I love how Doctor Who is mostly just ’a kinda spooky, funny show for ”kids & teens” ’ but then it just has those heart-wrenching moments that make you wanna stab yourself.

#10th really went through it huh #been watching it since I was 8 years old #10 years this year- fucking insane #doctor who #david tennant #10th doctor #donna noble #catherine tate #rose tyler #billie piper #thoughts #shows

2 and 16! :]

2. top 5 books of all time?

Oof this is difficult--I'm going to do standalones instead of series to simplify it a little. In no particular order: Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto, The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd Jones, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, The Martian by Andy Weir, Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke.

(obligatory disclaimer that at any given point in time I've forgotten the majority of the books I've read, so it's entirely possible I'll post this and then go augh!! how could I have forgotten so and so book it rewrote my brain chemistry)

16. how many books have you read this year?

I'm at 31 so far, a bit of a slow year because at the beginning of 2023 I was still working through the books my teacher had lent me and trying to prioritize them, but they're different enough from my normal books that they took more effort to get through and put me in a bit of a slump (I only read 2 books in february). But hopefully now that it's summer and I'm reading my own books again I'll catch up :)

i very much enjoyed being lent books but fact of the matter is they're harder to read sometimes

#ask game #quil's queries #everliving-everblaze #holy shit catherine #to check back through books I've read I logged into my goodreads for the first time in YEARS (like since 2018) #and??? I found the title of a book I'd been trying to remember for MONTHS #i only had the barest snippet of a memory of me reading it #and going huh. sucks that the sequel isn't out rn #i'm probably going to forget this book by the time it comes out #and I did. but I found it again!!! #and ALSO???? apparently mark of a dragonfly has?? two sequels??? that I"VE READ???? #i totally thought it was a standalone but apparently I read the sequels! #anyway. fascinating stuff

Second person pov, tw gaslighting, implied/referenced blood drinking and physical assault

In which Catherine is comforted by Igraine

"Drink your soup, Catherine." Igraine chides gently, one hand pressed delicately against your stomach.

You blink, bleary, and make a motion to move the bowl in your lap up to your mouth. Igraine cups your hands gently, and you lean back into her even more, and she lifts it for you. You suckle at the thick tomato and onion paste and sound like a mud puddle sucking in a frog. You turned your head and Igraine pulled it away, slow enough that it stopped your head from spinning.

You hadn't meant to come here. You had wanted your bed, and the thin comforting sheets to pass out on, and the candles that never went out, and the group of people there to rest with and—

"—erine, are you listening? Don't fall asleep yet."

And you wanted comfort, you thought blearily, looking at Igraine's flat expression. Someone who could turn the bile in your throat into soft, indulgent, swallowable sins.

You blinked at her slowly.

"Catherine."

It took you a minute to wet your lips, weighed down by exhaustion and tomato flavouring, "Yes?"

Her fingers forces your eyelid open, and you could just make out the end lines of her squint along her face. When the candle had been snuffed, you couldn't say.

She rubbed your cheek in what you would call affection, later, "You're really quite out of it."

You're mind worked sluggishly. You had that meeting and then. You touched your neck, felt the soft bruise there, and winced. "Ow."

"Easy," Igraine murmured softly, rubbing your arm, "Do you remember what happened?"

"Vaguely."

"Describe it to me."

You shifted away from her, and she pulled you back with a simple hand on your chest. You collapsed into her and she brushed your hair off your cheek, your noses touching.

"I had a meeting with her," you said glumly, digging your nails into the bowl, "We were, she was—"

"Angry?"

She rubbed your collarbone. "Hungry."

"Hm. Continue."

"The wine wasn't right. Taylor messed it up, she took my blood."

"You gave it," Igraine suggested gently, her thumb stroking along your skin, "as was the right thing to do, in such a situation."

You rolled the words over in your muddled mind, and you thought vaguely that you had said something before she bit into you, hadn't you?

"Um." You said, frowning, and couldn't wet your lips to keep talking.

"Don't be silly," Igraine said, fondly. "You wanted her to bite you. You offered her your blood, didn't you?"

You nodded, unsure. "I might have."

Igraine's eyes were bright, and you realised you'd been pressed flush into her body. She was warm, and clinical, and sharp in ways that Lady Dimitrescu was soft in. Igraine's hand caressed your cheek, "It must have been magnificent."

