Weekly Recap | March 11th-17th 2024

That premiere guys!!!!! Was so good!!!!! I'm so excited to be FINALLY be a part of the fandom while the show is actually airing! 😃 Can't wait to read all the amazing fics that are gonna be spawned from season 7!

Speaking of that, I would like to encourage everyone to use the relevant Ao3 tags when writing fics based on S7 content! Not everyone can watch the episodes as they air, so tags are really essential for people who don't want to get spoiled! (I could even make a separate post about it? a sort-of "how to tag" post?). In case you want to block some tumblr tags, my main tags for S7 are #911 season 7, #911 on abc, or #911 spoilers.

(Posting this one day early cause I don't feel like waiting until tomorrow! Enjoy! 😆)

Complete

i find peace in your smile by goforeddie/@iltrpls (A/B/O AU | 1K | General): They’ve been courting for a few months now. It’s agonizingly slow, but it’s still the best time they’ve ever had. You might think that after six years of walking on eggshells around each other, half a decade of “will-they-won’t-they” they wouldn’t be taking such a slow time with courting, but it's precisely everything that they’ve been through that makes them appreciate things a little better.

Birthday Flowers by Tizniz/ @tizniz (Pre-Buddie | 2K | General): OR: Buck gets Eddie flowers for his birthday.

🔥 if i need to rearrange my particles — i will for you. by dylaesthetics (Post-S6, Identity Porn | 45K | Teen): OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

Lime Jell-O by rainbow_nerds/ @rainbow-nerdss (S7E01: Abandon 'Ships | 3K | Teen): Eddie Diaz didn't panic. Or, well... Maybe he did. Sometimes. But he was working on it.

take the bed warmed by the body by lecornergirl/ @clusterbuck (Getting Together | 2K | Teen): It’s three parts bravado and one part reminder. He thinks about it, sometimes, his first shift at the 118—he doesn’t think either of them quite knew how much they’d meant it when they’d promised to have each other’s backs. He definitely hadn’t known, then, that he’d wake up one day and wonder why Buck isn’t in his bed. Because that’s what’s missing. He has a vague memory of falling asleep with his head resting against Buck’s shoulder, their legs tangled together.

Taken Space by Wildgirl93/ @wildlife4life (S7E01 Coda | 1K | General): Eddie and Marisol talk about the space that has already been taken.

Feel Like I Landed On The Moon by Tizniz/ @tizniz (Canon Divergent | 1K | General): OR: Eddie is pining for Buck while in Texas.

Fractals from the Lightning Bolt by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels (One Shots Collection | 98K | Not Rated): A collection of oneshots, some originally posted on tumblr. Each chapter is individually rated.

53. A Dream You've Had Before (Explicit) 54. We're Definitely All Sluts Here (Explicit)

if you love someone by chronicallystendan (Pre-Buddie | 1K | General): Buck and Eddie both internally panic when a song comes on the radio that seems to be talking directly to them.

adventures of firehose and eightpack by brewrosemilk/ @gayhoediaz (Social Media fic | 1,5K | Mature): Or: Eddie stumbles upon Buck's old twitter account.

Two, Three Times in a Row by Leslie_Knope (PWP | 6K | Explicit): “We could’ve gone again.” Eddie snorts. “I’m old. You expect me to get it up twice?” “Yes,” Buck says, like it’s a given, like duh. “I could get you to do it right now.” The entire world pauses, and Eddie actually feels it, the bolt of arousal slinking down his spine all the way to his toes. He wets his lips. “Right now?”

WIP

🔥 miracles under your sighs and moans by napricot (Sex Pollen, PWP | 1/2 | 13K | Explicit): When Eddie gets exposed to an experimental aphrodisiac on a call, he realizes there’s only one person he trusts to help him get through it: Buck.

🔥 because we'll all arrive in heaven alive by callmenewbie/ @puppyboybuckley (Post-S6, Disaster Fic | 9/10 | 63K | Explicit): During a search and rescue, Eddie disappears without a trace, leaving Buck to grapple with the sudden possibility of a life without him.

Hello, and welcome to my TED Talk.

In this essay, I will demonstrate why I think Mrs. Flood is Susan Foreman (aka The Doctor's Granddaughter, aka The Unearthly Child, aka The Boss, aka The One Who Waits).

I know, I know. Not exactly the hottest take out there.

But buckle in, cause this goes deep.

Getting this out of the way first: I know this season has been billed as a bit of a fresh start (what with calling it Season 1, and all) and thus people are wary about assuming Mrs. Flood is a returning character. But let's be real. Just look at the 60th anniversary specials. Ya know, the massive 3 parter whose plot has set everything in motion for this next season.

They feature The 14th Doctor (aka The 10th Doctor revamped) with Donna Noble and her family (from the 2000's), Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (from the 2010's) who is both the current leader of UNIT (from Classic Who) and the daughter of The Brigadier: original leader of UNIT (throughout all of Classic Who), The Meep (from a Classic Who comic strip of all things) The Toymaker (Classic Who) and Mel (Classic Who).

