So, the Trinity College Library was pretty cool:

Although I was a bit disappointed because I thought I was gonna be visiting an entire library, not just this very long room (appropriately named "the long room"). And since I was thinking I'd be visiting an actual library where you can go and sit down to work, I didn't expect to have to pay an entrance fee, but I did because there's also an exposition on the book of Kells (very old Christian book). I just didn't do any research on it, when I saw the pictures of the long room I just went 👁👄👁 and added it to my list of things to see, so that's on me.
But the room was still very beautiful and also there was a cool poem in the expo:

"Mommy!"
I wasn't a mother, but the desire to be one was intense as I traveled through a village after going to one of my favorite stores.
The child and their mother looked so happy, running into their mother's arms and smiling. Their bond warmed my heart.
Heading back home, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Imagine Bi Han and I being parents and having a beautiful child. The thought alone made me so happy. Going about my day lost in thought, it must've been obvious how spaced out I was.
"Are you okay, dear?"
It was already time for bed, and I was grateful Bi Han was home to sleep with me, joining me in bed as I nodded:
"I'm okay. Just thinking is all."
"Thinking about what?"
I was so nervous to ask the question I had in mind, but he was the one person I could always be honest with, fidgeting with my hand as I asked shyly:
"How do you feel about starting a family?"
"You want to become parents?"
He was only trying to see if I was serious, which I was, my voice dying to a whisper:
"I would love that, Bi Han."
Meeting his gaze, I could feel the tension rising, not sure what kind of tension till he pulled me by the hip, bringing me closer and kissing:
"Help me then, hm?"
"Gladly," Gasping between kisses, joy and pleasure filled my heart, surely loving the process of making a child, almost rushing to take off my clothes.
"Someone's eager," He chuckled, dipping his hand between us to feel how I was dripping, teasing me, and whispering in my ear, "You know it's very important to carry my heir."
"I know," I moaned, looking into his eyes, "It would be an honor. I swear to be the best mother."
"You will be," Sitting up tall and broad, his hands ran across my stomach, imagining me with a pregnant stomach, clenching around my hips as he pushed his tip into me, twitching at the friction of my walls swallowing him in.
"Hmmm," That feeling would never get old to me; already moaning out at the inches, he began to feed me, "Make me a mother, Bi Han."
Snatching my legs, he put me in a tight press, twitching again at my words, keeping my moans constant and vocal as he pounded harder and harder in every thrust, driving me to an orgasm quicker than ever before.
"Bi Han!" Gripping at the sheets, my senses heightened, his thighs and balls wet as they slapped against my skin, god-like strength in his arms as he held my wrists so I wouldn't budge or squirm even an inch, completely breathless as I gasped out, "Oh! Oh-hh! Ooo!"
I'd never seen such an expression on his face, so determined, grunting with stutters in his hips, ramming the air out of me as he folded me further, lips smacking into mine.
"You're going to take all of me and give me a child-ngh'"
"Please," I murmured, the pleasure was flooding my mind to the brim, kissing back, "Give me all of you, Bi Han."
"Ngh-"Sitting up and flipping his hair back, my vision blurred from the new sensation, so warm, every particle of my being washed over with goosebumps and tingles, seeing how he tensed up, groaning as his cock throbbed hard against my pulsating walls, hammered deep in my womb and spilling every ounce of his seed, thrusting slowly till his body couldn't give anymore.
"Gods," Breathing in deep, I took his hands, this moment being one I'd never forget, still whimpering as he pulled back slowly, pushing back in deep to keep me full, stuffed for that matter, as I felt his seed leaking some.
"Do you wish to give me more than one someday?" In his eyes, it was clear how much he wanted to be a father, and he enjoyed our first experience.
It made me smile, squeezing his hands as I kissed, "As many as you want, my dear husband."

do you want to talk about your ocs because i want to hear about your ocs
hey I wrote this all out and then tumblr glitched and deleted it all. haha. anyway this is just a WIP! :3
Backstory, set five years before Yasmin (5YB even):
Two middle aged women called Eden and Eve. Eve is one of the few people Eden enjoys being around, the only person Eden loves. Eden is not the only person Eve loves and will never be. Eve is married and has a child by the name Alice who Eve is the godmother of.
Alice is eight years old when their parents die. Eden being forced to take them in, even though she doesn't particularly want to. Eden is.. losing it mentally because her only person is gone, forever, but feels as though she owes Eve which is why Eden takes Alice in.
Eden is wealthy and extremely comfortable in that, but, does not take good care of Alice for the next two years. In fact, barely acknowledges them and is rarely home or around them. She does notice, though, that Alice never seems surprised or actively does things that they shouldn't know how to do. When pressed, over and over again, Alice admits to knowing the future. Eden obviously takes this as a joke and lashes out at Alice for it but they back it up easily. Eden spirals.
If Alice can see the future, if Alice has always been able to.. then they knew that their parents were going to die. They knew Eve was going to die. And, they did nothing at all. Eden spirals hard.
Alice lost their mother- no, Eden lost her Eve and Alice didn't even try to stop this? Eden becomes convinced Alice is evil, that ability had.. rotted their brain and made them hateful and horrible. She justifies what she does next as much as possible.
There is a ward in a town that no one really knows, a ward with five girls specifically in it. The oldest named Lorna, she's a 19 year old in a relationship with an intern at the ward who breaks her heart and destabilises her even further. She swears she can see through the walls, that things speak to her that are just not there. She degrades and dies, no one believing her, not even the four younger girls she had befriended in the ward.