You tried to shrug, more interested in the way her thumb was indenting a mark into your cheek, "It was."

"You are so lucky, Catherine," she sighed, prettily, "Alcina never asks for my blood."

You felt your face warm and Igraine licked the new droplets making gentle trails down your shoulder, and you watched them melt into her tastebuds and disappear into her mouth.

"I guess—"

She kissed you and you melted instantly into her lips, barely feeling the sting of the gauze she pressed onto your bleeding wound.

"Most can only dream of that privileges," Igraine looked at you and smiled against your bloodless lips, "you're so lucky."

You sighed into her mouth when she kissed you again and closed your weary eyes to the sound of her voice.

#turns out i dont like tomato based sauces for my pastas #dimitrescu staff ocs #igraine: worst boss of the year #catherine house steward of the castle #igraine wesker chief of castle staff #the real situation is that catherine almost died and igraine dragged her out before she did‚ and is now lying through her teeth #to keep catherine from freaking out too much #no catherine‚ you didnt get attacked because lady d was in a bad mood #you offered your blood #anyway #evil lady d is evil #not proof read i die like a maiden

[lost-tardis-room]

there's a bit in the tardis wiki page for fifteen where it describes him as smth like 'free from the emotional baggage and deteriorating mental state of his predecessors' and its like. yup. things sure got Bad.

#i think theres a degree of writers always having the new doctors be a level up from the last even when that mean higher stakes bigger losses #more dramatic and traumatic events #like you literally cant do that forever b/c a) your shows gets miserable and boring and #b) there's no way the doctor actually can still function through all of that #like i was almost pleased when thirteen spends ~19 years in space prison immediately after the timeless child stuff cos like......... #she 100% would have gone rocketing off to do something new and never stopped to actually think about that properly #n like fourteen was Going Through It #ten was always the most emotional but fourteen was exhausted as well #say what you will about was is a good decision to bring david tennant n catherine tate back b/c i think they're brilliant and #the doctor deserves his chill time in donna's backyard #anyways #dw

Becoming an Intelligent Woman

My Dears,

There is no greater goal than being a fine woman who is intelligent, kind, and elegant. As much as we all want to be described with these adjectives, it takes a great amount of discipline to get there. It is very doable only if you are ready to put in the work.

Here are steps you can add to your routine in the next 4 weeks that will make you 1% more intelligent than you were before. This is a process that should become a habit not a goal. It is long term, however, I want you to devote just 4 weeks into doing these steps first and recognize the changes that follow.

Watch documentaries: This is the easiest step, we all have access to Youtube. Youtube has a great number of content on art, history, technology, food, science etc that will increase your knowledge and pique your curiosity. I really did not know much about world history especially from the perspective of World war 1 & 2, the roaring 20s, Age of Enlightenment, Jazz era, monarchies etc but with several channels dedicated to breaking down history into easily digestible forms. I have in the last 4 weeks immersed myself into these documentaries. Here are a few I watched:

The fall of monarchies

The Entire History of United Kingdom

The Eight Ages of Greece

World War 1

World War 2

The Roaring '20s

The Cuisine of the Enlightenment

2. Read Classics: I recommend starting with short classics so that you do not get easily discouraged. Try to make reading easy and interesting especially if you struggle with finishing a book. Why classics? You see, if you never went to an exclusive private school in Europe or America with well crafted syllabus that emphasized philosophy, history, art, and literary classics, you might want to know what is felt like and for me this was a strong reason. Asides that, there is so much wisdom and knowledge available in these books. In these books, you gain insights to the authors mind, the historical context of the era, the ingenuity of the author, the hidden messages, and the cultural impact of these books. Most importantly, you develop your personal philosophy from the stories and lessons you have accumulated from the lives of the characters in the books you read. Here are classics to get you started:

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald

Candide by Voltaire

Paradise lost by John Milton

3. Study the lives of people who inspire you: I dedicate one month to each person that fascinates me. I read their biography (date of birth, background, death, influences, work, style, education, personal life) For this month, I decided to study Frank Lloyd Wright because I was fascinated by the Guggenheim Museum in New York. I began to read about his influence in American Architecture (Organic architecture, Prairie School, Usonian style), his tumultuous personal life, his difficult relationship with his mentor (Louis Sullivan), his most iconic works etc. By the end of the year I would have learned the ins and outs of people I am inspired by through books and documentaries. Here are other people I plan to learn more about:

Winston Churchill

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Ada Lovelace

Benjamin Franklin

Helen Keller

John Nash

Isabella Stewart Gardner

Caroline Herrera

Ernest Hemingway

Catherine the Great

Ann Lowe

My dears, I hope you enjoyed this read. I cannot wait to write more on my journey to becoming a fine woman. I urge you to do this for four weeks and see what changes you notice. Make sure to write as well, it is important to document your progress.