And that's just the characters. Never mind the near constant references to both New and Classic Who.

They made it appealing and approachable to new viewers, sure. But they've already proven they're not actually interested in distancing themselves from the show's past.

So why do I think she's Susan, specifically?

Well, for starters, although the age of an actress doesn't really mean much in a 60 yr old time-travel show that's already had (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT SEEN THE 11TH DOCTOR'S EPISODES!!) a parent-child dynamic where the daughter is not just played by an actress who's noticably older than the parents, but also canonically met the doctor first, despite her parents being the primary companions, (and each of them are played by both adult and child actors). But Anita Dobson is 74. Which would have made her 14/15 when the show started in 1963. Around the same age Susan Foreman is supposed to be/appear.

But again, that doesn't really mean anything in this show. So why else would I think she's Susan? And why do I think this means she's also The Boss mentioned by the Meep, AND The One Who Waits mentioned by The Toymaker?

Well, because I think it all falls into place with some of the big themes they've been pushing in the episodes so far, if she's Susan.

I mean, from what I know of Susan, she was a refugee from Galifrey, with her grandfather, The Doctor. As far as we know, he's her only family. He'd basically been raising her until she caught feelings for a human guy, so The Doctor decided she'd be better off staying on Earth. Effectively abandoning his very traumatized teenage granddaughter in 1960's London. It wasn't malicious, he was trying to do what's best for her. But he still left her there against her will and never came back for her.

So she's an orphaned teenage refugee, raised in a high-tech alien culture, stuck in the 1960's, with her first major crush as her primary confidant and caregiver. Let's be real. She'd have been deemed a mentally unstable minor, and at best institutionalized, at worst dissected/studied, in a heartbeat (or rather, two heartbeats (a surprise tool that'll help us later)).

So here we have a woman who's likely been drugged and tortured ("psychotherapy" in the 1960s, am I right?), gaslit, and desperately isolated for a significant portion of her life. With a massive list of reasons to both deeply resent and have seriously dissociated from The Doctor and the TARDIS.

And now we finally get to the new episodes:

The Meep says that creatures with two hearts are so rare that it can't wait to tell The Boss about The Doctor. So we have The Meep, who just happened to pick Earth to "crash land" on, answering to a nameless Boss who's on the lookout for 2 hearted creatures. Thus, we're looking for someone with both a connection to Earth and intimate knowledge of Timelord biology.

The Toymaker says even he didn't dare face The One Who Waits. Which says a lot, considering the importance and prevalence of people described as Waiting with a capitol W.

(MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE 10TH and 11TH DOCTOR'S EPISODES!!) Off the top of my head, I can think of Jack Harkness aka The Face of Boe who waited billions of years to see The Doctor again. We have Amy Pond aka The Girl Who Waited, and Rory Williams aka The Boy Who Waited. We even have Sara Jane Smith, who's first real conversation with the The Doctor after finding him again had her admitting she'd spent her whole adult life waiting for him to come back. So to be The One Who Waited, above and beyond all others? You'd have to have somehow waited more than the rest. And when you're already talking about Waiting upwards of 5 Billion years, that's tough to do. Unless you're looking at it from The Doctor's perspective. And the Granddaughter he'd abandoned 15 lifetimes ago would absolutely fit that bill.

So we have an individual who is intelligent/knowledgeable enough to be called The Boss by an alien kapable of mind control and space flight, who's searching for creatures with 2 hearts. Who's earned the title of The One Who Waits, above so many other candidates.

And we just so happen to meet a character who's being played by an actress the same age Susan should be.

Speaking of, we can finally look at Mrs. Flood herself. When I first watched the episode, it struck me just how angry she was at seeing the TARDIS. When it's far more normal to see people ignoring the thing. So her reaction is weird, both in general, and for a character the actress herself described as a friendly neighbor lady.

It's only after she's utterly shocked by the TARDIS disappearing in front of her that she starts acting different. As if seeing that unlocked her memories. From there on out, she's a different person who knows exactly what's going on. She even addresses the audience at the end and knows to call it a TARDIS. Which Susan of all people would know, as Susan claimed to have come up with the acronym herself, during her time with the 1st Doctor (whether that's technically canon or not, idk).

It's also worthy to note, that if you look at the houses during the scene where she's complaining about the TARDIS, you'll see that on the outside, her house, while the most extravagantly decorated outside, is noticably stark and empty inside, unlike each of the other houses where you can clearly see decorations through the windows. Not to mention, her door is the only one that looks like the TARDIS. The other doors are either the wrong shade, or style, or both. And her's is the only one that doesn't have stairs going to the second level. I don't know how much of this is just working within the confines of the location, and how much is intentional, or what it would mean, but we see enough wide shots of the house fronts, it seems potentially relevant.

