#Stay noble

[cynical-canidae]

Rose: "You're assuming 'he' as a pronoun." Doctor: "True. Yes, sorry. Good point! Are you he, or she, or they?" Meep: "My chosen pronoun is the definite article. I am always the Meep." Doctor: "Oh, I do that!"

Donna + Doctor: "Because the Doctor's male... and female..." Rose: "And neither. And more!"

donna noble consulting at unit is hilarious to me considering she’s got the doctor living in the tardis in her backyard and he’s actively trying to temporarily retire from the whole “saving humanity from the current existential alien threat” business.

the doctor asking about how her day went and donna just staring him down trying to decide whether or not she should let on that there’s some kind of invasion happening.

the doctor and donna having staring contests where they both know that he wants to go do something about the problem but donna is absolutely not going to let him.

rose comes home after school to find the doctor and donna sitting on the couch opposite each other forcefully drinking tea and engaging in the most intense version of small talk that has ever existed because they both know that if donna relents he will absolutely get involved in whatever unit-fuckery is going down on any given day.

but he’s committed to living life the slow way round (for the most part at least) and donna’s his best friend so she’s gonna help him goddammit, even if it means forcing him to sit on sylvia’s floral-patterned couch while he’s mentally bouncing off the walls with the desire to be useful.

poor rose, shaun, sylvia, and wilf are forced to bear witness to this battle of wills for the next ten to fifteen years before donna’s point — which is that we can manage without you sometimes, you idiot, you’re not the center of the universe and things don’t necessarily always fall apart just because you weren’t directly involved — finally sinks in and the doctor manages to find some semblance of chill.

(donna absolutely never admits to him how many of those crises were averted by other versions of him. she doesn’t want his ego to reinflate. they’ve been doing so well getting it to go down.)

#I love them #they are THE best friends #doctor on his therapy arc but also absolutey insufferable sometimes I REMEMBER THE POWER OF THREE. #tell me he wouldnt go crazy for a while. u cannot. #doctor who #the doctor #donna noble #donna spends all of her spare time during the doctor’s retirement making sure he stays retired #doctor who 60th anniversary #the fourteenth doctor #david tennant #catherine tate #russell t davies

I think the main difference between the 10Donna and 14Donna is that they're both fucking OBSESSED with each other and a little bit insane about it but 10Donna are like *holding hands* if anything happens to my girl (which is both of them btw) I'm blowing up everyone in this building <3 while 14Donna are like. Don't worry. We're gonna get a good grade in Normal Human Friendship. Neither of us will self-destruct this time if we lose the other one. In fact due to [living thousands of years without me][having a family of her own] I'm sure they don't even WANT anything beyond a casual and cool and suuuppper chillllll friendship anyway <- lying through their teeth. Have not realized that literally everyone can see them acting like pair-bonded stray cats that start crying out if they're separated for more than an hour

#14 always referring to 'her family' as not including him + donna saying you don't have to stay forever- #oh they don't realize they are just as fucking unstable about each other as always huh #tennant doctor #tenth doctor #fourteenth doctor #donna noble #doctor who #god i fucking love them!!!!

Regulus didn't become a death eater because Sirius left, Sirius left because that was the road Regulus was taking, Sirius left because of his family views.

#sirius black #regulus black #the black family #the most noble and ancient house of black #regulus had a walk shrine for Voldemort #you think Sirius who said how reg was the good so #you think regulus would have listened to Sirius? #regulus would have told him to stay because sirius was foolish and becoming a blood traitor

@thievinghippo told me to think about Astarion's parents for my last fic, and while I couldn't find a place in the narrative to fit in my musings, I now can't STOP thinking about his parents.

My guys, I think they adored him. I think he was the light of their eyes and he was charming and funny and genuinely happy, and I think he took being a magistrate really seriously and earnestly until it killed him. I think he wanted to make his parents proud and I think they were so, so proud of him right up to the moment he died, and I think that shattered them in a way they never recovered from.

And then I started thinking about how long elves live, and I wondered if maybe, many decades later, they might come back briefly through Baldur's Gate. I wondered if maybe Astarion's mom goes downstairs one night in some nice tavern and looks across the crowded room and sees her little boy sitting at the corner table with some stranger. Looking exactly like he did the day he died, of course, this living ghost, except his eyes are red now and his hair's bone white and when he laughs, it's cold and cruel and mocking. He was never cruel before.

