#best companion ever

[wsdk-artwork]

So The other Night I listened to the Traitor again.

Omfg I just need to rant somewhere. I might do this a bit more often on here as Sometimes I just need to ramble on Big Finish that makes me happy.

So as mentioned a while ago I’ve been re-listening to Dark Eyes as I’m slowly showing it to a friend. (They ended up liking Molly btw) and we listened to the Traitor the other day. I honestly love this story more each time I hear it, the main stuff with the Dalek’s here is just rinse and repeat from other Briggs scripts but that’s not what is really important here… it’s just Backdrop for what is

Nicola Walker as Liv Chenka, Liv had previously made an appearance with the seventh doctor and don’t get me wrong, she’s a likeable and well developed companion surrogate in Robophobia but this is her proper Introduction as a companion and it’s one of the best ever. Throughout the entire story she stands out as such a strong voice against the Doctor, the Daleks and the resistance, her moral but agresiva character shines through so strong. She’s brave/stubborn as hell basically telling Daleks to fuck off and listen to her and saying “what more can the do, Kill me? So what” but when push comes to shove she very clearly doesn’t want to die, upon their capture at the end and meeting the time controller she says as much with her voice shaking, throughout the whole story she’s been advocating to not sacrifice anyone to stop the Daleks but in the last moments when she thinks it’s all over for her despite her fear she snaps and gives a beautifully wilful heartbreaking speech.

She changes her mind stating that stopping them is more important in the long run (Prompting The Doctor to state that it can’t be a Numbers Game, similar to his sentiment at the end of Dark eyes 1 when it was sacrifice molly & stop the Daleks or save her and them, it’s wonderful build up for 8’s &War’s Dilemma in the time war) and after living under their occupation she doesn’t care about what other threat is out there so long as they can stop the Daleks. It’s one of the best moments of her character and perfectly sets up the kind of person she is. The entire end sequence is gold, from Liv, to the Dilemma, to mcganns performance as the doctor is pushed into the corner. Plus the Dalek Time controller just being a wonderfully written and portrayed character despite being a dalek (something to be show can’t do properly seemingly) Liv could not have had a better introduction story to the EDA’s

Only other note: it’s kind of odd how the Daleks now just go from DE untill 4.2, like this episode set up a lot, from the doctor needing them to stop the eminence making it seem like they were gonna end up fighting one another, with the eminence fleet approaching the system. To the Planetary súper-weapon set up in the story that you’d think would come up again. But nope in 2.4 the Daleks leave Nyxces 7 and the doctor and don’t show up again until after the Eminence is gone and it’s very odd. I don’t mind too much though as whilst I love the Daleks they can get tiring especially after 5 straight Daleks stories (7 if you count the previous EDA’s) my friend even said they were glad to hear that they were gone for now as it had started to feel repetitive. Something this episode even seems to comment on with the Daleks constantly falling into the same old pitfalls over and over.

Detectives at the Disco (Elysium)

#disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #harry du bois #“Hail holy queen of the sea -- You're whirling in rags -- You're vast and you're sad.” #I have been taken back by the disco fever and I wanted to draw these guys now that I can...y'know...draw. #I owe a lot to DE honestly. #If it were not for yagrandmapeach's daily disco elysium comics this blog would have never existed. #The idea that I could do lighthearted daily doodles made art feel possible and approachable. That fun was most important! #I was so inspired by their fun style and goofs! I loved the pen on paper look and their stylizations! #I'm still really inspired by them to this day! Peach if you're out there (unlikely)...Thank you for all the art you have shared. #To those who are considering giving DE a try: please be aware of it's many content warnings. #It is dark but also so extremely full of hope and love!!! #it's a murder mystery where you think you're supposed to be finding the culprit but you end up finding....yourself. #Also it has Kim Kitsuragi. The best companion you will ever have in a video game. #And it lets you dress up a stinky old man in whatever clothes he finds lying around. It's great.

Remember how they pointed out that Palistrom wood was becoming rarer? Because Belos kept over harvesting it and not giving it time to grow back?

