Do Daleks have automobile races or similar? If so, Dalek race drivers be like "ACCELERATE. ACCELERAAAATE!"

Not on official records. But if you know what you're doing, you can usually sneak this sort of thing under the radar. Timing how quickly it takes you to pilot the hoverbout to the town you are invading looks like normal tactical information, but also you can compare that with your friends to try getting a better score.

And yes, there is screaming.

[OH haha yep! That's drawn by me! I would have drawn this years ago during my Amino days. I don't think I had a tumblr yet, or if I did, I wouldn't have had this sideblog. A little weird to see 3 year old art circulating XD]

Look at this humanoid Derrick someone made me!

LEAKED TRANSMITION - 1

heyyy, found this in the archives. I think Riz just forgot to delete it but I like airing out people's personal problems. Fuck U Riz this is what you get for calling me 'irrational'. Dunno who 'Arkelis' is tho, but this dates to before Riz got out of the empire so it still uses her unit instead of their name. Gross. - Delmaru

TZ_404: [REDACTED BY UPLOADER], are you online?

TZ_404: sorry. Encrypted transmission and all that.

XR_674: You're quick with data editing. I can see why [REDACTER BY UPLOADER] likes you.

XR_674: we can say Suprime Paragdim, right? Or are we using different encryption?

TZ_404: oh yeah we can, sorry about that. It's just no individual names.

XR_674: 'Soup' isn't a name. You've said it yourself, Palange.

TZ_404: Soup gets angry enough about using it that we might as well treat it as a name.

XR_674: Is Soup reading this?

TZ_404: Probably not.

XR_674: good.

TZ_404: our chat colors look sorta Christmas-y.

XR_674: the human holiday has designated colors?

TZ_404: Arkelis, you can read the archives too!

XR_674: I know, not as fast as you.

XR_674: stupid fucking Special Weapons genes and all that.

TZ_404: there's no way that those affect how fast you read archives.

XR_674: well, someone did a shit job at my gene alterations and now I'm here.

TZ_404: Torntique get under your skin today?

XR_674: not literally, thank goodness.

XR_674: wait, Torntique doesn't get censored but my name does?

TZ_404: Soup doesn't think Torntique deserves a name. I mean, it named itself anyway, but we aren't required to sensor it in this broadcast.

XR_674: It doesn't get a name but you do.

TZ_404: Because I was already in the system by the time Soup came to power and Torn wasn't. I still had to shorten [REDACTED] to [REDACTED] to comply though.

XR_674: HA

XR_674: SUCKER

TZ_404: :{

XR_674: anyways when are you coming back to the home ship?

TZ_404: I don't know. When this expedition ends once the probes run dry

TZ_404: or if they get... conveniently emptied.

TZ_404: a higher-up who I'm designating 'stupidhead' keeps trying to fight me. I've gotten too many behavior strikes recently to risk doing anything more than tucking my tail and taking a beating.

XR_674: and this 'Stupidhead', you'll need some brawn to 'reason' with them, I assume?

TZ_404: well, with the pattern of Doctor skirmishes we've been having, the day after this expedition returns would be an awful time for negotiations.

XR_674: launch plan 'Firefall'?

TZ_404: affirmative. Let's fuck some shit up.

[dalekriz]

There's something off with shadows here.

I've never been one to be scared of the dark. That's a human thing. I'm a Dalek, I have night vision, and I can tell that it's just the dark. I'm not a particularly steady-minded Dalek, either. I'm skittish and paranoid and all kinds of fucked. But Daleks aren't scared of the dark. If we jump at a shadow, there's something in it.

So why am I glancing over my back? Why do I feel the sinking dread when I walk into a room and the lights are all turned off?

I talked to Delmaru, they're good with irrational things. They say it's ghosts.

Ghosts don't exist. I think we both are due for a tune-up.

But I listen to Delmaru's stories anyway. Maybe it's the ghosts getting to me. They say that everyone in the universe is followed by the spirits of the people who made them who they are, whatever that means. They say that since Daleks are genetically altered beings cloned off a few hundred Kaled individuals thousands of years ago, we are extra haunted. The older the particular Dalek breed, the more haunted they are. According to Delmaru.

I don't know how Delmaru found out what a Kaled is. They called them 'Dals', so maybe they don't know.

but they called this phenomenon a 'genetic memory imprint'. They said it gets stronger here, on Skaro, where our base genetics were born. Even on this failed version.

They said I could be standing on top of where hundreds of versions of my genetic code- the code before the Paradigm altered me- once stood.

It's all fairy tales, of course. an attempt by an irrational Dalek to explain data skips.

So why did I catch a glance of a white-haired Dalek out of the corner of my vision?

Any advice is appreciated. Especially regarding if human malware can affect Dalek organics.

To build off of the answer to that ask about apple trees, why not fertilize the ground with ground up corpses instead of letting them rot in the sewer?

well, I'll need to find more corpses for one. Or get into the sewers. Maybe Sey knows where some are? - Dalek Riz

Riz. It's a figure of speech. If apples really kept the Doctor away we would have tried that by now. Also, WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT USES FOR CORPSES THEN APPLE TREES. Like food. - Dalek Sey

I think it would be fun to try though! - Dalek Cess

Sorry for another question(i think i should deal with it somehow), but i saw a new mini special episode with 14th(???) and i wanted to know your opinion on it, if you have watched it

That’s OK, you just gave me the right opportunity to talk about it! And there’s a long text) Most important take: change in appearance is not the problem, change in character is!

