i keep feeling like. there's something parallel between rose and yaz's endings. maybe parallel isn't the right word -- but i keep wanting to draw comparisons, i think because they're two characters who really defined specific doctors and for whom it's basically confirmed the doctor returned their (romantic) feelings
(they're not the ONLY ones who fit this description, but i'm in no way qualified to talk about clara or even river, so bear with me)
it just feels. i don't know. rose never leaves on purpose. she is separated from the doctor, forcibly, every single time. the doctor sends her home, or she gets stuck in an alternate universe, or the doctor leaves her in the same alternate universe. every single time, she fights to get back to the doctor. the writers had to create a perfect happy ending for her (half-human version of her doctor who'll age along with her, in the alternate universe where her father is alive) because otherwise she wouldn't stop fighting to get back to the doctor, and the show can't have that. the show needs to move on. we need rose to fade into the past.
i haven't seen all of yaz's episodes, but her arc seems very similar from the limited amount i've seen. she keeps fighting to get back to the doctor. she's in love with the doctor, and the doctor basically confirms returning her feelings, albeit in a very stilted, hesitant, doctor-y way (compare "imagine that happening to someone you--" with "and if i was going to, believe me, it would be with you").
but when yasmin's doctor regenerates... yaz is just expected to. step away, go back to living her life, never see the doctor again. kinda like the abandonment that most companions have ever experienced -- getting dropped off once and then goodbye forever! -- except with more of the onus on her. the show has to move on from rose's era, so she gets dumped on a beach. the show has to move on from yasmin's era, so yaz has to accept that the doctor is going off to die alone. she has to make her peace with that information.
i don't know. i think yaz's ending is trying to go hand-in-hand with graham and ryan's purposeful exit -- it seems like the chibnall era tried really hard to have Not Terrible endings for companions. which is very admirable! but honestly? yasmin's ending feels crueler than most, including rose's. yaz was in love with the doctor. the doctor reciprocated those feelings. they should've gotten their equivalent of s2-era 10rose! she should've gotten a chance to stay with the doctor through their regeneration, the way other love interests have been able to (s/o to river and clara!).
i know this is because of the limitations of the show. bad ratings meant chibnall left after only one regeneration, and new incarnations of the show rarely bring in characters from other eras.
but i'm still very sad for yaz :( like yes, she wasn't just dumped on the curb without warning. but she was still expected to say goodbye to someone she loved, knowing that person was dying, and not say a word of protest. if the previous history of the show is any indication, she's never going to see the doctor again. she doesn't get a half-human version of the doctor to live out her days with, and she's not "allowed" to fight to get back to the doctor, either, due to the way the show's structured (but also the way the doctor talked about them saying goodbye). she has to live the rest of her life knowing that the doctor is out there, perfectly capable of visiting, and the only reason they won't visit is because yaz is from a specific time of their life that they've moved on from.
i know she has the companion support group. and i know she'll move on! she's yaz. she's strong and self-actualized. she'll be okay, eventually. but she has to be okay, you know? she has to learn to live without the doctor. rose never had to do that.
it just makes me sad :(

i would like to see either nikolai or sigma's sentences please :3 /nf
THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE FUELING MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS!!!
under the cut bc length. [it got REALLY long]
anyways, nikolai and sigmas prison sentences as they would be in michigan.
note: i’m not using the wiki for this. i doubt it covers everything, so im going back through the manga and analyzing everything from there. aside from finding out manga appearances, everything else is research and pre-memorized info.
note 2: i may have made a few mistakes with the sentencing but it should be accurate enough give or take 10 years.
note 3: there’s no minimum sentence since majority of research i’m doing leads to me picking the minimum years since it usually states “punishable by life imprisonment or any number of years” which is unspecific and sucks so i just dropped the category

uh warning: if you have a fear of storm and lightning, this chapter may not be for you. Also there is a bit of body horror (no heavy gore description, just bits) in the dream part at the end (part is in italic), you can thank the bad influence of @diofasolia for that. Someone gets hurt.
Prologue Previous
Come Down That Tree! (an aftermare story)
Chapter 13:күк төшә
Water pouring down from the sky.
It was nothing like Waterfall however. The steady but gentle strength of the constant rain, the powerful roar of the waterfalls ones should stay cautious of and the slippery rocks that he could navigate without tripping, eyes closed.
