I know there's different procedure for different fandoms, but to Doctor Who fans specifically - would you consider deleted scenes "canon"?

Bouquets for a Cricket Match

by Aelwyn
It all started out as a harmless anomaly reading as a favor to Lord President Borusa and, quite frankly, the Doctor needed the distraction. He couldn't admit it to himself, but Adric's loss had cut deep. Tegan had finally got to her beloved Heathrow job interview at the correct time (or so he thought) and Nyssa had asked to be dropped off at a convention of sorts for a week to figure out what she wanted to do, so his TARDIS was empty for the first time in... ooh, quite a long time, really.
He hadn't counted on his TARDIS having other plans that involved parallel universes.
The TARDIS, for her part, thought it was fortuitous that her Thief happened to be investigating a rip in the fabric of dimensional reality that enabled her to be led back to her Wolf. So what if he neither knew who she was yet nor wanted to be there? What the TARDIS wants, the TARDIS gets. Besides, their Wolf needs them - will need them - did need them.
So maybe the timing was a bit off. It wasn't the TARDIS' fault that temporal tenses were difficult.

we'll find a way

by phoebenavarro
Six months after the Squip, Jeremy is doing pretty good. He and Michael are closer than ever, he's dating Christine, and he's found genuine friendship with each person in the Squip Squad. Things aren't perfect; there are still days when one snide comment too many from the lingering voice of the Squip in his mind will send him into a tailspin, but he's coping.
The same can't be said for Peter. Peter, fresh off the grief of losing Jason, is a mess. He's isolated himself from everyone except Nadia. He's spiraling, and his mom is at a loss for what to do.
So she sends Peter to visit his cousin Jeremy, and together they have to find some way through.

Two Words to Keep
Fandom: Doctor Who Rating: T Pairing: The Doctor/Rose Tyler, Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler Chapters: 16/18 Read on AO3 here.
“This new body was all about words, but in that moment, the Doctor found himself struggling to find the right ones to say. He knew already that there were really only five that he absolutely needed to tell her - five words that would change their lives forever.”
A (sort of) season re-write centering around the Doctor’s touch telepathy and the many inconvenient ways that it gets between him and his companion, Rose Tyler. This work is based around Season 2 and the Tenth Doctor. It’s a sequel to “A Hand to Hold”, but can also be read as a stand-alone. This is NOT going to be a Doomsday fix-it fic, but there will be a separate Journey’s End fix-it sometime in the future.
Chapter Sixteen: Army of Ghosts & Doomsday (Part Two)
"You are proof," the Cyberleader later declared without any sort of prompting, "that emotions destroy you."
And, for the first time in his long life, the Doctor had to admit that the metal robot had a point. His emotions had always been an issue, ever since he had been a child - it was one of the reasons why he had originally left Gallifrey. And why did he even bother? What had emotions ever done for him except cause pain, hurt, and loss?
They also bring love, patience, and forgiveness, his bond hummed in reply as Rose reached with concerned curiosity when his morose mood began to seep across their connection.
And hope, he thought as he silently embraced her and solemnly vowed to not stop running until he had her back in his arms again. Always, always hope - especially when it came to Rose.
And it seemed that the universe was content to reward that hope as a group of six people dressed all in black and outfitted with guns and gas masks suddenly shimmered into existence out of thin air right before his eyes and immediately blasted all surrounding cybermen into smithereens.
The Doctor was shocked to see the familiar face of Jake Simmonds among them, but he was even more shocked when the young man flashed him an over-confident smile and hit the yellow button hanging from around his neck, which immediately transported them across dimensions to his own parallel version of Torchwood.
The Doctor barely had time to blink before the queasy feeling of being in an alternate universe hit him square in the gut and his mental bond with Rose was quickly and efficiently severed. The emptiness that he had felt in his head whenever he had been separated from her during one of their adventures in their home universe paled in comparison to what he felt now.
The broken bond was a physical, open wound in his mind and his ache for her nearly knocked the wind from his lungs as he stumbled clumsily on his feet and attempted to settle his dizzying thoughts. The Doctor pressed the heel of his hand to his temple in pain, as though it was a physical injury and he needed to stem the blood flow.
He was distantly aware of the fact that Jake was describing something to him, but the Doctor could suddenly care less about the impending collapse of all reality. All he knew was that he needed to get back to Rose - now.
"I've got to get back," the Doctor insisted desperately. "Rose is in danger, and her mother."
But then suddenly Pete Tyler himself - Vitex millionaire and apparent Torchwood executive - came strolling in and the Doctor silently rolled his eyes and wondered how many more times the combined universes were going to force him to watch this one, simple man die. Pete's easy dismissal of Rose and Jackie made the Doctor grit his teeth together in frustration as he silently cursed the entire human species (and the male sex specifically) for being incapable of thinking outside the parameters of a single reality.
However, Pete was good for one thing, at least - in that he was able to give the Doctor the full background story of the current mess that they were dealing with. It became clear relatively quickly that the dimension jumping was causing a huge disturbance in the fabric of reality and soon every parallel world would begin to suffer for it. That was, if any of the parallel worlds managed to survive the daleks and cybermen, who seemed determine to continue punching their way through reality in an attempt to exterminate/delete all sentient existence in their wake.
The Doctor shivered when they finally returned to his home universe. He could sense that Rose was still in the building - hovering somewhere just outside of his reach - but has he had suspected, their bond didn't immediately snap back into place, despite what he may have wished. With their connection so completely and viciously severed, he knew that they would need time and proximity to rebuild what had been broken.
He couldn't help but breathe a small sigh of relief when he finally strolled into the room that the daleks had taken up headquarters in and had the chance to lay eyes on her once more - Rose and Mickey, both of them still alive and well, at least for now. The wide smile she flashed him the second that her eyes landed on him gave the Doctor the swell of confidence that he needed to face off against one of his greatest foes, but he could see the questioning fear in her gaze as well. She had felt the bond snap just as severely as he had, and she had no idea what was going on.
"How are you?" he asked, grinning teasingly to disguise the fear and pain that still hummed in the back of his mind where he knew that his bondmate was meant to be.
"Oh, same old, you know," she replied casually, her smile not dimming in the least as he came to a halt as near to her as he dared. He knew that one wrong move on either of their parts could cause more pain than comfort with their broken mental bond lying in ruin between them.
But the Doctor's own discomfort had to be pushed aside as he faced off against the four daleks before him, who revealed themselves to be none other than the Cult of Skaro. Suddenly, he felt even more desperate than ever to learn the true meaning and purpose behind the Time Lord device that they referred to simply as the "genesis ark".
Strategizing against daleks had never been a particularly difficult task - they all basically had the same motivation and function: exterminate anything that was not dalek and destroy anything that got in their way. But the members of the Cult of Skaro were another story altogether - they had been created, brought up, and raised to think. The Doctor had never met them in the flesh before, but he thought that facing off against these four unassuming robots might just be his greatest feat yet.
However, even if the Doctor was never able to accomplish the monumental task that loomed before him, he could at least be satisfied with the consolation prize of being responsible for the reuniting of Rose's parents. He wished very dearly that he had still been connected with Rose in that moment, just to be able to share with her in her emotions as she watched her mother and father from two different universes embrace one another.
The Doctor had to settle, instead, for taking her hand in his and meeting her eyes in a silent vow to fix all that had been broken between them. As Rose squeezed his fingers and met his gaze, he could feel her attempting to reach for his thoughts with her own, but he had already constructed a careful barrier around his mind, burying his severed link deep within where she wouldn't be able to find it.
Rose furrowed her brow at him in silent question, but he knew that there wasn't time to explain to her the intricacies of telepathic bonds and how mending them could be like setting a broken bone - getting it wrong could cause devastating, irreparable effects later.
So the Doctor was forced to settle once again as he leaned forward and pressed a quick, comforting kiss to her forehead instead. "Later," was his only whispered promise as he squeezed her fingers tight and then rushed forward to lead them all off further into the Torchwood Tower.
The seed of an idea in his head was beginning to take root and the Doctor thought that he just might be able to save all of them, the entire planet, and all of reality along with it, if he could just manage to work out the last, drastic kinks - namely, how to keep Rose at his side when the universe seemed determined to rip them apart.

