On one hand, I always love to see the Master on the tv show.

On the other, it makes me sad that they can't "win" when the Doctor isn't around.

The Book of the Snowstorm – Readthrough/Review Part 7

Framing Story (Scenes 16-18)

Did that just imply… Urizen was God. Like the ‘God’ mentioned by the Toymaker in the Giggle was actually Urizen (and thus Rassilon)? Also a Church on Ruby Road reference with the goblin. I like Rich’s little section, and in general I’m curious as to how the events in the 925 Universe tie to the Snowstorm in the library and how the mysterious-99-per-cent-sure-he’s-not-Auteur stranger factors into it, if they do at all.

The God Who Came For Christmas

Hello again FASA War Chief. The glimpse into the Archon’s perception of one another was fascinating and I think I get what it’s trying to do. Imply the FASA War Chief is a Self-Hypnotised Master trying to disguise. Either way, fun little piece even if (IIRC) it’s a sequel to a DW RPG story that I have not seen.

Presents

Interesting piece. The Fantastic Realm is an interesting setting and I like the use of comic book terminology alongside more DWEU concepts. As well as the general exploration of the infinitely variable constantly resetting characters of comic books. Captain America, or well… Captain Yank, was a good choice of character for that IMO and I appreciated the references to other suspiciously similar substitutes for Marvel’s other cast members.

The Cathedral of Winter

Ok so first of all, Abraytha is really fun, and I appreciate his general upbeat demeanour and sense of adventure and fun. Also his aesthetic is cool. The Archons of Winter were really funny, and have similarly funny implications for their temporal counterparts (In that a Multiversal visitor with the appropriate equipment could in theory bypass their defences almost as easily as Abraytha did to the Archons of Winter). The cultural differences between Xiantio and Abraytha were also really fun. Aesthetic was great too, just the general winter theming. (Also Lotto cameo?????)

The Mystical Mayor - Gacha Online (Roblox) // Monkie Kid

Yay! I'm back! Finished sawing(making) The Mysterious Mayor, no one knows what his name is- In any case, here are 3 canon versions and 2 of my AU! Yes-yes, a corpse and yes, I like it ♥️. Call him the Undead now. 😃 By the way, about the latest version... He really became the mayor of the Megapolis! 🤪😈

Frankly, I'm a little disappointed in Chief of War. I insanely like his hairstyle, but I couldn't repeat it in Gacha Online, because there is no Ahoge(( Yes, it's strange to make his beautiful ribbons from the ponytail, but all accessories in Gacha Online are dressed on top of the character, not behind, so i use what we have. 😃

On the other hand, I left him his cute cheeks. I have no idea why he needs them in the original cartoon, but they make him insanely cute 🥺

Bonus:

Just look at this cutie-wutie!!! 😖💓💞

per my earlier post about the war chief, there’s the “magnus” incarnation, brayshaw, “kriegslieter”, delgado, and…eccleston.

there are many reasons I like the "Erestor son of Caranthir" headcanon but secretly the main one is that I'm imagining all of the remaining noldo auditors sighing of relief when Caranthir dies and they don't have to try play 4d chess with multiverse time travel trying to catch this guy doing tax evasion. life is good for exilic auditors now.

and then suddenly Elrond and Elros turn up again! even better! oh who's this, Elrond? your good friend Erestor? he's helping you with your taxes? oh how swe- what is this Elrond. What is this. your paperwork for your taxes you say. not a declaration of war? because it looks like a declaration of war on the exilic auditors, Elrond.

and then all the auditors are so busy doing "extreme tax auditing™" for the first time since the second Kinslaying that they don't tell anyone they're pretty sure there's another scion of the house of Fëanor running around.

Dudes would rather take on hordes of enemies instead of getting therapy.

The Book of the Snowstorm – Readthrough/Review Part 5

Framing Story (Scenes 12)

David Tennant? And the TARDIS Data Core?

Only one scene this time so not much review but Coloth is still fun.

Trauma and Tinsel

Poor Miara, I’m glad they got through to her in the end. (Also fascinating condition, effectively perpetual regular forced regeneration but obviously not actually that). Dionus is a character I’m familiar with by name, because of BBV’s Dionus’s War audios, but this is my first actual experience with them as a character. They seem nice. Also saw references to ‘V-Time’ and ‘Ulysses’ in there too. But the main thing is the piece was sweet.

Love & War

Not to be confused with the VNA Love and War or the BF adaptation Love and War of the VNA Love and War.

Ok so this is literally an immediately pre-War Cult of Skaro Dalek story. How did you get away with this? Explain. Literally had the Genesis Ark and void ship in it and everything.

Also the citations, direct citations to real books (Including one to my work which I was not expecting).

Mathematical Bureau lore and FASA War Chief lore aside, this weighs in on literally everything from ‘which homeworld is the main one’ (Romana IIIs is the ‘First’ but War King’s is the ‘Prime’) to ‘When did the Doctor and River Song marry?’ (With this story implying Dionus and Susit got married after Dionus resurrected Susit using some of his regeneration cycle).

Short review session this time, but I got cut off, just under half way through the book now.

Of course Lara Croft is more iconic than Mario, Sonic, Link and the rest, you can cry about it all you want in the replies on Twitter but it's the truth.

She's the most successful woman to ever hit video games.

She jump-started the action adventure genre.

She revolutionised 3D gaming.

She inspired tons of imitations and her likeness (dual pistols, long braid, blue tank top + brown pants combo) continues to be applied to various degrees in female characters to this day.

She has stayed relevant across decades.

She was the very first and only video game character to become a pop culture icon and be treated as a celebrity in the 90s, appearing in magazine covers, advertisements for Séat, Lucozade, Visa etc., touring with U2 and having her own publicist.

She has won multiple Guinness awards.

She has been portrayed by two Oscar-winning actresses.

Her games have been extremely successful, both critically and commercially, and she has outlived her main and only competitor, Nathan Drake.

Lara Croft IS video games. It's just facts
