[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

Alex really said: In my first season of Dimension 20, I played the tiniest little boy who was the physical embodiment of a man’s conscience. What would be a good character to choose for my second season? Ah yes. An absolute unit of a mob boss. The logical next step.

Joe Hills might be a comedic genius. The "Doc is a giant baby" defense?
Brilliant
Showstopping
Actually a surprisingly strong argument
Alas, Doc getting sentenced to sky jail is the funniest possible conclusion and therefore they stood no chance.

We do NOT give Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith their props for their character growth in the Parting of the Ways. Rose is absolutely amazing, an absolute ferocious beacon of hope and stubbornness and bravery in the finale, the absolute reason why the Doctor lives and the world is saved and an equal hero to Nine, but she has a moment of doubt. A moment of hesitancy.
And Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler step in and help her save the day. Both Mickey and Jackie give up on their idea of Rose and their hatred of the Doctor and help her pull open the TARDIS. Even within this one episode we see them struggle with their feelings and decide to put them aside and help do this because Rose is right- this is a better way of living your life.
Doctor Who is about ordinary people making extraordinary decisions and making themselves extraordinary and this doesn't just apply to official companions (who I love with all my might)- it applies to the people they love, too. We see it over and over again in Davies' era, with Jackie and Mickey and Sylvia and Tish and Wilfred and Francine and Harriet Jones and every one-off character as well, from Lynda-with-a-Y to Jabe to Gwyneth to Novice Hame to McDonnell to Sally to Chantho to Nancy to all the rest.
Doctor Who is at its strongest when the story is focused on the strength of the bleeding, beating heart of humanity (and character in general, in its non-humans), when the characters drive the story, when at the end of the day you understand why, for all of the world's flaws, the Doctor comes back over and over again because of people like this- not just his companions, but the Jackies and Mickeys and all the rest of the world.

who needs religion when you can just listen to First Light by Hozier and ascend to the highest level of the universe every single time you hear the most incredible chorus swell ever written

i love thinking about percy and sally being each other's best friends before gabe and the other bullshit. like you can't convince me they didn't cuddle on the couch and watch movies. or ate cupcakes at ten o'clock on a friday night. or sang their heart out to disney movies at nine in the morning. like, they were each other's person.

Fic art for Asphodel by @thornsword (I am unsure if this is the same person as the ao3 account...we'll find out!)
I would also pick up a smoking habit (again) if I lived through Jon's day (again. and again and again and again)

Kevin makes a pride month post but he's so insistent that he's an ALLY that people get suspicious
Half of them are suspicious that he’s a little fruity and the other half of them are just suspicious that he’s homophobic. Here’s some ridiculous tweets that you inspired

I want to see how simon’s friends back in ooo are responding to the fact that he went missing. I like to imagine that at least either finn or marceline came to check up on him since finn’s the only person he’s opened up to, and marceline is the last person he SPOKE to before disappearing off the face of the earth without warning.
So while they’re freaking out bc their friend who was last seen having a mental health crisis has gone missing, simon’s out there getting flirted at by himself while his old oc’s tag along and dunk on him constantly.

Nico knew exactly what Percy went through in HoH, how Tartarus pushes you to be your absolute worst just to survive, and just how badly it would affect him.
After all, Percy is one stubborn kid that would absolutely beat himself up over what he did to that goddess, having no compassion towards himself.
And you cannot possibly convince me that if things had gone just a little bit differently, Nico wouldn't have had the opportunity and compassion of stopping the nonesense, and Percy would have actually listened, for once.
It was supposed to be done for day 2 of @percico-nicercy-events : Powerful Percy and Nico.
Forgot to say: The Shadow is actually a Jungian concept, and I though that out of everyone in PJO, Nico would easily be the one most in touch with that side of himself!
