what is the most expensive thing magnus owns? or alternatively, what is his first big purchase after becoming a junior partner?
The most expensive thing Magnus owns (other than the obvious stuff like laptop, phone, etc) is this REALLY nice replica of Andúril (Aragorn's sword from LOTR) which was a gift from his brother-in-law

I watched the BTS video for The Power of the Doctor last night and Jodie mentioned going in especially on her day off so that she could meet everyone for the ‘Companions Support Group’ scene and then I saw this photo on Katy Manning’s Instagram:
Tumblr media
I’m not sure who the guy at the very back is, At the back is the Director, Jamie Magnus Stone, then in the back row there’s William Russell (Ian Chesterton) on the left, standing next to Jodie Whittaker (Thirteenth Doctor), Bradley Walsh (Graham O’Brien) in the middle, then John Bishop (Dan Lewis), and Sophie Aldred (Dorothy ‘Ace’ McShane) on the far right. Front row from left to right is Jemma Redgrave (Kate Stewart) (on whose shoulder William’s resting a hand), then Mandip Gill (Yasmin Khan), Bonnie Langford (Mel Bush), Katy Manning herself (Jo Jones née Grant) and finally Janet Fielding (Tegan Jovanka).
NGL, I want to write a Companions Support Group fic.

so, i said that if i got a thousand bookmarks, i would make a podfic of one of my most popular fics. and i did. hence...
I took the top five in all categories of stats for this. The first five dominate in pretty much every field, but TBC is currently my fifth most commented fic (original comment threads are counted, not my responses) and Mismatched managed to become my fifth most subscribed fic within one week of me posting it.
I'd love to hear your feedback on this!
As promised, links are under the cut:
Wolfhounds and Hellhounds (T, 131k)
The Fairy and the Angel (will kick your ass if you call them that) (T, 240k) (For obvious reasons, I'm not doing the whole fic.)
Extraordinarily Close By (G, 48k)
The Last Surviving Member of the Archives (All Four of Them) (N/A, 15.6k)
Maybe I Do Like You, Just Don't Make It Weird! (G, 4k)
The Bullseye Cut (T, 26k)
A Mismatched Bunch (G, 5k)

You know, Kallamar is/was probably pretty close to Heket when you think about it, even if it wasn't in the friendliest way
Disease and famine often have a lot of overlap, as disease in plants often causes crops to die and people to starve, and people who are hungry are more likely to succumb to disease. So the two of them would be more likely to work together than all the others, because in most cases, one bleeds into the other, and there's no hard line between the two. It's all just decay
Plus they're both aquatic. So they obviously have spa days together

do you have any headcanons or AUs for riyira?
I do actually (mostly regarding how they speak since I read the stories aloud)!
Royce speaks usually in a monotone, I'm using my standard American accent, a little bit rougher, and a little deeper than my voice. He usually colder when he speaks, and raises his voice only on occasion.
Hadrian is a Scottish boi, I don't make the rules. I got that idea from when we got to see the village where he grew up. He usually sounds like he's smiling, and his voice is pitched just a bit higher than Royce's to balance out Arista's angry, almost-yelling voice.
Gwen's voice is very smooth and rich; deep and comforting, with a hint of an accent (I went for a mix of Greek and Italian for where Calais is in-universe). I would have felt weird imitating the accents of any Middle Eastern or African nations.
Arista is throaty and assertive. She speaks in a forceful, upper-class American accent (think East Coast Old Money/Robber Baron), and her voice is lower and serves to balance out Hadrian's lighter tone.
Alric is a little shit (especially at the beginning of Theft of Swords). He has the same accent as Arista, but is infinitely whinier. His voice is a bit nasally, and higher pitched, but lowers over the course of the books.
Myron's voice is soft and sweet as he is but is a little sad. His voice is higher pitched, floaty instead of nasal. His voice contains a childlike wonder at the world around him, but imbued with quiet confidence.
Albert Winslow sounds like a Southern Gentleman Who Didn't Own Slaves but is Super Oblivious.
Mauvin, Fanen, and the rest of the Pickering troupe have the same style speech as Alric and Arista, but they sound decidedly more Scandinavian. Mauvin sounds reedy, Fanen sounds breathy, Denek sounds more childlike, and Lenare has a more musical voice.
Esrahaddon has a British accent, for which I just imitated Tom Hiddleston. He is either slightly amused or super scary, and Hiddleston works for both.
Bishop Saldur sounds like Emperor Palpatine. No I will not be elaborating.
Modina/Thrace has another voice that changes over time. She starts out small and soft, and slightly Irish sounding, as do the people of her village. In later books, she retains the Irish lilt but her voice deepens and becomes more commanding as she grows into her title of Empress.
Magnus is from Brooklyn, and, like his character, softens over time. He begins angry, nasal, and sharp, and becomes a lot more measured as the story goes on.
All of the other characters are usually Mississippi Southern, Minnesota Midwestern, East End London, New York, Irish, Scottish or the Italian/Greek mixture depending on where we are and where they're from.
Most of the Elven characters have Eastern European accents.
Let me know if there's anything else you want to know or if I missed anyone, I love answering questions!

