I got "Heir of Time"

Sounds good to me 🧐

(I'll be honest, if there's time travel I'm sold)

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

[firephoenix2305]

THIS is perfect. Love it.

Was doing this so hard, RTD?! (I'm still mad at him btw)

They should've sacrificed 14 to bring back Poppy he would actually be useful for once.

Or have 13 offer to combine half and half of their regeneration energies so 15 could still keep that gorgeous face, and have her and 15 get into this debate that if 13 spends her regeneration energy here, 15's face might never exist- but then have 15 ask "In theory, would reusing an old face take less energy than creating a new one?". And 13 answer, face scrunched, "I suppose, there'll be fewer cells to burn, because you'll be bringing back what's already in your DNA instead of creating new strands, but that's not how regeneration works-". Then 15 grins, pulling her into a big old bear hug as he realizes this has already happened, this will always happen, what they do here is what will make that old face (14) come back. They will save their daughter (Poppy) together (and yes, he actually remembers who Poppy is here).

But then some shenanigans happen and when the timeline shifts, 13 is still alive and runs off to find Yaz and tell her she loves her. 15 takes Belinda and Poppy to Kerala, but leaves them there with a promise to return as soon as he can, he has another promise to keep- to rescue Rogue, and it'll be dangerous but Belinda is not having it "You’re not leaving me raise our daughter alone. I'm going with you. We can leave Poppy with the Sundays for a bit but I'm going with you." And then they go rescue his boyfriend together.

Also, Conrad rots in a prison cell like he was supposed to and all is right in the world again.

WIP WEDNESDAY

Nix actually remembering to do WIP Wednesday?? Shocking, I know.

Little fragment from ETERNITY chapter 17 - Raphael

- Answer me this, though - she said - If God is a woman, why is she always represented as an old man with an overgrown beard? -

-It is quite curious - Muriel added, looking up at one of the other frescoes - I believe this is one of the first times she was depicted at all, in fact -

- Well - Aziraphale laughed, softly, then lowered his gaze and gave Crowley a friendly glare - Perhaps you should ask the demon in the room -

Ah. That’s what Aziraphale had meant.

Crowley could barely believe it when Michelangelo - in the flesh - had walked into the tavern where the demon was having an evening drink that night in Rome, some 530 years earlier. The young artist couldn’t have been much older than thirty from what he remembered, and he’d just arrived to Rome by order of the Pope himself, to finish up the sistine chapel’s interior. Crowley had tried not to get involved, but in the end he couldn’t help himself: he walked up to Michelangelo and very politely expressed his admiration, to which the young man had replied by smiling and offering to buy him a drink. And who was Crowley to refuse?

What had followed had been a drunken and near-tearful confession from the artist. Turned out the poor sod was terrified to the bone of messing up the paintings; he’d even told Crowley that the Pope scared him stiff. Having absolutely no clue what else to do, the demon had offered some reassurance. And some advice, which might or might not have had anything to do with God having been depicted as a grumpy old man with a glorious beard.

Of course Aziraphale had recognized the joke the moment he’d seen it, all those years ago. Crowley had never said a word about it—hadn’t needed to. One look at the Almighty stretched across the ceiling, and the angel had immediately clocked it.

-Yeeeah, that was me - he smiled, trying not to look too proud of himself - Harmless little prank. But in my defense, the beard was Mikey’s idea -

(This is what I meant in my previous post hehe)

Tagging @beerok23 and @celticseawych because update.

ETA for the chapter: Next week ish, but don't quote me on it 😅

doodlin' during break at work, kindergarten pencils are Not easy to use actually

happy pride month!

[firephoenix2305]

So, I was writing the next chapter of my fic ETERNITY (link below). In this one they arrive in the Sistine chapel (long story) and chat about the paintings and such, so I naturally had to bring up Michelangelo.

I did - in a ridiculous Good Omens-y way, you'll know what I mean in a couple days - and I thought of a hilarious headcanon I wanted to share.

I now think that throughout history Crowley has influenced great geniuses in the randomest of ways, shaping culture without really meaning to.

Like, imagine:

He and Beethoven got drunk together once and Crowley bet him five quid (or the equivalent of the time) he couldn't compose something absolutely nobody could dance to. A couple of months later, he'd come out with "The Late String Quartets"

Or

The apple which fell onto Newton's head didn't fall by accident. Crowley was sitting on the tree as a snake and thought it'd be funny.

