Happy Father's Day to William III because although he's technically not a father, he was like a father figure to wee kids at his court.

Enlightenment Novelization Post 2: What Turlough Fears and What Turlough Wants

The cool thing about novelizations is that you can actually get inside the heads of characters and be directly told what they're thinking and feeling. We get a lot more of Turlough's perspective throughout the novel, and we learn how he sees what's going on. Through this, it's very clear that Turlough's entire worldview is based around fear.

I've got a lot about one of the early scenes. The Doctor and Turlough explore the ship they've landed on and meet some sailors. In the televised version, Turlough seems a bit uncomfortable, but he just sort of rolls with things. When the Doctor is mistaken for the ship's cook (old sailor slang apparently) he laughs. In the novelization, the same doctor=cook joke is made, but the Doctor just explains to Turlough what's going on, teaching him the local slang, and Turlough is pretty quiet throughout it. He's more uncomfortable in the novel than in the show.

This is the point where I throw in some screenshots:

The sailors aren't particularly hostile at any point, but Turlough's intimidated by them, just because they look tough. That sort of makes sense, especially since they're also strangers and Turlough isn't familiar with their culture and doesn't really know how to talk to them. But, it continues:

It honestly seems like the sailors never intended to be that mean. They're teasing the new guy a little. But, Turlough expects to be bullied and decides the Doctor's presence is why they were nice, as if the Doctor had any power over this group of sailors. Yeah, they think he's a cook and they've been waiting for him, but if there was a serious fight, the Doctor probably wouldn't be able to deescalate with that alone. But, in comparison to how he thinks of himself, Turlough seems to see the Doctor as his big, strong protector who can make the bullies stop.

The Doctor has to leave Turlough for a bit. He feels safe around the Doctor. At this point in his arc, he doesn't seem to feel safe around anyone else. Though, by the time the Doctor leaves, Turlough isn't afraid of the sailors anymore. He's been integrated into their group now and they seem him as one of them.

Now we get to the Black Guardian. Turlough thinks he needs the Black Guardian to survive in this situation. I'm really not sure why at this point. Maybe it's because the Black Guardian is the most powerful being he's come into contact with. No one could threaten the Black Guardian, so Turlough wants to be under his protection. So, Turlough spends the story going back and forth between the Doctor and the Black Guardian as protectors, eventually siding with the one who is better at keeping him safe. The Black Guardian is more powerful, but he asks for a lot in return, while the Doctor's support is unconditional.

Power isn't everything. That's sort of the lesson Turlough learns here. He is eventually given a choice between power and the Doctor. We see what goes through his head as he chooses between the diamond and the Doctor.

Turlough is scared all the time. He's been bullied and is afraid of being bullied again. He thinks he wants to become so powerful that no one would dare bully him, but what he really wants isn't power. He just wants to be safe. Earlier, with the whole vacuum shield incident, the Black Guardian has the power to save Turlough, but he doesn't. The Doctor saves Turlough. It isn't a matter of power, but a matter of choice. The Doctor is the better ally because he chose to save Turlough.

And Turlough wants an ally, a protector. He doesn't want to not need anybody. He wants someone he can rely on when he needs someone. That's the choice he makes.

THE CONSISTENCY. 

Watanuki we love you for it. 

Doumeki’s unimpressed reaction is a gift to the world. A global treasure. A timeless gift. 

But I mean like Watanuki didn’t CAUSE the fight last time by any means. He’s hardly at fault for spacing out for a split second and a GROWN ADULT attacking him with boiling water. 

Then again maybe Doumeki is just expecting to call his bluff.

Imagine smol G1 Megatron clone sparkling being just a little sweetie. Tiny happy baby who inexplicably adores Starscream. Maybe even estaishs a parental spark bond with the Seeker. Starscream is warming up to this tiny like a dad who didn't want a cat.

Yessss exactly

He accidentallied his way into parenthood and original Megatron has questions

WATCH IT IT'S HECKING FUNNY AND VERY NICE

you're getting a big fat kiss for this one 😚😚😚

i've got such mixed feelings about it but the first part made me ĺol and just got me so enthusiastic and happy i wanted to kiss someone (hence why you're getting a smooch 💓)

thought i was getting nanon in another comedic role after night but this one seems a bit sadder (considering night had his serious moments too); he still looks so good, idk what nerd look they're trying to pull considering my man took off his glasses to see better at one point but anywayss (i want to steal them btw. so cute.)

idk if i've seen namtan in anything before but her voice and the character's styling are right up my alley, i think i like her acting a lot so far too ☺️ i'm curious to see her with work with nanon, considering this has more eps than dirty laundry i expect some solid chemistry later on

my guysss, my at-least-75%-the-reason-i'm-watching guysss 🥰 if they don't end up together imma 🧍 i take my slam dance reunion very seriously. ngl, drake's character seems a bit too vague for now but his simplicity could work with sing's character who takes his monsters very seriously so 😗 the focus simply wasn't on them this episode and that's fine, the most bonding they did was jack's foot on o's face and that's plenty for now

i haven't read the synopsis so i went in kinda unprepared and the tone switch left me wondering if this show would be my thing (the preview for next week gave me both answers and more confusion) but i am willing to try, i think they'll keep the comedy going amidst the darker plot and the supernatural stuff :) plus betting on whether or not the two fools actually get together each week would be fun

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be