Her death gets the town known for a brief period of time, the ward more known and eventually almost closed. But, a woman named Dr. Cromwell buys the hospital out, funding it by her own money. She makes it a closed patient ward and keeps only the four girls plus.. some kid in it. Asking the girls parents to pay extraordinary fees if they want their children to receive "proper" care.
The girls (named oldest to youngest) Solmaz, Khadija, Iris and Marie discover that since the night Lorna died, they have all.. gained something. Something strange. Each one of them has a weak but there power. Something that specifically affects the present. To make someone see something. To hear. To taste or smell. To feel something that is not there. Each one of them has power over a sense but cannot infringe on the others power.
So for example, Marie could make someone feel something crawl up their calf but couldn't make them see, hear or anything else it. But, Khadija could make someone see something that isn't there, but only Solmaz could make someone hear something that isn't there. Iris has the perceived weakest ability out of the four, being only able to make someone able to smell or taste something that isn't there (She is the most important for the end).
Enter in on the scene a woman named Abeba Yi. A 28 year old woman who really wants to be an investigative journalist who travels around the country and discovers scoops, and who really did buy a while caravan to go travelling around the country in but.. kind of just became a food blogger and recipe writer because the journalism was not making any money. The food blogging also doesn't really, but she does odd jobs at the towns and places she visits so she's living!
She visits a small town in a pitspot and ends up driving upon this old looking hospital, where a very flustered woman appears from and tells Abeba she Cannot be here and to get off this property quickly. Abeba flees but is.. severely curious. For the day, she helps out at this antique store until the same flustered woman shows up.
Her name is Sydney and she works as a receptionist at that ward, Sydney tells Abeba over drinks in a run down bar. They tell Abeba a lot over as the night progresses, about the apparently very young kid they see going down and out of the basement in a stretcher, how she has had to sign an NDA over so many incidents and things, how off and odd all the employees are, how strange the matron is and- Abeba hears a scoop.
A night of research later and Abeba fakes a meet-cute with the woman who runs the ward, Dr. Cromwell or as she quickly finds out, Eden. She forces her way into her life, asking her about food and recipes until the doctor just invites her over for dinner.
Abeba stays in that town longer then she expected, accidentally falling into a weird relationship with Cromwell. Until, she finds files. Files upon files ducked and locked inside hidden cabinets. The doctor has been becoming tired of Abeba, she can tell so steals some files and..
Fuck, Abeba can't just leave that kid that Sydney mentioned in there, can she? She tries to call Sydney but.. she hasn't seen her recently and after a few calls, Abeba gives up calling. She just wants to leave because she's in far too deep and these files are fucking insane, there's no way all this shit is real and she feels kind of insane just reading them.
Abeba fakes a visit to Eden and after a very, very little amount of convincing it struggle, technically and legally kidnaps a child named Alice.
OKAY. FUCK. that's like majority of the backstory, I mean it's not even half of the story at all at all. I didn't even get into the main character but I've been writing for like an hour now so I'm done fuck this stupid baka life. GO THROUGH THE #GARDEN OF DOGS TAG IF U WANNA SEE SILLY POSTS ABT THE CHARACTERS!!! my art account posts r tagged w it too so check out my art account if u wanna see art of Abeba or her future gf Yasmin :3

i heard (from a three-month old post of yours) you have klonoa thoughts and i'm interested in hearing them (if you still have them)
even if not i still want to say i am on that klonoa hyperfixation juice and am a sucker for all of the symbolism i've found in the phantasy reverie games i swear it's so good
YES yes yes yes. i may not have been klonoaposting recently but i am ALWAYS full of thoughts and emotions about the series. most of them are incoherent. and will also be even more incoherent rn bc i am not very awake.
(this also comes with the disclaimer that i havent yet gotten to play the phantasy reverie version of lunatea's veil because i got to 5-2 in door to phantomile, went "not this shit again", and took a break and then haven't gotten around to setting my switch back up after travel. whoops)
i.. am putting this under a readmore.. because this is likely to get very long (and also discussing unreality in the context of klonoa worldbuilding)
SO THE DEAL WITH KLONOA. is mostly the continuity. it is a big ol' mess. the timeline between games doesn't make sense, characters appear and disappear at random, entire major character-shifting revelations (eg everything about huepow) get dropped, nahatomb goes from the incarnation of nightmares to Just Some Skeevy CEO in beach volleyball (and it's hilarious), it's just.. really hard to parse if you're somebody trying to link stuff together. i've seen some complaints about it, and as one of those people who likes to tie things together and will take a wrench to canon if i have to, i agreed for a while
and then when talking about klonoa to my friends, i came to a very important realization that made me sit down for a while and go "oh. yeah. of course."
everything is a dream.
like.. that's the whole premise of the series. these are all dream worlds that klonoa is being brought to and becomes part of for the duration of his stay. they're not supposed to be coherently connected, even if certain characters keep showing up. huepow is in empire of dreams despite it being probably after door to phantomile because huepow is someone important to klonoa, even if it doesn't really make sense for the overall narrative for him to be there without any explanation. same with lolo. klonoa meets someone, gets attached to them, and wants to see them again, so he does.
