents -- but what do you do against a guy who's basically God? And he certainly perceived Manhattan (or whoever it was) as God (content warning on the image in the link: grievous injury and death). Ultra-powerful beings like Manhattan that can alter time and space on a whim are likely the greatest threat to him, and I think that's what he'd most fear.

[demento]

this is going to be my running commentary for the 2001 a space odecyecs (can't spell lmai

the monkey part is so wierdd, it is so obviously some dude in a fursuit, topped off by the noises and music. my dog is growling at them and intensely staring at the screen.

the massive pole thing? idk what that was abiut. and then they start beating eachother, and It suddenly cuts to outer space? okay.

my dog is so interested, not taking his eyes off it. abolutely captivated.

really cool soundtrack btw, I really like it

first part of characters(ur title):

his daughter just wants another telephone :(. I am so confused rn, what's that really long convo around the table? who knows.

PASSENGERS ARE ADVISED TO READ INSTRUCTIONS VLBEFORE USING THE TOILET XD !!!!??????!!

there is no speaking again? really cool music but I need to know what's going on. please

oooh a meeting. I wish subtitles were available I am not processing any of this

the CGI is fabulous I love it so much

they going into that base thingy now with the horrific audio, like, it doesn't need to go in for so long :(, it's too much for my head to handle. I hope it has a purpose, to build tension or smth cause it's really terrible(in the way that it's well done/made but a bad noise). AND NOW RINGING?!

it says Jupiter's mission now

it's focusing on this dude running around a rotating office(?) and it's hurting my brain I can't wrap my head around the movement in it. ik you said it was trippy but I assumed that's later lol

the way this dude is eating his icecreamed food is driving me insane, no one eats it like that, stuff is meant to be eaten in an order, or going from one end to the other. oooh it's infuriating >:(

HAL 9000! I <3 him so much. He and Dave are so. just so.

" I know it's a bit silly" awwww

the breathing atm is so grr dheggebsb bdjbbs bsnndndndnnhw grrrrgrrrreerrr. they did not need 10 minutes of this dude breaking really heavy, was not needed.

got to the intermission!

there's the breathing again it is so wierdd and just wrong.

my dog just let out the loudest fart honestly >:0

the dude that's not Dave is just floating out in space. he won't stop it's been ages now. he's been saved!

all the people in the white sleepy suits just died

Dave let the dude go again?! he and Hal had an argument over killing each other.

Dave killed Hal as he was singing a song to him? ok, onto the Jupiter and beyond the infinite

the magical colourfull line he's gone into looked like guitar hero, but rotated

atm all I see is colours I am so confused. it hurts my eyes.

babies in space!?!!

overall I just found it confusing, but it was interesting to watch lol

have fun reading this :P

LMAO HI

im not gonna respond to the first gorillas bit bc i was there w u but . set the tone for ur dogs for sure….

THE POLE YHING IS PART OF THE TRIPPY BIT my ongoing theory is that it gives people new information that their brains cant rly hand,e (i.e. monkeys near pole went apeshit but figured out how to use tools, people on moon near pole had to be put in a coma but figured out how to go to jupiter, dave near pole had the worst trip of his life but was reborn into a giant baby…) like some sorta lovecraftian shit

THE SIUDNTRACK IS SOOOOOO GOOD AGH. i LOVE the use of music in the film to set the tone & atmosphere & motifs & shit

THE LONG CONVO WAS UHHH. they were on like a specship docking station nd these guys tell the doctor (main guy who rang his kid) that the spaceship he’s going onto has rumours of a massive disease outbreaak, and so he better be careful and also they say he should like. feed info back to them . and be a rat basically . the doctor says “nuh uh thats confidential” and they all get sad bc they dont have access to a mole

the meeting is where we discover that actually theres NOT a disease outbreak , thats just a backup story to prevent more people going onto the ship. they’re travelling to the moon to investigate this weird black pole thing (th same pole frm the monkeys) bc it has a super strong super weird magnetic field . its said that it must have been dug down into the ground purposely bc its so deep…

