@killerqueen-ofwillowgreen reading Only The Brave by @solmussa while i’m reading The Catfish & The King by @thebibutterflyao3 is like that Nicholas Galitzine tiktok audio that goes “my life is the crown and yours is politics, and i will not trade one prison for another.” then switches to “im sorry i looked at mrs. riley and lightly grazed her left tit alright?” (respectively). peri is SUFFERING with the angst and im giggling at how silly everyone is.

Alex Keller SFW relationship headcanons 
Since my first post on this man did good, here's some SFW relationship headcanons to feed your delusions 😀
No warnings on this one, folks. Was made with both masc and fem readers in mind, but some of the specific headcanons are leaning towards a specific gender.
Enjoy!
-Love languages are physical touch and acts of service. Loves giving + receiving touch, but feels more inclined to spoil you by doing things for you.
-Will do chores you despise if you're sick/tired. As much as you may insist it's fine and that you can do it, every once in a while you'll find your designated chores (as well as the ones Alex already does) finished.
-He passes out compliments like it's candy, and his words are honestly as sweet as it, too. So sincere with everything he says, no matter how self-conscious you may be, he'll do everything in his power to make you feel like royalty.
-A big fan of just relaxing with you. Y'all could be doing basically anything, whether it's watching TV or making food or cuddling, and no matter how mundane things may be, Alex would much rather just enjoy the simple moments and appreciate the time he's able to spend with you. 
-Nicknames for you include: Baby (baby girl/boy/doll), sweetheart, sunshine, dolly, darling and the occasional love or sugar. 
-I feel like he's a God at back massages. No particular reason why, he's just good at them. 
-The inside jokes are top tier. The type of inside jokes you and Alex have are probably so ridiculous that to anyone besides you two, you guys look insane. 
-Whenever he sees anything that reminds him of an inside joke y'all have, he'll literally have to place a hand over his mouth while snorting. Then he'll text you about it so fast he makes like 12 spelling mistakes. 
-If you have a favorite animal, color, show, etc, you best believe he's going to go out of his way to buy you gifts of those things. He'll just come home one day with a plushie of your favorite animal with the widest grin on his face. 
-"Look what I found at the mall! You still like bears, right?" (Totally didn't use bears as an example bc my favorite animal are bears..) 
-Loves relaxing on your chest. Whether you're taller or shorter, it doesn't matter. Your chest = his pillow. 
-Loves it when you run a hand through his hair or touch his facial hair. Also, please cup his cheek and give him as many kisses as you possibly can.
-Will MELT if you fall asleep on him. 
-His favorite places to kiss you are the cheeks, forehead, nose and ofc the lips. 
-Always has an arm around your shoulder or waist or holds your hand in public. He's not very possessive or anything, but he just feels the need to show you off. Its kinda like he's saying "Hey, look at the absolute eye-candy I scored." And he gets all smiley when someone compliments you. 
-Favorite cuddling positions are spooning (he always insists on being the big spoon), or where you're practically on top of him and using his chest as a pillow (and vice versa). 
-If you also want kids and can get pregnant, he's completely fussing over you the entire time. You're not allowed to lift a finger 
-He'll also do the same if you're sick or on your period if you're afab. 
-Once, while he was on deployment, you got sick and told him about it. 
-"Aw, sunshine. I'm so sorry to hear that :(" is what his text said, before asking you exactly what you needed. Then boom, all of a sudden his mother pays you a surprise visit and makes you some soup. It's totally not like he asked if she'd be willing to check up on you or anything because he couldn't be there..totally not 🙃
-Also, I headcanon him to be a major mama's boy. Maybe he's got an older sister or two as well, idk. 
-I feel like family is very important to him. As such, he's always dragging you over to see his family. 
-Always getting you to play with any nephews/nieces he may have and when you do, he gets massive baby fever. 
-Either way, I feel he's fairly knowledgeable on things like periods and such, which is probably why he's so good at taking care of you
-If you're amab and need some new clothes, he'll gladly go through his old ones and see if anything catches your eye. 
-Will let you wear a shirt of his regardless of gender, though. 
-He knows how much you love wearing his t-shirts and sweaters, regardless of if they fit you or not. So, one time while he was on deployment, he "forgot" a shirt at home and once he "realized" he'd "forgotten" it, he told you to keep it safe. 
-"Alex? I think you left a shirt behind." 
-"Thats alright, sunshine. I've got plenty of other clothes. Can you please keep it nice and warm til I get back?" 
-Y'all always have a meal over FaceTime together when he's deployed. 
-Whenever he sees something that reminds him of you, he sends you a text and a picture of said thing. 
-And said thing is usually either really beautiful, like the sunset or a flower that caught his eye, or something really stupid like a pic of a weird looking cat from the internet or a giant rat he saw around base. 
-"Saw the rat that's been terrorizing the base's kitchen today. Reminded me of you ❤" 
Tumblr media
-"Wtf"
-"Why would a rat remind you of me?" 
-"Because it steals my food and leaves crumbs everywhere but is still pretty damn cute." 
-"🖕" 
-"Love you too, dolly." 
-Def wants some sort of pet with you, especially a dog. 
-If you're allergic to dogs, he'll try to get a hypoallergenic breed.
-Although he's certainly not opposed to most other pets! Prefers dogs to cats, but he still likes them, so if you would prefer a cat he's down to get one. 
-Asks for pics of said pet while on deployment constantly. 
-And when he's home, his entire camera roll is just filled with the goofiest pet pics. 
