#hello previously posted timestamp

[phantomram-b00]

Okay so I’m joining solitary of the strike curtesy to Bisan from 21st to 28th for Palestine as they are actively in need of our help, i advice all to do the same. But I see an alerting thing that I need to address rn. To spread awareness and to make sure my mutuals/followers don’t fall victim into this.

So there even donation scams going around this app, such as:

I’ve saw two more of these, one of me was posing as a Palestinian Mother with two kids whilst the other claimed to need money for their lungs. Now I wish I had these screenshots to prove my claims but at the time I wasn’t sure if I was going crazy or was the only one having this gut feeling. But today, I realize this has been an alarming thing. This just happen to me, and I’m finding out, this is how they’ll get you:

Typically, they’re use your AMA to ask for donation, whether it on their animal, children, etc that require their donation usually by PayPal. Another is that, they’ll randomly follow you and immediately use the AMA to try to get you to either donate to them or signal boost their donation. Usually their story will be a copy paste as it more than just one. This situation is truly worse than p*rnbots. And frankly it absolutely disgusting.

If you want more proof other than the proof I just showed above, go search on Donation Scam and you’ll see many of these scammers. Here are one I can provide as there more than one incident where this happen:

Now to try to prevent this from happening I will link also a blog that goes in depth on how to prevent something like this from happen to you ghost pals or your mutuals or followers so they don’t fall victim into this:

What can I tell you, my mutuals and followers is that, please report them and block them is this does happen to you.

“But what if they’re being truthful”

I wish I can tell you, but the sad truth, it can be tricky because it the internet, as much as it a place to connect, it can also be a place to deceive you. So the best advice as I can tell you is be on your P’s and Q’s. Because years ago I was scammed and hacked for trusting a source I thought was factual. So I don’t want that to happen to you Ghostly Pals. And for my mutuals/friends, please be careful. 🩶 but I do have an advice, save their photo and run it by a photo finder I personally use TinEye and see if the image have been posted anyway, but if you have another you prefer even better:

Originally I was gonna make a post about boundary regarding the AMA but now that I see this have been a new scam running rampant on tumblr, I can’t keep my mouth shut about this and I need to let this be known. But I will still say, please only use my AMA for asking questions or telling me things whether it’s Good omens related or whatever. Please don’t use it to ask for donations like what these scammers are doing. I hope this doesn’t make me sound like an asshole but I just want to be safe. Until then please spread this around, make this known. Please.

I will like to thank the people whom I’ve linked as if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have known that this was an ongoing problem so I advice you look at the links and listen to them as your speading awareness.

ʚϊɞ gn!reader, sfw, fluff, happy bucky

The sun is turning orange but the sky still holds its light blue hue. Bucky walks up the driveway, heading towards your house, and the gravel crunches under his boots with each step but all he can focus on is the faint sound of music coming from the home. For him to hear it out here, you must have had the volume turned up to the max—very on par for you, he’s come to find. 

His long legs take him up the few steps that lead to your front porch, and he can see two stocky bodies barreling towards the screen door. The two plump pit bulls sit and stare, tails wagging so aggressively they shake their entire torso’s, and he shifts the bags he’s holding to his left hand so he can grasp the handle. He laughs loudly as the door is pushed open before he could even make the move, and his legs are attacked by sniffs and kisses. 

“Hi babies,” he greets, looking down at the animals with a love that he’s thankful for everyday. The music is louder now that the door is open and he doubts you can even hear that he’s come home, and when he lets it fall shut behind him and the pits the sound is hidden in the guitar strums and twangy voices filling the space. 

The trio make their way to the source of the sound, the kitchen—where you stand before the small island in the middle of the room, hands working diligently and hips swaying to the beat of the song. He leans against the door frame, shoulder resting easily against the painted wood as he watches you chop the vegetables and sing along. Your voice blends with the original artist’s and his heart swoons. 

You place the knife down and spin around, and your eyes land on the man standing in your kitchen. A smile stretches across your face as the warm glow filtering through the windows lights him up, and he returns the greeting. “Did you grab the things I asked for?” You ask, voice loud enough to be heard over the noise. He only nods, pushing off the door frame and entering the room at last, holding out the grocery bags to you. 

A thankful look takes over as you take them from him, placing a kiss on his cheek and turning to place them on the counter. “Thank you, sir!” You shout over your shoulder, pulling the requested contents out. You throw a look at him and your eyes land on the two dogs at his feet, staring up at him with adoration and loyalty. “And I see my trusty protectors greeted you at the door,” you giggle. 

He nods once again and leans down to pet their large heads before moving closer to you, his presence familiar and comfortable. “They even opened the door for me, ever the polite little meatheads,” he leans against the farm sink as you lay everything out to prepare dinner for the night, and you throw your head back in a bout of laughter before you step away from the counter all together. Sunbeams dance across your body as you twist and spin and sway in the middle of the kitchen. 

“Do you want me to play that one song you said you liked?” 

Bucky doesn’t know a lot of your music, you say it's older than you but younger than him, but he listens anyways because the way your spirit shines through whenever music hits your ears makes him picture a future he would have never thought himself worthy of. And when you turn away from him to put on the one song he’d made an offhand comment about before he can even answer, his heart swells in his chest and that future seems just a bit brighter. 

He pushes himself off of the edge of the sink and heads for you, and he catches you right as you spin around. You laugh and he joins you, and then he dances with you. He spins and dips you, he sways to the steady beat and he smiles.

Hello! I’m so sorry for bothering you but I remember in some of your posts when your were talking about the Arcane visual novel you mentioned that there was a sweet silco and jinx moment about him being concerned for her health or something. I can’t find it for the life of me. Would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction so I can find it or share a screen shot? Also, if you have any extra thoughts on it I would love for you to share a little? It’s completely up to you. Thank you for your time!

hey there! never apologize for sending me asks, I love them!!! sorry for the late reply.. it has been a bit of an anxiety week for me >.<

yes!! so there was a web browser game that was a self insert. I have seen it being labeled as “Into the Arcane”, “Browser Game”, “Arcane X Riot”, “Visual Novel” and any combination of those things lol. Its inaccessible now as it was only able to be played for a limited time.. i think maybe a week or two? Essentially, you as the player were pulled through an arcane magic portal and you are running around trying to help Jayce, Viktor, and Heimerdinger fix the portals and restore balance and order.

in your investigation you identify Jinx as being the culprit to the troubles and chase her down. Now the dialogue changes depending on the answers you choose and i struggled to find anyone who had screenshots or video of the responses i chose but here is an example. I pulled the screenshots below from this video. The link is queued up at the timestamp when this closing scene begins: https://youtu.be/MJ7NGz6UYH8?t=511

and just for shits and giggles here is a different persons video of it where they choose slightly different options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OufrkTPuhJM

So this is the normal preset. Everyone gets this part. Basically you enter the environment and walk up on them arguing. Silco is aware of the magic because you had previously gone to him with suspicion so its assumed here that he is scolding Jinx after connecting the dots from the information you shared with him during your accusations. Basically Silco is insisting that this power isnt worth it and that Jinxs life is at risk if she doesnt give it up because the magic is unstable and is slowly tearing her apart.

Silco tries reassuring her and cut through her self doubt and its basically another iteration of the ‘you’re perfect’ line. Jinx is sassy and argues back, you get to choose a path on how you respond to Jinx’s sass and that will start up the ending.

You then get to make a choice again on how you will combat Jinx trying to use the magic. This will effect the outcome of how the story dialogue plays

Silco insists you leave Jinx alone, concerned about her safety

And the ending is kinda odd.. Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Viktor all offer commentary after this last screenshot and Viktor says “Whoever She was, remember that Jinx was once a person” which is really wierd and makes it sound like she is dead. Then after that they just sorta pat you on the back and say “welp, lets get you home!” but when the auto prompts are all done you see Jinx and Silco hanging out next to each other and if you click on Silco to prompt dialogue he basically tells you to fuck off

So my thoughts on this are that, while this is not a canon storyline, it is still an official piece of AU content from RIOT and to me, that means that the scenery and the character behaviors are still reliable insights into the world of Arcane from the show.

There is also a video floating around that i saw on twitter posted by the official Arcane account called “Arcane Script to Screen: Act 3″ https://twitter.com/i/status/1464292879807827969

Looking at the script to screen and the interactions in the browser game/visual novel thing its totally clear to me and irrefutable that Silco truly did care for Jinx and saw her as his family. He truly prioritized her well-being above his ambitions and dreams. I ALSO would like to point out that this is said in the script

“Coming to grips with the fact that she just killed another father” meaning that, for all you Vander lovers, Jinx DID see Vander as a father AND she sees her relationship with Silco as him being her father. Sorry to ruin it for all the Jilco shippers but yea. FATHER.

And Silco did, per the script, love Jinx:

“Silcos eyes, full of love, glaze over” And some people might be like “well if he cared about her and wanted her safe, why send her to fight people blah blah” but, like, fighting the way she does is relatively normal for Zaun. Violence and murder and crime syndicates and all of that is just... like as simple as walking your dog. So yeah, Silco would have her do shit that put her at risk but i think he only ever tasked her with what he thought she could handle. I think Silcos love for Jinx is incredible, reliable, everlasting. Soo yea >.<  to me it just.. furthers the point that Silco wants Jinx safe and by his side and values her over his Nation of Zaun ambition.