write abt the music that reminds you of jake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HOPE YOU’RE READY FOR THIS THREE-PART ANALYSIS
warning: it’s super long. i hope read mores work on mobile. if not, i am so sorry if you are reading this on mobile.
part i: i guess i should start with the things on my playlist (with the exception of green day, because green day gets a whole section)
i’m just gonna go song-by-song (well, artist-by-artist) on this and try to explain my reasoning for each song pretty succinctly (though again, i’m saving all the green day ones for the end.) so, starting from the beginning!
prelude/angry young man, no man’s land, and shades of grey – billy joel
i’ll be honest, i was debating whether or not to add “prelude/angry young man,” just because the musical vibes itself don’t quite fit fit jake – but the lyrics fit him so well that i had to include it. ( and he’s never been able to learn from mistakes / so he can’t understand why his heart always breaks ) while “no man’s land” doesn’t remind me of jake specifically, it seems relevant to the class issues, media monopolies, and media addictions that plague pete’s world and that jake feels particularly concerned with ( i see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares / … / thanks to the condo kings, there’s cable now in zombietown ). and “shades of grey,” for me, fits the ideological growth jake goes through over the course of the war and getting to know mickey, and that continues on as he gets older and deals with more morally gray situations in torchwood. while i typically write him still more radical and self-righteous than the speaker in the song, it fits one of his major character arcs: these days it’s harder to say / i know what i’m fighting for / my faith is falling away / i’m not that sure anymore.
anarchy in the UK – the sex pistols
honestly. classic british anarchist song. it’s gotta be included. though it pains my heart to remember that pete’s world has the people’s republic of great britain and isn’t a monarchy, so the sex pistols never released “god save the queen” (and if they did, it would have been vastly different.) so jake simmonds, who went through an anarchist phase in university and continues to be very into anarchist punk, has never heard “anarchy in the UK.” please hold him in your heart the next time you hear the sex pistols.
runnin’ riot – cock sparrer
violence? self-destructive behavior? anger at the rich? constant desire to start fights? what about this song doesn’t scream jake simmonds? (other than the fact that the band is from the south, of course. jake would hate to be mistaken for a southerner.)
viva la revolution – the adicts
celebrating revolutions? emphasizing freedom of thought? enough said
london’s burning and london calling – the clash
okay honestly half the reason i included “london calling” is just because it was the soundtrack for the scene in billy elliot where tony is chased + arrested by the police, and jake relates to tony just about as much as he relates to billy. but it does also seem like the kind of marching, rhythmic song that would fit scenes of marching cybermen ( london calling to the zombies of death / quit holding out and draw another breath. ) “london’s burning” just seems to fit jake’s general london aesthetic – watching people zone out to media while he sits around and bides his time.
random number generation – hedwig and the angry inch
i’m going to talk some more about hedwig later on, but “random number generation” in particular reminds me of jake and the cybermen, with the combination of punk rock and programming the human brain ( all of our feelings and thoughts / expressed in ones and in aughts )
sucker punch – jonathan coulton
this song makes me think a lot of jake and the preachers ( third location and a second-string team and one awful plan ). but honestly, the whole song is about getting into fights, breaking things to relieve stress, and fully embracing self-destructive behaviors ( i don’t wanna straighten up / i don’t wanna fly right / i just wanna drive around a while and / bust a couple things up with the bad kids / / and i feel better already, and i feel better already ). it’s jake in a nutshell.
sheep – pink floyd
i remember reading on tvtropes once that age of steel actually references pink floyd’s animals, which is the album this song comes from; there’s a shot of battersea power station in the episode that’s really similar to the album cover. “sheep” in particular fits the cybermen to a T. it produced the description for my blog until i changed it today. ( what do you get for pretending the danger’s not real? / meek and obedient, you follow the leader / down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel. )
part ii: the musical soundtrack to jake’s life, because i’m theatre trash
billy elliot
so if you’ve spoken to me for 5 minutes about billy elliot, you’ve probably realized that a) i love billy elliot b) jake loves billy elliot. now, jake probably hasn’t seen the musical (though i can imagine, if pete tyler bought a bunch of tickets as part of a “look at me i’m cultured” thing, jake wouldn’t mind going along just to see what it was like.) but there are a couple of songs that just really remind me of jake – “solidarity,” given that half of it is literally striking miners clashing with the police; “he could be a star” makes jake a little embarrassedly emotional whenever i listened to it, just because of how much he relates to tony and how strongly he believes in communities coming together.
hedwig and the angry inch
hedwig is the one musical that i feel that jake would actually really like (that and american idiot, maybe, bc green day.) but a couple of songs in particular remind me a lot of him. jake is sort of unreasonably attached to the idea of soulmates, though he would never say as much, and he finds most portrayals of the soulmates concept cheesy. but he does think that sometimes, two people click in a way where it’s clear that some kind of fate brought them together, and it’s not just that they bring out the best in each other – they bring out the essence of each other, for good or bad. (cough no i’m not talking about mickey cough.) so “the origin of love” gets him pretty emotional; i’ve been toying around with the headcanon that jake’s got a sun tattooed on his wrist, in reference for aristophanes’ children of the sun.
but!! the song that i really associate with jake, the one that basically sums up my eventual goals for his future happiness, is the reprise of “wicked little town” (+ “midnight radio,” since they more or less go together.) coming to terms with being left by the person you consider (openly or not) your other half, and with the idea that “there’s no mystical design / no cosmic lover preassigned.” in “midnight radio,” coming to terms with being whole on your own, not needing someone else to convince you of it.
part iii: did you know i never used to be into green day until college?? who would have thought, looking at me now
okay, so if you’ve spoken to me for five minutes or looked at my blog playlist for five seconds, you’ve probably also realized that i really strongly associate jake with green day. now, originally i associated him most with american idiot, in part because it was the only green day album i knew for a long time – and let’s be real, one nation controlled by the media is like.... literally pete’s world. the songs from american idiot i still associate with jake are “st. jimmy” because of – like many of the songs on the list! – the self-destructive behavior (and hence why i took the URL for my second blog from the line i’m the resident leader of the lost and found,) and a section of “homecoming” (mostly because of how it’s staged in the musical, with the one major character who’s been left out of all the action sitting on his couch, getting drunk, and snarling at himself nobody likes you / everyone’s left you / they’re all out without you / having fun.) oh, and “give me novocaine” – escapism and addiction, what what.
the second green day album i associate with jake is revolution radio. i mean, with so many songs about sticking it to the Man, is it much of a surprise? the title song is apropos for the preachers: compare a group named because they preach “the gospel truth” to give me ... the headline ‘legalize the truth’. if i had any kind of animation skills or the dedication to follow through with an animation project, i’ve had a vague idea for an animation set to “say goodbye” ft. traveling the world, fighting cybermen, and mourning the preachers. say goodbye to the ones you love cuts to a photo of ricky, and mickey saying goodbye to rita-anne; violence on the rise / like a bullet in the skies has the boys trying not to be, y’know, killed by cybermen or anything.
but again, there’s one song in particular that makes me think of jake, and that’s “bang bang!” i saw an interview with andrew hayden-smith once for a behind-the-scenes doctor who thing, and he said something along the lines of jake joining the preachers and getting so into fighting lumic because he thinks it’s a bit of a laugh. now, i don’t totally agree with this – jake seemed pretty into the idea of executing pete tyler for working with lumic, and killing the guards who were guarding the zeppelin, and i think there’s some motivation for that other than just “lol murder is fun” – but jake does definitely enjoy the fighting, the conflict, more than he should. he grew up idolizing fighters, idolizing soldiers, idolizing people who use violent means for political ends. ( i wanna be a celebrity martyr / ... / i wanna be like the soldiers on the screen ) jake would make himself a martyr for the sake of the preachers’ cause; as much as he grieves ricky and mrs. moore’s deaths, he admires how they died. it’s how he wants to die: fighting, making a statement, going out in a blaze of glory. ( literally, in ricky’s case. haha. i’m terrible. )
finally, there’s one album that as a whole makes me think of jake, and that’s 21st century breakdown. its aesthetic, the styles of music, the themes intertwined throughout the album – media control (”the static age,”) religion & doubt (”east jesus nowhere,”) war and patriotism (”peacemaker,” “21 guns,”) abandonment and self-loathing (”restless heart syndrome”) – all resonate strongly with jake. (also, the kind of wistful loyalty in “last night on earth” makes it very much the kind of love song jake would listen to while lying face-first on his bed and having Feelings about the person he’s in love with. just sayin’.)
finally, “know your enemy” is such a jake song. he’d play it to motivate people before going up against cybermen. he’d play it to pump himself up before a fight. he’d listen to it during training. he’d play it while getting ready in the morning and headbang so hard he accidentally headbutts the sink. that punk rock marching anthem, that call to violence, the stamp-your-boots-on-the-floor rhythm – they all work together to make me instantly think of jake whenever this song comes on.
IN SUMMARY:
hell yeah punk rock!! revolution!! self-destruction!! (don’t follow jake’s example kids!!) if you’ve read all the way to the end, i admire your dedication. i don’t know how interesting it is or how much sense it makes, since i’ve also been half-watching death note while writing most of this, but i really enjoyed writing it. jake is a punk mess. i love him.