(you could also extrapolate this into "huepow is always in ring spirit form and the big reveal isn't addressed because klonoa doesn't want to acknowledge it", but that's a bit of a rougher subject.)
there's also potential for the idea that locations and people in door to phantomile are based off klonoa's waking life-- breezegale shows up a couple times (door to phantomile and klonoa heroes, i feel like there's another time i'm forgetting), klonoa's grandpa in dtp might be a phantomilian version of his actual grandpa, stuff like that. it would at least explain how huepow was easily able to graft klonoa into phantomile: there's already something to connect him to.
add onto that the fact that huepow says that, to phantomile, klonoa's world is a "strange dream".. huepow basically flipped klonoa's perspective, to where phantomile is the "real" breezegale and the real waking world is just a weird dream he had and forgot all the details of. which is still pretty fucked up. i do not have the energy to get fully into Huepow Thoughts but my emotions about this orb are "you did not need to do any of this and i am going to cry". this is a "huepow you really need to think more about your life choices" blog
idk there is a LOT to be done with how everything is framed and i really really want to explore that sometime. i fucking love klonoa

Explanation post to Time Collectors plot
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi hello here's a post about the lore of my main ahit au!! Since I've posted about it for a bit so I thought there should be a post for it ^^
——————————————————————————
Hat Kid and Bow Kid come from a species that travel the galaxies to help planets with their time abilities. They become the Guardian's of the planet and swear to protect and care for it.
The planet Hat 'n Bow became the Guardian's of didn't have much that the kids needed to survive, since the people of the planet didn't need it. So Hat and Bow broke some rules,,,, they left their planet (which is something they SHOULD NOT do) for supplies.
After going to a random planet for supplies, the events of Ahit happens,, obviously. Although after everything the kiddos went back!... Or so they hoped...
When they had returned to their Planet it was gone. No trance left, gone nothing just a blackness where it once was..
Now the two kids were homeless, and it needing to take a LONG while for them to even have a chance of being able to stay on the last planet they know of.
(In this au the timepieces can regenerate and be made but only if there's one as a core to make them)
So some months later the kiddos regain all the fuel they'll need to return to ahit's planet (called Ninrao in this au) and decide that will be were they live now and protect..
I mean, everyone seemed to like them already so why not ya know? So that's what they do!
——————————————————————————
This was much much longer than I planned for it to be hehe,,
Sorry if this is messy or anything I'm not the best at spilling my thoughts on writing (plus this isn't even proofread hehe,,) also I hope this all makes sense
Also also I plan on making a blog for this au soon!! So yeah ^w^
I hope you all enjoyed this!!! :3

I’m so confused on how wanting Elain to leave the Night Court = misogyny. Like we’ve been in the NC for the past 4-ish books and it’s getting a bit boring. Also, how is she being “taken away from her sisters” when she can literally be winnowed back to Velaris in a second?
So I want to be known as the blog that roasts fictional men + likes star wars without any irony. In that vein, I don't care about e/riel theories. However, maybe it's worth saying this once to offer some of my peace to the rest of you.
It doesn't NEED to make sense. If they were looking for cohesive theories, we could have interesting conversations about Elain. This is literally about shutting down anyone with a different interpretation and shaming people into silence. After all, if someone weaponizes the language of social justice for a series of books that are DEEPLY heteronormative and steeped in patriarchal norms dressed up like sexy feminism, that can cause well meaning people to panic and reevaluate. "I don't want to be seen as problematic," or "Maybe I should reexamine why I like this" or even "I'm a bad person for liking this"
I'm tired of pretending that shit isn't intentional. I'm tired of being told in books where men routinely sexually and physically assault their partners that it's wanting to see Elain do the thing she always said she wanted to do (travel) is the ACTUAL misogyny. I'm tired of being told if you don't think gardening and having babies are a personality you're a misogynist from people who don't care about women's issues outside of shoving their ship down peoples throats. It's the height of fandom activism which IS NOT REAL ACTIVISM. "i can bully people for their fun escapism if I think they're wrong about a pretend character" and they'll say the most OUT OF POCKET shit in defense of Elain. Cool. Very feminist.
But also, it's the constant cherry picking that makes it like pulling teeth. "You don't respect her CHOICE" babes he told her it was a mistake and she returned the gift. Why won't you respect those choices? She handed it back, if we're Elain stans why do we have to construct elaborate theories we're passing off as canon instead of respecting that at least for now, Elain is stagnant and not the subject of anyone's romantic lust. He wants to eat her out, okay??? Welcome to all four years of the college experience, how many of those people did you marry? Oh none of them? Wild. We're in his head, he never once thinks of her in non-sexual terms and yet it's canon proof they're in love and we're disregarding it.
We're crackshippers who deserve to be bullied on twitter by people who literally do nothing else but talk shit on ships they swear will never sail. Ok. Reeks of insecurity and too much time on your hands but whatever. It's literally not about cohesion, it's not about an interesting story (because apparently they're already pregnant and the story is happening in the background which begs the question- why give her a book a all if you can heal her off page and give her an off page romance?), it's not about uplifting marginalized voices or respecting women. It's "i'm right, you're wrong, and I can make you feel bad about it if you question anything I've said."
It's also, just as my last little thing, really boring. If you've read all of SJMs books, which I have, you'd recognize her formula. All of her heroines follow a very similar, predicatable trajectory. And while she definitely changes things up when new things become interesting (Rowan in book 4, keeping Hunt in CC), "four" books of build up is not compelling evidence when you consider how much SJM loves mates, loves heroines living at rock bottom, and the men who complement them in obvious way. Fire and wind? Lightning and stars? Lady Death and the Lord of Bloodshed...and the gardener and the son of Day Court.
Come the fuck on.

DW s12e03 "Orphan 55" or The Importance of Not Conveying a Message
I swear this is not a Doctor Who fan blog - there's simply no denying that what DW has become as of now is a major and highly influential sci-fi franchise, and there's also no denying that last week I, regrettably, dedicated two days of my life to binging its, as of now, most recent season (and to think I could've been re-watching series D of Blake's 7 instead!), which, in turn, led me to doing what I've had in mind for quite some time now – creating this blog (and returning to tumblr, which I wasn't planning on doing). I wrote my review on the season's finale just yesterday, but there are plenty more things in this season that, I feel, need to be touched upon.
