I recently read a story with one of those other doppelgängers. https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+98291

More about the premise of the story below the cut

The Mickey doppelgänger in this story is a spy who Mickey gets mistaken for, with eventually him having to pretend to be them. They look basically identical so the mistaken identity makes a lot of sense

You know i get why people would think Miklos is some sort of evil clone or counterpart of Mickey when they first learn of him since the evil doppelgangers are normally from a mirror dimension, and normal evil doppelganger are pretty rare these days. But Miklos is just normal evil doppelganger, he had life before Mickey as a quick-change artist. He was going to retire after killing Mickey... He not a clone, he not au version. He just a dude who so happen to look like Mickey. Which way more common than you think... I swear should put doppelganger that isn't Miklos, a clone or from an au on the trope bingo.

So many things are funny about this, but among them Alias: Chicken and girl, why are you from a city called The City. Or did you just never specify?

I love the island of Sulawesi because very coincidentally it is almost exactly pronounced and written similar to the Finnish compound word “sulavesi” which means unfrozen water or meltwater. Every time I hear or read Sulawesi I’m like “yeah, exactly! That’s right! I bet they have unfrozen water there :)”

Russel T Davies must really hate the time lords. And I mean really HATE them. Really, really hate them.

When he writes his first run in 2005 what does he do? He kills them off. Fair enough, that was used for some plot, and was a choice of a direction to take the show in. It's possible to kill them off like that without hating them. But that is in my opinion recontextualized into much more vindictive light by Reality War.

Coming into RTD's second go at it he inherits the time lords dead again. Gallifrey destroyed by master, and then even the biological parts of the corpses of the time lords destroyed by the death particle. However it's completely logical to assume there would be survivors. The Master killed and destroyed Gallifrey yes but that doesn't mean the time lords need to be entirely gone.

So what does RTD do? Since he clearly dislikes the time lords he could just ignore them. Tell stories about something else. But no. Apparently he cannot. He goes out of his way to make the time lords even deader. He declares that the Master apparently not just killed the time lords, he killed every time lord no matter where they were in time or space, and instanteneously too. The Rani only barely survived because she foresaw it. And since the species apparently was not dead enough already for the Master's tastes (or RTD's), any time lord who manages to miraculously survive the instant omnipresent wave of instant death™ is also sterilized to ensure no new time lords can be born that way either. And no this isn't even used to canonize looms. Since this is a new thing caused by the Master they were fertile before and only became infertile now. Well that's all right, you can just fix this with looms or something else, there's plenty of established methods for asexual reproduction both in the show and in real life. But no! Apparently the best and only way to at all have a chance of possibly creating more time lords is to clone Omega. Well that's all right then let's just pop on over and get a dna sample. But no! Apparently Omega has been character assasinated into a giant CGI monster skeleton who just wants to eat the time lords, so not only is it extremely difficult to get a sample from him, but it is possible the clone, if it is possible to make one, would just be another CGI monster.

This isn't just beating a dead horse to make it even deader. This isn't even pouring gazoline on the still smouldering corpses of the time lords. This is pouring napalm on them, lighting them on fire again in addition to the napalm just to be safe, throwing the ashes into an incinerator, throwing the incinerator and the ashes of ashes inside to a star to plasmise them so that the atoms get even further broken into pieces, then making the star go supernova and trapping the atoms in the resulting black hole, and then erasing the black hole and everything within it from existence retrocausally.

Russel T Davies seems to simply hate time lords so much that it isn't enough for them to be dead. He wants them to be even more dead so that there is even less of a chance of even a single one surviving, and making any potential resurrection of the time lords require even larger efforts to make it even theoretically happen.

PS. Oh and also apparently it's also necessary to kill all the tardises too in an offhanded remark by the Doctor. Nevermind that this is actively contradicted by both Chibnall's run and RTD2. The Doctor's tardis is factually not the only tardis in existence. 13 escaped from Gallifrey on a tardis that was left standing somewhere in Timeless Children. The Master still had his tardis. 15 duplicated his tardis in Giggle. The Master clearly didn't kill all the tardises when he did the time lords since there were entire rows of them on Gallifrey for 13 to take in Timeless Children. Are we to understand that Master enjoyed doing off-screen genocide so much he wanted to do another immediately after? And thought killing all tardises other than the Doctor's, including his own, was the best option? Or that some other nebulous entity did that off-screen, because doing that to the time lords was apparently such a brilliant idea?

yes, a lot of doctor who characters have multiple seperate deaths and timelines and backstories. yes, they all happened! canon and continuity are propaganda terms intended to dampen our creative spirit

120th birthday is also a particularly significantly numbered one

Remembering Floyd Gottfredson on his birthday.

[lugalkisarra-urnammu]

one thing that pisses me off greatly is the (schorlaly) misunderstanding of éowyn. i've read too many papers mentionning that éowyn was weak and that tolkien didn't write strong women and?? i'm so confused. éowyn is one of the strongest characters. she killed the witch-king and once she accomplished her goal (to gain valour in battle) she chose a peaceful life because there was no need to fight anymore. this is the opposite to weakness. she chose peace over violence?? weak people are the ones who choose violence over peace

[lugalkisarra-urnammu]

tech bro (type of koopa that throws computers at you)

[lugalkisarra-urnammu]

I was inspired to do this after noticing Floyd Gottfredson fits the scansion of Mrs. Robinson perfectly

Happy 120th birthday to Floyd Gottfredson!

And here's to you Floyd Gottfredson

Mickey loves you more than you'll ever know

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Dante bless you, Floyd Gottfredson

Cocytus holds a place for those who draw

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

It's a fun story, even if few of the characters are basically just there for a cameo. Reading it and being pleasantly surprised was actually one of the inspirations behind me deciding to watch the show

*bend down in two knees and ask to the Duckblr gods*

Pleaseeeee does someone have this...? Like... in pdf, cbr or something?

Unstoppable force-carrying particles can't interact with immovable matter by definition.

Unstoppable Force and Immoveable Object [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[An arrow pointing to a trapezoid. The arrow is labelled "unstoppable force" and the trapezoid "immoveable object".]

[The arrow is transposed on top of the trapezoid with the overlapped area lightened to indicate the arrow is passing through the trapezoid.]

[The arrow is now on the other side of the trapezoid.]

[Caption:] I don't see why people find this scenario to be tricky.