LIW Review: Lovely Little Losers
Much as I love NMTD as my favorite adaptation of my favorite Shakespeare play, LBD for introducing me to the genre and the genre to the world, and so many other literary-inspired webseries for so many reasons, Lovely Little Losers will always be my favorite.
The premise is simple: Benedick, Balthazar, and Pedro (now going by Peter) from Nothing Much To Do are going to university in Wellington and living in a flat together with the lovely and awkward Freddie Kingston. Freddie and Ben decide to impose some order on the flat with a set of absurd flat rules that everyone has to follow, including a curfew, vegetarianism (and vegan Fridays), Ben getting to film everything, imposed flat bonding in the form of challenges, and the worst rule of all, no romantic relationships, aka no shenanigans.
The series is loosely based on Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost, but in reality there are only about five episodes that have anything to do with the plot of the original play. Apart from those moments, the inspiration mostly just creates the premise and the names of certain characters.
Plot overview:
Freddie, Benedick, Peter, and Balthazar sign a bunch of ridiculous flat rules that at first seem like a good idea and quickly spiral out of control. Then Beatrice and Meg decide to road trip to Wellington, where, due to The Rules, they end of sleeping in a tent in the back garden along with Kit, another friend of the flat. It’s hard to say more about the actual plot without spoilers, since it’s barely revealed what’s been going on until almost the end (starting around “SARDINES” and going until “FEATHERS”), so I’ll move on to my other categories.
Format:
All actual episodes are posted on the Lovely Little Losers YouTube channel, with Ben as the main (unreliable) narrator, Meg as secondary (mostly reliable) narrator, and other characters (such as Beatrice and Peter) occasionally filming/uploading videos as well. Fifteen videos are devoted to “Balth in a Bath,” which was all filmed on the same day in February but is uploaded sporadically throughout the year. There are also between fourteen and seventeen song videos, depending on how you define “song” (more on that later). There are also a few extras on other YouTube channels that, while not technically part of the story, help illuminate things considerably (the channel I’m referring to here is Zoos Job, though there are also two videos on the Nothing Much To Do channel).
How to watch LoLiLo:
This is ordinarily not one of my categories, but in this case it is very necessary. You MUST read the video descriptions, and also check the comments section, to have ANY idea what’s really going on here, and even then most of it’s going to be subtext. You can watch the series either in the order it was intended to be watched in or in chronological order (which ruins a little of the mystery but averts a Zoos Job marathon later on. Links to both playlists are below). Keep in mind that Benedick is the narrator of nearly the whole thing, and that he is editing the content to fit his own agenda – the one @beatriceeagle calls “Project Birdy-Fingers.” This means that two-thirds of the love stories in LoLiLo are almost entirely hidden from the viewers and once again need to be read through subtext.
Realism:
Off the charts dedicated. This series has a much more experimental style than NMTD – several episodes use more than one camera angle, nearly every episodes has multiple characters in it, and is frequently filmed over multiple days and edited into non-chronological order – but there is still always a reason for the camera to be there and always a reason, in-universe, for it to have been edited and uploaded the way it was. This dedication to realism made things that much more difficult for The Candle Wasters, but it also adds hugely to the value of the series.
Music:
As I mentioned above, many, many episodes of LLL are actually songs. The series has been referred to by many people as a “secret musical” because of this. 11 songs are almost entirely character development. “A Merry Note” was written by Shakespeare and was mostly The Candle Wasters being clever and making us think our ship had sailed. “Heaven in Her Lips” is a cute love song. “Stay” is secretly plot, though the lyrics also assist in understanding “one foot on sea one on shore one in the boiling hot lava,” which is the real first episode of LoLiLo. Then we get to the question of whether certain other videos are songs. “Berry Nice,” while a Balth in a Bath episode, is clearly a song. But what about “Beatrice and Ballads,” which is essentially the reprise of “Beatrice, You’re Vivacious”? What about “A Sonnet,” which, although not a song, is the inverse of “An Ode” and should therefore be included for the sake of symmetry? Of course, the numbers don’t matter, because the songs are amazing. The songs themselves were mainly written by Reuben Hudson, Elsie Bollinger, and Maude Morris, with some help from other writers, and are performed mostly by Reuben Hudson and Mouce Young, with help from most of the rest of the cast.
Representation/diversity:
Very strong. Several characters are not white at all (Kit and Jaquie), and race just generally is a non-issue. LGBT representation is also great, especially for a pre-2016 webseries: Peter is now openly bisexual, Balthazar actually uses the word “gay” to describe himself, Paige and Chelsey are a lesbian couple who have basically the only functional relationship in the whole series, and the sexuality of several other characters (Kit, Freddie, Costa, Vegan Fred), is never defined, though I headcanon them all as bi. Though there are no disabled characters, there are extensive explorations of mental health issues, though as usual for The Candle Wasters, this is largely in subtext. Also, people actually talk about money in this and have realistic issues with money, which is a nice change from every other webseries I’ve seen.
Film quality:
Fantabulous, especially since The Candle Wasters had an actual budget for this series. As mentioned before, there are even episodes shot with multiple cameras THAT ACTUALLY WORK. Yay for realism and quality combined is all I can say.
My three favorite things about Lovely Little Losers:
1) My two favorite episodes, “RUSSIANFUDGE” and “ACCOSTED”
2) Balth in a Bath, because Balth in a Bath is perfect and innocent and lovely and actually includes a lot of exposition and character/relationship development that doesn’t exist anywhere else.
3) The fact that I keep getting more out of it on every rewatch – and I have now seen this thing in full ten times, though it’s been more like twenty for some episodes (”TEA,” “RUSSIANFUDGE”), and I have no idea how many times I’ve watched/listened to some of the songs.
Difficult things about Lovely Little Losers:
On first viewing it can be almost impossible to understand what’s going on almost all the time, and it can be easy to skip things because the series seems largely plotless. Do not give up hope! There is indeed a plot, but you have to hunt for it. If you finish the series and still feel confused or dissatisfied, I recommend a rewatch and @beatriceeagle and @marydebenham ‘s LLL rewatch metas, which have been invaluable for many the confused/dissatisfied viewer. It can also be frustrating that certain things (like apologies) are never said on camera, but we can blame realism for that.
All I can say is, despite its surface flaws, LoLiLo is not only my favorite webseries but also only of my favorite pieces of literature of all time. There’s so much here, in character, in content, and in theme, and I could talk about it for ages more than I already have. Although on first viewing I had no idea what to make of it, I now give LLL a solid and glowing 5/5 stars.

