I will be very disappointed if the Doctor doesn’t comment about your comment. I’m honestly kinda surprised he hasn’t yet. (cue me being ninjaed in the time it took me to write this).
“Time! Is marching on.
And time, is still marching on.
This day will soon be at an end and now it’s even sooner.
And now it’s even sooner.
And now it’s sooner still. “
I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath,
Before I start off again driven on,
Without a moment to spend to pass an evening with a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thin I’d like to pause,
No matter what I pretend, like some pilgrim who learns to transcend,
Learns to live as if each step was the end
Time stands still
I’m not looking back but I want to look around me now
Time stands still
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away
Time stands still…
Well maybe if you got around to awakening your Stand like your mother’s been pushing you to, maybe you wouldn’t be having a problem with time moving, Walky.
I really don’t like this game Dorothy is playing. I know she is fighting her own feelings of inadequacy, and is trying to hold herself to a higher standard, but she’s being really …cold… to someone she supposedly loves. You don’t push those people away, they are there to give you strength when you need it.
Remember the part where everyone in this strip is a teenager, and thus makes terrible decisions. It’s okay a good portion of the comment section seems to forget about that part of life where you need to fuck up
Naruto, Harry Potter.. although I’ve read a lot there already… I’ve only read the one Steven Universe fanfic so far…
I ended up reading about climate change and universe expansion on Reddit. Kinda depressing :p it did pass the time a bit but isn’t the sort of thing to help me sleep.

Hmmm. Anything under comedy or parody on FFN should be ridiculous as hell.
Inahc
Possibly, but browsing that site has proved.. problematic.. (eg. It often makes Firefox ask to record both audio and video) and I don’t always have the patience to wade through all the painfully bad fanfics. Or the unfinished, abandoned ones.
That was a setup for self-advertisment if I ever heard it 🙂
Here is one of my more silly Harry Potter fics, about the twins doing a STELLAR job helping their baby sister coming to terms with the trials and tribulations of growing up https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2838797/1/Bat-Bogey-Hex
I’m usually not into reading fanfics (might be, because I basically spent my teenage years with a friend together in a big meshed up fanfic we created in a messenger while writing. Thus our mutual love for writing was born… but I’m drifting of.)
Loved the first one with the twins (also still want to read the others), it made me snort a lot (I’m currently pretty sick, so I needed something like this – even though it was intended for inahc) 😀
Coma
(snort as in “that’s funny”, because I can’t really laugh right now. Just wanted to clarify, ’cause on a second thought, it sounds pretty strange saying “it made me snort”)
I’m a big fan of fanfic as writing training, so awesome work by you and your friend.
CoMa
Aw- thanks, I’ll be sure to read it (and the other ones as well)!
And thanks – it did lead into me and my friend studying languages and myself producing a bunch of pretty long – and sometimes reaaally bad ones, ’cause I knew nothing of thoroughly planning a story, I simply wrote (until university kinda punched creativity out of me, but I’m slowly starting again with my ideas and motivation) so thanks 🙂
Might be too late for “this evening” but if you haven’t tried the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, do go check them out. Those books literally saved my life and kept me from suicide when my mum died. <333

eh, IMO, she’s being equally awful to everyone, including herself.
but she’s probably going to have to have her breakdown before she recognizes that.

See Walky, this is why ya gotta learn how to control time.

Aha! So THAT’S how you get Walky’s words and thoughts to be elevated!
….. you de-elevate.
….. huh. Is it really an elevator of the trip is a downer?

That’s really profound. I’m glad Walky has mechanisms to deal with him feeling like shit.

Speaking of which, I could use a distraction tonight. Anyone got some suggestions for ridiculous fanfics or other easy reading?