So, here I am, doing just that.
Part One: The Idea
Now, I ask you to imagine a story. Imagine a story in which a neglectful mother leaves her child and, as years go by, gets so overwhelmed with guilt she decides to give said child a gift hoping that maybe, just maybe, this gift will make up for that horrible thing she did years ago. The mother wants to give her child a literal world as a gift. So she picks a planet that nobody will ever claim, an orphan planet, and tries to raise money to afford terraforming it. She becomes a mother to an orphan planet in an attempt to become a mother to her orphan child.
This sounds like a beautiful story. It is a beautiful story.
Part Two: The Science
Doctor Who, which started out as an educational show for schoolkids, is, as of now, at heart, a space opera. There is nothing inherently bad in space operas: these are merely a subgenre of science fiction that focuses on relationships between its characters and social issues, with little to no regard or often at the expense of the "sci" in "sci-fi". Space operas can be beautiful. "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed", one of my favourite stories by Ray Bradbury, and one of my favourite short stories period is a space opera. "The Stainless Steel Rat" series by Harry Harrison is a space opera. "Ensign Flandry" by Poul Anderson is a space opera. I love them all.
The surprisingly hard thing with writing space operas is that you have to be careful with science. What I mean by that is that a writer behind a space opera project has to be careful with inventing his technobabble in case he faces a necessity of explaining something. The writer has to be careful and make his technobabble so illegible yet science-y that his audience has no choice but to roll with it, regardless of whether they have the faintest idea what the words the writer has used mean or not. The space opera technobabble has to sound science-y but otherwise has no business using scientific terms that might happen to make some sense to an audience member that happens to be slightly more educated than average and thus more perceptive of your nonsense (bonus points if what the writer has created is not as good as they themselves think it is and that slightly more educated audience member has already gotten so tired of The Work that they unintentionally begin to catch more factual mistakes than they would had the author not oversuspended their disbelief), because at that point...
...Science Says "Hello, I'm Still Here!" (Part Three)
The third episode of the twelfth season of Doctor Who gave its seemingly made-up term "orphan planet" a very clear definition: a previously habitable world that, through processes which may vary in nature, has become unable of supporting sentient, if any at all, life. Here's an excerpt from the Doctor Who fan wiki:
Tumblr media
Again, a fairly clear definition.
Except...
"Orphan planet" is an actual scientific term. There are many synonymous terms used to describe it, but, basically, an orphan planet is a planet that doesn't belong to a star system and travels on its own. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia (I do realise that it isn't a reliable source, but in this case this actually is a correct definition):
Tumblr media
And this isn't a rare term, either. In fact, the concept of a rogue, or orphan, planet is fairly common in science fiction – a strange cold, inhospitable world, incapable of supporting life, travelling through the vast cosmos all on its own, fearsome and unpredictable.
Now, why the difference between two definitions of an otherwise well-known occurrence?
Because the story I asked you to imagine in the beginning of this post wasn't enough.
Part Four: The Need for Relevance
There's no arguing that, in some way or another, every piece of media captures the time its creator lives in through the lense of their worldview. It might be obvious in things like clothing, technology, or societal constructs they, the author, perceive as normal or abnormal. There is no arguing that every piece of media ages, and no arguing that most media produced for mass audiences has to be relevant. And science fiction set in the future, surprisingly enough for some, is not an exception; more than that, it may even age worse than other genres as technology develops beyond what creators of science fiction of the past could possibly imagine.
One way of compensating that aging is creating an ever-relevant story. The reason the original trilogy of Star Wars still stands despite its dated effects and tech is not only that it's set in an alien world, but also that it tells a fairly simple story that is bound to be relatable for years to come: it's a journey a hero sets on to right the wrongs. The reason the original Star Trek is good after all these years despite its dated, er, everything technical is that its themes are relatable, its morals are clear, its characters – well-defined. Blake's 7 is wonderful (I mean, this is the third or fourth time I'm mentioning this fairly little-known show in two posts, it should be clear that I love it) not only because of its cheesy British-TV-sci-fi-show-shoestring-budget effects, late-70s-future-fashion outfits charm and well-done models, but because of its clear idea that's bound to last for ages: there will always be an oppressor, there will always be the oppressed, there will always be those who resist the existing regime.
But creating a story with a long-lasting theme is not the only way to being appreciated. We live in an era of information, and we live in an era of that information being at our fingertips, and we also live in an era in which, as always, people want to make profit. Fast profit.
And a much easier way of making profit is not making a story that will last forever, but a relevant story, a story with which its intended audience will resonate right now and not over a prolonged period of time.
This is the time for us to again return to the story I asked you to imagine in the beginning. That story is timeless. Its themes will last as long as there are orphans in the world, and as long as there are neglectful parents, and as long as guilt exists. It's a good story.
But people want more profit than a story that is merely good can make. People want a good story that is also currently relevant.
And so they add a currently relevant theme to it.
Part 4: Additions Have Got to Be Made
There's nothing inherently wrong with adding a new theme to your already existing storyline: it may lead to exploring new depths you didn't expect would open up. The problem arises when said theme is nothing but pandering and is there only to admit the existence of something so the audience can say "I know about this thing that they've mentioned", as if that gives them a figurative gold star, and get back to their business, satisfied that some story they connected with acknowledged a problem that they feel something about. This is pandering.
Now, what does this have to do with the two different definitions of one term and that story?
