There are two things I want to call attention to today:

1. THE 13th DOCTOR HAS BEEN REVEALED AND OH MY GOD AM I EXCITED!

https://youtu.be/nryiwb1gcBA

A new season, a new doctor, and new adventures await!

2. SOMEONE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES!!

((Hey, soes that mean you haven't seen "The Doctor Falls" yet eithe? I'm actually only up to episode 7 myself.

I agree, it does seem a shame - hard to see how anyone could be quite as awesome as he was. But I think he got tired of it. He has done a pretty long turn, 3 series or was it 4?))

Well, I was hoping for a different actress, but this is... interesting to say the least. That 10th Doctor's TARDIS is horribly Photoshop-ped by the way.

One: I'm honestly looking forward to this new doctor, and i'll definetly tune in to see the first episode and see if it's worth coming back to the show for this doctor. X3

And Two: That video has got a point. I mean why would Sabrina have him listen to that song specifically, if there wasn't a connection between him and the song. So him possibly being Stride in a previous draft of the story would be quite interesting. X3

I didn't use to agree with you on that one, but this latest series - it's great fun, but there are just so many things that look great but don't make any sense.

Most of all, the whole blind thing was a wet cop-out. If he could wire his brain to the sonar from the sunglasses then why couldn't he just wire it to a camera? So doing that made it terribly obvious that it was just an artibtrry decision for drama's sake. If they were going to make a whole ongoing arc out of it, they should have made the effort and done it properly, it could have been really good, it WAS really good but it could have been better. Must also have been annoyion to any actual blind fans, that he was so very much not blind. Unlexss the Audio Description people showed better literary sense than Moffat and just left the sonar out! That would have made a much stronger plot of it!

Also the walking corpses. So. Many. Corpses. It got to the point where my family all scream with laughter whenever he finds a new way to bring in walking corpses. All different reasons! Never repeats himself!

I barely made it through the last series of Smith and partly through the first half of Capaldi but the plot holes.... I feel like all their money was going to special affects instead of the story line. Like it became a bad fan fiction where they were just trying to hit those "What if..." situations and fan moments. This is why I'm very excited about the new writer! I really do hope they bring back the doctor who I know.

I'm excited too, though I'll miss Peter Capaldi, he was just so crazy. Ah well, we'll always have Nottingham.

Poor Doctor though! I've been trying to avoid hearing more than I can help about the series finale since I haven't watched it yet, but I gather he goes kicking and screaming. (Obviously he too appreciates that 12 was awesome). And then this happens! Still, I dare say she'll cheer up soon enough and start making blonde jokes. :-)

Sorry! >///< It was early and I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before. Pretty much I was just seeing how Drunk Hyde's and Drunk Henry's speech patterns lose eloquence in a similar matter. The build up and the eternal monologue create a tension and tone that is humorously the opposite of what is said aloud. But again I was very tired when I wrote this and now that I'm looking at it again there really aren't a lot of parallels.

Before you say anything, I AM working on it, but in my own time and at the pace I can cope with, which is very slowly, not surprising since I've had this problem for more than 10 years. Being presented with it unexpectedly isn't something I can handle gracefully yet.

"Someone who might truly understand...?" She guessed, taking his hand and giving it a comforting squeeze. "It's alright... I'm the one who's sorry that you've never had someone to talk to before."

"All is forgiven, Henry. I feel, and had felt, fine." She assured him and held his gaze steadily. "I'm not going to fault you for saying what's on your mind."

Jekyll1886 Helen Jekyll • 20 hours ago

"Nor would I fault you for saying what's on yours," Henry assured her. "Even if...

"I suppose what I'm saying is, if we can't be honest with each other...there's no one on earth with whom we can speak freely."

He gave her hand a squeeze.

"You can always be candid with me, Helen. I'm the last person who'd ever judge you, and I can certainly keep a secret. I imagine you'd benefit just as much as I would from being able to simply...air your concerns, your thoughts and feelings and opinions, to a safe and receptive audience."

He looked about.

"We've a private cabin," he said with a relieved smile, "and each other.

"Be and say whatever you please."

Her hand shifted to the back of her neck. "The problem is, I think, is that who I am and who I want you to see are two different people."