Also definitely watch the script to screen video! Its really interesting because Jinx was not originally written to shoot Silco!! She was originally scripted to have a music box explode and its shrapnel kills Silco. Jinx still has a shooting spree freak out but its at the music box, NOT at Silco. So for those of you who also say “Powders last act was to protect Vi by killing Silco” No. She was just having an episode and attacking whatever made noise that alarmed her. Sorry! I ruin all the things but like... its a thing... o.o And understanding the intent behind character actions helps us understand the characters and that gives us the ability to better write and extrapolate and predict etc soo... its important! Yeah! Woot woot! Look at that. Im like Santa. I give you links, screenshots, AND words o.o lmao

hi! i'm (y/n)

hello, my name is heeseung!

and we're together

we're couples!

[you guys were invited here today as couples for a fun little drinking game, you guys were aware of that right?]

yes

[okay, for this game, questions will be asked and if you refuse to answer, you drink, it's that simple. should we start?]

let's go, i can't wait to drink

so you won't be answering the questions?

i mean, it's free alcohol

*hee shakes his head in disbelief

[how long have you been together?]

we actually just had our 3rd anniversary last week

so 3 years now <33

[how did you two meet?]

pffft- *(y/n) laughs

can we just choose pass

shot!

*hee offers the shot glass to (y/n) and both take a shot, laughing after

we're drinking this early on damn

we met through a mutual friend

i was brought as a wingman

i think you can guess how it went

[but how did you guys become a couple?]

we got closer after meeting and i think it was obvious to the both of us that we were interested in each other

yeah but it still took a lot in me to ask you out

he stuttered the first time he asked me on a date

did i?

*(y/n) laughs at the memory

you went "hey, so uh you wa-"

*hee cuts (y/n) off by squishing their cheeks

we don't need a reminder

*(y/n) swats his hand away

but it was cute, don't worry

*(y/n) pats his head making heeseung smile

[okay, how about we officially start the game now?]

*both nod and played rock paper and scissors to determine who gets to ask first, (y/n) wins

*(y/n) reads the card and chuckles

[was it love at first sight?]

it wasn't

like i said, i was supposed to be a wingman so in my head, they were already off limits

i don't believe in love at first sight so *(y/n) shrugs

[do you have/did you have doubts with us being together?]

goddamn *(y/n) drinks

*heeseung is wide-eyed

no honey, not like that, i will answer, it's just that i need the alcohol boost

*the shock goes away

i was about to shed tears not gonna lie

*(y/n) rolls their eyes

when i agreed to becoming heeseung's significant others, i had no doubts, i knew what i felt was true and i knew his was too. the doubts were mainly on myself?? like "what if he just wakes and he doesn't love me anymore" but everyday heeseung proves to me that that will never happen

*(y/n) smiles at heeseung

*heeseung looks away trying to hide the smile and blush appearing on his face and he takes a shot refusing to meet (y/n)'s eyes

*(y/n) picks up a card and laughs

[if i become a zombie and had to eat people to survive, would you stick by side?]

heeseung gets scared easily i don't think he will

but if it's you...

*(y/n) raises an eyebrow

wait let me think about this more clearly

see! *(y/n) laughs

*heeseung continues to think

omg just say no!

but it's you !!!

i know it's me but baby we both know you'll run the other way once i start to eat people

...... you still love me right?

yes heeseung, i still love you

*hee :D

okay! next question!

*he picks up a card and laughs

oh i like this one.

[would you date any of my friends?]

*(y/n)'s mouth drops in shock

*(y/n) ultimately decides to play with heeseung

i mean.. *(y/n) reaches for a shot

*the grin on his face disappears

yah!

*(y/n) bursts into giggles and takes a shot

yah~ !!

[would YOU date any of my friends?]

*hee's eyes narrows and takes a shot for revenge

*both laugh at their antics

the answer is no guys, i love his friends but they're pretty much like annoying siblings

sorry (y/n)'s friends, (y/n) is the only one for me

but i'm pretty sure someone who used to be in my circle would jump at the chance

really ?? who ??

*(y/n) gives the look

AH! -

*scene cuts as he says a name

moving on.

*(y/n) picks up a card and laughs

[do you wish i offered to pay for more dates?]

MAN I WISH I COULD PAY MORE ON DATES

i like paying for our dates, but arguing with them is hard

yeah there was one time we spent 10 minutes bickering about who will pay, so we just made an agreement

we take turns per month, like for this month i'm the one paying for all the dates, then on the next month (y/n) will be paying

but everytime it's his month, he always tries to go out a lot, and when it's my month he opts to stay in

hehe

hEHE ??

*heeseung picks up a card and reads the question intently

*he is in deep thought

what is it?

[will you agree to an open relationship?]

ohhh

open relationship is when it's okay if you see other people right?

yup and i don't think i'd agree to it. you?

me as well

sorry im selfish, heeseung is mine, i do not share ;)

*heeseung laughs

yeah, sorry it's not for me, i don't think i can stomach seeing another one hold (y/n) , find your own

*(y/n) raises glasses to cheers and both take a shot

[it's okay not to drink if you answer]

yeah we know

but it's free alcohol

and drinking makes it more fun

*they hi-five

okay! next question,

[if i had to move away for many years, would you wait for me?]

yes.

wow no hesitations

yes i would wait for you

*(y/n) :O

yes

okay we get it

*they laugh

but i will, you're worth waiting for

your patience says otherwise

are you doubting my ability to wait?

do you hear yourself when you're playing?

that's with games, you're not a game, you're not something i play

*(y/n) blushes making heeseung laugh

shut up okay i get it

i also do not actually trust my patience

SEE ?!

*heeseung bursts out laughing

so instead of waiting i'd probably just go to them and/or visit them a lot

or just move in with me

*(y/n) avoids heeseung's stare

is this still related to the question or the present

huh? *(y/n) acts clueless

WAIT-

*camera cut

*we see both of them sporting a blush with big smiles on their face, and the alcohol evidently lessened

[freestyle! ask any question you want]

wah, i don't know what to ask

*he is thinking, everybody shut up

just keep it simple

no i want it to be hard

i can just actually follow the rules and drink instead of answering

*hee pouts

no you won't

*(y/n) :P

okay!

[did you like ... when we first met?]

oh the 'friend'?

yeah

*(y/n) drinks

*heeseung :O

*(y/n) xD

no heeseung, i did not like them, i really just saw them as a friend

ohh ouch sorry buddy

*they share a laugh

oh it's the last one

[question for both: what does loving each other feel like?]

awww that's a cute one, i'll go first

loving heeseung feels like the comfort your favorite songs bring you. it feels like the excitement you get whenever your favorite show releases a new episode. it's the deep sigh in content you release whenever you smell your favorite scent. it's just, loving him feels like everything your favorites make you feel.

*heeseung is not tearing up, definitely not, that's just sweat, he is also 100% not blushing, it's just hot

*he takes a shot and (y/n) laughs at his antics

now how am i supposed to beat that?!

let me be more romantic gosh

respectfully, no.

*both laugh

okay uhh, loving (y/n) feels like riding a rollercoaster. from all the emotions while waiting in line to exiting the ride. loving them is like the feeling of hitting a high note you previously couldn't. it's winning multiple prizes at the arcade. loving (y/n) is like the softness of a sunrise and the absolute wonder in staring at a night sky.

*(y/n) takes a shot not even bothering to hide their blush

why are we so cheesy and poetic when we're intoxicated damn

*heeseung laughs and agrees

forgive us if we're cringey

not our fault you're single

heeseung! :O

*he stays unapologetic

and that's it!

thank you for having us~

bye~

Timestamp #226: Let's Kill Hitler

Doctor Who: Let’s Kill Hitler (1 episode, s06e08, 2011)

Hello, sweetie.

Prequel

A phone rings as the TARDIS is in flight. The answering machine picks up and Amy leaves a message.

As the camera pans across the console and the dark control room, Amy asks if the Doctor will fulfill his promise to find Melody Pond. Even though she knows that everything turns out okay, she doesn’t want to miss Melody’s childhood.

The Doctor listens intently, but doesn’t pick up the phone. He’s clearly wracked with regret and sadness.

Let’s Kill Hitler

It was once a nice wheat field. Then the Ponds plowed through it, scrawling the word “Doctor” into the crop. They stop in the middle of the O – a giant crop circle – to find the TARDIS and the Doctor in his new pea green double-breasted coat. The Doctor shows them a newspaper article chronicling the event.

It turns out that this was the only way Amy and Rory could figure out to get the Doctor’s attention. He consoles Amy: He will find Melody because River lives. The moment is shattered by police sirens, a speeding red car, and a woman named Mels. The new arrival holds the Doctor at gunpoint and demands to be taken in the TARDIS. It seems that she wants to kill Adolf Hitler.