Ranking My MCs on How Likely They Would Be Adopted by Batman
Not a single person has ever asked for this. However, I have seen so much batfam stuff on my dash it's been living rent free
Val Ebony (ILITW) If you told me Val moved to Gotham and was a vigilante for a few years and then moved back right before ILITW I think I would believe you. This man has the whole package: dark hair (his hair is brown underneath all the dye), tragic backstory, shitty parents, even shittier bio dad who's also a villain, homicidal rage, he even died! But overall what got him to the top is just because of how well he fits with the Gotham and the Bats' vibes and aesthetics. Like it just feels right.
Eros Blackwell (Immortal Desires) Batman would have showed up in Crimson Beech to try to recruit Eros only for Eros to explain they do in fact still have a mom *who is on thin ice with me rn). However. They still get REALLY close, especially when they find out Gotham is on a ley line. I'm tempted to say Eros, Cas, and Gabe fuck off to Gotham after ID 2
August Rose (Crimes of Passion) So August's backstory is that they grow up most likely without their mom, and then their dad is mysteriously murdered. August tries to solve it themself but fails and instead becomes a detective to solve other crimes and hopefully find justice for other people. They're gruff, badass, and too damn clever. They were definitely Robin. Hell they could be Batman for all we know and it just wasn't mentioned in CoP
Magnus Bishop (Laws of Attraction/Into the Windverse) While slightly less likely only because he becomes a lawyer instead of some sort of detective or hero. However, he absolutely has the potential. His parents were murdered when he was young, he was tormented at school and betrayed by his friends, he was neglected by his foster mother and separated from his sister, all before he turns 18. He even gets super powers eventually. He has the determination, the ambition, and hell the whole reason he became a lawyer was to defend people from the systems that beat him down his whole life.
Asterin Nightbloom (BOLAS) I mean Asterin is pretty obvious, he's like the quintessential hero. Dead parents (twice), super skilled, heart of gold, etc etc. He's practically born to be a hero and I think he'd be such a good bat. Maybe not a Robin unless it's just for a few years before becoming his own hero
Leon Vance (It Lives Beneath) The main reason Leon is so high up is because he is so fucking capable. That's what the bats are known for among other heros. And of course there's his classic bat backstory. He's a badass, he unearths a CULT, has a cool and unique signature weapon, forms his own team and even has a super hero suit. Best part, he looks good the whole time.
Damian Stone (Murder at Homecoming) There's the obvious stuff like being a genius, a detective, unsolved mystery haunting the narrative, solving a murder, looking good doing it, socially awkward, etc etc, but I also have to add that I literally named them after Damian Wayne. In fact their name was originally gonna be Tim after Time Drake but Damian sounded better. However, they do suffer in the rankings seeing as they have both of their parents, both of which are also very good parents.
Callum Wayland (Hero) Listen, Callum would be a great DC hero but in terms of Batman relations I don't think he'd be adopted. Unfortunately for him the Super Family parallels are just too hard to ignore. However I could see him being a Bat's emotional support Super so they'd see each other a lot and I think Bruce would be begrudgingly fond of him when he finds out Callum punched a corrupt rich guy into the stratosphere.
Castor Athantis (It Lives Within) Castor has all the makings of a PHENOMENAL DC superhero but again I just don't see them as a bat. They have too much of a mystical connection. They're more likely to run ith someone like Constantine. I'm sure they'd be associated, I could definitely see Castor joining Justice League Dark, but that's it
Emrys (The Cursed Heart) Emrys will fight for people but it's not something they're really going to pursue. They have the backstory for it, don't get me wrong, but going out and punching bad guys just isn't really their thing. In a modern au they might be some sort of friend of Bruce's and a Batman ally but they wouldn't be a hero.
Julian Athantis (It Lives Within) Julian is just as good a candidate as Castor, down to mystical powers. But Julian would only be a hero to help Castor, if he was one at all. He just wouldn't have his heart in it. He'd show up, help other heroes, and I could definitely see his and Lincoln's apartment being open to be used as a safe house, but he just doesn't want to be a hero. Not as in he's just not interested, more as in he actively does not want to be a hero.
Taylor McKenzie (Endless Summer) Taylor is in a similar boat as Julian where he doesn't really want to be a hero. He'll show up to big planet-threatening shit but otherwise he just wants to go to college and love his friends and husband. I could see the Justice League, Batman especially, keeping tabs on him so they'd know each other but that's about it. More likely Taylor would just go create problems for Dr. Fate when he's bored and then go back to minding his business.
Apollo Solaris (The Elementalists) Apollo really fits the hero archetype. However. I think if he stepped foot in Gotham city he'd explode. Or maybe Gotham would. They just clash so severely that even if he did meet Batman for whatever reason they'd hate each other.
Mattheo Lazarin (Bloodbound) Listen. Mattheo has enough on his plate being the Bloodkeeper and dealing with vampire shit. He doesn't have time to care or be a hero.

