A GW2 Roleplayer's Portal to Self-Inflicted Mayhem. NSFW.

Every Doctor Who Story from An Unearthly Child (1963) - World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls (2017).

I figured that now we’ve reached the end of Series Ten, I should update this to include all of this year’s stories!

pretty proud of this one

humans: we’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast

vsa: last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast

humans: hahaha yeah

humans: it did tho

vsa: IT EXPLODED

Impulsive, passionate to a fault, the social structures they build to try and regulate this hotheadedness ironically creates even greater levels of sheer bull-headedness. Even their “cooler” heads take action in months or weeks.

vulcan science academy: get what

klingons: you vulcans are a bunch of stuffy prisses but you’re also tougher, stronger, and smarter than humans in every single way

klingons: why do you let them run your federation

vulcan science academy: look

vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores they don’t do experiments on one and save the other for if the first one blows up

vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores, they will ask for a third one, immediately plug all three into each other, punch a hole into an alternate universe where humans subscribe to an even more destructive ideological system, fight everyone in it because they’re offended by that, steal their warp cores, plug those together, punch their way back here, then try to turn a nearby sun into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn’t want to waste a trip. 

vulcan science academy: they did that last week. we have the write-up right here. it’s getting published in about six hundred scientific journals across two hundred different disciplines because of how many established theories their ridiculous little expedition has just called into question. also, they did turn that sun into a torus, and no one actually knows how. 

vulcan science academy: this is why we let them do whatever the hell they want. 

“but why” said the one Vulcan in the room.

“because that would fucking rule” said the humans, high-fiving each other and slamming cans of 24th-century Red Bull.

Like: “Guys, we totally wouldn’t do that!” But this always fails to get much traction, because the authors can always say: “You totally did.”

“That was ONE TIME.” 

There’s that movie where humans invented vaccines by just testing them on people. Or the one about those two humans who invented powered flight by crashing a bunch of prototypes. Or the one about electricity. 

And human historians go, “Oh, uh, this is historically accurate, but also kind of boring.” To which the producers respond: “How is doing THIS CRAZY THING boring????????”

“what is the word ‘fuck’ for,” the innocent young vulcans want to know. “surely there are more logical intensity modifiers.”

“yeah, you’d think so,” say the weary, jaded vulcan professors. “you’d really fucking think so.”

The Borg can adapt to the brilliant millitary strategies of the Romulan Star Empire, the Klingons and even the cold logical intellectual prowess of the vulcans

We know that Federation computers are stupid, stupid powerful. The holodecks are the most obvious example, but it seems dumb that humanity would build the most powerful computers known and use them only for entertainment, so one would assume that the ships run on similarly powerful computers.

We also know that Federation computers get really wonky when left on for too long. Between the myriad ‘the holodeck has developed personality again’ episodes to the entirety of the Doctor’s plot arc, we see that the only thing necessary to creating a living sentience is for someone to leave a computer running for too long.

We also know that the Federation is embarrassingly bad at handling artificial life. Between trying to ‘requisition’ Data, and again basically the Doctor’s entire plot arc, we see the ostensibly enlightened and liberal Federation get downright luddite-like in their treatment of anything sentient that doesn’t come from ‘natural’ sources.

Federation ships are Massive computers; you can’t run something as massive as a Galaxy Class ship without automation. These computers are at least on the same level of complexity as a holodeck, but they never get powered down. You can’t, not unless you want to cripple your ship in the middle of space. So we have a bunch of ship sized computers, running 24/7, with advanced weak AI to handle voice commands and all the complex bullshit a federation officer will ask her ship to do on any given Tuesday. And we’ve already seen how long it takes for a holodeck program to go fuzzy.

Ask memes.

This a bigger issue than people think. I know people make tons of them, all the way down to RP prompts, questions, drabbles, all that jazz. But this sort of thing needs to be recognized and needs to be addressed:

If someone is reblogging millions upon a millions of ask memes, you should do that person a favor and try to at least send a couple or so asks.

The reason why is because many people on this site want to feel wanted. They want to feel loved and they like the attention, but perhaps it’s just the way I feel about it. Either way, it goes a long way if you send someone an ask. I’ve seen many of my favorite RP blogs get close to shutting down because no one took the time to send at least one ask to that person and it’s sad. People reblog literally PAGES of ask memes and no one sends them anything.
