@quaintnecromancer I don't want to post this huge fucking idea under someone else's post because I feel like I'd annoy them, but...

Sickeningly familiar...

What if... and I'm just ranting my fanon about it here, but...

Enver didn't want to become famous with his father's name - that man literally sold him to a warlock (devil), and he wouldn't make history with that name. No. He'd break away from that. He is the master of his own fate, and from nothing he'd emerge as something new, something different than his father, thank you very much.

He'd carve a future and a legacy through a name he invented for himself because his parents, especially his father, don't deserve a single gold piece from the fortune and power he'd acquired on his own.

In fact, he goes as far that he takes free will from his parents, because when they had that free will, they've valued their business and gold more than the life and well-being of their own son. They've tossed him in the hands of people who tortured him for fun as a kid. When he should've felt safe and taken care of, everything was taken from him, from his freedom to his dignity. Just because they were bored and they loved it when he begged and screamed.

Fuck that. Fuck the Flymm name.

So he wondered - he needs a good, strong name he could call his own, one that wouldn't make him feel angry whenever he heard it, and he has a few ideas. Eventually, he settles for an idea that the Dark Urge comes up with.

And he fucking loves it. That's him.

Enver Gortash. Strong. Regal. Merciless. Fit for a Banite, much better than the weak and pathetic Flymm.

Enver Flymm is the boy who had been sold, locked up, and beaten for entertainment.

Enver Gortash is the mastermind who seized power and became the most influential politician and inventor of Baldur's Gate and made his adversaries kneel.

Sickeningly familiar... because the Dark Urge helped to create it. And if anyone dared to call Enver Flymm and not Gortash, the Dark Urge relieved them of their tongue on the spot. After a few incidents like that, people collectively stopped ever calling him Flymm again.

One another idea: he'd kept the name Enver because that name came from his mother, and despite everything, deep down, he still loves her. Abandoning the name Flymm rather tells a story about the conflict between father and son; perhaps they've been spared because of his mother. Perhaps that's why he kept Enver, too.

Yet another idea: he keeps the name of his father's business the same, while he owns it, of course. Just to rub it in.

#|| I'm crying on the fucking tram thank you very much #|| Spent half an hour typing this out on my fucking phone. Worth it.#little tyrant [enver gortash]#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg 3 #enver gortash #archduke enver gortash #lord enver gortash #bits and pieces [headcanon]#|| My fingers are freezing off it's fucking cold outside but GORTASH AAAAAAAA!

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 27

The Eleventh Doctor once mentioned that he had gotten married a lot. One of those marriages might have been to Captain Jack Harkness, but he wasn’t sure since there were so many people in the room at the time.

Cricket is a leftover race memory from the gruesome Krikkit Wars. The Krikkitmen wore outfits similar to human cricket uniforms. The fact that this outfit was recognizable by many as that worn by those who wanted to wipe out the rest of the universe apparently did not stop the Fifth Doctor from wearing precisely that outfit.

The Terrible Zodin is the third most wanted criminal in the galaxy after the Master and the Rani.

Martha Jones blogged about at least a few of her TARDIS adventures on MySpace.

The Eighth Doctor continuously lied to his companion Lucie Miller about her aunt. Her aunt had long ago been replaced with a Zygon copy, and she only found out when she was comatose and overheard them talking about it while having an out of body experience.

There is an opera based on the Doctor.

The Doctor - and probably other Time Lords - have two more ribs than humans do.

Ace once managed to lift the TARDIS (albeit an alternate universe one) with a single hand while she had a broken arm.

A Gallifreyan expletive is "Otherf-" (he was cut off but you can guess the rest).

Soul catching is a Time Lord rite in which a Time Lord would transfer their mind into that of another before assimilating into the Matrix.

The Eighth Doctor also had a sexual encounter with Bernice Summerfield.

The Third Doctor recalled never being taught Venusian aikido. He theorized that he had learned it in a previous life before the Doctor existed.