Flash back to a long time ago in Leadworth as young Amelia, your Rory, and young heretofore-unknown Mels grow up together. Apparently, Mels knows all about Amelia’s “imaginary” friend, the Doctor, and that knowledge gets her in trouble. A lot. Including stealing a bus. She’s also present when Amy finally figures out that Rory loves her.

In the present, Mels, Amy, and Rory take a trip in the TARDIS. Mels actually shoots the TARDIS console while in transit to Nazi Germany. In Berlin, 1938, those same Nazis are being observed by a team with future technology as a machine (posing as a custodian) shapeshifts into a Nazi officer. That team is inside the machine, a highly advanced ship called the Teselecta, which shrinks the Nazi officer and draws him inside. Since the officer is responsible for a series of hate crimes – after all, what Nazi wasn’t? – he is disposed of by a series of “antibodies”.

The Teselecta then goes to Adolf Hitler’s office and activates Justice Mode, but two things interfere in the plan. First, they are too early in Hitler’s time stream. Second, the TARDIS crashes through the wall into the office.

The Doctor evacuates everyone from the TARDIS as it smokes away, then stashes Mels’s handgun in a bowl of fruit. The travelers are beside themselves for actually saving Hitler. The Teselecta tries to attack Hitler again, but he shoots the ship before being stashed in a nearby cupboard by the Doctor and Rory. The Teselecta feigns a fainting spell while the crew analyzes the TARDIS and determines that the most wanted war criminal in history has arrived.

Also, Mels has been shot by Hitler.

Mels, short for Melody, regenerates into a very familiar form. Mission complete. Well… sort of. This new woman has no idea who any of her traveling companions are, she is incredibly self-centered, and has maintained her programming that demands murdering the Doctor. She tries multiple times with every weapon in the room, but the Doctor is several steps ahead of her, but he misses the poison lipstick.

Melody jumps out of window and takes on a squad of Nazis. The soldiers try to shoot her, but she survives due to her regenerative state and uses the discharged energy as a weapon. She picks up their guns and drives away on a motorcycle. Rory and Amy give chase with the sonic screwdriver, followed by the Teselecta disguised as a Nazi soldier.

The Doctor enters the TARDIS and extracts the smoke. He consults with the TARDIS voice interface – the sequence of trying to find a face that doesn’t remind him of his failures is hilarious – and determines that regeneration is impossible due to the poison extracted from the Judas tree. The interface mentions “fish fingers and custard,” inspiring the Doctor to set a course in the TARDIS.

Melody storms a restaurant and demands that the patrons give her their clothes. Outside, the Teselecta takes Amy’s form and miniaturizes Amy and Rory. Just before being killed by the antibodies, the Ponds are given clearance privileges and taken to the control room.

The Teselecta nearly passes judgment on Melody for killing the Doctor, but the Doctor arrives in a tuxedo and top hat. He uses a sonic cane to scan the ship. He also verifies that the Ponds are okay. The Teselecta places Melody in stasis before the crew explains that the mete out justice to war criminals at the ends of their respective timelines. Amy convinces the crew to offer any help they can to the Doctor.

The Silence, a religious cult who believe “silence will fall” when the oldest question in the universe is asked, are behind the plot to kill the Doctor. When the Teselecta crew reveals that they don’t know what the question is, the crew resumes their torture of Melody.

The Doctor asks Amy to save her daughter, so Amy disables the crew’s privileges so that they will all be attacked by the antibodies. The Teselecta releases Melody and the crew is teleported away to a mother ship. As the antibodies descend on Amy and Rory, the Doctor tells Melody to save her parents.

As the Doctor faces his imminent demise, he begs Melody to help him. She talks to the TARDIS and learns to fly the ship, rescuing Amy and Rory before returning everyone to the Doctor’s side. Melody Pond, a child of the TARDIS, wonders who she is. The Doctor asks her to find River Song and pass on a message.

As the Doctor falls unconscious, Melody asks who River Song is. Amy uses the Teselecta to show Melody her own face. Melody decides to pass on her regeneration energy – all her remaining lives – to the Doctor with a kiss, thus becoming River Song.

River wakes up in a hospital with the travelers looking on. The Doctor’s message was that no one could save him, which made her think that she could. This is how she learns Rule #1: The Doctor lies. The travelers leave her with the Sisters of the Infinite Schism to recover, complete with an empty TARDIS-shaped diary. She’ll find her way back to them in time.

As the Doctor ponders the data he downloaded from the Teselecta, River Song enrolls at the Luna University in 5123. Her motivations are simple: She’s looking for a good man.

There are a couple of items working against this fun ride: First, the introduction of the previously unknown Mels. Second, the crux of the assassination of the Doctor relies on him being the smartest man in the room again.

The first can be explained if we’re looking at the events of this season through Amy and Rory’s perspective, therefore seeing a low-impact change in the timeline after Melody’s birth and abduction. The second, while an annoying feature of the Steven Moffat era of Doctor Who, adds a lot of humor and hangs a lampshade on the Doctor’s blind spot for River Song. Especially considering the fact that she is the person who kills the Doctor, an act for which she is imprisoned and is now revealed to be a fixed point. The second also hearkens back to the Ninth Doctor in Boom Town, but it worked there because it wasn’t as much of a storytelling crutch for Russell T. Davies.

That humor, coupled with the character development for River and the Doctor, really makes this story work. The origin story for River Song helps tie off her story and could have provided a convenient story terminus if not for the character’s immense popularity.

The humor also worked because it was self-deprecating. The scene with the TARDIS voice interface poked at the ongoing theme with companion departures and shame, invoking Rose, Martha, and Donna in the process. The scene also point us back to a moment of combined shame and innocence by invoking Amelia Pond, whom the Doctor had not yet screwed up but did leave hanging for her childhood years.

Going back to Rule #1, we find out in this story that temporal grace – the state in which the TARDIS interior exists – houses a “clever lie”. The Fourth Doctor claimed that weapons could not be used inside the TARDIS in order to stop Eldrad in The Hand of Fear. Of course, we already knew that it wasn’t absolute from Arc of Infinity – “Nobody’s perfect,” claimed the Fifth Doctor when challenged by Nyssa about a Cyberman shooting in the console room – as well as The Invasion of Time, Earthshock, Attack of the Cybermen, The Visitation, and The Parting of the Ways.

With all of the discussions about Doctor Who canon/continuity in fandom, it’s a good reminder that Doctor Who canon/continuity has never been consistent.

This story also presents a fascinating parallel to The Caves of Androzani, during which the Doctor was poisoned by could survive by regenerating. The Doctor had several lives to spare at that point, but this encounter comes at the supposed end of the Doctor’s regeneration cycle due to the events of Journey’s End and The Night of the Doctor.

There are also several other franchise callbacks: We’ve seen “justice machines” in the past, though they were in the form of the Megara; We’ve previously seen the TARDIS materialize in a micro environment, courtesy of Carnival of Monsters, and materialize in a micro state, courtesy of Planet of Giants; We’ve seen the TARDIS materialize around people and objects before in Logopolis, Time-Flight, The Parting of the Ways, and The Waters of Mars; We’ve also heard about transferring regeneration energy in previous adventures like Mawdryn Undead, the TV movie, and The Ultimate Foe.

I’m also a sucker for the “Doctor who?” title drop gag, which has been around since the beginning. It makes me snicker every time.

All told, I really enjoy the action, the spirit, and the heart of this story. It takes a tired time-travel trope (“Let’s kill Hitler!”) and turns it on its ear to both develop characters and move a story along. Well done.

I could write something witty and vaguely shitposty, but today is about to become tomorrow and I’m tired, so yes hello, as previously mentioned, I am not dead, and I wasn’t actually gone for that long, but it’s been so long since I provided you guys with actual content, partly in due to the fact

I am writing! Like a lot now. Not a lot by some people’s standards, and it’s not that I wasn’t writing before, but I have set myself a daily quota, and am now keeping a tab for the work completed each day, because it makes me feel accomplished, to have a receipt.

And also, I am consuming a lot more content (read; fanfiction) than I have in awhile, this is not a bad thing, it just means I’ve been filling my spare time with things I like and haven’t been awarding myself pockets of nothing in which I craft tumblr posts. This conveniently segues into my next point,

I am writing fanfiction again! It’s been a few years, I mostly dropped it when I starting writing original fiction, but while reading someone else work *cough cough* it was mushrooms and magnets by starcross on ao3 I’ve posted about it before, if you like Resi8 stuff you should go read it*cough cough* I had an idea for a fic I realized I wouldn’t mind reading, and that further, I wouldn’t mind writing, which leads us to now.

I vaguely touched on this yesterday when I realized I hadn’t really spoken on here in over a week, but today you get the added bonus of music I’ve started listening to while working on said fic, and a snippet of my waxing poetic because my lesbian little heart still isn’t entirely over Lady Dimetrescu, even while I read my way through an aa hyperfixation

Some European jazz to fit the mood, the mood being Singer!Alcina au that’s not really an au since it happened in cannon, but I’m rearranging some timestamps and also mother catholic guilt choked on her toxic spores and everyone lives non-cult, human lives and maybe I throw out the timeline for some background interactions between certain characters, but it’s my canon and I’ll do what I want with it, but anyway Lady D was a jazz singer in the 1930’s, and I wanted to write about it

Yes I am aware this is French, I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding Romanian jazz from any era, much less the early twentieth century, original composer was Django Reinhardt, good vibes, v pretty, cleans the skin, waters your crops, etc

And for the sneak-preview none of you have been waiting for because I told you about this yesterday and you may not have even care about Resi8, a selection from a little something I’ve been working on, and should I hopefully publish it on ao3, you guys will be the first to know. Enjoy.

