You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

This implies that someone will actually bother! Ted couldn’t be arsed, Brian is too busy with Jane, David “has plans“, and Paul ain’t saving nobody.

So…where’s Gwen Riley?

Oh bums, I've just watched the latest repeat of The Brothers, they'll have a board meeting about whether to do and then Evil Colin Baker will sell me out somehow

Honestly, I <really> hope it's these two (and Alfred).

I was not expecting to see this bit of cuteness while reading the Sixth Doctor page of the #doctorwho 2019 Annual.

Let the truth be known! 🙌

The Bayban the Butcher boxset and Bayban Ascending tie-in. Which is odd considering Blake's 7 has a small but robust fanbase.

I’d love a volume two, but I don’t think it’s in the cards.
BIG FINISH QUESTION: What’s the most UNDERRATED Audio you’ve heard from them?

One you NEVER hear people talk about.

Hi @tme1998.bsky.social, do you have the actual copies of the media you have listed on your site or is information (such as duration, dates, and images) compiled from various sources?

I read Monte Cristo in two days based on some random recommendation by a celebrity I like, so I think I liked it haha.

If Beale Street Could Talk, but any of James Baldwin’s books count.

Sula got me hooked on Toni Morrison
what is everyone’s favourite *classic* book, and why?

(obvs i’m a tolkien girlie, but legendarium aside …)

i’m gonna go with: jane eyre, anne of green gables & sense and sensibility. i also adored franny and zooey & the count of monte cristo 🤍

Hi #booksky. On my journey to making my bluesky more book-oriented, I’m looking for people to follow who read primarily (and post about) literary fiction, poetry, or classics in general.

I’m a huge fan of Japanese novels and poetry, so I’ve dabbled in my fair share.

“On Love and Barley” by Basho is a nice haiku collection, as are “For All My Walking” from Santoka and “Essential Haiku” with Basho, Buson, and Issa (translated by Robert Hass).

At nearly 700 pages, my longest was definitely Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis. I couldn’t put this book down. It’s depressing thru and thru, but helps you see EP as the well-rounded person he was.

Shortest was Gd Help the Child by Toni Morrison. Also a good read.

AND we have double-standards towards us. Artists can give the cast and crew their art/tag them on social media, can sell it, can display it wherever.

But writers are barred from mentioning the word “fanfic” within a 200mi radius of relevant persons. Why is our art supposed to be left in the dark?
Fanfiction is truly a labor of love with rarely reward because unlike art, which is easy for people to invest in, fanfiction is harder to garner interest because someone has to invest their time to read it.

And I say this as someone who is both a fan artist and fanfic writer.

Spock was first

FF a few eons, I watched the Sixth Doctor—one of the most blatant autism representations I’ve seen. I instantly connected with him

Then I watched The Brothers. Paul Merroney has traits carbon-copied all over him

Honestly, Colin’s filmography is rife with autistic-esque characters

Peri Brown outfit tierlist. I added the cardigan-less version from Mindwarp, and her outfits from Tales of the Tardis and The Eternal Mystery.

I know many love the more formal ensembles she wears, but I’m not one of those people 🙃