It is possible to swap bodies while in Gallifreyan telepathic contact.

N-Space has been referred to as the Five Hundred and Third Universe.

Queen Elizabeth I originally had the Tenth Doctor tortured and sentenced to beheading as a spy. She had given him a stay of execution for a picnic, during which the Doctor proposed to her.

Kate once witnessed the Fourth Doctor get his scarf caught in a door. He had thought he was caught in some sort of force field.

Lolita (the Master's first TARDIS) believes that Time Lords were created by her mother (the Matrix) in order to give TARDISes a purpose.

The Fifteenth Doctor took Ruby Sunday to Manchester in the future. While he was telling her all about figures from Manchester's history, oblivious to his surroundings, Ruby noticed that they were standing on tram tracks and were about to be run over.

Ohm is an old, mad god of the Time Lords.

Before crashing into Isaac Newton's tree, the out of control TARDIS took the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna to several places, including the Western Front in 1917, 200000 BC, the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and 1970. All of this while under attack by space-faring squid creatures.

Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

ATTENTION ROMANTICS, JANEITES, BYRONISTS, GEORGIANS, & OTHER 19TH CENTURY NERDS!

this website jane austen's music has resources all about the music jane austen composed by hand, like a link to this song captivity.

this website romantic-era songs has recordings of a bunch of music that was popular in the romantic era, including recordings of poetic works that were originally intended to be set to music. examples incl. lord byron's famous poems vision of belshazzar (a real banger!) & she walks in beauty (not what i expected having read it beforehand without it's music, but it was byron's own favorite to listen to). i really love this one the waters of elle by lady caroline lamb, also composed by isaac nathan. he was a famous jewish-english musician who later relocated to australia and introduced classical music there, & is thus sometimes called "the father of australian music" (apparently, according to his wiki, he was also the first person in the southern hemisphere to die in a tram incident after he got there... oddly specific factoid, but alright).

In honour of Doctor Who's 60th birthday, here are 60* things that I like about less popular** Doctor Who stories.

(*in multiple posts because I'm falling foul of the character limit)

(**IMDB rating of less than 7/10)

1. Susan is great in The Sensorites. She's at her absolute best in stories like this where she gets to be genuinely a bit alien and a bit weird.

2. "So," said someone at the BBC, "we're going to produce an allegory for different political systems, using insects. Choreographed by a mime artist. On a budget of about £2.50." The Web Planet might not entirely have succeeded, but my god, you have to love that they tried.

3. They introduced Jamie, the best companion, in The Highlanders! How is does this have less than a 7/10 rating, what is wrong with you people. It's Jamie.

4. I applaud the utter bonkersness of The Underwater Menace, and Patrick Troughton really gives it socks.

5. The Wheel in Space is proper 60s sci-fi: Servo-Robots, x-ray lasers, radio beams! I can practically smell Penguin mass-market paperbacks thinking about it. And with the introduction of Zoe, it completes my all-time favourite TARDIS team.

6. The Dominators contains the Quarks, who are adorable. They weren't supposed to be, but it doesn't matter.

7. Zoe is still relatively new to the TARDIS, but she has heaps to do in The Krotons. Nice having a female companion who's written as smart and capable.

8. We have entered the 70s, so with Colony in Space, we get Social Issues. Especially an Evil Mining Corporation, which are always fun.

9. More Social Issues in The Mutants, but this time they're paired with big sci-fi ideas. Ancient tablets! Strange life cycles! Love how much is going on here.

10. The Time Monster is like the Eurovision of Doctor Who. Deeply silly, but what would Doctor Who be without silliness? I'm sorry about Jo's coccyx too.

11. I love that they returned to Peladon in The Monster of Peladon, especially with the 50-year time jump. I'd like to see that kind of follow-up more often.

12. Is it not cool to love K9 any more? Well, I like my Doctor Who with a dose of silliness, and The Invisible Enemy delivered that. Every time traveller needs a robot dog.