Hi! Sorry if this is a weird question or whatever, but could you tell me a little about the Flyers? Like fun facts, some of your favorite players, stuff like that? :)
hi!!! first off– not weird! i am approximately 200% of the time always willing to talk about the philadelphia flyers! secondly, if i may, @the-ghost-bear recently made this post and it’s an awesome thing to check out for some insight and humor on players that are detrimental to the (current and) near future of the flyers, so 10/10 do recommend giving it a read! i’m not really gonna include many of the players on that post tbh!!
so with that said, onto some of my favorite orange boys and my favorite things about the team…
jake voracek–
actually a garbage man, taking out the trash for us. one of our highest scorers the past few seasons since i started really watching. my second favorite beard in the league (behind brent burns, but we’ll save my crying about the sharks for another day!). one of our surprisingly many gingers, bc the flyers aren’t orange enough, i guess. petting his hair may or may not be on my bucket list. probably going to become cousin it from addams family at some point? apparently a big bruce springsteen fan who takes his teammates to see the boss in concert which is one of my favorite things about him from one big boss fan to another. probably not relevant to everyone’s interests but.
wayne simmonds–
ALL STAR MVP WAYNE THE TRAIN SIMMONDS. pk subban wisely advises you should never fight wayne simmonds. shayne gostisbehere wisely advises you should never prank wayne simmonds. they are both very smart men. campaigned for the 2017 all star weekend with puppies, so if he’s not Your Fave, you’re probably wrong. a good canadian and 100% one of philadelphia’s top 5 favorite humans in existence. he deserves so much. sass level 100.
brandon manning–
i feel like it’s just important to give him a shout out for being soft and sweet and shy and according to @cneuvvora he smells good so is he the perfect man? probably. imo very underappreciated on the whole which is sad. if you take anything from this answer, it’s to go give brandon manning some love.
claude giroux–
you may recognize him as having been captain of team canada for worlds this year but truly he is the captain of my heart. you also may recognize him from “fuckin pigeon” bc truly top 5 hockey chirps. appropriately, also a ginger. maybe was not the best player this year (he had hip surgery last summer tho) but at least he has this skill going for him. mostly just wants to love you. unarguably has the best fiancee (ryanne breton check her out it won’t be a mistake) and the best dogs (who ryanne just made an instagram for harvandcharlie 100% worth a follow). got absolutely hilariously punched in the face by fellow flyer radko gudas during worlds and i laugh so hard i cry every time i see that gif.
brayden schenn–
you don’t even really want me to start talking about brayden schenn because i will legitimately go on for hours probably whilst crying. he’s a good soft canadian boy who loves food and has the brightest smile i’ve ever seen (HE SMOOSH HIS NOSE I’M!!!! so sorry i’m like this…) and allie’s post i linked above does a great job at talking about him. he is my #1 favorite flyer, though. that’s probably obvious.
michal neuvirth–
i’ve heard a lot of speculation we only resigned him to get rid of him in the expansion draft. i’m not going to get into all of that though. he’s still a flyer at least for now right!!! but regardless, he is one of my absolute favorite flyers and in my top 3 favorite goalies no matter where he ends up at any point in his career. one third of our czech connection he is dating radko gudas’ sister and i have no doubt they are going to have one of the cutest babies i’ve ever seen soon (at least, i don’t think the baby was born yet, but it’s gotta be soon??? correct me if i’m wrong). he just seems like one of the sweetest guys ever and this post is very accurate. sounds really lovely speaking czech. i just want the world to appreciate michal neuvirth.
michael raffl–
brayden schenn’s bromo as far as i’m concerned. the victim of one of my personal favorite videos in existence. got injured and didn’t play the last chunk of the season and i miss him A Lot. yet another ginger; it’s frankly absurd how many gingers we have. would anyone back me up if i started a conspiracy theory about the flyers collecting gingers? also, apparently a supermodel sometimes. idk he’s just a good funny dude and not a bad player at all!!
honestly i wish the flyers did more as far as behind the scenes/extras things, because they don’t have a lot and i’m blanking on any Quirky/Funny Flyers Things™? mostly, we cry a lot.
but they are a goofy group of boys who i love dearly
and who are just v soft and smiley
also travis konecny doesn’t know how to blow a kiss? important things to know. someone help this man.
great at sinning
probably should not take any jobs requiring them to spell after retirement
also kind of hot messes when it comes to video games (my favorite video of the flyers ever)
fellow flyers fans feel free to add on ur favorite flyers things!!
sorry this is probably v bad but i hope it at least made someone smile!!! (also none of the pics/gifs/vids or anything are mine just fyi in case anyone thinks otherwise i am just using them for reference about goofy orange boys thanks!)