So if Mrs. Flood is, in fact, Susan Foreman, she's exactly the right age, she'd have had more than enough reason to be triggered by the sight of the TARDIS, more than enough intelligence/knowledge to reach Boss status in her search for a rare two-hearted creature and being The Doctor's Granddaughter, could absolutely intimidate The Toymaker, and have more than enough claim to the title of The One Who Waited.

And if she turned out to be a future Big Bad, she would have the trauma, reasoning, skillset, and intelligence to truly challenge The Doctor and force him to deal with the repercussions of his habit of never stopping or looking back at his actions or mistakes.

We've never seen if Susan can regenerate as far as I'm aware, but we know she's a Timelord and significantly younger than The Doctor. So if she can, the actress has already suggested that Mrs. Flood will go through quite a transformation throughout future episodes. We might be seeing the birth of a new antagonist for a new generation of the show.

Honorable Mention: I feel like The Boss is right up there with The Doctor and The Master. And RTD would absolutely make The Boss a bada** boss babe.

Phew. That was a whole essay. If you've made it this far, congrats!! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

It was a bone-headed move on ABC's part to 1) stir up a ship war to increase engagement

2) advertise the next episode almost exclusively with clips and content from one ship

3) admit at the 11th hour that the clips used to advertise the episode for 3 weeks most likely got cut

But I suspect that's all it is. The folks who put together advertising for the show don't always communicate super well with the people making the show, especially when episodes are being cut as the show is airing. And the people advertising are going to give the audience whatever creates the most engagement. The same thing happened with Succession s4 - a ton of scenes used in previews ended up on the cutting room floor. At the time, the misleading promos really tainted the viewing experience for me but looking back, it was still a phenomenal season that people bts worked really hard on. I know each episode of Succession had like 2 - 2.5 hours of footage that had to be cut to an hour.

Networks aren't trustworthy and, sure, it's possible that they're baiting us with Buddie for ratings. But I think we should view the episode before deciding that. There may still be a lot of great Buddie content in it. And, obviously, the Madney wedding itself (which, lbr, they should have advertised more) is going to be spectacular. I get that it's annoying but people aren't perfect and poor logistics happen.

I am watching season five of doctor (about to watch ep 8: the hungry earth) and I'm doing my best to give it a chance but I must say I'm not fond of amy or 11th Doctor so far :/ To me amy just doesn't have much to her? Her dynamic with the doctor is off-putting to me for whatever reason but to ge fair I might just be missing 9 and 10 and rose and donna too much andjdjd BUT I am in your askbox to ask your opinion on amy and 11?

The answer to this question is a little complicated, because it's less about Eleven and Amy and more about what happened to the show when someone else took over.

Seasons 1 through 4 were run by showrunner Russel T. Davies. In his iteration of Doctor Who, the show was very much focused on the companions; while the Doctor is a main character, the story of each season was less about him and more about the journey the companions went on. Seasons 1 and 2 (and her episodes in 4) were about Rose growing from a discontented shop girl into someone much more like the Doctor. Season 3 was about Martha finding confidence in herself and her own independence. Season 4 was continuing the arc Donna started in "The Runaway Bride" special, in that she found that both she and the world she lived in was so much more than what she'd thought it was for so long. (And then all of that was horrifically ripped away from her in one of the worst companion endings to ever happen . . . but maybe that will be fixed in the upcoming special?) Yes, the Doctor did things and got progressively more sad. But each season was much more about Rose, Martha, and Donna in turn. The Doctor and the TARDIS were just vessels for their stories.

But that . . . changed when RTD left the show and the showrunner position was taken over by Steven Moffat.

Moffat was the showrunner from season 5 through 10. Moffat's version of Doctor Who is very much centered around the Doctor, both in that the Doctor is a man who loves to solve mysteries (his primary motivation for taking Amy along, at least in the beginning, is because he's curious about the crack in her wall and wants to solve that mystery), and also as The Most Important Character in the Show. I find it kind of funny how many episodes were named "The [something] of the Doctor." Like we had The Name of the Doctor, the Night of the Doctor, the Day of the Doctor . . . I was ready for The Scent of the Doctor next. The Taste of the Doctor. The Feel of the Doctor.

The point is, the companions were in Moffat's version of Doctor Who for two reasons: 1.) so the Doctor could have someone to impress / a mystery to solve (both of his primary companions, Amy and Clara, came with mysteries), and 2.) because it's a series staple. And to be fair, from what I understand Classic Who also very much focused on the Doctor, with the (usually female) companion being there to entice men to watch the show (eye candy) and also for the Doctor to have someone to rescue / impress. So in that sense, Moffat focusing on the Doctor as The Most Important Character is going back to the series roots, as the most generous explanation I can give for why he wrote Doctor Who this way. (And also ignoring the other show he was working on at the time, BBC Sherlock, which also focused on a genius man intent on solving mysteries, hmm.)

