Really I Think The Key Difference Between David Tennant And Peter Capaldi As Fans Of The Show They Were

"ohh my god you can't just-"

Am I yours to command? Does the collar 'round my neck have your name on it? I kneel to no king nor god, and I see no crown on you.

Alright, a bit of context for why two polymer clay ships are here with so many tags: The brown ship was made for talk like a pirate day, the ghost ship was made while I was home alone and listening to the PotC soundtrack and it just turned into the Flying Dutchman with demon horns and the Black Pearl's sails, because that looked best. I used fimo modelling clay, kebab skewers, used teabags and contact adhesive. Watercolours on the ghost ship sails to make them black. I seriously recommend the stardust fimo colour, I used it for every colour on the ghost ship except windows and the hatch to lower decks. The trick with the masts is to make the holes before baking and then bake them separately; before it can cool, you put them back in and let the clay shrink around the sticks. No glue needed. Sails are done after baking, this is where contact adhesive is needed. I recommend making a template for both the side and above profiles.

We really need a Moist von Lipwig to revitalize the public services in this city. Please, the public transit is in shambles. Someone get a twunk in a golden suit before we lose another bus route.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Daleks aren't all that different. They just happened to become mutants in dustbin-shaped tanks instead of replacing their bodies with prosthetics.

Either way, it's an otherwise incapable life form trapped inside a cold metal life support unit that suppresses every desire that might obstruct the will to dominate and expand, engineered to survive any environmental hazard and most ballistic weapons.

The Master seems to like cybermen in New Who. Genuinely, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't responsible for Mondas at this point.

New Who absolutely committed to the bit that if you leave a humanoid civilization long enough, they will eventually reinvent the cybermen

i love the idea that the doctor is just an eldritch abomination dressed in a vaguely humanoid suit. like this is a creature that in so many ways is supremely, deeply, Wrong, but everyone sees them as a friend, as something to be trusted, because that's the perception they want to give to the universe

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

Salūtō!

He is on the council of many arms, but still not a master.

Havelock Vetinari is literature's most dangerous tyrant.

Astute, learned, and wickedly clever, there are no ends the man will not go to in achieving his goals. There is no one he will not manipulate, no one too important to remove by a variety of means, and no one so powerful as to threaten his position.

And this applies, most importantly of all, to himself. Who watches the Watch, after all?

But Vetinari is literature's most dangerous tyrant because he is at once, yes, a tyrant, but ALSO literature's most dedicated civil servant.

He cares for the city. And ONLY for the city. It is from this position of being the man who truly only cares for Ahnk Morpork that he derives his authority. After all, who cares as much as he does?

Vimes? Perhaps, but he's a married man and a father with private concerns that should take his attention as well (even if Vetinari has to constantly remind him of that fact). He has other things to worry about, but good job that man for sticking to his lane: a sledgehammer sized scalpel for repelling threats and keeping the peace.

Carrot? Certainly, but Carrot cares more for the PEOPLE than the CITY. His mind is on the present, keeping the ones who are alive upright and breathing and getting justice for those tragically cut short. He is not concerned with the welfare of the CITY, as such. Not with the future the next generation shall inherit.

The guilds? Self-interested fools who were happy to take what Havelock gave them: stability and a piece of the pie no sane person would eat. They are content to squabble over portions of nebulous power, and all of them recognize that if Vetinari were gone... well, it doesn't much bear thinking about, really.

The nobles? Self-interested fools who are UNhappy with what Vetinari has given them: a slow walk to total obscurity and an eternal life in the back catalogues of Twerp's Peerage. Besides, they tend to only be effective when they can convince others to foolishly do their bidding, and the market for such men has seen a suspicious dearth in supply as late.

The wizards? Certainly not. Tried that before, thank you, and everyone seems much happier when gravity remains consistent and no one randomly becomes newts. Let them remain in their university, fat, happy, and most definitely NOT doing any bloody magic.

Lipwig? Maybe. In time. If he is convinced that it is in his own self-interest and things remain... interesting. But he also has Spike and the Bank and the Post Office, and a man can only juggle so much before suddenly there's a chainsaw in the front row and an awful lot of screaming. Best to keep him in practice of course, but... no. Not yet.

Vetinari uses all of them. They are tools in his box as he tunes and fixes and cares for the Disc's greatest city. The Turtle moves, but so does the Patrician, and it is a close contest on who shifts greater mountains. It is easy to imagine more than a few of the gods on Cori Celeste are keeping an eye on him and wondering what he's up to.

Except for the smart ones. They are doubtlessly taking notes.