Part Five: Here's What I Think Is the Problem
I don't think that at the early stages of writing the screenplay for "Orphan 55" DW's definition of the term "orphan planet" was all that different from what an orphan planet actually is. On the contrary, I think the person who first pitched the story did have in mind actual interstellar objects – otherwise they would've devised a new term for uninhabitable planets; besides, almost everything in the episode makes sense without an orphan planet being a once inhabitable world. I also believe that this change was thrown in towards the end of writing the actual script, because then it would probably be written in a way that allows the idea of their version of an orphan planet to be more developed. So why did they, in my opinion, even add that?
You guessed it. Pandering. My best guess is that the higher-ups wanted to throw something "hip" into the story, to add something "relevant", because they wanted a bigger resonance and thus a more profitable episode. And what could be more relevant that the fact that we, the humanity, have kind of screwed our planet up and now everybody's talking about this?
This is the reason they've changed the definition of a pre-existing term. It's not that they wanted to make a statement: they wanted to make money. It's not that they wanted to raise awareness: they wanted to raise their profits. The message wasn't intended as a warning directed towards people who may not know or do not care about the subject: it was a corporation pandering towards those who already agree with it.
It hurts me to write this; I genuinely want to believe this isn't the case. I genuinely want to believe that the addition was made by some well-meaning script editor – but I can't. We live in a world in which corporations can and do use important messages as a means to profit off of people's beliefs. The optimistic option just isn't that probable.
And in the End...
Imagine a flower. Imagine a tender flower on a small flowerbed; a beautiful flower, carefully tended to, lovingly grown, a flower that will bloom for a long time. And next to it, a bigger, more colourful one, a flower that grabs your attention, but only for a short moment – and for no other reason that its life is so short. The big flower will wither, and it will wither soon, and the small one will go unnoticed simply because it's not as bright, and not as big... but it is beautiful when you notice it, and it will bring a smile to your face when you notice it again.
That story about a mother, her child, and a planet was a good story, but its theme about being an orphan wasn't what grabbed the viewer's attention: it was the blunt message about saving our habitat, and it distracted from the actual plot and its own underlying theme.
Your story is your flowerbed. A bright and resonating theme will live on for only as long as it stays popular, for as long as the public is interested in it, and the second that interest is lost, your flowerbed of a story dies with it. If that was your intent – you did well. But if you tend to your garden for the future generations to see, don't make it about here and now, make it about everywhere. Make it about always. Make it so the bright and eye-catching, and short-lived isn't what people know your garden for.

Kinda new to this blog and the killjoy verse so could you please explain who who is? Like of course I know the fab four but I'm a little confused over the names you use for the rest of the emos
Oh !! Of course!! Some of the names I use are a little unconventional, so I probably needed to explain anyway...
THE YOUNGBLOODS (Fall Out Boy)
Dr. Benzedrine - Patrick Stump. He's a lot...lot different than Patrick. Eccentic and bumbling head doctor of the Underground.
Mr. Sandman - king emo Pete Wentz. Overdramatic and passionate, he's the speech-maker, playa frontman even though Benze makes mosr decisions.
Young Detonator - Joe Trohman. Ever an accomplice of Sandman's weird schemes and absolutely uses his underratedness to get into things, he's quite the character.
Alley Phoenix - Andy Hurley. Can definitely be talked into doing dumb things, acts as the only reasonable one occasionally, helps out Tumbleweeds.
THE SINNERS (Panic! At The Disco)
Killer King - Brendon Urie. Flirty, cocky Tumbleweed with the shiniest skates around.
Northern Downpour - Ryan Ross. Done with King's dramatics, expert at all things make-up, and surprisingly good at firefights.
Green Gentlemen - Spencer Smith. A Microchip (hacker) at heart, he's quieter than the first two but Downpour's lifelong friend and extremely important in the Lobby.
Ruin Rise - Jon Walker. Criminally underrated, but strangely intelligent and quite done with his crew's antics. He pushed them to get their skates and become Tumbleweeds
THE KIDS
Lane Boy - Tyler Joseph. Talkative eight-year-old desert-born, no one knows what happened to his parents, or how he met Message Man, but that's just how it is.
Message Man - Josh Dun. Little less outgoing but still optimistic, another eight-year-old desert-born; he and Lane Boy never leave the other's side, and often appear seemingly randomly.
THE NOT-FULLY-DEVELOPED
Golden Days - Dallon Weekes, post-Panic! - a bit of a loose canon and a loner, definitely not a friend if Northern Downpour but quite the Tumbleweed.
Misery Business - Hayley Williams. Somehow managed to become counsellor of the Underground. Still travels around as a Tumbleweed, sometimes.
Critical Veins - Jack Barakat.
Nightmare Nothings - Alex Garskarth
Agent Cherri Cola was from the comics and a Twitter account, Show Pony was in the Na Na Na video (and Twitter???), Dr. Death Defying was also a comics character and Twitter character as well as being in the videos; NewsAGoGo and DJ Hot Chimp are also Twitter characters.
It sounded like a lot but it isn't !! It's the brief little personality piece that seems so long!! It isn't overwhelming I swear !! Hope it helped !!

Doctor Who - Earthshock Live Review
So I have my crisps and lemonade and im ready to continue my journey through classic who - idk why I just started live blogging it...
• People are climbing
• So they've found something- an alien I'm assuming- why do humans always tamper with things we shouldn't
• Oh they haven't found something theyre looking for people
• I hate how classic who drags on so slowly
• Sinister music
• 'probably nothing" foreshadowing...
