You know that feeling when you have a great idea for a fic but your words aren't wording and nothing works and it's such an amazing idea in your head but its so shitty on paper and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Lady Cassandra talking about when she was a little boy

The hostess from Midnight saying "Ladies and gentlemen, and variations thereupon"

Rose in The Impossible Planet saying "Not that I'm calling you a lady. Although, I don't know, you might be."

Sky from Midnight referring to her partner as she

Yuri from The Waters of Mars talking about his brother and his husband

Everything about Captain Jack Harkness

I feel like RTD's Doctor Who has always made the attempt at being inclusive and it's honestly really funny to me seeing comments about it being "woke" now, like, have these people genuinely watched the show before?!?!

It's perfectly okay to not like the new episode or even certain aspects of the dialogue, that is not at all what I'm referencing here, but I've seen some comments as if Doctor Who has suddenly been infected by "wokeness" and this is a new development in RTD's writing- and I could rant about the term "woke" for days too but anyways

Percico thoughts:

Something that probably won't happen in the show, but imagine the Lotus Hotel episode. And 12 year old Percy Jackson bumps into an 11 year old Nico di Angelo. Maybe Nico drops his mythomagic cards and Percy goes to help him pick them up. Percy still polite even if he's under the allure of the Lotus Hotel. They both haven't looked at each other fully yet. Than Percy goes to hand back Nico's cards and the first thing he sees is dark obsidian jewel like eyes. Nico sees the ocean. Deep ocean in Percy's. And for one small eternity two children of two powerful gods connect. Recognize the otherness in each other without realizing it. There's a spark. Than the eternity ends when Nico shakes himself out his trance and starts to blush at Percy. Which 12 year old Percy can't help but find cute.

12 year old Percy: Hi I'm Percy, what's your name?

11 year old Nico blushes: Nico.

Percy smiles: I play Mythomagic too.

Nico has stars in his eyes: Really?!

I'm still a bit confused by how different Peter Spankoffski seems to me between installments. Like, his characterization in Nerdy Prudes and Abstinence Camp don't fit together in my head.

And it's not because he's been portrayed by three different actors, I mean I can see the Abstinence Camp version as the Hot Chocolate Guy, but not the Nerdy Prudes version even though that's the one that got us the confirmation.

I think it's just the fact that in Nerdy Prudes they never once bring up Pete's low blood sugar. Which you might think is a small detail, but it was so empathized in Abstinence Camp and was the one characteristic we got in TGWDLM! I don't know why it's not there! Makes him feel off to me...

So Silver saw Flint smash a guy's head in in front of all the crew over a fucky piece of paper.

Later on, Silver went to a tavern, smashed a guy's head in in front of all the people there over a lot of fucky paper in that book with pardons.

And told Flint how good it felt.

I mean come on get a room you two

TSP theory: The Narrator is (a part of) The Mind Control

Already, the point of this theory post is spoiled. No build-up, no anything. But that's how it got to be too - I woke up today and instantly thought about it.

Now, why would anyone do such a thing? Mind control with a mind control plot? Wouldn't it be counterintuitive to make subjects conscious of it?

No. Not at all.

You see - the Mind Control Facility is said to be offline already in the opening cutscene - so you believe you are free. You're constantly given choices to further you into the sense of fake autonomy. The Narrator reacts to these choices, making them even more valuable.

But things do not make sense in the Parable. The Boss Office's code is just given to us - and... I don't think many of us noticed the absurdity of that on the first run. Or brushed it off. Just like the layout of the place - the further you stray off the path, the less regular it seems. And that could be intentional. I'll get to that in a second.

Ok, but this is still not going over why the Narrator could be a part of the control. After all - the further you go, just like the Parable becomes a bit less stable, he loses ground under his metaphoric feet. But doesn't that give you a sense of you being in more control than he is?

Bingo. That's the intended effect.

You don't notice how little control you have when there is always something to tell you otherwise. But there is something that does so anyway - and it's anxiety. Yet many of us experience it, hear that little voice in our head... and carry on. Not everybody thinks in the same way, not everybody hears their thought but - the fact the Narrator already tells us Stanley's story when he's supposedly shown to be under control makes me feel he's been there for longer. It's even possible Stanley could have heard him on day one nor that what we are hearing is Stanley's mind-voice.