A crimson sphere of gaseous fumes dips below a sprawling horizon, bathing slowly-waking streets in red light, unobstructed by clouds. A decisive cut splits the plummeting star, leaving streaks of blood across the sky it used to inhabit, concealed by the cloak of night racing desperately after it. Rolling cars flooded streets flecked with golden streetlamps, rivaled only by seas of people washing down sidewalks, falling into and out of buildings, trams cutting through the city on electric grids. Birds shuffle across rooftops as humans shuffle through their constant lives, the sheer noise of simultaneous human existence drowning out the threads of conversation of any singular contributors. But lower still, as one picks apart glowing street signs of painful intensity, shaped light hanging low over pedestrians, there are rooms shielded from such stimulation, the lights and sounds, struggles of outside existence carefully muted, so as to not detract from the ongoing performance.

In hindsight this is literally just me waxing poetic to set tone, but I don’t have enough content yet to feel secure in giving you all the second paragraph, so here, have what is effectively just prose, that I then segue into a resi8 fanfic. I swear it becomes resi8 related you have to believe me. Alright, keep it crunchity boys, and as always, remain heretical.

Ax’s Promare headcanons - Post-World Blaze (pt3)

Hello, I’m back again with more headcanons! I had fun writing this part because I ended up having to consult with an intellectual property lawyer in my family about how patents and royalties work lmao. What’s crazy is that this is not the first time I’ve had to consult a specialist for fic (I previously consulted with a friend of mine who has a degree in political science and another friend who’s a university professor for this same fic that these headcanons are for). The more you know!

If you are not familiar with what is happening, I’ve been writing a series of posts trying to figure out a more specific timeline / sequence of events before canon events in Promare. An expansion of the literal FIRST FIVE MINUTES of the film, if you will (check the timestamps in the movie, I’m not even kidding). This is the fourth post in the series, and you can read the others here!

Post-World Blaze (Years 1-10)

Post-World Blaze (Years 11-20, Loosening Grudges)

And here’s the masterpost, for easier access: Ax’s Promare Headcanons (masterpost)

This post zooms in on Promepolis and the rise of Kray Foresight into power. I have a few notes here and there on my interpretation of the character peppered throughout to help you guys understand why I wrote this part the way I did.

Do note that this is just my personal interpretation of things and I am in no way saying that this is actually what happened! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

HISTORICAL CONTEXT (POST-WORLD BLAZE: YEARS 21-PRESENT, PROMEPOLIS AND KRAY FORESIGHT)

The news of the renowned Dr. Prometh’s death shook the world. Murder. Gunshot, straight to the heart. No evidence had been left; even the CCTV footage had been wiped. To make it even worse, all the data banks of the lab had been purged too. Whatever the professor had been working on was lost to time; he’d been notoriously secretive about his work during his lifetime, and never shared his research with anyone. The culprit was never caught, but the widely-held belief was that it was Mad Burnish’s doing—who else would want the professor dead? The trail eventually went cold, and the case would remain unsolved for the decade to come.

It wasn’t long after Prometh’s death that a local news story gained traction in Promepolis, one of the numerous city-states that had cropped up after the Great World Blaze. A young man by the name of Kray Foresight had saved a young boy from a house fire, losing an arm in the process. What made the story even better was that Foresight was an undergraduate engineering student, working on anti-Burnish tech. The press ate the sweet irony up, and regurgitated the information till it was all Promepolitans could talk about. That Foresight was such a darling too, such a kind-hearted soul—when interviewed about his stance on the Burnish, he was of the opinion that, while they were dangerous, they were victims of circumstance. His research was on anti-Burnish tech, to protect humans from the threat of Burnish fire, but he wanted to find a cure for the Burnish condition too. And wasn’t that a more sustainable solution for everyone involved? The young ones his age celebrated him—this is the kind of face their movement needed (compassion over retribution)—while the older ones, those who hated the Burnish but were charmed by this promising young man, started to think a little more.

Moved by these sentiments and impressed by his research, private and public entities alike lined up to invest in his tech. Almost overnight, Kray Foresight had become a billionaire. His research grew by leaps and bounds with the new lifeblood of steady funds, more money than a college student knew what to do with. Many companies tried to recruit him into their labs; others tried to buy the research from him. But he was steadfast in his refusal. The patents would not go to a corporation; of that, he had been adamant. Instead, a year later, right after his graduation (which had been publicized), he founded the Foresight Foundation, which became the holding entity for the patents of a slew of anti-Burnish tech that would soon become standard issue in all police forces and Counter-Terrorism Units around the world. The royalties from his inventions ensured a steady and impressive flow of funds, big portions of which were generously donated to the Promepolis City Government to fund their projects, while the Foundation worked on setting up its own network of schools, clinics, and social support programs for the citizens of Promepolis. All throughout this, the press kept reminding the public of what he had done in the past—the young man who had saved a boy from a fire, losing his arm in the process, was actively making the world a better place. He was poised for great things, and all eyes were on him for what he’d do next. They didn’t need to wait long. Only a little less than two years after the Foundation’s founding, Foresight made an unprecedented statement: he was going to run as Governor in the upcoming city elections.

There were concerns on Foresight’s intentions to run as Governor—one, he hadn’t served in public office previously, though he did have experience running a large foundation with a wide reach, which had also worked with the City Government closely in the past; and two, he was so damn young. His platform came heavily tinged with wide-eyed idealism, reflective of the new wave of thinking characteristic of the younger generation—“We in Promepolis protect our own, Burnish and human alike. The world has moved past the need for grudges; we must let go of the past and think of the future. At this point, we must strive, more than ever, to maintain peace,” he’d said in a campaign rally. No Promepolitan left behind was his battle cry; Burnish needed help, not anymore punishment, and he promised the establishment of a Burnish rehabilitation program, the first of the world would ever see. To all the Burnish in Promepolis, he’d promised, don’t worry, we’ll make sure you never hurt anyone ever again. And of Mad Burnish, which had largely lost its influence but still remained a thorn in everyone’s side, he promised that they would see their end during his term as Governor.

It made international news when Kray Foresight won as Governor of Promepolis by a landslide; even other city-states had a stake in it, after all. Promepolis was the first to establish a Burnish rehabilitation program in partnership with the Foresight Foundation, with many of the forward-thinking city-states investing huge amounts of money into the program as well. If proven to be a success, if the Foundation could really find a way to rid the world of the Burnish problem once and for all, they were all too happy to throw their money into the project.

(As viewers, ofc we all know this is a front. If Kray had the Parnassus Project in mind since the start, I don’t believe it would have been in his best interest to drive all the Burnish out of the city. So he pushed for a narrative that yes, the Burnish condition does make you violent and a threat to those around you, but we in Promepolis protect our own. We will help you, we will cure you. Many people voluntarily entered themselves or their family members into the program, even though Foresight said it could take years before they would be able to be released. This was fine, as long as they didn’t hurt anyone again. Many of them died, the lucky ones were busted out by Mad Burnish.)

(Any Burnish caught not submitting themselves to the rehabilitation program would be arrested on grounds of being a threat to public safety, and immediately put into the program. Those found complicit in the act of hiding the Burnish would also be arrested and subjected to appropriate jail time or conscripted community service.)

(The money that was being invested in the rehabilitation program was being used to fund the Parnassus, alongside the crazy big money the Foresight Foundation was making off the patents for anti-Burnish tech. The Financial Director of the Foresight Foundation was also the Administrator of the Department of Commerce, Industry, and Trade at the time—more on this in another post)

Kray Foresight was a firebrand of a politician. Promepolis’ Governors before him had largely been passive, but Foresight was a visionary. Though they had been few, being the darling of Promepolis and all, Foresight had shut the naysayers up quite swiftly. He not only proved to be competent in the role, but extraordinary, open to change and innovation in a way the previous Governors had not. With him and his appointed Council of Administrators, Promepolis began to change, developing in a way it could only hope to achieve previously. People attributed it to his age—maybe injecting youth into the politics of this city had been the right decision after all—and he proved to be popular with his constituents again and again, across all demographics. He would remain in his position for the better part of a decade, winning another term before his fall from grace. At his prime, he was seen as benevolent and compassionate, but capable of making hard decisions all the same.

(By the Second Great World Blaze, Kray would have been Governor of Promepolis for 7-8 years already.)