• Okay get to the killing already
• YES FINALLY HELLO DOCTOR
• Wow I forget they must have their own rooms in the Tardis
• Lots of books in Adrics room
• "why should that interest me" ooh okay Adric getting a bit sassy
• Why's he fed up
• looool "I'm tired of being considered a joke" "why am I being constantly teased" maybe because you're annoying and you make sexist remarks?
• oh chill
• The doctor don't have time to deal with this
• aww okay Adric being jealous that Nyssa and Tegan get more attention from the doctor than him is kinda cute
• 'I give you my word' 'just as you gave your word to Tegan" okaaaaay go off (spoiler alert) ik Adric dies in this because I saw a spoiler so this is very sad foreshadowing that the doctor will break his word to Adric about making time for him- kinda sad
• I hate the celery stick
• okay Adric kick off
• Doctor can't take criticism which is interesting because the last time he was probably ever blamed for something was One with Barbara and Ian. I don't remember any companion ever criticizing him like this before
• 'Well it can wait' you'll regret that
• "I'm tired of being an outsider" this would make sense if we had seen him being an outsider before - in my opinion Tegan is the outsider as she's new and not as mathematically advanced as the others. also I would say that Adric is the closest to the doctor out of all 3 so his point isn't really valid
• I guess this is the writers way of making adrics death more tragic
• ooh Adrics theme
• I swear he was an outsider amongst his own people too
• 'the tools would go missing" why do these people never take the hint
• forgot Adric was from e space- tbh what was the doctors plan when he did demand to go home eventually- did he wanna travel with him till he died?
• "e space is another universe, there isn't a taxi service that goes back and forth"
• Romana mention!
• "im not waiting around while you plot the course to your own destruction" the doctor has never experienced a companion death before - also foreshadowing
• "you know I think since his regeneration he's become decidedly immature" this is funny also like 4 was soooo mature
• I like Adric and Five's relationship
• the actor who plays Adric has gone better
• Nyssa is the most mature out of this entire group
• "breathe deeply and relax" why is Tegan a meditation instructer out of nowhere
• the doctor didn't take much convincing
• lol the doctor bopping Tegans nose was cute
• Ooh Dinosaur bones
• let me guess - the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was an alien spaceship or aliens killed them
• Someone screamed
• Ooh yeah she be dead
• Okay the villains look like they're wearing gimp costumes
• Reminds me of American Horror Story Murder House & the leather monster
• Aah doctor who giving a lesson on how the dinosaurs were killed. We love a show that educates
• Did I mention how much I hate the celery stick because I hate it honestly whose idea was it
• Bro chill why is this man grabbing the doctor like that what he do
• Calm the fuck down mate
• Gimp people be shooting
• Okay they may be androids but they'll always be gimp people to me
• Android vision
• CYBERMEN!!!! DAMN
• Why they gotta hit us with the plot twist like that i wasn't ready
• The Cybermen looks sad
• Hehehe the face is funny
• Gimps be strong
• Why do the Cybermen sound muffled
• I find it more creepy when they have human voices than Robots because it makes It more real that these machines have humans in them
• hHaven't seen them in some time
• I love Tegans sarcasm
• I'm cracking up at the Cybermen voice
• 1 gimp down 1 to go
• tThe gimps be dead
• 'prepare to activate the devise" dun dun DUN
• Damn the Cybermen be skinny
• I'm bored i want doctor/cybeman action
• Okay it's getting intense
• Cybermen be SHOOK
• "cyber technology is too advanced for earthlings" figure it out then mate
• He's recognised the Tardis
• THE BEST DIALOGUE "TIME LORDS, BUT THEYRE FORBIDDEN TO INTERFERE"
• THIS ONE CALLS HIMSELF THE DOCTOR, AND DOES NOTHING BUT INTERFERE
• YESS PREVIOUS DOCTORS VS CYBERMEN
• I'm geeking out
• Imma watch this bit a few times hang on
• Aah I loved that it was so cool bloody hell I'm a nerd
• The 2nd Cybermen looked shocked while he was watching
• "have you no emotions sir" classic
• "Adric do you have a moment" "I'm hungry" Okay I like him in this one he's a mood. Why is he suddenly likeable the ep he dies
• "all part of the daily routine" see what I mean
• Well your daily routine Is gonna end soon
• He doesn't wanna go home!!
• Doctor is relieved it's cute
• Ah this is sad
• It would be easier if i didn't know he was gonna die
• Cos I do like their relationship
• Okay we're being introduced to new people
• "you're beginning to bore me" the writers knew
• I'm trying really hard to concentrate I've zoned out
• Ah the doctor has got my attention "I want to announce my presence, see what the reaction is" course
• aaaand the doctor is caught and he's being accused for murder again
• Don't they have cctv just check it
• "apprehended why can't he just say caught" me in English classes
• 'even under the threat of death he has the arrogance of a time lord"
• I thought Cybermen had no emotions but this Cybermen just said he wants the doctor to suffer for their past defeats - revenge is an emotion which is v ironic
• Hh SHIT the Cybermen are walking
• lol tegan " im just a mouth and legs" she's such a mood
• The Cybermen music is cool
• The doctors face when he sees them
• Aah the soldier has betrayed them
• Why is it that whenever there's a women in charge the men who is second can't handle it and goes rogue
• iIt's such a typical trope
• The dialogue for the doctor is great
• "you know them"
• "oh yes, we go back a long way"
• Haha "I'm surprised they didn't mention me" 'well perhaps you overestimate your importance" "oh I doubt it" doctor is and will always be that bitch
• The doctor is doing doctory things
• "that's very clever" "oh it is" the doctor bragging about how clever he is starts here
• Damn tegan she just shot a Cyberman
• Flashback to "the doctor makes people into weapons"
• Finally the doctor vs Cybermen showdown
• Lol I knew they would kill the betrayer
• "our records indicate that you have a fondness for earth" (especially earth girls)
• "this time we shall succeed in destroying the earth" no you won't mate
• Ah the Cybermen coming out of plastic Wrap is a throwback to the 2nd Doctor Cybermen story
• Tegan looks like a badass with the gun
• So they're destroying the leaders of various planets before they destroy the Cybermen
• Tegan has no idea what she's doing
• I love how Five says the most savage lines with the most polite tone
• He could tear you down and look like he's complimenting you
• Tegan has been caught
• Cyberman in the Tardis is weird
• 'who is this woman' - 'no-one of consequence' - 'thanks a lot - gotta love Tegan
• Okay wow that scene between the doctor and the Cyberman about emotions gave me goose bumps what a thrilling scene
• The Cybermen has a point- he can control the doctor because he has emotions
• I'll never get tired of the debate about emotions between them because it genuinely feels like the Cyberman defend the concept of having no emotions to defend their existence
• Five looks hot when he's defending emotions
• Fuck they need to leave Adric behind
• Shit I'm getting nervous
• His theme is playing!