In any case, I think this is probably the reason why you're feeling a disconnect; whereas in RTD's Who the main focus was on the companion, here the main focus is on the Doctor. Amy is there because a female companion is a series staple, because the Doctor needs a mystery to solve, and because Steven Moffat thought Karen Gillan was a bombshell. From his mouth:

"And I thought, 'well [Karen]'s really good. It's just a shame she's so wee and dumpy.' [. . .] When she was about to come through to the auditions I nipped out for a minute and I saw Karen walking on the corridor towards me and I realized she was 5'11, slim and gorgeous and I thought 'Oh, oh that'll probably work.'"

Note that this is not to discount Karen's acting ability at all, because she's a fantastic actress. It's just that Moffat wouldn't have picked her to play Amy if she was "wee and dumpy," and instead her being "5'11", slim, and gorgeous" was a deciding factor for him.

And then there's the whole . . . I don't even want to call it "romance" because I don't think that was ever the point. Because Moffat had already planned for Eleven to be with River Song (you met her briefly in season four), and Amy to be with Rory (their relationship is an archetype of his), and so really Amy throwing herself at the Doctor was meant to be more of a "isn't Karen Gillan hot, why don't we show her doing sexy things" and also "the Doctor is just That Irresistible," which is again something that Moffat does with Sherlock in BBC Sherlock, but that's another conversation.

TL;DR . . . I really don't like Moffat's Doctor Who. It's not for me. Moffat runs the show for Doctors Eleven and Twelve, and then all of the seasons with the Thirteenth Doctor are run by Chris Chibnall. But he's gone now as well, and Russel T. Davies is back for the 60th anniversary special (which brings back Donna and . . . they're calling him Fourteen because Thirteen regenerated into him, but it's David Tennant again), as well as the upcoming seasons with the Fifteenth Doctor. I'm excited to see those, since although RTD's seasons definitely have flaws, his method of telling Doctor Who was what I liked best.

And those are my thoughts!

#eggthew #moffat stans please don't try to argue with me abt any of this #it's just like my opinion man #i'm too old and tired to argue about a family oriented sci-fi show w/ people #doctor who #moffat critical

DOCTOR WHO TOP 10 - 1st Doctor

So, I threatened to do this a while ago, and I'm finally ready. This is my first top 10 in a series of Doctor Who top 10s.

Expanded universe wil be included, always. Let's go.

10. A Big Hand for the Doctor

Out of the 11 Doctors, 11 stories anthology, this might be my favourite one? Although a few of the others are great as well.

It's just so... weird. I mean, all of those short stories are likely written by people with little to no knowledge of eu. So Colfer (who I am predisposed to like, because I loved Artemis Fowl as a kid) isn't tied to... I dunno, Quinnis? Operation Proteus? He's probably never even heard of them. So he creates a glimpse of a whole new NewWho-esque era that takes place before Totter's Lane. One that (unlike the one presented in Fugitive of the Judoon) seems actually fun and interesting.

The 1st Doctor had a cybernetic arm for all of his episodes. Why? Because why the fuck not.

9. The Savages

Whenever some weird incel on the internet says "Doctor Who was never about politics!", the correct answer to that is "Shut the fuck up and go watch The Savages." Or it would be, if any of it still existed.

Don't get me wrong - William Hartnell's Doctor Who era was very political. Mostly with "Nazis bad" and "cold war bad", which are both solid takes. But this serial has balls.

It has no monsters, it's just a parable about South Africa. I don't know, I just think it's really cool for this children's sci-fi show in mid-1960s to go "Yeah, fuck apartheid!"

8. The Edge of Destruction

I haven't seen this one for years but from what I remember and what I know about it, I like it a lot. It's just this weird filler, except it's not at all, because it's an integral part of each character's arc. It has a profound weirdness about it which I adore.

It's Doctor Who, as originally intended.

7. Home Truths

I listened to this one recently for the first time and - wow. Just wow. It's just dripping with atmosphere. I love it a lot and need to listen to the rest of that trilogy now.

6. Dalek Invasion of Earth

It's the one where the Daleks... actually become the Daleks. From opressors on a futuristic planet, bound to a single city, to galactic conquerors. Iconic, and for very good reasons.

5. Journey Out of Terror

Simon Guerrier is just fucking excelent at writing the 1st Doctor, Ian, and Barbara. There's no way around it, this short story is properly brilliant and you should read it if you haven't done so yet.

4. The Daleks' Master Plan

I love the madness of the Master Plan. It's a lot bigger than manageable. It's ambitious and epic and I adore it to bits. It has the Monk! Huge empires! Jumping through time! Cold war parallels! A Christmas special! There's nothing like it. Hopefully more of it returns to the archives one day.

3. The Aztecs

The Aztecs is one of the purest Doctor Who experiences ever. It's really funny, but also quite dark. It has action and adventure, yet stops to think about history and culture, as well as the philosophy of time travel. It feels timeless.

2. The Keys of Marinus

The Keys of Marinus is widely disliked and overall not a beloved story. Which is, of course, bullshit.

I love it so goddamn much. It's the first "Classic Who" serial that was genuinely FUN for me to watch. It made me fall in love with Doctor Who again, in the same way I feel in love the 11th Doctor's era. It's amazing and should be recognised as such.

