It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
I got nothing.
Thanks to everyone who voted!
I'm surprised at the popularity of the time controller/strategist and tbh, I voted for the New Paradigm version to see what was voted for in advance. I guessed it wasn't going to win any points regardless.
It will be the black supreme who gets the glory of leadership, by popular vote. Again, kind of expected; black has always looked good on these guys.
I'll reblog again when my Dalek forces are complete.
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.
found this crusty old comic does anyone know who this guy is
(been wanting to try cmyk dot styled colouring for a while now. it's pretty fun.)
Sat on the edge of the table is a pristine blade...
Salūtō!
In this episode, we explore the concept of entropy, the meta side is kinder than expected and my family curse Mrs Flood.
Next time, I'm going to have recapped the Trickster episodes of Sarah Jane Adventures because that hooded git might just rematerialise.
Thank you @umbrynnoctis and everyone who got me to 50 reblogs!
Also thanks to the Aroura webcomic fan community for liking my sh***y meme and shooting me up here after it did well on Discord. Have some pics from Horizon Forbidden West. Also the real, full moon.
I do hate kids. I hated them when I was one and I hate them now.
I'm a dedicated hater because so many of them are sociopathic and they need to learn some damn empathy. I once thought adults were too worried to be cruel, turns out growing up means you have to learn how to care.
You make some excellent points, I hate some of those things also. I just don't like unpredictable goblins in my general vicinity. Individuals are fine, but not the group.
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
The TARDIS is sick of the Doctor forming toxic relationships with companions and she is not relinquishing control of the jukebox.
obsessed with the Doctor making a promise he can’t keep, kissing Belinda’s hands, and then Toxic by Britney Spears immediately blasting over the TARDIS radio.
yes TARDIS. you have accurately assessed the dynamic there for sure
Amazing analysis.
I think the voice of the cold intrests me as a character so much because he's such a real and visceral response to their circumstances. Which is true for all the voices and each is intriguing to dig into in a different way, but this post is about cold the others will get their turn (probably)
Imagine with me, for a second, you've only just learned what it means to exist and you've already been discarded.
You've done everything you were told without question. This is your purposes and you were promised Good at the end of it and you do it and you do it well. Your guide, and authority figure you should be able to trust who is seemingly so much more experienced in this world than you even seems happy with you. You must be doing it right
Then you're abandoned. The only Good for you is an eternity of nothing. The only way you can be Good is to hurt others and to not exist at all.
Wouldn't that leave you empty? Hurt, clawing for something, anything to fill that void. You had Purpose and it turned out to mean nothing, you had a vague promise of Good and it turned out to be nothing.
You can't be Good, can't fulfil that Purpose when all of it means nothing, when you've been lied to and led to be locked in a box for the rest of time. And rather than feel that hurt, you claw it out of yourself with your own two hands, and the same implement you'd used to fulfil your Purpose.
All he wants is that Good he was promised, and to him that's the opposite of that box. It's the opposite of Nothing. It doesn't matter if it hurts him, if it hurts somebody else, if it feels good or feels bad, he just craves something that will make him feel. That will make everything worth it in the end, that will free him from the monotony and inherent stagnation of the situation he's in. What use does he have for morality in pursuit of this? What use is morality in this situation anyway? Where everything is being presented with such grand consequences, where everything is both right and wrong, where these consequences never seem to quite stick for him regardless? So he simply encourages action, in whatever form that may take.
Because it's so much more intresting if it's an active choice. Something is always better than that empty cabin surrounded by nothingness all around he's subconsciously running from. Because cold is most aware of their godly nature, and so is most aware of whats always missing no matter what they do. Who tries to fill that emptiness, first with Purpose then with Action.
For a voice that claims to feel nothing at all a lot of his drive is purely emotional. He wants to be intrested, he wants to be engaged, he wants to feel something even if it hurts. He wants to feel connection to this body the same way the other voices do, and yet criticises them for feeling in that way.
At the core of it all, he wants back what he's lost. And by his very nature he cannot have it.
