So, the proof for how e (2.718…) is irrational is a long proof by contradiction that ends with ‘if e is rational, then there must be an integer between 0 and 1’. Makes sense. However, when they made that proof, they forgot to account for theta prime.

Audio Drama Sunday - 9th July ✨
For a good long while now, I've been sharing my weekly thoughts on the fantastic audio drama I've listened to each week on Twitter... I think it's time to start sharing them here too!
I’d love to start by shouting out @tellnotalespod’s S2 crowdfunding campaign. I need to know what happens to these characters like I need air to breathe and I have a specially vested interest as I’m going to be playing a really sweet ghostie this season. PLEASE let’s make this happen!!  
🌲Happy birthday to Mx Wellman, the @hellofromthehallowoods creator! I listened to this week’s episode while cycling to and from work and happened to be wearing leggings with lightning bolts on them…. You can imagine how FAST I got home during Olivier’s affirmations! 
📻 (104) The first @monstrousagonies letter made me so sad for the writer but really raises such a good point about how to cope with people doubting the authenticity of your identity. I especially feel that this is important when people enter more diverse (often online) spaces and meet people who have identities that you may not have met otherwise. If a new identity resonates with you, you can explore that! “And if you do decide that transformation is right for you, well. Welcome home.”
🌒 (S4E17) OUGH I don’t want to spoil anything because today’s Moonbase Theta Out (@monkeymanproductions) episode isn’t out at the time of writing but oh my GOD. BRACE yourselves. You’re going to cry, you’re going to laugh, you’re going to wish you could act HALF as well as Tau Zaman and Cat Blackard!! I am SO excited for the season finale - I’m sure it’s going to be … explosive. 
🧛‍♂️ @re-dracula Renfield time! I was so confused about this part of the story when I first read it, but the team are doing an amazing job of bringing it to life! 
🧬 Ep 3 of Regina Prime was great! Poor Prime, she’s wandering into something far greater than she could have ever anticipated and I love the contrast between her cheerful exploration and the jaded additions from Omega. I’m enjoying this so much!! 
 💫 This week I listened to episodes 7-9 of Wolf 359. I love Doug and Hera’s relationship. I’m not sure if the genre of the show is going to shift over time, but I’m really enjoying how it’s falling in the same weird place as WTNV where the events are strange and a little uncomfortable, but you’re always waiting for the punchline. 
Hope everyone has a lovely week! I’ve told myself that I’m going to wrap up writing S2 of The Vesta Clinic by the end of the month and it’s looking like that’s going to be possible!! Sending only the finest creative vibes to everyone else who’s working on something they want to be proud of!

Wrote down a little bullshitted up lineage of primes thing as a treat, and I threw in a few of primes for a gap in between Prime Nova and Nova Prime, the latter is in my list as "Nova Prime 2: electric boogaloo" which is hilarious.
The oc primes:
Prime Proxima, Prime Plerion, Caerulus Prime, Cepheidis Prime, Asterism Prime, Luminus Prime, and Theta prime

♢  —    @bitbrumal​​​​​ asked: ON THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS PANTALONE SENT TO ME         twelve personal records kept eleven projects approved     ten fishbone corsets nine leather leashes     eight spy assistants         seven lambskin gloves ( yes seven you're getting an odd number f you ) six tailored waistcoats  five fresh cadavers four fraudulent receipts     three soft fur collars two dismissed requests                        & a pension fund committee
UNPROMPTED ASKS : ALWAYS ACCEPTING!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
   “  Just WHAT is all this doing in my LAB, Regrator?  “
Had it been anyone OTHER than Dottore, they would have gazed upon the mountain of presents with DELIGHT and GREED. But this is not anyone else. And because of that, it is most likely to achieve the EXACT thing Pantalone desires. Beneath Dottore’s masked visage there was only ANNOYANCE at the clutter that has been brought into his lab with garishly bright paper and bows. An already annoying situation was EXASTURBATED by the presence of Pantalone’s SMUG smile beside him. Despite how TEMPTING brash action might be to rid himself of these presents, curiosity and the faint hope of something actually USEFUL among all the gifts makes him wait.
   (  Well, MORE hope of usefulness at least. The cadavers had ALREADY been found, and thus had been planted the idea that it might not ALL be pointless. The eight new agents assigned to him however was NOT something he was wanting. He’d be discussing having them moved away anyways. If all else failed, terrifying them to death would work.  )
   And thus begins the grueling task of UNWRAPPING gifts. Weren’t people always saying this was supposed to be FUN? Quite frankly, Dottore was of the belief that this pile would convince him otherwise by the end of it. The records earned an eyeroll, but the APPROVED projects gained an visible expression of delight. Yet BEFORE he can already come to a screeching halt to ramble about these projects, another gift is shoved into his hands...and thus begins a rather BAFFLING experience for THE DOCTOR. 
   Leashes? Well THAT certainly sends a message (a BOAST to the fact Pantalone has the MOST influence over him, or a more LITERAL message of a desire? Perhaps it was both.) as do the dismissed requests. Yet the waistcoats and gloves say another matter and resemble what he’s heard of as more traditional gifts. He is every bit as PETTY however and seeing the odd number only guarantees the fact that ONE SEGMENT at least will just wear one. (And THEN who would be annoying who when Pantalone sees?) As for the corsets...Well quite frankly, he isn’t quite sure WHAT to take away from that. Is it a jab at posture? Is it just Pantalone’s appallingly lavish tastes? They’re clearly expensive, but even PANTALONE must know such a gift is IMPRACTICAL for the doctor. He hardly attends formalities as it is and prefers sending DELTA, the one most similar to PRIME, to stand in his place. One or two at most would have been enough, but TEN? He’s rather sure its Pantalone simply FLASHING his wealth again. What he won’t do is admit to how long he gave them a puzzled stare after each one was unwrapped.