• The Doctor looks conflicted
• Adric leaving his hand out after the doctor let go...
• "I'll see you soon" this is the actors best performance because you can see in his eyes he knows he won't
• The Doctor has never had a companion die before so he walks away without looking back
• "it will once you start getting rusty" Tegan is funny
• Adric is plotting
• The Cybermen say they have no emotions but forcing Tegan watch her own planet getting destroyed is extremely sadistic
• Clever Adric
• The Earth looks different
• Okay so Adric's cleverness is what gets him killed because he knows he can crack the code
• The Dinosaurs! I knew it!
• Oh crap Earth is safe but Adric doesn't know that
• I think this comes down to Adric wanting the doctors attention and wanting to be the best to have his attention
• The Doctor has his pin!
• Five suffocating and shooting a Cyberman is shocking to see
• Adric whyyyyyy
• This Cyberman walking towards him is bloody persistent
• "Now I'll never know if i was right" such Adric last words
• Id like to believe he was
• Damn.
• The Doctors face. The fact that it could have been avoided if he just left the ship
• Adric is the first companion that died on the Doctor's watch
• Adric died thinking the Earth was going to be destroyed and he could have stopped it
• The credits!! his gold star! the silence! this must have been a shock to the viewers. If i didn't know beforehand through spoilers I would be going crazy
• Earthshock had it's ups and downs, the downs in regards to the pace of the plot however the story was good and the Cybermen were fantastic especially their interactions against the doctor. Tegan and Adric were great. Nyssa didn't really have much to do. Davison was amazing. I liked the writing.
• Also I liked the structural shift of the story to the cave androids to the bomb to the spaceship to dealing with The Cybermen to saving Earth and then to Adrics death

Hi I'd like a match up. I'm a infp bi girl. I've had my fair share of struggle with mental health and tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I can be bit reserved at first but once I trust some I'm really bright and witty and WEIRD. I'm into anime and manga and books in general. I'm also super into radio and podcasts. My favorites are Welcome to Nightvale and Alice isn't Dead. I also like to travel. I like swearing and mature/sexual humor. I dislike outside. Thank you my precious Grapefruit! 🍉
Today is Match-Up Day on this blog! I’m trying to clear my inbox of 50+ matchups waiting there. I apologise for the spam that could occur from today and hope you don’t mind it too much. Matchup requests are open until Monday 9am GMT. Thanks!
I match you with…Junkrat!
You both wear your hearts on your sleeves, making you both quick to like each other and become close. Though he isn’t the best at sitting down and helping you with your mental health struggles, he will do everything in his power to make you feel better by cheering you up with his extremely ‘mature’ humour. You both swear like troopers, have bright personalities and, when not pretending to be normal around other people, you both show exactly how weird you actually are. He doesn’t have many hobbies other than making explosives and so when you introduce him to anime, manga and podcasts he is fascinated by them, becoming obsessed quickly due to his rather obsessive personality. He isn’t great with outside either, preferring to just stay in with you where he feels most comfortable.