Home for the Holidays: Chapter 3
Chapter 1; Chapter 2;
A @dwsecretsanta gift for @chocolatequeennk.
Characters: Ten x Rose; Jackie Tyler; Pete Tyler; Mickey Smith; Jake Simmonds; Donna Noble; Empress of the Racnoss; Lance Bennett
Rated: Teen (rating may change)
Tags: Doomsday Fixit; Runaway Bride rewrite; Angst; Hurt/Comfort; Separation; Eventual Christmas fluff; adventure
Summary: A Doomsday Fixit that also follows the events of the Runaway Bride.
Despite having the victory of the Battle of Canary Wharf behind them, Rose remains resentful that the Doctor tried to send her away after she promised she’d never leave him.
Chapter Summary: Rose and Donna attempt to take on the Racnoss.
Notes: Sorry to all for the loooong delay in getting this chapter up. This is the reason I really like to get everything written before I post.
As always, many thanks to my wonderful betas, @hellostarlight20 and MrsBertucci. You are both so brilliant!
And thanks to all who have taken the time to read, review, or leave kudos, or any combination of these!
Any recognizable dialogue comes from the Doctor Who episode, The Runaway Bride.
Also read at: AO3; FF.net; Teaspoon
***Please note: I have made some edits to Chapter One as a result of continuity issues with upcoming chapters, mostly dealing with the level of intimacy in the Rose's relationship with the Doctor.
HOWEVER!!!! Tumblr is being a pig and not allowing me to edit at this time. Please refer to the updated versions on AO3, FF.net, or Teaspoon. Sigh...
Home for the Holidays: Chapter 3
Rose and Donna clambered off the ladder and hurried along the cramped service corridor, pausing only to get their bearings. Spotting an opening in the wall, Rose slowed down and tiptoed up to it. She peeked through and found herself right behind a line of the Racnoss’s robot guards. Springing back and barely containing a squawk of fear, she wheeled away, moving as silently as possible, tugging an oblivious Donna with her.
“Blimey!” Donna whispered, unnerved, once they moved a safe distance down the corridor. “What happened? You’re as white as a sheet!”
“The robots… the ones up on the gangways? That’s them, right through there.”
“No. Way!”
Catching her breath, Rose gestured with her thumb. “So, we know the Empress is just over there, yeah, but how do we get to ‘er? Can’t exactly go out that way.”
“Have we even got the right corridor? There could be millions of them all over. The place is like a rabbit warren.”
“Nah, I’m pretty sure this is right. Why else would that robot have brought you here instead of in through one of the other doors? ‘Sides, there’s no time to turn back. Gotta keep moving forward, see where it takes us. C’mon, Donna,” Rose urged, breaking into a trot.
Donna dutifully gathered her skirts and followed close behind. “There’s a lot of running, isn’t there, when you’re with the Doctor?”
“Yeah, there is.” A wave of nostalgia swept over Rose, and she smiled. She did quite a bit of running in her position at Torchwood too, but it didn’t hold the same excitement it had when she had run with the Doctor’s hand in hers. “And look, Donna! There!” She pointed ahead of her to some stairs leading down to the left. “They look like they’re headin’ in the right direction!”
Rose and Donna crept down the stairs, and found themselves in a large storage room containing mops and buckets, and shelves full of spare parts for various pieces of industrial equipment. A crude, arched opening was cut into one wall. They could hear the voice of the Racnoss clearly through it.
“This must be it!” Donna stage whispered, as she crept up to the opening.
“Shhhh! Be careful!”
Donna bent her head around the opening.
“What do you see?”
Donna turned back, her face animated with excitement. “This is it! She’s out there. Right - bloody - there! I think this must be the same passage that wanker ex of mine used earlier.”
“Lemme see?” Rose nudged Donna aside, and peeked out.
There were a couple of stairs leading up out of the opening, then several more to the right, leading to yet another staircase down to a large, raised platform where the Racnoss stood. Beyond the Racnoss, down at floor level, Rose could see the large, circular pit in the floor, and beyond that, the laboratory. She noted, with a sense of relief, the two robots that had been standing with the Racnoss earlier were no longer there. Presumably they had been the ones chosen to search for Donna. But she and Donna would still need to contend with the many robots standing guard on the elevated gangways. They would just have to hope for a bit of luck.
She swallowed hard, attempting to calm her nerves. “Okay,” she beckoned to Donna with a twitch of her head, “the Racnoss will be expectin’ one of her robot blokes to deliver you to her, yeah?”
“Yeah, suppose so.”
“Well, that’s exactly what’s goin’ to happen. You’re gonna walk in front of me, so she doesn’t get too good a look at me, an’ I’ll have a hold of your arm. You gotta pretend you’re fightin’ me, yeah?”
“And we’re just gonna walk right up to her and… what?”
“Yeah, that’s where my plan gets a little sketchy, I’m afraid. Are ya in?”
Donna nodded, swallowing hard. “Well, I’m not letting you go out there on your own.”
“Thanks, Donna. Whew,” she rubbed her sweaty palms on her denims, settled the metallic robot mask over her face, and adjusted the cloak so it covered her completely, “I hope she can’t smell fear, ‘cause if she can, this get-up won’t fool her for long.”
“Oh, don’t worry ‘bout that. She’ll just think it’s me… and she wouldn’t be wrong.” Donna’s uneasy smile confirmed her words.
“All right. This is it, Donna.” Rose took a deep breath, and clutched Donna’s arm, trying not to pinch down too hard, but hard enough to appear convincing to the Racnoss. “No more sneakin’ around. We have to go in like we mean it.”
“Well then, let’s do it!”
--oOo--
Rose had to hand it to Donna: the woman had guts! She broke into a tirade at Rose, as she feigned stumbling down the stairs toward the Racnoss Empress. Rose shoved her at appropriate times to make the scene seem realistic.
The Racnoss whipped her head around at the commotion. “Ah, the bride has returned: come to join her groom in holy, dreaded matrimony. Bring her to me,” the Empress demanded, turning her many black eyes toward them.
Rose quailed at the sheer size of the Racnoss. She was huge, imposing, so much larger than she had seemed earlier from the relative safety of the laboratory. Doubt seized her. Maybe she should have tried to find the Doctor, instead of thrusting herself and Donna on this misbegotten mission, straight into the clutches of the creature.
Lance’s sneer emanated from his prison, suspended in the web. “Didn’t think she’d get very far. She’s just that thick!”
Rose bristled at Lance’s tone and hissed in Donna’s ear. “You were engaged to that tosser?”
“I hate you!” Donna snarled at Lance.
“A bit late for that now, sweetheart.”
As the Racnoss turned to glare at Lance, Rose stepped forward with Donna. “I’m gonna push you toward her, but I need you to duck right out of the way, over there, off the edge of this platform, and try to find some cover. Can you do it?”
“Don’t have much of a choice, do I?” Donna shouted as though snarking at Lance, but effectively giving Rose the answer she needed.
“Oh, so feisty. I admire this one!” the Empress chortled. She swung her head back toward the groom. “You should treat her with more respect.”
As the Racnoss continued to berate Lance, Rose realized that was the best distraction she could hope for. Mentally bracing herself, she shoved Donna toward the Racnoss with a commanding, “Now!”
Donna stumbled and dropped to the ground, rolling herself to the edge of the platform. Snarling, the Racnoss wheeled around, and reached out with a long, red limb to snag her claw in Donna’s long white skirts, pinning her in place. Rose lifted the gun, from under her cloak, feigning aiming at the fallen bride. Her finger quivered on the trigger. Donna was screeching, being dragged back along the floor inch by inexorable inch toward the irate Empress. Rose would have to act fast, if she was to have any hope of freeing her. The Racnoss was currently distracted by Donna, but it wouldn’t be long before she noticed Rose wasn’t what she seemed to be, and the element of surprise would be lost.
Swinging around to aim at the Racnoss’s humanoid chest, Rose fired off a round of shots. She was jolted back by the force of the weapon’s recoil, toppling ungracefully onto her bum and getting the wind knocked out of her. The Racnoss swivelled her fierce head, baring her jagged teeth, but was otherwise unaffected by the bullets that had glanced uselessly off her thick exoskeleton. Rose’s stomach sank like lead as terror overwhelmed her
“And what do we have here?” the Empress wheezed, her many eyes fixed on Rose.
In that moment, Rose realized her hood and mask had become dislodged. There was an ominous shuffling as the robot guards all swivelled, pointing their weapons at her. The gig was most definitely up.
“A little girl playing dress-up?” Keeping one foot on Donna’s dress, the Racnoss extended another limb and flicked the rifle out of Rose’s hands. It went skittering across the floor, well out of Rose’s reach.
Rose shuffled backward, out of the range of the long limbs. She removed her mask, and as her eyes met Donna’s despairing gaze, she mouthed a heartfelt apology, guilt and shame washing over her.
Indifferent to the emotions of the humans, the Racnoss continued her commentary. “A sweet, tasty treat for my starving children.
“But now! Enough is enough. I grow impatient. The bride and the groom are both here. It is time they be joined together in their awful wedded life... Activate the particles. Purge every last one!” she bellowed.
Rose watched, enthralled, as Donna began to glow, the Huon energy pulsing from her body. A groan from above attracted Rose’s attention, and she saw Lance glow as well, though not as brightly.
“And release.” At the Empress’ command, the Huon energy streamed up from Donna’s body, rushing to meet the energy being purged from Lance. The two streams met in the air over the pit, before plunging to the centre of the Earth. “The secret heart unlocks, and they will waken from their Sleep of Ages! My children: the long lost Racnoss, now reborn to feast on flesh!”
Turning her attention to the ceiling, she shouted, “And now, the Web Star shall come to me.
“Oh, but my babies will be hungry. They need sustenance. Who shall be their first meal? The Bride, the Groom, or the pretty, little bridesmaid?”
At that moment, a burst of light from the pit indicated the Huon energy had reached its target, and the distant sounds of many chattering voices could be heard as the infant Racnoss ascended the shaft from the Earth’s core.
“The Groom, I think. You have been most impolite to your lady friend. The Empress does not approve.”
“No!” Rose scrambled to her feet. “Don’t do this! You don’t need to do this! We can help you. I… I represent Torchwood. We can find a way to help you. Find you a place where you and your children can live in peace.”
“Ahhh, yes, Torchwood. Torchwood has been very helpful already.” The Empress emitted a gargling chuckle. “They drilled this fine hole and provided me with everything I needed to create the Huon particles. But now, little girl, the only way they can help me is by filling the stomachs of my children.”
