#then we can go for the current stuff

[iwacura]

okay im trying to do a more systematic reading of theory, instead of the utter chaos of "reading whatever falls into my hands" starting by revisiting marx. and then continuing with the rest of the first international. this is going to take so long. this summer is gonna be marx summer though.

So because of the length of the new DW seasons, Ncuti has been doctor for I believe only 5 more episodes than Christopher Eccleston. Now I love 9 he is one of my favourite Doctors I think it’s an absolute crime he didn’t get more time and the situation around that is criminal too, but I’m gonna put that aside for a second.

A Doctor who has had 2 companions, the return of multiple major Classic Who characters, references to the MASSIVE lore changes during the previous era, as well as involvement in currently two specials has FIVE more episodes than one of the shortest incarnations of the Doctor.

Now I can’t find anything concrete that Ncuti’s run is ending after this season, only comments that he hasn’t been ‘axed’ but no dispelling of the rumours of regeneration (or show cancellation lets be real), but if he is leaving??? That feels so wrong.

The length of these seasons is appalling we don’t get enough time to develop ANYONE properly, almost every episode seems to be out competing the others, and the huge classic Who things the entire fandom is talking about have taken place over what is to be THREE episodes. Obviously they’ll likely continue into possibly further seasons but now? With Ncuti? With Varada? It’s three episodes.

Eight episodes will NEVER be enough to tell stories like these. Longer seasons allow for an episode or two that feel a little out of character because we have enough to come back around with whereas eight episodes doesn’t do that - Belinda’s immediate forgiveness and affection after seeing the Doctor torture someone is the best example so far, she literally Would Not Act Like That.

I hope this isn’t the end for Ncuti, him as the Doctor is what’s keeping me watching every week because I LOVE where he’s taking it. I just wish the plot and scripts allowed for more exploration of his version of the character and his wants and wishes (lol) and Ruby and Belinda’s character arcs (if you can even call them that).

I hope I eat my words I hope he gets more time I hope characters start to feel fully fleshed out. Mostly I hope we see the end of 8 episode seasons and go back to actual creative freedom and not a streaming set up show. I hope a lot of things.

A few months back, I asked if it was okay to write using Clora and Seb. Finished the work - thought I'd lost it on my hard drive and a virus scan located it.

Not sure if it's sad or happy, but the basic premise of it is Clora getting frustrated/upset at Sebastian and Sebastian comforting her, Sebastian getting upset at a predicament Clora's in and Clora comforting him, and them both getting frustrated/upset and having to comfort each other.

If you'd rather I didn't post it, that's fine too, but just wanted to test the waters and double check that you'd be okay with it if I gifted it to you via AO3, or see if you wanted a sneak peak of it before posting it.

OMG im so happy you were able to find it and recover the work you did!!😭🙏 AND YES OF COURSE YOU CAN POST IT AAA I CANT WAIT TO READ IT!! you can DM it to me first if you want, but i also dont mind if you post it straight away on ao3!! IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SM AAARGHHHA💖💖💖IT SOUNDS ANGSTY WE LOVE THE HURT/COMFORT I HOPE MY HEART CAN HANDLE IT🥺💖💖TY AGAIN FOR USING CLORA AND SEB AND TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT THEM😭

@sunshine-goblin AAA THANK YOU!!! im honoured its your fav fanfic AND ALSO THE LONGEST YOUVE READ BAHAHAA fr, when you say its as long as four books in lotr it rly makes me realize how insane i am😃👍 aw IM GLAD I COULD INSPIRE YOU TO DRAW MORE AND WRITE AS WELL😭 I was curious so i creeped you and everyone go look at their HL blog @sunshines-legacy your MC is so cute and so is your art🥹💖 as for tips on writing a longfic and brainstorming and motivation and stuff, my motivation was my brainrot and unhappiness with the canon story/ending LMAOO, and looking at the story of the game and playing around with what i was unhappy with/what i WISHED could have happened instead, was a lot easier than just coming up with plotlines from scratch. but something i highly recommend is just OUTLINING and making a timeline, one of my fav parts of writing was just putting on some cafe ambience in the background and doing stream of conscious type word documents where id just barf ideas and then worry about making it pretty later....like look at how many versions of the same chapter i have BAHAHA or like different renditions bc i couldnt decide if id wanna keep a scene/what order, so id make a timeline and keep smoothing things out until i was happy with it and whatnot

brainstorming is defs my fav part of the process and the most helpful part to me. just getting a blank document and writing stuff you want to happen without worrying about how it connects to the story, and then a lot of the times as i was doing that id just keep going and it would kinda tie itself together/id come up with a solution as i was writing / once the ideas kept flowing. so basically : TIMELINES AND OUTLINES I VERY MUCH RECOMMEND, but very low pressure and barebones ones. for example, this is what my outlines/brainstorming look like

its honestly just me talking to myself LMAO, and a lot of the time ill interject and be like "OH YEAH AND THEN THIS CAN HAPPEN" as the ideas come while im writing BAHAHA. its a super fun process and honestly nothing feels better than just getting hit with that flash of inspo, and since its all very low effort theres no pressure to actually write well and its just a chill fun time AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR OWN PROCESS / WRITING💖💖💖it can be difficult but HOPE U HAVE FUN TOO💖💖

@a-little-lysdexic WAIT REALLY?? LMFAOO OMG THATS CRAZY....SAME BRAIN...🤝🤝...that would trip me up so much if i were you omg BAHHAHA but aside from having similar tastes in names, IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY ART AS WELL, TYY💖💖💖

