Themes: 

Time players have a close connection to the color red.

Death often is a subject of interest for a time player. This can be in the form of having an interest in bones, ghosts, the afterlife, etc. Death often follows a time player

All time players’ planets are home to the Scratch Construct. Without them, a Scratch is impossible to perform.

Doomed timelines are always a risk for time players, and it’s not uncommon for a time player to doom themselves and/or others (intentionally or not). Time players simply see doomed selves as a fact of life and as nothing to worry about too much though.

Time players often have ties to music in some way, or rather, the instruments themselves.

Time players have a connection to technology in some capacity

Time players are already awoken on their moons before the game session starts.

Personality:

Time players are inherently prepared for the worst possible outcome. They will spend their whole lives preparing for the worst thing to come, and oftentimes, their preparations were not for nothing. The preparations that time players make are almost always done because of the plausibility of a terrible outcome. They don’t tend to take chances and would rather prepare for the worst than do nothing at all.

They are calculated with all of their actions because they are constantly thinking of the outcome of the situation. Everything they do has a purpose behind it that a time player sees as something important. Sometimes, these actions may seem silly to onlookers, but the time player knows that they have a reason for doing the things that they do.

Time players are not those who simply accept things as they are and they are at constant odds with what fate has in store for them. They seek to change outcomes that they dislike at any cost.

Any player of time is going to be someone who values action over anything else. They are constantly on the move, never sitting still metaphorically. They are players who are always making some sort of progress in order to reach an end goal. They don’t sit back and watch things play out because they would rather be the ones causing influence to get to their goal more efficiently. It comes as no surprise that time players are very goal oriented.

Time players can be defensive of themselves and don’t take criticism lightly. Any critique of them will often lead a time player to take it as a personal attack. Not all-time players will be as aggressive about defending themselves as others, however, don’t expect a time player to take an insult like it’s nothing. Time players always will come back at someone with a snarky response when they take something as an insult. To make things more interesting, they never forget when someone has said something they perceive as a personal attack against themselves. Time players can seem petty for this very reason. A good way of throwing any time player off is to hit them where it hurts most, by attacking their ego.

Time players have a hard time acting in the moment. If something doesn’t go as they planned it to, they often can be left dumbfounded and they have a harder time reacting in the calculated way they usually do. Plans are everything to a time player and time-bound players don’t much appreciate it when they don’t go as they had anticipated. Because of this, time players can make stupid decisions if a situation they haven’t planned for arises.

Time players can be ruthless if given the chance to. This ties into their pettiness and time players can become bloodthirsty at their very worst. They often do so in order to seek revenge of some kind. No matter how dumb the reason for this revenge may seem to those with an outside perspective, it is always justified by the time player. 

It is not uncommon for time players to experience abuse at the hands of others. Their upbringing often leaves them with additional strength to overcome their obstacles and hardships. However, this abuse can also cause a future thirst for blood. They often grow fed up with the abuse that they face and they learn to attack others as a form of defense, in their minds at least. They also use their anger towards their abuse to drive them further toward success. However, not all time players are those who use their abuse to justify abusing others. Many times players will use their experience with abuse as a way to empathize and sympathize with others around them. They often seek to protect others from danger because they didn’t have anyone to protect them. Either way, they hold a series of negative emotions towards their abuse, and time players never forget what was done to them. Time players take a lot of effort and patience in order to learn to forgive others for their crimes, if they even learn to forgive at all. 

Time players have a tendency to repeat things over and over again, both literally and metaphorically. This can leave them feeling as though they are “stuck in a loop”, one may say. Time players will repeat their mistakes countless times, struggling to learn how to overcome their personal endeavors. Their headstrong nature causes them to muscle their way through situations instead of taking a step back and looking at the big picture. They typically force their way through situations rather than take their time to think about doing things differently. 

Time players love to talk. They can be overwhelming to some and annoying to others. However, time players simply have a lot of things to say and so little time to say them. They would rather vomit at the mouth and explain everything to someone rather than keep their thoughts to themselves. 

Time players have an intense personality hidden within them. Some will embrace their intensity while others will hide it away and only show small glimpses into their psyche. The intensity can come in any form, such as intensely angry, intensely happy, intensely bitchy, or intensely cool, but all time players express their intense personalities in some way.

