Hello friends, this is not a new Astral Armadillo video (because life is hard and making videos is also hard) but my lovely partner has been working really hard on a DnD podcast, and if you're interested here's a little introduction video about the characters in our party.

I love showing my non-Doctor Who friends the clip from the five doctors where everybody gets abducted by the weird triangles without context and refusing to elaborate

On this day twenty years ago, Rose Tyler tried to find out more about the mysterious man known as the Doctor by googling "doctor". Iconic shit.

Hey! I made a Tumblr exclusively for this aha What do you ask for when you get your hair done? Because I love it, and I love how flexible it is to different styles! I'm a trans-fem and my hair is a little longer than yours and needs to be cut soon to keep it healthy so like, the inspo is amazing if you're willing to divulge!

Hello! I'm so sorry I'm answering this super late: turns out I'm terrible at checking my asks.

I'm going to be totally honest with you, I've been cutting my own hair for about three years now, so I'm not really sure what I'd be asking for if I went to get it done professionally.

Recently the basic look I go for is shorter at the front & around the ears, and I try to layer it as much as possible. My hair type is also naturally wavey so I'll usually just put some mousse in to try and keep it that way.

I've recently been leaning more towards the fantasy vibe, so I do definitely look at Hobbit hair when I'm looking for inspiration, and one day maybe I'll actually commit to the full Frodo look.

I wish I had a better answer than this to give, but truthfully I've been trying to figure out what works for my hair since I was little and I've finally settled on my current (very basic) routine. I always recommend trying to figure out what works for your own hair type - I stopped going to the hairdressers as they would always straighten my hair when they cut it despite the fact I barely ever wear it properly straightened. I also felt like I never really knew what to ask for and would end up with something I hated. That being said there are some wonderful hairdressers out there who will work with you to figure out what you want - I just decided to go all in on doing it myself.

I wish you the best in your hair journey!

'Enjoy it despite its flaws' is one thing, but Mass Effect somehow invented its own category: 'simultaneously one of the most flawed and the most well-crafted sci-fi stories I've ever experienced'. These games are incredible. They’re the worst. All the women are sexualized. All the women have deeply flawed and complex personalities without being either demonized or romanticized. The first available f/f ship seems to be written along the guidelines of 'what would a straight man find hot'. As the games go on, they effortlessly include multiple same sex romance options given just as much care and development as the the opposite sex ones. You can play as a xenophobic murderhobo asshole. You can play as someone genuinely caring but also harsh, who inspires growth and co-operation wherever you go but who makes hard choices when you have to. You can kill civilians and punch reporters and commit genocide. You can stop a generational war and mediate peace and save several species from extinction. The robots are stereotypically evil cannon fodder. The robots are deeply complex with a tragic history. Your team mates are assholes with xenophobic opinions or justifications for police brutality and genocide, or they just want excuses to Do Murder. You team mates are deeply flawed and can be urged to grow alongside you. The most important aliens are all humanoids. There are plant aliens and jellyfish aliens and insect aliens and elephant aliens and aliens who can’t share an atmosphere with us. You have to drive around countless identically boring planets with little to show for it. You get to discover hidden secrets and civilisations millions of years old and live through some of the most emotionally harrowing scenes in storytelling history. I am going absolutely insane about it.

TJ MIKELOGAN’s HALLOWEEN 2024 EVENT

DAY 8: Costumes and makeup

Crimson Peak (2015) dir Guillermo del Toro

Costume Design by Kate Hawley

Doctor Who is a thrilling journey through time and space that perfectly blends adventure and mystery, making it an ideal choice for Halloween with its array of creatures, costumes, and spine-tingling escapades!

In the 2010 Doctor Who episode The Vampires of Venice, Alex Price wore this striking Elizabethan doublet adorned with pink and purple ribbons.

But this costume didn't originate with Doctor Who. Sandy Powell originally designed it for the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love, where Colin Firth wore it as Lord Wessex.

major props to christopher eccleston for acting out the lines "i couldn't save your world. i couldn't save any of them" with such subtle and layered emotions while also struggling against mannequin people trying to throw him into a pit of lava (he is very clearly standing on a styrofoam pad lit by LED lights)

And I scream, "What’s the time Mr Wolf?" But you, you're blind, you bleat, you bare your claws And you rip my ribcage open And devour what's truly yours And our screaming joins in unison I cry out to the lord 'Cause if we join our hands in prayer enough To God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause That Unwanted Animal - The Amazing Devil
