#pumpkin muffins! #Tim Hortons only sells them during the month of October #and last year I was horribly sick most of October and only got to eat one muffin the whole month #plus Halloween is like the one mainstream holiday that I am 100% comfortable with #October: the most wonderful time of the year #(unless you’re horribly sick) #P.S. fun fact: in Australian ‘pumpkin’ means ‘squash’ #the things you learn reading Australian cooking blogs #’butternut pumpkin? wait what?’ #the more you know #tag rambles

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog.

 

I feel like I’ve been preparing for this image all my life.

The internet is over, everyone can go home

It’s just as beautiful as I always imagined.

My life is complete.

So that’s what we’ve been writing about this whole time, eh?

SEVEN HOURS AT TEH COMPUTER FOR THIS MONSTER.

” Um. Hm. You… you told me once that you weren’t a hero. Um. There were times that I didn’t even think you were human. But let me tell you this, you were the best man and the most human…. human being that I have ever known, and no one will ever convince me that you told me a lie. And so… there. I was so alone and I owe you so much. Please, there’s just one more thing. One more thing. One miracle, Sherlock, for me. Don’t be… dead. Would you do that, just for me? Just stop it, stop this…”

ALL IN GALLIFREYAN.

This suggests that there is, somewhere, an English to Gallifreyan translation guide.

Which makes me love this fandom.

AND WANT IT

There’s multiple versions of Gallifreyan, invented by various fans. I had two bookmarks on the subject, but one of the sites is gone. This link (a tag on someone’s Tumblr) still works.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet—a school hallway in the evening, an unlit office on a weekend, vacant fairgrounds—an emotional afterimage that makes it seem not just empty but hyper-empty, with a total population in the negative, who are so conspicuously absent they glow like neon signs.

#the more you know #(though as a homeschooler who often went to groups that held meetings at the elementary school when it wasn’t in session) #(in my experience the proper and natural state of a school is deserted) #(sometimes I’d arrive a little early and people wouldn’t have finished leaving yet and the halls were still busy) #(and *that* was wrong)

Say it out loud, you’ll get it.

blue: So this piece you’re writing.
me: Mm.
blue: It’s a series of vignettes?
me: Mmhmm.
blue: Like, a lot of vignettes?
me: Yup.
blue: Would. Would you call it an entire vineyard of vignettes.
me: …
blue: :D?
me: …
blue: What!
me: …
me: I’m putting this on the internet.

*goes to Wiktionary*

*listens to pronunciation example*

Oh god I’ve been pronouncing “vignette” wrong all this time why did nobody tell me.

#what if the doctor is saying a whole bunch of different words in gallifreyan here #and they’re all just translating into physics because our puny human language doesn’t pick up on the subtleties #what if that’s what he really means when he says he hopes they’re getting all that down #secrets of time and space courtesy of the last of the time lords #what if

That is INCREDIBLE.  I really want this to be truuuuue.

Deconstructed Pocket Watches Look Like Gallifreyan

cross-sectionofthewhovian: Holy——. Suddenly Circlular Gallifreyan makes so much more sense!

something-doctor-who-related: I was thinking exactly the same!

meoplelikepeople: Gallifreeeeeeeeey

unicorn-fish: omg

pretendprism: woahhhhhhhhh

grrrbarrowman: I bet there’s a Time Lord in some other dimension looking at this picture and laughing hysterically at the dirty limerick it spells out

drivemytardis: Oh, I see, now it makes sense… Time lords… Aaaaaaaaw yeah.