It was nothing like the tempests in Snowdin either. The almighty winds that drove everyone home and made the trees sing, carrier of coldness and snowflakes and making everything a beautiful pure white.
It was something else entirely.
The Twins were fast asleep, bundled under the only blanket they owned. They went to sleep after he assured them he would be ok.
Would he thought ?
The sky was screaming. The ground was grumbling. Water was hitting him from all sides without giving him any rest. Dirt was trying to trap him. He could see the forest at the east dancing to a desperate tune; he ignored the steps, they creaked and plowed under unknown deities.
Geno was standing up there on the hill, paralyzed by the war happening all around him.
He shook with each thunder and squeezed his eyes shut with each unexpected noise.
And those two were sleeping…
Unbeknownst to them, the end of the world was tonight.
Noises were crackling around him. Silence’s disappearance rattled his sliver of a soul.
Under the tree, the sky’s furious tears were still reaching. The air smelled heavy and sour.
An horrifying shriek fell on earth not so far from here and orange and yellow made an apparition in the corner of his sight.
Was- Was that tree down the hill just suddenly burning?
Geno’s shorts were even more wet from the water-saturated ground.
When did he sit down?
Those two were sleeping and did not even twitch with each bang.
It had to be normal?
HOW COULD THIS BE NORMAL?
Did surfacers just accept the crazy concept of mother nature having a weird feud with tall trees once in a while???
Absolutely crazy.
The monster racked his hands and did his best to calm down his shudders. Thinking rationally was what got him out of many weird situations so he was going to do that.
Rain was annoying but it could only get stuff wet. They were on a hill, there was no danger of flood and potential drowning.
Wind was harsh and unforgiving. It could make things fall and bring objects at a dangerous speed.
Tall bones erupted from the earth, cutting the way to any large objects who dared coming this way.
A glance up to the strange apple tree assured him this one was not going to budge regardless of the chaos.
Now.
The electricity flying down the dark clouds to strike anything it fancied frying.
The lightning, it started from high above in the clouds and seemed to try to get to the ground. The easier path was surely through tall elements… Or conductive elements…
He glanced at his arms. Bones were not a very good conductor but…
Branches loomed over him.
They were on a hill.
Under a tree.
A tired sigh escaped him.
It was always just a possibility but…
Down the hill, an oak remained, split into two equal fuming parts.
Bones were dismissed and wind started to slap him anew. Not missing a bit, he got up and wobbled away from the apple tree’s protection. Rain seeped inside his skull, making his insides cold and heavy.
He trudged until he was far enough away and summoned bones once again. However this time it was not a defense but more of a glaring offense toward the sky.
It went high.
High above the tree.
High above anything.
Geno grunted from the sudden effort, making bones giant were not his speciality.
He watched his work with a careful eye. It should drive away any luminous and powerful threats from the easy that was a lone tree up a hill.
His hand found its way to the rough surface as he stroked it, pensive.
A lightning struck it.
Geno screamed.
Liquid fire spread through his entire body in a matter of seconds, lighting up pain sensors in every part of his body. Pops and cracks filled his non-existent ears. The world turned white and grass welcomed his sizzling body for an unplanned nap.
Firecrackers. They fizzle. They bloom between his joints. The sun is glaring into his socket but he does not look away. It makes an itchy nest between his ribs, unbothered by his small soul whimpering for space. The lake lap at his fingers gently but burning his toes. Soft touch cradles his thoughts that make bubbling meaningful sounds.
It is hard to be whole.
An arm lays there, away from his reach.
Away from his sight who is running, running away from an owl. The bird picks it up, admiring itself in a mirror before exploding in a myriad of bloodish little parts who fly towards him fast.
A corridor. He’s standing, he’s sitting, he’s running.
The exit is in front and behind him.
He reaches towards it and it swallows him whole.
Everything is soft and green, tickling his nose.
The pain is gone. His arm is translucent and he can see fish swimming inside. He reaches and puts his fingers in the cold water, reaping apart the limb with joy.
A purple mouse screams at him to stop but he doesn’t. He’s giddy and watches the liquid drip on the mirror floor.
In it, he’s the mouse and screams at someone who is holding their head so hard it seems it’s going to explode.
Purple eyes stare and, in a hurry, stretch and strangle him.
He’s happy.
Something tingles and his feet are wet, wet, wet, wet like the moon. His brother is there but not.
Dreams fly down and make him tumble. Right onto a safe.
The door opens, the door closes. Inside is out, out is inside.
An old yellowish paper flies around, a soft melody escapes. He turns around huffing and puffing, trying to sleep in the small space.
But to no avail.
Time is a slug and reality a fly.
Both are on a bench talking about their family.
The sky is a mixture of red, purple and yellow with a dash of overwhelming white.
It hurts.
End of chapter 13. Go to chapter 14?

some scene/dialogue ideas for the hypothetical NSO-esque Louis dating sim in which you play as a mistress of him (sorry no male MC). I think the point of it would be to try to ASSERT YOUR INFLUENCE on him until you basically run the country yourself, which he makes extremely difficult for you to do. idk why I'm thinking of it so much 😭
---------
Louis: Do you think this looks good on me?
He'll probably be asking this a lot when he tries something on. You basically get to dress him since he'll usually listen to your opinions as you are very important to him.
Upon saying it looks awful but he secretly disagrees:
Louis: Well...just a little, I suppose.
Upon saying it looks awful and he agrees:
Louis: Who thought of this?
Upon saying it looks good:
Louis: Not much of an observation, love, you know everything looks good on me.
---------
Louis: I have a question. Do you love me? Really really really love me?
He'll ask this every night, just in a different form. Usually you would have three choices, all of which say the same thing: "Yes, I love you." I doubt it's because he's insecure, he just wants to hear you say it.
After a bad day in which you didn't really make him happy, though, he'll say:
Louis: I thought you loved me. You told me yesterday. Do you really really really love me?
He usually stares at you with a smile, sitting pleasantly on his bed, but at this point the music stops briefly and he sort of glowers at you. You have three choices again, and only one is different:
Player: No, you know why I stayed with you at all.
Louis will look down and smile, and the music will start up again.
Louis: Ahaha....you are not wrong.
If you say you love him, he looks vaguely suspicious but accepts it anyway.
---------
To increase the Trust & Love bar (probably the least important for your status, but necessary nonetheless if you want him to keep you around) you would have to give him a gift. I think you should be able to give him a little carp because it would be funny and he likes them.
Louis: You got me another fish? See, this is why I love you. You give me stuff.
Louis: She is so beautiful...can you name her for me?
Whatever the name is that you choose, he'll find it very endearing. Unless you attempt to call it Louis, in which case he'll feign offense but actually be laughing a little.
---------
You can make it your goal for him to just have awful days constantly so that his Happiness & Certainty will go down. Eventually he will start getting really personal at night instead of having sex, and he'll tell you things you may not have known about him. This makes him easier to manipulate/blackmail later on.
Louis: I will never understand Philippe. A boy kissed me once.
Louis: *his eyes now widening* I wanted to kill myself.
Louis: He said he was going to kill me if I told anyone--
Things like that.

ok paris trip! cheeky summary :-) (limited by image count lol)
we went up to the artists streets bc i wanted to see the big church and i was fully charmed by the buildings, different areas have very different charms to them. i took a lot of photos of fragments of buildings like these two. i always take pictures like this, the charm of a city comes through in the life reflected in ordinary houses
also big church. pretty. i dont follow Christianity but they sort of went off with the architecture
TWO pyramid selfies for your viewing pleasure. i didnt know there was an upside down one as well! i also did a really bad job at aligning my hand to the pyramids ndjshdjddn
louvre. i love a statue. miss venus was so incredible in person.
this was my second favourite statue(tte?) in the louvre. after miss venus. its from mexico 300-400AD and its a little fella with a WARRIOR INSIDE.
and on the final day we went to the eiffel tower. the scale of it is always insane to me, they have this other teeny eiffel tower built near it which looks big when youre next to it. then the further away you get the scale of the real eiffel tower becomes evident (its in the second photo, on the right behind the trees)
tumblr has limited me to 10 photos :( so not pictured: me getting immediately addicted to petit déjeuner with cafe créme, the teeny apartment out of the city centre we were staying, with a bistro where a guy gave me a free shot of limoncello because it was my birthday:)) the fancy dinner we went to, the selfies i took with liberty leading the people (!!!!), the little video i took blowing a kiss to spain, photos of other tourist-y and less tourist-y areas, the 100 other louvre photos i took 😂