The Racnoss again directed her voice skyward. “Harvest the humans! Reduce them to meat.”
“Wait! What are you doing?” Donna yelped. “You can’t do that!”
“I think you’ll find I already am. The human race is being harvested, little human bride. Soon you will join them.”
“I don’t think so!” Panic in her eyes, Donna scrabbled onto her feet, hauling herself away from the clutches of the Racnoss, the sound of tearing fabric signaling her freedom. With the skirt of her gown in flowing in tatters behind her, she ran to Rose, taking up a position beside her, facing the Racnoss.
“Arrrggghhh!” the Empress screeched. “Do not think you can escape! You have nowhere to hide. You and all the humans on this wretched planet are worth nothing to me alive.”
“But you can’t…” Donna’s anguished voice trailed into nothingness.
Dread filled Rose at the thought of all the innocent lives being taken as she and Donna stood helpless to save even themselves. She put a comforting arm around the bride’s shoulders.
Suddenly distracted, the Racnoss swung her head toward the far end of the room, close to the laboratory, and Rose followed her gaze to where one of the robots could be seen moving up some stairs at the far side of the chamber. “My children are climbing towards me and none shall stop them. So you might as well unmask, my clever, little Doctor-man.”
Rose felt her mouth drop open in shock, as the robot removed its mask and cloak, revealing the brown-pinstriped form of the Doctor. With a loud, unified shuffling, the robot guards all redirected their attention away from Rose and Donna, and onto the Doctor.
“Oh well, nice try,” he quipped.
Rose couldn’t hold back the little sigh of longing that escaped her at the sight of him, so familiar, and yet so strange after his absence from her life for so many months. She flushed as she noticed Donna watching her with narrowed eyes, and pulled the hood of her cloak back up over her head, concealing herself from both Donna’s scrutiny and the Doctor.
She watched, fascinated, as the Doctor peered up at the webs where Lance hung, ensnared. “Now, first things first. Lance, I’ve got you.” He aimed his sonic screwdriver toward the web, loosening the strands.
The web started to give way, and Lance squirmed in fear. “What the hell are you playin’ at? You tryin’ to get me killed? I’m gonna fall!”
“Nope. You’re going to… swing!”
The webs released, leaving one long strand that Lance clung to, shouting in terror, as he swung down in a wide arc over the open pit, toward the Doctor.
“I’ve got you!” the Doctor called, his arms outspread to catch the groom. The strand of webbing was too long, however, and Lance was hurtled at high speed, his trajectory taking him several feet below the spot where the Doctor stood waiting. The Doctor grimaced at the loud clang Lance’s body made as he smashed against the metal railings and fell unconscious to the floor. “Oh… sorry.”
“Oh, my God!” Donna muttered.
The Racnoss surveyed Lance’s supine form, nonplussed, and began to cackle. “The Doctor-man amuses me.”
“C’mon, Donna.” Knowing instinctively the safest place to be was close to the Doctor, Rose grabbed Donna’s hand while the Racnoss was preoccupied. Desperately forcing herself to ignore the sound of some of the robots training their guns at them again, she hauled Donna to the edge of the platform, where they both sat down and pushed off, landing on the hard concrete floor below. They rushed over to where Lance lay, and Donna crouched down, shaking him none too gently to wake him up. Rose glanced up at the Doctor, from under her hood.
“Empress of the Racnoss,” the Doctor spoke with authority, and pride swelled in Rose at the sound of his voice. “I give you one last chance. I can find you a planet. I can find you and your children a place in the universe to co-exist. Take that offer and end this now.”
“You little humanoids are so funny. This little one,” she gestured to Rose, “has already made such an offer. I declined.”
“What? Your robot?” he scoffed. With the cloak still pulled up over her head, the Doctor, preoccupied with addressing the Racnoss, hadn’t recognized her. “Ah… but you’re not really a robot, are you? Weeell, great minds think alike, eh? But, then, you must be Torchwood, to have the audacity to make an offer like that.”
Hands quaking, anxious about how the Doctor would react to her unexpected presence, she pulled the hood off, and shook out her hair. “Hello.” She gave a nervous little wave, pressing her lips together in a farce of a smile, and forcing herself to meet his gaze as Donna unsympathetically hauled a groggy Lance to his feet.
The Doctor’s eyes roved over Rose, the hard anger in his gaze softening to wonder as he acknowledged her presence for the first time. “Rose…” he whispered, his lips twitching up in the hint of a proud smile. Then the smile fell, his expression reverting to firm resolve as he turned his attention back to the Racnoss. “Well, you’ve had two generous offers. You’ll get no more. What's your answer?”
“Oh I'm afraid I have to decline your offer, too. You see, my children are so hungry and now what a glorious wedding feast there shall be! The Groom; the Bride; a Bridesmaid; and you, Doctor, the Best Man.”
“Oh, that I am. And I warned you. What happens next is your own doing.”
“I’ll show you what happens next,” the Empress growled. “At arms! Take aim! And–”
“Relax.”
Rose looked around her, incredulous as the robots all slumped forward, deactivated.
“What did you do?” a shocked Donna asked the Doctor.
“Guess what I've got, Donna?” he smirked, waving around a large remote control unit. “Pockets.”
She turned to Rose, incredulous. “How did that fit in his pockets? Hey, Spaceman, how did that fit in your pockets?”
“They’re bigger on the inside,” Rose explained. “Like the TARDIS.”
The Racnoss, spoke again, contemptuous. “Roboforms are not necessary. My children may feast on Martian flesh.”
“Oh, but I'm not from Mars.” The Doctor’s voice exuded confidence.
“Then where?”
“My home planet is far away and long since gone. But its name lives on.” He paused for dramatic effect. “Gallifrey.”
“So, he is an alien,” Lance commented.
“Shut up, you!” Donna smacked him hard on the shoulder, causing him to stagger forward.
“They murdered the Racnoss!” The Empress’ temper surged, panic flashing in her many dark eyes.
“I warned you. You did this.” The Doctor revealed some red Christmas baubles that had also been tucked in his pockets.
Rose allowed herself a chuckle. “Lemme guess… those are some of the exploding baubles from earlier today. Am I right?”
“No. Way!” Donna stammered, eyes wide. “They… well, they… yeah, they sure look like them.”
“No! No! Don't! No!” the Empress began to beg.
Using the remote control to direct them, the Doctor tossed the baubles into the air. Some surrounded the Empress, whizzing around her, tormenting, while most of them went zipping out, through the lab, into the sub-basement corridor. Within seconds, the sounds of explosions rattled the room, and with a great, roaring rush, water came flooding into the chamber and plummeted into the great pit. Fires broke out as baubles ignited the webbing on the ceiling, and horrible, anguished wails echoed up from hole where the Racnoss young perished in the flood.
The Empress’ howls could be heard above all the other noises that filled the air. “No! No! My children! No! My children! My children!” She thrashed and keened, wailing in anguish.
The water continued to flood in, splashing and surging, swirling around Rose, Donna, and Lance’s feet, the level rising dangerously with every passing second. Rose looked up at the Doctor and shivered. It had nothing to do with the cold water that dripped from her hair and soaked her clothes. She shivered at the Doctor’s expression, wrathful and pitiless: the Oncoming Storm. And yet in his eyes, there was a look of such hopelessness…
The Empress gave one last yowl, dragging Rose’s attention from the Doctor. The water had already reached past the level of their knees when the Racnoss shouted an order to be transported and disappeared in the flash of a transmat beam.
The platform where the Racnoss had been standing was now empty, and Lance chose that moment to make his escape toward it, slogging through the water as fast as he could in his unsteady, semi-concussed state, with the swift current tugging at his legs. Rose leaped after him. He could not be allowed to escape. At the very least he would need to be held at Torchwood and interrogated. He would most likely be retconned, as well, to make him safe to integrate with the general public again. She lunged through the water, catching up to him as he struggled to climb up onto the platform. She grabbed his arm and helped him up. Then she leaped up beside him and, together, they negotiated the slick surface, slipping and sliding across the floor and finally down to the storage room at the back, where the water had already risen to Rose’s chest level.
They needed to get to higher ground.
“Hurry! Up the stairs,” she urged, gesturing to the flight of stairs leading to the service corridor. The water was rising steadily behind them. “Faster! Let’s go!” she barked, clambering up the first few steps as water sloshed around her waist.
Not yet on the steps, Lance floundered in the deep, heaving water, fighting to stay upright. She stretched her arm out to help him, and suddenly his hand wrapped around her wrist like a vice. She gasped and with a condescending leer, he met her eyes and yanked her down toward the rolling waves. Grasping at the railing with her free hand, she struggled against him. Her hand slipped along the slick, wet surface, and she felt her balance falter. A sudden surge of water knocked Lance off balance and she took advantage of his instability, flipping his hand away with a quick twist of her arm.
He plunged back into the water below, sputtering and flailing his arms wildly until he managed to grab hold of a railing and pull himself out of the water.
Rose scrambled up the stairs once she was sure he was able to stand up again. She glowered at him. “Just move your fuckin’ arse, yeah. I’ll not be waitin’ on ya.” She turned her back on him and leaped up the stairs two at a time. Upon reaching the service corridor at the top, she careened along it, leaving Lance to his own devices, certain he would follow. At that point, there was nowhere else he could go.
When she approached the opening that led to the gangway where the robots were located, she ducked inside, desperate to ensure the Doctor and Donna had also made it to safety. She pushed out onto the gangway between two of the dormant robots, and her heart hammered in horror at the sight of the Doctor still standing there, numb, frozen in place, water drenching him, lapping around his ankles. Donna was standing on the platform beside him, shouting and gesticulating, but Rose couldn’t make the words out over the noise of the deluge in her ears.
“Please, Doctor,” she implored him under her breath. “Go. Please!”
Relief surged through her when he finally responded to Donna’s shouts, suddenly awakening to the danger of their situation. As if by instinct, his eyes flickered to Rose’s, meeting them briefly before turning, grabbing Donna’s hand, and clambering up the stairs to safety.

