Beautiful simple life at a remote village in Borneo. Just like any other longhouse in this region, the settlement is by a river, because it provides them water, fishes, connecting them to other places, and transporting goods.

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?

ROUND 3 MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

The Daemons

Synopsis

The Master, posing as a rural vicar, summons a cloven-hoofed demon-like creature named Azal in a church crypt. Seeking to gain the ancient titan's demonic power, he gathers a cult and then corrupts or controls the residents of Devil's End to bow to his will. Dark elemental forces begin to disturb the village on the eve of May Day: unexplained murders, a stone gargoyle come to life, and a nigh-impenetrable infernal energy dome. With the Master fully prepared to destroy the Earth, the Doctor and UNIT — aided by a benevolent practitioner of witchcraft — battle the wicked rites of a secret science wielded by an alien from another world.

Propaganda

what is the most important quality of a good doctor who story, to have a strong plot, something to say, something new to try. all of these are positives, yes, but sometimes the best doctor who stories are just fun. sometimes they feature the master pretending to be the leader of a satanic cult pretending to be an anglican priest, remote control bessie, an alien who's basically the devil, a living gargoyle, a witch, and the doctor escaping being tied to a maypole by pretending to be a wizard. truly, this is the heights of doctor who, it is beyond fun to watch, i love it so much. If that’s not enough, then surely the fact that this has THE ‘the brigs an alcoholic and mike yates is gay’ moment (anonymous)

An Unearthly Child

Synopsis

Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton, two humble teachers during 1963, are surprised by a bright student named Susan Foreman. Confused by the contradictions in Susan's knowledge, Barbara had decided to visit her home, only to learn that the address on record is a junkyard. She and Ian decide to wait at the location until Susan or her grandfather show up. There, they discover a junkyard inhabited by her grandfather, simply known as "the Doctor", and he doesn't want them lurking about.

When the teachers refuse to leave, they discover that an ordinary police box is actually bigger on the inside. The Doctor decides they know too much about his and Susan's otherworldly origins and takes them on a journey across space and time in his TARDIS, the place he and Susan now call home.

Okay but if I wrote a “kid gojo goes to find kid nanami in his time” spin-off for konpeitō, what then? Huh?

father hans you are the best worst old man to me (yes more than old jochen). i love how the game tries to give him some depth without shying away from his actions

heavy discussion of the apostasy route ahead

so, yeah, he's very zealous in his religious beliefs.

but despite (or maybe because of) his strong convictions, he cares a lot for kieferberg, even if only out of moral obligation:

i mean, he has the decency to feel a little guilty about the supernatural terrors he puts the town through:

that very religious zeal, unfortunately, also makes him willing to have any of kieferberg's residents burnt at the stake for the sake of the town's "salvation". ironic, then, that in the same letter that he condemns walpurga's followers he starts with this:

his well-meaning, yet extremist religiosity is also apparent in his relationship with elise. even with the clear animosity on both sides, he was genuinely concerned for elise's soul after learning about how holle had her in the first place:

...as that concern later turns into condemnation:

yet he doesn't even word it as something he looks forward to either. just something unfortunate that needs to be done.

the way he tries to keep the peace throughout the game and is actually one of the more vocally skeptical among the townsfolk (even if part of that is to diffuse suspicion towards his own experiments) is also interesting considering how his religious beliefs enable him to do genuinely terrible things. like he believes that his god has no problems with him burning people alive but also he wants to be absolutely sure that there's an actual witch to burn in the first place. he is simultaneously the personification of everything wrong with kieferberg and one of the few (aside from gustav, leb, and freya) who are barely keeping the village together

Kind of WMMAP AU x Harvest Moon AU?

Your name is Claire, and you're a farmer living in Bluebell Village. You just finished the quest of making 'Riverside Cottage' at the edge of the village because you take it upon yourself to rebuild the village and make it prosper again because why not.

Soon enough two people move in from faraway lands, they're called "Mr. Lucas and Mrs. Athy", with their dog Sir Nox! They're newlyweds with extraordinary beauty! You've never seen anyone as beautiful as Mrs. Athy before.

Her name reminds you of the missing Obelian Princess, Princess Athanasia though. But why would a Princess be stranded here in a remote village in Arlanta Borders?

They moved in your newly build Riverside Cottage, and Mrs. Athy became Bluebell's new florist, and Mr. Lucas is an alchemist! You want to befriend them for new recipes and blueprints and freebies. Let's make a list of what they like!

Mrs. Athy is born in Winter 3rd, she's kind, delicate, beautiful, and very knowledgeable! She's like a walking dictionary. She's a little shy at first, but will quickly warm up to us. As our florist she can be found on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday at 9 - 5 PM in her glasshouse near the Square. Other than those times she's usually in the Town Library, teaching village's children or Dawn Cafe. After 6 PM, she's in her house.

Favorite Flowers: all colors of Roses and Rose Bouquets, Lily and Lily Bouquets.

Favorite Food: Chocolate Cake.

Worst Gift: Octopus and any kind of food with octopus.

Gifts obtained from Mrs. Athy:

Rainbow Rose Seeds, Chocolate Curry Recipe, Farmer Princess Outfit, Palace Interior Design.

Her husband, Mr. Lucas is the polar opposite of Mrs. Athy! He's often rude and aloof, and grouchy in the mornings. He's your village's alchemist and you can buy Animal Potions, Stamina Potions, Crop Enhancers and stuff! He will also sell gemstones and tool blueprints if you befriended him (or if you bring Mrs. Athy with you). His birthday is in Winter 25th.

He can be found in Mrs. Athy's greenhouse (they share shop space, romantic!) during her working hours, other than that usually he's in his home, working on his potions (you can't visit or give him gifts at this time). After 6PM he's in his house.

Favorite Flowers: Red Roses, Chrysanthemums, Carnations, Poppies. (He dislikes Bouquets)

Favorite Food: Chocolate Curry.

Worst Gift: 90% of vegetable dishes, Eggplant, Carrot.

Gifts obtained from Mr. Lucas:

Gold Animal Potion (gifted once, can buy in his shop after. To make any animal produce Golden goods), Coffee Tree Seeds (gifted once, can be bought in his shop after), Witch Outfit, Magician's Den Interior Design.

You can't wait until you can befriend the two! Good luck for you!