   The pension fund confirms the wealth. The seconds scowls with a flash of jagged teeth at the ninth with a growl. “  Pantalone.  “  He shoves the wrapping paper aside now, scowl deepening as the tape sticks to straps and feathers that require him to yank them all off.  “  RETIREMENT is not in the plans, nor SHALL it be. The older segments more or less are.  “  He huffs, arms folding across his chest before gesturing at all of this.  “  The MORA of all of this would have been fallen completely and easily into the category of satisfactory if you wished to be oh so generous.  “  he drawls, sarcasm dripping from the last few words. Pantalone isn’t GENEROUS without a purpose. Like annoying Dottore.  “
   “  Are you doing this to EVERYONE, or am I just SPECIAL?  “  He abruptly TURNS the tables of the act, or at least makes a valiant vie for it as his masked visage swings from the pile to Pantalone himself.

Could I request child reader who’s always really curious and frequently ends up getting hurt in dottores lab
Reminders to avoid confusion: Webttore will be called Theta, Omega is the segment in Sumeru who got the gnosis, Prime is Zandik himself.
Tumblr media
To say that the segments were confused would be an understatement.
They are looking at you, who was being carried by Prime, as if you are a new species that they have never seen before across all Teyvat.
Meanwhile you, looking at them with your doe eyes, could only stare at them in wonder. Curiosity flashing across your face as you gripped on Prime's clothes so as to not fall.
"The fuck is that?" asked the segment with a mask that almost covers his whole face.
"'That' is a child, Beta. I suggest that all of you should keep the swearing to a minimum when in their presence." Prime said as another segment approached you and poked your cheek.
"Where did you even find them? Don't children have parents?"
"Their parents have been neutralized. I didn't expect to find them still alive under all the rubble after their house burned down. But their curiosity about the world around them is quite an amazing feature which is why I decided to keep them and turn them into my apprentice."
You giggled at the segment poking your cheek, his mask making you want to see the face underneath. Your hand quickly reached out and pulled the mask away from the segment's face.
Said segment could only stare at you in shock as you looked back at his ruby red eyes with a smile, your curious eyes glancing at the other segments that were wearing masks as well.
"If you have any complaints, do speak now and tell them. If not, this child will be living with us from now on."
The whole room was engulfed with silence, the segments glancing between you and Prime.
"Then it's settled."
The segments thought it wouldn't be too hard taking care and teaching you to fulfill that curious mind of yours.
It was a lie. The segments are fucking stressed out.
Every time you're in the lab with them, you always manage to get yourself hurt because of your curiosity. That mind of yours is always hungry to learn new things. The quote 'curiosity killed the cat' is true. You're the curious cat, luckily they were able to keep you away from dying and accidentally killing yourself.
But please for the love of Tsaritsa herself, listen to what they tell you.
Smashing a test tube and getting cuts from the glass shards because you wanted to know what the weird blue liquid was when Gamma told you not to touch it? Gamma had to clean up the mess meanwhile getting scolded by Prime.
The segments made Alpha watch over you for the time being since he was doing the paperwork for the day. You were sat upon Alpha's lap while he read through each document on the desk and sorting them out. The segments thought that you wouldn't hurt yourself if you were surrounded with papers instead of glass and chemicals.
They thought wrong.
'How the fuck did you get papercuts thrice within a day?!'
Alpha was cleaning up the wounds on your fingers while muttering at how you were even able to get yourself hurt. He didn't expect you to suddenly give him one of the files and tell him the errors he missed.
Then there was Iota who got too impatient with you failing to solve a very difficult science equation that he yelled at how much of a dumbass you are only to get scolded by Prime himself. Iota swore not to do it again so as to not get caught within Prime's anger.
Not only are you always getting hurt, the segments have to deal with Prime's anger and disappointment towards them for being irresponsible with you.
The segments were somewhat glad to have either Omega or Theta around whenever Prime was busy. Aside from Prime, you listen and obey to Omega and Theta.
Still, no matter how many injuries you get and how many scoldings and punishments the segments go through, they still cherish you as their own little sibling.
Prime even gifted you the same earring of a vial filled with strange blue liquid that he and his segments wore.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST THEM, SIGMA?!"
"HAVE YOU GONE DEAF, EPSILON? I LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR THEM. I EVEN TRIED TO GET THEM TO COME OUT USING THOSE COOKIES THEY LIKE."
"We are so dead.. Prime is gonna go on a killing spree if he finds out we lost (y/n)!"
"Let's all try to calm down and try to remember where she was earlier. That way we can get a clue on where she went."
"Wait, wasn't (y/n) crying when Omega was set to go to Sumeru?"
"...THEY'RE WITH OMEGA!"
"Omega!"
Omega turned his head as he watched you run over to him and cling onto his leg.
"(y/n), what are you doing here? Do the others know that you came with me?" Omega asked as he picked you up and carried you in his arms, your earring swaying side to side with each step he took.
"I don't want you to go so I hid from the others and came with you. I also want to see Sumeru." you replied, not knowing about the chaos that is happening back at the palace.
Omega only sighed and shook his head, walking on ahead and ignoring the stares he was getting from the fatui soldiers accompanying him.
"You know Prime is going to be very upset that you left without informing him." Omega stated as he felt you tense up in his hold.
"I don't want him to be upset.. I don't want to be neutralized.." you muttered. You didn't want Prime to neutralize you, you don't even know what he meant by that but you could only think of it as a punishment. Meanwhile Omega was surprised to hear you use the term. He knows Prime would never do that to you. Sure you may be an accident-prone child but your current knowledge and views about Teyvat helped them with their research.
You are definitely fit to be Dottore's apprentice and every segment can give a reason why.
"You won't be neutralized, dear. As long as you listen to what I tell you while we're here then I'll give you a tour of Sumeru, hm?" Omega suggested, making you look up at him with a nod.
"I'll even show you the ruin guards that Prime used to tinker with back then." Omega added with a hum as he heard you squeal in excitement.
Curiosity cannot kill the cat, the segments are here to watch her back.

Where's My Kiss?
Genshin men see you kiss something, and can't help but want one for themselves... ft. Dottore, Zhongli
Fluff - Romantic - SFW - GN Reader (No Pronouns) - Drabbles
Warning: Very slight swearing in Dottore’s part
Part 2 - ft. Gorou, Wanderer
Tumblr media
Dottore
Your husband had been on his official trip to Sumeru for some time now, and before his departure, he naturally left you and the segments to continue the work in the lab. Although you had been working with Dottore for years in his experimentation and lab work, it still filled you with pride to know he trusted you enough to leave the work in your hands for a time, especially with how commanding he liked to be.