Thoughts i wanted to unload xp
I understand the view points of many of those in america at the moment republicans and liberal alike but how is having trump any way helpful and is an actual ban on people from different countries or a wall between one neighbour actually that helpful i mean illegal immigrants arent good but a fucking ban a wall loud public statements That are controversial questionable can be taken offensively (dude come on if shoe was on the other foot a lot of republicans would have been offended and go on a gaint Facebook comment section war
Again )
But another question why has the rise of triggerers risen like
There are more republicans who would post or say something offensive just to plain see people react and act like a troll rather than defend their stance on the politcal matters
Which in my opinion the clashes wouldn't have happened if more people (democrats ) went forward with ideas and stances after making sure everyone was on the same page though because frankly if they did i think not everyone would be having so many disagreements
Sure its not offensive, illegal or bad for a guy to wear make up many men have been employed in cosmetics for years eventually they we're gonna wanna show off the skills on themselves for once instead of models or maybe a lot of people are coming out have every right to and but why not try and keep it pg or at least understand not every parent wants their children exposed to something thats hard to explain for a certain amount of time and later when the child is mature or adult enough to understand the topic give more info and allow that freedom so he or she can decide for them selves but at the appropriate age because frankly does anyone else not find 12 year old bisexuals weird
Dude come on this stuff needs a limit everything needs a limit and more education thats key but get on the same page and teach kids math and let them graduate at least before he or she decides to become a weed addicted demi sexual pan romantic traveling artist in Nebraska i mean like
YOU DONT NEED THAT SHIT TO BE SPECIAL
NOR TO BE AN ARTIST
OR ANOTHER SEXUALITY
AND IT DOENST MAKE YOU SUPERIOR OVER ANYONE NOR DOES TRYING TO BECOME A MINORITY
THE MINORITIES WILL ALWAYS NEED TO BE IMPORTANT SO THAT THINGS REMAIN FAIR
BUT MENTAL, PHYSICAL DEASES NEW SEXUALITIES AND GENDER IDENTITIES GIANT ARGUMENTS OVER WHOS WORSE WHOS BETTER AND WHY PEOPLE OF A RELIGION OR A RACE OR CAST SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN A COUNTRY
for one sorry i was shouting but like
I am gonna bring up the stupid over used facts all Americans are immigrants and that not all of them had great lives back in europe which is why they moved isn't there hypocrisy in saying middle eastern people don't get to do that
But again some should stay but why not give elderly, parents and children a pass sure europe has many other options aswell but is it so awful some people choose America fine if its a ban And no dont we dont want more immigrants
Fine just be nice to the ones you have than frankly is that so hard
And dont start Ohhh but feminism is just bitchs wanting to be better
It isnt like that man i mean like moms should get maternal leave
And dads should have time off too to help out
If a woman hits a man or falsely accuses him of abuse or rape should get punished obviously but for God's sake if there weren't so many perverted idiots and guys who think its ok to just go invading a woman's personal space isn't cool and the fear of it is something that is a main reason that's basically help create the giant following
Is it unfair and used extremistly at times ofcourse everything and anything will be misused this is humanity we're talking about not saints or prophets those A**holes left a while ago
(Getting to religion)
But is it so bad to be a feminist really man
Come on for gods sake it isnt its just wrong when it turns biased and in the favour of the other gender which is basically just sexism not feminism
(Can we please agree on the fact there might be a fucking difference!)
And true western countries dont need it as much as middle eastern or south Asian African or south American even might need it but feminism isnt a bad thing (PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT NEVER STARTED AS A BAD THING IT WAS FAIR THEN AND THOSE WOMEN STARTED IT OUT OF JUSTIFIED REASONS AND IT DID BENEFIT BOTH GENDERS LOOK IT UP DO SOME RESEARCH MALE RAPE CASES WERE FINALLY OPEN BY THE FBI THANKS TO THE MOVEMENT IN THE 60'S ITS A THING THAT CAN BE BOTH GOOD AND BAD JUST LIKE REPUBLICAN IDEALS OR LIBERAL AND NEITHER STARTED AS BAD THINGS! )
As well for religion why must everyone use the term not all Muslims are terrorist but all terrorists are Muslims like the liberals have points for that thatsoffensive man seriously AND THAT IS SO NOT HELPFUL AT ALL MAN LIKE
I swear the amount of adults ive seen and met who think their religion is being destroyed and their customs as well because their children have become internet addicted assholes (like myself inculded ) who want to disrespect them their Morals and values and become foreigners and American ofcourse because theyre so cool blah blah blah
(Personally fuck it i kinda like being Pakistani but i do enjoy the internet ) which for some reason has become a the main reason why I get lectured more than i think i really need man i mean my language can turn vulgar and i can be socially a little awkward if uncomfortable but like why is me liking rock music and youtube and having a accent a reason to assume i would rather be American i do love my home and where i am from i am proud of my family and where we come from but why enjoy every thing else in the world aswell and not be considered a traitor or something
(Ok too personal )
Alright maybe what i am trying to get is how come no one can just elect a decent a leader or agree to disagree about things but still respect each other stay open minded but have your morals close by and principles uncompromised biasness is human but why no agree to disagree and leave it at that
The insecurity increasing and old facade of wanting to be rich and famous and not work for it has come back
Help me on patrion, like my video post photo blah blah blah dude just get a job why is it so necessary to work in entertainment for hells sake
I mean its valid you wanna sure go ahead maybe you are worthy but like stolen content and fake stories and new sexualities for gods sake please
(No longer about politics i suppose )
Here's my mind on it i guess
LGBTQA community has every right a straight white male or female would have no more no less but gender and sexuality identification maybe kept a simple (memorable and easier to define on fine paper and print during adoptions divorce marriage leavint the country or not etc ) and that being hetreo, homo, bi, A and pan because that makes sense
Its simple
And works
And as well for gender identification
On fine paper
if you are Male to female m to f
Female to male f to m
Something less explainable just keep it trans
Because frankly leave it at that why not just like why not?
Its simple makes sense justified fair and but isnt over done for some petty individuals looking for attention to take advantage of (ofcourse no guarantees but why not just keep some faith ? )
And no one gets to chose all on paper until after 18 because thats fucking fair
(Come on its not like its illegal to come out say it in public )
And yes none of that would be applied in most countries especially not mine but it would be a good start in my opinion
Any way i think i am done venting my thoughts anyone who is annoyed can ignore (why did you read this much of it and not justgo three lines and decide nah boring lets bail )
Anyone who has an opinion or would just like to talk is welcomed BUT CAN WE PLEASE KEEP THIS CIVIL I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING BY THESE STATEMENTS
i was just venting some thoughts
And not trying to force them on anyone or anything but i just wanted this out of my head and see if others agree or not (no not for the purpose to be right or wrong ) but because i can't be the only one who thinks all the political maddness right now was all avoidable and that people are becoming
Weirder
Not in a good sense
Not because of religion race or anything like that just like
Mind sets
I feel like its like the key to harmony and at least balance or peace is right there no one wants to take it
I am probably going to regret posting this but i am gonna anyway not like people actual read my blog or anything