I personally headcanon Kray as someone who pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes. Competent people who are also nice enjoy an almost privileged position in with the general public, and I think he would have capitalized on that. Which means that, in a world where the Burnish are demonized, he would have used it to his advantage by playing the nice guy. Even to the people funding the Parnassus Project, I think he would have kept up that front-- “It is unfortunate, but we have no choice but to do this,” even if inwardly he was just. Really fuckin racist haha. A saint till the end, that Kray Foresight. Or so he would have wanted people to believe. (Support for this: it is apparently so far removed from his public image that he would do bad things to the Burnish that Galo’s immediate reaction to Lio telling him the truth was, “That’s a lie, the Governor would never do that.”)

Anyway, thanks for reading until the end of this post!

(Btw, I have an AO3 account! All these headcanons are going to be put to good use, eventually, in a fic, but I hope you check out what I have so far!)

O.1. INTRODUCTION [MC]

And with the slam of a door, I was transported to a world that previously laid well-hidden under my eyes,

a skew of new faces lighting up what would redirect the course of my young life.

Despite the fresh circumstances,

a ping of familiarity seemed to light up my insides;

What should’ve been a new beginning, feeling more like an old memory...

“Have you received mysterious messages?”

Introduction...

Hello world, my name is Minjee Choi! Welcome to my blog, a platform of which I have debated heavily about opening up for this corner of the internet to view. Due to my circumstances, however, I thought it would be a most pleasant outlet to share my thoughts, and meet new people along the way! Before I tell you who I am now, I suppose I should give you insight on how I became this person...

Once upon a time a long time ago, I was lured into a highly secured apartment in a town in South Korea, by a person of which I was not familiar with at the time (stupid, I know). Upon entering this apartment, I was mysteriously added to a group chat operated by members of an elite charity organization called the RFA. During my time in the group chat, I was offered a position as their primary party planner, and have held that position since then. We have hosted many parties, and I have created a bond with each and every single member of the organization. Alongside my experiences on a business perspective, I have collected a variety of odd experiences and have gone onto endure many adventures with my fellow members. With this in mind, I have decided to create this blog as a way to write and document them as they come, as well as use this space for a few creative endeavors of my own...

With all of that in mind, allow me to tell you about myself!

- I am from Byron Bay, Australia. I came to South Korea to attend university, as I myself am Korean.

- Outside of being a student and the RFA, I can be found lending a hand at a local coffee shoppe.

- I was born February the 18th, making me a relatively flamboyant Aquarius.

- I am an INTJ, and my hobbies include various forms of journalism and the arts, playing video games, ice skating, learning new languages, and fashion.

- I play the bass, the piano, and the harp.

- I am currently learning about photography from my fellow RFA member Jihyun. Additionally, in the past my members have taught me many things! Jumin has taught me how to brew tea, Saeyoung has taught me about coding, Yoosung about his various video game pursuits, so on and so forth...

- I have a Himalayan cat named Bean.

As you might be able to tell, I’m not the best as describing myself... If there’s anything you would like to know about me that I haven’t mentioned, feel free to ask!

About the blog...

This blog will post about but is not limited to...

- General Mystic Messenger HC’s / Imagines / Timestamps / Drabbles (MC x RFA primarily, sometimes Character x Character or solo characters)

- MysMes AU’s (Primarily focusing on MC & RFA)

- Fan art (MC X Character candids, respectively)

- Roleplay (Plotted, full length RP in DMS exclusively, there is a rules list; primarily MC x Character with the occasionally MC x MC)

- Ask box (Questions, character interactions, anything else!)

Any questions or suggestions of additional content? Feel free to send an ask!

Additional Notes...

- All RFA content will encompass all main story and deep story members, as well as Jihyun & Saeran

- Minjee Choi is a MC OC, meaning that this is a roleplay account! Feel free to speak in the lense of a MysMes character or as yourself! All asks are encouraged, as Minjee does love to make friends!

- Navigations, rules / about me pages, and tags will be created soon for convenience if there an established need!

- This blog might contain NSFW content such as smut! If such content does occur, it will ALWAYS be marked to ensure safety.

Requests: Coming soon...

Roleplay DMs: Open!

Ask box: Open!

Well, that’s enough about me for today! I hope we can all become friends, and you all stick around to hear about my adventures as a member of the RFA. Thank you all for reading !~

Minjee! has left the chatroom.

Pick-Up Lines

Summary: "Don't go getting any funny ideas," You said quietly as you adjusted, tossing a leg over his hips and nuzzling your nose into his neck. "just 'cause you're in my bed doesn't mean you're gonna get into my pants."

"Y/N you're not wearing any pants."

[Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4]

Warnings: Mild swearing

Word count: 1600

A/N: No one asked for this but ya’ll’re getting it anyways

You'd think Connor would've gotten used to working with difficult people, what with Gavin being an asshole and Hank completely closed off to him in the beginning. His difficulty wasn't limited to just those two either, being an android in post-revolution Detroit made plenty of humans wary of his character.

But he'd never had to work with someone so flirty.

And frankly, he didn't know how to react. Regardless of his endless supply of information, every wise-crack and flirty response and cold rejection refused to process when you glanced up at him with that mischievously proud smirk you got before you opened your mouth for another comment.

In your defense, he made it incredibly easy, what with his cute face and all the little things he did that honestly begged for you to comment on. Besides, the way he looked like he was gonna short-circuit after a particularly lewd comment was worth the strained side-eye you'd get from Hank if he overheard you.

Connor believed that the real problem wasn't that you were flirting with him, probably solely for the fun of it (which he'd admit was a disappointing thought now that he understood what disappointment felt like), but that he wanted to flirt back. And even worse, he couldn't. It was an emotion he hadn't quite figured out yet, somewhere between anxiety, nervousness and embarrassment that made his throat feel closed off (it was, technically, because he didn't have a trachea, but that was besides the point). He was desperate to change that though, and thankfully you gave him lots of opportunities.

"Hey hot stuff, what's new?" You hopped up on his desk, sitting right in front of him with a shit-eating grin on your lips. He wasn't sure if he hated or loved the way his processors whirred whenever he saw that smirk, the closest his synthetic body would get to a rush of adrenaline.

"Hello Y/N, you must be tired this morning." You raised an eyebrow in his direction, waiting for him to explain himself.

"Seeing as how you were running through my thoughts all night." Is what he was supposed to say, before he got too distracted by the way you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. He was aware that this was a dumb thing to get distracted by, even flustered over, but he had suddenly imagined how soft your touch would be. How completely welcoming and sweet your fingers would feel running through his hair or over his jaw, crawling over his collarbones. He felt like the wires connecting his audio box and his processor had disconnected, and he closed his mouth to stop himself from muttering something entirely stupid.

"I noticed that you were here late, the timestamp on your last report was well past 2 am."

"Ah, yeah I could use another cup of coffee." You leaned back on your palms a bit, probably mentally preparing yourself to get up and make one. Connor often had to do the same thing, since Gavin's desk was right by the coffee machine.

"Would you like me to get one for you?" He would, however, brave the walk for you. And the small look of surprise on your face when he offered was worth any insult Reed could throw at him.

"If you did I'd only be able to repay you with a kiss." He could only hope you would.

"I'm sorry, that's not a currency I'm experienced with." He meant it half as a joke, but he was still getting used to making those. You smirked again and Connor swore he would be breathless if his functions permitted it.

"Anytime you want some practice, sweetheart, I'm all yours." He attempted to hide his flashing red LED by stepping out of his chair and heading towards the lounge, fighting back images and the simulated feeling of your lips clashing with his.

---

"Hey Connor do you have a map?" You walked up from behind him, doing a quick turn and stopping in front of him, same glint in your eye.

"I have every map downloaded on the internet, where's it for?" He asked almost suspiciously, wondering if you were about to flirt with him or if that look extended to more than that.

"For here, I just got so lost in your eyes I can't find my way around anymore. Then again," You ran your finger under his chin, savouring the flicker in his LED as you did so. "now that I've found you I don't think I want anything else."

Connor almost felt light headed, how that was possible he had no answer, but it must've been because that's what was happening.

"I- oh." Was all he managed to get out, knowing if he could blush he would be. You just sounded so... Genuine, it threw him off. Your little giggle didn't help either.

"I actually am late for a debriefing though, so I'll catch you later sweetcheeks." You shined an earth-shattering smile, bounced up on your tiptoes to plant a kiss painfully close to his lips, then sped off to Fowler's office.

---

"Jesus Connor, it's like 6 in the morning what the hell are you doing here?" You groan tiredly, holding yourself up with your front door as you open it to the android.

"I was sent a report and Hank refused to come with me to investigate, telling me to come recruit you instead." He folded his hands behind his back and tried to ignore the fact that you were only wearing a t-shirt and underwear, and how adorably messy your hair was.

And how cute you looked trying to rub the sleep from your eyes.

And how his thirium pump seemed to kick into overdrive, and his usual objective (previously 'Convince Y/N to investigate the scene') jumped between 'Flirt', 'Kiss', and 'Look away'. He had noticed since becoming deviant that giving yourself orders was much more confusing than when he accepted the ones Cyberlife gave him. Sometimes he missed it, the easy answers, the doubtless actions.

"Well come in I guess," You offered, padding away from him and the open door and walking back into your room. "You know, I imagined the first time I had you in my bedroom would be under very different circumstances."

He was, in fact, trying to avoid those exact thoughts.