The University’s tree is blue. Its a big ass Palistrom tree

#I THINK. PROBABLY #I haven’t seen any other trees in the show coloured blue. but it has the swirls like Luz’s log #ALSO THE LIGHT GLYPH CARVED ABOVE EDAS OFFICE SNIFFLE #I’ve been seeing a lot of posts abt how the isles are recovering from Belos like removing the coven tattoos and #eda raine and king stomping on Belos. but I thought this was a nice callback #Belos didnt just hurt the people on the isles. he also destroyed a lot of stuff that was culturally important #palistrom makes companions and tools for people on the isles and Belos took all of it for himself. greedy bastard #ALSO if u notice on the banner above the University’s entrance theres a symbol shaped like a titan skull #and if you look at the scene with raine ever wolf and Darius you can see they have the same symbol as a badge or on Darius’ belt #so I assume that means the Isles also formed a new government after Belos died. the fact its shaped like the titan is also cool cause they #dont need to rely on some puritan to lead them pretending tk have their best interests in mind #the Emperors sigil doesn’t even have anything associated with the Isles in the first place either. its Belos imposing his own beliefs #yapping #the owl house #the owl house spoilers #toh #toh spoilers #toh watching and dreaming #watching and dreaming spoilers

Feeling very insane about the fact that, in a way, being a bad Sharran is what saves Shadowheart in the end

Because like. She's not supposed to be bad at keeping secrets. She's not supposed to be vulnerable, kind, or hopeful. She's not supposed to get attached to anything or anyone

Yet, it's these things that allow her to get close to the pc and the group as a whole. The more she fails to keep Shar's secrets the more she opens up to you, and the more she opens up to you the more you have the chance to build a relationship with her, and it's through having that relationship that she finds the courage to defy Shar

If she had been a better Sharran she never would have built that bond at all, she wouldn't have felt safe to make the decision she did, and probably no one would have trusted her enough to let her decide to begin with

Shadowheart is saved because she is loved, and Shadowheart is loved because she cannot stop being herself no matter how hard she tries

#shadowheart #bg3 #feeling very queer about Shadowheart in this chilli's tonight #anyway obviously this is very geared towards a specific version of her quest but I think it's the most common one and the one I like best #so shhhh #I think she's the only companion where having a good relationship with her directly affects her story in that way #Lae'zel will turn against Vlaakith mostly through getting the facts #Astarion needs you to persuade him and/or get in his head #but Shadowheart needs to feel loved #that's all she ever wanted from Shar anyway #it's so rewarding when she instead finds it with people that don't ask her to be something she's not #(also why her romance so much to her plot even without locking too much content behind it but that's another post)

I'm about to finish Rose's run of Doctor Who (only Doomsday is left) and I have no idea what I'm going to do after that. She's MY first companion and she'll forever be my favorite. I've been blessed with her existence and now I am about to have her ripped away from me in an instant. Is this what heartbreak feels like? Is this the end of the world? How will I cope?

do you think that what the doctor usually feels for companions, rather than romantic or sexual attraction, might just be idolisation?

#just thinknig abt how 13 calls river 'on eof the best people ive ever known' #which might just be her echoing yazs words bc that seems to be the only way she knows how to communicate #but it's also like the most open i can think of the doctor ever being wrt how they feel abt river #and thinking of 10 in the satan pit going i dont believe in god i believe in rose instead #and how much of an influence rose had on the doctor #maybe its less the companion does a doctor arc and more the doctor and the companion will inevitably grow toward each other #clara and the doctor matched in specific ways that just like maybe amplified them #they didnt like balance out they become More Them #did everything the way the other wouldve done who wouldve done it the way they wouldve done #feedback loop #13 mightve worried for the same with yaz honestly #they wouldve become something very different to 12 and clara i think but no less powerful #terrifying in different ways #maybe less 'i'll kill the world to get you back' and more 'i'll kill myself to get you back' #more inward-focused in that part of it while more outward focused in the like adventure parts #Helping People rather than 12claras adrenaline junkie adventure seeking #not that thasmin arent also adrenaline junkie adventure seeking and 12clara dont want to help #just like a slightly shifted focus #i think thasmin want to feel....important. useful. helpful. more than 12clara. i think 12clara are just looking for a good time in each oth #rs company more #but idk #anyway do you think the doctor idolised yaz back as much as yaz idolised her? #DO you think yaz idolised her? #i have a really hard time getting int he doctors head abt companions. like how they feel abt them Really #but like. idolisation would be a really fun one to add into 13s head i think #what if she wants to impress yaz just as much as yaz wants to impress her oh my god #('tell me youre impressed')

help i just remembered everything Donna Noble has gone through and now I'm so sad

