I went on a lighthouse quest!!!

I’ve set myself the challenge of seeing all the lighthouses in England. I started out strong yesterday, seeing 6 and a half lighthouses along the Wirral. 

I have some more aesthetic pictures of some of these, which I might share later in the week, but I am super tired now and have got to be up early in the morning. Hope you all enjoy!

Black Rock Lighthouse

Last night I travelled to New Brighton with members of Deeside Photographic Society. If you’re on Facebook you can see some members photographs in the gallery by following the link above. Black Rock Lighthouse is a decommissioned lighthouse situated at the confluence of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay on an outcrop off New Brighton known locally as Perch Rock. It was built in 1827 and is 90…

Horror of Fang Rock (A Doctor Who slasher flick) part 1

[All images are owned by the BBC. Please don’t sue or EXTERMINATE! me]

[A quick note: Tumblr has been having fits with my review of this episode. First it deleted the review the day it was to be released, then when I came close to finishing it refused to save my progress. I’ve come to the conclusion that my review was too long/large, so I’m breaking it up into two parts]

As I have mentioned previously, Tom Baker’s tenure as the Doctor was mired with controversy from parents’ groups due to the number of supporting cast who seemed to die during the course of an episode. So I thought I would explore these complaints with a random episode.

A note on the timeline...

The episode is one of the fourth Doctor’s adventures. This version of the Doctor is a lot more comic relief than his first and third incarnations (though far less “bumbling” than his second)

The Doctor’s companion during this time is Leela, a warrior from the primitive Sevateem tribe. Though her knowledge is limited and her demeanor savage (she is prone to violence when stressed or annoyed), she is actually quite  intelligent, showing at least a hint of understanding when the Doctor starts spouting timey-wimer technobabble that would go over an expert’s head.

Now, on with the episode (that one review compared to a slasher film). If you would like to watch the episode, it’s in four parts (as is the norm in classic Who) and can be found on BritBox. However, I don’t have a subscription so I had to go to dailymotion. Click here for part 1.

We open on a lighthouse on a small island known as Fang Rock, where the youngest member of the three-man crew (Vince) spies something falling into the water.

The oldest member (Reuben) and the lighthouse’s engineer (Ben) dismiss it, saying it was a shooting star or meteorite.

However, whatever it was had an occupant, and (thanks to some out-of-focus camera tricks and bad special effects) we get a creature’s eye view of it approaching Fang Rock.

Downstairs in the lighthouse’s galley, Ben and Reuben continue a long-standing argument between lighthouses using oil-burning lamps as opposed to them new-fangled electric lamps powered by a boiler heated with coal (such as the one on Fang Rock) when Vince calls down that a sudden fog is rolling in...and the temperature drops considerably.

As Vince goes to blow the foghorn, Reuben and Ben continue their argument from earlier, with Ben preaching the reliability of electricity. And right on cue...

...the lamp stops working.

And that ominous scene is a straight line if ever I heard one as...

...a poorly-made model of the TARDIS appears.

The Doctor and Leela (dressed in an outfit better suited for the period than her animal skins) emerge, but they were expecting to appear in Brighton, not Fang Rock. Leela suggests going back in and trying again, but the Doctor wants to head up to the lighthouse for directions.

Inside the lighthouse, Ben is on the ground level fiddling with the boiler to figure out what went wrong when all of a sudden the lights come back on again. As Ben heads back up, the door to the outside opens and something glowing green and making a weird audio effect enters (though we can’t see what it is)

As the Doctor and Leela make their way to the lighthouse, Leela feels something amiss. You don’t say?

Meanwhile, the lights have gone out again, so Ben heads down to give the boiler another look when...

...the cameraman does that weird out-of focus shot again (with some bad special effects involved) as Ben lets out a scream and dies.

Up in the lamp room, Reuben thinks the fog is unnatural (YA THINK?!) and sends Vince down to check on Ben.

