Quick question for the Dr Who fandom here, but I need to give context.
I'm making 3 polymer clay daleks (2005 design). 1 is almost done, another will also be a drone. But I'd like a Supreme to boss them around and I'm stuck on colours.
So I'm asking Tumblr to know: which Dalek Supreme / other leader rank has the best colours?
Classic black:
Revival red:
Purple time controller:
New Paradigm white:
Please note that this is likely just the colours I will use. The time controller would likely get rings, the red version would probably get the butresses and both all versions would be rocking the modern eyes and standard lights but besides that, I'll just be adding colours to the 2005 drone.
The mercenary badges, maybe? I know they're really easy to get; they're my only cosmetic so far, but I don't see them used much.
Or just the first one you see that makes you smile. Whatever works for you.
I shoukd try making a tf2 cosmetic with cardboard, but I don't know which one so I'll be looking
Edit: I've given up looking, feel free to give me an idea
(I'm dizzy. If I think too long about it I start bawling.)
This is one of the best takedowns of war, millenia-spanning cross-cultural conflicts, the weaponization of religion for authoritarian or jingoistic purposes, historical revisionism, cultural isolation, the entire concept of intercultural historical grudge-keeping, war.... that I think I've ever seen.
"... and fools made fools of us all as we fought to stop a war, until the disgusted sky washed us away. And yet we say this. Here in this cave at the end of the world peace is made between dwarf and troll and we will march beyond the hand of Death together. For the enemy is not Troll, nor is it Dwarf, but it is the baleful, the malign, the cowardly, the vessels of hatred, those who do a bad thing and call it good."
The enemy is not people. The enemy is in the heads, it is the thing feared yet venerated as it worms its way into minds, seeths and spits and whispers evil into the hearts of men, snarls its hatred until people become things, and things become violent. It warps the light around reality until all that is left is a funhouse mirror filled with monsters, and its symbols, glowing red with wrath and blood- The enemy is the Summoning Dark, and it is always near, just one speech of hate, one call to arms away.
And because that is very heavy, here some sweet little things from this book that I absolutely adored:
- Colon's and Nobby's conversation about Tawnee and her profession. It is both hilarious, and unironically the most wholesome and least offensive conversation about sex work I have read maybe ever.
- Vimes, just, as a whole. Because I love how Vimes, with his unhealthy, workaholic, probably insomniac life, is so dogged about being a good dad. We all have seen the "And if you did it for a good reason, you'd do it for a bad one" quote, and it's very good, but I feel that I have to remind you that in the original context, the "it" he is referring to is missing bedtime storytime with his son. 'nuff said.
- Speaking of bedtime storytime, I adored the scene where they're on an evening walk to the inn at Koom Valley and it's storytime and the entire Watch squad joins in on the animal noises. I am legit tearing up thinking about it, it is so adorable.
- Everything about the girls' night out. Hilarity of the century.
- The fact that "casual DID rep" is an accurate description of one scene in this book.
- Brick, somehow? Like, I did not expect to get the not-very-bright-kid-becomes-incompetent-goon pipeline presented to me with actual heart and a heartfelt acknowledgement and effort to get him clean from his drug use, and give him a future? Like, Brick's subplot is so touching?? And how dare it?? I wasn't ready for this, what the hell!

I’m just going to leave this here
What if there's no getting better, and it just keeps on repeating with diminishing glorification until things get so bad Death shows up because all the other consequences are fed up with the main character?
"depiction is not automatically glorification" can and should coexist with "some depiction is glorification and you need to be able to tell the difference"
So you know the rumour about a Margot Robbie PotC film...p
she's everything