-Such a bad cameraman when it comes to animals for no reason. Will make the most beautiful, expensive and well-groomed ragdoll cat look like a sewer rat with just one photo 💀
-Somehow takes amazing pics of you, though. Manages to make you look absolutely gorgeous/handsome everytime. 
-Stays up late just chuckling at messages between you two on deployment. Does the same for pictures of you, too.  
-When he returns home, though, there's barely a night where he's up past 11 pm, because you're there to cuddle him to sleep. 
-Overall, Alex would just be such an attentive, loving partner. You, your safety, your family and making you laugh are his main priorities.
Another one done! Definitely enjoying writing these, so let me know who I should do next.

MRA's love to claim that if women were in charge the world would go to shit bc we'd "get our periods and declare war," which is obviously a batshit insane, uneducated, and maximally misogynistic belief to begin with. I shouldn't have to tell you that our periods don't actually make us emotionally unstable, that in fact fewer than 20% of college-age women (women who aren't even old enough for the prefrontal cortex to finish developing, and thus are far from old enough to, for example, be eligible to run for US president) even report "severe" psychological symptoms of PMS - and this includes symptoms like depressed mood and anxiety.
in fact, PMS isn't even something all women experience. and of those who do, there's a huge variety of ways it can present. most symptoms women associate with PMS are not emotional: bloating, body soreness, headaches, oversleeping, food cravings, nausea/vomiting, hot flashes, breast tenderness....
from the article linked above: "Definitions of PMS and diagnostic criteria to identify cases have varied substantially over the years and across studies, in large part due to the heterogeneity of women’s menstrual symptom experience. Over 150 symptoms have been associated with PMS."
overwhelmingly, research shows that the effect of PMS on women in the workplace is the same as that of any other medical problem/illness: some people miss some work if it's severe enough. which, considering that symptoms can often include various types of pain that can be quite severe, as well as common illness symptoms like nausea and vomiting, it makes perfect sense that some women would need to take a day off or leave a bit early at times. what the research does NOT say is that PMS causes women to behave in irrational ways that negatively impact the quality of her work.
so let's be truthful. why would female leaders mean more war when women and girls are so overwhelmingly and horrifically sexually victimized as a result?
if most women don't even experience severe mood symptoms with PMS, and having mood symptoms doesn't mean one is unable to control her actions/behaviors (I know this concept of self-control is foreign to most men, but we're pretty good at it!), and there's absolutely zero evidence to suggest that severe PMS mood symptoms would or could ever lead to declaring war, and women old enough to hold office in most countries have many years of experience managing their pre/peri-menstrual symptoms (if they even have any), and most world leaders are past the age women stop even having periods at all, and we see that women in other leadership positions are absolutely crushing it all over the world, and there IS significant evidence showing that women in numerous fields actually outperform male peers (despite feeling significantly less respected in higher-rank positions than males feel, as well as feeling more discouraged and frustrated) and are more emotionally intelligent, there IS evidence that women are less influenced by and better at regulating anger in the workplace, and there IS indisputable evidence that men are more violent than women in general, regardless of the reason, and there IS indisputable evidence that women and girls suffer mass victimization by men during wartime... then maybe, just maybe, women are actually less likely than men to start wars. but there's only one way to find out for sure 😏

Virtual Character Tourney - Battle for 9th! (and 10th!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)
Kasane propaganda:
HER DREAM WAS TO ONE DAY BECOME A REAL VOCALOID AMD SHE FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! ITS NOT A VOCALOID VOICE BANK BUT ITS A FULL SYNTH V VOICEBANK!!!!! AND A NEW DESIGN!!!!! SHE DID IT SHE GOT HER DREAMS!!!!!! YOURE NEVER TOO OLD TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!!
Kasane Teto is a vocal synth, she started out as an april fools joke to parody VOCALOID, with her voice bank in UTAU. although she did start out as just a joke a lot of vocaloid fans grew to really love her and she became rather popular. Kasane Teto is to UTAU as Hatsune Miku is to VOCALOID. But recently on Kasane Teto's 15th anniversary, April 1st 2023, she got moved from UTAU to SynthV. With her voice bank now in SynthV she also got a new character deign alone with how her voice and her singing sounds much more clear and human like than her UTAU voice bank which sounded a lot more mechanical/robotic.
ART propaganda:
ART (Asshole Research Transport, nicknamed by Murderbot), formally known as the space ship The Perihelion (in italics but this is a Google Form), also known as Peri (nicknamed by it's human family) is a super illegal highly advanced AI that was created by a university. It grew up with two human dads and a human sister. It and its crew go on research trips that are cover for allying with people and communities at the edges (and beyond) of the capitalist hellscape that is the Corporate Rim. It also goes on espionage missions by itself, without its human crew and family, posing as an automated cargo ship. It was during one of these missions that it picked up Murderbot, a super-duper illegal bot-human security unit construct that had hacked the torture device implanted in all bot-human constructs so that it could disobey orders and walk away from its "owners" without dying. Murderbot uses its illegal freedom to watch television, a habit it passes on to ART. Turns out ART doesn't like shows where human crew members get hurt.
ART is the AI that controls/is the research and teaching vessel Perihelion. (Perihelion is usually what people call it, but the protagonist of the series calls it ART so that's the name I put. ART stands for Asshole Research Transport.) It is extremely intelligent and advanced and also extremely sarcastic and condescending. 100% earned the name ART. ART will do absolutely anything for its crew!! It was developed and "raised" alongside the captain's daughter, Iris, and they're like siblings. Its crew calls it Peri. They do corporate espionage on the side to help bring down said corporations. It has a "debris deflection system" which is definitely not a weapon because ART isn't legally allowed to have a weapon. Definitely just for debris, don't worry about it. It's friends with the aforementioned protagonist, Murderbot, and ART is very good at bullying it into actually leaving its comfort zone when it needs to. They care about each other a lot, and they like to binge watch TV shows together. I don't want to write too much but I just love it a lot.