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Leela have entered the boiler room as Vince comes down. The Doctor explains they got lost in the fog. Vince takes them up to the galley to wait out the fog. The Doctor helps himself to the nearby clothing.

Sorry Doctor, but bowler hats are not cool...

...no matter what your future self says.

Vince catches the Doctor up on what the audience already knows. The Doctor says he didn’t see Ben in the boiler room, and offers to look for him. When the Doctor leaves Leela asks for dry clothes...

...and the episode almost needs a TV-M rating (since the Sevateem aren’t big on modesty)! Vince stops Leela from stripping and leaves to find an outfit for her.

Downstairs, the lights have come on again...

...and the Doctor finds Ben. By the looks of it, he’s been electrocuted.

Vince and Leela (in an outfit that MUCH better suits her than that dress) come down at that point. The Doctor tells Vince the bad news and sends him back up to tell Reuben as he shares his theory with Leela that the generator didn’t kill Ben, though he isn’t quite sure what did...

...though it’s powerful enough to crush a lantern.

The Doctor and Leela head up the galley, where they meet Reuben. Reuben isn’t keen on coincidences and all but accuses them of murdering Ben. He then heads down to cover Ben until the authorities can be contacted in the morning. Meanwhile the Doctor head up to the lamp room...

...and Leela goes out to hunt down whatever killed Ben (in the fog...against something that can electrocute a human and crush a lantern...great plan, Leela!) She fumbles around for a while until she finds a bunch of dead fish. She then realizes she might be over her head and returns.

Back at the lighthouse, Reuben has relieved Vince so he can get something to eat. However, Vince hears a weird audio effect and heads to the boiler room to investigate only to discover Ben’s body missing! Vince calls up in hysterics to Reuben, but Reuben has problems of his own as...

...a ship is moving at a speed that is pure insanity in the fog toward the island! Reuben calls Vince up, who blows the foghorn for all he’s worth...

...but it’s too late and the ship hits the rocks, ending the episode!

Who survived the crash and why were they being so reckless? You’ll have to see part 2, which can be found here.

Vince, Reuben, and the Doctor head down to assist the survivors, leaving Leela to man the foghorn in case there are any other idiots piloting their boats in the fog. As the Doctor grabs a rope in the boiler room...

...a bad special effect appears over his head, but disappears once he lifts his head.

Up in the lamp room, Leela looks thrilled (THRILLED, I tell you!) to be manning the foghorn. Then the lights go on again (down below, the Doctor deduces whatever is out there needs electricity) Leela steps out onto the widow’s walk (the walkway around the lamp room) and sees...

...what appears to be a giant glowing green jellyfish slithering along the rocks.

Up in the galley, the rescue party returns with the surviving passengers (the one surviving crewman, Harker, is securing what’s left of the boat)...

(Right to left is Lord Palmerdale (the idiot responsible for ordering the ship to travel so recklessly), Colonel Skinsale, and Palmerdale’s secretary Adelaide Lesage)

Palmerdale and Adelaide act like typical entitled gits toward Vince (though Vince is too busy being a gentleman to Adelaide to notice)

Up in the lamp room, Leela tells the Doctor what she saw. Reuben starts talking about a local legend known as the Beast of Fang Rock returning. The Doctor ignores Reuben and takes Leela down to the galley, where he congratulates Palmerdale for killing most of the crew just because he needed to be in London by morning (to capitalize on some insider trading info he weaseled from Skinsale, who would be ruined once it was used)

In the boiler room, Leela hears something approaching the door. Thinking it’s the jellyfish, Leela decides to go on the offensive...

...and nearly brains Harker, who found what was left of Ben’s body. Leela thinks it might be Reuben’s Beast, but the Doctor says “the Beast” is merely superstition. What happened to Ben’s body was a dissection to study it.