…which brings us nicely to the AWFUL RINGING SCENE . theyve found the pole and are investigating it — behavior is notably VERY similar 2 tha monkeys. they reach forwards and touch it hesitantly, crowd around it in a circle… the reason however that it might be ringing for us NOW but was not ringing for the monekys PREVIOUSLY could be just because we, the viewer, ARE humans, adn thus cannot hear the sound the moneksy heard

JUPITERS MISSION IS WHERE THE MAIN PLOT COMES IN ! with hal and frank and dave . uhh more or less u seem to understand most of the first bit of this, but just to put it out there that the people who are in a coma are the people who were on the voyage to th moon to investigate the magnetic field .

HAL AND DAVE ARE SO. THEY ARE JUST SO. U GET IT

the breathing is bc theyre in space thats what they hear but iAGREE it was HORRIBEL watching that on the big screen OUGH

intermission :-3

frank was uhh dead .? the pod he was manouvreing got taken over by hal (bc the red light at the front lit up ) , and it cut his oxygen cord. he’s dead out there buddy . dave isnt saving him .

dave let frank go bc he had to go in the entrance where he would Probably Die if he did not Pay Attention. and so bringing franks body in was NOT on his list of priorities .

the argument with hal was brought on previously — do u remember the convo dave and frank had in the pod when they thought hal could not hear them ? the convo abt cutting hal off if it turned out that the communications device was NOT broken aftr all? thtas why hal killed frank, and why hal wanted to kill dave

THE SONG WAS A REFREENCE TO THE FIRST COMPUTER TO SING A SONG !! th ibm something or other….but uhh the deal with him singing was bc his memory files got removed it was like a factory reset. && dave kille shim bc he killed frank and all those cryogenically sleepin people lol

I TALKED ABT THIS EARLIER IN THE POST BUT JUST TO CLARIFY. u could see the black obelisk thing just b4 he started with the freaky acid trip thing……nd my personal theory is that. the information he was fed got TOO much and TOO overcomplicated . and thats why the last hhalf an hour is like that lmao

GIANT BABIES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

it IS confusing ur right. nw….tgank you for liveblogging it like i asked babycakws

[robotnik-mun]

I’ve admittedly been holding back on asking this on Tumblr, since I didn’t want anyone I ask to go stir crazy in trying to compare Sonic characters with characters from DC and Marvel, but I can’t hold back anymore. What do you think from either comic universe can be comparable characters from throughout the Sonic franchise? Not counting the intentional parodies.

Discounting certain alien characters who look Human enough like Superman as well as Amazons and Atlanteans for the sake of argument, I can see some comic characters being compared to certain Sonic characters. Fair warning, I’m familiar with some superheroes and supervillains more than others.

Shortfuse the Cybernik: War Machine (Yeah, he didn’t build the armor, and he wasn’t exactly a soldier, but he’s gotta be the closest example).

Rotor the Walrus: Iron Man (Only in the Pre-reboot comics with the nanite suit, but close enough, I guess).

Silver the Hedgehog: Booster Gold (Might be a bit flimsy, but the name of the time traveling X-Man escapes me at the moment).

Hypnobot: Ultron (By virtue of being made by one of the good guys, even if he lacks Human brainwaves).

Regina Ferrum: Doctor Doom (In the Marvel comics, Doom is a sorcerer, a scientist, and a dictator mixed together, so yeah).

Black Doom: Darkseid/Thanos (I’m sure you can imagine why).

Nicole the Holo-Lynx: Vision (Even if she lacks a solid body and a villainous origin, she’s close enough to me).

Bunnie Rabbot: DC’s Cyborg (I can imagine her or Shortfuse having similar adventures that deal with their circumstances as the guy did in the 2003 Teen Titans series).

Naugus: Marvel’s Dracula (The one I saw in Avengers Assemble was King of his own vampire nation, which sounded somewhat similar to me).

Rouge the Bat: Black Widow/Catwoman (Obviously).

Mimic: Marvel’s Chameleon (Sorta fits).