Regarding the episode itself: I find it aesthetically pleasing and it was kinda funny at certain moments, but I couldn’t help but think that for the sake of those jokes something more impressive have been mercilessly sacrificed. For example I didn’t like how much Doctor had interfered with the act of creation of the daleks. It neglects how personally important to Davros are his children and how overprotective he’s over them. The Doctor shouldn’t have been involved in the genesis of the most horrible race in the universe this much either. Also the choice of their name is a spit straight in the face for all BF fans. And there’s an issue with kaled clothes: Davros is dressed like a security commander while there’s no reason why someone who’d always put scientists above soldiers and politicians would wear a military uniform in his own laboratories. He looks like a part of the military elite, but ranks exist for a reason and hence there’re different uniforms to distinquish them from one another. Also you have to wear light colored clothes in laboratories to be able to notice immediately any dirt or if anything have spilled)

Now addressing the elephant in the room: uncrippled Davros. First of all: I do not mind the way he looks, except for the fact that character’s iconic look is lost completely. But I may find this appearance of his attractive too. His new face isn’t something overly tragic. The problem is about the timeline and the statement RTD made on the topic: Davros was never crippled. And just like that it means that Davros never had to survive the bomb, he is not in constant pain and he does not need any physical assistance. Which leads to a number of results: he doesn’t have a trauma from burning alive, completely changing the way he looks and then going through a medical hell with all its pain and restrictions; he never had to choose to live and carry on with his work, because he was never inferior to the kaleds due to his condition and hence he was never separated physically and socially from other "pure" kaleds by his condition; he also have never formed a special villain&henchmen bond with Nyder, bc half of his services and fanatical sensitivity to changes in Davros’ mechanical voice aren’t required anymore, as well as him being ready to follow a “crippled kaled". I feel like some people completely forget what the character development is. And most seem to not understand the peculiarities of it for a person with special needs that lives in a fascist society. That’s the biggest problem. It’s not the same character anymore. And the cherry on top: "new Davros" idea undoes the work of everyone involved in creating 6-disk BF audio series that tells the story of Davros as we know him (btw in BF stories his trauma was something that lead us to be able to experience empathy even towards Davros. And empathy is a good thing, you know)

Isn’t it also offensive that the bosses of the show speak as if the trauma of losing half of one’s body means nothing so you can just toss it out of character development. How many people with special needs are really OK with that idea? That their trauma and impact on their life it had is no big deal?

Then there’re good and bad people in every demographic. Saying that special needs people aren’t evil sounds pretty stereotypical to me. Also I’ve literally never heard anyone complain about Davros’ needing a life-support chariot before. But what a way to ruin a great character. Davros wasn’t even a person with special needs for the reason "the RTD statement" suggests. He was supposed to look like this, to emphasise how far away he’s from other kaleds while much closer to daleks, and to visually represent how he’d put everything he is himself into his creations. Bonus argument: he’s not even in a wheelchair. What people view as such is actually his life-support system that also allows him to move normally. The best part in my opinion: they said no bad guys with special needs and now we have NO REAPPEARING CHARACTERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. So why couldn’t they just stop creating villains that have special needs for the future episodes, leaving old ones as they were. For me you either do that or you go and re-film EVERY EPISODE OF CLASSIC WHO that contains, for example, SEXISM. And they could have included a full time compainion who is wheelchair bound or something.

Also Davros had appeared in New who two times or so. He isn’t around most of the time, there was no reason to mess with this specific character! 48 YEARS it has existed peacefully and no one cared

The money are the key to everything but I’m convinced that changing a 50yo design of a well known villain will not help the bosses earn more!

So the more you think about it from each perspective the less logical this decision seems. And this is what I dislike just as much as the fact that my favorite character won’t continue to exist. Because if he dies, at least tell me WHY

And all of this distraction bosses of the show have managed to squish in only five minutes! Daleks would envy them)

This episode was such a backstab overall! If given a choice I’d prefer Davros to never appear again at all(

This is absurd and insanity

Dalek Arkelis, what is the status of the empire as of current? The known locations of enemies and known leaders? What is the current ongoing political parties, structures of both the Daleks and the enemies being fought against? (Onebluedalek)

Hello there, The Empire remains strong. we are currently r̷̛̳ẽ̷͔c̵̟̀o̸͍͗v̴͖̉e̵̡͊r̶̠͐i̸̯̇n̶͙̅g̷̤̋ from yet another battle with the Doctor. The Empire will be ready to strike again soon. The Imperial and Renegade branched are currently on strained terms. The scheme came from Davros and its failure was deemed his fault by the Renegade strategists. Although I'm sure you are already aware of this, Blueton. Unless they've finally caught on to you. The next attack is against the planet Sibrush-5. Its people are weak and have barely discovered space travel. It will be quick. The only concern is Cyberman occupation of the next system over. The current leader of the Imperial branch is Davros. The current leader of the Renegade branch is Supreme Dalek Dhast. I have told you all I can. May this information serve you well.

Oh God, if Lost Skaro bees scare Daleks, what the fuck are they like?

Delmaru is currently being tormented by them. Bee nests out here are incredibly good at mimicking seemingly innocent parts of nature, like branches and rocks. there was a 'tree branch' in the middle of a walkway with warnings around it. Delmaru moved it. Bees also remember faces here. They are smart fuckers. - Dalek Riz.

There's an old Earth saying: "An apple a day keeps the Doctor away."

And as far as I'm aware, he's never been to an apple orchard, despite being a huge fan of the planet Earth.
