I do have to honest there were some things in 15’s series i didn’t like like the whole thing with Susan Foreman and the fact there were NO Daleks, NO Cybermen, and NO weeping angels. One, I was so excited for Susan to come back and the idea of time lords as a whole possibly coming back (cause I mean one other Time Lord aka The Master coming back when all Time Lords but The Doctor are supposed to be dead and gone is one thing, ANOTHER time lord and a Gallifreyan coming back ?? Now something’s going on but that’s just me), but like we saw one clip of of her and The Doctor mentioned it offhandedly like twice and then nothing else. Also I’m a sucker for Daleks especially (I have a Dalek poster and a Dalek shirt as of now and my user is LITERALLY daveydalek) so it felt so off not seeing them in any episode. That was also a bit weird since everyone seems to agree RTD is on a nostalgia kick and trying to just bring back his era with Nine/Ten especially considering during his run the first Dalek and Cybermen stories were in it and the Weeping Angels were literally introduced in his run (yes I know he didn’t write any of those episodes, but I think most will say Blink, Dalek, and Rise Of The Cybermen/Age Of Steel were RTD era episodes). Anyways please let’s get new writers💔

If I see one more person say ‘ Why did the Doctor regenerate into Rose Tyler (/Bad Wolf)? ‘ or ‘ why is Rose back ? ‘ or anything like that I am going to LOSE IT !!!!! Billie Piper did NOT come back as Rose. The Doctor did NOT regenerate into Rose. The Doctor regenerated into Billie Piper who ALSO happened to play Rose, so now The Doctor and Rose have the same face which as we’ve seen is possible for Time Lords. Romana regenerated and took on Princess Astra’s face, and Eleven when regenerating into Twelve took Caecilius’ face. We all literally saw it infront of our very eyes that The Doctor regenerated into Billie. Billie Piper is The Doctor.

Scrolling thru tumblr and seeing that everyone else hated it… I understand completely but like… Omega eating the Rani gulp one bite? The Doctor rewriting Belinda into his baby mommy and then immediately abandoning her forever? Inexplicable 13 cameo with clumsy Thasmin mention? SURPRISE two season Doctor regeneration twist and it’s BILLIE PIPER?? Cunt.

I liked it though. Happy to go along for the ride. It's always been a ridiculous show.

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

absolutely obsessed w the doctor just seeing the master every time and going “i could fix them. by putting them in a cage. and keeping them with me forever and ever. so they could never leave me. but they’re definitely the one with problems. i’m totally fine.”

Kinda adore the fact that any time the Master comes back to Doctor Who the Doctor basically pauses the story and tells their companions "sorry, gotta deal with some psychosexual romantic drama with my on-and-off-again genderfluid homicidal ex/narrative foil that WILL traumatize you (and your family/boyfriend/loved ones) for the rest of your lives" all the while the companions are literally just the Live Slug meme

As a kid learning about the holocaust, I never understood how people could let Nazis rise to power. But now I’m watching it happen in real time.

imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.

Teamwork

I got inspired by this post

[daveydalek]

call me crazy but i think that the odd squad could totally be an ally to the scp foundation especially in like a broken masquerade timeline

like bro imagine the meeting

"ok so the whole world knows about these reality warping entities what do we do?"

and the unpaid intern runs in with a newspaper

"boss you gotta see this"

"what the FUCK do you mean some 10 year olds contained it??"

gang i wanna see a fanfiction where the foundation debates whether to contain odd squad or alliance with them it would be so cool

i feel like this could only happen in the broken masquerade timeline cause by that point everyone would know about them

and IMAGINE the interactions that would happen

Scientist: We lost track of this universe-destroying entity in the late 1880s without being able to contain it. We can only pray it's gone for now.

Agent O: Oh yeah, we contained it really quickly!! We found out it only comes out every 100 years and likes spaghetti, but with even amounts of meatballs :) so he was just hungry and now so he doenst come out again we made it a spaghetti vault:))

Scientist, whos spent the last 10 years researching said creature: oh :) That's so great :)

I HATE the Next Doctor (from the 2008 special) because why is he just an ass ?? I’m 10 minutes into this special I think and he’s said ‘ This is no job for a woman ‘. FUCK YOUUUU !!!!!! I know you had amnesia but clearly you also forgot about sense too so I need someone to knock it back into your head sir.