Ebony: Doctor Strange/Fate (Of course).

Sonic the Hedgehog: Flash/Quicksilver (Almost excluded this, but yeah).

Vector the Crocodile: Luke Cage (For the sake of argument).

There's been more than one time travelling X-men member, most of whom have come from one flavor of Bad Future or the next. Bishop, Cable, Nate Grey, Rachael Summers... it's a cornucopia of People From Bad Futures that could align with Silver.

Insert joke about the Summers Family Tree here, heh.

Truth be told I don't really dwell on the comparisons between Sonic stuff and Marvel/DC heroes much these days. I find that nobody really correlates 1-1, and honestly that's for the best.

Though one thing that has crossed my mind recently is that I can name two people who are kinda like Grodd.

First up is Akhlut.

Larely because while Akhlut is a big bruiser who relishes defeating others in physical combat, he's also a lot smarter than his appearance would suggest, gifted with a power that lets him affect the minds of others. So really, there's a similarity to Grodd in the sense of being a smart bruiser mind powers.

On a somewhat deeper level? Weirdly enough, Robotnik/Eggman is a kind of counterpart to Grodd when you take a look at what he is in the franchise.

Grodd is a super genius ape, an outcast from his society due to his criminal ways, who battles against a super fast hero and seeks to conquer the world due to his belief in his own superiority over humanity being justification for his right to rule.

Be he Eggman or Robotnik, he is likewise an Ape who battles a super fast hero and who likewise believes his superior mind grants him the right to rule over the masses, and is an outcast from his fellows due to being a criminal megalomaniac. While the details change from continuity to continuity, at the end of it he is basically a mirror to Grodd in a lot of ways. And while he doesn't mix it up physically the way Grodd is prone to, he IS still a good deal larger and stronger than Sonic is.

Heck, sometimes he even LOOKS kinda like a gorilla.

Prolly not the answers you were seeking, but that's kinda where my brain's been these days.

I suppose though with a slight bit of thought I might say..

Finitevus is comparable to Ra's Al-Ghul due to his similar desire to return Mobius to a 'pristine' state.

Mogul is blatantly derivative of Vandal Savage without being a parody.

Eggman (as defined by the games, Post-Reboot Archie and IDW) you might say is rather similar to Dr. Sivana, being that he is a super scientist who delves in mystical stuff fighting against a primary colored teenager, with his motives essentially boiling down his own genius making him deserving of ruling the world.

Snively, I suppose, would be DeSaad, a sniveling, ultimately traitorous lackey with ambitions of his own.

Knuckles is perhaps comparable to Wolverine, especially in Archie, due to his solitary nature, his spurs, his preference for Close Combat and his memory issues. But then you could perhaps say the same about Shadow given his own backstory and status as an anti-heroic loner.

Naugus I would think is more comparable to Kulan Gath or Mordru than he is to Dracula, given that he is THE Evil Wizard Out To Rule The World in Archie Sonic.

Sally at one point I might have compared to Cyclops due to her strategic mind and the strength of her convictions... but given where X-men is these days I don't think there's much to compare now, so, at a bit of a loss.

Truth be told though, none of these guys really align 1-1 save for Mogul, and that's because he's so derivative. I think that's for the best though. Kinda highlights the ways in which the Sonic cast is actually pretty unique in the wider pop culture world.

Another day, another adventure with the ever-so-brilliant Donna Noble. The wheezing of the TARDIS's engines halts with a shudder of the whole ship, and the Doctor looks across at their friend with a grin. They've taken her to a planet called Vaonerth, which dances with a handful of other planets between two suns, home of the Nagakind and a race of super-intelligent monkeys that rather resemble Earth gorillas.

They've landed in the middle of a city which they know to be Iamore, a hub for interstellar trade and travel nestled in the center of a vast jungle. Its skyscrapers are dwarfed by the ancient trees which create a comfortable canopy of leaves above them. Light from the suns filters through the leaves above, creating dancing speckles of light across the ground. The Doctor is telling Donna about the lively atmosphere of the place as they step out of the TARDIS and onto the planet itself.

"...Y'see, think of the Nagakind as like... a centaur, except if a centaur were a snake rather than a horse. They've got a torso and a head like you and me, but from the waist down, the most brilliant tail you'll ever see! One time, I managed to piss one of 'em off— Zuma, her name was, what a woman— and she very nearly squeezed me to death! 'Course, I was able to talk my way out of it, but it just goes to show—"

Suddenly, the Doctor stops in their tracks, perking up like a bloodhound who's caught scent of something interesting. A shadow falls over their expression, brows furrowed with concern as they stare across the empty empty square. "Is it just me, or is this place far too empty?"

rabies and the tvirus

Symptoms of rabies from the NHS website

Symptoms of rabies usually take 3 to 12 weeks to appear, but they can appear after a few days or not for several months or years.

Symptoms include:

numbness or tingling where you were bitten or scratched

seeing things that are not there (hallucinations)

feeling very anxious or energetic

difficulty swallowing or breathing

being unable to move (paralysis)

Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal.

list from the CDC with more information

After a rabies exposure, the rabies virus has to travel to the brain before it can cause symptoms. This time between exposure and appearance of symptoms is the incubation period. It may last for weeks to months. The incubation period may vary based on the location of the exposure site (how far away it is from the brain), the type of rabies virus, and any existing immunity.

The first symptoms of rabies may be similar to the flu, including weakness or discomfort, fever, or headache. There also may be discomfort, prickling, or an itching sensation at the site of the bite. These symptoms may last for days.

Symptoms then progress to cerebral dysfunction, anxiety, confusion, and agitation. As the disease progresses, the person may experience delirium, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, hydrophobia (fear of water), and insomnia. The acute period of disease typically ends after 2 to 10 days. Once clinical signs of rabies appear, the disease is nearly always fatal, and treatment is typically supportive. Less than 20 cases of human survival from clinical rabies have been documented. Only a few survivors had no history of pre- or postexposure prophylaxis.

keepers diary May 10th 1998: Today, a high ranking researcher asked me to take care of a new monster. It looks like a gorilla without any skin. They told me to feed them live food. When I threw in a pig, they were playing with it... tearing off the pig's legs and pulling out the guts before they actually ate it. May 11th 1998: Around 5 o'clock this morning, Scott came in and woke me up suddenly. He was wearing a protective suit that looks like a space suit. He told me to put one on as well. I heard there was an accident in the basement lab. It's no wonder, those researchers never rest, even at night. May 12th 1998: I've been wearing this annoying space suit since yesterday, my skin grows musty and feels very itchy. By way of revenge, I didn't feed those dogs today. Now I feel better. May 13th 1998 I went to the medical room because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on my back and the doctor told me I did not need to wear the space suit any more. I guess I can sleep well tonight. May 14th 1998 When I woke up this morning, I found another blister on my foot. It was annoying and I ended up dragging my foot as I went to the dog's pen. They have been quiet since morning, which is very unusual. I found that some of them had escaped. I'll be in real trouble if the higher-ups find out. May 16th 1998 I heard a researcher who tried to escape from this mansion was shot last night. My entire body feels burning and itchy at night. When I was scratching the swelling on my arms, a lump of rotten flesh dropped off. What the hell is happening to me? May 19, 1998 Fever gone but itchy. Hungry and eat doggy food. Itchy itchy Scott came. Ugly face so killed him. Tasty. 4 Itchy. Tasty.

researchers will

...Even as I write, I can feel the simplest of concepts slipping away, lost to feelings of despair and confusion - but I have to tell you what's in my heart before I can rest. Alma, please believe that what I'm telling you is the truth. The entire story would take hours for me to tell you, and time is short, so accept these things as fact: last month there was an accident in the lab and the virus we were studying leaked.

All my colleagues who were infected are dead or dying, and the nature of the disease is such that those still living have lost their senses. This virus robs its victims of their humanity, forcing them in their sickness to seek out and destroy life.