Ene propaganda:
She's blue. Headphone actor and yuukei yesterday are also bangers
Epic gamer cybergirl. Miku adjacent
She's a girl that was forced to become digital but is still a good friend. She may not have a body anymore but she's still important to the plot.
Murder-Bot 2.0 propaganda:
Sapient computer virus made from bits of two other AI characters (the original Murderbot and a spaceship AI). Unlike its not-parents, it is genuinely just code and doesn't have a physical body. Its only physical presence is through its effects on the machinery it infects, and it considers its "body" to be the code rather than any combination of physical objects. Also it was literally made to cause problems on purpose, does so enthusiastically, gives several people including its creators existential crises, and saves one of its creators (and other people from the (literal) fallout of the other creator learning the first one got killed)
Murderbot 2.0 is sentient killware created by Murderbot and ART with the purpose of being sent on a suicide mission. It has some of Murderbot's memories, but not all because it doesn't have any hardware of it's own to store that much information in. It travels by hopping in between other computer systems (mostly bots and bot-human constructs). It named itself Murderbot 2.0. It freed a security construct named Three. It's nicer and more open than both its parents.
EDI propaganda:
EDI is the AI of the Normandy starting with Mass Effect 2. Through dialogue EDI can become more human-like in her way of thinking, developing different kinds of relationships with the crew. In Mass Effect 3 she uploads herself into a body so she can freely move around and can be taken to missions, but she is still part of the ship's system.
Holly propaganda:
Due to a pay dispute with Holly's original actor, Norman Lovett, Holly was instead played by Hattie Hayridge during seasons 3-5. This was explained briefly in the show as them having gone through a "computer sex change". This makes Holly canonically trans do not @ me.
holly is the silliest most specialest ai ever. she has an iq of 6,000 but sometimes it seems like his iq is more like 6. they're possibly transgender (do computers have gender??) (i am panicking over pronouns while writing this propaganda) - holly goes from appearing like a man to appearing like a woman with no real explanation(??) and nobody questions this (the show is from the 90s btw). he's hilarious and sometimes lies to the crew for no reason other than 'its a laugh, innit'. shes everything to me <3
Holly is the computer of Red Dwarf, a Tenth Generation AI hologrammatic computer who appears as a floating head on a screen. Can be downloaded onto various other devices. also literally transgender.. meets a female appearing parallel version of itself in a parallel universe and then goes through a sex change after falling in love with her. transgender computer ftw
Tama propaganda:
Tama is the eyeball of Kuruto Ryuki and investigates dream worlds with him. She's his bi emotional support eye who regularly ties him up to help him with stress relief and loves to affectionately tease him. She laughs at bad jokes and has AE10D1F ("Ryuki" in hexadecimal) in her likes on her profile.
OKAY anyway uhm she's like aiba in that she's a little Ai eyeball that helps you investigate except sadly no animal theme. instead she has a domintrix vibe instead!!!! she is so cool… also ermm she's a lot more. Human than aiba. Not literally/physically like uhh emotionally. I haven't finished aini but like she does look out for your best interest! what a good Ai partner i don't kno
She's voiced by Anairis Quiñones and she's an absolute legend
Lyla propaganda:
she is a humanoid ai programmed to help spider-man gather info. she can simulate human emotions and has a high intellect

(I don't know if you do headcannons for your comics, so sorry if you're not comfortable with it!!!)
Headcanon for the Castaway Octonauts AU:
The junior octo agents (at least try) to bring back the octonauts and find Barnacles at some point.
For example, it just fits Koshi to be determined to keep "The Case of the Beached Barnacles" in her free time,
As well as for Ursa and Orsom to be too determined to not give up on their uncle who survived the catastrophe of their first 'Polar Bear Track' (I forgot what its called-) with them.
As Periwinkle got older, he could see how much his uncle was hurt by everything, and despite not knowing much about the team, could still see how much
Even Pinto who loved and respected the Octonauts team would be in disbeleif that they would give up (Even if they did try their best and kept the search up for all those months.) And would try to pry the details out of a reluctant Peso.
Maybe they'd pull a "Parent Trap, and try to bring the octonauts/octo agents in the same place to try to sort things out, or one or more to leave by themselves to try and find him.
(Whether or not it actually works can create some major fluff or angst)
IDK tho, I feel like the meme with the guy and the conspiracy board-
The Case of the Beached Barnacles- omg I am deceased. That’s brilliant!
Honestly I had a similar thought of how the Junior OctoAgents responded to the team splitting up.
Maybe I can have them like speaking in secret 🤫 with one another to have each other keep tabs on the crew.
Koshi would definitely have a whole notebook about the details of the day the captain disappeared. Dashi would’ve of probably vented to her sister after some convincing.
Periwinkle definitely would feel awful for his uncle Shellington. I feel like he’d ask about why they split up and Shellington would explain how things just got too hard for them. And Peri would absolutely work with the other agents to try and continue the search, even if the team is too distraught.
I do have a bit of how Orson and Ursa (the captain’s niece and nephew) as well as their mother Bianca reacted to hearing that Barnacles disappeared. The cubs were devastated to hear about it but refuse to believe that he could just vanish like that. With them being polar scouts, they’d have contact with Tracker so they would be able to get information on the rest of the team and the agents. Bianca was also devastated by her brother’s disappearance, thought she held strong for her cubs. Though she wasn’t certain if Barnacles was alive or not, she knew Barnacles wouldn’t want her to give up (especially since she’s a mom with two young cubs).
