following homestuck folks here too i guess

ok story idea: the Master gets the Doc with a Tissue Compression Eliminator, but because of the events of Planet of Giants (plus some technobabble), it turns out the Doctor isn’t harmed by shrinking. Issue is, how do they get back to normal…?

exactly the sort of premise I can’t imagine Doctor Who doing outside of the 60s, at least on tv

what does it say about me that Planet of Giants is my favorite First Doctor serial? Not necessarily the one I’d rate the highest, but my favorite

I can write in 1st and 3rd just fine, mind you. But 2nd person has a quality to it that I find really easy to write for.

The issue with being so influenced by Homestuck is that I find writing in second person to be the most natural way to write, and people either dismiss 2nd person pov out of hand, or treat it as a gimmick with no utility outside specific genres or experiments

sweet bro and hella jeff jumpscare on the timeline

did Laura Drake now. First and second images are of her as Jenny’s manager. Third is her when she decides to get in the ring herself, using some enhancements which are “dubious” in terms of in-ring rules

outing the extent of my dorkiness by posting my “Jenny Everywhere as a professional wrestler” design as made in WWE 2K25. First image is entrance gear, second is in-ring gear

They’re in a very similar tradition, if you’d call it that, to Rage Comics of an earlier internet period, and there’s an argument to be made that the distinction between the two is artificial, but there’s definitely a stylistic difference

Wojak - Wikipedia

They’re called Wojaks. There’s no real source material for the concept as a whole, it just kind of spawned from 4chan, but various individual examples are based on real images. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojak

the most canon moment in all of Doctor Who

hearing Bill Baggs’ voice seeping into my ear as I attempt to overlook him to enjoy the first few rushed out episodes of Dionus’s War from before Baggs grew mad with power and turned into the evil cackling supervillain of Faction Paradox fans everywhere

Obviously, Doctor Who isn’t a series that embraces with open arms the violence of super heroics, and it’s a difficult genre to subvert (as Doctor Who is wont to do) without going dark, but still, it’s interesting to note.

For that matter, I’m kind of surprised how little it’s addressed that actual honest-to-god superheroes exist in the DWU. The Ghost springs to mind, of course. I’d be shocked if a couple other ones haven’t been introduced in obscure short stories or something

On the matter of sources, here’s a letter signed by 50+ UN member states, largely Muslim-majority, sent to the UN Human Rights Commission in support of China’s deradicalization efforts documents.un.org/doc/undoc/ge...

When they can’t read or speak Chinese and don’t have the skills to hold jobs, yeah? Why wouldn’t it be? Learning to be able to live in a given society is the whole point of education in the first place, no?

He didn’t, but he’s where the narrative originated, and it’s his claims which are consistently cited by every media source.

It is those schools which are labeled as “camps.” Victims of America’s “War on Terror” flee to China, and are put in vocational schools. Western media labels these schools as “camps” to fear monger.

Now, I will say, individual stories of bad experiences are likely true. But the truth of the situation is that China had a refugee crisis due to events in the Middle East, and some of those refugees wound up getting involved in terrorist groups. China has opened schools to educate & integrate them

Zenz is an ally to the CIA. Amnesty International has consistently taken the side of the CIA, even when the CIA is doing morally repugnant things, including assisting in manufacturing consent for US violence in the Middle East, so I wouldn’t consider them an unbiased source by any means.

Sorry, I mean UN, not EU.

As for where I get my information, I’d ask where Amnesty get theirs. Pretty much all information regarding “Uyghur genocide” comes from one guy named Adrien Zenz, a German Christian fundamentalist who considers it his mission from God to “destroy China”

I mean, even according to EU officials, the Uyghurs are doing fine. Chinese people aren’t banned from the internet, it’s pretty easy to ask the average Chinese citizen what’s going on there and get an honest answer.

It’s unclear whether a society that lacks private property would even HAVE the concept of “biological sex,” and I contend that it would likely note the differences in peoples’ bodies in a vastly different (and likely far less emphasized) way