Cheers to a very prosperous 2024!

hi, i see you are on hiatus, but thought at some point you might like to hear that january 28th is henry’s deathday ~ holiday anon

another one bites the dust (haha because you hoover dust)

#one year anniversary of this in my ask box <3 have a silly little niche comic that would only make sense if you’ve seen this one behind the #scenes video interview thing i don't remember #i was going to find it to link it but alas it was super old (before covid! before cast change!) and i gave up #it was like is henry involved in this show? and yeah he eats the confetti at the end that's it or smth like that #in the uk. there is this specific brand of vacuum cleaner// hoover? (why do they call it a hoover i had to go back and bri'ish-ify the #dialogue in this. goodness). and its name is henry. amongst other things. go google it ig #notes!! okay so like. was going to draw all six queens but ran out of stamina. i have spent the day doing idk what and my eyes kinda hurt #so you get the trio of? #catherine parr #jane seymour #anne boleyn #fun fact! i was scrolling through the inbox today and coincidentally saw this and today's date. insane. and so i kinda rushed this out. #also. not sure if you've seen this @holidayanon but after the &lt;now retracted&gt; goodbye post i got to know who was behind this all along #and like. thank you amber you're very cool! haven't talked in ages! can;t believe you fooled me for so long. sneaky skills? ily <333 #back to notes on this yes. #there's a few references in here to my super old stuff (3 in total i guess??) #1) couch. one of my oldest drawings of the queens is all six of them on a couch and ngl i love the vibes i keep meaning to redraw it and #then not doing so. but every time i think of their headcanoned shared living space i like to stick in a couch hehe #2) plant!!! a long long time ago incorrect-sixquotes did smth about a plant and anne. its name was bess. if you look at like. sept 2019 #it's there in the archive. i think it might have been a fake plant but yknow what? i will allow bess to Grow. as a treat. and 3) there's an #incorrect quote out there i drew once from misha (wify!!) asking about cathy parr and 'make me a sandwich' meme/vine/thingy #with her and henry the hoover. so yeah! also i like in this one she's the queen declaring his death bc like how she was the one who outlived #him. itches my brain. i like to think that in this comic jane is humming one of the songs from six- specifically HoS or six!! <3 #i am not sure what noise a vacuum cleaner makes when it dies. i'm also unsure who other than my family vacuums a couch but then again i was #unaware we owned a vacuum cleaner until a month ago! so there's that #six the musical #six the musical fanart #caption is a silly little pun courtesy of me channelling my inner seymour. i think the last comic i did was for aragon's bday and despite th #e passage of time. i am still unable to properly pace things. oh well

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

doctor who but i've never watched it

and so it begins again. the people asked for it. the people got it. i will ensure the people regret it.

i have never watched this show, or seen an edit, but i am a thorough researcher and i feel that i've got the essence of it.

this is what i have gathered. academicians worldwide take note.

Firstly, so I don't anger anyone, I accept and acknowledge that the tardis is blue and not yellow. My misinformation was from a Drarry fanfiction, and I had hitherto regarded Drarry fanfiction as the absolute truth.

There are doctors, and there are at least fifteen of them. At least two of them are David Tennant, which I can respect.

I'm not sure why the doctors are doctors, because I can find no trace of any medical procedure except for one doctor who licks things, which he learned from the previous doctor. If this is sufficient reason, I apologise for doubting their credentials.

On the other hand, if they are doctors thanks to a postdoctoral degree, this is also fine, though I have never seen anyone study anything. There is however a doctor, and there were people upset about her, but the fandom pointed out she set the tardis on fire, which is apparently a very doctor thing to do. Setting things on fire is absolutely something any research scholar would love, so again, apologies for doubting their credentials.

At least one doctor is gay. It is probably one of the David doctors, which checks out. He says someone, I think a dentist, is hot. I envy the maybe-dentist.

A t least one doctor is trans. I was unable to find them. But they exist. Oh yes, the fandom assures me they exist.