Note: I also have more on Natquik Peso and Tracker. With those three being close with Barnacle’s family through their relationships with the captain, I imagine they keep tabs on Bianca and the cubs. Tracker would keep giving any updates he can get. Natquik, with some help from Peso, always send care packages and gifts to Bianca and the cubs as a way to keep an eye on them for Barnacles.
Now Pinto, OOOOOH Pinto wouldn’t take the news lying down. I’m sure at some point Peso explained what happened (although maybe not in a lot of detail) and tries to get Pinto to understand the situation. However, knowing Pinto, he’d be just like Kwazii and refuse to give up. So while he investigates in his own way, he also would encourage Peso to not give up as well and to reach out as often as he can to the others.
Other OctoAgents do play a role in continuing the search in little ways. Paani and Min especially. Whether it be encouraging the Octonauts to reconcile and get back together, or trying to support them in their time grief and anguish.
Overall your headcanon was amazing to think about.

Star I'm not nearly in as deep here as I was with some of your other interests that I ended up catching (throwback to my Jeremiah anon days), but I gotta say, you are making a CASE for Six. Look at him. How can anyone love him as much as he loves himself.
SIXIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈
oh yes yes yes you are SO correct and i am delighted that the Six propaganda is spreading. just look at him 🥴💖
Tumblr media
Six is an absolute explosion of a man...pompous, verbose, irascible. he's unpredictable and loud and a walking disaster magnet!!! but at the same time...he's sweet, and thoughtful, and has such marvellous wit and humour about him!!!! i'm honestly baffled that he's not often at the top of people's favourite Doctors list!! (although, if the server i'm a part of is any indication, every Doctor is someone's favourite 😉) we all know how terribly Six, and by extension Colin Baker, were fucked over by the BBC during his tenure, and every day it breaks my heart. but the thing is, i'm very nearly at the end of watching Six's run...and i've thoroughly enjoyed every moment!! 🙈 perhaps a bit of a rocky start re: his unstable regeneration, trying to kill Peri, etc. but i honestly love this forthright, brash version of the Doctor. he feels distinctly more alien than some other incarnations, and is also a delight to watch because he's always on the edge of delivering an untenable amount of sass, or doing something ridiculous!! 😂💖 i'd say a lot of the gripes folks have about Six as a character get ironed out within a few episodes...and by that point it's much less to do with bad writing and more to do with someone not liking his characterisation!! yes, he's arrogant, over-the-top and confrontational...but that massive arrogance belies his persona as a tender aesthete who appreciates the beauty of the universe, as well as the individual spark of each person he meets 🥺💖 do keep your eyes open. you never know - Six did get me immediately, as many of my friends suspected. but perhaps Six will sit in your brain for a while and then devour you later 🙈💖

Do the Doctors dance?
One: Pretends that he hates it, but can actually dance very well. Has been known to ballroom dance with Barbara, or grandad-dance with Susan.
Two: Loves to, but has two left feet and keeps getting confused about which step to do. Jamie often has to pick him up off the floor.
Three: Is ridiculously good at every kind of dance and will complain if people assume he’s too old to do so. 
Four: This man has never danced properly in his life. Plus, his scarf trips people up anyway.
Five: Would love to, but all of his kids friends keep refusing to let him dance with them. The sad thing is, he’s actually rather good at it, if a little awkward.
Six: Is absolutely convinced he can, but he really can’t. Has fallen over numerous times and broken at least two different toes after attempting some fancy footwork. Peri and the TARDIS team up to stop him going anywhere near nightclubs.
Seven: He can dance, but only to further ensnare enemies into his plans (no, I don’t get it either). Also, he has to keep making sure Ace isn’t getting too friendly with the person she’s dancing with. 
Eight: Can dance, will dance, and often refuses to stop. 
War: No chance.
Nine: As we all know, he absolutely can dance, but normally doesn’t so as to maintain his image.
Ten: He gives it a go and isn’t especially terrible. Only downside is his habit of running off halfway through because some alien threat is happening.
Eleven: Only in the way that a child does (i.e. having tons of fun, not especially coordinated but is enjoying himself SO MUCH).
Twelve: Definitely can but, like Nine, he has an image to maintain.
Fugitive: Can, but refuses to.
Thirteen: Loves to, but has two left feet and has Eleven’s type of coordination. Not that she realises this. However, as Yaz often leads, this isn’t too much of an issue (they often dance ballroom in modern nightclubs, yes).

riley family hcs:
tw: mentions of post-partum depression and psychosis, mentions of self harm, mentions of death/dying/suicide (no actual death though, everyone is alive!!), allusions to ghost's trauma
- matthew is a big batman enjoyer just like his dad, simon got him matching batman stuff all the time growing up
- matthew is also a big softie, big guy like his dad but is just an absolute softie (biggest animal lover fr)
- lyla's first word was tea because simon asks for tea so much when he's home she picked it up from him
- luka's first word was pineapple and it to this day baffles you and simon
- bug and matthew will never admit it's because they trained him to do it
- 90% of what simon drinks when he is home is tea
- he probably asks for tea at least once an hour
- "baby can you make me some tea?"
- "love, are you making tea? can you make me some too?"
- "do you want to have some tea?"
- "oh, while you're up can you grab me a cuppa?"