I wondered if maybe she watches him for a while, that night and the next night and a few nights after that, and she sees the way there's no warmth behind the pretty smiles, no heart to any of the sweet seductions, nothing behind the eyes but a blank wall. I wondered if she thinks maybe about how he used to come running to her with a fistful of wildflowers when he was really little, or maybe when she used to comb out his curls for him every night at bedtime because his hair always got so tangled when he played outside, or maybe the first time she caught him as a young man kissing someone behind their home and he laughed and covered his face and blushed at the embarrassment. He never blushes now.

And then maybe, after a week or so, on their last night in the city, she casually tells her husband as they're getting ready for bed that she saw someone who looked like Astarion downstairs. Her husband gets really quiet, the way he always does when they talk about the son they lost, and she knows he's thinking about the way years leap by in an instant, and the way sometimes they slow and stop and never really start again. And maybe he says something a little dangerous, something a little agonizing, like, "You don't think..."

"No, no," she says gently, and maybe she meets his eyes in the vanity mirror, and maybe she reaches up over her shoulder and takes his hand. "He just looked like him, that's all."

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #you don't make a deal with cazador to stay alive #unless you like being alive #and in a world with a manifest variety of reachable afterlifes (afterlives?) #you must really like the life you currently have to stick around for it #bg3 spoilers #quark rambles #coming back to add he has a headstone in the same plot as a bunch of nobles #you don't get those if you aren't grieved by SOMEONE

some daan marcoh doodles around some dialogue bits I hit in game haha - gave me some thoughts on how one could think of daan if you only bumped into him at certain points? I don't remember the lines exactly but there were a few like this? 'Are you moving on? I guess we'll split ways here.' 'Someone has figure out how to treat these people...'

'You were very heroic stepping in there.' 'In the dark, your thoughts can really get to you out here...' 'Am... I... still a good man? Or...'

#fear and hunger #daan fear and hunger #marcoh fear and hunger #kickdraw #daanmarcoh #keep getting dialogue and I feel like if you only saw certain parts of Daan he seems like a very noble doctor figure #trying to research/avenge his dead almost(?) wife - staying behind to diagnose the villagers #meanwhile marcoh has like only killed one guy and is trying so hard to be a good person but is sinking in that Guilt #if daan stepped in on the marcoh held at gunpoint bit - I feel like it would fit Marcoh's lines about 'being heroic' or whatever #maybe he would be comparing himself to him - like 'im not a good man cause thats what a good man looks like in this situation' #and later when marcoh has a reality check he has to be like ... oh.... he's actually like this... huh #I feel like daan would hate it if anyone thought of him like this hakfjghadfg - but that makes it crunchier in my mind :) #daan starts looking much less like a tragic romantic protagonist when he is bickering with the party and getting dunked on #this weird image leaves the second you take both of them into the sewer and daan just starts complaining at him about the smell too often #sorry marcoh your fantasy protagonist man only exists in your dreams :) I think he'd still like him after getting a more realistic view tho

You cannot tell me rose- “she’s very good”, makes fun of the doctor with Sarah Jane, spontaneously hugs the other companions after knowing them for 3 seconds- Tyler would not be the absolute biggest fan of having Martha and Donna come along.

Aus where she doesn’t leave in s2, amazing! But her being catty or mean to Martha or vice Versa, not canon, pointless, overused.

I can imagine their original breakup was due to vasco having to go far away, but overall, it was sad but mutual.

Like how some people break up before going to college or if they are moving far away.

I love the fellows so much, and they remind me of my relationship with my bf and the struggle we went through as gay men.

.

#thank you! I'm glad you like them! #I'm sorry to hear you've gone through tough times I hope things are better for you both now #answered #anonymous #it was sad but mutual yeah #it was a tricky situation it's not like eloping and living together happily ever after was a very feasible option for them #they aren't dumb they knew Vasco was an asset and would be married off sooner or later if his parents had any say in it #nobles don't raise their sons and then allow them to stay bachelors forever

[americankimchi]

thinking about how obi wan's literal rite of passage into knighthood was less about him killing a sith and more about him resisting the lure of the dark side even in the face of total devastation and how that beautifully summarizes his entire life

#personal #his struggle isn't noble because it's easy #it's noble because it's so gut wrenchingly difficult to stay in the light #and he does it anyways #''IT TAKES STRENGTH TO RESIST THE DARK SIDE. ONLY THE WEAK EMBRACE IT.'' #EVEN IN THE KENOBI MINISERIES WHERE HE'S AT HIS LOWEST NOT ONCE DOES HE DIP INTO THE DARK SIDE............. #is he stuck in despair? unquestionably so. but his grief is borne of love #clenches fist. i just love him so much

