After I have no idea how long I FINALLY finished transcribing the tensimm speech in EoT into Gallifreyan oh my god-

For the design, i wanted to differentiate dr’s and master’s speech, so I made master’s writing white on black and doc black on white. You may not notice it but I also slightly altered the way I wrote for each of them. The doctor’s speech is full of curved lines and all the dots seen in his speech get larger/smaller in circles, I thought it was a bit more playful like the dr. The master on the other hand has super straight lines and similarly sized dots since master is a lot harsher.

The writing along the outside also reads “End of Time” bc I thought that circle needed something so I just wrote the ep title this speech was from in some weird improvised linear gallifreyan-

And this is how you would read it, each circle is read anti-clockwise from the bottom unless you see the little ‘start here’ symbol: —(•

(If you can be bothered tho lol, I know it’s a bit of an effort)

And now my watermark which I also wrote in gallifreyan for authenticity’s sake

Sadly I can’t post each of the sentences separately but if people are interested I could try sending them in the reblogs!

Been loving this dynamic

[satorugojoswiife]

out on a date 😳 what do I say hes so cute and im nervous

[meraki-yao]

I started making friendship bracelets for me and my friends for the Eras tour film (it's avaliable here starting early November, I'm seeing it 11th November)

And I thought might as well make whatever I want too, it's my materials anyways

So I made a RWRB bracelet!!!

The gold is supposed to sort of symbolize Henry's ring? And I just so happen to have a key pendant

And yes the knot is atrocious I'm still trying to figure that out

I might re do it at some point in the future but right now I'm pretty happy with it!!!

I'm gonna get whoever keeps doing this to them...

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Magnus Protocol (Podcast) Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Characters: Needles (The Magnus Protocol), Original Male Character(s) Additional Tags: Episode: e006 Introductions (The Magnus Protocol), Angst, Needles, Body Horror, Murder, Blood, Original Character Death(s), Character Study, Sort Of, the M rating is for violence not sex but there's A LOT of homoerotic subtext, plus some bdsm vibes but that just comes with the territory i think, (the major character death warning is for the oc) Summary:

Needles finds a new victim - or rather, his victim finds him.

have you been listening to the magnus protocol and found yourself in dire need of a fanfic from the POV of this week’s cringefail tumblr sexyman antagonist? no? too bad, because i wrote one anyway! check it out if you’re a fan of homoerotic stabbing and/or failguys covered in needles.

i don't want this to sound like some attention grabby BS lol but it may end up sounding that way anyway... i'm going on a (hopefully brief) hot girl hiatus. life has been a lot lately... mostly in that my health has taken quite the nosedive. anything medically serious has been ruled out thankfully but the whole process has been A Lot and my life has been turned upside down by it the last month.... i feel pretty terrible most of the time with various weird symptoms that are currently totally unexplained and not having answers for what's causing it is taking a bit of a toll mentally i guess. my friends and family have been great and i've had and am continuing to have truly brilliant healthcare (obligatory love for the NHS moment) - but things have been... really hard.

overall i'm just a bit of a mess rn and i'm finding myself easily upset by silly things on this hellsite... which is not like my thick skinned ass at all and a sign that i'm not finding enough joy in fandom to counteract the bad atm... which worries me greatly tbh. i also just can't keep up with everything right now and that makes me feel bad. i've promised to read a bunch of fics that i haven't read. my brain is too mushy to engage well with all the cool stuff happening in the fandom. my energy is just not there... i can't write with any consistency at the moment because i can't concentrate and writing itself is not even enjoyable at the moment which is so upsetting to me. i'm always second guessing. i can't think clearly enough to post anything meaningful either. all of this really sucks when this fandom (and the coolest corner of it - hai dadfucker fuckers ❤️) means a lot to me and makes me so happy usually.