"Well, maybe next time." You joked to yourself, without the usual conviction because you were still more than half asleep. Connor watched you look over to your closet, like you were considering grabbing a change of clothes and getting ready for the day.

And then he watched you take a step towards your bed and crawl back in it, like he wasn't even there. Like you hadn't heard him talk about a new case, like you hadn't literally just said you wanted to sleep with him. How could you say something that worked him up so much without even being awake yet? How was it so effortless, so natural for you?

"Y/N?" He stepped slowly over to the bed and heard you make a small hum in response. You had curled up to a pillow and Connor was fighting a sense of envy over it.

"Do you not want to go to the crime scene?" It's not what he really wanted to ask but he supposed it was a better idea to ask this instead of questioning your feelings toward him.

"I just need a little nap, you're free to join me." Your arm felt heavy but you lifted it anyways, welcoming him into your bed like you would invite someone in for a hug, but he continued to stand and watch you curiously, cautiously.

"As an android I don't need sleep." He noticed the little frown on your lips and felt something inside him collapse.

"Then come cuddle, you can wake me up in 5." He let you wrap your fingers around his wrist and tug lightly until he lay down beside you. He wasn't sure how good of an idea this was, but god he wanted it so bad, how could he say no to you?

"Don't go getting any funny ideas," You said quietly as you adjusted, tossing a leg over his hips and nuzzling your nose into his neck. "just 'cause you're in my bed doesn't mean you're gonna get into my pants."

"Y/N you're not wearing any pants." He couldn't help himself from teasing you a little, even if you were too tired to appreciate it.

"Exactly." Connor wished there was a way he could say "?????" but it didn't translate well into audio, so he stayed silent. It didn't take very long for him to register your soft breaths against his collarbone and confirm you were asleep, but he was faced with the problem of finding a less awkward position for himself, pinned to the bed by your limbs.

And since you were asleep, he let his guard down a little and did something he wouldn't dream of doing with you conscious; he placed a light kiss on the top of your head and wrapped his arms around you, tracing little patterns into your back to entertain himself.

"Hey Y/N?" He said softly, more tenderly than you'd ever heard him before. If you were even slightly awake it might've even made you swoon.

"Yeah?" You whispered into him and he swore he felt the words crawl up his synthetic skin with a shiver.

"I hope you like the feel of my jacket, it's made of boyfriend material."

How The Ordinary by Deciem changed my life (or why I will never return to that hack dermatologist ever again).

I've been meaning to write this review for a while, because I have been beyond impressed by my skin care routine based in The Ordinary products by Deciem for months, but it wasn't until I switched to their foundation recently that I decided to actually sit down and pen this.

Firstly, I need to tell you, MY SKIN IS AN ANGERY BEAST. I have HORRIBLE hormonal cystic acne on my chin – 1-2 big swollen red beasts at a time, that are not only unsightly but painful, lasting sometimes upwards of months, leaving horrible scars behind.

Side story time: I was referred to a dermatologist by my doctor, and it took months to get into my appointment. I sat with him, and while he was gentle and helped me understand some other skin concerns, he proceeded to TOUCH MY FACE with a gloveless hand, and cause several huge problems to form on my face the next few days. He also didn't actually address any of my issues regarding the cysts, as all he did was suggest topical Retinol and to stop eating gluten (because as a chronic pain sufferer, yknow, like I haven't tried all those elimination diets before this).

The makeupless photos at the top of this post were taken the morning of my appointment, after about one month of switching my routine to The Ordinary products. While I clearly still have some problems, and I still have issues that pop up, my healing time has been taken from 2-3 months to 1-2 WEEKS.

The thing I love about these products are that everything is a 1-2 ingredient treatment. It makes for extra steps, sure, but also allows you to tailor the treatments to your specific needs, without any extra ingredients or irritants. For me, it was finding the ingredients to help dry out the worst of the blemishes, and then help to heal the wounds and scars left behind, as well as help retain moisture.

I spoke to the employees at Deciem and they helped me select items to start my journey.

My skincare routine is a mix of a few brands still, with the majority of products being from Deciem’s Ordinary line. 

I start with a cleanser, depending on my skin’s condition for that day, I either use the Mario Badescu Orange Cleansing Soap with AHA for gentle exfoliation ($15CAD on obsessedcanada.com), or if my spots are extra dry, I use an Yves Rocher aloe exfoliating cleanser with salicylic acid (which is apparently no longer available on their site!! Oh no!!).

After cleansing, in the morning, I use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + ZInc 1% ($5.90CAD) all over my face to help prevent blemishes and reduce the scarring from previous break outs. 

Every second night, instead of the N+Z treatment, I do a full face of Advanced Retinoid 2% ($9.80CAD) to help with aging skin because HELLO I AM NO LONGER 20 YEARS OLD. 

For my problem spots, I treat the area with a Salicylic Acid 2% spot treatment ($4.90CAD), which also contains Witch Hazel for soothing properties, as the acid itself is very drying (which is the point, duh, but it can make especially horrible spots dry, flaky and itchy sometimes). 

For moisture, I again turn to Yves Rocher as I found the Deciem moisturizers a little to heavy for my skin, and I reach for the Anti-Redness Moisturizer Sensitive Vegetale ($28.00CAD), which is a gel based moisturizer with anti-redness properties. 

And for extra dry days, and overnight treatments, I use The Ordinary 100% Squalane Oil ($7.90CAD) which is plant derived, and makes my skin look plump and full. 

SUPER AWESOME RIGHT? So now that skin care is covered, let’s talk about the amazingness that is Deciem’s The Ordinary primer and foundation, okay? 

So the third picture of me is an un-retouched makeup photo using The Ordinary Coverage Foundation. As you can see, there’s still problem areas, and my skin is still pitted from previous breakouts, but overall, it looks 1000000000x better than it did a year ago, and it’s only been a few months with these products.

I start with the High Adherence Silicone Primer - I’ve had so many issues with primer in the past just not doing it’s job. I’ve tried literally every type of primer available and probably spent hundreds of dollars in the process. Who knew all I needed was a basic silicone primer that cost less than a tube of anti chaffing gel (4.90CAD).

Okay, this post has gone on long enough, but I want to finish out with a comprehensive review of The Ordinary Coverage Foundation which is the new love of my life. At $6.90CAD a bottle, I will gladly replace every $50+ bottle of not-quite-good-enough foundation with this bad boy. It tends to sell out quickly, so if you can get your shade, I would recommend ordering a few at a time (although, a 30ML bottle will last you quite some time, which I will cover in my review).

Comparatively speaking, I will use my previous foundation, the Cover FX Natural Finish Foundation in shade N10 as the basis for my review. I’d been wearing that particular foundation for about 1 year, and while the colour match was fantastic, there was so many problems with this foundation honestly. The unfinished texture was slightly sticky to the touch, and required a LOT of powder to be set. Even after being set with powder and spray, I found that any time anything touched my face, the amount of transfer was ridiculous. Not only that, but as I mentioned earlier, I’m no longer a spring chicken and I have fine lines, and this foundation - even after priming - would sink into all my little lines! Not cool Cover FX. Not. Cool. 

So, let’s get on to the actual review. Now, of course, not every product is perfect. This one is *nearly* there, but they need to extend the shade selection in the darker end of the range. While they do have many more shades than your average white brand, there’s still not as many shades for people of colour as there is for us pale folks. I’m hoping that they will extend the line, and they definitely listen to customer feedback, so if you don’t see a shade that matches your tones, I highly suggest writing or tweeting the lovely team. 

The texture of this product is amazing. A velvety smooth matte finish makes skin looks natural and glowy. However, as this does not have the same “stickiness” as my previous foundation, I find that I have to layer on my blusher a little extra to give it the same pigmentation I had previously. However, the coverage is absolutely amazing, and it only takes a VERY small amount (1 pump) to do a whole face, including my trouble spots which are often very deep red. Considering my last 30ML tube of CoverFX foundation lasted about 5 months, and required a much larger amount for a full coverage, I see this bottle lasting me quite some time, and will update this review when the bottle has run out with an official timestamp. Also - NO TRANSFER. I set with an ELF HD Powder, and NYX Mattifying setting spray, and I spent all day today trying on clothes, and didn’t leave makeup on anything! 

Honestly, I need to gush about this so hard. I want to share my experience with the world because a) their products are a broke person’s godsend, and b) they’ve 100% changed my skin for the better. If anyone from Deciem is reading this and wanna hook me up, HOLLER!!!! No, seriously, love y’all so much.

Timestamp #223: The Doctor's Wife

Doctor Who: The Doctor’s Wife (1 episode, s06e04, 2011)

“Where’s my thief!?”

A woman named Idris is led to a platform by “Auntie”, “Uncle”, and “Nephew”, the last of which is an Ood who drains her mind in preparation for a Time Lord’s arrival.

On the TARDIS, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory are surprised by a knock on the door. Even though they are in deep space, the shave-and-a-haircut routine reveals an emergency hypercube message for the Doctor, presumably sent by another Time Lord named the Corsair. They follow the signal contained within, dumping excess TARDIS rooms for fuel, and break through to another universe.

