reading and watching “classic” books and films is such an interesting experience because, before you get into them, when you only know them by name and maybe the vaguest plot outline, they’re intimidating and stuffy and up on a pedestal, but then you finally take the leap and check them out and realize that almost every story that’s achieved such a legendary level of popularity did so because something in its emotional core reached out and grabbed a lot of people by the throat and you are NOT immune.

#not that anyone but me probably needs to hear this but…#it’s OKAY to have Big Feelings about popular things #they’re popular for a reason - it makes sense to have a big reaction #but yeah - i should really know by now but i’m STILL floored every time i read or watch a classic and it Gets Me #like. this story has been Getting people for decades or centuries or MILLENNIA and yet STILL i’m surprised #‘i didn’t think the story would Get me’ says man about story that’s Gotten everyone who’s ever heard it

“When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.”

#frankenstein #victor frankenstein #gothic literature #gothic art #gothic lit #mary shelley #lucifer #the fallen angel #we all saw this one coming #I’m very happy w how this turned out #and yes I used colour for once and not just in the creature eyes go me #I thought about doing just the cropped version of this painting but I can’t ever make anything easy for myself #I’m glad people seem to be enjoying this series #which I guess has morphed in to Frankenstein But in Classical Art #based on the fallen angel by Alexandre Cabanel #anyway it’s Friday!! I’m gonna watch a movie and have some good food :)))#my art

The little Courage the cowardly dog-esque paws on this drawing just sent me for some reason I'm so sorry I just had to quickly doodle a little Machete the cowardly dog XD

.

#♣ ♣ ♣ ♣#a l a r m e d #Machete the cowardly dog #that's just normal Machete #standard state of mind #he needs to be spritzed with one of those calming pet sprays #A++ paws indeed #approving the extra intense eyebags on this one #also lovely linework #very lively and expressive #gift art #lepusrufus #answered #own characters #Machete #Courage the cowardly dog is one of those shows I've never watched and only know through social media osmosis #I don't think it was ever imported here and if it was it was probably on one of the cable channels that we never had when I was young #apparently it's considered something of a cult classic or at least above average #traumatized a lot of folks I've heard

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

Blink

Synopsis

In an abandoned house, the Weeping Angels wait. The only hope to stop them is a young woman named Sally Sparrow and her friend Larry Nightingale. The only catch: the Weeping Angels can move in the blink of an eye. To defeat the ruthless enemy — with only a half of a conversation from the Tenth Doctor as help — the one rule is this: don't turn your back, don't look away and don't blink!

Propaganda no propaganda submitted

City of Death

Synopsis

While taking in the sights of Paris in 1979, the Fourth Doctor and Romana sense that someone is tampering with time. Who is the mysterious Count Scarlioni? Why does he seem to have counterparts scattered through time? And just how many copies of the Mona Lisa did Leonardo da Vinci paint?

Propaganda

even if your not a classic who fan, you have seen moments from this, “wonderful butler, he’s so violent”, “youre a beautiful woman, probably”, “if you wanted an omelette I’d expect to find a pile of broken crockery, a cooker in flames, and an unconscious chef”. The location shooting, iconic, the music, iconic, the plot, so iconic I was once watching something (non doctor who) that referenced it as a fake historical event. Dare I say duggan is the greatest side character of all time. Romana’s outfit, the design of scaroth, the implication time lords can fly. it’s not my favourite overall, but its damn near close, it deserves AT LEAST the semi finals, AT LEAST. If you’ve not seen it or any classic who, go watch it, its so good, one of the best of the era. Also, how could I forget, the most watched episode on broadcast out of all of doctor who, including new who. (yes it was because itv was off the air due to strikes, but im glad its this episode that holds the record) (anonymous)

Broke: 'Watching the show' fics where companions only watch episodes that happened post-Time War

Woke: 'Watching the show' fics where the companions are subjected to a temporally complex shitshow from before, during, and after the Time War where they see some of the most depraved shit I can find in the EU

I have now watched* every. single. episode. of Doctor Who ever made over the course of two and a half months.