Or

He was hangover one morning at an inn and muttered "I think too much". René Descartes was sitting nearby, and that inspired his iconic phrase "I think, therefore I am". Crowley still thinks Descartes should've given him credit for that, but no hard feelings.

Or, or

One time he got very very drunk at a bar in Romania and started ranting to a random man about a Count he'd visited that day. (for undisclosed hellish purposes). He let slip that the bloke had tried to bite him. The random man had turned out to be Braham Stoker, and he'd been taking notes.

I dunno, it seemed funny to me 🤣 (I have a weird sense of humor, don't I? Lol)

This ☝🏼

(Already removed my reblog, just in case)

Just to let people know there is concept art of the Good Omens movie/3 and it’s been said to stop sharing and posting images. Apparently it jeopardizes the release.

So if you see images, don’t share them or reblog them.

Okay so major Reality War spoilers below:

I felt like this episode could have been so much more. Like Wish World set everything up beautifully, but then it just... Didn't really go places. And the main conflict, the stuff that had a full episode to be set up, just got written off in the first thirty minutes. Disappointing in my opinion.

That's not to say that there's not plenty of things that I like about this episode - there are!!! But I made this post with a specific point in mind, a point which is, sadly, a negative.

This is not the point of this post at all but I just want to mention that I'm absolutely bloody fuming about what they did to Belinda. Like no, why the hell would you do that???

The point of this post is that I'm so sad that Ncuti Gatwa didn't get a third series. There are multiple reasons behind this, ranging from the shorter series' to the lack of real development to the fact that I just really liked his Doctor and wanted to see more of him. However, there is one major reason why I'm so annoyed, and that may be due to personal bias towards this certain character but uhh, I'm allowed to be a tiny bit biased right???

THE ROGUE STORYLINE IS GOING TO FALL APART WITHOUT THE 15TH DOCTOR.

Let me explain. So basically, Rogue can only work with the fifteenth Doctor at the moment, in my opinion.

Rogue and the Doctor have very little by way of backstory. They had beautiful chemistry and a dynamic I adore, but they don't really have anything deeper than beautiful, raw potential between them. Which isn't to say that their romance is bad or insincere - it's not! However, it is very very new. It also wouldn't have worked anywhere near as well with any of the previous Doctors - Fifteen is an outlier in that he is flirtatious, charming and socially smooth, unlike his predecessors. And his blossoming romance with Rogue was quite reliant on that to build foundations before a deeper, personal connection could be formed. We got tastes of a more mature connection with the discussion about those they lost, but other than that they were going mostly off of chemistry.

Which is why having the Doctor regenerate before he found Rogue could easily destroy their entire dynamic.

It feels to me like too much was left undone - the mysterious Boss that kept showing up, how Belinda knew what a TARDIS was, and obviously leaving Rogue stranded in a hell dimension that is rapidly falling into the void.

A new Doctor generally represents new beginnings - often a new companion (although that doesn't have to be the case, but any recurring companion throughout regenerations is generally present for their Doctor's regeneration), a new TARDIS and a new outwards personality for the Doctor to match their new face. So typically, plots wrap themselves up during that Doctor's run - for example, 9 and Bad Wolf, 10 and Harold Saxon, 11 and the Silence, etc. Therefore, it would only be logical to similarly wrap up the Rogue plotline during Ncuti Gatwa's run.

The way I see it, there's really only two possibilities now - leave Rogue to fall into the void after suffering in the hell dimension for god knows how long (unsatisfying, dull, feels very incomplete); or have Rogue appear again with a different Doctor, which would mean a completely new dynamic between the Doctor and a character he only had one episode with (jarring, will feel like wasted potential, will essentially be like creating a whole new ship because there isn't a strong, pre-established bond present).

So, in summary, my timerogue loving heart is very very sad to see Ncuti Gatwa go. I'm just saying, Big Finish has the perfect opportunity to complete what RTD failed to finish.

The Reality War

RUTHLESS spoilers bellow. Be warned.

It is late, I am tired, I am ugly crying and I am seething in anger.

15 is, was, and will always be my favourite. I WAS NOT READY. YOU CAN'T JUST REGENERATE ON ME YOU ABSOLUTE -

I want to be excited about- well, about the very end (you know what I mean) but I am so SAD and ANGRY I cannot even form coherent thoughts.

Am I being overdramatic? Possibly. Will it pass? Of course. But Ncuti's Doctor is so special to me, I was just not prepared.