[sxnbleachedfiles]

might sound like an hater but i find absolutely hilarious when in ff people portray the knights more loyal to merlin than to arthur when they stated multiple times they would sacrificed their life for arthur’s sake and not only out of duty

#listen they are a family okay !! #i might be proved wrong later but so far . #they meet him bc they trust merlins judgment but they decide to stay for him #sir ‘i dont like nobles’ gwaine after meeting arthur once: maybe he is worth dying for #percival didnt even known him and was ‘ur enemies are my enemies’ 😭 #merlin #arthur pendragon #knights of the round table #merlin bbc #they all would die for each others #they are his knights and he is their king .

[silvermarmoset]

i like to think that fourteen goes off to stay with other companions too—like donna needs a break so he toddles off and stays with jo grant on a remote island off the coast of scotland for a while, or he tumbles over to ian and barbara's and sleeps on the couch. like the apology tour of ten's all over again, but this time to stay, and be safe.

#fourteenth doctor #dw spoilers #the giggle #donna noble #idk i just think to heal he needs to stay with LOTS of people who love him! #also i think donna will go up the wall with him 24/7 ngl. they love each other but even besties need breaks

When you think about it the memory crypts by concept alone are like a graveyard, and the cabinet beasts are like some kind of tombstones. Lifeless tissues manipulated to contain the memories and experiences of beings far gone, in ways that we are unable to fathom. Well the last time I checked graveyards didn't have giant scissor birds protecting large plant like beings with the qualia of the deceased, stuck in cabinets. But there is still a comparison to make, like graveyards the memory crypts are a grim and dark mark on the world, a constant reminder that even the cycle is not eternal, since the ones once roamed the world found a way to depart from it, leaving stories and memories never to be experienced again, inserted into bio-engineered tissues purposed to this and this alone. Perhaps the cabinet beasts vividly dream of it, the same life over and over again, but I highly doubt it. They are like the physical bodies of those who ascended in a poetic way, since while ascending there isn't a body left behind, but their earthly possessions are. Maybe it was their way to store memories of specific individuals, knowing well after ascending that only their superstructures and the leftovers of their civilization will be left, a general look on their culture and accomplishments as a civilization but not enough detailed about their day to day lives. So they left physical traces that are even not part of their own, with the memories of faceless individuals, in hope to bring their memories to rest but not entirely forgotten, placed in grey boxes scattered around, like tombstones. Buried under the shadows casted by one of their greatest achievements, where they used to live before.

#rain world #text #I wish more people talked about this #I think it's a great implication of how the ancients valued life itself even when they found a way to surpass it #or how the videocult scholars like to call them the “noble benefactors” #I think storing the qualia of once living individuals is very important to them #since the entire purpose of the miros birds is to protect the memory crypts #It shows how their opinions about the concept of ascension were split in their own societies #And there is also the echos who didn't quite leave didn't quite stay

lily be the kind of vampire to awkwardly flirt her way into acquiring your blood type and barty be the kind of shithead to laugh and mock her for it while she actively has her fangs inside him

lily as a vampire is a wonderful concept because i have trouble imagining her out of the sunshine. i think she still looks as lively & red-blooded & sunkissed as the farmers daughter she was before getting turned and it’s very dangerous.

vampire!regulus is my favorite though… that man is allergic to three different blood types and will despondently sigh after sucking someone dry because now he has a rash. he got turned in 1446 after his monastery gave shelter to a dark & mysterious stranger (he was the ambiguously homosexual spare son sacked off to go illuminate manuscripts) and he specifically was bitten because he was the only monk bitchy enough to verbally be like “hey maybe we should not give shelter to this guy his vibes are fucking terrible”. only thing he ever enjoyed in his undead life was living to see high collars & male corsets come into fashion and he’s still sopping around moping about how short-lived it was like a century later

#a #t #you didn’t ask but i sure am thinking about it #vampire barty was 10000% a medieval knight. but like a really shitty noncommittal one who kept fucking off on ‘quests’ #<- the quest in question took an extra 8 months because he can’t stop charming noble daughters into letting him stay in their castle #they’re like tell me about your noble quest ser knight and he’s like *having a really good time in the provided robe* #*eating a pheasant* #so you said your father was hunting boar this afternoon? how stimulating. i myself am an excellent huntsman