THANK YOUUU im glad you're liking it!!! and that its taking over your life BAHAHA💖💖 the video you're thinking of was by @silverxstardust for chapter 13 of my fic, and you can watch the video here! (AND TY AGAIN TO SILVERXSTARDUST FOR DOING THIS!)

feelin real foolish for stocking up on trick or treat supplies instead of groceries over the last two months

[caffeccino]

Madohomu headcanons? :3

I used to be so much more fun about this, but in my thirties, having rewatched it, I think Homura was already looking up how to build a bomb before she met Madoka 😱

[b-blushes]

Ough my friends. (as you may be able to tell from my uhhh recent posting and lack of regular tumblr activity) i'm unfortunately in the scramble zone again! over the next three weeks i'm meeting 3 new specialists (2 of which i need to travel significantly for. crunching me mental AND physical style.) and the next fortnight i've gotta keep a granular symptoms/activity log (which is Very Emotionally Challenging due to the necessity of being actively aware of the disabilities for all the waking hours) and as such my internal monologue is starting to fade in and out! if i'm lacklustre chatting/replying etc, it's nothing personal, i'm in the pear wiggler (the symptoms syndromes are somewhat crushing me and i'm also struggling to think straight due to the horrors - sometimes i just don't really have words in my head like i normally do so it's very hard for me to chat. it's mostly just static in there with some blank awe and wonder when i take myself out to sit in the garden and gaze at beautiful things :') )

someday (hopefully soon) i will be out of the struggle zone and BIG BEAUTIFUL LIFE will be much more visible!!!! <3 i can't tell you enough how having friends who see me where i'm at and who i can just be and click with rather than having to explain and uhhh contextualise everything makes such a difference to me, especially when i'm being so Chronically Ill and disabled <3 also it's my freaking BIRTHDAY on thursday and it's forecast to rain which does not bode well for my annual birthday very special guy day-trip to the beach but we continueeeeee :') wishing the weather a very cool down but sun comes out and everybody a very lovely june <3 (i'll still be online and in touch i just don't know how 'good' i will be :P)

any news on other parts of the toyhouse being archived? i dont really join discord servers linked to things like this & would like to know if us here on tumblr will have access.

we have everything i can think of in regards to the toyhouse saved currently! i dont have it all organized in the google drive were wokring on yet though.

so far i have everything from my darkermatters archive reorganized there, all the character icons, and screenshots and html downloads of all the character pages, minus cometcare stuff as me and rainbowmewz were working on that in a different drive initially, so we still have to move that over. everything else has been saved by other people, and will be added to the larger drive eventually

@dawn-ward (hope its alright to tag you!) has made archives of the side story images (it has everything that isnt sparklecare, cometcare, or darkermatters), and the fics.

and heres the link to the servers google drive, though again, its a massive work in progress currently and is missing a lot that we still have to upload and organize there specifically

someone in the server has all of the sparklecare and cometcare images downloaded, so were just waiting on them to upload it somewhere in regards to that

EDIT: all of the toyhouse stuff has been added!

okay so the effects of the ibuprofen start wearing off after about 8 hours, at which point our symptoms start getting really bad again, but at least once it kicks in we get relief pretty quickly and it seems to work really well.

we have a rash on our face that's been really red and sore and a few hours after taking the ibuprofen it looked like it'd almost completely vanished, but it started coming back again once the meds wore off, along with our sinuses and eyes getting really painful and our mouth getting so dry we can't swallow food without having water with it.

we've also got blepharitis in our left eye which we've had for a few days because we get it almost every time the rest of these symptoms flare up. holding a warm, damp cloth against our eye for a bit seems to help, but we also have to keep cleaning our eyelids which seems to also relief some of the irritation and pain.

I'm trying to take more breaks in the middle of doing stuff to get up, clean our eyes, drink a bunch of water with electrolyte mix, get a warm damp cloth to help with the eye and sinus pain, moisturise any especially dry skin, etc, and it sucks that managing a symptom flare that's absolutely wrecking our energy levels and ability to function requires using more energy to get up and do stuff that helps (and to remember to do that stuff) but I am proud of myself for how well I'm doing with it

i love those fanarts where two killers swap weapons and each have to adjust to their buddy's power. ive tried to imagine a caleb-kazan weapon swap (they're best friends in my mind). i think kazan would probably enjoy using a gun but caleb is gonna try to pick up kazan's big ass kanabō and end up like this

[girlvinland]

Today was. A really good day! I want expecting that, but I got to talk to my advisor and it made me feel a lot better about some things I was kind of nervous about. Also had a med adjustment the other day and so far it feels nice? I’m just super hungry rn though and also why is it like 80F outside 😭

Does Yabureme ever have flashbacks or get more protective over Toga since she is just a kid, barely older than his students were?

I don't think he'd protect her any more or less than he does the rest of the league. She can also handle herself really well, or at least acts like she can. At most he'd be looking out for the trouble she causes herself. He'd be watchful for her playing with her knives too carelessly, for instance.

how can they bring my books to my house on friday but i can go get them from the store on monday?

[gibbearish]

btw similar to the whole "if you try adderall at a party and it calms you down, get an adhd test" thing, if at some point in your life you try microdosing shrooms with a friend and end up feeling like a functional person for the first time in your life, get tested for depression. like yeah hallucinogens come with elation so youre probably gonna have some "this is the best ive ever felt in my life" vibes regardless, but like. if that in and of itself feels like finally breathing in for the first time in years, thats for sure a sign that something is up with your ability to process serotonin most of the time. feeling better than ever before should be a nice bonus, not a crushing weight off your chest

[altruistic-meme]

just applied for a part time job 😔 ough if im being honest