- atp just keep the kettle on 24/7 when he's home
- bug kept their middle name, it's joeseph <3
- true to their name, bug used to bring all assortments of bugs home with them as a kid
- literally just pulled a mf earth worm out of his pocket one night at dinner when he was 8
- simon and matthew freaked out
- "ew! why did bring that to the table?!"
- "bug you're gonna make me sick, please get that thing away from our dinner..."
- "matthew! simon! be nice!"
- lyla is a big daddy's girl, luka is a mommy's boy
- idk if i mentioned it before but bug uses they/he pronouns (will use she/her to spite people, only ever to spite people)
- matthew has beat up transphobes at school for bug (and would gladly do it again)
- soap tried so hard to convince simon to name a kid after him
- closest he got was matthew's middle name being john (he'll take the win)
- lyla's middle name is valerie (for the sole reason that mummy likes the song valerie a little too much, it kinda pisses simon off because it's so close to valeria but he lives with it and learns to love it every time he sees his lover dancing around the kitchen to the song)
- luka legally doesn't have a middle name, it's supposed to be spencer
- simon may or may not have forgotten to write it down on the certificate
- he was emotional, okay?
- at least he remembered to put his name there at all??
-he misspelled riley by accident the first time and scribbled it out
- when soap found out he refused to let him live it down and reminds him of it every opportunity he gets
- only for simon to remind him of the time bug shoved a snail down soap's throat when he was a child and soap actually ate it so he wouldn't hurt bug's feelings
- shell and all
- soap shuts up quickly after that
- uncle soap <3
- some sad ones comin your way besties
- simon wasnt exactly a good dad for the first couple years of matthew and bugs lives
- you were both young and he was still very unhealed from his (continuously growing) trauma
- a lot of fights were had
- a lot of simon just leaving in the middle of the night out of nowhere
- it took one really bad fight where you completely broke down in front of him for him to realize that he had to get his shit together
- family therapy appointment was booked the next day for as soon as possible
- truthfully he didn't think it would help, he's always been a big therapy hater
- but to his surprise it helped a lot, of course it still took some time and a lot of hard work but he did eventually grow to become a much better father and partner
- luckily by the time matthew and bug were in their most formative years is when simon had become a bit more stable and a better dad
- of course they still had to go through his deployments and the trauma of not knowing if their dad would come home, but they never ever experienced trauma at the hands of simon
- simon actually suffered PPD and PPP alongside you after you had the kids
- neither of you developed PPP until the twins though
- it was a very big struggle for both of you
- there was a short period of time where you actually had your parents take the kids because neither of you trusted yourselves alone with them
- his lasted much shorter than yours did though
- there was a period of time where you were still suffering both PPD and PPP while simon was deployed and it ended up with you and matthew in the hospital
- you hadn't intended to hurt him, he just happened to get in the way of you hurting yourself and you accidentally hurt him as well
- simon didn't find out until he came home from deployment and saw that you weren't alone at home with the kids but instead had hired a nanny who was trained for situations like this
- he felt awful that he couldn't be there for you when you needed someone so badly
- he could've lost you and he wouldn't have known until he came home
- but he didn't
- anyyywaaaayyyys, back to the happy stuff :3
- bug watches markiplier
- matthew watches buzzfeed unsolved (loves watching it with uncle soap<3)
- sleepovers at uncle soap's when he's off of deployment 🥰
- matthew had a habit of bringing random strays into the house from the ages of 6-10
- or even just random wild animals he somehow befriended
- get home from work and he's just sitting there on the couch with a raccoon in his hands
- you just stand there like ????
- "matthew, please get that thing out of my house..."
- "but why? it's nice mummy."
- "i know you think so honey, but it's really not. it's probably very dirty and wants to be left alone. they live outside for a reason, right bud? if they wanted to be in homes, they would be."
- "fine... five more minutes?"
- "two, no more, no less. and that include your saying goodbye time."
- "fine."

📬we just got a letter🎶
or...well. a package. something ive had my eyes on for a while! its been sitting in my cart on ebay for about a month. eventually i caved and send the seller an offer, they accepted, and UGH IM SO HAPPY. look how cute!!
im not sure of the year. they all have the viacom copyright dated 2000, but copyright dates arent always accurate for this sorta stuff. im guessing its closer to 2003? could be joe era. cant find much info online.
Tumblr media
i got it MOSTLY for the light switch cover. look how cute!!! its since been put up in my room and i love it so so much. theres really not a lot if merch involving periwinkle too, but hes my favorite, so that was half the motivation here tbh.
Tumblr media
these hooks are great. i have them up by my window seat holding up a couple leis i got at a work party, but they also hold my ipad up sometimes LMAO. ive seen this exact render before on other merch, including the bedtime cloth book that the queue kicked through recently. theyre absolutely adorable.
Tumblr media
lastly, the picture frame!! of course featuring peri again. i only just noticed that it says baby blues clues? which seems to have been just for merchandise and books targeted towards, well, babies. rather than big kids, that is. they all kinda have this very specific "soft" art style to them that i enjoy quite a bit.
Tumblr media
but yeah the stars/moons/clouds fit my rooms vibe super well and i love them. im so glad i actually bought them, having more vintage blues clues in my collection is always exciting 💙🐾

2 questions
Do you like answering questions about lapidot?
Do you have any lapidot merch?
I'm happy to answer Lapidot questions!
Lapidot (and SU in general) isn't something I'm as interested in as I used to be, now that the show's over and I wasn't satisfied with the ending. So my knowledge of specific scenes and things like that is getting a little bit rusty in places now, which feels very weird to say after how obsessed I was! The gap left by SU has been filled by Deltarune, and I only have so much space in my brain for this stuff 😂 But I do still love the ship a lot, I think it's forever going to be my OTP despite everything! The journey from crackship to almost-canon was absolutely wild, I've got some great memories from when the show was on and have genuinely made some friends for life because of the ship. It's always going to have a special place in my heart.