1. The Time Meddler

Alright, this is one the most beloved Hartnell era serials. And... for good reasons.

I love this story. It's clever and fun and inovative and just all around marvelous time. I can't help it, the Doctor x Monk rivalry just gets me. The setting is excellent. And it kinda invents the final bits of Doctor Who that weren't invented by Season 1.

Thoughts on the 11th ep of Hypmic Rhyme Anima+. Spoilers beware

Season 1 | Ep.1 | Ep.2 | Ep.3 | Ep.4 | Ep. 5 | Ep. 6 | Ep. 7 | Ep. 8 | Ep. 9 | Ep. 10

eyyy separating them into their gumis! the gentaro and jyushi interaction is cute and i love how worried jyushi is about hifu thats so sweet of him

i love how thats the part that kuko focuses on www

LMAO ramuda's cute

i love how ichiro's accent just slipped out a bit there its cute

hm i still think kaibyakumon is in the right

Hey look at that! we finally got why kenji is so invested in them. would have liked to see more of the three but ill take what i can get

honestly i wanna ship akira and satoru so bad wwww they have so much ship potential

YES. THANK YOU RAMUDA. just let them destroy each other my goodness

idk if this show wants to villainize or humanize kaibyakumon. like on one hand everyone's against him on principle but i don't see why they should be?? Ramuda is right, hes the answer to 90% of the casts outside problems

RIP HITOYA LMAO

i love how samatoki is probably the only consistent character here and just wants to be the one to punch the government in the face www

ugh i really wanted ramuda to have won that argument. it suckksss they really went with the most boring path

poor doppo, i feel so bad for him

even poor hifumi can't stand to watch ripp

i love seeing rio in his element, hes kinda cute like that

lmao rei being waving off his own son as if hes just a brat

man i do hope that they get their just revenge. it would be nice but unfortunately impossible just because of the nature of this sort of anime

LMAO HES SO EXHAUSTED THAT HES HALLUCINATING OH NOOOOOOO i feel so bad for doppo sometimes

wow for all that talk of stealth rio just blew up a whole wall

OOOOO GUMI SONG!!!!!!!!!!

hmm i don't like the last two songs as much but there is intresting wordplay to be found in ciaro's verses, especially one as an anti-governmental piece

damn so it seems like the last three episodes will be just the gumis going to each place and fighting off the others

oooo theres a bit of rio's rap ability on show with that shelter

HAHA DICE PUSHING RIO AWAYYYY

OH FUCK ARE THEY CORRUPTING THE DATA TO THE POINT WHERE THEY"RE KILLING AKIRA AND SATORU??????

ey look at that!! I did sort of predict the mass hypnosis! granted its subliminal messaging but im fine with being wrong once in a while

LMAO GAMBLER LIFE

damn theyre still gay after death

the "whos gonna answer my questions" has the same vibe as "who else will I eat icecream with?" thing from kingdom hearts wwww

bro i want a season just about these two idiots

hmm intresting design for scuro i do like it

man now i really do like akira and satoru. they're cool. I hate this bc i know in the end they'll die and kaibyakumon will get his ass kicked to preserve the status quo. i do hope that the anime does use this as a jumping off point tho bc the premise is pretty fun

tho they probably won't. as i said status quo as long as the source material still insists on the current status quo of keeping chuuoku in power. The drama CDs do seem like its building towards a conclusion but its not enough for any meaningful change yet.

tho the anime is original content and thus exists in a separate sphere from the CDs. Its entirely possible that they may move ahead and start shaking things up but i doubt it

lol why the dotsuhon ed they got so little screen time this episode ripp them

STACKED100 - MARCH POST

what is stacked100?

It’s something I thought up, inspired in part by “stackednatural”, but mostly by myself doing this with The Vampire Diaries this last year (see my #stackediaries tag). The gist of it is that you watch each episode of the show on the anniversary of their airing date. It “officially” started in October (with only two episodes) and it would end in September 2024. You can see the full schedule here.

what are we supposed to do with this

Whatever the hell you want lmao. Tag whatever post you make #stacked100 and go for it! Gifsets, live blogging, discussions… engage with other people as much or as little as you want. Watch some episodes and not others, for any reason. I’m doing this to have some fun with this VERY polarizing show, seeing how my perspective might be changed with hindsight + this specific way of watching it, and a bit because I miss my little corner of this messy as fuck fandom. But this is something you can do in whichever manner works for you, mate.

episodes to watch this month

under the cut because there's quite a few lol (we have God Complex ahead of us guys...).

-March 1st. Season 4 episode 5, "The Tinder Box". Clarke pleads with a former allied force to avoid a war and ensure her people's survival.

-March 3rd. Season 3 episode 7, "Thirteen". Anger and lust for vengeance and justice from the clans threatens Lexa's position. Murphy unveils new secrets about the identity of Polis. Meanwhile, a dangerous coup brews against Clarke and Lexa and their trust for each other is tested.