Even as I write these words, I can hear them, pressing against my door like mindless, hungry animals. Alma, I have tried to survive only to see you again. But my efforts only delayed the inevitable; I am infected, and there is no cure for what will follow - except to end my life before I lose the only thing that separates me from them. My love for you.

bonus RE3R Jill's report

September 26, 1998

It's already been two months since that mess with Umbrella. Thanks to the suspension, investigations haven't progressed exactly as I'd hoped. Perhaps this written record of what I've found will prove to be my final duty as a S.T.A.R.S. officer… I can only hope that it helps lead to the truth.

The T-Virus

Those infected by this virus seem to become literal zombies. It appears to be communicable via several different avenues, outlined below:

Bite from an infected individual, allowing the mixing of bodily fluids

Contact with crows which have eaten infected carrion

Due to the strength of the virus, airborne infection cannot be discounted

It should be noted that those who survived the incident have not yet developed symptoms.

It's unclear whether this is because the virus has a long incubation period, or because we just happened to be resistant to the infection. We ought to remain vigilant, even after this investigation period ends.

As for me—aside from my minor difficulties sleeping—I seem to be in fine shape. Still, I shouldn't get too hopeful. After all, this could just be an extended incubation.

DC (vol. 1) #31: Batman Versus the Vampire, pt. 1

Read Date: July 05, 2022 Cover Date: September 1939 ● Writer: Gardner Fox ● Penciller: Bob Kane ◦ Sheldon Moldoff ● Inker: Bob Kane ◦ Sheldon Moldoff ● Colorist: {uncredited} ● Letterer: Sheldon Moldoff ● Editor: Vincent Sullivan ●

SYNOPSIS:

The Batman patrols New York City at night. He spots a beautiful woman about to kill a man, and saves the man's life. Batman realizes that this woman is Julie Madison, Bruce Wayne's fiancee. Batman takes Julie home, and tells her to explain everything to Bruce Wayne in the morning. Bruce takes her to a doctor, who explains that she was a victim of hypnosis. The doctor suggests an ocean voyage to somewhere like Paris and then later Hungary. Bruce worries that the doctor seemed like he was under hypnosis also. Despite this, he decides to let Julie go. Bruce plans to follow her as Batman in his flying Batgyro. He also takes his newest weapon, the batarang.

Batman drops out of his plane to visit Julie on the boat. They are interrupted by a hooded villain known as the Monk. The Monk tries to hypnotize Batman, but as paralysis starts to set in, Batman throws a baterang at him. It misses, but Batman jumps onto his rope ladder and escapes into the plane.

They land in Paris, and Batman scours the city for Julie. When he finds her lodgings, he is attacked by a giant gorilla. The gorilla chases him into a room with no floor where he falls into a giant net. The net pulls him up to a room where the Monk is sitting on a throne. The Monk pulls a lever, and Batman is lowered into a pit with snakes. He manages to throw his batarang at a lever and shatter some glass. This allows him to break out of the net and pursue the Monk. The Monk runs through a doorway, and drops another cage on Batman when he follows. Then the gorilla is dropped into the cage. Batman dashes up the rope that lowered the gorilla, and takes down the guard who lowered him. Then he escapes through a door which leads him to the outside. Batman climbs back into the hovering Batgyro. He spots a car speeding away, and leaps down on top of it. The car crashes into a tree, and Batman drags Julie from the wreckage. Julie is safe, but the Batman wants revenge. He travels to Hungary to pursue the Monk.

Finished listening to Charlotte Pollard: The Further Adventuress, and I enjoyed it immensely. That’s two boxsets I’ve enjoyed, both further adventures from Lucie Miller and Charley.

Big Finish, when are you going to do the further adventures of Bernice Summerfield?

The flying Zoo!

If human culture ever gets to a point where we can recognise other animals as fully sapient -meaning fully self-aware and as intelligent, or greater, than humans (instead of sentient -which merely means intelligent enough to be able to perceive or feel things.- then surely we wouldn't be able to leave earth and explore the universe without taking our fellow intelligent species with us.