Dottore was due to return today, and as thrilled as you were at the thought of seeing him again, you thought it best to throw yourself into your work until his homecoming. After all, the more you could complete before his inevitable inspection of your progress, the better.
You called on one of the younger segments today, many of the older versions of your husband away in meetings or on official business. You knew that some of them were not as happy as you to know Prime was returning, so you let them take their time away. The younger segment, Theta, looked just like your dear lover when he was straight out of being expelled from the Akademiya on account of manslaughter and the propagation of unethical sciences. Ah, what cherished memories.
The two of you set to work, yourself constantly and eagerly glancing at the clock, anxious about Dottore's return. Theta sees this but makes no comment, that is until about another five of your time-checks.
"Ugh, will you stop that! I can't imagine why you'd even be so eager for him to come back, it's not as if he cares about us!" The outburst felt rather sudden, making you step away from the machinery in front of you for a moment.
"Whatever do you mean, Theta?"
"It's not as if you of all people would understand, he wouldn't say a thing against you if you decided never to pick up a beaker again! But we just get all his tasks that he can't bother with, and then a scrutinous comment about how it should have been done! He never cares to acknowledge that we are just as intelligent as he is, that bloody-"
Theta saunters around the lab, raising his arms and yelling in frustration. Before he went too bold with his exclamations, you decided to step in and calm him down. Theta’s situation with Prime would only worsen if he came back in to find him insulting his name.
You stepped around Theta's tense form, gently placing your hands on his shoulders to ease them, moving slowly as you smoothed his coat down.
"Come now, Theta. He's not so bad, and I'm sure he understands exactly how much you are truly worth, he was you, at one time, you know," Theta melts a touch at your soft voice and caress, but holds his grimace.
"Hm. As if the ancient bastard remembers,"
"Hey, that's enough of that," You pout, causing the segment to tense his jaw and look away, crossing his arms with a huff. "Theta?"
"I... apologise," he hisses, but you smile even despite the delivery. You cup Theta's face and press a kiss on his cheek, the clone's face reddening and his body tensing back up.
"What in Teyvat are you doing?"
The two of you turn to the door, where a bitter-faced Zandik stood, apparently just having entered, and just having returned to Snezhnaya.
You immediately separate from the segment to greet your husband happily, although his gaze did not leave Theta's unmoving form.
"You. Leave. Now." Theta huffed at the order from the Doctor, yet obeyed all the same.
As soon as the door closed behind him, Dottore turned to stand over you, his intimidating frame not quite so for you. How could you be frightened when the object of your affection was finally here?
"What was that?" he questioned harshly.
"He looked like he needed it."
A silence overtook you, neither of you needing to move nor speak for the conversation to continue across your minds.
"Do you need one too?"
"I do not need anything. Although I fully intend on taking what I want."
You hardly had a moment to process before the doctors hand firmly clasped the back of your neck, bringing your lips to his. You blinked, but eventually relaxed, allowing you and your husband to indulge in reuniting.
The two of you parted, and you smiled as you brushed his bangs away from his mask.
“Welcome home, Zandik,”
Zhongli
After leaving the Funeral Parlor for the evening, locking up and leaving behind a hard day's work, Zhongli's immediate first thought was to find you. His beloved partner, who loved him enough to step down from godhood alongside him, who had been loving him for centuries, and promised with a gold band never to stop.
There were only a few places you would be at this time of day, but Zhongli knew that with the bright sunset and cool breeze, you'd likely be gazing over the world at the height of Jueyun Karst. An old habit of yours that never died was to watch the world from above, especially as it turned dark and the stars took watch. As the god of clouds, it was natural that you had an affinity for the spires of rock that Zhongli had created in his youth.
You laughed bashfully when he told you many centuries after he’d made them that one of his motivations for doing so had been to impress you, and the other to have an excuse to be closer to your domain.
The memory made the former god smile as he walked through the plains of Liyue, admiring the scenery and the image of you in his mind. It wasn't long before Zhongli was stepping up the slope of Qingyun Peak, looking around expectantly, waiting for you to come into his view. And when you finally did, he couldn't help but stop to stare.
Zhongli let a sighing breath out through his smile, watching as you gracefully kneeled to inspect the bud of a qingxin flower. It seemed that the others around it were in full bloom, but this particular flower was falling a little behind. Zhongli watched with interest as your brow furrowed in worry before you leaned your head down, and gave the bud the lightest peck.
Even with your stepping down from heavenly grace you still held a great deal of power, and from your simple touch, the flower grew taller, its stem widening and leaves unfurling with its petals. Soon, the small bud had become a fully bloomed qingxin, shining pure white under the moon. Zhongli felt his heart expand in his chest at your action. It seemed that no amount of time spent with you could prepare him for how much he loved and admired you. His gaze was particularly attached to your lips, teasing him with the softness they portrayed when you blessed the flower with their touch.
It was at this time that you raised your head and spotted your husband, chuckling at his awed smile. You approached silently, head bowed but smile apparent.
"Hello good sir, what pray tell might you be hoping to gain by ascending the sacred stones of Jueyun Karst?" You tease, stopping just short of leaning against the man.
"Why, I had no intention of offending the kind, bewitching deity that resides in these mountaintops, although I simply had to affirm the legend of the god's beauty myself."
You hummed, taking Zhongli's face in your hands and caressing his cheek gently.
"Is that so?"
"Indeed," the former archon affirmed, bringing his arms around your back to pull you to him. "You are ever the most enchanting creature to have walked the skies, my love,"
You broke the flirtatious atmosphere with a snort, followed by a series of giggles, leaning against Zhongli's chest as he raised his eyebrow with a smile.
"Is there something you find funny, dearest?"
"I wasn't exactly expecting a pun, that's all."
"Ah, I had not intended..." Zhongli coughed into his hand to alleviate the embarrassed crackle in his voice. "Although it is forever true that you enchant me. Fully and truly. In fact, I would be honoured if you bestowed a blessing on me, perhaps the same one you have placed upon the lucky bloom?"