13. The design of the Seers in Underworld is excellent, I love a brass dome.

14. Doctor Who doesn't have enough giant squidmonsters looming on the horizons. I'm glad the The Power of Kroll does something to address the deficit.

15. The Creature from the Pit gave us the line "a teaspoon and an open mind", and I appreciate it for that at least.

16. Romana wears one of her best of many splendid outfits in The Horns of Nimon.

17. I liked all the arch dialogue between the Doctor, Enlightenment and Persuasion in Four to Doomsday.

18. Heathrow airport is an underrated setting. I also appreciate how Time-Flight prominently features Concorde, making it far more 80s than they could ever have planned.

19. I don't intend this to be damning with faint praise (even though it probably sounds like it) but my favourite thing about Arc of Infinity is that we get a little jaunt through 80s Amsterdam. I do love a tram.

20. Babyfaced Martin Clunes doing his spoiled princeling thing in Snakedance is enjoyably disconcerting.

21. Terminus is tense and scary and bleak. Another one that I'd expected to be more highly rated.

22. Warriors of the Deep gives us a very solid base under siege. Silurians + Cold War is a winning combination.

23. Landing in a modern village doing a historical re-enactment in The Awakening is a witty touch.

24. I can’t say I enjoyed the idea of the Doctor’s violent moods in The Twin Dilemma, but I have to commend it as a punchy way to introduce the new regeneration.

25. The Mark of the Rani should surely get some love just for introducing the Rani: camp, delightful, iconic.

26. Herbert turning out to be HG Wells in Timelash is a lovely twist and handled well.

27. The Trial of a Time Lord is so grand and ambitious. If the show hadn't been struggling in general at this point, it would be among the all-time greats.

28. With its colour-coded gangs and faux-urban slang, Paradise Towers is gloriously of its time in a way that currently feels quite naff, but that I suspect will be fascinating to revisit in about 30 years.

29. Delta and the Bannermen is action-packed and has one of the best titles in 80s Who.

30. Possibly the most terrifying moment in all of Doctor Who is Kane's face melting in Dragonfire. This series is nothing if it doesn't send children running for safety behind the sofa.

31. Got to love it when Who gets aggressively anti-Thatcher, and they never did it more than in The Happiness Patrol.

Okay as is tradition for me I've thought of a rarepair and am now being entirely and utterly consumed by them so. Argepard?? Gepargenti? Argeppie?? I like argeppie. ARGEPPIE GETTING TOGETHER STORY UNDER THE CUT

They meet because Argenti wants to preach Idrilla's beauty to Belobog and runs into some issues with the Silvermane guards for challenging strangers to "duels of honour" as a way of trying to make friends. Gepard ends up having to deal with him and Argenti basically just calls him beautiful and apologises for any disruption, and also hey wanna join my religion? I'm sure Idrilla would love you to uphold her legacy, and you look absolutely incredible in such fine armour, Lord... what's your name? Ah, but a rose by any other would smell as sweet!

So Gepard gets flustered but he's pretty used to criminals trying to flirt their way out of charges (ahem Mr cold feet) so he manages to send Argenti on his way with a warning before he actually combusts. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for him, Argenti has now fallen in love at first sight and keeps showing up around where he patrols to compliment him, bring him roses, etc etc.

Gepard finds himself slowly being charmed by this weirdly chivalrous guy who refuses to let him step in any puddles and insists on holding his hand and guiding him down or up stairs and into trams. He's not a bad guy, he just doesn't quite get that on Jarilo-VI most people don't act like that. One day, he awkwardly asks Argenti on a date (he may as well, since the guy's trying so hard to win his favour) and is met with an enthusiastic yes. The date is the most cheesy romantic thing he's ever witnessed. Wherever this guy is from, they must all be living in a 1940s romance film, but Gepard doesn't mind. He quite likes it, actually, and despite the fact that Serval will never let him forget just how over the top Argenti can be, he asks him out again. And again. And again.