-March 4th. Season 2 episode 15, "Blood Must Have Blood: Part 1". As the Grounder army prepare to attack Mount Weather, a desperate Cage turns to Dante for help, and Raven and Wick experience a major setback.

-March 10th. Season 3 episode 8, "Terms and Conditions". Kane tries to stop Pike, but he learns that he is onto him. Kane realizes that for him to ensure peace in Arkadia, he'll have to go through drastic measures.

-March 11th. Season 2 episode 16, "Blood Must Have Blood: Part 2". After being betrayed by Lexa, Clarke makes a final stand against Mount Weather, while Jaha shocks Murphy as they continue their journey to the City of Light.

-March 15th. Season 4 episode 6, "We Will Rise". Clarke and Roan are forced to work together when they are tasked to deliver a dangerous but crucial asset to Abby through enemy territories.

-March 19th. Season 1 episode 1, "Pilot". 97 years after a nuclear war, human kind is living in space. 100 juvenile delinquents are sent down to Earth to see if the planet is habitable.

-March 22nd. Season 4 episode 7, "Gimme Shelter". Clarke's arrival on the island quickly takes a turn for the worse. Meanwhile, Bellamy tries to avoid further tragedy in Arkadia.

-March 26th. Season 1 episode 2, "Earth Skills". Discovering that Jasper may still be alive, Clarke, Bellamy, Finn, Wells and Murphy head out to find him. On the Ark, Abby is determined to prove Earth is habitable, and enlists a mechanic to craft an escape pod.

-March 29th. Season 4 episode 8, "God Complex". Clarke and Abby question how far they're willing to go when they make a disappointing discovery; Jaha finds a lead to the Second Dawn.

-March 31st. Season 3 episode 9, "Stealing Fire". Bellamy tries to save Kane from Pike. Clarke and Murphy debate over what to do with Titus and the A.I. Bellamy confronts Octavia.

2. There's been continued and more targeted Polite Menacing against Max, WB, and David Zaslav.

Lots of folks have been either responding to Max's Twitter / IG Post, and others have been focusing specifically on Zaslav.

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. I know that the new photos were both a welcome gift and also a heavy reminder of where OFMD is and what we've lost. For some it's helping them rally, and for others it's really pulling them down deeper into the gravy basket.

Wherever you are, just know it's gonna be okay. Whether we get an s3 or not, and if we do 10 years from now or next week, it's going to be alright. As so many others have said, including our lovely Con O'Neill, they can't take what we have away from us.

I continue to hear from the cast & crew in all their posts that we are some of the much amazing, kind, and engaging folks they've ever met, and you really should be proud of yourself for that. Our cast & crew are wonderful, but the fans are too.

On a slight side note, please if you can, check on your crew-mates today. The initial shock is starting to fade, but a lot of folks are still struggling, or coming back to struggling after a period of being okay. We're all riding the waves right now lovelies, and it'll take some work but we'll get through the storm, but it'll be easier together.

Our friend @thelatestkate has another lovely note for us.. and I second it. We are all weathering the storm right now, but you belong here, and we love that you're here with us, through tears or laughter, or unhinged fun. Be kind to yourselves lovelies, we are small but we are many, and we all care about you, I wish Sweet Dreams / Happy Days for you <3 Love you Crew.

== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

I've run out of images allowed on one post so we're just gonna do a combo one tonight, and since this scene is the theme of the day, we'll go with the goofiest one of all. Gif courtesy of @stedesbonnets / @edsrosetattoo (The gifs are being weird AF tonight, its showing one name but apparently it's not right? Apologies if I'm not crediting the right folks!)

Todays rip: 25/07/2023

SUNGORE

Season 4 Episode 2 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume V

Ripped by Grambam36 Visuals by Sarvéproductions

youtube

How to put this delicately...the 11th of September on the SiIvaGunner channel has at this point become a staple event-day for the channel, both despite and because of its real-world connotations. What began as yet another poor-taste joke of "celebration" in Season 1, has gradually become a time for the team to subvert all expectations with each year. The obvious - and least funny - joke to make is to celebrate the 9/11 attacks themselves, which is what Season 1 did: On the Seasons since, the date has become tied to some of the most creative and funny events in the channel's history. The obvious winner here is Season 4 Episode 1's "Not Funny Didn't Laugh" day, beginning on and being in reference to the day prior (09/10/19 -> 9 + 10 -> "What's 9 Plus 10? Twennyone?") and being one of the most delightfully absurd days on the channel's history.

Today though? Today, we're fucking invincible.

In reference to an infamous line from Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising, "The Good Ol' Day After 9/11" turned the 12th of September in Season 5 into an absolute madhouse of a day. 12 rips were uploaded - HALF of which were done by or with involvement from Grambam36 himself - and all focused on anything and everything Sundowner related. Though the entire event was fantastic, Grambam36 absolutely stole the show here, highlighting just how immaculate of an audio source Sundowner is and just how funny of a line "The Good Ol' Days After 9/11" really is. The entire event culminated in its most high-effort rip - SUNGORE, today's rip.