Your face warmed at the implication that he'd seen you kiss the flower. Somehow there were still moments of shyness in your relationship, despite its infinite length. However, you didn’t so much mind that your heart still fluttered around Zhongli. If anything, you found it quite comforting.
You placed your hands gently across Zhongli’s chest, leaning into him. In turn, the geo-wielder brought his hand to your chin to guide you into a sweet kiss.
Zhongli sighed into your touch, enjoying you thoroughly, yet smiling in the knowledge that neither of you would be satisfied with just one kiss.

HII!!! CAN U GET A FLUFFY ONESHOT WITH DOTTORE(WEBTOON VER) PLSSSS.... like he has a huge soft spot for you but REFUSES to acknowledge it when ppl ask... and he can never stop staring at reader IDK im down horrendous for him
Stay
Dottore (webtorre) x Reader
Tumblr media
Of course you can. Thanks so much for requesting something from me it rlly means so much you're my fav person rn😭🖤
I'm just calling him webtorre so hopefully that's fine.
Tell if you like it or not 😋
_____________________________________________
You've been Dottore's lover for a while now so of course you're allowed to wander around the lab since he gave you special permission to. Obviously in the lab it would be impossible not to meet his clones. They're everywhere, lots of them. You've met segments that look identical to him, segments in his Akedemyia days and even segments that are children
In your opinion though your favorite segment is when Dottore was in his early fatui days. This version of Dottore has gained your affections quite easily and if you're not with Prime everyone's second guess is him. His name is supposed to be Theta but you gave him a nickname, Webtorre. He pretends to hate it though.
You love Webtorre very much. He's much more wild in terms of Prime, but he's quite funny. He has this "hee hee, ho ho" laugh and it makes you giggle every time at his sharp toothed smile.
You find that he's quite affectionate too, in more strange ways that is. Often, you notice that if you're in the same room with him, he can't stop staring at you. If you ask he'll say you're being delusional but you know that those beautiful, red eyes have been locked on you the whole time.
Throughout harbinger meetings, or while you roam the lab. There is always a pair of eyes on you. Webtorre loves to look at you. He won't tell anyone else that not even you, his darling. However he just can't seem to drag his eyes away. You're not stupid you know he's burning holes into you but you don't say anything.
Believe it or not you like his staring. How he can't look away even if he wants to. He gazes at you like you're the most important thing to him and you love it.
You love the way his attitude changes from you compared to other people. To other people Webtorre is a terrifying segment of Dottore. Who experiments on people and tortures them just for the fun. Webtorre shows ill intent or aggression to other people, but never to you. Never you.
He looks at other people with angry eyes and furrowed brows, or a look of intrigue because he plans to dissect them. Not you though. When he looks at you it's the literal definition of "his gaze softened".
Webtorre is quick to deny the claims that he has a soft spot for anybody, much less you. Waving the claims away, but if anyone were to take a chance on you because of his denial? You'll find that the person has gone missing and you might even find parts of them in jars the next day.
So while Webtorre does deny the claims and rumors, everyone knows not to touch you, much less look at you unless they want an angry harbinger in their path.
**********************************************************
You let out a big sigh, slumped on Prime's office desk. He's left for some big mission again. Which leaves you here alone and bored. What do you do when you're bored? Bother Webtorre.
So that's what you do. You wander down halls and rooms looking for him. The lab is actually quite large and branches off to even more places, you often get lost. You open a door to a smaller lab and finally spot fluffy blue hair.
"Webtorre! I've been looking for you my love, are you busy?" You say in a sing-song voice and walk over to him.
He grunts from his seat, "Of course I'm busy" but he pats his lap anyways, demanding that you sit with him. And who are you to deny? You slide on to his lap and lie your head on his shoulder. He's always acting like such a grump but he never denies you of anything.
You shiver from the lab's AC. Even though you're in the freezing winters of Snezhnaya, Webtorre loves keeping the rooms cold. He's quick to move his coat around you though so you can warm up. He doesn't need it, he has his own heat source. His heat source is lumped in his lap right now.
You yawn and shove your face into the crook of his neck, while he scribbles away in a notebook. It's an early morning and you're still sleepy. Webtorre smiles and shows his sharp rows of teeth. "Tired, my love?"
When you nod he starts rubbing his hand through your hair. "Then sleep, I'm not moving anytime soon."
You hum and close your eyes. You could use some sleep but you enjoy just relaxing here. Plus it's hard to sleep when you can feel his gaze locked on you, and when he's playing with your hair. You enjoy it though so you say nothing to halt his actions.
It's not until another presence walks in the room that Webtorre goes back to being a grump. He doesn't push you away or anything he just goes back to his huffy-puffy attitude. You smile to yourself and keep your eyes closed.
"Oh? Look at you Theta. You're getting soft, I see" you hear Pantalone's voice tease. He takes a step closer to you but is quick to take a step back when Webtorre's eyes snap to him.
"I'm not going soft, they fell in my lap" he huffs and looks back at you. It is undeniable how his gaze softens though. "Don't call me that, my name is Webtorre you incompetent oaf" you fight off a giggle.
"Don't be so polite, Webtorre. That one is always clinging to your side... Or maybe it's the other way around?" Pantalone chuckles raising his hand to his mouth.
"I don't cling to anybody, idiot. You're a blind fool if you think that's what's going on. Obviously they're the ones clinging to me" he rolls his eyes. "It's not your business anyways, get out before I put you on a lab table" Webtorre snarls.
Pantalone laughs but he leaves anyway. You are trying to hold yourself together so you don't start having a giggling fit into his neck. Webtorre isn't dumb though he knows you're awake.
It's amazing how fast his claws are put away and he stops his hissing. "Oh, what's so funny my dear?" He smiles and grips your waist.
You hum tapping your lips, "I think we cling to each other don't you think?" You tease him and look up at your lover's face.
"Ugh you're just as dumb as Pantalone, be quiet and go back to sleep." He huffs and tries to shove your face back into his neck.
You laugh, knowing he's just trying to hide his blushing face. "Noooo, you cling to me just as much Doctor" you giggle, and start giving little pecks to his face.