I've seen all of ST:TNG and all of ST:DS9 and I gotta be honest... I think Donna has suffered more than any other DW companion, and maybe even more than Miles O'Brien.

#donna noble #dr who #doctor who #10/14/donna #catherine tate #david tennant #tenth doctor #fourteenth doctor #ten/fourteen #I think Donna Noble suffered way more than #miles O'brien #o'brien must suffer #star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #has anyone done this yet #donna is the best companion ever and there is no way to convince me otherwise because there are too many facts that support this #dr who 60th anniversary #well Miles was in that prison for decades so maybe not? but she's also suffered for over 15 years I dunno

realizing im kind of a weirdo about laios and marcille

#possramble #ignore this im just babbling but #the thing is that like. i don't ship laios and marcille together. their relationship is so so important to me in that laios comphets himsel #and THINKS that he might be in love with her but he isn't and that's my insane obsession #platonic soulmates for real but they're so sweet together that i fully expect them to be shipped together #like i get it. that's almost the appeal for me. if dungeon meshi were any other series there'd be an epilogue where they get married #convention dictates that they're meant to be together as the male protagonist and his beloved female deuteragonist #but dungeon meshi DOESNT do that and i love it so fucking much they're the comphet besties ever for my strange little brain #like if i ever did an arranged marriage au it would absolutely be laios and marcille having a platonic political marriage and then just #the most insane mutual pining with marcille and falin while laios and marcille struggle their way into becoming best friends #the imagery of the king and his beautiful court mage being tender to each other and everyone thinking they're in love is like catnip to me #like yeah they'd be like that and have no idea people think they should be together and the subversion makes me so obsessed #the more people ship them romantically. the more i enjoy their platonic dynamic it's like some sort of weird comphet fetishism idk #people think they're in love and im outside the window like YES... YES!!! #but also the second i see stuff of them kissing on the mouth or fucking im like oh god no i went too deep in here i gotta get out #don't wanna see that. i'll go feral over the idea of laios and marcille being arm-in-arm like king and queen but they would not fuck. #i want marcille to be his default comphet beard and dance partner/plus one at official royal events but they're not kissing. #she's there on his arm because he's scared of the other noble women tryna get him and being a baby about it #and people see them muttering to each other and laughing and generally being very sweet and think that they're dating but they're not. #she's actually covered in hickies from falin underneath her dress and is gonna get dragon dicked right after the party is over #like she's in her bedroom and falin's helping her take her ridiculous dress off while listening to her complain about politics #and falin is the person she goes home to the person she falls asleep to and wakes up with #they're a triad of utter devotion to each other but only farcille's side of the triangle is romantic #it's almost like an open secret because they're not trying to hide it at all but people assume and are surprised to find out #like people are so right about her relationship with the toudens but with the siblings' roles switched #love of her life & irreplaceable life companion. does anyone get it #anyway. i don't know what's wrong with me #it bothers me that they're not the undisputed most popular het ship for marcille on ao3 #it's unnatural. marcille being paired with any other man should be a fringe case.

Fallout New Vegas mod where if you fuck Benny you immediately get a vilified reputation with every faction (including the strip and the tops) and your karma drops to devil.

#Benny tells you that was the best hey hey he’s ever #and then there’s a hired gun outside your door that’s like don’t worry I’m saving you the shame of people knowing you fucked Benny #he’s the only companion you can have now and it makes it worse that you bring him everywhere with you #fallout #fallout new vegas #benny gecko