Show kicks off without missing a beat, XPWEW World Heavyweight Champion Leonard McGraw stomps to the ring to The Set already in the ring consisting of XPWEW Juniorweight Champion Jordan Oliver with Former XPWEW Tag Team Champs Myron Reed & Kotto Brazil with Chrissy Rivera behind them. Leonard McGraw enters and then Mr. Case Your Luck Romeo Roselli makes his grandiose entrance to the ring, Kaitlyn Khaos points out that despite Leonard and Romeo being partners in this 2 on 3 melee tonight, Romeo does possess the CYL briefcase that he won at All Or Nothing last July, and that by proxy means that World Champion Leonard McGraw should be weary that they may be partners tonight but might be adversaries in the distant future. So throughout the course of the match Leonard is not very chummy with Romeo as they tag here tonight against The Set.
2 vs 3 Melee Tag Team Match M1: Leonard McGraw (c) & Romeo Roselli def. Jordan Oliver, Myron Reed & Kotto Brazil (w/ Chrissy Rivera) - The fall occurs when Romeo hits a superkick from a springboard attempt from Myron Reed where he pins Reed for the fall, McGraw sizes up Romeo like he is about to connect a clothesline but the camera doesn't catch a creeping up Jordan Oliver, the camera quickly shifts and Leonard springs to clothesline Jordan out of his shoes. Romeo turns around in the nick of time just enough to sell the moment that Leonard may have been thinking of attacking him from behind because of Leonard's known 'DTA' (Don't Trust Anybody) mentality. Romeo picks up a microphone from the corner. Romeo: Leonard, I'm not stupid. To you I might dress stupid, I might look stupid, I might even sound un-intelligent but I'm not, I know that I am indeed Mister Case Your Luck! I know that anytime within the next 331 days, I could cash this in on you right now, and I see you huffing and puffing gaspin for air, I'd take you with ease Leonard: (slowly grabs mic from Romeo) LEONARD TACKLES ROMEO TO THE GROUND AND ATTACKS HIM and Leonard starts striking Romeo with a flurry of fists over and over, until Romeo Roselli rolls out of the ring, Leonard kicks his briefcase out of the ring. - General Manager Troy Clausen enters Troy: Romeo, didn't you used to re-store the order around here, You two don't get along but you damn sure are gonna get along next week because next week it's gonna be Leonard McGraw and Romeo Roselli versus The Marauder Simon Gotch & The Drama King Aiden English!
Commentary Desk: Masato Tanaka joins the desk with Kaitlyn Khaos & Nick Simmonds and speaks that he wants to win the XPWEW World Title again and he knows he has a record of 3-8 but he's calling out Jacques Dudley next week who doesn't have the best record either; "Let's both get a W brother, may the best man win"
Tag Team Match M2: The Marauder Simon Gotch & Drama King Aiden English (w/ Mandy Leon) def. Jake "Man Scout" Manning & Bully Jaxon
Backstage segment: Doxy Deity reveals that her 'career strategist' is Romeo Roselli... I guess Romeo has a manager and so does Doxy
1 on 1 M3: Doxy Deity (w/ Romeo Roselli) def. Kiera Hogan
Tag Team Match M4: Champagne Clausen & Garrett Thompson def. Based Fabian & GG (w/ Genevalisse)
Backstage Segment: Giannis Antetokounmpo is hyping himself up with a few of his Milwaukee Bucks teammates, Says he is a real International Champion and Says He's gonna treat Jake Awesome just like his favorite basketball team Orlando Magic (Tampa is only a hour from Orlando, so)
NEXT WEEK! Joe Gacy vs El Demonio has 'World Title Shot' implications Recap: Ring of Fire match between Gacy and Carbine, James Westerbeck shows a mini-documentary video of the burns Carbine suffered at Heatwave 2 Sundays ago. Audrey Carbine says she understands what she got into and she actually respects Death Machine Joe Gacy even more for it. (How does burning your tag team partner help the tag team???)
Vignette: Olivia Whitewater [Current ABA Champion] coming soon
Backstage: New XPWEW Women's Champion: Tessa Blanchard speaking directly into the camera, "When I entered XPWEW the culture immediately changed, and things are gonna change around here and as for Lotus, I suggest your watch yourself freak, because I got eyes in the back of my head"
Tag Team Match M5: Ruckus & Siaka Lexoni (w/ Chrissy Rivera) def. 3M3 (3M Ultra & M3 Quintillo) Nick Simmonds: "Are the greatest tag team (Lexoni/Ruckus) on their way back up the mountain?
<Nick Simmonds asks for a post-match in-ring interview with Ruckus and Lexoni - Golden Bryce & Alveno La Flare come out and go back and forth on the mic saying they beat "their boys" at Heatwave (referring to Kotto & Myron)
1 on 1 M6: Alveno La Flare (w/ Golden Bryce) def. Ethan Bedlam
- Jake Awesome enters with Chrissy Rivera, Myron Reed, Kotto Brazil & Jordan Oliver (THE SET) - Giannis Antetokounmpo enters with a few Milwaukee Buck players and staff members (also Troy Clausen, Micheal Bradford for some reason)
6 foot 9 versus 6 foot 9 XPWEW International Championship on the line 1 on 1 M7: Giannis Antetokounmp def. Jake Awesome (c) when Giannis connects with a samoan drop; The match is very campy as most celebrity crossovers are but it's must watch tv regardless, After Giannis connects the big drop, Jake rolls out of the ring and Referee Kevin Madrox counts to 10 and Giannis Antetokounmp wins by countout but the title does not change hands, Jake Awesome gets last minute heat by saying "Lakers in 4" Giannis ignores Jake and The Set and instead celebrates his...countout victory Show Ends

