Eagle No. 466, dated 23 February 1991. Charley's War cover. Don't know who drew the main image but the side panels are by Joe Colquhoun. I think this was Charley's one and only Eagle cover. Treasury of British Comics | The Dan Dare Corporation.

Wanted to show off this completely amazing chaplain dreadnought that my girlfriend made for me! Definitely check her out on Twitter.

This is for my upcoming Star Phantoms Badab War army.

What if you randomly bumped into Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman while visiting the old Lars homestead in Tunisia?

Neverland is so goddamn fucked up. I haven't finished it yet but. basically you're telling me that people who get "dispersed" (murdered by a demat gun, a weapon that erases your entire existence from the timelines) actually get flung to an alternate universe where the laws of time and chronology simply do not exist, and so they all are trapped in a state of never-ending flux between life and death and corporeality itself amidst the chaos of it all?? totally normal lore information to digest this evening.
oh dear god, something terrible just clicked in my brain, I'm just putting this new information into context with Engines Of War. Did... Did ALL of those people that got blasted by the Temporal Weapons Dalek get sent to the anti-time universe??? and oh fuck, chronologically, The War Doctor definitely would have known this information, wouldn't he?? shit. shitting fuck. that's so fucked up???

A history of how the exterior of the Gallifreyan citadel has been visualized from 1996 to 2016.
I suspect there are earlier visualizations which influenced the Leekley Bible, which then in-turn influenced New Who, but I'm not sure how to find those pre-1996 visualizations. Y'all have any info on that?

[ID: The "zero days since our last nonsense" meme, with the characters now edited to be wearing MS-Paint scribbled Time Lord headdresses from Doctor Who, and the sign now reading, "Zero days since our last crime against life". End ID.]
@walks-the-ages post this to the discord I'm lazy

In the first five pages/first hundred fics on Ao3 for Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor Adventures - Various Authors, there are a grand total of 58 works that are verifiably set in that continuity/involve characters from that continuity. Everything else appears to be mistagged.
The (Highly Unscientific) Breakdown of tagged and mistagged fic:
EDAs: 58
nu!Who/EightRose*: 19 (including fics also involving BF characters)
Big Finish: 16 (including fics also involving nu!who characters)
OC/ x reader fic: 7
movie only (ie, involving Grace and/or Chang Lee and/or Roberts!Master): 3
crossovers with non-DW media: 3
other/miscellaneous: 4
*grouping these together maybe wasn't the best way to do it but I feel like they tend to have most in common with each other
And like listen: I'm the absolute opposite of a stickler for keeping timelines separate and forcing continuity on Dr Who, but The Eighth Doctor Adventures book series is a specific thing, people; it does not just mean "any story tangentially involving Eight or the Time War". I commented on one person's fic and they were polite and happy to change the tags, and they said they'd assumed the tag just meant "Eighth Doctor era" so maybe that's where some of the confusion is coming from. I will be forever annoyed that BF chose violence and named the Lucie line the New Eighth Doctor Adventures, because why the fuck make things that much harder on everyone?!
Please, there are other tags. Doctor Who & Related Fandoms is usually your best bet when you aren't sure what to do with your big complicated multi-doc crossovers or stuff involving different timelines; Doctor Who (Big Finish Audio), and Doctor Who (TV Movie 1996) are likely the tags you're looking for when you have a fic with Eight that isn't set in the novel series. The Panini/DWM, IDW, and Titan comics lines do not have their own individual tags, and best belong under the general Doctor Who (Comics) and Doctor Who & Related Fandoms tags.

The desert, being an unwanted place, might well be the last stand of life against unlife.  For in the rich and moist and wanted areas of the world, life pyramids against itself and in its confusion has finally allied itself with the enemy non-life.  And what the scorching, searing, freezing, poisoning weapons of non-life have failed to do may be accomplished to the end of its destruction and extinction by the tactics of survival gone sour.  If the most versatile of living forms, the human, now fights for survival as it always has, it can eliminate not only itself but all other life.
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley (1960) | Part Three.  Mutually assured destruction and the nuclear Sword of Damocles, the absurdity of an all-consuming weapon as the safeguard of peace.  More dangerous than anything, to me, is how generations past Steinbeck are now born under and so acclimated to this demon that they forget its presence.

My partner @koprulusectorr​ (who is more active on twitter) customized this Jawa for me! It’s to represent my character in our upcoming Star Wars D20 game. I’ll be trying my hand at action figure painting soon, with her scarf and backpack.
Her name is Kwuna Mek, and she’s from a clan of space-faring Jawas, who left Tattooine in search of that sweet, sweet trade opportunity.
She’ll eventually have two droid sidekicks -- a translator droid (P-LOM aka Lopima), and a reprogrammed battle droid (TD-K5 aka Teddy) that serves as her bodyguard. The battle droid has some defective parts, so instead of the normal battle droid voice he speaks like a Cool Action Movie Protagonist all the time.
She also: 1. is gay 2. is super annoying.
I’m excited to play her!