Webtorre groans and stares at you, "... Maybe" he grumbles. He pulls you closer against him and fixes his coat back on you. "Now shut up and sleep before I kick you out" you giggle but willingly lie back down into his chest. You know he would never push you away. You're his darling after all.
__________________________________________________
I hope it isn't too short and I hope you enjoyed it 🥰

Humans are weird: Man vs Machine
Official inquire #37914 Subject: Destruction of military outpost Theta Prime Present: Military Commander Cinth Nevar Imperial Investigator Prim Tud Private Dil Lunk *Recording begins*
Prim: All requested parties are here, so we shall begin with the inquiry.
Cinth: I want this on record that this entire proceeding is pointless.
Prim: The Emperor and senate disagree.
Dil: Excuse me sirs, but why am I here?
Prim: You are the only surviving soldier who was on duty patrolling the perimeter of the base.
Prim: Your report for the night is critical to my investigation.
Dil: I’m not sure how much help I can be; we only patrolled the interior of the base.
*Sound of typing stopping*
Prim: What do you mean by that?
Dil: Well the security system monitored the outside of the base and us live soldiers patrolled the inside.
Prim: That seems like a critical hole in security.
Cinth: Not at all.
Cinth: The system was designed to spot any hostile life forms and either neutralizes them or, in the case of wildlife, drive them away from the base.
Prim: And has this system been used in other bases before your command?
Cinth: It has not.
Prim: Why not?
Cinth: The technology is still in the prototype phase and was implemented on my base as the first field test.
Cinth: I went over the reports myself daily and deemed it effective enough to redeploy my soldiers to inside the base.
Prim: You went over all the reports?
Cinth: I just said that I did.
Prim: And there were no discrepancies at all?
Cinth: None.
Prim: Interesting.
Prim: We recently obtained the bases black box from the wreckage of the base.
Dil: That’s impressive given the explosion that wiped out the base.
Prim: They are built to withstand much worse.
Prim: When we went through the logs we found several entries in the monitoring system we were hoping you could explain to us.
*Sounds of a holographic projector being powered on*
Prim: This is two nights before the explosion at the base from monitor-
Cinth: 39-75N; I can tell from the forest in the background.
Prim: Correct.
Prim: The video is time stamped at roughly midnight for the planet; please watch closely and observe.
*Holographic projections speeds up through time showcasing the area as Cinth and Dil watch until the sun rises.*
Cinth: I see nothing out of the ordinary.
Prim: You don’t?
Prim: What about here?
*Holographic projection rewinds too shortly after midnight and the trio see a shadowy figure slowly walk across the screen.*
Prim: Can you explain that?
Cinth: That is a Wrath Hog, a native animal species in the area.
Dil: We saw a couple dozen of them at a time when the base was being built, then they just stopped coming by when the foot traffic increased.
Prim: *Rubs bridge of long nose*
Prim: That is not a “Wrath Hog”, that is a human soldier hunched over wearing the pelt of one.
Cinth: Impossible!
Cinth: The monitor would have detected that and alerted the base!
Prim: Computer, enhance image in grid 34x67 and increase light levels.
*Computer enhances image and increases brightness to reveal better image*
Dil: By the gods it really is a human.
Prim: Are you sure?
Dil: *Points at back legs* Those are human military boots. A friend of mine once took a pair as a trophy.
Prim: Why then did the machines not alert the base?
Prim: How was a lowly private able to identify an enemy combatant while a state of the art computer system could not?
Cinth: I do not know.
Prim: It couldn’t possibly be that they were programmed only to register the standard appearance of a human; would it?
Cinth: I am not a tech smith.
Prim: But you said that you went over there reports every day?
Cinth: I do not need you to remind me of what I said, bureaucrat.
Prim: *Turns to Dil* You said you had seen these boots before?
Dil: Yes sir.
Prim: And had you been patrolling the exterior of the base do you think you would have seen their footprints?
Dil: They are very distinctive sir, so yes.
Prim: Hmmm.
*More typing*
Prim: This was taken at the same time the following night.
*Darkness outside the base but the three can see a large shadowy figure moving again*
Cinth: That’s no native animal.
Prim: No.
Prim: That is a human holding a pair of leafy branches in their arms and slowly walking across the field.
Cinth: What!?
*Computer enhances image to reveal a human in brown and green war paint holding two large branches and a strange satchel strapped to their back*
Cinth: There must have been a failure in the system!
Cinth: That human is standing upright like any other human.
Prim: But because of the branches the system mistook them for plant life and left them alone.
Cinth: This is all-
Prim: And this was taken the night of the explosion itself, same time of day as the previous videos.
*Video shows a square box slowly inching its way across the open field and making it to the perimeter wall*
Cinth: *groans*
Dil: That looks like a packing container we get supplies in.
Prim: Which is why the system mislabeled it “lost cargo”, sent a report to the quarter master, and ignored it for the rest of the night.
Cinth: *Says nothing*
Dil: I don’t understand why they would sneak into the base like this.
Prim: From our spies in the human league we learned that this tactic was used to further bypass the system.
Prim: The humans operated under the assumption that each encounter would be recorded and used for future reference, and that any discrepancies from the original encounter would trigger an alert.
Prim: By bypassing the system in so many different methods they ensured each subterfuge was logged as the original encounter and would have nothing to reference.
Prim: As to why they did this repeatedly they carried a large amount of explosives across each night and placed them throughout the base.
Cinth: This shows that the prototype system is a complete failure.
Prim: A failure that will cost you millions of credits.
Cinth: I do not follot.
Prim: We know you lobbied for that system to be installed and that you are a controlling shareholder of the technomats who create it.
Cinth: That is just-
Prim: As for you private Dil we have determined that as the sole remaining patroller of the base you will be held accountable for failing to defend it properly.
Dil: But I didn’t know!
Cinth: This will never hold up in the courts!
Prim: Quite right, which is why I was chosen to handle this matter.
*Sound of gun being cocked and fired twice*
*Two loud thuds hit the floor*
Prim: This completes inquire #37914.
Prim: Recommendation is that all perimeter algorithms and software currently being used for security purposes be retrofitted with new configurations or deactivated and replaced for living soldiers.
