He also gave his kids a goblin themed (the North Polar Bear comes up with it based on goblin cave art) writing system to decipher, it's legitimately good.
If you can get a copy of the book, I seriously recommend you do. It's such a good read.
I got 4 points and 'won'! :D
Thank you so much.
Did you all remember Worm Crowley? Well, since the Peter Anderson Studio publish it I though I would do him justice. So I made him kiss Aziraphale in a little silly game.
You can try it here:
Hope you like it :) I enjoyed making it.
A little advice: Aziraphale is a little shy and we all know he wait 6000 years to do it so be patient with him please.
So you know the rumour about a Margot Robbie PotC film...p
she's everything
Just going to yeet nonsense into the void so it stops taking up room in my head:
12 remembers Clara at the end of his life, is overcome by such a strong impression (around 2 and a half series) of girlboss energy that he returns to what is best described as earliest known (in-universe) settings. There's possibly thoughts about Missy there too.
13 can be very inconsistent in opinions, I like that she genuinely seems to hate the Master though. Other New Who doctors were all, "Noooo..... you were my best friend, you can be good!" This is good, but 13 thinks the one version of the Master she had gotten through to just ran away and abandoned her.
Throw in a Master who's seemingly regressed to all-out mania as a coping mechanism after getting hurt as Missy, and their dynamic makes more sense.
The comment regarding de-cloaking the Master around the Nazis was still seriously fucked up. I genuinely wonder what the writers of that era were on half the time.
Flux was pretty fun, though.
I have a joke about math but im 2² to say it
To be fair, Largo goes through that anyway.
I've written Largo into enough of a genuinely mentally harmful situation over the past day that I think it's only fair I draw him all snuggled up and comfy at some point too. Give him a break.
Favorite bird genre has got to be 'that's literally just a dinosaur'

Ya know what? Even before JK Rowling outed herself as a substandard primate, I wasn't a big fan. Harry Potter is the least bingeable fantasy series I've read.
Lord of the Rings? Perfect for binge reading.
Discworld? Streaming services envy the variety.
Harry Potter? Tonal whiplash like there's no tomorrow. Went from kids books to being for edgy teens that don't want to be embarrassed yet.
At least How to Train Your Dragon doesn't try to change demographic that quickly. It actually matures over the series and takes time to transition, instead of just switching to a different style out of nowhere.
Soz for the ramble in tags.
As someone from a more average family, I’ve always been fascinated by your anecdotes about your upbringing. What’s it like to have parents so deeply immersed in fandom, and when did you realize that most kids’ parents have zero familiarity with fandom stuff?
as soon as I brought up renfaires and D&D and filk songs and cthulhu carols at school and got bullied about it :/ made it pretty obvious nobody knew or cared what I was talking about
But it was nice! Being raised in fandom, a thing built entirely from open enthusiasm for things you love, taught me to pursue things not because they were popular or What Was Expected Of Me, but because I loved them. I think it laid some major foundations in my worldview that helped me avoid a lot of normative expectations that wouldn't have worked for me, just by teaching me from minute one that things that are weird and unpopular can be perfect for you, and things that seem to work for everyone else can not work for you, and that's okay.
Once you've internalized "this seems to be something everyone does/likes/wants, but the thing I want seems to be almost unheard of - and yet I still want it" it may be easier to apply this to things like recognizing one's orientation (in my case "this all seems boring and weird and extremely limiting, but everyone acts like it's normal and great, so I think I'm just gonna… not do it"), pursuing unorthodox careers, and just… trying the weird things and seeing what works.
Identifying the things you love doing is already a difficult exercise, and it's made much more difficult by artificial filters like "these things are Cool And Sexy while these other things are Cringe And Weird and Should Not Be Liked." Being able to decouple your brain from the high school popularity contest makes the search for your passions that much easier, and I think I started with a serious leg up thanks to the guidance and unconditional support of two absolute nerds.
Beckett is an overextending little nob.
Imagine being part of the West India Co. and this smug tyke shows up with more naval power than any governor in the area, taking not only control of the government but also the economy.
East the long way around my backside.
pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
