There's a lot more. "Oh damn, oh damn oh damn oh damn," in the whole thing, but yes.
The doctor recognizing the master is like Dr. doofenshmirtz recognizing Perry the platypus. Idk how to explain it but it’s the same deal. Y’all know what I mean.
This depends on if the person is encouraging it positively or negatively IMO.
Language is supposed to enable communication so introducing a language barrier with friends seems like a way to distance yourself from them.
I can see this easily going wrong, but it could be a great opportunity to share a passion.
she's a hero. she should dump her west brit "friends" and become friends with me instead
something interesting is happening on the nexus this week
re-upload of my fallout 2 edit, including a watermark since this video has been reposted without credit to me. its obnoxious but unfortunately this is what has to happen
I have a joke about math but im 2² to say it
Forgot to mention, it was £2 apiece and Return of the King (map and last image showed up a week before. Didn't buy them myself due to lack of storage.
In 2023, I had to price these really cool Lord of the Rings DVD sets (I think it was the extended editions).
I wish we'd get this kind of beautiful art on more packaging, even though I know this to be some kind of premium version.
really i think the key difference between david tennant and peter capaldi as fans of the show they were in is that david tennant's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with elisabeth sladen in school reunion with all the joy of someone who was in love with the show as a kid in the 70s. you know, like a normal person. (by doctor who standards.) whereas peter capaldi's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with creepy mummy-like cybermen based off a partly-lost william hartnell serial which is deeply deeply disturbing on a psychological level with all the glee of someone who was disturbed on a psychological level by the show as a kid in the 60s
women who use tiktok i am talking to you directly. yall gotta stop engaging in this girl math women shouldn’t vote shit. it’s not a silly ironic joke men mean that and they are making fun of you. listen to me. call them out when you see it happen. show the kids who use that bastard app that it’s not okay to make jokes like that. stop being part of the problem and stand up for yourselves

It's such a shame too, the original version was a human-like group who had to change themselves into these cybernetic monsters just to survive. They wanted to convert humans as a mercy.
I feel like there's something valuable in the Moffat era in how often they independently crop up, and in the classic era for being able to see just a little bit of the actor.
Maybe there could be some kind of transhumanist story, where people actively become cybermen in an experiment to circumvent the need to terraform a planet so they can go out and collect resources on a struggling colony. It could have been going well for a while. These cybermen could have names, like the original, and eventually people decide to undergo conversion to reduce the resources needed to get by. Or the cybermen, seeing their people continuing to suffer, decide to remove that suffering by force.
IDK, just thought it'd be an interesting story idea.
the concept of the cybermen is magnificent. it's creepy. it's disturbing. it's the terror of undeath and the horror of coming back wrong. it's the endless march of capitalism, it's the commodification of disability aids, it's the ceaseless machinations of time. it's monopolisation. it's euthanasia as a substitute for healthcare. it's a lot of things. unfortunately many cyberman appearances can be boiled down to "scary army of robots invades" and frankly if i wanted to watch fiction about a robot and not the cybermen i'd just put on, well, robot.
Trust me, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think it would be easy
Ha! I knew it! Your words are no match for the pure strength of our hearts, bound together as one.
how the fuck were adam and eve supposed to know who was more trustworthy out of a disembodeyed voice and a talking snake? why WOULDN'T you eat the apple?
was suddenly moved to draw a toony sort of character design .. but this is a bit too close to 2013 tumblr sexyman for my own comfort
I’m writing scenes which are good, and I don’t know where they are going to fit in the book. But it’s what I call ‘The Valley Filled With Clouds’ technique. You’re at the edge of the valley, and there is a church steeple, and there is a tree, and there is a rocky outcrop, but the rest of it is mist. But you know that because they exist, there must be ways of getting from one to the other that you cannot see. And so you start the journey. And when I write, I write a draft entirely for myself, just to walk the valley and find out what the book is going to be all about.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Thank you to everyone who got me to 250 likes!
I can hardly believe that a combination of low effort shitposts and mid quality art could get me so far.
Then again, that's the power of...

I love lego horizon’s silly outfits. We should add them to the original games so we can absolutely ruin serious plot moments like this 🍌

That probably explains why I write magic the way I do.
Honestly, the fact that terry Pratchett has experience around nuclear power makes so much sense once you realize what magic is standing as a metaphor for in the discworld. Like, look at this fucking quote from going postal:
"That's why [magic] was left to wizards, who knew how to handle it safely. Not doing any magic at all was the chief task of wizards—not "not doing magic" because they couldn't do magic, but not doing magic when they could do and didn't. Any ignorant fool can fail to turn someone else into a frog. You have to be clever to refrain from doing it when you knew how easy it was. There were places in the world commemorating those times when wizards hadn't been quite as clever as that, and on many of them the grass would never grow again."
Like... It feels incredibly obvious what he's talking about once you know the context.
I'd say Rizzo and Gonzo are Nobby and Fred Colon respectively; you can't be the night/city watch without Nobby and Colon and you can't have a muppet adaptation without Rizzo and Gonzo.
It wouldn't work.
Muppets "Guards, Guards!" adaptation with Kermit as Vimes and Miss Piggy as Sybil. I'm right.
I hate it when people say hear me out about an objectively hot woman.
You're on a path in the woods...
