Poor thing, she's dying from cringe 😔

twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street

a variety of against the clock writing tasks, big finish scripts, ability to interact with actors without shouting at them and challenges where you have no budget or doctor for an episode

judged by solely by christopher eccleston

A big white tent

Christopher Eccleston, Jodie Whittaker, and Ncuti Gatwa as judges

Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins to make really bad puns, most of them comprehensible only to the anorakiest among us, for time calls, and to offer outlandish suggestions and encouragement when people get blocked

David Tennant contractually barred from going within five miles of the contestants

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SHIT.

This is not how Tumblr's staff will contact you.

Report and block any account that sends you this crap!

He does everything he's *supposed* to do, no one can find fault in his manners, but he does them like he's the progenitor of the Addams Family.

Paris society in enthralled by him because he's a recluse that looks like a vampire and just does Weird Shit where ever he goes.

He's treated more as a spectacle then as a charming guest. He's the Never Heard of Him Guy who bought a run down mansion and transformed it into a lush palace in less then a week.

He has *unlimited money* from multiple banks, and carries around 5 million dollars in his wallet.

He's dressed immaculately, but in all black, he's corpse pale. he has a lil Nubian Dude who has no tongue and an Algerian Princess as a slave in the middle of bloody Paris.

The book on the right...isn't saying as much as the book on the left. The red coloring is bold but nothing pops out. The kids have books, a backpack, and there's lockers, so yes a school. The girl has a flashlight so there's a mystery to solve. There's an alien shadow but nothing else so the context of this alien is lost. The cartoonish style isn't a dealbreaker but does have a sense of being removed from the story. It is a representation, not what is.

The left cover, however, the realistic style implies a snippet of the story itself, you are indeed seeing what's inside if you read it. The children are outside a classroom window, and its dark out, so they aren't where they should be, it's a mystery. The girl gasps as the boy looks over his shoulder, showing there might be danger. The alien teacher is dressed normal and ripping off a mask, so this alien is disguised as a human, and getting away with it, and these children have discovered the secret! What's going to happen now? The colors are basic but the bright green of the alien stands out and matches the title, all brought together by the green border.

But the most important part of how this cover is framed, and tied to what I said earlier, is just with this art alone, you the reader are already being brought into the story. The children and you are looking through the window and witnessing this reveal. The boy actually seems to be looking back at you, because you are part of this. Read this book to find out what happens next!

you are playing with an imaginary toy in an imaginary sandbox. fandom is all about having fun and letting your imagination run wild. canon is only a suggestion, not a rule. how much of canon you will follow, if any, is entirely up to you.

please stop trying to apply rules on hobbies and something that’s supposed to be your comfort place and a form of self-care.

“is it okay if I think this” “is it okay if I imagine that” it’s YOUR little world that you create for yourself and your own enjoyment. you literally do not need strangers’ opinions or permission when it comes to a hobby that doesn’t harm or affect anybody in real life. again, it’s YOUR imagination, YOUR world, YOUR creation. you have all the power and the freedom to:

headcanon whatever you want, however you want

ship whatever you want, however you want

write whatever you want, however you want

draw whatever you want, however you want

create whatever you want, however you want

reject whatever you want, however you want

as long as you’re not harming anybody in real life, how you have fun with fictional characters and your imagination is no one’s business but your own’s.