As to the merch...
Tumblr media
I used to have a mini Lapdot shrine! Some of this is still in place but it's kinda scattered around now. I also have some other things including the official Lapis and Pumpkin plushies, the mini Lapis and Peri plushies, a custom-made Peri plush, some of the books, and a few art prints including these from dement09:
Tumblr media
The one at the top is framed and still hanging on the wall in my living room.

Doctor Who Shipping Statistics: Because I'm Bored and I Like This Sort of Thing
So, I decided to see which Doctor Who ships were the most popular in the fandom, not because it matters, but because shipping is fun.
This probably isn't an accurate ranking of which ships are the most popular though, because it's just the amount of fics on Ao3. I'm only going off Ao3 because it's the only fic site where statistics are easy to find, because pairings are tagged and the number of fics with a tag can be counted.
If there's a really popular ship that people don't write fic for, for some reason, it won't show up on my radar, which is fine because this isn't exactly Science. It's fucking around with lists out of curiosity.
So, let's get started!
I started off with just finding the top 10 ships for Doctor Who in general. To no one's surprise, it was completely dominated by New Series pairings. The New Series tends to encourage more shipping and is ongoing, so more people are paying attention to it. Therefore, more fic.
10/Rose
13/Yaz
11/River
Metacrisis 10/Rose (That's the human clone of 10 btw)
9/Rose
12/Clara
Amy/Rory
Doctor (in general)/Rose
Doctor (in general)/River
Doctor (in general)/Master
Only Doctor/Master could be a pairing without any New Series characters, because that would include Classic!Doctor/Classic!Master.
Also, you might notice a lot of Rose. Get used to that. She's inescapable.
Anyway, I decided to filter the search to only E-Rated fics to see if there was a major difference when smut was involved. This didn't actually change very much:
10/Rose
13/Yaz
Doctor/Master (the Master comes up a lot more on the smut list lol)
12/Clara
Metacrisis 10/Rose
9/Rose
13/Dhawan!Master
10/Simm!Master
10/Jack (of course he'd show up more on the smut list)
11/River
What this reveals is that people are more interested in Doctor/Master smut than Doctor/Master romance, which honestly makes a lot of sense. The smut list is also slightly less het than the overall list. Slash fans appear to be the horniest of shippers. As a slash smut writer/enthusiast, I can't really protest.
But, what about Classic Who? I was more interested in Classic than New, so I looked at fics tagged Doctor Who (1963) specifically, instead of Doctor Who in general. Most Classic Who fics are tagged this way, so you'll find more Classic Who there. Here's the results:
Doctor/Master
2/Jamie
10/Rose (Yes, there's still new stuff in hear and of course it's Rose)
3/Delgado!Master
Tegan/Nyssa
4/Sarah Jane
7 and Ace (Notice the and. Platonic relationships get tagged too)
Ian/Barbara
6/Peri
5/Ainley!Master
And I did an E-Rated Only list for Doctor Who (1963) as well:
Doctor/Master
6/Peri (They seem to be more popular as smut than anything else)
3/Delgado!Master
5/Ainley!Master
2/Jamie
Tegan/Nyssa
5/Tegan (I see a lot of fics for this ship and feel strangely jealous...)
10/Simm!Master (A new series ship that isn't 10/Rose?!)
Mel/Ace
7/Ace (No and this time. They get shipped sometimes.)
Once again, Doctor/Master gets a lot of smut. Also, I think this is the first list to not include 10/Rose :)
Look, I don't hate 10/Rose. I'm pretty indifferent towards 10/Rose. Rose is nowhere near my favorite companion, but nowhere near my least favorite either. I just get a bit tired of seeing her absolutely everywhere.
I think decided to check for fics tagged with each Classic Doctor to see who they get paired with the most. I'll list every character who they're shipped with in the top 10.
First Doctor: Rose
There are at least 3 separate fics about Rose fucking every incarnation of the Doctor. If it was River or Jack, I probably wouldn't care, but Rose is not the Doctor's One True Love. And least River can claim dibs on having married an incarnation and Jack is Jack. This is what I mean about seeing her everywhere. Rose is often treated like the most important companion in the history of the show when she's just as important as any other companion. There's probably reason for this mindset that I could go into, but I'd like to finish my list first.
I did the E-Rated Only thing for each Doctor as well. Yes, for all of them. I'm curious and I fear no smut.
First Doctor (E): Rose, Barbara (there are at least 2 1/Barbara fics)
Second Doctor: Jamie
E-Rated Only doesn't change that. Fics tagged with the Second Doctor still contain a lot of Rose Ships, but 2 isn't emphasized quite as much. 2/Jamie is basically THE Second Doctor ship.
Third Doctor: Delgado!Master, Brigadier, Jo, Sarah Jane
E-Rated Only is the same characters in a different order
Third Doctor (E): Delgado!Master, Jo, Brigadier, Sarah Jane
Jo gets more smut than the Brig.
Fourth Doctor: Sarah Jane, Romana II, Sarah Jane/Harry, Rose, Ainley!Master
The Rose Fucks Everyone fics strike again! Also, we get our first OT3 with 4/Sarah Jane/Harry.
Fourth Doctor (E): Sarah Jane, Leela, Rose
Of course Leela would get more smut. I'm surprised with the lack of Romana though. Both Romanas are gorgeous and 4/Romana is the closest to a canon Doctor/Companion ship we get in Classic Who. Maybe it's a Time Lord Thing.
