Inspired by a fanfic where Orion had to haul Meg when they first met(? Also it's a Archivist!Megatron AU.

sorry you got dem inescapable corporeal form blues

Moffat sits in that weird place where he's able to write some absolutely lovely stuff but then just...completely miss the point. Like the last episode of 12 the advice to his future self is something like "always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind" which is like...a great line and sentiment. But contradicts so fucking much about how he wrote the past few seasons and how he writes in general??? It's so baffling how not self-aware he often is

I just got to that episode and cried the predictable buckets. I so agree with you. The man has no long term ability whatsoever. He knows how to apply soaring music and to tug at your heartstrings like no one’s business, but it has no staying power. Nobody is going to point to a single moment during his tenure as showrunner as something that *excels*, but we all know Blink is transcendent. He was great at the smallscale, working under supervision. He S U C K E D as the showrunner. He has absolutely no longterm vision. 

(sidebar: I was actually legit APALLED that he made his bff Gatiss into the heroic WW1 commander of his final episode. Crawl out of your own ass aaaaanytime, Moffat. Just....anytime.)

Yikes, there’s a reason I stopped watching halfway through ten... brief smatterings of eleven also failed to impress me

I stopped watching 11 when he took a trio of black men as slaves. Like....if no one involved in the production of this show flagged this as a problem, I don’t want to be here. The hardcore sexism lightens up a little in series 9, but it’s by no means gone. Moffat is one of those dudes who thinks he can USE sexism because he’s ~above it. In short: he’s a giant douche canoe.

I bailed on Capaldi 2 episodes in and after everything I've heard, I'm glad I did.

yeah the fandom is batshit and the show itself has flaws but it also has a lot of really lovely character moments some COOL AF space battle shit and some really hilarious comedy bits

YEAH UH THE FANDOM SOUNDS LIKE A LOT but honestly i don’t pay more than half an eye of attention to most of the fandoms i’m in other than writing fic for them so that’s fine.

Thank you for answering my call o(-<

The Miragen teams are different clans who are, on the surface, allied with one another, and beneath the surface, are largely united under Akashi’s command.

Kiyoshi’s clan (which includes the other uncrowned) is technically allied with the Teiko alliance, but they have an uneasy relationship that is peppered with the occasional skirmish and territorial disputes. On top of that, there’s considerable tension between the Uncrowned Generals (the elites of Kiyoshi’s clan, whose name I’m still trying to decide), and the Generation of Miracles (the elites of Teikou). Kiyoshi’s boss is a harsh leader with a slipping influence, and there has been some talk that the Generals may do the unthinkable and switch loyalties. Kiyoshi is tired and wants no part in it, if it’s true. 

LOL Akashi actually doesn’t get his hands very dirty unless he’s answering a direct challenge to his leadership. In that case, duels take place using your fists, knives, or sword. Although I’m sure if Akashi only had a pair of scissors, he could be very resourceful with them. 

Ooooh, wow, these are good! Okay, so…this got kind of long, and also kind of dark, so it’s under a cut.

Hail, Old Comrade