Up in the galley, Palmerdale tries to order Harker to take the ship out to make for the mainland (that must’ve been some tip!), but Harker refuses due to the fog. Besides, wouldn’t the ship have a few holes to patch up first?

Outside, Leela has taken the Doctor to where she saw the jellyfish. The Doctor notes a residual electric field in the area, which could kill someone on contact. He admits to Leela he still isn’t sure what they’re dealing with yet (well, that’s reassuring. Then again, even given the dozens of races the Doctor has encountered in four lifetimes, there are plenty of lifeforms he has never encountered) I’m sure he’ll figure it out...eventually...maybe...

Up in the galley, Palmerdale tries to convince Harker to send a message to his broker (since he can’t get to London) via the lighthouse’s wireless telegraph.

Then Harker remembers who was responsible for the deaths of his shipmates! Fortunately for Palmerdale, Skinsale wakes up and breaks it up. Then the Doctor comes in and announces that they’re all in mortal danger.

I’m sure that grin helped soften the blow, Doctor.

Up in the lamp room, Reuben heads down to feed the boiler...

...as a bad special effect the jellyfish stalks the lighthouse.

In the galley, Palmerdale is scoffing at the Doctor’s announcement, then Reuben comes in talking about the Beast as he continues downward, to which Palmerdale continues his tirade...

...until Leela shuts him up.

Then the lights dim a blood-curdling scream is heard as part 2 ends.

Given everyone in the galley is accounted for, that leaves the lighthouse crew the only ones it could’ve been...or the jellyfish. To find out, tune in next time for the exciting conclusion!

Weekend road trip recap! Last weekend I went on my first road trip down to the south coast! I spent Saturday driving and hiking the Seven Sisters cliffs with @haiphong08 and her flatmate! The trip was this 🤏🏻 close to not happening, but we made it work, LOL. Logistics are a nightmare. Still, the amazing views more than made up for it! And the coastal breeze and escape from the city were the perfect tonic to the heatwave 🌅. I still sweated like a pig, tho (picture 2 to see me all hot and bothered 🥵). That evening, I drove on to my aunt's house in Hastings (like Brighton, but slept on) and on Sunday, we explored other cute little towns and beaches on the south coast! Coming from London, it's almost like the place that time forgot, but in all the best ways, haha. I even went into a fully functioning inn that has been operating since the 1300s! I'm trying out a little bit of a new workflow with these photos. I left my DSLR in Deutschland to focus on film photography for the summer... But film is expensive 😅! So I also shot all of these on my phone, which has basically taken over from my DSLR anyway, TBH. I also edited all of them in the super basic Google Photos app because I didn't want the edits to be too technical or extreme! I think it worked out pretty well 😁. I certainly wouldn't be posting this many photos just 3 days later if I gave them a full workup on my desktop 😅. All the views are so beautiful, and capture a slice of coastal life amid this ephemeral heatwave ☀️. The golden grass compliments the crystal blue skies so well, but I couldn't help but feel a bit sad about walking through such a desiccated, dying landscape. Our environment is hurting 🏖️ 🏖️ 🏖️ 🏖️ 🏖️ #Pixel6Pro #ShotOnPixel #CoastalViews #YesFilter #Edited #GooglePhotos #Sussex #EastSussex #Beach #RoadTrip #Holiday #Summer #Heatwave #SliceOfLife #Seagulls #Weekend #Adventure #BlueSky #BlauerHimmel #Lighthouse #Cliffs #Hike #NaturalEngland #Historic #Plandid #Sea #Rye #EnglishCountryside #SevenSisters #EnvironmentalConcerns (hier: Seven Sisters Cliffs) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXpMa0Nz1M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I blame Tumblr, I'm sorry. I SWEAR MY REPLY ISN'T AS SHORT AS THE ONE YOU RECEIVED. AS IF I WOULD PUT THAT LESS OF AN EFFORT FOR YOU <33

Hello my dearest Vy, treasure of my heart, have you missed me? I hope so cause I sure as hell missed you :D I am finally here. I went through hell and back but I am finally on prep leave. Bless the pandemic for extending my prep leave for up to 3 weeks! I'm going to get so much done as well as actually have time to take care of myself so if there's anything about this pandemic to be grateful for, it's this.