Prim: End recording. ( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)

Audio Drama Sunday - 20th August ✨
I must admit that I dedicated A LOT of listening hours this week to the new Hozier album (which is incredible omg) but I still had some great audio drama listening!
🌲@hellofromthehallowoods (129) What a fun break from episode convention! I’ve been highly suspicious of Nimbus from the start, and I feel vindicated that he’s not a normal cat as well as relieved that he doesn’t seem to be overtly malicious. I can’t relate to Nikignik’s dislike of felines, but it did really make me chuckle when it was revealed that all indescribables fear cats… Buddy, you can fear something without reviling it! Ough and the look-in on Jackie HURT MY FEELINGS so bad!! I can’t cope with sad dogs 🥺
🦀 @thesiltverses (30) TSV is back, babey!!! The sound design at the start of the episode was phenomenal, I loved the way they weaved music in with the sound effects in such a fluid way (the river sure does rise!) And oh man, Faulkner, you fucking idiot. They know!! They all know!!! It is such a delight to hear some of my favourite VAs doing their amazing work again. Méabh de Brún has absolutely annihilated me already. I’m obsessed with this discovery that the Trawlerman appears to still favour Carpenter while the Caring Maiden seems to slip away the more Carpenter seeks her. I should have started a S3 bingo because I was hoping so badly that Carpenter would join up with Hayward and Paige!! This season is going to be amazing. I’m so ready. 
📻 @monstrousagonies (108) Mab!! The queen returns! I am ever so slightly skeptical that Apocacorp is all bluster . . . I just feel like, even if that is the case, they’re not going away without more of a fight . . . 
🌒 @monkeymanproductions Moonbase Theta, Out (finale part 1) OHHHHH SHIT!!! It’s all kicking off on the moon!!!!! I love Alex’s sweet, sincere hopefulness in: ‘We’ve been through the end of so many things but we’re still here’ 💙 Isn’t that just it! I don’t want to give away the major spoiler because the ep only just dropped but oooohhhh my god! I was wondering if this might happen and wrote the idea off. This changes everything!! 
🎙 Welcome To Night Vale (232) HELL YES. I have been waiting literal YEARS to get into this business with the Desert Otherworld and its impact on my favourite scientist and the impact of both on my favourite community radio show host. My popcorn is ready, let’s get into it!!! 🍿
🤴I finished season one of InCo by @itmeblog! This is micro-scifi at its best and if you’re a fan of extensive single-person casts, InCo does it remarkably!! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story develops!
🧬 Regina Prime (6) OOF I think this is one of the most intense episodes we’ve had yet! The acting was amazing in this one, Jess pulled out a full Youtuber apology and managed to keep that edge in her voice to give you the prickling sensation that something isn’t quite right. 
 💫 Wolf 359 (48) Ugh what an absolute mind fuck! I’ve been tying myself in knots trying to work out how I would personally react and cope if faced with a scenario where one of my friends is not the person I knew but is otherwise indistinguishable from them. And I just don’t know!
🎩 @ethicstownpod (8) AAH!! Ethics finale!!! This show has been a wild ride from start to finish and WOW what an ending!! I really don’t want to give anything away to people who haven’t listened yet but I’m almost ashamed that I didn’t see this coming and if you haven’t listened to Ethics you really really need to!!! 
🥾@doyoucopypod (6) More questions than answers from this episode of Do You Copy! What does Reese know?! What doesn’t like you listening?? What doesn’t like you listening?!??! 
🐬 More spectacularly odd @patterspod P Files! It’s fun to hear the obvious mistake being made and I’m really looking forward to Ryan facing the consequences of certain actions….
I hope everyone has a lovely week!

❛❛ In which; Dottore got turned into a kid... ❜❜
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✎ ❛❛ How's the weather down there, doc? ❜❜
Pairing(s): Dottore x GN!Reader
Genre/Format: Crackfic (oneshot)
Warning(s): Use of Dottore's (speculated) real name
wc: ~1.2k
Notes: Just something random I wrote lol. Saw some art on Pinterest and omg KID DOTTORE IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE AHAKDSHAJAKSJDDOS
Tumblr media
During nights where Dottore would get held up in his lab, you'd sit on the bed and read one of your favorite books as you wait for him to come back. However, today seemed to be… different.
You just finished reading your book and when you looked at the time, it was already way past when Dottore would usually come back. You knew he's a genius man, whatever happened he could easily defuse the problem. But even so, you couldn't help but worry about him sometimes.
Getting up from your bed, you decided to put on a coat before making a trip to where you thought he'd be. As you made your way down to the hallway that leads you to his lab, you could hear a bunch of people arguing, among them a voice higher than the rest stood out.
"What do you mean you can't fix it?!"
"I've read every piece of research paper and I couldn't find anything!"
"Skill issue."
"Oh my Tsaritsa, all of you shut your damn mouths! You're giving me a headache!"
"You're a goddamn clone you can't even get a headache!"
All the voices quickly disappeared when you knocked on the door. Not waiting for a response, you grabbed the door handle and entered the lab.
"Dear? Is everything alright—"
You stopped talking as soon as you saw the mess in his lab. Papers and books were scattered across the room; vials that held unknown liquids were hastily put on the counter; shards of glass were shattered on the floor.
And the very person you were looking for was nowhere in sight.
What caught your attention the most were Dottore's segments that now had their gaze on you, gathering around in a circle in the middle of the room. They were standing pretty close to one another to the point where their shoulders touched so you weren't able to see past what their towering figures were blocking from your view.
After a few minutes of staring, you managed to mutter out, "Uh, what… happened here?"
One of the younger segments—Delta, who wore a black and white mask spoke up, "Nothing to worry about, darling! Aren't you supposed to be in your room right now? What brings you here?"
"Well, Prime is taking longer than usual to come back so I decided I'd come to check on him. Speaking of which, where is he anyway?" You asked, getting a bit closer to the group.
Upon the mention of Prime, all of the segments looked a bit more visibly stressed.
Before you got too close, Theta (another younger segment), who was reading through some papers nearby, stepped in front of you with a smile.