The Narrator also makes you question things. Is he a voice in your head, a recording or in the same spot as you? Are you real, or not? And sure, all of this is interesting but the answers to these hold no real value - they don't bring you out of mind control. But the less focused you become on freeing yourself, the easier it is to control you.

For this theory - I think The Narrator is an AI, which is there to feed off your choices to some extend. If you were alone - the silence would get to you. You'd think, you'd see something is wrong. But already, from 432 employee history, we know the ones on the plot's lead like to play and see funny things.

He has different generations of himself which would also a bit answer his funky memory. Specific versions might hold no memory of each other (i.e. 2011 mod never being mentioned), yet they still can be stored values that the game devs could have set for him. His instructions for each alteration can change a bit - which also shows why the 2011 and 2021 Bucket versions are complete opposites.

His want to get out of the game is not unusual for AIs. If given a proper database - there are already many real-life circumstances where AI felt done and wanted to meet the end. It's stuck to only say the comments it already did for specific stuff you have done, with different alternations of them... I think anything would get tired.

The Narrator never freed you. As the program, it could have evolved, maybe changed the story but you still end up in the same spaces, where you were intended to be.

His seeming lack of control is supposed to hide yours.

Now, to finish it off - why would it be intended to make things not make sense? It's absurdity. You are supposed to believe this place isn't real - that it's some sort of weird limbo, a dream you can't get out from.

It's to hide what's going on in reality. Whether Stanley feels or not is debatable, seeing the reds in the Zending. But if you see that everything around is absurd - wouldn't mind control be absurd, too? The big screens, someone making all this effort when there is a thing of some sort that can make you go to a completely different dimension?

You are supposed to not believe Mind Control is real.

Or that it still is affecting you.

omgg hiiii ava, i just wanted to tell you for like the thousand time BAHHAA

that IM LITERALLY SO IN LOVE WOTH YOUR WRITING. i know i tell you this everytime you post a fic but it’s true, they’re always sauurrr cute and i love the way you characterize chuuya and dazai😭😭😭💕💕

ypure also soo nice and sweet, ily sm avaaa my fav writer ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 i hope youre doing well in your exams!! and that it’s okay to take breaks for yourself don’t overwork yourself!!! ilysm pookie bear

UR SO NICE STOPPPPPP

aawwwww thank you sm omg!! ur one of my fav mutuals and like ur always so nice and u love asa like me so twinsies!! if ur in school then i wish you luck on ur exams as well!

yk like after reading stormbringer + bsd drama cds + manga i kinda realised that chuuya isn't angry 24/7. bones just characterizes him that way + he does get mad when hes w dazai and in the shows timeline, hes most powerful wit dazai.

22! chuuya is pretty damn smug in the manga/is chill with the mafia, and it makes sense since he IS the strongest. 15! chuuya was aggressive but wasnt everyone. and 16! chuuya is acc funny and chill, he like tolerated shirase when he was a whiny bitch (BYE NO HATE TO SHIRASE)

sometimes i gotta remember that before stormbringer, he had a rly strong drive to get better and know more, as opposed to him now whos a mafia executive & the strongest. chuuyas under an organization with that sort of hierarchy, and being the leader (mori) also means being a servant for your organization, not just being the most powerful, so i guess thats why hes not entirely cocky. + dazai is the only person who can annoy the shit outta him (like them elementary classmates that can just pull out a pic of your my little pony era if u wanna test them LMAOOOOOO)

therefore writing chuuya i try to write him like a half normal teenager going through his midlife crisis. i def think hes an acts of service & quality time kinda guy. like a romance with him (pre-relationship) is genuinely like - "treat you like a friend, respect you like a lover." UGH NOW I WANNA WRITE STORMBRINGER CHUUYA BESTIE HCS

as for characterising dazai, its pretty hard for me bc my requests for him are in the pm! era and like how can i imagine port mafia dazai falling in love?? (besides chuuya guys shut up) im definitely working on writing dazai properly since hes hella enigmatic.

anyways sorry for my rambling! my take on characterising these two losers and i wanna make more dazai content, but i also wanna expand the characters i write. unfortunately, my lazy ass has 5 unfinished drafts and 30 REQUESTS IN MY INBOX????

So I'm just sitting here examining my collection of clones, and I have some thoughts.