"I would... and probably should just let everything spill... but I don't want you to worry... or think differently of me... or think you've done something wrong... or..." She grew fainter and fainter until there was nothing left to hear, simply squeezing his hand tightly.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered, the words more visible than audible.

"Yet at the same time, I don't wish to make you uncomfortable by making you feel as if you have to talk about absolutely everything, in every detail, all at once," he said, with a laugh both gentle and self-conscious.

"Hm," he pondered, then drew out his pocket watch and checked the time.

"If you'd rather stick to more typical conversation, the dining car ought to be ready to receive us by now," he offered with a ready smile, hoping to smooth the situation and soothe Helen.

Oliver found himself wandering around the halls in the dead of night, weary of Elias' grief and seeking an outlet wherever he could manage. (He didn't bother to think harder on the irony that he considered Richard's presence to be a sort of release from his stress - that owed into Elias' mind, not his. It wasn't his to think about.)

He was more than drawn to a particular person in the Society, but he found himself stalling in the doorway of the infirmary, ever-hesitant to move forward, even more so for what would come next.

He supposed that was fair enough, all things considered.

(Unbeknownst to them, everything would be alright. Perhaps it was the world finally apologizing.)

Slowly, he made his way to Richard's bedside.

Tairais  chatterghosts • 2 years ago

He was rather decidedly not lucid enough for the footsteps he heard approach from behind closed eyes. Self-aware enough to know he was still burning through a high fever, aware enough to know he didn't have enough air in his lungs to speak and stammer through explanations, aware enough to know that he was freezing only because he was burning.

Aware, but only just. The hands of the dead clawed and scratched and rended at the tethers of his fragile anchors to reality, dragged and pushed him down into the mires of feverish dreams until he choked and spluttered his way to the surface again and again, only for a handful of seconds.

Awake, but only just. The stag made of nightmares and the puppet strings of many faces- two from the castle stained in blood and glass, many more shrouded, strings tangling in an oppresive fog that surrounded all of it.

Alive, cruel and unjust. He hadn't planned, hadn't wanted it to end like that, hadn't wanted the bloodstains of another family he'd shattered with his very existence on his hands.

Artemis's name was a shuddering cry perched under his chin, and he could not speak for fear of breaking further apart. There was no room for that this time.

Like the phoenix on his back, he intended to rise from the ashes of this heartache as soon as he could escape it enough to grieve.

He opened his eyes slowly and knew they were the eyes of a haunted man, glazed and barely seeing.

He saw Oliver and smiled softly, small, and unable to help himself. A curious thing for an equally curious man.

He waited, hoping his raspy breath didn't sound as terrifying to Oliver as it did to him.

(It did, it was worse. It echoed in the empty space. And still, it was a reminder that not all was lost, and that what was torn apart could be built again from stronger foundations.)

Oliver sat in silence for a moment, quietly studying the image before him.

Ragged, shallow breathing. Shorter hair, he thought (he knew, of course, Elias' mind supplied the memories for comparison). Yet another limb lost.

His heart ached for this man, and he found it peculiar - why did he feel so terrible for someone who took so much?

He determined that it was more Elias' emotions than his.

The moment passed, and he spoke. "I...don't really think we've ever properly met." A terse beat. "Are you -- um...can you speak?"

He shook his head.

No, their introductions had been twice made over blood, merely acknowledging the other's existence. No, he could not speak.

His smile faded and the gesture became an apologetic sort of grimace, emphasized with several coughs, choked back into his aching chest where they could fester rather than interrupt conversation.

He carefully locked any sort of emotion in his mind behind rotting wooden doors and decaying floorboards. It'd be enough to proceed with a clear head for the time being, but even he didn't know how long that would hold up.

Long enough, hopefully. For what, he wasn't quite sure.

Oliver eyed him in questioning silence, but said nothing, for a time.

There were questions he wanted to ask, questions he knew he needed to ask.

Nothing about what had occurred between him, Elias, or even himself could be simplified to a simply yes or no.

"...I hope you're feeling better. Objectively."