{a timelord's manifesto.}

Picture this: your body is made of bones, yet you can feel time run through it. The very sight of the stars and galaxy under the night sky of Colorado makes you weep, because it reminds you of home. The sight of red tea makes you excited, and ginger makes you tired, yet you do not know why. Your brain runs a million miles per hour and you have so many ideas to change the world around you, and your feet are never flat on the ground. The break of dawn reminds you of the bright orange sky of home. Yet you do not know the name.

Gallifrey.

Deep within your bones, the word strikes you through your heart, and makes it's way into your soul. you feel a sense of belonging, all the sudden, and a tinge of sadness.

Your home is gone, you walk alone, and your kind is gone. there are no more timelords left, your planet died in a war thousands of years ago.

You remember the traditions, you remember your home, and realize you are not from this planet, you are a child of the stars, of the vast expanse of space.

you are a child of gallifrey.

Gallifrey.

They that walk in the shadows.

you struggle to understand, wishing you had no memory of the place, because knowing that your loved ones are gone hurts too much, like a physical pain in your heart.

Gallifrey.

reclaim that word- repeat it in the mirror twice, hone who you are, and hold your head up high. Rebuild your traditions, and exist unapologetically. rebuild your old gods, find your comfort in space and small things on the planet. Do not be afraid of who you are, and do not be afraid to be what you are, but always, always strive to be a good person.

Do not feel ashamed and slink into the darkness to those who laugh and gawk at what you can reclaim, they don't know any better. be unapologetically you.

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.

REBLOG IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A TRANSFEM SAFE SPACE.

We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.

▶️ Watch this reel

Sometimes the person being shit talked is not the person who caused the problem.

Many years of therapy and a few healthy friendships later I am able to remind everyone.

Don't believe everything you see edited on the internet.

As usual, don't harass people simply because of any mental health issue they are going through. This isn't about narcissistic people, only narcissistic abuse. They are absolutely not the same thing.

"Respect all paths please-" How about I teach you the Parable of the Nazi Bar.

It's been a bad day for me, and the entire Nerd Squad is pulling together.

I will probably be looking to distract myself and would love to talk about 'kin memories, especially Gallifreyan stuff.

I've been in communities for this before, but was rather thrown under a bus. I honestly just want friends with similar memories again.

Feel free to DM (but only adults), especially if you're the Doctor kin/Theta. I'm very much in and off sporadically so responses may be random.

[highly-caffeinated-cerulean]

The first one is of a couple of pictures I looked out in getting. I found them at the Dollar General and they look like Gallifrey to me. The second one is me. Finally putting my seal of Rassilon a choker. I don't feel the need to be overly serious about Gallifreyan kin meaning I am basically alien kids so I went with making it a complete mood. TM. I am quite certain the Other would approve, ngl.

[highly-caffeinated-cerulean]

I haven't posted here in a while, so I decided to start with this eddit.

I would have included the two sins, but lense flair wasn't available in the app I used, maybe I will fix that later.

Most of my memories of Gallifrey are positive, people I interacted with as Gallifreyan being mostly kind, although structure was quite important to most.

My memories and the various cannons I was in all had looms and the Great Houses were all quite impressive (idk at all why the Doctor's family was shown as being Drylanders in the show, but I can see why they got along).

I have memories similar to an ex friend and an ex who I no longer speak too, I will talk about it if asked but not much. I am simply trying to exist as Gallifreyan kin and healing from the damage is done in my therapy sessions.

In any case, I will try to be around more often. It seems fitting to begin to reclaim this aspect of my identity during Pride, after all one of my nick names for Gallifrey this life is "the massive orange fruit in the sky".

Be well and I will endeavor to be about.

alteraffectis or nonhuman attraction

a tertiary attraction umbrella term that human souls simply arent supposed feel, or cant be explained within human terms, coined with alterbeings/alterhumans in mind (I count pet regressors and otherlinks as alterbeings) but I cant police who's using it or not

examples of this could be but isnt limited to:

the way a guardian angel feels about the person/people theyre protecting

the way a patron deity feels about the people theyre a patron to

the way a dog feels about their owner(s)

the feelings a cat has towards their bonded partner(s)

and so much more!!
