Anyway, I'd Much Rather Eat

A cosplay ask blog for Adric of Alzarius, companion to the fourth and fifth Doctor. Be warned: here there will be gifs of a cosplayer shoving food in their mouth.

[paranormal-taters]

hang on i need to review my entire post history from all time and make sure i haven't said anything embarrassing

[paranormal-taters]

awful news guys

[ashmindpalace]

average first sentence of a math wikipedia page:

A snorkle basis is a particular sort of set that has some properties and is generally "nice" (in a rigorous sense) and can do many things and is very practical.

[caracalliope]

love this post. also a big fan of some midtext sentences where this kind of thing is going on:

[tanoraqui]

that's it, I can't take this anymore. I'm so fucking done. I feel like a non-Christian person in fucking December. Listen, people: the Ides of March is a FINE holiday, it's fun and nerdy, I like it - but I've seen like 6 memes for it in the last 3 days and not a Single one for its sibling nerd holiday, MARCH 14, aka 3/14, aka

PI DAY

3/14, optimized at 1:59 and 26 seconds, AM or PM (3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399... that's as far as I ever memorized).

Celebrations around the world - as is ONLY appropriate for the one and only celebration of the constant ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter!

And the radius to its area, and the radius of a sphere to its volume and surface area, AND one of the key five numbers in Euler's Identity, aka e^(iπ) + 1 = 0, aka the sexiest, simplest mathematical equation in the world.

There's going to be an HOUR-LONG LUNAR ECLIPSE this year, visible throughout East Asia, Australia, North and South America, and most of Africa and Europe!

It's even Albert Einstein's birthday!

Is Pi Day underrepresented because math is continuously viewed as the subject it's culturally acceptable to hate, where even "boring" history and "pretentious" literature can be lauded? Does every holiday need a centuries-famous play in order to get attention these days? DO PEOPLE NOT WANT AN EXCUSE TO EAT SAVORY PIES FOR DINNER (PIZZA, SHEPHERD'S PIE, ETC) AND SWEET PIES OF FRUIT AND/OR CHOCOLATE FOR DESSERT??

So help me god I'm going to start making a new Pi Day meme every time I see an Ides of March meme. I'm going to blaze them. PRETENDING TO KILL A DICTATOR IS FUN, BUT IT IS A TREAT BEST PAIRED WITH THE ELEVATION OF SCIENCE!

[wordswithkittywitch]

Tomorrow, I'm going to Pennsic for two weeks. I've got some posts queued up for while I'm gone, but I won't be able to respond to any asks or replies until the twelfth of August or thereabouts.

This bright and distinctive costume was designed for the 1972 production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, where it was worn on Dennis Price as the King of Hearts. The piece was used again in 1974 in the episode of Doctor Who entitled Robot. It is the first episode for actor Tom Baker in the role of the Fourth Doctor.  After he regenerates, he tries on several different outfits, including the one above, before finding his iconic hat and scarf.

Note: Due to the holidays, this is an older post that has been reblogged. We will be back to regularly scheduled new updates on  December 6th.

actually there were 0 time travellers on the Titanic, because the time cops have an entire outpost to safeguard that one particular point in history. every rookie spends a least a month on Titanic duty and they all complain bitterly about it since it is, essentially, the time travel equivalent of being the guard who has to stop tourists from licking the Liberty Bell.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

listen. LISTEN. there's going to be somebody, maybe several somebodies, at the travel hub who's dressed nice and knows all the right words and swears back and forth that they can sell you the credentials that will get you into the Titanic's timespace. they'll sell you IDs that pass you and your friends off as 23rd century history students or, worse, some 24th century brats who will go crying to their corporate sponsors if you ruin their paid vacation.

the IDs will look very impressive. they will not come cheap. they will not help you.

there's no checkpoint to bluff your way through and nobody who wants to hear you try. if you try to time travel anywhere near the Titanic, whether you try to board with all the other passengers or appear on the boat in the middle of the voyage, you will get slammed directly into a whitespace dragnet - a time bubble, in layman's terms.

and you will be surrounded by at least a dozen time cops, all of whom are bored and cranky and very eager to flex their newfound authority, which means they will absolutely detain you for as long as possible and insist on giving you a lecture when a slap on the wrist would do. if you talk back they might double your fine or even suspend your chronal permissions for up to a year.

and then they'll send you back to the hub in your period piece clothing that will suddenly look very stupid, and the guys who sold you the ideas will have fucked off to 1998 by then and you won't have a chance in hell of getting your money back, and what I'm saying is that it's not worth it, dude. it's just not worth it.

[winterknightdragon]

This is too specific to not be from experience

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

what are you, a time cop?

[omnomadric]

Sorry, Adric. I can believe I thought something stupid and type it in ask. Sorry about that! Also I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Still thinking about your brother?

[omnomadric]

Hey Adric, Back in July... After I watch Earthshock part 4 on twitch, I cried for 2 hours straight because of your death. It's True! And I love you so much! 😭

My what--look, if you’re from a later point in my timeline, telling me about it will... fix the event, or ensure it will happen, or make it not happen and take apart the timeline or something... at least that’s what the Doctor says. I don’t quite understand it myself. You should ask him.

[omnomadric]

I think your older Brother has a personality of Man with no Name from The Dollars Trilogy.

…I know what most of those words mean, but not in that order.

What are dollars? Why are there three of them? Who doesn’t have a name? Are you just trying to confuse me?

[wordswithkittywitch]

This is an early warning: Around the 27th of July to the 12 of August, I will be at Pennsic and unable to read any of the responses on tumblr. This is also true of my sideblogs:

@reasonsmycompanionsarescreaming

@omnomadric

@allhailthebigtalkingbird

@lovecraftyaoi

@stonemarchegoldkey 

My main blog will be running a queue, the side blogs will not. Any responses desired from me should take the form of asks, as replies are likely to be lost in another few hundred people reblogging the pockets post. Of course, this won’t be until after the twelfth in any case.

[zagreus]

imagine the earthshock credits but with the faint sound of bacon sizzling

[zagreus]

did I say bacon? I meant adric

[wordswithkittywitch]

Lolikats Mathematical Excellence OP: Sweet loli Adric dress.

[omnomadric]

Why-? Well, I suppose people do like to dress a bit like their heroes.

[omnomadric]

I met Matthew Waterhouse at ReGeneration Who and got him to sign the back of my badge! Looks like I’ve got to figure out a new life goal now.

[wordswithkittywitch]

In less than ten days, I will be going to war.

But it’s the Pennsic War, so the only danger I am in is the danger of heatstroke and panic attacks. However, this does mean I will be unable to reach the internet from the 28th of July to the 13th of August. I will be running a queue on my main blog, and any messages I receive on any of my blogs will be answered when I return.

My sideblogs:

@allhailthebigtalkingbird Will not have a queue

@omnomadric Will not have a queue

@reasonsmycompanionsarescreaming -Will have a queue

@lovecraftyaoi Will not have a queue

[aplpaca]

[randomspren]

Moley shit

[omnomadric]

[ao3tagoftheday]

The Ao3 Tag of the Day is: Touch my angle

[omnomadric]

I’ll give it another shot, but I hadn’t had that much luck so far...

[omnomadric]

How are you going to celebrate the Earth holiday of Pi Day? Are you going to celebrate it?

How could I not? It’s a silly holiday, I’ll admit, but it does celebrate an extremely important numeral and generally celebrated by making a delicious foodstuff!

The Doctor made a pie, and I’d like to say that I helped, but… well, Tegan said, screamed, really, that the best way for me to help was to leave the kitchen.