The rip is insane on so many levels, all of course grounded in the excellent YTPMV work in applying Rules of Nature's vocals and intensity to ASGORE. Even as the lyrics become unintelligible in the mix as it picks up the pace, their energy is infectious and parsable without any words. The pure hype of both songs carries through right until the change in audio and visuals halfway through, where the focus is brought back to the man of the day, Sundowner. For being a "calmer" moment in the original ASGORE, the rip takes a perfect opportunity to escalate here that works so effortlessly well. The visuals of course play a huge part in this, I want to give a gold star to whichever one of the two decided on adding

* He's FUCKING Invincible

-to the on-screen visuals at this part.

The rip just keeps getting better as it progresses and is, excluding obvious exceptions like fusion collabs and the like, one of the most clear-cut best examples of effective escalation in absurdity and humor I've experience in a rip. The entire rip is perfection - down to how, as the song ends, the "RULES OF NATURE"-shouts become legible again, with extra little samples of the line added on top of the main melody. What follows is a surprise I would hate to ruin for you, but suffice to say - this is an all-time favorite rip that I'm continuously shocked isn't more popular.

I think I make it pretty obvious, but I am a massive Rose Tyler fan. And before any of you say it's because she was my first companion, she wasn't. My first companion was Clara and my first doctor was 12 (whom I love dearly).

I just really like Rose's character. I like her story because of her.

And people are allowed to not like her. But if you don't, for fucks sake don't scream at people who do. In comments or reblogs. Your just being a massive fucking dick. Also, quick heads up: This post will contain a lot of quotes from Doctor Who. Alongside some crude language. Some might find offense to the topics I discuss in this or how I wrote it. I will not apologize for that, nor will I attempt to make this friendlier.

Continuing on. But if you don't like her on the basis of her and the Doctor being shipped or in a romantic relationship. Then by that logic you shouldn't like River, or Clara, or Yaz. Or anyone that the Doctor has had romantic interactions with and was/is a love interest. Because no matter how you feel, Rose and the Doctor were romantic.

No ifs ands or buts about it. Especially considering some moments that happen in canon. A few that spring to mind are: "I could save the world but lose you." -9th Doctor, Season 1 Episode 5 'World War 3' to Rose ^- This quote is 9 all but admitting he's in love with her. The thought that saving the world would mean losing her is something he couldn't bear to happen. "What use are emotions, if you will not save the woman you love?" -Dalek / "I killed her once I can't do it again." -9th Doctor, Season 1 Episode 6 'Dalek' ^- Even a fucking Dalek could tell he was in love with her. A Dalek who had only recently begun to understand feelings outside of hatred, because of Rose. "He[Metacrisis 10] needs you. That's very me." -10th Doctor, Season 4 Episode 13 'Journey's End' to Rose "But if I believe in one thing... just one thing... I believe in her!" -10th Doctor, Season 2 Episode 9 'The Satan Pit' to The Beast/Satan ^- This is part of a larger quote but this is the most memorable part. The whole thing is: "But that implies, in this big grand scheme of gods and devils, that she's just a victim. Well, I've seen a lot of this universe. I've seen fake gods and bad gods and demi-gods and would-be gods. I've had the whole pantheon. But if I believe in one thing... just one thing... I believe in her!"

There are a few other examples that I can think of but I can't remember the exact phrasing. Like when Donna asked 10 what Rose and him were and he said, "We were... together." Those few obviously point out the Doctor's feelings for Rose. And even if you want to ignore those you can't ignore the fact that in Journey's End, Rose and Tentoo end up together. Comics even stating that they have a daughter together (Mia: Empire of the Wolf).

Hell even later on in the show when RTD wasn't the showrunner anymore there were still references to Rose. Like in Season 6's Episode 8 'Let's Kill Hitler' when the Doctor stumbles into the TARDIS and the emergency program activates and at first it's him, in his 11th incarnation, his current one. He says[pleads] "Oh, give me someone I like!" and the TARDIS chose Rose as the first choice, and don't give me any bullshit. The TARDIS is fully sentient and can understand the Doctor (stated in Season 6's Episode 4 'The Doctor's Wife'). The TARDIS heard the Doctor and chose someone she thought he'd like.

Oh! You want another example? How about Season 7's Episode 9 'Hide', featuring 11 and Clara when he's talking to her after the episode adventure is pretty much concluded about love, "It’s the oldest story in the universe. This one or any other. Boy and girl fall in love, get separated by events–war, politics, accidents in time. She’s thrown out of the hex or he’s thrown into it. Since then they’ve been yearning for each other across time and space. Across dimensions. This isn’t a ghost story, it’s a love story." Some specific points are literally parallels to Rose and the Doctor.

There's probably a few others that could be pointed out that are slipping my mind right now. Oooh how about this one: "Blimey" -9 / "Don't laugh." -Rose / "You look beautiful. Considering." -9 / "Considering what?" -Rose / "That you're a human." -9th Doctor, Season 1 Episode 3 'The Unquiet Dead'

If those don't read to you as the Doctor in love I don't know what would.