Almost immediately, the TARDIS goes dark. The matrix – the heart and soul of the TARDIS – has vanished. While the Doctor puzzles over where it would go, Idris awakens with an exhale of golden regeneration energy.

The travelers exit the TARDIS into a junkyard. Luckily, there’s plenty of rift energy so refueling should be easy. On the other hand, the Doctor is accosted by Idris, who presents as an insane woman calling the Time Lord her “thief”. After taking care of Idris, the Doctor turns his attention to the green-eyed Ood. After fixing the Ood’s sphere, it broadcasts a series of interwoven distress messages from various Time Lords. As Auntie and Uncle take Idris back to the House, the Doctor expresses his intrigue at the possible presence of his own people.

In the House, the asteroid is revealed to be sentient. The asteroid tells the Doctor that many TARDISes and Time Lords have come and gone, but there are no others now. The travelers explore a bit. Amy points out that the Doctor is seeking forgiveness from his people. The Doctor sends the companions back to the TARDIS in search of his sonic screwdriver. Once they arrive, the doors lock as a green mist swirls about the phone box. Meanwhile, the Doctor had his sonic the entire time. Cheeky devil.

The Doctor discovers a collection of Time Lord distress signal cubes. He realizes that Auntie and Uncle have been mended over time by the asteroid with parts of the various Time Lords, including the ouroboros-tattooed arm of the Corsair.

Knowing that Idris foretold the Doctor’s discovery, he confronts her. There he finds out that she holds the matrix. She is the personification of the TARDIS. The Doctor releases her and together they determine that House feeds on TARDISes, which it can only do if it removes the matrices first. The Doctor tries to retrieve Amy and Rory from the TARDIS, but the phone box dematerializes with the chiming of the Cloister Bell and heads back to N-Space. Unfortunately for the companions, the House has hijacked the TARDIS.

In the junkyard, Uncle and Auntie collapse as they lose their source of life. Idris herself only has a short time to live but encourages the Doctor to explore the TARDIS junkyard for a way home. When the Doctor asks what he should call her, Idris tells him (much to his chagrin) that he named her “Sexy”.

House asks why he shouldn’t just kill the humans. Rory stalls for time by suggesting that they could provide entertainment. House agrees, prompting them to run for their lives through the corridors in a series of nightmare scenarios.

As the Doctor assembles a TARDIS from spare parts, he and Idris argue. The discussion ranges from how police box doors open outward (“Pull to Open”, which actually refers to the phone compartment), how the TARDIS always takes the Doctor where he needs to go, the Time Lord’s fascination with “strays”, and how the TARDIS wanted to travel so she stole the Doctor to take her on an adventure.

With a kiss to the time rotor, the patchwork TARDIS console room dematerializes and gives chase. Idris sends “the pretty one” a set of telepathic directions to one of her old console rooms. Rory leads Amy to the archived desktop of the Ninth and Tenth Doctor’s console room. There they lower the TARDIS’s shields but are pursued by Nephew. Just in time, the patchwork console materializes in the archived console room and vaporizes the Ood, marking another one that the Doctor failed to save.

After introductions are made, Idris collapses and House muses about ways to kill the Doctor and his companions. The Doctor gives House instructions on how to get the TARDIS back to N-Space, but when House starts deleting rooms for the journey, it inadvertently invokes a failsafe that protects living things from being deleted with the rooms. As the travelers materialize in the real console room, House suggests that they should fear him since he’s killed Time Lords before and won’t hesitate to do it again.

The Doctor replies that House should fear him. He’s killed all of them.

The Doctor stalls for time as he points out the concept of trapping the matrix in a human body. The goal was to get the matrix as far as possible from the console room, but House has brought the matrix home. With her last breath, Idris releases the matrix. It swirls about and reintegrates with the TARDIS, overriding and consuming House.

As a last gift, the TARDIS speaks through Idris. She remembers the word that she’s been searching for – “alive” – and tells him the one thing she’s never been able to say: “Hello, Doctor. It’s so very very nice to meet you.” In a bright flash of light, Idris disappears, offering her final words of “I love you” to her companion.

Some time later, the Doctor installs a firewall around the matrix. Rory tells him that Idris’s final words to him were, “The only water in the forest is the river,” which she believed that they needed to know for the future. Amy and Rory ask for a new bedroom – preferably one with a double bed instead of bunk beds – since theirs was deleted. He tells them how to get there, then spends some time with the TARDIS console. He asks the ship where she wants to go, even if it’s the Eye of Orion for a little rest and relaxation.

The levers flip on their own accord. The TARDIS sets a course. Adventure awaits.

What a beautiful ride.

When I first saw this episode back in 2011, I was confused by it. The fast pace coupled with rapid-fire references lost me. This time around, however, I relished the experience. The story is well-written and plays off of each of the main characters so nicely, from the Doctor’s desire to be forgiven for his actions in the Last Great Time War to Amy and Rory’s love. The latter of which was actually sold quite well here despite my skepticism of it last season.

The core of this story is the Doctor’s relationship to the TARDIS, which is played beautifully by giving a voice to a consciousness that exists simultaneously across all time and space. The relationship is pretty much that of a married couple, and the TARDIS’s finally expressed love for her companion is one born of their mutual adventures. I love that the TARDIS has archived past console rooms – which presumably means that a blank room is simply formatted with the “desktop” file from previous iterations – and that the TARDIS already knows what rooms are coming up next.

Amusingly, Neil Gaiman has requested that the archive scene feature a classic-era console room, but the budget wasn’t available for that. So, the production team left the coral console room standing for this story. This episode was supposed to air during Series Five but was pushed to this point in time so there was quite a long production lead for it.

The Doctor’s TARDIS also is pretty explicit about the nature of other time capsules. The Time Lords have previously treated them as nothing more than machines or vehicles, but Idris refers to her dead siblings as sisters. That matches well with nautical traditions of referring to all ships as female, but also gives us insight into the culture of the TARDISes overall.

This story featured the Doctor piloting a TARDIS other than his own for the first time on screen – at this point in time, Shada had not yet been completed – and that patchwork ship was the creation of 12-year-old Susannah Leah for a Blue Peter contest, complete with safety straps on the console (hello, Timelash!). The Doctor previously traveled with only the TARDIS console in Inferno. This story was also the first one since Horror of Fang Rock to kill every character except the Doctor and the companions.

Neil Gaiman reached way back for some of the elements here. We first (and last) saw the hypercube in The War Games, last saw the TARDIS’s telepathic circuits used to mess with the companions in The Edge of Destruction, and found the Doctor rebuilding the TARDIS in both The Claws of Axos and The Horns of Nimon. Lest we forget the concept of jettisoning rooms on the TARDIS, which we’ve seen on at least three occasions (Logopolis, Castrovalva, and Paradise Towers), or the idea of tricking the villain into fixing the TARDIS (ala Frontios).

It’s obvious that he’s a fan of the show and has done his homework.

He also deliberately provided the first confirmation in the franchise mythology that Time Lords can change gender during regeneration. I covered many of the reasons why this was a brilliant and easily defensible concept when Jodie Whittaker was announced as the Thirteenth Doctor, and I still stand by it. Gaiman’s choice of the ouroboros – the snake eating its own tail, a symbol for eternity – for the Corsair’s personal emblem was a great representation of both Time Lord culture and the nature of Doctor Who.

This story is just amazing as a franchise game-changer and ode to the show’s history. To call it fantastic is an understatement, but it’s the highest choice I have.

Rating: 5/5 – “Fantastic!”

Marble Hornets + Viewer Correspondence

...from both totheark and “J”. Remember when that was the big plot twist?

In response to Will 2.0 on UnFiction about how many tapes there were:

Tons of tapes. It would take a while to count them properly, which isn't really time I have. If I had to guess, I'd say upwards of a hundred. Alex shoved them all in plastic bags so they're not filed in a way that would make them easy to count.

If I remember correctly, Marble Hornets was about the main character coming back to his hometown and recalling events from his childhood. Alex was big into those kinds of movies. Pretentious film student stuff. I was on the set a few times, maybe three or so. He had given me a script but I can't find it now.

But I do know that a good bit of filming took place around his house, which is in a heavily wooded area.

Thanks for your interest,

J.

In response to Will 2.0's next question about how Alex seemed the last time J saw him:

He had lost a lot of weight the last time I saw him. He looked sickly, and was very short with me. Pretty unlike him at the time.

-J

In response to jenni42ld (UF) asking about the location and if there were any reports of strange persons at the same time:

Re: Strange Videos question

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in helping. For security reasons, I've decided not to disclose the exact locations of filming yet. However, in response to your other question, I don't recall hearing of any escaped felons when this took place.

Hope you're OK, I saw the videos…

'bout how many videos are there? that might be able to help.

Also, have *you* seen the slender man from the videos lately, I sure hope not.

J responds:

Thank you for your concern. I am alright.

I have not seen anything resembling the figure that I've been seeing at times in the tapes, no. I will keep everyone posted.

So………..you are posting videos of sound that may be from the "Entry videos" posted by Marble Hornets.

Maybe you are Alex?