Sophie Aldred: "I'd No Idea Ace and Tegan Returning to Doctor Who Would Be Such a Big Deal!"
Sophie Aldred: "I'd No Idea Ace and Tegan Returning to #DoctorWho Would Be Such a Big Deal!"
Ace is coming back into Doctor Who! Yes, Sophie Aldred is returning to the part for Jodie Whittaker’s final episode, The Power of the Doctor. So how did she feel about coming back? What was she doing when she got the call to return? Can you tell us about the call to come back and be a part of the centenary special and was it a tough decision? I’ll never forget where I was. I was in the…

Doctor Who BBC Centenary Special Review: The Power of the Doctor
Jodie Whittaker's final episode as the Doctor has broadcast at long last. As an episode, I found it tremendously satisfying, with some of the tensest scenes in recent years, though it fumbles the end of Chibnall's era as a whole, especially with Yaz
The final adventure for Jodie Whittaker’s trailblazing incarnation of the infamous Time Lord is giddily ambitious and littered with brilliant fan service (more…)

Doctor Who Flux, Part Four: Village of the Angels
Doctor Who Flux, Part Four: Village of the Angels
Episode: Village of the Angels Story Number: 297d Series: 13 Screenwriter: Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton Director:  Jamie Magnus Stone Thoughts: Recurring villains are always a mixed bag on Doctor Who.  It’s an easy way to appeal to fans by bringing back something familiar, but the stories can become repetitive.  The Weeping Angels were something dramatically new when they first appeared in…

I'd love to interview like Magnus Carlsen or whoever and not actually ask them about professional chess. I'd start by asking, "What personalities do you think the pieces have?" And they'd chuckle, thinking it's a cute starter question, and give a cute answer.
Next, I'd ask if it's hard for the queen, being the only female piece. They might think it's a segue into talking about institutional misogyny in chess, and they'd go along with it.
Then I'd ask my next question: "Do you think a black pawn and a white pawn could fall in love?" Their face drops. The entire interview is going to be like this. "Are pieces on the same side friends, or just coworkers?"
"Is she mocking me?" they think.
"Is the king a wife guy?"
"No, she seems genuine, I'm not being pranked. Why is she doing this? Is it like a personality test? Is she getting off to it?"
"Do you think the bishop has abs?" I continue. "Is he celibate or is he like, 'If the archbishop doesn't find out, it doesn't matter'?"
"She is getting off to it!" They realize. But it's too late. I'm already jerking off under the table.
