I don’t know much about Jamie McCrimmon since I’m largely unfamiliar with Troughton’s era, but from what I’ve seen/remember there does seem to be a lot of physical clinging with he and the Doctor
A Lot
Oh my god, it’s my cling quilt
One of my favourite Garak moments, actually I love this entire episode its hilarious.
The colors are different than the ones I painted because I tried some silly nonsense in Photoshop, and both sets of colors are pretty cool, actually! Some punk-rock-y flavored Doctor and Master for Gallifrey One!
This one is also coming back to Gallifrey this year!
I just don’t understand how this happened. But here’s a picture of a lemon from my backyard

And finally, dear listeners, a reminder; several concerned citizens have brought to the city’s attention an irregularity surrounding this summer’s citrus harvest. City council would like to remind all enterprising fruit pickers to exercise reasonable caution when acquiring these fruits. Grasp the fruit firmly around its circumference, pull slowly but steadily to avoid damaging the tree, and under no circumstances heed its demands of you. Do not acknowledge or obey the depraved whisperings of the demon fruit.
And now: The Weather.
This kind of looks like a Buddha’s hand to me
they’re a type of Citron, a citrus closely related to lemons. I wonder if whatever causes that twistedness in Buddha’s hands is present but dormant/recessive in other citruses?
@botanyshitposts do you know about this?
a lot of people having been messaging me about this, and honestly i had no idea that Buddha’s hands existed and it totally seems likely to me??? like honestly that seems like a really plausible explanation, especially because when we look at the demon fruit, the twisty ‘arms’ are going off in all different directions when the only place i can see a twisty arm happening on a lemon is on the top. like if the fruit is developing from the original growth point into a body then why are the offshoots developing the opposite way, from a body into a twisty thing? when in a Buddha’s hand, it totally makes sense because the twisty things are growing outward anyway.
im no pomologist but the similarities in the growth patterns really do reflect in The Demon Fruit.
WAIT I KNOW THIS ONE!
The short version is that Citrus is a slutty, slutty genus of plants that can knock up pretty much any other member of the genus and uh… it’s mots recent relative as of 7 million years ago, becuase why not. Usually that makes for tasty children like tangerines and whatnot, but sometimes Weird Shit happens.
All modern citrus are descended from Mandrin oranges, Pumelos and Etrogs, the latter being closest to lemons and which looks like this:
It’s big and lumpy and mostly pith but also tasty as hell so Ye Ancient Malay Archipeligo Orchard Guy gets to breeding these for more tasty innards, presumable inventing lemonade in the process. YAMAOG also finds out that it’s REALLY easy to seriously mess with the overall appearence of the fruit of these very inbred etrogs, and starts breeding all kinds of nonsense, like Bhudda’s palms, Modern Lemons and Grapefruit.
YAMAOG also noticed that in addition to the occasional ugly inbred mule child, you can also get really strange looking fruit if the tree gets sick, is malnourished, if any part of the flower is damaged, or if the weather just sucks that year. In addition to being a Major Slut, Citrus is also a Fussy Bitch.
Looking at the Demon Fruit, my best guesses are
- If you’ve had weird-shaped fruits off that tree before, you might have a very strange hybrid tree like the dachsund-pitbull one of my neighbors owns.
- If it’s only the one fruit, and your tree is producing otherwise normal lemons, that particular flower or branch took some kind of damage or had a viral infection, which fucked up all the hormones and hence your lemon has gone all Ending-Of-Akira on you.
GOOD NEWS FOR BOTH SCENARIOS: unless the fruit looks like it’s actually rotting, it’s safe to eat! weird fruit shapes in lemons pretty much never makes them dangerous, just maybe a bit more tart than usual.
Enjoy a nice glass of demonfruit juice!
Also, did you need lemon zest for anything? Because you have it.

the swedish author Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1942) in her twenties. not only one of the most famous lesbians in swedish history, but also apperntly, really early with that gay gender studies proffesors hair cut sported by half of the famous lesbian and bisexual academics of sweden.
goals tbh.
also, this is the type of hair cut off which she write to her girlfriend sofie elkan, that she managed to “seduce ALL the women at the party with, because they just found me so HOT” (this were before they were togheter, and selma sends very long letters filled this type of… somewhat… human disaster flirting).
Sorry for majorly hijacking this post but I’m freaking the fuck out….Selma has a major legacy in Sweden and is widely beloved and we read about her in early grade school and when they tell us her stories when we’re kids, they tell us to be proud that we had such a wonderful writer be Swedish and write stories encompassing our landscapes…..until very recently she was the face on our 20 crown bill, for fucks sake, she was the first woman to win the Nobel price in literature, and that was before women could even vote….and I had no fucking idea she was even rumored to be a lesbian until I saw this post (my heart fucking stopped)
So obviously I looked into it and for sure…..she never married and shared intense love letters with women….that her family and the general public say are “just intense feelings between friends and we can’t know for sure”
OH MY DAY JUST GOT TEN TIMES BETTER im diving headfirst into the swedish archives right now bye
you are not at all hijacking my post! it pleases me very much that a new person learned about this :D
And yes, in sweden her being a lesbian has been hushed down in the public narratitve. but! well….. she was the most MASSIVE LESBIAN EVER!!!
i wrote a long post explaning the entire history of denying her lesbianism etc etc, but then tumblr ate it :(
but! i rec reading, and reading about, her letters to her 2 major girlfriends in life, Sophie Elkan and Valborg. there is so much!
go go go go to that archive!
ps. i am gender studies grad student. i can, with the backing of my entire gender studies deperemnet, tell the word that Selma Lagerlöf was a massive lesbian, without ANY doubt. all who claim otherwise, are frankly furthering along a homophobic history revisionist narrative invented during Selmas life - time as a smear campaign against her. one selma could not defend herself aganinst, being that being a lesbian was illegal in sweden during her life - time.
BUT SELMA WAS A LESBIAN, HEEEEEELL YEAAAAH *head bangs*
ps. another reasons this was previously “not known” in sweden, was that she had on porpuse ordered that her personal letters could not be opened before a certain amount of decades had passed after her death.
well, in the 1990 (or 1980s i don’t recall) her letters was opened, and we all found out, without any doubt, that she was a lesbian! and ever sense then, lgbtq swedish academics have been laughing in joy, thinking fondly of this fact.
hah! the lgbtq academics (and swedish lgbtq people in general) laughed last in these century long debate about the sexuality of selma. she was a lesbian, as we had always said. WE WON *strikes a pose*