i'm tired mate... i feel like my life is on hold. i spend a lot of time lying around not doing much atm and its so frustrating... i like being a busy person but i cant cope with being a busy person atm and i just don't feel like myself at all. and i feel really sad that the fandom joy isnt there at the moment.

yeah so i definitely plan to be back but for now i just need a little time out! ily ❤️

Snippet of a suggestive Veneziano sketch I did at 1 AM while lightly tipsy and recovering from 2 weeks of intense school work. Something to tide y’all and myself over <3

The episode last season about suicide that they put in Rick and Morty has vaguely helped me better mentally than any mainstream mental health services that I've been able to access yet (none)

I've actually found that language learning is quite enjoyable for me when you look at it as a bunch of different skills you can use. I think the thing that first triggered this feeling as an example was when my English teacher from exchange (they put me in English so I could help out the class/teachers lol) who was an L2 speakers said "that makes two of us" when talking to me and even though you I would usually hear "same" or "me too" it was just a nice way of showing how hard you worked in the language. So yeah, going to focus more on grammar points and sentence structures for Italian

Can we get insight on funeral practices?

Absolutely!

Fealty Funerary Practices

While the Four-Trees Fealty share a burial ground - that being, beneath the Tree of Lights -, there are still four separate factions who function as culturally independent entities.

As such, each faction holds different means of preparing a body, and mourning a life lost.

HIGHPEAK FUNERAL PRACTICES

Only those closest to the departed (close friends, parents, siblings, lovers, etc) are allowed to wish safe passage to the recently deceased’s spirit.

The fairlead will offer a speech that details the life and skills of the departed while the body is being prepared for transport and burial. The speech is crafted by both the fairlead, and the one who the departed was closest with.

In the wake of a death, traditionally, the whole faction will fast for nine days after the body has been delivered to the Evergreens. However, if it will hurt the health of an individual, their fasting is dismissed/altered in favor of offering a small portion of every meal to burn during those nine days.

In paw-carved stone tunnels, the bodies are excoriated by cave animals, while the bones are then stripped, collected, and cleansed, then most are offered to the Evergreens for burial, while smaller bones are "given back" to the faction, "so that their bodies may continue to serve while their spirits rest".

MIGHTMIRE FUNERAL PRACTICES

In the immediate wake of a fallen’s death, their loved ones hold a silent vigil that is to last throughout the entire night, to wish the soul goodbye properly.

While only the lorekeepers may prepare the body for burial and transportation, the whole of their friends, immediate and extended family, any paws’ they may have trained, their own mentors, etc, will hold the vigil.

Once the body is prepared by the lorekeeper’s paws, they will traditionally accompany the Evergreens (and envoy) to take the body and bury it beneath the Tree.

Just before a body is buried, the faction’s lorekeepers will tuck the claw’s blade and amulet beneath the body’s jaw or within the mouth.

OUTPOUR FUNERAL PRACTICES

Unlike in other factions, Outpour funerals are treated as a grand celebration, rather than a somber event.

The body itself is offered to the Evergreens, but all their decorations and trinkets are stripped and set upon a woven, circular raft decorated with flowers and shells, that are then sent down the rivers.

Afterwards, the life of the newly deceased is then celebrated by their living factionmates with a grand feast, music, games, as well as the whole night being spent exchanging stories of their dead companion.

To be shared through voice - especially song - or action is believed by the pourfolk to be the best way to honor a folk, and ensure that their memory is shared throughout both the faction and the Fealty by large.

UNDERMOOR FUNERAL PRACTICES

After holding a faction-wide, respectful, pure silence for three days, the fairlead and the deceased’s family prepare the body for burial.

The body is cleaned, stripped of any trinkets, patched or their wounds, and with any exposed skin or scars covered in paint.

As the Undermoor is usually the smallest faction, it is tradition for the whole of the faction to travel with the Evergreens on their way to the Tree of Souls for the body’s burial.

Their means of mourning and burial preparation is widely considered the most “hands-off” or “sparse” of the factions.