Our ships would be wild, in more ways than one!

I'm thinking (off the top of my head):

Corvids and Parrot species are natural communication officers.

Octopi are the pilots. their multiple limbs mean manipulating the many controls of a starship would be easy, compared to a human.

Dolphins, and other Cetaceans, as navigators; naturally being better suited to thinking in three-dimensional travel than humans.

Elephants, Gorillas, and Chimps would be well suited to heavy jobs, such as security, or even moving cargo.

Our long-time companions, the canines, would also make good security, or good nurses in the medical corp.

Orangutans could actually make good doctors. (IIRC, there is a longstanding myth about apes that, if given a camera, a chimp is likely to smash it, a gorilla is likely to fight to see who gets to look at it first, and an orangutan will carefully take it apart to see how it works.) Their naturally curious nature means Orangutans would probably make good medics. (Tying into Indonesian mythology that orangutans actually have the ability to speak, but choose not to, fearing they would be forced to work.)

Our ships will be a wild mix of wide spaces for our avian crewmates, deep lakes and water-filled tunnels for our aquatic brethren and large and wide hallways for our ape, human, and pachyderm officers.

Humans may only be a footnote in the recorded history of earth races reaching out into the stars.

Arkham Files: Zoom

Hugo Strange: From the patient files of Dr. Hugo Strange, director of Arkham Asylum. Patient: Hunter Zolomon, also known as Zoom. The patient displays symptoms of depression and a number of behaviors that indicate some form of psychosis, but I have not yet had the time to give him a full psychological evaluation. Session One. So, Mr. Zolomon, how are you today? 

Zoom: It’s straaaange. 

Hugo Strange: What is strange, Mr. Zolomon? 

Zoom: Being on thisss side of a psychological evaluaaaation. 

Hugo Strange: Oh, of course. You were once a criminal profiler, weren’t you, Mr. Zolomon? 

Zoom: Yessss. I waaas. But that was befoooore. 

Hugo Strange: Before you were caught in the explosion that gave you your powers and unhinged your mind? 

Zoom: No. Before I reeeealized my true caaaalling. 

Hugo Strange: Which is? 

Zoom: Maaaking Wally better. 

Hugo Strange: Can you clarify that, Mr. Zolomon? Making him better how? 

Zoom: By making him a better heeero. I will make him pushhh himself haaarder, so that he will do anything to heeelp people. People like meeee. 

Hugo Strange: You’ve been through a great deal of tragedy, haven’t you, Mr. Zolomon? According to your files, your father was a serial killer who murdered your mother when she called the police on him, and he was in turn killed by the police when he refused to surrender. You became a criminal profiler in the hopes of understanding why your father had done what he did. You married the daughter of the professor who taught you the most about the minds of costumed criminals, and the three of you worked as profilers for the FBI. You were the best and the brightest the organization had to offer, but one day, you made a tragic mistake. You predicted that a criminal wouldn’t be carrying a gun, but you were wrong. Your father-in-law was murdered, and you were shot in the knee, leaving you with a permanent limp. Your wife divorced you, and you were fired from the FBI. Shortly thereafter, you were offered a position as the criminal profiler for the Keystone City Police Department, which you accepted. On your first day on the job, you met the youngest Flash, Wally West, and became close friends with him. But with all his powers, he still couldn’t save you from Gorilla Grodd breaking your back and paralyzing you. Desperate, you asked him to go back in time and fix the mistakes that had led to you being crippled, but he refused. In response, you tried to use his time machine yourself, but failed. It exploded in your face...and gave you the metahuman ability to control the rate at which you travel through the timestream. That is what happened, isn’t it, Mr. Zolomon? 

Zoom: A verrry succinct reeecap of my old liiife, Dr. Straaange. But thaat doesn’t maaater anymore. Hunter Zooooolomon is deaaad. 

Hugo Strange: Mr. Zolomon, you have studied psychology. You must be aware that it is unhealthy to ignore the traumas of your past. 