Anyway, I am so so so sorry for this extremely late reply. I don't think I need to repeat the reason as to why by now. But don't worry, all is well.

I hope you've been well these past week or so? I hope you've been well. I do hope your job is going well too :)

Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions, I enjoyed reading them so much! Now here are my answers to yours..

I'm a Taurus!!

My favourite month has to be January, I just love the cold weather and of course, the New Year's festivities.

Basically any fandom related to Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse books. I just love everything about that fictional universe, makes me feel at home.

If my bestfriend counts, then surely her. She's an angel, I can't imagine how messed up I'd be if it wasn't for her.

Water, food and wifi. Kidding, aside from basic essentials to stay alive, I suppose my dog, bestfriends and this one energy drink I'm addicted to.

I have 3 dogs so…But but but, I adore cats as well. In fact, I've been told a lot that I seem much more like a cat person. So perhaps both for me too :')

I don't play much video games so I can't say I have a favourite. However, I loved Mario as a child!

This is a hard one, I'm a big shipper!! But maybe Kanej (Kaz x Inej) and Wesper (Wylan x Jesper), again from Six of Crows.. (Please don't blame me, I'm just obssessed with this series.)

Either my rings or my books, it's a tough decision. This is rather far off but I'd love to have my very own cozy little library-cafe someday..just a wish :')

Thank you so much for your questions, they did help a lot and took my mind off my schedule!

Now it's been a while so I can't remember much of the questions I made for you but here are a few that stuck around

If you could visit any place in the world, which 3 places would you go to first?

One musical piece you can never get tired of?

Do you play any instruments??

What's your favourite musical instrument?

If you have the time, describe what your life would look like in your dream universe :) (really get that creative mind of yours to stir up your deepest desires)

Out of everything that you have written for streamers, which 3 are your favourites?

Again, feel free to ignore any of the questions and I hope you enjoy answering them :)

Loads of love, ~🌹

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions sweetie I'm so glad you had fun answering them! And thank you for the new batch of questions dear, here are my answers:

I'd definitely visit Barcelona, Spain; Brighton, England and Cancún, Mexico

Since the term 'musical piece' gives me a lot of freedom here's three things music related that I could never get bored of: 1. Any Lana Del Rey album/song; 2. Lo-fi; 3. The musical Heathers 🤭

Nope unfortunately I don't. I tried learning the piano but never got the hang of it

It's spot shared by acoustic guitar and piano

Oooh ok so buckle up! 😉 I'd love to live by the beach in a house I'd share with no one but my pets. Yes, plural. I'd like to live that lonely writer lifestyle. Now that I think about it, I'd love to live in a lighthouse honestly. Outlandish? Maybe. But man is it a dream of mine. I'd live like an old fisherman and have the time of my life 🤭 However I'd also not be opposed to a night out with friends in a town that'd be near the lighthouse. I'd still like to have some of that partying I've always dreamt of sprinkled into the quiet haven mentioned above. But all in all, I'm a rather simple person ay 😊

Ooooh ok so for Corpse I'd say it's the two parter fic consisting of 'Champagne Problems' and 'Exile'; for Dave (not a streamer but he is a content creator so he'll be my cheat code) it would be the fic 'Fated Miracles' and last but certainly not least: my fic 'Sweetheart' for Sykkuno

Here are a few more questions I've got for you since last time. Again, no need to answer any or all if you don't want to/feel uncomfortable about them 🤗

What's your favorite mythological creature?

If you're a horror fan, what's your favorite scary movie? If not what's your favorite movie in general?

Favorite music genre?

Favorite pieces of fanfiction?

~ XOXO, Vy 💌
