[intuitive-revelations]

hihi!! I really loved the tweetalongs moffat did during covid but I can’t find the backed up tweets anymore? and I saw this post (/post/701239631607414784/intuitive-revelations-woke-up-to-find-out-twitter) where u said u had them!! could you please post them or share them with me? thanks <3

Hey!

(I got two asks about this in quick succession, so I assume they might both be from you. I can't answer the other one for some reason, so if it is someone else hopefully they see this.)

So yeah, I've got them backed up. I've spent enough time trying to find or recover bits of old DW media from defunct official websites etc. that I decided to be proactive when it came to the tweetalongs!

My hope eventually, when I get the time, is to turn the tweetalongs into actual 'commentary' videos that people could sync up with the episodes and get the posts from all the cast and crew in real time, a bit like the x-ray thing on amazon - to kinda try and recreate that experience. However, since I haven't had the chance to do that yet, here's Moffat's commentaries.

Around the time the tweetalongs happened, I recorded the Eleventh Hour and Day of the Doctor ones directly, taking screencaps, so I've got those all laid out in reverse order already. The Eleventh Hour also contains Matt, Karen, Arthur and director Adam Smith (there's also a couple tweets from other people I followed on my dash, but just ignore those):

As Twitter / X has slowly gotten more and more unusable and people have gradually deleted their accounts, I tried to find all the guests for each tweetalong and export their tweets from the appropriate timespans to spreadsheets via an online tool (which includes timestamps etc. which will be useful for making those videos eventually).

Here's all those that Moffat made on his temp account. I think he did reopen it for a bit afterwards at some point to promote The Unfriend, presumably at the prodding of his agent, but I think I've got all the tweetalong stuff. It also includes some replies, reblogs and things, and is unformatted, so might be a bit harder to read through, but I'll share it anyway.

i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.

professors who have only interacted with other academics for years: “what do you MEAN you don’t know multi-variable calculus yet??”

professors with small kids: “thank you for not putting the lab equipment in your mouths when I turn my back”

Bringing this back to share that one time I slept through part of a zoom meeting with my PhD advisor (who has a toddler) and he told me it was fine, that just meant I was a good sleeper

Professors who work with graduate students: if you finish the multivariate calculus work this week you can put one (1) piece of lab equipment in your mouth

Once had a professor whose previous career was giving educational zoo tours to children, so he’d say stuff like, “now let’s meet our friend, acidic keratin!”