After one of their dates, Gepard walks Argenti home (or, rather, to his hotel) and they stand by the door. He's been given a bouquet of roses today, and a very expensive dinner that cost money he didn't know Argenti had. He was then taken dancing, which he's not all that good at, but Argenti didn't care. He guided him, holding his hand and his waist and whispering where to go and what to do next into his ear. It was... a lot. And incredible.

So, before Argenti goes inside, Gepard gives him one of the roses, apologises that he didn't bring him any flowers of his own this time, and kisses him instead.

The Knight thinks that this is very much one-upping his bouquet, but he doesn't mind at all. No, he's actually overjoyed at this development, and when Gepard pulls away, as red in the face as the bouquet and hurrying a goodbye so he can go and jump in a hole and die, Argenti takes his hand and kisses it.

The guard is lost for words, so he appreciates when Argenti thanks him, insists that he go home and warm up because "as beautiful as you are with rose-tinted cheeks, I despise that you might risk falling ill, my dear." and bids him goodnight, disappearing inside.

He's left out in the cold, his heart going faster than it's ever gone before. He stares down at the roses.

God, he's really head over heels this time.

freemans mind notes pt1, ep 1-5. under cut, very long.

freeman's mind e1 notes

- he's on probation with the company, could easily get fired

- didn't immediately recognize the PA voice or the tram line he was riding on

- thinks very positively of robots- has a cousin named Jessie (sex offender. unspecified crime? sodomy laws still in action at the time. very well could've just been gay)

- doesn't want to be a witness in court

- petty workplace theft!!! knows his coworkers name, Steve

e2

- talks himself through what's either anxiety or trying to go unnoticed

- forms grudges very easily

- seems very comfortable making death threats. No reaction to it, so very possible people are used to his bluster

- acts out a conversation between management for a bit, seems to have at least a passing understanding of animal biology

- does Not know his way around AnMat today, bless him

- has been to a strip club. (Or simply associates techno music with them)

- thinks it's noodles in the microwave. Maybe it's some sort of noodle casserole? The ease with which he considers an attempt at theft here implies he does this often. Just. Steals someone else's food for his breakfast.

- yes, yes. Oxycodone locker.

- doesn't wear a tie. Has made a bomb threat to his workplace over having to wear one.

- someone seems to have swapped out the stuff in his locker with someone else's.

- his HEV suit normally has a helmet, but it's missing for some reason.

- dislikes the HEV suit voice.

- "left hand turn into a chaingun" sick hlvrai reference /j

e3 (like the conference no one cares about anymore)

- ongoing saga of Doesn't Know Where To Go

- Dislikes the concrete walls

- Monday.

- always wanted to be an evil scientist.

- bad evil laugh. Not sorry.

- dislikes greeting people he doesn't know.

- seems to enjoy reading out signs in front of him. Maybe also repeating words?

- the bulbs in AnMat aren't the nice UV ray sort

- another thought about robots being universally cool by default

- will listen to people he doesn't know for a moment if they praise him

- thought an explosion was... A sniper. Underground. In a very small room with only two entrances, one of them he entered from. A genius, this one. Does correct himself, so this is a gut reaction.

- cyrex processor hater. Correct.

- knows the spinning elevator, even if he doesn't remember the rest of AnMat.

- seems to dislike being dizzy. Despite that, has ridden rides built for the express purpose of making one dizzy

- may genuinely be the only bearded employee

- has played racquetball in the AMS chamber. This is the only reason there's security there.

- likes climbing things :) wishes he had a tail

- the List mentioned!

- makes funny lil pew noises here

- became a physicist to lord over antimatter particles

- does seem mildly concerned about safety procedures for a moment. Genuinely invested in the experiment going well

- HATES string theory. Correct.

- hates when people other than him do silly words. so rude.

- just starts. Saying stuff. Running his mouth when hes panicking

- the ableism starts early (schizophrenic line)

e4

- the frog people story,, was awake for four days straight

- likely has watched star trek TOS (references Dr McCoy)

- captain gordon freeman of the intergalactic house of pancakes...

