Some design ideas for the 456 ambassador from Torchwood A lot of people interpret it as a crab with huge claws, but a lot of the behind the scenes material refers to them as heads; indeed, the puppet itself has little "eyes" and deer skull-like nostrils, so I think the intent was always to evoke a sort of three headed dragon or vulture. Some sort of legs/arms are implied but were never built past the "shoulders".

The little crest on the head is also a canonical design element only really visible in filming footage:

we’re bad gods.

[ID: digital illustration of mabel martin (left) and anna limón (right) from mabel podcast. they are sitting face to face with their hands barely touching and a spark between them. behind them is sally’s house with vines spreading from anna’s side, red light shining through the door, and a labyrinth pediment. there is a crown and rabbit jumping over the moon above them and a fairy ring below them with a sound wave or heartbeat line within it. they are framed by an old-fashioned telephone cord, mirror image anatomical hearts, and daturas. a quote from the podcast lines the frame: “-of the house. It means so much to - to Sally. She loves that house more than I can ever […] It’s […] like a religion. People […] n’t - they don’t love like that anymore. […] -s there. Something created. We’re bad gods. We let all our works rot into the ground.”]

*note: i intentionally only included some parts of this, but here is the full quote from episode 7: “Please take care of the house. It means so much to – to Sally. She loves that house more than I can ever convey to you, more than anyone has a right to love anything. It’s like – like a religion. People don’t- they don’t love like that anymore. They don’t even love each other like that anymore, let alone something that just – stands there. Something created. We’re bad gods. We let all our works rot into the ground.”

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

r/doctorwho: [image of random fucking statue in a cemetery] omgee it’s a weeping angel! why did uou post that you’ve doomed us all

r/gallifrey: does the doctor as a legendary folk hero figure correspond more to the attributes of loki or odin as they are portrayed in norse mythology? discuss

r/factionparadox: [post with 1 upvote that is the most popular this week] Did david bowie fight in the war in heaven

#beautiful post #i don’t think david bowie fought in the war in heaven but he did fight alongside Iris Wildthyme when she faced down a mass of #eldritch abominations in Berlin. #also i think Marlene Dietrich was there #dw #(citation: lady stardust the book)

As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses
