can this be a real thing, can it?

buck, eddie and chris go to a baseball game. it doesn't go as planned... it goes so much better. | 695 words.

Baseball is Eddie's favorite sport. He used to play back in highschool, it was one of the things Eddie truly enjoyed where he didn't care about his parents expectations or anything else.

He's never been to a big game, though. Of course he dad wouldn't waste money on that and then Eddie was in the army, and then he was coming home with his bullet wounds now etched into his body, Shannon left— a lot of things happened. Getting tickets for a baseball game never even crossed his mind.

But one day Buck comes into the Diaz house, screaming and cheering like Christmas morning came early. Buck bought tickets for a baseball game, just because knows Eddie likes it and— well, how is Eddie supposed to be normal about that? How is Eddie supposed to just not fall even more in love with the adorable, charming idiot?

And then they're at the game, Buck has this happy little smile on his face and his stupid backwards baseball cap. And he's leaning down to a side, so he can explain to Chris every little detail about the game and the players.

It's so— Eddie can't be normal about it, okay? It's too domestic and too close to what he wants foe him to be normal about it.

"Wow." Chris says, eyes following the ball. Eddie likes that his son gets to have this experience, that they're at a baseball game together.

Like a family. His brain unhelpfully supplies.

"Did you know there's a baseball player who only had one arm?" Buck says and Chris immediately starts asking questions. Eddie already knows all of this but he doesn't mind hearing the story of Jim Abbot again. He'd hear it a thousand times, he'd hear it for the rest of his life if it meant hearing Buck's voice.

Eddie just basks in the moment, happy to seat back and watch the game as two of his favorite people talk about anything and everything.

They're like a family. It's so domestic and perfect that he aches with how much he wants this to be real.

Eddie is a little distracted by how good Buck looks and how good he is with Chris. If he's being honest, he's barely watching the game— which he'll probably regret later. And he is brought by reality when the ball nearly hits him in the face, Buck's hand coming out of nowhere and catching it just before it hits Eddie.

The crowd around him goes wild and Chris is yelling the loudest, while Buck blinks and slowly a smile breaks, showing his dimples.

"Oh, God."

Buck lifts Chris up, giving him the ball and it's— Eddie looks around and realizes everyone think they're a family. They think—

"Dad, look!"

Everyone thinks they're a family and now they're faces are on the kiss cam. Everyone cheering for Buck and Eddie to kiss, because they think they're in love.

They think they're a couple.

Eddie hearts beat rapidly in his chest and he turns to look at Buck next to him.

The blonde has blushes cheeks and his lips are parted, wide blue eyes looking at Eddie with fear and hope— or is that wishful thinking?

Maybe it's the adrenaline suddenly rushing through his veins, maybe it's the thousands of strangers cheering him on, maybe it's the love and hope that he's sure he sees in Buck's eyes. Maybe it's a combination of all those things, but Eddie leans in and softly kiss the corner of Buck's lips.

It barely counts as a kiss, it's chaste and short. But it's enough.

"Later." He whispers low enough just for Buck to hear him.

Later they'll talk, once they're alone and Christopher isn't in the middle. Once they're in the privacy of their home and the warmth glow of the kitchen shines a light over them. Later Eddie will lean in and kiss Buck for real, press him against the kitchen counter and murmur all of his feelings into Buck's lips.

Later, they'll get their moment.

"Yeah, later." Buck answers back and then they're back to focusing on the game, matching soft and hopeful smiles adorning their faces. They're on the same page.

Castlevania Nocture Thoughts

Watching Castlevania Nocture and I am plagued with Thoughts on so many things. I'm gonna ramble about things that Aren't That Deep so be warned.

First I have thoughts on them using Erzebeth Bathory as Main Bad Villain. Like not to sound as a Blood Countess Apologist but all we know about Bathory was speculated slander with no real evidence. I'll add some Wikipedia snipets to illustrate what I mean.

Considering that Castlevania's Dracula gets afforded a humane complexity that wasn't provided by either Bram Stoker's Count Dracula or his historial counterpart Vlad The Impaler, it's strange a villified figure such as the Blood Countess wasn't given the same morally-nuanced treatment.

To add, a deconstruction of the Blood Countess would have provided the perfect opportunity to establish further parallels with Maria Antonia, Olympe de Gouges, and the already referenced Joan of Arc. It would have added more perspective to the Abbot's "revolution is bad!" speech, which at the moment is depicted as fear-mongering nonsence. Even though it did get out of hand.

I suposse it was a creative decision. They wanted to make "Countess Dracula" completely different from Dracula - a bit like he's a poor little meow meow while she's evil incarnate. So they made her a sadist with delusions of grandeur and practically the face of European War Crimes. Which would be ok, if it weren't because I have Thoughts™ on that too!

Why not consider the Marquis de Sade, who lived during the French Revolution, and was the literal creator of sadism? Or if they want to draw parallels with Joan of Arc, why not Gilles de Rais? Or! If we're talking about European Colonization, Christopher Columbus is right there!! I won't make a list but it seems there are so many more suitable candidates than Bathory to play this role.

I must admit my reservations, if taken into consideration, would play a different story than the one we have now. So they're not really constructive- but at least it's out of my system now.

Anyway I really enjoyed the show, and I can't wait to see what the second season has in store!

Forgotten Lives Omnibus Lore Dump

Just a bunch of lore related observations from FL1 and FL2

Christopher Barry

The Doctor moves an aberrant era of human history into the Cretaceous era, resulting in at least one ancient human civilisation (Aurelia) existing in that era.

He's married to a woman named Zodin, she is most likely Gallifreyan

He has an enemy known as the Abbot, who is also presumably a Gallifreyan (Described as 'Like the Doctor') who either expended all rejuvenations or was killed with no prospect of rejuvenation at the gallows only to return as a spirit and try to steal the Barry incarnation's body, he is defeated him at the cost of the Doctor’s own life. Causing a renewal.

He is most likely not the first incarnation of the FL cycle, as a newly renewed Banks Stewart expresses familiarity with the difficulties of retaining relationships 'across such a change'

Robert Banks Stewart

He established his bookshop shortly after renewal, and is earthbound there though he seems to also travel in the TARDIS whilst based there. He seems to have done so shortly after the start of the build-up to World War II, definitively pre-Dunkirk.

He has an acquaintance known as ‘The Magus’ who claims to serve ‘The Unity’, The Magus is definitely a Time Lord.

He’s on Earth for at least five years (1938-1943)

There’s a species that lives within the Earth called the Vril. They predate humanity and the Earth Reptiles.

We have yet to see his Rejuvenation as of FL2.

Christopher Baker

This Doctor has two kids, Cedric and Jilly. They seem to think the Doctor is slightly over 35 years old. They would be Thirty Five in 1975 so they were born in 1940.

The First Venus mission was returning to Earth in 1975, the third was underway by 1980.

The Doctor is well known for defeating the moon-men invasion as of 1975, building the Bot-u-tron robot and melting all the snow in Britain on Christmas 1974. The Doctor also helped repel the Magma Men in 1978, fought the Mighty Mole and “Hitler’s Robot”.

The Venusians were wiped out in a nuclear war, they had some form of Christianity

The British Government was performing time travelling Paleo-archaeology as of 1980. Piltdown Man is real… apparently.

By the time of his rejuvenation, Jilly now went by ‘Jill’ and was a teenager (adult by some standards). Cedric and Jilly seem to age 1:1 with their school friends on Earth. The year is between 1953 and 1955.

He picked up an infection of some kind from the Violet Moon of Bellerophon. Jill and Cedric got over it but the Doctor did not, and it eventually resulted in his renewal.

The Doctor at some point lived through World War I due to being stuck on Earth for 20 years, it is loosely implied to have been this incarnation due to the statement about him becoming human and falling in love with Joan Redfern in FL1, and prior to Cedric and Jilly’s births.

After letting Jill and Cedric leave in ~1955, he lay back in a chair and renewed into his next incarnation.

Phillip Hinchcliffe

He picked up his first companion, Rue, very shortly after renewal, during his first adventure.

He’s working for the Order of the Spheres and seemingly has been doing so since before his most recent renewal. He came to Idrotha looking for one of them. He is being led to their bodies.

The Demons of Dog Street is set in 1956 at first. This is presumably intended to be his ‘contemporary’ time.

The Doctor tried to help a young lady called Nelly Rosethorne who absorbed an artefact from a dead member of the Order of the Spheres, only for Nelly to become ‘The Witch of the White House’ with whom he would eventually later scuffle with, resulting in his rejuvenation.

He’s the incarnation who married Patience according to Cold Fusion.

We have yet to actually see the event of his renewal, but we know he ‘met a premature end’ suggesting he's the shortest lived of the Morbii.

Douglas Camfield

His early life was coloured by Space War II between two major powers that the Time Lords seemed to be loosely involved in. Space War II was very technically a Time War due to one of the opponents use of Time Travel tech.

This Doctor is willing to make people disappear, he does so to a cabal of war criminals from Space War II.

He says that the destruction of Dattany City is sixteen years in the relative past and claims its ‘Not much different for him’.

The Vidocs are a time sensitive species with wings, researching time travel. The Time Lords seem threatened by them and are trying to prevent them from engineering a star for time travel. They are in communication with a time active species called the Mey.

The Camfield Doctor is actively working for a sect of the Time Lord government to, among other things, prevent races from having both the intent and means to alter history.

The Time Lords have leverage over his Gallifreyan Family, who are later killed in Cold Fusion.

Dattany is 147 by Trail of a Time Lord, she joined the Doctor when she was a lot younger. She’d met Patience and the Doctor’s children. The Doctor’s eldest son could regenerate.

The Doctor gets out of trial from the Time Lords for hunting down the cabal by proving Space War II was a Time War. But he is convicted of consorted with aliens due to bringing Dattany to the Homeworld. He is executed as a result of this.

Graeme Harper

This Doctor is only referred to by they/them. They have a psychic beard and have at some point masqueraded as Martin Jurgens, an Earth Adjudicator whom the Roger Delgado Master would steal the credentials of.

The Captain is a conventional superhero, they claim that ‘One hundred and twenty years’ doesn’t look as good on them as it does on the Doctor, implying this incarnation is also at least one hundred and twenty by the events of Valhalla Must Fall! Which is considered ‘early days’ in the conflict.

The Doctor and the Captain were in battle with a species called the Outsiders, who were immortal and tried to take over the Universe in order to feel something. By the time the Doctor met with a dying Nimh, they had convinced the Outsiders to never become immortal in the first place.

This Doctor promised Death a week of servitude, but never said when and never returned to play that out. Possible link to Master (Where he makes a new deal with Death to make the Master Death’s Champion)

The Usher runs the Fountain Theatre, it is ‘on the same street’ as the Celestial Toyroom run by the Toymaker, the Usher uses it to link the Doctor to an early event from shortly after Event One.

The Doctor tells a story that, in the ancient past, under the influence of ‘A madman’ the people of Gallifrey split into two civilisations. Each comparing themselves to the other. The Doctor and another from the other civilisation, Hazel, devised a plan to switch places and disguise themselves, forgetting their true natures for a while. Upon remembering the two were able to use their positions to broker peace between the two sides. The two now have tattoos that prevent them from infiltrating or being unknowingly mind altered again.

He reacted in shock and worry when told 'The Other' was here

We do not see this Doctor’s renewal as of FL2.

Robert Holmes

Coming to a deal with the powers that be this incarnation was given the ability to travel the Universe in exchange for fulfilling his duty to the homeworld, though that deal has grown stricter over time and he has grown to resent the situation.

Early in his life he suffered an injury as a result of a failed mission for the Time Lords, that results in him walking with a cane.

He’s indirectly responsible for the creation of the Krotons, Sontarans, Autons, Drashig and Kroll.

The TARDIS is described as ‘bluer and boxier’ than it was under the Hinchcliffe Doctor.

The Doctor is told to ‘swing by in a hundred years’ though we never know if he does or not or in what incarnation if he does.

He has had fifty different handlers by the time of his rejuvenation.

He was shot and killed by an immortal during a confrontation. A Gallifreyan, Mountweazel, sacrificed themselves to trigger his renewal.

George Gallaccio

He experienced amnesia after his previous traumatic rejuvenation for most of his first story.

In 1970 there was a meteor storm that supposedly changed the course of human development. This was actually an arrival of the Nestene Consciousness and this incarnation gets embroiled in a brief adventure where he faces the Nestenes.

This incarnation was ejected from the TARDIS when it was taken over by an entity called the Nomad, resulting in a fatal injury that would lead to his inevitable renewal.

The TARDIS took a police box form in both his first and final adventures.

He believes he fused with the Nomad prior to his rejuvenation but that was in fact untrue.

Bonus – Retrogenesis

Timeline of the Kelda

Pre-Rome

The Kelda Stone arrives on Earth in what would become the village of Kellerston

1800s

The Squire tries to break up the Kelda Stone, but is stopped by the First Morbius Doctor, who partially awakens the Kelda in the stone.

1940s

The stone is taken from the village to the British Museum, the Second Morbius Doctor attempts to stop the Magus from awakening the Kelda. The Doctor learns the Kelda are a species, rather than a single being, as the Magus has had dealings with other Kelda whilst in service to the Unity.

The future

The Third Morbius Doctor first meets a living Kelda on a planet. By this point he knows the Kelda as a benevolent confederation who seed knowledge across the Universe to those that are ready for the privilege and hibernate on planets where they are not until they are ready. The Kelda are a form beyond the machine body which is implied by this Doctor to be the logical successor to the biological form as a species develops. The Doctor meets a Kelda named Aldorac.

The Distant Past

A Kelda has landed on a planet called Arkos/Orkos. This planet is very primitive, the Fourth Morbius Doctor is very confused by this. The Kelda reveals that this is their origin planet and it journeyed there from the far future, as a force from the future is aiming to change the Kelda timeline.

The Future again

The Kelda meet with their allotemporal counterparts, overseen by the Fifth Morbius Doctor. These counterparts are revealed to be the force from the future trying to interfere with their own history. Aldorac is part of the Kelda delegation. The peace deal is not completed, but the Kelda reveal they expected this and intended to negotiate with the Doctor, not their counterparts.

The Time Lords sign a deal to protect the Kelda Timeline.

The Distant Past Again

The Sixth Morbius Doctor Doctor abducts a child called Alylec, whom the Kelda’s opponents from the future are trying to kill.

The two factions of then planet, the Calendal and Zenithal are in an uneasy detente, both developing weapons of mass destruction capable of mutually assured destruction.

The Seventh Morbius Doctor causes a nuclear war that would lead to ‘the great separation’ that eventually leads to the creation of the Kelda as a species.

Alylec teaches the Zenithal survivors a peaceful way.

The Eighth Morbius Doctor surveys the planet, implying that the machinelike Calendal successors ‘Dals’ and humanoid Zenithal successors ‘Thals’ will eventually recombine to form the Kelda, but only if they’re kept apart and keep to their philosophies until they are ready.

The Eighth Morbius Doctor isomorphically locks the history of the Kelda, so no one but himself can ever interfere again, noting that “I’m hardly going to blunder in and undo all that hard work, now am I?”

The First Doctor arrives on Arkos, now ‘Skaro’ and accidentally causes the Dal survivors ‘Daleks’ to prematurely meet the ‘Thals’ and teaches the Thals a non-pacifist way of fighting back. This averts the Kelda timeline and instead creates the first Dalek Timeline.

Get to know you better game! answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Thank you for thinking of me @boshemians :)))

Alright here I go,

The last song I listened to:

According to Spotify it was

(Technically it was a podcast but 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Currently Watching: Traitors US season 2 (obsessed), I just finished watching all of Abbot Elementary yesterday (v good), I also started rewatching Traitors AUS because we’re addicted to traitors and we already rewatched US season 1 (I can’t wait for UK season 2 to be released here). I wanna include movies since I am a movie PERSON and the last one I watched was Lisa Frankenstein which I really enjoyed I thought it was very cute. I also am probably gonna see Madame Web today (for the laugh)

Currently Obsessed With: The Beatles obviously are number 1 now. Traitors as I just said. Low key CORPSE is always on my mind, where is he, will he release a new song any time soon, he’s truly been gone gone since Oct. what else 🤔… the house of R podcast I’m a little obsessed with. I’m trying to get back in to reading books (I’m reading 3 right now) but fanfiction keeps distracting me. My general life long obsession is with movies, It’s awards season, I love awards season I watch every one. and I guess the Oscar winners every year. My prediction is Oppenheimer sweep, Paul Giamatti wins best actor, Da’vine supporting, RDJ supporting, I’m hoping Lily for actress but if not her it’s Emma, they give Greta writing cause they feel bad cos the Barbie thing, Christopher Nolan wins for directing. Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if Oppenheimer wins everything but we suddenly have a random best picture cause they’re tired of it. Holdovers would be my thought cause everyone loves it, it would be everyone’s number 2 lol. Anyway! When I’m not thinking about the Beatles that’s what I’m thinking about. I’m working on a Beatles project and I’m working on a Best Picture Art Project as well

Tagging 9 people?! That’s so much idk: @smoke- , @got-ticket-to-ride , @eloeloanna , @heybulldogs , @johnlennonyaoi , @m1ssunderstanding , and whoever else idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

#personal #the oscars #Beatles #title fight

Behind door number three...

... it's a collection of some of my favourite M. R. James works and adaptations! I assume this is a peculiarly British tradition, but frankly, the festive season isn't the festive season without a ghost story for Christmas and M. R. James, in my opinion, is a master of them.

Number 13 (full text. THE haunted hotel room story) [pub 1904]

"Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad" (full text) [pub 1904]

A Warning to the Curious (full text) [pub 1925]

The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral (BBC adaptation as The Stalls of Barchester, read by Christopher Lee, youtube) [pub 1911]

The Rose Garden (BBC adaptation, read by Robert Powell, youtube) [pub 1911]

The Tractate Middoth (BBC adaptation, drama, dailymotion) [pub 1904]

Casting the Runes (read by Michael Hordern, youtube) [pub 1911]

The Treasure of Abbot Thomas (BBC adaptation, drama, youtube) [pub 1904]

Fun fact, particularly for HBOWar fandom - "Selected Ghost Stories by M. R. James" was one of the Armed Services Editions books, published in 1944. It contained all of the above stories, except The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral, plus others. One day I will get my hands on a copy and my life will have a massive bucket list goal crossed off it.

There are some incredible adaptations on Audible and other places of further M. R. James works as well as the above, but I wanted to keep this post linking to stuff available without having to subscribe or buy things. And on that note, if the above whetted your appetite at all - you can read so many more of his works on Project Gutenberg.

I'll be honest, I'm sick of these takes on Tom's career. The career anxiety some anons gave over his career, I hope you guys apply that level on intensity in your own lives. Tom has worked ever since he was a child to a young adult nonstop. He has made choices with his career because it was the old module for actors at the time to make, sign on to films that haven't been made.

I think the problem with anon is y ou are seeing the career rises of other white make actors and are feeling threatened on his behalf which is crazy becaue Tom is so successful he went a year on working.

To stay TDATT is his last best performance. It is an opinion that you are well working your right to have, I'm sorry, but I disagree. TCR is a great performance, you dint get nominated for a CC if it's bad. I'm sorry. Maybe you dislike Marvel, or you agree with Film Twitter about superhero films, but Tom wanted to play spiderman. Don't get angry at his team that went with his choice.

Hollywood is about great films , but also about relationships, Sydney Sweeney literally spoke in an interview that Madame Web was a good career option because it allowed her to form a business relationship with Sony. The ppl with power gatekeep and the fact Tom has a good relationship with Amy Pascal, whether you like her or not, is beneficial to getting what he wants made. Also Zs to, cause getting 10 million for a leading role in film as a mixed woman, isn't easy.

Anon also forgets how Tom was offered a role in Oppenheimer but had to decline because he was filming TCR. Tom was not the only person who made that show, but he's the only top actor on that show who took a break afterwards. Are Amanda, Sasha Lanes, or Christopher Abbots careers in jeopardy because of TCR reviews? No, they are unto the next job.

Have you guys considered that maybe he wants to prioritise his personal life and development as a man who has nothing to do with his current acting career?? There's a reason a Tom mention was used in Timothee's puff piece for variety. He gets paid a lot for the little he does.

Tom also did a Prada campaign once and hasn't since because he just doesn't want to do it. I'm not gonna feel bad for a white millionaire who is in a better position than most poc actors who work have to work harder but barely get the recognition.

Anon, if you feel insecure as a fan because Timmy or Jacob E are having the careers acclaimed by journalists on that x app who don't even make enough to their rent, perhaps you need to stan someone else.

He is aware of the power of his brand, and even more aware actors and their team keep an eye on his every move. You can't praise a white actor with mentioning him lol.

I'm excited for the things that haven't Neen announced. Most male actors get their best roles in their late 20s to early 30s. He's fine...

I feel like you misinterpreted a lot of the things the anon said, including the TDATT part.