A tentative shrug. Not worse, perhaps. He wasn't certain. Upon thinking, he realized there was, in fact, very little he had ever been certain of- too much conflicting information and unresolved trauma and lost things that hid from themselves.

He was certain his name was Ričardas. He was certain he had made many, many mistakes. The rest was uncertainty at its most basic definition. Nothing was certain, no matter how many plans were made, how many work-arounds and backups were implemented, no matter how many calculations one made- life equaled entropy, the patterns contained within meaningless.

Focus, focus.

"My name is Count Ričardas Niccolò Edoarado Princo Kęsgalos. It is a spring or summer evening, and I am in the Society." A mantra chanted in the halls of his distant thoughts, an heirloom from another time. Useful despite the pale sickness of the memories that clung to it, reaching out with hungry eyes and fanged teeth and pale skin and--

Focus, focus. He couldn't allow his thoughts to wander.

A tilt of the head, a silent 'and how are you faring?' offered in return. It was only polite, and politeness was the very least he could offer in penance.

"Artemis, oh gods-"

He shoved that thought back under the floorboards as they decomposed under his feet.

There was a flicker of something alien in his eyes then. Some sickly, slithering emotion that wanted to reach out and grab Oliver by the nape of his neck and hold him close, never to run.

It was shuttered quickly behind wooden blinds as decrepit as the rest of his masks.

In fairness, it was just as well. He was tired and slipping towards delusion with all the grace of a giraffe on ice skates. Better for Oliver to leave now before things got ugly.

His eyes fluttered shut again, exhausted from their valiant war against the desire to fall into not-so-blissful unconsciousness. There was a nod and the wave of his fingers from their position by his side, understanding and accepting. He wouldn't keep Oliver, wouldn't keep Elias from their own grief.

He had no right to keep anything so dear so close to him.

Richard heard him go with a quiet numbness that left his limbs tingling in a phantom sort of way, fleshy apparitions rising from behind closed eyes to reach out and...

And what? Comfort, yearn, hold close?

He wasn't certain. His name was Ričardas and he wasn't certain of anything except his name, his failures, and the ashes he intended to rise from.

His name was Ričardas, he was so very, very tired, and he couldn't worry about Oliver or Elias or... anyone at the moment.

(Charricthran's confusion, concern and irritation scratched at the underside of his chest like sparks of lightning and all he could do was sigh heavily.)

His name was Ričardas, and he was slipping into darkness again.

No sooner had he noticed it than it became true, and he was sinking back into a swamp filled with the decaying and the dead, gaping eyes and peeling hands reaching, pleading, crawling their way towards his body as it too vanished, strip by strip of diseased flesh.

His name was Ričardas. He was ill. That was all he was certain of.

[I'm gonna stop now... ^^']))

(( Catt started to hand the bottles up to her, then hesitated. "W-what're you gonna do?"

She didn't really have a response for that. Who's to say even if she did die for good, weather or not that would cure Hela's night terrors. Wouldn't Hela just be afraid that she'd come back again? There was no way she could help Hela overcome her fear. That, fell on Hela's shoulders.

As much as she wished otherwise.))

She didn't have a response to that. Even if she did permanently die, there was no way to guarantee that Hela wouldn't live the rest of her life fearing Catt's return. Overcoming the fear fell solely on Hela's shoulders.

(("Skin you alive, obviously, and I'd hate to stain the bottles..." Hela grabbed the neck of one of the bottles. "So be a good pet and hand. Them. Over."

"I'm leaving... Don't come after me, Hatter." She muttered and continued walking, her footsteps heavy. ))

(( "Oh." Catt relinquished the bottles and went to stand, careful to watch Hela for any aggressive actions.

Catt waited in her hiding spot until Hela's footsteps faded to silence before peaking out. [Is the coast clear?]))

Hastie Lanyon Hooray! I finally did this!~

GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!

* Mz. Hyde screamed at the crowd of monsters as she swerved the scooter in and out of traffic. She looks back in one of the rear view mirrors and sighs.*

I think we lost them!

* And that was when Anastasia and her goons parted the streets behind them in three leather, chrome, and bone motorcycles. The commander herself had the most evil grin on her face, complimented by her glowing red eyes.*

God dammit.
