Still in the hospital with a minor infection. It'll be two weeks if i stay until Thursday. Really wanna go home. Hard to believe there's actually an end in sight because the goal post keeps moving.

weeping because you don't even have to go to the EU for the tragedy, in frontios Tegan states "the doctor's my responsibility" then in the very next episode she asks him if he's going to commit murder. then she almost commits it herself, trying to open the canister to poison the daleks. is she trying to take just a little of that guilt off his hands? does she find that's the final thing that breaks her, that in the company of the Doctor she has found herself capable of such terrible things in the attempt for good?

And he didn't intend to return to them. He set the setting on the TARDIS to send them back to earth. Five and Tegan so desperately trying to take responsibility for each other, to try and keep the blood off each other's hands and both falling apart under their facades. He leaves her behind again, and she leaves him behind too. god, they're so awful and tragic and all this in a silly wee sci-fi show from the eighties.

happy 20th anniversary to the ninerose kiss

[theladysiubhan]

after how much love my tenrose piece got, I had to make something for ninerose! I started watching with NuWho so Nine was my first Doctor <333 Bad Wolf / Parting of The Ways is one of my favorite Nine era episodes (up there with Father's Day and Rose!! )

#i always do kudos but never comment bc most of the time idk what to say#but the one time i did i said i hoped the writer would update soon with “!” bc I was excited and liked their writing#i got yelled at by the author who basically cursed me out for being entitled#bc apparently saying i was excited for an update was entitled and i didnt have right to DEMAND anything#promptly deleted by comment and since then ive been too afraid to comment again...#i think i might also left the comment in caps lock... so i guess that mightve seemed demanding to them? who knows#i get yelled at enough in m personal life i dont wanna get yelled at by ppl online too :'(#personal

This is a tricky one and such a common issue - how to get across the excitement over an awaited update without sounding impatient, because unfortunately writers do often get slightly entitled /demanding comments that don't respect that the person is doing this on their own time, for free.

The solution comes down to tone and wording - "holy crap i loved this work (xyz reasons). I'll be super excited to know if you plan continue it! If you do, you've got an eager subscriber! But either way, thanks so much for sharing!"

Comes off very different from

"GAH I CAN'T STAND WAITING IT'S TORTURE, WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDATE??! I LOVE YOOOU!!!"

Though the second is clearly a fan, it definitely comes off as demanding pressure. It's extra important in these cases to remember how much tone and intention is conveyed through body language and vocal tone, so we have to work a lot harder to express the intention behind words on the internet .

They say text loses something like two levels of enthusiasm from what we mean.

So like, you have to bump up your enthusiasm far above what you mean to get out across

Cool. - sounds grumpy, maybe even like they're a bit upset.

Cool! - normal tempered enthusiasm - equivalent of a thumbs up.

Cool!! 😃 - actually Engaged and interested

��😍🤩😃WHAT! COOL!! - finally reaches enthusiasm

🤓

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

And 5 minutes later Ruby tells Conrad, "it was a nice world, it could have been much worse. thank you."

RUBY. FUCK. NO.

The Doctor tells Rose (Noble) that she didn’t exist in Wish World because Conrad couldn’t imagine her and she just nods, girl what? Where is the anger, where is the rage? I'm not even trans, but if I learned someone couldn’t even fathom the idea of me I would hunt him down, and remind him with my fist that I'm as real as his pain.

[theladysiubhan]

Ruby should've said, "I wish you go to hell," to Conrad and he should've ended up where Rogue is, and Rogue should've been allowed to beat him to death with hammers.

This this this

timepetals fanart time, bbyyyy! I've succumbed to the sci-fi rabbit hole that is Doctor Who. time to fill every casual conversation I have for the next few years with alien facts and various doctor era tidbits

ALSO you CANNOT convince me that 16 is Billie Piper. I love that woman to pieces and she'd make an amazing doctor, but the hints, THE CREDITSS, THE BIG BAD WOLFF

(even if she is the 16th doctor and I'm totally confidently wrong, I'm so happy to see her face again, and the nine/rose Big Finish Audios coming out make everything worth it.)

BELINDA: Like this is destiny? Is that what you say to all the girls? Is that what you said to Sasha? She trusted you, and she died. And you tested my DNA without even asking my permission. God. You're dangerous.

DOCTOR: I'm sorry. Inexcusable. With both hearts, I apologise.

BELINDA: I am not one of your adventures. Now I'm asking you, Doctor, to do the right thing.

DOCTOR: I will take you home.

BELINDA: Thank you.

I need her to remember.