David Tennant as well as Ncuti Gatwa were fanboys, first of the show, and second of David Tennant, and thus they got into acting. Just a fun tidbit from me, since I am now the authority on this fandom.

There are time machines with which the doctors have sex by piloting them, which is questionable because the time machines are only partially sentient. I am not sure if the time machines are the tardis. But the tardis is blue, and not yellow, of that I am certain.

There was a stage play. Or maybe that was a metaphor for the production budget of the early seasons. I am not sure, but toddler David Tennant watched it. I assume no one took a 3 year old to a stage play, so through scientific deduction, it must have been a metaphor.

At some point, Death is an agony aunt and they have to spill secrets to it, or drown in a lake of human skulls. Who is this they? It's so obvious that the fandom sees no need to explain it, and neither do I. I do know it though. Of that you may remain certain.

A David doctor has a niece and she likes being his niece.

A David doctor has a best friend named Donna. He kisses her head. She supports his fruitiness. It is wholesome. It killed him when he lost her.

Slight tangent, but younger David doctor looks like Andrew Garfield. Current David in photos does give Ben Barnes energy. Any Wolfstar shippers, I believe you've found the Wolfstar kid. It is David Tennant.

A lot of people are David Tennant. A reliable Pinterest post on Doctor Who, clearly well researched, gave me the statistic that 15% of Doctor Who is David Tennant. From the amount of David Tennant that I ran across in my research, I don't understand it but I don't doubt it, either.

Speaking of Andrew Garfield, he in involved in this somehow. I am not sure how, but you cannot escape Andrew Garfield. He is even a part of fandoms he never acted in.

There is an individual named Catherine, I think she is the actress, but she could be a character. She seems to have much less knowledge about Doctor Who lore than I do. David Tennant finds it funny. Maybe he would find me funny, too.

The doctors installed some things in the tardis, from a wheelchair ramp to a jukebox. I don't know why a jukebox was needed. If I'm honest I don't know what a jukebox is. I don't know what the tardis is. But it is blue, and not yellow.

There is a French catchphrase.

Something happens in Wales. I don't know what it is, but something always seems to be happening in Wales in these fandoms, so I don't doubt it.

There is an old Doctor Who in a wheelchair, and he is happy to see a David doctor.

They go around in space, and do things. Who is this they? You and I both know the answer, so we needn't talk about it.

The show intro is "doo wee doo".

There is an alien who is not a mouse, the alien is The Meep, and uses the definite article as pronouns. David doctor is supportive of this, which is very good.

I found baby Yoda in the show, but apparently they call it a 'goblin' there, and someone doesn't like it.

There is a lot to do with time. There is a time hole, and things happen, and people die and are resurrected. There is danger, but it is fun.

They have CGI, and it is not good, which is the best thing about it. Who is they? Please stop asking me. It is rather obvious and something I definitely know.

Someone's boyfriend dies and the boyfriend is then resurrected but then gets lost with his boyfriend but then is reincarnated as a girl who would still call herself the someone's boyfriend but then she is replaced by the boyfriend but he's different now. I apologise for any errors that have crept it, but the tardis is blue and not yellow.

Someone named Martha is a doctor, and someone is very proud of her for it.

The eleventh and twelfth doctors like bow ties.

David Tennant wants to be ginger. David Tennant always gets what he wants. Who can refuse David Tennant? David Tennant is then ginger.

A David doctor gets a happy ending.

Someone yelled at Neil Gaiman about this. It was a mistake. He said that since it had already been done, he wouldn't want to give David's character a happy ending in S3, that would be a trifle unoriginal.

A lesson to be learned, Good Omens fandom, just a bit of advice from your son, do not yell at Neil Gaiman, it does not go well. Rumour has it he murdered the people who complained about him always wearing black. Of course, there is the fact that he doesn't exist, but that doesn't seem to have stopped him.

The doctors manifest in the previous doctor's clothes, which is apparently so last season. The tardis also manifests. I don't know where, or how. But it is blue, and not yellow.

I know, there was a lot of lore, so many of you thought I wouldn't be able to gather it all. But look how much research I did! I've got it better than maybe-actress-maybe-character Catherine, I'm sure :"]

Anyway, all the major plot points are covered above, so anyone who hasn't watched Doctor Who, feel free to refer to this and impress your Whovian friends with your knowledge! [not to be judgemental, but what a dreadfully Dr Seuss name, I rather like it]
