I formally wish to apologize to the poor author since I can apparently not stop drawing fanfic-fanart.

Have general grievous ig.

Fic-series is the 'desert storm saga' by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning

I'm actually not done with the Doctor Who analysis because I'm scrolling through the tag and I think we're missing something:

A decent central theme and messaging does not making the writing of the episode inherently good.

Sci-Fi is political, it has always been political, and it's rarely as subtle as people claim it to be. This has also always been true with Doctor Who. And it's bringing up points that are important to the world we live in at the moment. But a story having central themes and political statements does not make the narrative inherently good or impactful.

Commentary on the political climate of the world doesn't make an episode inherently enjoyable, the writing is so lackluster. Few of these episodes end with me feeling emotionally moved by the statements they're making, most of the time it ends and I can say "yeah I get it" and that's about it. (Boom and 73 Yards are the exceptions so far)

I get that Space Babies is an anti-abortion metaphor.

I understand the importance of having non-binary characters on screen like Maestro, especially for a British audience.

And the importance of trans characters on screen like Rose Noble

I get that Boom is the way capitalisms fuels the war-industrial complex

And that 'thoughts and prayers' doesn't solve a problem that's killing people

I get that the internet can create echo chambers for racists

I get that these people would rather die on the 'frontiers' than seeing a black man as an equal and letting him help them because of their biases

It's not hard to understand each episode and the themes of them, what's hard is to enjoy the writing of those themes, the characters, and the plot. (The actors are doing well with the scripts they're given. Ncuti is an amazing actor)

So let's say it again:

A decent central theme and messaging does not making the writing of the episode inherently good.

[a-shrieking-cloud-of-bats]

you know that love yourself before you love others post made me think a bit about how a lack of self esteem causes you to pursue and overvalue other people's opinions and how social media is in this sense essentially custom made to exploit lower self esteem people in this sense

and funnily enough I was also sort've struggling with my decision last night to bail on bus game because I was understandably emotional just in general last night and I Was not in the best place mentally and all that said I'm going to play bus game again

Can't believe I'm watching the Plaent of the Apes Trilogy instead of my tri-yearly watch of The Maze Runner Trilogy.

my dog came and got me while I was getting ready for work this morning, and she was signaling that it was Very Urgent. I followed her downstairs thinking something was wrong with my senior dog or my partner but the minute my foot hit the bottom step my partner loudly asked "Did she come get you, too?"

"She did, what's wrong?"

"She wants you to look at the frog."

"...The frog?"

"Yeah. The frog."

"There's a frog?"

"on the window, yeah"

so she was standing in the corner staring at me VERY expectantly and somewhat impatiently, so I walked over and she immediately turned her attention back to the window and sure enough. very high up. and very small. there was a frog.

keep in mind that bigfoot himself could be in the yard outside and this dog Would Not Care. but god forbid a frog catches a vibe on the window I guess. anyway. glad my dog deemed this worthy of my attention
