Every Doctor Who Story from An Unearthly Child (1963) - World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls (2017).

I figured that now we’ve reached the end of Series Ten, I should update this to include all of this year’s stories!

Most of my toons are taken by my GF, and even those “available” aren’t necessarily looking. I remain open to possibilities but romance isn’t my only driving force. I’d rather it happens amidst a story than for it to BE the story.

If your muse isn't just hunting for the D and V, please reblog.

I’m sick of getting dropped or ignored by some blogs just because my muse isn’t jumping and crawling all over them. There are things called enemies/platonic or just friends or whatever… And i’m annoyed… So if you could just reblog this so that I can have a bit of reassurance about this… It’d be very appreciated.

And then along comes a 12-year-old to remind you how very far you have to go....lol

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

For me, it’s not attention, I just like the opportunity to explore my characters. It’s never been a huge deal that not many people send asks, it just got to the point where it felt like I was flogging a dead horse.

RPer Awareness Announcement

Ask memes.

This a bigger issue than people think. I know people make tons of them, all the way down to RP prompts, questions, drabbles, all that jazz. But this sort of thing needs to be recognized and needs to be addressed:

If someone is reblogging millions upon a millions of ask memes, you should do that person a favor and try to at least send a couple or so asks.

The reason why is because many people on this site want to feel wanted. They want to feel loved and they like the attention, but perhaps it’s just the way I feel about it. Either way, it goes a long way if you send someone an ask. I’ve seen many of my favorite RP blogs get close to shutting down because no one took the time to send at least one ask to that person and it’s sad. People reblog literally PAGES of ask memes and no one sends them anything.

So, please, just try to care for your fellow partner and send an ask. You never know when their blog might break because of it.

Use of the words ‘azure’, ‘emerald’, and ‘cerulean’ in descriptive writing make me instinctively recoil.

Pretty sure this is the guy I used as a FC for the Norn I probably should RP one day....

Time for a Pet Peeve

In my capacity as a teacher, I deal with a lot of issues involving children. Duh. It means I read a lot of literature, I’m very aware of situations involving children and their well-being; my job expects me to know. 

Time and time again, because it is rightly a topic of significant social interest, I see the word ‘pedophile’ turning up on my newsfeed. Most of the time, it is applied a little too liberally and it kind of drives me bonkers.

Sex crimes against minors are despicable acts that should be dealt with swiftly and severely, make no mistake about that. But, in the interests of addressing the problem correctly, let’s at least call a spade a spade.

Pedophilia: a primary or exclusive adult sexual attraction to children under the age of 13.   

Hebephilia: a primary or exclusive adult sexual attraction to pubescent individuals, typically ages 11–14.

Ephebophilia: a primary or exclusive adult sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19.

In all three cases, the sexual attraction must be a very strong, almost exclusive, preference for the age bracket, not isolated incidents.

So why does it matter?

I can’t answer for everyone but for me, being attracted to a 5-year-old is different to being attracted to a 15-year-old. Still horrible crimes, still deserving of severe consequence if acted upon, but different. With that in mind, it stands to reason that they require different precautions and prevention, different identification, different treatment, different whatever-the-fuck-we-have-to-do-to-protect-our-kids, and that’s before we have to consider the existence of offenders who don’t qualify for clinical diagnosis but hurt our kids anyway. Perhaps I’m just being pedantic but it matters to me. Accuracy matters when it comes to child protection.

Today’s Costume Contest!

O come, ye scallywags galore,

Set foot upon our golden shore,

In decorative guise sublime,

When evening bells regale their chime,

Some seven tolls.

 And let your muse be guided by,

The distant seagull’s mournful cry,

Melandru’s brine, a siren’s blue,

Teal overtones and stormy hues,

That catch the eye.

 Through tragedy, the Lion prevails,

Resurgence in her fluttered sails.

Rich bounty from the ocean deep,

Ensures the Arch may always keep,

Its head held high.

 So strut thee out in best tribute,

Display your crowning attribute,

In honour of our Mother Blue,

And all her blessing means to you.

We’ll see you there!

Come participate in Mariner’s Costume Competition, staged immediately after the completion of the Opening Ceremony August 12th, 8pm CDT.  The theme this year is “The Briny Deep”, with the ocean itself as our muse. First, Second and Third prizes will be awarded for those costumes that best symoblise the theme, and participants should be ready with an explanation for their costume choices.  

1st Prize: 1 rare, exclusive dye, 15 unidentified dyes and 15g

2nd Prize: 1 rare dye, 10 unidentified dyes and 10g

3rd Prize: 1 rare dye, 5 unidentified dyes and 5g

There will also be Blue Unidentified Dyes given to all participants.