- babes in the biology department! that is actually pretty accurate, women go into wet sciences more often than they do pure math ones

- *not* a necrophiliac. thank god

- apparently has a record of computers blowing up when he uses them (karkat type beat)

- perfectly fine looting black mesa after the rescas, before he sees any aliens

- no reaction to the words "resonance cascade" aside from "Sucks."

- has seen "Alien"

- doesn't want eggs laid in his chest 😔 out of my way gayboy I'm about to get it

- multiple counts of avoiding stepping in blood

- doesn't bring weapons into the workplace

- knows no martial arts but wanted to learn for a while

- enjoys playing limbo!

- he got his first gun: the crowbar

- no real reaction to killing three people on accident. Does apologize though! Hopes they were jerks at least

e5

- has always wanted to kill people by pressing a button. The experience is underwhelming.

- all for shooting down the zombies but doesn't reason out what they are for a bit

- has seen the wizard of oz

- wants to harvest the corpses for organs

- has been arrested at least once

- thinks he still has a job at this place. lol. lmao.

- triangle shirtwaist factory mention!! I loved learning about that place. Worst workplace accident in terms of sheer amount of deaths in recorded history. It's why we've got the regulations around fire exits and some of the building regulations we do

- is at least willing to try and save the guy on the catwalk

- avoids the blood Again! Cleanliness :>

- hates computers in General

- creeped out by the zombie by the computer. Elects to leave.

- happily loots a corpse for weapons

On January 28th 1927 hurricane force winds struck Scotland, killing 22 and seriously injuring 150 people in Glasgow.

The following day, the Larne Times told readers that practically ‘every property in Glasgow was damaged’ - with two tenements completely destroyed. Locals described the crash of falling debris in all corners of the city.

With schools shut down, trams halted, and the telephone systems down - Glasgow was chaotic. Fifty fire engines were on hand to help the city, with eight ambulances continuously carrying the injured to hospital.

On Newark Street, a repairman was crushed by a snapped tree blown down by the winds – killing him instantly. Elsewhere in the city, several of those killed were crushed by falling masonry - such as George McDonald who was rendered unconscious by a falling chimney and died in hospital two days later.

The largest death toll was caused by the collapse of a chimney head at Marlow Street in Kinning Park, with the falling wreckage killing five people outright. The gales threw masses of solid stonework down through successive flights of the homes, tearing occupants and furniture in an avalanche towards the ground.

Two infant children miraculously escaped at Marlow Street. One child, who fell two storeys, was found among the debris - with a dummy still in its mouth, crying but unhurt.

A second child, who had been sitting in a pram on the ground floor, was unscratched by the masses of stones, plaster, and stoves which had fallen around.

Across Scotland, 22 deaths were recorded - nine of these due to the collapse of buildings. In one case, a man trying to get home by way of the train tracks to avoid falling masonry was killed by a night train.

On February 1, the Lord Provost announced the opening of a relief fund for the hurricane. He appealed to Glaswegians: “Great distress has been caused to many deserving citizens by the disastrous hurricane of last week, especially those who have bereaved and rendered homeless by the collapse of their houses, and the destruction of their furniture and other belongings.”

Elsewhere in Scotland, a horse-lorry driver was killed by a flying piece of iron from a nearby building in Dundee. An East Lothian farmer lost her life when the roof of the farm hen house collapsed on itself.

The damage in Glasgow was estimated at around £250,000, which is £16million by today's standards.

Those lost in the 1927 hurricane included; Nan Dicke (12), Hugh Gallacher (44), James Brown (46), Martian McIntyre (25), Lizzie McIntyre (8), Charles Rennie (4), James Duncan (2), George Henderson, Charles Connelly (36), George McDonald (39), and George Hunter (21).

The video shows footage from British Pathé of the aftermath of the tenement terror.