I was wondering if that was the last of those videos…..cause it really seems like something is following you. I think it may be this Slender man thing, but I really do not know what it is. I would be very grateful to get a response from you. Thanks.

No. There are many more tapes to go.

DavFlamerock (UF) writes:

Hey J, I was just wondering about Alex's film. I've been following you for some time, and while the stuff involving whatever creature was following Alex is frightening and interesting, as a storyteller I can't help but wonder… what was the plot of Alex's movie project? What was it about? I would love to see some more footage of it, even if it's not a part of the Entries which you are uploading.

Thank you for your attention, and I hope you progress well through that endless supply of tapes! (and get better!)

Dav Flamerock

J responds:

Hello, thank you for your message.

A little over three years ago, when Alex was beginning work on his film Marble Hornets, he gave me a full script and I was able to read through it.

Frankly, it was a pretty run-of-the-mill drama about a guy (Brian) returning to his hometown after abruptly leaving and reuniting with all of his old friends and finding out what became of all of them in the time he had been gone.

The raw footage (without any abnormalities) is relatively unspectacular and would do little more than bore you.

Thank you again for the encouragement and help.

-J.

In response to justcurious (UF) asking what happened to Rocky and if Alex had a blog:

Thank you for the interest. As far as I know, Alex took his dog with him when he left for where ever he is now.

Currently, I'm looking for any kind of blog or twitter account that Alex would have had. No luck so far.

-J.

In response to mucka1916 (UF) asking about J's blackouts:

I have been losing track of time often. I'm guessing it's due to the amount of time I've been taking for looking through the tapes.

-J.

In response to DavFlamerock (UF) asking about what happened after “Entry #12”:

Hello Dav. I have been asked this question numerous times already even though entry 12 has only been up for a few hours now. I should have made it more clear within the entry, I apologize.

Anyway, yes, what happens after that clip is VERY important. Unfortunately, the girl operating the camera at the time stopped recording as Alex walked on screen. There was a little bit of time left on the tape (around 4 or 5 minutes) after this clip, but it's blank. I'm not sure if Alex changed tapes early or not, because I have yet to find another tape that "matches" with this clip. It's frustrating to say the least.

Thank you for the question, I will continue searching.

-J.

In response to nauttebayo (UF) asking about the chronology of the tapes:

No, there were no timestamps on the tapes. "first encounter" on Entry #2 is simply my own personal speculation and not necessarily fact. I don't know the order of events right now. That's what I'm trying to determine.

-J.

totheark responds to Citizen Ed (UF) asking if J can be trusted:

human, therefore no

totheark responds to Citizen Ed (UF) asking how to get missing portions of the video if J is not to be trusted:

ihavesomething important

In response to Sahittam (UF) asking why the film was called Marble Hornets:

I apologize for not answering your message sooner. I tend to let them build up over a few days before answering all the meaningful ones en masse.

As for the name Marble Hornets, I'm not sure of its meaning within Alex's film. From what I remember of reading the script ~3 years ago, a little sculpture of a marble hornet came into play at some important part of the movie. I think it was drawn from Alex's experience, since when he lived with his parents, they had a bunch of little sculptures laying around, decorating their house.

-J.

The World Ends With You (UF) writes:

I recently downloaded the latest video from totheark, and I came across this:

I don't think anyone else noticed this since it seems in the actual Youtube video, it doesn't flash on screen.

Just giving you the heads up.

J responds:

Wow. Very good find. Thank you. That's strange how it was cut off on the youtube video. Now all we have to do is figure out what tthe aark could possibly be.

Tim

I don't know if anyone's asked you this yet, but, regarding Tim in Entry 15: You say the only way you could convince him to meet up with you when you told him you were interested in the completion of the Marble Hornets video.

1. Does this mean you previously contacted him?

- If so, why did he turn down your original advances, and what were they?

2. Are you still ill? You seem to be coughing a bit.

3. Did you notice ANYONE out-of-place while you were visiting whatever facility this was shot in? Some people claim to see glimpses of a man in a suit in the reflection of the door in the beginning of the video.

4. Did Tim know he was being video taped?

J responds:

Re: Tim

1. Yes, I contacted him. But he didn't see the reason in meeting face to face unless it was important, which is why I told him about screen testing.

2. Feeling a little better, but still not 100%.

3. No, I did not.

4. He probably figured I was when I first walked up to him (since I was pointing the camera at him), but after that I'm fairly sure he thought I had stopped recording.

-J.

TheNightmareComplex (UF) writes:

1. Alright, so, obviously, someone video taped you while you were coughing. Did you fall down BECAUSE you were coughing, or did you trip over something?

2. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but are there two staircases in that house?

3. Does anything interesting come from the bottle of pills you grabbed? Anything on the label? Perhaps any words or numbers printed onto the pills themselves? Every little bit is important.

J responds:

1. It was a bad coughing fit.

2. No, only one.

3. I will probably make a video soon detailing the answers.

In response to RedBlade2021 (UF) asking where Brian was when J and Alex were location scouting:

Re: Brian, Where was he?

Brian was not there when Alex and I were location scouting. It was only me and him.

-J.

J writes on SomethingAwful:

Some understandable confusion going on about #18, I'll try and set a few things straight if memory serves (which I can't help but think is a gamble at this point).

-Whoever was in the mask attacked me. He pushed me against the door that was locked behind me and pulled me down on the floor. I don't remember much of what he did after that, I was in a daze because I had hit my head on the floor.

-After he had what looked like some kind of seizure, I tried to take his mask off. He pushed me off surprisingly hard and I stumbled backwards and fell.

-The knife I had with me was still in my pocket when I headed for the back door. Then it wasn't when I woke up in my car.

I'm still feeling very sore from it all. My head is killing me.

HyenaGod (UF) writes:

hey, I was wondering since your knife is missing in entry 18, did you stab that masked person you caught on film?

Not sure, but I doubt it.

From Degrading to De-grading: A Synopsis

Hello all, and by all I mean the one person that actually reads this. If you look at the timestamps of my previous posts you will probably notice that I took a brief (not-so-brief) hiatus from doing these and that his been mostly my fault, but comes with some good reasoning. In between my highly unpredictable sleeping patterns paired with the work I have been doing for my other classes, my work ethic for this class has been less than pleasing. But I am going to try to get back on track and crank out these tumblr posts to the current date, so expect a lot of these coming to a URL near you.

So what we have here is a essay by a Mr. Alfie Kohn presenting the idea that grading students may be more of a hindrance to their learning than not doing so. He presents many different arguments that is both easy to understand and cited (good stuff). Me being a student with, at this point in my life, many years of traditional schooling under my belt, I have been able to see the best and the worst of teaching styles. But me also being only one person who has since developed an opinion and favored style, I have formed a bias as well. I really enjoy teachers that have a laissez-fair approach to their grading. I also have certain reservations that are not the fault of the teacher themselves, but just the incompatibility between them and the common-core itself.

Taking the stress of being graded on every little thing away from a student makes us all breathe a deep sigh of relief for two reasons really. This style usually comes with some of the coolest teachers/professors we will ever have and it takes away some of the stress that comes with having a multitude of other classes that usually get stacked on top of each other. Personally, when I don’t have to worry about getting work done for classes either before coming to the class or just having a metric ton of homework with odd deadlines, I feel more motivated to learn more about the subject in my free time, at my own pace. Whether that be looking ahead at whats to come and getting a head start, or just going back through what was done previously and really solidifying that knowledge. I am, as you so obviously already know, into physics at a pretty deep level. I find that in my free time, I enjoy learning more about my craft and even reading books about wild theories or whatever. If you know me personally this comes as quite a shock, reading books, because in high school, I for what reason, absolutely refused to be held to a ridiculous deadline such as reading 5 chapters of a complex book and annotating it in a single night. But because my schedule this semester is relatively light, at least in comparison to what it was last semester, I am able to dive headlong into my person education and even explore hobbies I haven’t been able to enjoy for while.

The only problem I can find with this teaching style is not that its ineffective in any way, because it truly does help my peers and I, its the fact that i doesn’t work well with the common-core or under-motivated kids. The common-core is a big scary monster that should scare the shit out of teachers that really care about their students, or those who care about individuality in general. While in high school, I was able to predict the outcome of myself and others lives based on a series of numbers given to us for completing tasks in classes that either would or would not benefit us later in life. The truth is, if you are not someone who takes an overwhelming interest in a subject or have a natural inclination for reading or numbers or whatever it may be, it is likely that will be your weak point. For me it was English classes and it definitely showed in my overall class grades. The other truth is, that doesn’t mean you HAVE to get a terrible grade. I didn’t care much for English but I still gave it the good ole college try and pulled a B from it. Not having a whole lot of grades won’t do too much for those who really don’t care about doing well in school, which accounts for the majority of most high school students, you know the ones, the 50th percentile and so on. Whether or not they have a whole lot of grades to keep them honest or not, they will still not pay attention and still do bad on the tests. At least with having looked over the copious amount of worksheets they may somehow be able to recall something come test time.

All in all (we’re just another brink in the wall) it really comes down to what the students prefer, and the overwhelmingly of us like not being reduced down to numbers.
