The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!
Kobold King replied to traceria's topic in General Discussion
Now I'm imagining a biker Twi with a spiked leather jacket and one arm bare, with a grinning pug tattoo on one of her shoulders. What exactly does the grunge style include, if I might ask? -
She's like... fire and ice and cuddles. She's like a hug with a steel stare in the face of chaos. She's the color of butter and cool bubblegum. Her voice is sweet and melodious, and she can sing to the turn of the universe. And... she's wonderful.

Missed Connection: You: a cute woman working at Dairy Queen, with an MLP-themed tie and a belt with pictures of Rainbow Dash soaring around on it. Me: a hairy teenager ordering a vanilla milkshake and tacos before slinking away, too nervous to talk to you. Contact me so I can tell you why Fluttershy is best pony.

We've seen both Lightwards and Nighthound conscript random bystanders into their fights, but somehow I don't think that's what you had in mind.

"They bought generic brand rocky road," the woman behind the register whimpered. "They bought the generic brand. The horror. The horror..."

I love that! Rose and Martha, and even Amy and Clara to lesser extents, seem to be so full of drama all the time. The previous two have explicitly shown crushes on him for their entire runs, Amy starts off with one, and let's just say I found some of Clara's interactions with Eleven towards the end suspicious. So to follow the "companions = girlfriends" analogy presented to us in School Reunion, Rose, Martha, Amy, and Clara are all exes, while Donna is the wacky friend he had some of his most over the top adventures with.

I saw a prompt on Reddit entitled "List 10 random facts about your setting," intended to give users an excuse to share the coolness of their worlds. Since I know there are a lot of dedicated worldbuilders around here, I thought it'd be awesome to repost the idea here and see what fascinating snippets people have to share. Here would be my ten facts: 1. Luthings consistently rate as one of the most objectively intelligent races in the galaxy, despite never developing any form of civilization or agriculture. While their wits are valuable, most shy away from bringing them aboard spaceships, as all their massive intelligence seems to matter squat when it comes to housetraining them. 2. The inhabitants of the Jewel Supernal evolved from exceptionally close-knit pack predators, and communicate by changing the colors in their skin. The exchange from thought to communication happens so quickly that lying is practically impossible--they are in practice a race of visual telepaths. 3. Skordyr, also known as "the big blue bugs," have no eyes and sense their surroundings solely with a sophisticated sonar system, and thus have an incredibly hard time understanding why humans call them "big blue bugs." 4. Native to one of the most hostile ecologies in the galaxy, hordelings travel in massive predatory swarms and will kill themselves with a sudden, full-body production of toxins if they find themselves separated from their fellows. This makes the study of living hordeling biology about as easy as milking a quatha, which is to say, not easy at all. 5. Due to the high amounts of UV radiation the planet is bathed in, the flora of Ixion has developed special waxes which coat the leaves and deflect harmful radiation. The iridescent, almost reflective coatings make the rainforests of Ixion a true wonder to behold from space, and the Planetary Naming Commission has consistently vetoed suggestions to rename the world "Disco Ball." 6. Ilyena Vchera, one of the galaxy's most frightful terrorists, consistently maintained that the severed prosthetic arm she took from the corpse of a felled mercenary possessed the reincarnated soul of Genghis Khan. She would often consort with the metal limb before launching her assaults. 7. On Shanshen, many banking and low-level bureaucratic positions are filled by tigers surgically and genetically altered to possess a humanoid form, a high degree of intelligence, and opposable thumbs. Despite the extensive modifications, the government of Shanshen maintains that these entities comprise part of a breeding program to extend the life and usefulness of the tiger species, and the tiger-folk are still classified by law as Panthera tigris. 8. Sajits, a native predator of the planet Ixion, will launch themselves through the air like projectiles, strike their prey in a patch of exposed hide, and will burrow their way into the hapless creature's flesh and devour it from the inside out. 9. Related to the previous fact, a good rule of thumb for visiting Ixion is "don't go to Ixion, at all, ever." 10. The plutonic engine, the source of energy that makes interstellar travel and countless other technologies possible, is so notoriously complicated and mired in subatomic relativistic physics that a common joke in days gone by was the claim the plutonic engine was powered by the souls of the dead. The silence of plutonic engine manufacturers, and the large guild of Supernalian plutonic crafters who call themselves the "Ghost Burners," are in this context quite alarming.

Aaaaand this marks the first time a pony made me feel depressed.

My family just watched Utopia, The Sound of Drums, and Last of the Time Lords all in a row. Season 3 finale spoilers:

I don't get it either! I put in Sam's pony code, but out came Lightwards. Must be a bug of some kind.

I just got caught eating marshmallow cream straight out of the jar while dancing and lip-syncing to "Never Gonna Give You Up." I'll let you guys fill in the context to this true statement with whatever you want.

Edgerunner would swoon so hard.

On a lighter note, how about a Halloween season comic?

If a woman and Straff Venture were the last human beings on Earth, humanity would go extinct because the woman would slit his throat in his sleep. And if there were any zombies or aliens left to watch, they would cheer.

He almost makes Timeport look like a noteworthy woman's activist.

Torchwood was super-important, for a season. That was the point of its arc. It lasted a couple of centuries, saw itself as the glorious protector of Britain, but it toppled like a house of cards the first time it faced a real alien threat. We don't hear from it again because the Battle of Canary Wharf doesn't leave anything left. The concern with Ashildur is that she won't return and she'll be left solely for the fanfic writers to return to. Personally, I'm hoping for at least a finale reappearance.

I think he's still talking to the Unicyclist, but that should get wrapped up pretty quickly. I'd be happy with a PP/Sacharrine meeting.

Alright, this my new favorite episode of season 9. Immortality and all its downsides, explored with more depth and heartwrenching sorrow than they ever prodded at with Captain Jack's story arc. The lion-man being from Delta Leonis made me roll my eyes, but that's a small matter. Is Ashildur the new Torchwood now? An entity who'll live through the centuries, keeping an eye on the Doctor and providing a constant face for him to run into? The possibilities are endless. Endless and fascinating, like Ashildur herself.

"Ugh! Jared, how long has this steak been in the fridge?" "I don't know, but don't eat it. Don't touch it. In fact, don't even look at it. You'll get salmonella of the eyes."

Weird... where I am it's 1:45. Tell me, o great and mighty Metronome, how does your incredible power reconcile different time zones?

I'm not worthy!

Helpful to you, or helpful to Reader? What are you referring to?

Eeyup.

Nobody expects the Arsenal Inquisition! Which is odd, since he sends a form letter a week in advance. Deathwish has pretty thick skin, figuratively speaking. There are a few things which will enrage him, like being called a crook, but if he were the type to stop pursuing a woman after a few insults he'd be a much less sleazy Epic.