British And Irish Lions Tour 2021: Predicting the British and Irish group for the first Test against South Africa
Rugby is off for some time. The Six Nations table lives inadequate, with Ireland and Italy having played a game under every other person, and the local alliances have been delayed while coronavirus attacks the best-laid planning plans of World Rugby. Rugby fans can book British And Irish Lions Tour Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

Marker’s solid exhibitions, especially in the scrum, may make him a need at the set-piece over Vunipola's aptitudes in the free. Ribs' scrum has been poor these Six Nations, yielding two punishments for each match, while Scotland and Ireland have been tolerable however not a huge deal (in addition to Cian Healy is as of now 32). Britain's has been the prevailing one, so now Marler, at only 29, shows up the undeniable pick.
Crew players: Mako Vunipola, Rory Sutherland
Hooker, Ronan Kelleher
On the current structure, Ken Owens would go, yet the Sherriff is as of now 33. Jamie George had a nice World Cup and an extraordinary a year going before, with Luke Cowan-Dickie giving him solid rivalry. Scotland can't pick between Stuart McAnally and Fraser Brown; however, Ireland may have the youngster prepared to hold onto the shirt. Rugby fans can book British And Irish Lions Tour Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.
Given his structure for Leinster and the way the 22-year-old could create throughout the following 18 months, Ronan Kelleher could be the man.
Crew players: Jamie George, Luke Cowan-Dickie
Tighthead prop, Tadhg Furlong
This looks like a shootout between Tadhg Furlong and Kyle Sinckler for the shirt on the current structure. Sinckler was remarkable at the World Cup however has since had a little plunge, while Furlong has seen a little knock in structure with some uncommon conveying.
We will offer it to the Irishman because of a paranoid fear of choosing an excessive number of Englishman, yet record this one under a real heart-stopper at the moment.
Crew players: Kyle Sinckler, Dillon Lewis, Zander Fagerson
Second lines, Maro Itoje and James Ryan
Not as simple a pick as it appears. While Itoje and Ryan show up the bankable powers in the second line in 2021, think about the names overlooked. Alun Wyn Jones, Jonny Gray, George Kruis, Adam Beard, Iain Henderson, Jake Ball, Joe Launchbury, and Courtney Lawes.
Crew players: Jonny Gray, Adam Beard, Ryan Baird and Alun Wyn Jones (if he keeps on opposing time).

Flankers, Tom Curry and Jamie Ritchie
Wow, it doesn't get any simpler here. With Man of the Match grants in the Six Nations being appropriated like confetti to back-rowers, there's an excess of ability somewhere in the range of six and eight to pick dependably.
Justin Tip uric will most likely despite everything be a criminally underestimated power in 2021, and Tom Curry will keep on developing in stature with Warren Gatland picking him at flanker where he accomplishes his best work. Scotland's Jamie Ritchie continues showing signs of improvement and better with each test coordinate.
No 8, Billy Vunipola
With a genuinely enormous reference mark. He's not as undeniably on top as he used to be. Caelian Doris, Max Deegan, CJ Stander, Sam Simmonds, and Alex Dobrindt could all offer his some genuinely enormous rivalry come 2021.
All things considered, Billy despite everything takes multiple, at times two players to cut down, and against an enormous South African pack that is a strong weapon. On the off chance that his arm isn't broken.

Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – October 2018
Here are the Top 300 skaters to own in your points-only keeper league – October edition.
This month factors in much of the training camp news, cuts, injuries and surprise prospects.

As always, players within plus/minus 5.0 ratings should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of personal bias and/or team needs. Look for the Top D list tomorrow. The Top G list was posted earlier this week (here) and I also did the Top Prospect Goalies (here) and I should note that I made changes to that originally posted list and re-posted it.
