XANDER: I'm exhausted just looking at those two. All the splashing and jumping and running... Shouldn't relaxing involve less exertion?
ANYA: Absolutely. Exertion can lead to sweatiness.
TARA: Which can cause the pain and heartbreak of stinkiness. Better to just stay put.
WILLOW: I think we've just put our finger on why we're the sidekicks.

30 Day Photo Challenge by @willowspiderrock
Day 6 - Playing in Water
One picture is actually something I took that was meant to be nice. The rest is utter shenanigans, but I just so happened to realize my next day in the photo challenge was playing in water, and since this all literally just transpired today, I couldn’t miss the opportunity.
So, up top, is me and my newest boy, Apollo. Doing the Horse Market quests has always been dangerous for me because it usually includes some light browsing, and this guy was on the first slide, and I thought he was cute even before the starters got their final glow up, and he still is. So. Oops? And I unlocked my first special fishing mission of catching the golden roach, so tadaaa.
Then, I was on with @sso-silverwillow / @willownorthbook and we saw the pony champ was coming up, so we both ran to get our ponies, finished 1st and 2nd like an utter power couple would do, and then headed to the beach originally to take a cute picture of our ponies with their ribbons.
But then we realized that the beach chairs and umbrellas had been updated, so we lounged in them for a bit, and then I proceeded to cannonball my ball of fur and chunk off the diving board into the water, and Amber decided to see if she could recreate her new favorite hiding method in the Fort Pinta Beach ocean area. She succeeded, I joined. A certain mysterious figure appeared and joined in our shenanigans, but I won’t name them outta respect for the International Statue of Secrecy.
And then we realized the shark was there, so I swam out to take a picture of his dumb, ridiculous, oversided face. Then we figured out he could eat you? So, naturally, what did I do?
Flung me and my pony directly into his path. I was immediately trailered back to my home stable because he had eaten me and Storm. I felt bad for a moment, gave Storm a pet to make up for not having him out for a few weeks and then flinging him into this shit, and then continued to think it was utterly fucking hilarious.
It was a great success.

fate, freely chosen
The excess artron energy floods through his veins as the bright light of regeneration begins to fade. It’s boiling his blood from the inside out, and the Doctor stumbles at the feeling of it. Still cooking, he thinks, though this stifling emptiness in his mind is probably rather permanent. The idea of it… of being the last of the Time Lords… It has him in a chokehold, threatening to suffocate him if he isn’t careful. And this body is oh so reckless, he can already tell.
There’s no one left.
No, that’s not quite true.
The Doctor looks up at his Tardis, his everfaithful companion, and winces. The round things don’t quite suit him, anymore. They’re too… bright, too clinical. He feels far too unclean for them now. Too much blood on his hands.
“Think you could do something a little bit more grunge this time?” the Doctor asks, his voice quiet. The Tardis makes a trilling sound before the console room flickers and sparks, and then there she is, her coral soul bared to him. Something in his chest loosens at the sight of it
The Doctor gives the console a quick pat in thanks before he closes his eyes and exhales a deep sigh. He is so, so tired.
“Y’know, her grunge phase is my favorite,��� a voice whispers cheekily just beside his ear.
The Doctor jerks in surprise, not expecting company aboard his ship. Especially given where he’s just come from. He scans the intruder carefully, taking in her knotted curls and ripped green leggings. She looks rather strange and not a little bit ragged. How did she get aboard?
“Who are you? How did you get on board my Tardis?” The Doctor demands gruffly. It strikes him then that he sounds northern this go round (north of where? He isn’t sure). He kind of likes it.
“You’ve forgotten me already, have you, Doctor?” The girl frowns. “And after our little adventure, too. Or has that not happened yet? Tenses are so difficult.”
“Never seen you before in my life,” the Doctor replies with derision. Who was she to sneak aboard his Tardis and taunt him? The guilt of ending the Time War gnaws steadily at him, and all he wants is to be able to grieve all he’s lost in peace. “Now, get off my ship!”