Do I regret doing this? No. Did I have a good time and rekindle my enjoyment of the series? Yes. Did I watch some amazing stories that I would not have watched? Yes. Did I gain a new appreciation for every single Doctor, especially the ones who I hadn't watched or had written off before? Oh, yeah, definitely, 7 is now one of my favorite Doctors.

Would I recommend anyone else do this? Absolutely the fuck not, even for people who love the show.

I also now have reviews of every story and I have ratings sorted by: Doctor, season, writer, director, companion, and enemy. My next project is to get this data but into a database so I can sharpen my skills since I am a data analyst for a living.

*or listened to in the case where only audio of the episodes survived

#doctor who #if anyone is curious i started with watching any episode featuring sarah jane #i just finished the green death #technically i started with Pyramids of Mars but only because thats the first classic who serial i ever saw and its very near and dear to me

I loveloveloveLOVE watching old doctor who and seeing all the little line flubs, when the actors talk over each other, the times they almost fall over a piece of set or fumble a prop because you just know they didn't have enough film to do another take it's truly my favourite thing in the world

#I'm on my second troughton story ever and all the little flubs bring me so much joy like actually #it doesn't break my immersion it actually makes me engage more #because within the canon it so quickly humanises everyone from the doctor to the villians #like I know it's just a budget thing and from most of the actors probably coming from theatre so they're used to just powering through #but it's so cool to watch from a future perspective!!#doctor who #classic who #second doctor

Hank with an Eldritch Horror Reader

Here's another thing I wrote two years back! It was an interesting concept which I really liked, so I actually really enjoyed writing this request!

Hank J Wimbleton was a grunt of many things, but not one to be scared unless he had a good reason to be. There were many things in this world he did not understand, you were one of them. Upon meeting you, his first instinct would have been to either fight or run away - who could blame him, it was all he knew. No matter how many times you reassured him that the very last thing you wanted to do was to harm him, he’d draw his weapon, uncertain of whether or not he should believe your words.

Once you show no resistance towards him whatsoever and simply restrain him using your powers or other methods, that’s when, thrashing around as much as he could, he would start listening. You may or may not have seen a grunt up close, but this was your chance to finally examine one. As you scrutinise him from every possible angle Hank realises that you were simply curious about his being and finally lowers weapon.

Your voice would likely hurt his head and freeze the blood in his veins, so you might have to resort to telepathy or speak through a marionette, if you can find one. Though, once Hank’s interest in you has been piqued, he’d be more than happy to find you one. A lot of people in Nevada seem to be redundant in the first place. Regarding telepathy: You will be able to have a two-way conversation with Hank like that, but, for the most part, he doesn’t think in words. Still, he can do so, if needed.

If you’re on the rather small side, he will make an effort to pick you up, or hold you, and bring you back to base. Depending on whether you can float or not, this might be rather difficult, but he’ll try. If you’re large, however, then he will simply “tell” you to follow him. As an eldritch being you could likely either change your form or scare away anyone in your path in the first place, so he doesn’t particularly worry about anyone being stupid enough to attack you.

Spend time with him, he’ll get used to you more and more and, eventually, grow a bond with you. Proud, he’ll show you to Doc so he can figure out what you are, but do not be fooled. Hank wants to know what you are to some degree too. Once comfortable with you and certain you won’t harm him, he’ll start observing you, touching you to some degree. See how you react, how you feel, how you are.

Despite your conversations being, for the most part, one-sided, Hank will ask you directly what you are and if you’re some form of eldritch deity. Since you’re an amicable creature he can’t exactly wrap his head around, it’s worth a try.

Although he would like to do so to some degree, he won’t take you with him on missions. It’s his way of saying “I care a great deal about you, I don’t want you to die or worse even if you are capable of defending yourself.” If you really insist on aiding him, he will let you, begrudgingly. But beware that he will have your back. In fact, having you around will give him a greater reason to fight and improve his overall performance. Though, it will also be a major stress factor to him if something were to happen to you, so choose wisely.