Zoom: I haaave no choice. If I am to heeelp my friend become betterrr, I cannot be Hunter Zolomon. I must be Zooooom.

Hugo Strange: Mr. Zolomon, your files indicate that you have attempted to murder Mr. West’s wife and children. How can you possibly believe that attacking his family is helping him? 

Zoom: Doctor Straaange, I am a maaaan who has experienced much traaagedy. If Wallly does not go through traaagedies of his own, he will never achieve his true potential as a heeeeroooo. He will never learn that he needs to be willing to do aaaanything to hellllp people. He will never become as stronnng as I know he caaan be. 

Hugo Strange: And how does Mr. West view your attempts to ‘help’ him, Mr. Zolomon? 

Zoom: He doesssss not appreciate themmmm yet, Dr. Strraaange. But one daaay, he will. One day, he will realize why I had to runnnn dowwwwn this paaath for him...and we will be friendsssss agaaaain. 

Hugo Strange: Mr. Zolomon...your beliefs are patently absurd. Forcing suffering onto another human being is not the way to go about making them stronger, and it certainly will not endear you to anyone. By Mr. West’s own testimony, your actions have damaged your friendship with him almost beyond repair. If you want to maintain any sort of relationship with him, you must give up this delusional pursuit! 

Zoom: You donnn’t understaaand, Dr. Straaange. I must complete my mission. I need the purpose it givvvves me. I don’t have aaaanything else to liiiive for.

Hugo Strange: (Alarmed) The purpose of becoming the worst enemy of your only friend? That is all you think you have to live for, Mr. Zolomon?

Zoom: Everything elllllse has been taaaaken from me, Dr. Straaange. 

Hugo Strange: Do you have no hope for anything better? 

Zoom: Hope? Aaaaany hope I haaad died yeaaars ago; long before I became Zoooom. 

Hugo Strange: (To himself) I see that I’ll need to put Mr. Zolomon on antidepressants as soon as possible. (Aloud) I see. (Pause) So, Mr. Zolomon, why ‘Zoom’? 

Zoom: If I was goinnnng to plaaaaaay the role of Waaaly’s greatest enemy, I had to become a Reverse-Flaaaash. To that end, I deliberately based my naaame and costume on that of Barry Allen’s greatessssst enemy: Eobaaard Thawnnnnne. You probably knowwww him as Professor Zoom the Reverrrrse-Flash. 

Hugo Strange: You mean to tell me that you deliberately based your name and costume on those of a psychopathic killer? 

Zoom: Yessss. Eobaaaard Thawnnne was a monsssster, but the suffering he causssed Barrrry Alllen made him a betterrrr hero. I have been chosen to fill the saaaame role for Waaaally Wessst. 

Hugo Strange: Mr. Zolomon, if he is a monster, why would you ever choose to emulate him? 

Zoom: I didn’t choooooose to becommmme what I aaaaam, Doctor. I was faaated for the role. I fiiiiit the profiiiile. 

Hugo Strange: Mr. Zolomon, you were a criminal profiler! You know how the mind works. Can’t you see how warped your thinking has become? Don’t you realize how sick you are? 

Zoom: I am not siiick, Dr. Straaange. I am a man who haaaas finally learned the trrrruth about liiife and his purpose in it. (Pause) One daaay, Dr. Straaange, you will learn the lessons that I haaave. I look forward to seeing the gooood you accomplish once you doooo. 

Hugo Strange: Don’t be ridiculous, Mr. Zolomon. I am a completely rational man; I am hardly likely to fall prey to a delusion such as yours. 

Zoom: Thaat’s what I thought once. (Pause) And, if I’m not missstaaaaken, what Dr. Jeremiaaah Arkhaaam thought once, too. But we both reaaaalize the truth now...and eventually, so will you.

Hugo Strange: (Clearly unnerved) I’m afraid I’m going to have to end our session for today, Mr. Zolomon. 

Zoom: I wish you luck, Doctor. You willlll need it. The transiiition into my worrrlld is not an easy one.