Okay, on to the Fifth.
Fifth Doctor: Ainley!Master, Tegan, Turlough, Nyssa, Rose
Yes, 5/Tegan is more popular than 5/Turlough right now. I'm fine really. 5/Master being at the top of the list is kind of what I'd expected though.
Fifth Doctor (E): Ainley!Master, Tegan, Turlough, Nyssa, Simm!Master, 6
Unlike most Classic Doctors, 5 is Young and Pretty, so he reminds people of 10 and gets porn with 10's Master. Also, Tegan is still ahead of Turlough.
Shipping wars are mostly bad, especially when people try to claim a moral high ground for their ship. I don't want to get involved in any hostilities just because my ship isn't as popular as another ship.
However, maybe encouraging some friendly competition by saying "more 5/Turlough fic should be written" wouldn't be going too far. If you ship 5/Turlough and write fanfiction, write a 5/Turlough fic because winning is fun.
Anyway, how about the Sixth Doctor?
Sixth Doctor: Peri, Ainley!Master, Rose
Sixth Doctor (E): Peri, Ainley!Master, Mel, 5, Charley, Rose
Our first Big Finish companion! Also, I was so distracted by shipping jealousy with 5 that I forgot to mention the selfcest. I think one person wrote a bunch of 5/6 smut fics.
Seventh Doctor: Ace, Ainley!Master
Ace was 7's definitive companion, so if people want to ship him with someone, I'm guessing she's the obvious choice. I personally see 7 as the one incarnation I just can't pair with anyone, but People Can Do Whatever They Want Forever.
That includes writing smut! The E-Rated Only round is the same two pairings in the same order.
Lastly, we get the Eighth Doctor. He's always interesting in terms of fandom because his televised run was one movie. Anyone who's familiar with him has had to see out audios and novels. The audios and the novels each of their own Definitive Eighth Doctor Companion.
But they somehow all lose to fucking Rose again!
Eighth Doctor: Rose, Charley, Fitz, Grace
The three Not Roses can all be explained. Charley is the Definitive BF Eighth Doctor Companion and the Big Finish audios are the most popular Eighth Doctor stories, especially since they're still ongoing in some form. The EDA novels ended around the time the new series began, so Fitz isn't as well-known as Charley. But, in the book version of the Eighth Doctor's adventures, Fitz is basically 8's Jamie. He's a guy who stays with him forever and is more prominent than the female companions of the era.
As for Grace, she's the only onscreen Eighth Doctor companion and they kiss.
The Eighth Doctor was the first Doctor to really be portrayed romantically. 1 got a one-shot love interest and the first four classic Doctors were allowed to flirt with someone from time to time. The Doctor wasn't a traditional male lead and he didn't have long-term love interests because no one writing him was really into that. It wasn't until the 1980s that Doctor romances were flat out banned. They made JNT nervous.
This led to a period of time where not only did the Doctor not get love interests, but it had to be emphasized that Doctor Who Has Never Fucked Ever. Not even for reproduction. The 20th anniversary came with a Radio Times short story establishing that Susan was adopted. Along with that, when filming The Five Doctors, Carol Ann Ford was told not to call the Doctor "grandfather", because that might make people think the Doctor had sex at some point. Ford laughed at the whole thing and was allowed, for continuity's sake, to call the Doctor "grandfather" anyway.
There's nothing inherently wrong with interpreting the Doctor as aroace, or Not Having Fucked Ever and Susan being adopted. It just shouldn't be something treated as Sacred Lore That the Americans Ruined With Their Stupid Movie. The rule against the Doctor having love interests was made by a producer that the same fans who claim that this rule is sacred usually fucking hate.
Doctor Who fucks however much you want him to.
But, because 8 was allowed to have love interests, 8/Charley, 8/Fitz, and 8/Grace are all varying levels of canon. I haven't listened to much of 8's BF stuff yet, but from what I can tell, 8/Charley was mostly one-sided, but might've not been. 8/Fitz wasn't as directly discussed in-universe and came across as Canon in All But Name.
We got sidetracked. Here's the E-Rated Only thing:
Eighth Doctor (E): Rose, Charley, Fitz, Roberts!Master, Jacobi!Master
Of course there's Master smut. This is an established pattern.
Since we've already gotten sidetracked, I'd also like to say a bit more about Rose.
I think that for fans that got into the show at any time other than right as the new series began, it's hard to see why Rose is not only super popular, but still dominant in fandom, appearing in more Ao3 fics than any incarnation of the Doctor. The thing is, Rose was the first companion for a lot of people and her introduction worked differently than similar first companions.
If you started watching the classic or new series at any point but the very beginning, someone had probably already told you that companions come and go. No individual companion is a vital component of the show. You might get really attached to Sarah Jane, but she leaves and the show continues without her. This will happen to every companion.
The only exceptions to this were people starting at the beginning of a series, before any companions had left yet. This makes Susan/Ian/Barbara as a team similar to Rose as existing before the show could exist without them. But, there's three of them and only one Rose.
There's also the way their introductions are set up. Both An Unearthly Child and Rose (the episode) start with the companions and introduce the Doctor through their eyes. They're normal people in present day London who walk into something strange. But, there's a certain even distribution between characters in An Unearthly Child. The entire show is named for the Doctor, the first episode is named for Susan, but Ian and Barbara are the real main characters.
But, though Doctor Who is still named after the Doctor, the first story is called Rose and is about Rose. To someone unfamiliar with the classic series, the show has established Rose as the main character of Doctor Who, the center of the show's universe. The idea that there could be Doctor Who without Rose doesn't seem to add up.
