That Fucking Tracks.

Don't mind me, I'm just slowly and methodically making my way through the Sidney Freedman tags. Move along.

For the love of GOD vote for Claude.

Claude Rains (The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Invisible Man, Mr. Skeffington, Now Voyager)—Is Claude maybe a bit too classy to be considered scrungly? Maybe, but I don't care! He's Claude Rains and he deserves to win at something. :) While he could be very smooth and suave (and sometimes deliciously evil), every once in a while, he could be pretty adorable, too! And the movie Now Voyager gave him the line: "roasting weenies??" And there are so many moments in Phantom of the Opera or Mr. Skeffington where I just want to give him a hug!

Sid James (Hell Drivers, Carry On Camping, Carry On Doctor, Three Hats for Lisa, Bless This House)—Sid James has the kind of scrungly face that looks like a guy has spent his youth boxing but now breeds canaries. Yes, he became legendary as the kind of bloke who is always happy to eye up the ladies and pull a fast one on the system, but he could also do terrifying gangster and comforting dad who might grumble a bit but will always be there for his family.

This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Sid James:

Bro. Today's the last day, right?

So... JSA Week prompt: Enemies to Lovers/Friends.

I was going to draw the Shade and Jay Garrick with a background of the times they fought.

All I got done was this:

This is my first time doing a prompt thing like this and I have obviously not prepared as much as I should have. Better luck next time I guess.

Ok so I've never advertised that I have an ao3 account on which I post stuff because I'm very self conscious I guess, but I just finished this short fiction about Ruby. I, like a lot of people, was not happy with the reveal of who Ruby's mom was.

I could pull up so many small details that made me theorize that it was Kronos, the cronovore from the 3rd Doctor's story "The Time Monster". But since we didn't get that I thought I'd write this. If your interested, why not give it a read?

Um...I have a few thoughts about this episode. It's not entirely negative because I think I liked it... but still.

The big thing is obviously the bi-generation and the splitting of the TARDIS. We have seen that the TARDIS is a living being with a personality. It even got a human form and confessed it's feelings. So what does splitting it do?

Also, New Who has made it a point to make REgeneration a big moment for all of us. We are saying goodbye to a face for good. If they ever reappear, it's at an earlier point in that Doctor's history. We will not get any REAL new stories from the timelines perspective. A favorite doesn't return return unless visiting them in the Doctor's mind.

Does Bigeneration cheapen our emotional connection to a certain Doctor? A Doctor that we've tuned in to watch each week for several seasons and then cried as they come to terms with being replaced. The monolouges and goodbyes that were beautifully written to comfort both the Doctor, any companions, and us the audience?

And really, that's all I'm worried about. How does this change how we view the most beautiful moments of Doctor Who, old and new? The grief and acceptance we go through each time with a new companion or a new Doctor. The loss and beginning anew? I love checking in on companions from different runs.

But if one Doctor is settling down and one is still going on through the stars, which one gets the happy ending? Because leaving 10/14 to live his life and never checking in on him again, he's just like a companion or the severed hand Doctor in a lot of ways. And the now "main" Doctor? Is he not still going to struggle with the same things?

Lastly as just a side note, did the Toymaster purposely missgender Missy? Because she was dying at the end of Capaldi's run and that looked like a woman's hand grabbing the gold tooth that he had trapped "The Master" in after he had won the game. I'm of the belief that 13th's Master takes place before Missy because of the character development we saw throughout 12's run ending with her "dying" alone instead of betraying the Doctor.

I just started the original All Creatures Great and Small series. I think it's really great and charming so far, but I'm only on episode 2 and they've already killed a horse and a dog. Idk if I have the mental fortitude if it's going to be an every episode thing.

Throwback to when I wrote, like, one chapter of a Doom Patrol/Stargirl fanfic before the finale episode for DP pissed me off so much I abondoned it.

Just found the original drafts so I might play around with it again. Idk.

I was looking up Susan's family motto (for reasons), and I had forgotten just how many puns are in the dog Latin stuff Terry Pratchett does. Things like:

Quod Subigo Farinum as the family motto for the baker, translating to "Because I knead the dough."

Almost all of the guilds except for the MOST prominent ones have a joke as a motto. Reading the Plummer's Guild one was really funny.

One of Albert's line in Mort being Sodomy Non Sapians = Buggered if I know.

Like, I went looking for one thing and ended up reading the entire wiki article for Discworld's Latatian.

Idk, it's almost like he was a professional, knowledgeable, and talented comedic writer or something.

I was there. You can't silence me with propaganda.