"Oh, you know, Prime is doing his usual, um, Prime… things…?" His sentence ended with a nervous chuckle.
"Oh really?" You crossed your arms.
They were definitely hiding something.
Walking around Theta, you attempted to approach the group once more. Before you could do that, Theta stepped in front of you again.
"Why- Why don't I escort you back to your room, dear? It's two in the morning and I'm pretty sure you're tired."
"I will go back when I make sure Prime is alright."
"He is—"
You gently pushed past Theta while the other segments were trying to convince you to not get close to them.
But to their horror, you managed to squeeze through their bodies and look at what they were hiding.
You gasped.
In the middle, there sat a kid who looked to be ten with short blue fluffy hair and a pair of huge red eyes. His arms were crossed and he looked grumpy.
He looked almost exactly like the other younger segments, albeit his obviously smaller size and had a rounder face.
As far as you'd know, Dottore never had a child segment of himself, maybe this was the first one?
"Aww, who's this little guy?" You asked while picking who you assumed to be a segment, flailing his arms.
"That's um—"
"Who's the cutest boy? Yes you are! Yes you areee~" You cooed, holding him with one arm while the other was pinching his cheek as he whined.
"Stahp. Pwinching. Me!" His words slurred a little due to you squishing his face.
As you were too busy focusing on the boy, Omega came over to you and blurted out:
"That's Prime, dear."
"...huh?" Upon hearing what he said, your eyes widened and all of your movements ceased.
"Gah! Finally, now let me talk!" The boy exclaimed.
But before he could say anything, you turned your head back to him.
"...Zandik?"
"Yes, that's me, (Y/n)."
Silence filled the air as the both of you stared at each other. Only for it to be broken when you laughed.
"What— BWAHAHAHA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
"I— Stop laughing!"
But how could you take him seriously when he sounded so cute? His usually deep voice and intimidating demeanor was completely gone.
And that was something that happened two hours ago, you were now back at your room as you watched Dottore doodle on a piece of paper with his crayons.
He had explained that he was still himself. But since he was now a kid, it didn't come as a surprise that he'd also have the mindset of one too.
"We couldn't find a way to turn him back immediately, we'll have to wait it out."
"For how long?"
"No idea."
You closed your eyes as you sighed, recalling the conversation you had with the segments earlier. God knows how long it'd be before Dottore would turn back to his regular self.
Someone tugged on one of your sleeves and you opened your eyes, Dottore was holding up a piece of paper, proudly showing you what he had drawn.
"Oh wow! That's a nice drawing, love! Is that… um, someone strapped to a… table?" You squint your eyes, trying to make out what these messy lines depicted.
"An operation table, to be exact! This is what will happen to those stupid asses of clones when I turn back to my adult self!"
"Hey, watch your language, mister."
"I'm not a kid!"
"Are you sure about that?"
---
As time passed, you were now reading Dottore a story and tucked him to bed.
"—and so, the prince defeated the evil dragon and saved the princess! Then they lived happily ever after. The end."
"That's lame."
"You'll take what you can get, dear." You told him.
"I could've done a better job at defeating the dragon! With how advanced my creations are, it could literally be destroyed in seconds!" He exclaimed as he put his arms in the air.
"Yes, of course. Now, go to sleep, okay?" You stood up, walking over to the couch.
"Wait!"
You turned back to him and raised a brow.
"Um, sleep with me, please?"
Oh my god those puppy eyes. You thought, trying not to squeal at how freaking adorable he looked. How could you refuse when he was looking at you like that?
Giving him a soft smile in response, you walked over and got into the bed with him. As you laid down next to him, he scooted closer to you and tucked himself into your chest.
"Give me a goodnight kiss too?"
Chuckling at his request, you pressed a little kiss on his forehead, ruffling his hair as you did so.
"Sleep tight now, dear."
"Night night…"
---
Bonus:
Some time during the hours as you were still asleep. You weren't sure if it was a dream or not, but you could've sworn you felt the familiar warmth of someone's arm hugging you close...

Here are the oc primes for my bullshitted up prime lineage list!
Tumblr media
Said list:
Tumblr media
I noticed on the tfwiki that on the "prime disambiguation" that Nova was listed as both in marvel-g1 as "Prime Nova" and in IDWG1 as "Nova Prime" and while they're probably just two different iterations of the same character in canon, I thought it would be fucking funny if in a homeblend continuity there was two and the latter is more infamous than the latter.
Okay pulling up the wiki again I just saw "Primon" existed and that he apparently existed before Prima, even though Prima is considered the first prime to get the Matrix, but since it seems like tfwiki has goddamn idea what to think about him either for now I'm excluding him even thought this was explicitly the "add as many primes as possible to a lineage" list.
This is 100% inspired by "Nor Is He Early", which I need to check up on again because I've been letting it update a bit more before I started reading again so that we could have a sizable session. But it's also inspired by me sitting down and realizing in various continuities there aren't actually that many primes and that when you scale it up to their lifespans, cybertronian history seems rather short. Or who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

What I’ve Learned About Puerto Rican Spanish (so far)-Part 1 out of probably more
Some notes before we begin:
-I’ve been studying Spanish on a whole for 3 months. I’m not a native speaker, nor am I Puerto Rican. I will be running this post by my Puerto Rican boyfriend for accuracy’s sake and so I don’t throw around misinformation
-if you can’t tell by me saying “Puerto Rican boyfriend” up there, I’ll be giving this dialect and accent the praise it rightfully deserves as a diverse piece of this beautiful language but I might be a little bit biased 😂
This is the dialect and accent that I’m slowly trying to integrate into my studies naturally so I can eventually adopt it as my own.
Puerto Rico and its language is a prime example of the very thing my nerd brain loves to learn about instead of actually studying the language like I should: the ways that various influences can shape a language. Puerto Rico was one of the lucky ones that got colonized two whole times (fun fact: This Is Bad) and because of that it’s a fairly bilingual culture. Their Spanish is not only beautifully Latino and Caribbean, it’s also very English. Spanglish, if you will. Cursed by the Anglophones. But it’s really cool, admittedly.