And if your wondering 'where is the evidence for Rose having feelings HUH smart guy???' ... do I need point out the episode where Rose canonly confesses her love for him? I do? Oh, ok. Here ya go: [Rose, choking on tears] "I... I love you." / [10 looking at her] Quite right too. (pause) And I suppose... if it's my last chance to say it... Rose Tyler - {connection ends} - Season 2 Episode 13 'Doomsday' ^- She FUCKING CONFESSED HER LOVE TO HIM!!!! And even though we don't actually know what 10 was going to say it is heavily implied that he was going to say 'I love you' back to her. Believing it would be his only chance ever. "You're never gonna see her again, your own mother!" -10 / "I made my choice a long time ago." -Rose, Season 2 Episode 13 'Doomsday' ^- Rose is willing to sacrifice being with her mother to stay with him. "How long are you gonna stay with me?"-10 / "Forever." -Rose, Season 2 Episode something ^- I can't remember the episode that this happens but I think it /might/ be School Reunion.

Even taking out the romantic stuff for their relationship they're friends.

Continuing to add more evidence from quote in the actual show: "So the year five billion, the sun expands, the earth gets roasted..." -10 / "That was our first date." -Rose / "We had chips!" -10, Season 2 Episode 1 'New Earth' ^- Oh? Would you look at that! Both of them think of that as their first date. And-AND in the episode that's mentioned, Season 1 Episode 2 'The End of the World' after the adventure they go to have chips and 9 says he doesn't have any money making Rose say that he's a 'cheap date'. Which he doesn't deny. "I don't age. I regenerate. But humans decay. You wither and you die. Imagine watching that happen to someone you..." -10 / "What, Doctor?" -Rose / "You can spend the rest of your life with me. But I can't spend the rest of mine with you. I have to live on, alone. That's the curse of the Timelords." -10, Season 2 Episode 3 'School Reunion' ^- My oh my, its almost like he's in love with her but holding back cause he doesn't want to see her die before his very eyes. "You can tell you're getting older, your assistants are getting younger." -Sarah Jane Smith / "I'm not his assistant." -Rose / "No?" [to 10] "Get you, tiger." -Sarah Jane Smith, Season 2 Episode 3 'School Reunion'

"Can you build another Tardis?" -Rose / "They were grown, not built. And with my home planet gone... we're kind of stuck" -10 / "Well, it could be worse; this lot said they'd give us a lift." -Rose / "And then what?" -10 / "I don't know. Find a planet, get a job, live a life, same as the rest of the universe." -Rose / "I'll have to settle down. With a house or something - a proper house with... with, with doors and things - carpets! Me! Living in a house!... Now that, that - that is terrifying." -10 / "You'd have to get a mortgage!" -Rose / "No!" -10 / "Oh yes!" -Rose / "No, I'm dying, that's it, it is all over." -10 / "What about me? I'd have to get one too!" [pause] "I don't know, we could have the same one, we could both... I don't know, share... or not. Whatever. I don't know, all sorts of..." -Rose / "Anyway" -10 / "We'll see." -Rose / [pause] "I promised Jackie I'd always take you back home" -10 / "Everyone leaves home in the end." -Rose / "Not to end up stuck here." -10 / " Yeah, but stuck with you - that's not so bad." -Rose / "Yeah?" -10 / "Yes." -Rose, Season 2 Episode 8 'The Impossible Planet' ^- Good gods look at that! Rose being fully accepting and telling 10 that being stuck with him wouldn't be so bad and him not being able to believe that someone would want to stay with him and he's like 'yeah?' because someone willingly staying with him and never leaving is such a foreign concept.

"They did what?" -10 / "I'm sorry?" -Detective Inspector Bishop / "They left her[Rose] where?" -10 / "Just... in the street." -Detective Inspector Bishop / "The street. They left her in the street. The took her face, and just chucked her out and left her in the street. And as a result, that makes things... simple. Very, very simple. Do you know why?" -10 / "No." -Detective Inspector Bishop / "Because now, Detective Inspector Bishop, there is no power on this earth that can stop me!" -10, Season 2 Episode 7 'The Idiot's Lantern' ^- As dark as this may seem, it certainly isn't 10's worst after losing Rose. That honour would go to when he was fully willing to DIE after losing her as we saw in 'Turn Left'. Rose is so fucking special to him that any time she is harmed and gone he loses it. She is the one holding him together.

Also for fucks sake she was constantly a presence in Season's 3 and 4 of the revival. Also also, during several episodes starting as early as Season 1 Episode 2 'The End of the World' people assume that they are together romantically.

And if you try to pull; "Oh but River is canonically married to the Doctor!" so is Rose. She is married to Tentoo, who is the Doctor. Also River is not solely married to the Doctor, it is established in canon that River was/has been married to multiple people outside of the Doctor. While married to him.

Reality is I could expand upon this post a lot more, but I'm choosing to cut myself off here.