In Series 2, School Reunion is the point where Rose (and the new audience along with her) learns that the Doctor traveled with humans before her. She's traveled with Jack, so she knows that other companions can happen, but she thought she was the first, the special human the Doctor bonded with. She's special, but only because all of the Doctor's companions are special. She's part of a group of special people.
While the classic series audience would've recognized Sarah Jane and enjoyed seeing her again, the new audience would've learned that the Doctor had companions before Rose at all. You could swap Sarah Jane with a completely original character that the Doctor recognizes as a former companion, and the same point would be made.
So, School Reunion attempted to do some damage control. Rose was leaving at the end of the season and establishing that she wasn't the first companion would make it clear that this would be a normal part of the show. Doctor Who would go on without Rose.
But, the show was incapable of leaving it there. After a Big Dramatic Exit, Rose haunted the show longer than any companion had before, new series companions included. Until Jack returns in Utopia, the Doctor doesn't seem that upset over losing him. The show moved on. But, Series 3 has the Doctor still not over Rose, causing him to be a dick to Martha. Audience members that warmed up to Martha will be mad at the Doctor now and audience members still upset over Rose will turn on Martha because the Doctor does.
Series 4 brings Rose back and gives her a second send-off, once again establishing that the show can't let Rose go. It wasn't until the change of showrunner that Rose was allowed to be just another companion.
This was sort of the same thing that happened when 10 regenerated. The show wouldn't let the characters go, so audiences that'd grown attached refused to let go either, screwing over the next in line. Rose is treated as the Most Important Companion because the show wouldn't let her go, when the show normally lets companions go.
So, that's why Rose is shipped with every Doctor and is inescapable. Once again, I don't dislike Rose. I just find it annoying when she's given special treatment, though from everything I've just said, I know why. I started watching Doctor Who right before the 50th anniversary, almost exactly a decade ago, so when I starting watching the show on Netflix, I saw how many seasons there were and knew that things changed a lot. When my friends talked about the show, it was all 11th Doctor stuff, but I already knew that he was on his way out. I consider 12 to be My Doctor because he was the first Doctor I experienced live, basically. He showed up around the same time I did.
Watching the 1st Doctor's episodes for the first time while overhearing multiple hissy fits over the new Doctor being "too old" was an experience.
Okay, I've rambled this thing to death. Hope we all learned something.

just finished Planet Of Fire part 2 and although I'm not as hopelessly sad at being close running out of turlough and 5 episodes as I was with 2, jamie and zoe it's started to hit me how I actually adore these characters and don't want to say goodbye to them. I'm not ready.
I mean, I saw Resurrection Of The Daleks earlier this afternoon and now I'm just spending the whole time watching peri in this serial going "pathetic. hopeless. tegan would never. #notmycompanion" because tegan is absolutely iconic and she's been there since goddamn Logopolis in season 18 and it's just plain weird not having her around anymore. Sorry peri but you haven't immediately caught my attention like tegan did
agghhh classic who really hitting you with the anticipation of having to say goodbye because you know what's coming next. With nuwho you don't know what's coming which is good for some other reasons but omfg the anticipation of knowing exactly when and how a companion departs from fandom osmosis and just watching you edge closer and closer and love the character more and more omfg it's PAIN and I'd never have it any other way.
Like when I was watching season 19 and the amazing shit like adric spend the whole dance just getting food in Black Orchid. And I was just like "omg just like me fr iconic i love it". And then it hit me that he's going to be blown up in a few episodes. He's going to fucking die.

Virtual Character Tourney - Round 4 - Bracket 1 - 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)
P03 propaganda:
bro literally is stuck in a floppy disk and its whole goal is to perform 'the great transcendence' and upload the game its trapped in into the web to copy itself across the entire internet in attempts to be in charge
ART propaganda:
ART (Asshole Research Transport, nicknamed by Murderbot), formally known as the space ship The Perihelion (in italics but this is a Google Form), also known as Peri (nicknamed by it's human family) is a super illegal highly advanced AI that was created by a university. It grew up with two human dads and a human sister. It and its crew go on research trips that are cover for allying with people and communities at the edges (and beyond) of the capitalist hellscape that is the Corporate Rim. It also goes on espionage missions by itself, without its human crew and family, posing as an automated cargo ship. It was during one of these missions that it picked up Murderbot, a super-duper illegal bot-human security unit construct that had hacked the torture device implanted in all bot-human constructs so that it could disobey orders and walk away from its "owners" without dying. Murderbot uses its illegal freedom to watch television, a habit it passes on to ART. Turns out ART doesn't like shows where human crew members get hurt.
ART is the AI that controls/is the research and teaching vessel Perihelion. (Perihelion is usually what people call it, but the protagonist of the series calls it ART so that's the name I put. ART stands for Asshole Research Transport.) It is extremely intelligent and advanced and also extremely sarcastic and condescending. 100% earned the name ART. ART will do absolutely anything for its crew!! It was developed and "raised" alongside the captain's daughter, Iris, and they're like siblings. Its crew calls it Peri. They do corporate espionage on the side to help bring down said corporations. It has a "debris deflection system" which is definitely not a weapon because ART isn't legally allowed to have a weapon. Definitely just for debris, don't worry about it. It's friends with the aforementioned protagonist, Murderbot, and ART is very good at bullying it into actually leaving its comfort zone when it needs to. They care about each other a lot, and they like to binge watch TV shows together. I don't want to write too much but I just love it a lot.