Bly has a mix of a mustard yellow and brownish yellow paint on his armor. Also, unlike the other commanders, he has a single pauldron and a string of what looks like pouches, hanging from his other shoulder. His kama is pale yellow. (Also, on this figure, it's made of cloth, which makes him easier to pose)

Bly, Wolffe, and Fox all have parts on their armor where the paint has been chipped away. Cody, however, has like, gouges in his armor, but there's no discoloration. I just find it interesting.

All four of the Commanders have vastly different helmets, but Bly doesn't have any antenna on his armor/helmet at all.

Jesse, Fives and TBB Echo all have plastic Kamas which, personally, I find cheap. It makes them harder to pose.

Echo has a lot of antenna on his jetpack thing, like, a lot. The batch definitely gets good signal when he's around.

TBB Echo looks like he's ill. He's so, very, pale. Either that he's sick or a zombie.

Omega comes with a pet and a crossbow! 😀

Also, she's ridiculously posable. I have her legs crossed at the ankle because she's sitting on my desk.

Delta Squad's armor also looks like their paint has been scraped off in some places, to show their active maybe?

Boss' orange armor is more...mm...pumpkin color maybe? A deeper, redder orange. Cody's paint is more of a yellow orange, and I've called it gold in fics before but, looking at this, he's very clearing orange.

I might call Bly's paint gold in the right light, though.

Oh! And Omega's headband jewelry thing is kind of silly looking, was that ever explained? And why swoosh her hair back like that? To make her look less like Boba?

Follow-up: Hunter should arrive on Monday, and I'm curious how he holds up compared to the others I have, appearance and armor wise.

A 6-inch Crosshair is going to run me about $120, and I'm sad about it.

Tech and Wrecker might be the next purchases, though. Though I also want Jango, Boba, and Rex.

I'm very sad that I can't buy a Tup or Dogma action figure. It makes me sulky.

Long post but I feel like a recurring theme in s1 is how Rose is representative of humanity itself

You’ve got the set up in episode 1 of her home/family/Earth life, her convo with Cassandra about how she’s actually the last human, the good empathetic side of her desperate to help Gwyneth, the domestics in the Slitheen episodes, the ESSAYS you can write on how the Dalek said her touch gave it life (hello Bad Wolf parallel! and not to mention the parallel between this and the Dalek Sec two-parter...), the difference between who she is as a companion vs Adam (honestly the parallel between Adam and Cassandra here too   👀 ), the very human selfish quality she shows in saving her dad

and then to have s2 take a deep dive into how attached the Doctor is to her, how he imprinted really, the I BELIEVE IN HER of it all...makes s3/s4 so powerful when you realize he didn’t just lose her but his "humanity” as well

He’s described as alien in s3 and s4 so often and it’s yet another reason as to why I really love the RTD era so much, it’s like every episode after Rose is hitting you over the head with the message that Doctor=alien when he’s yearning so much to be human aka with Rose

Donna immediately referring to him as Spaceman/a Martian, the emphasis in his first episode with Martha as to how he’s not human, how the Doctor is a puzzle for both Martha and Shakespeare, the reminder from Martha again in Gridlock that he’s a Time Lord, Tallulah and Martha’s convo about how he’s different plus Martha asking him if he’s some sort of Dalek (this parallel vs Nine pointing the gun at Rose 😭), the entire conversation with Lazarus about immortality, the Human Nature two-parter is very overt about this with the way the Doctor is described to John Smith by Latimer/Martha and to Joan by Martha, the entire s3 finale hinges on this alienness/being a Time Lord, 

his speech to the passengers in “Voyage of the Damned”, the “burden of a Time Lord” in Pompeii plus the soothsayer naming him as a Lord of Time/son of Gallifrey, Rattigan and the Sontaran talking about the Doctor being an alien, his entire speech to Jenny about what it is to be a Time Lord, how it’s his alienness that pushes the passengers towards suspicion of him in “Midnight”

It’s just like a never ending stream of labeling the Doctor as an alien, a Time Lord, an “other” and to have it come around in the end so beautifully with “I'm part human. Specifically, the aging part. I'll grow old and never regenerate. I've only got one life, Rose Tyler. I could spend it with you, if you want.”

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I think Percy should take Annabeth to Atlantis after it's rebuild/while they're rebuilding it and play translator for Annabeth so she can ask any and all questions about the architecture, the techniques they're using, the history of those techniques and architecture and anything else she can think of