So, I'll probably do a more eloquent screaming session tomorrow when I'm not thinking up a million ways to kill Russel T Davies (/silly/kinda)

Oh, tag game! It's been a minute.

Let's see...What do they remind me of? Hmm.

Well, to be honest, the first thing that comes to mind is one of those drive-in cinemas, where you're watching an immortal romcom in the classiest way possible; all in the midst of a clear, wonderful, starry night. Yeah. That seems about right.

Oh, and this is purely because of their wonderful fic "The Tadfield Holiday", but they instantly remind me of the scene in "The Holiday" where the door opens to reveal Jude Law behind it. (Y'all know what I mean and you know it 🤣)

No pressure tags! (I never know who to tag lol) @holycatsandrabbits @adriankyte-writes @iris-echos @phoen1xr0se

Love the fact that INTENSELY is capitalized. Because of course it is.

I love them so much.

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND READ THE SCRIPT FOR THE ROGUE-DOCTOR PROPOSAL:

if you need me i'll be going insane

[firephoenix2305]

Oh this was a brilliantly sly dig, Russell. I applaud.

[firephoenix2305]

Welp. I just finished wish world

I'm now supposed to go to sleep. How the HELL am I supposed to sleep now?

Screaming below the cut. (MASSIVE spoilers, obviously)

I know I already screamed about it in my previous post but ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE AAAAAAH. HE SAID I LOVE YOU. TF DO YOU MEAN "REALLY LIKE HIM". YOU LOVE HIM TOO YOU NUT.

Okay, so, thoughts now I've finished the ep:

Conrad is still a racist, homophobic, sexist, fascist, ableist little shit and he can die the most painful death immaginable and go straight to a hole in hell as far as I'm concerned.

Seriously. The heteronormativity was already making me viscerally sick and then they hit me with the sexism (which applies for everyone except Kate is seems, you go girl) and the ableism I was ready to puke all over his manchild face.

(To clarify, I'm saying this in a "Oh I hate him so fucking much this is SO WELL DONE kind of way")

Also, Conrad, hunny...HIS NAME IS NOT "DOCTOR WHO" STOP FREAKING SAYING THAT. Jesus. Are you trying to make me go through the screen and decimate you? Because you're just about managing it.

Amazing episode. Incredible. Loved it, beginning to end. (And not only because of Rogue, I promise hehe. He was beautiful though)

But the emotional beats, all the flashbacks, the MUSIC. The score in those last scenes was AMAZING. We love you, Murray Gold. We love you.

UM. GUYS. POPPY IS ACTUALLY THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER? For real? Is he bulshitting? I'm so lookng forward to see how Russel makes sense of that. What does that mean, that Poppy is The Doctor's daughter? I am so confused.

Also Omega?? OH MY GOD. And those special effects? That is some big Disney money right there (guess they didn't have much left for Rogue's backdrop/superhell though huh? /kidding)

Disclaimer, I am kinda on the high of having just finished it, but yeah. Oh my God. Amazing. Peak Doctor Who, that is the RTD I remember. Also he brought Rogue back, have I mentioned? /silly

That's all the screaming I have to do for now I think.

Last thing: The baby doing the giggle legitimately scared the living crap outta me, not gonna lie. When Mrs. Flood went "He's terrifying" I was like "Same, Mrs. F. Same"

Also, acting-wise. Chef's kiss. Ncuti and Varada and Millie and everyone you LEGENDS

Mind. Blown.

HE SAID I LOVE YOU

I AM NOT OKAY

He said I love you. I literally cried. I cried like a goddamned baby

You BETTER not let him die Doctor, you hear me?

Btw, Conrad is a racist, homophobic, sexist little c*nt and I hope he dies painfully. And I swear to GOD if he calls him "Doctor Who" ONE MORE FREAKING TIME

O HOHOHOHO

He did *NOT* just go there.

He did *NOT* just insult Brigadier Lethbridge-Stuart to Kate's fucking face.

"We have to help him!" Fuck that! Let the asshole die!

Okay, now that I'm done screaming.

That episode was CRAZY. LIKE. WHAT??

The scene in the TARDIS? 11/10. No notes. I needed an angry-ass 15 doctor and they GAVE me one.

Also, was I the only one convinced that The Doctor was gonna punch his ass instead of snapping? Boy, that would've been a treat.

I really liked this episode. One of the best Doctor-lites imo.