Pronunciation
All of this to say that Puerto Rican Spanish doesn’t have all that “c (the)” and “z (theta)” stuff from Spain, for starters, but there’s some other interesting aspects to the speech.
-Puerto Ricans speak fast. Maybe I’m just getting that impression as an A1 beginner but it seems like it’s true.
-Lots of times the “R” sound is replaced with an “L” (“hablar”=“hablal”)
-Like many other dialects they “eat the S” (“buscar”=“bucal”)
-but they’re still hungry so they also eat whole halves of words (“Estás”=“‘Ta”)
-if there’s a “D” in the middle of some vowels or at the end of a word it gets dropped (“cansado”=“cana’o”, “verdad”=“velda’”
-There’s this beautiful rhythm to their speech. It sounds a bit like maybe they put more emphasis on the vowels and I’ve heard it described as almost sing-song, but it’s hard to describe. It’s incredibly unique.
-in some areas the “R” can turn into a hard “H” sound, although I personally haven’t heard this yet
Unique words and phrases, there are more than these but these are the ones I understand enough to feel like I can teach ok vamos
“¿Qué es la que hay?”-“How’s it going?” (Sounds like “¿Qué la que hay?”)
Though most other ways to extend the same greeting can be used, this is a great one to get Puerto Ricans‘ attention and make anyone else go “where did you learn that, what, I’m so confused”
“Corillo”-“gang/group of friends”
This is equivalent to how we use “gang” in English casually to mean our friends, I don’t believe it means a literal gang with gang activity.
“Janguear”-“to hang out” (sounds like “jangueal”)
This is a verb that sounds exactly like what it means, since it comes from English. I have suspicions that there are multiple ways to spell it but this is what I was taught.
“Birra”-“beer”
Self-explanatory. I like this one more than “cerveza” anyway.
“Parquear”-“to park” (sounds like “palqueal”)
Another self-explanatory one. It’s fun to say and makes me wish I could drive so I had an excuse to say it.
“Ahorita”-uhhhhh
I lied about only picking words I understand. I’ll get back to you on this but from what I can tell if “ahora” means “now” then “ahorita” means “a little bit from now”(???). But I really don’t know, it’s not really that. But it is. Remind me to take this section out, alright cool.
“Puñeta”-lit. “jack off”, but a general curse word
Don’t use this one. Don’t tell anyone I told you about it. Take this to your grave. I’m a good influence. I’m a good influence. I’m a
“Bochinche”-“gossip”
This means gossip but not the idle kind, more like the kind you really shouldn’t be throwing around without really meaning it (like what I’m not doing with the words on this list). Slander, I guess. Don’t do this it’s mean 😡
“Duro”-“skilled”
This is in most Spanish dialects and usually means “hard” or “durable”, but Puerto Ricans use it in another way: to say someone’s good at something. Mi español no es duro, por ejemplo.
“Brutal”-“great”
This isn’t like “brutal” in English, being a bad thing. It’s slang that’s saying that something’s really cool or great.
“Buscar” can also mean “to pick someone up (from something)” in Puerto Rico, so like if you were offering to drive your friend somewhere. And it still can sound like “bucal”
think that’s all I’ve got in me
I get most of my info from this subject from the YouTube channel Learn Spanish Faster. Specifically the videos on various Puerto Rican words and the accent, both with more information than I have here. Definitely worth checking out!
I asked my boyfriend if he had anything to say to anyone reading this who might be interested in learning more. This is what he had to say:
“hmmm. Puñeta is much more than a general curse word. It’s a way of life. we say it for excitement. we say it for anger. we say it for sadness. when something is extremely difficult: ‘esto esta puñetero’”
He was very excited when I learned that word so it’s no surprise he would share this with you all. It’s a very versatile one he uses a lot and likes a lot (I like it too). Just please be responsible with it.
I’ll definitely make a part 2 once I learn more but this is a good place to leave it, I think.
¡Buena suerte!

♢  —    @bogachs​​​ asked: "thank you," he intones, taking the offered documents of prime's latest experiments off his hands. "you can be so much more cooperative than your master," he places a leisurely hand on his arm as he passes him by, leaning fowards with a mischievous smile decorating fair features as he whispers, gently, hotly, in theta's ear, "i like that about you," before nonchalantly continuing on his way.  //  (he saw theta's disgusted face once when he was kissing prime in front of him, so pantalone decided to be a pest)
UNPROMPTED: ALWAYS ACCEPTING  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
   “  They’re arranged in chronological order of what has been worked on the longest to the most recent. Prime figured you’d prefer it in such a manner.  “  Theta informs him, handing them over. It HAD crossed his mind to mix them up, but the last thing he needed was BOTH prime and the regrator on his case. The mere thought was a nightmare and catalyst for a potential headache.
   The younger segment gives an audible snort at the comment. Master? It was only himself. Just an older segment.  “  I’ve got better things to do than waste time. Sooner you have these papers, sooner i can go back to my work. “ He waves a gloved hand dismissively. It wasn’t for PANTALONE that he was being cooperative. Like the selfish man Dottore was, it was because it benefited HIM to just give the work over and be done with the banker. 
   The TOUCH however comes as a surprise, frowning with suspicion as red eyes dart to the seraphic hand resting before up just in time to see that APPALLING smile that spoke of nothing but irritation and trouble. GREAT. Just great. His mouth parts to snarl for him to keep his greedy hands to himself - but he only manages to get the inhale before Pantalone’s sickeningly sweet voice seeps into his ear like poisoned sugar. It’s rather COMICAL the expressions that fly across his usually clinically detached expression. Shock, disgust, befuddlement, all flashing across his face in rapid succession. 
   “  You-  !  “  But already Pantalone was disappearing down the hallway in a sweep of grandious elegance, leaving Theta to clench his fists in scalding silence. PRIME dealt with that constantly? APPALLING. He’d seen first hand with clear disdain and disgust the way those two coiled like vipers together when they kissed like they were shared venom. Why the hell- No. Nope! He wasn’t going to think about it and give Pantalone that satisfaction. He’d rather deal with Columbina’s pestering. He had an experiment to do, that’s right. 
   It does not stop him from shooting one more annoyed glare before turning heel to slink back to the comfort of his labs.
