Yay.

You've got this, no matter what the little voices tell you, you have got this.

They might say it's hopeless or that she's too powerful to take head on, but you should ignore those voices.

You are special. You, and only you, can slay her. You don't need a grand sword to do it; a knife is more than enough.

This sucks so bad, I need to [remembers suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] slay the Princess. If I don’t, it will be the end of the world.

It's such a shame too, the original version was a human-like group who had to change themselves into these cybernetic monsters just to survive. They wanted to convert humans as a mercy.

I feel like there's something valuable in the Moffat era in how often they independently crop up, and in the classic era for being able to see just a little bit of the actor.

Maybe there could be some kind of transhumanist story, where people actively become cybermen in an experiment to circumvent the need to terraform a planet so they can go out and collect resources on a struggling colony. It could have been going well for a while. These cybermen could have names, like the original, and eventually people decide to undergo conversion to reduce the resources needed to get by. Or the cybermen, seeing their people continuing to suffer, decide to remove that suffering by force.

IDK, just thought it'd be an interesting story idea.

the concept of the cybermen is magnificent. it's creepy. it's disturbing. it's the terror of undeath and the horror of coming back wrong. it's the endless march of capitalism, it's the commodification of disability aids, it's the ceaseless machinations of time. it's monopolisation. it's euthanasia as a substitute for healthcare. it's a lot of things. unfortunately many cyberman appearances can be boiled down to "scary army of robots invades" and frankly if i wanted to watch fiction about a robot and not the cybermen i'd just put on, well, robot.

They both work Overtime, even if they appear to be lazy.

they would be good friends and nobody can change my mind

I'd probably say something dumb like, "It killed more than one of my kind and, as I have killed many of yours, I suppose it's a fair cop if you end my life. Just one question, have you killed two or more humans? I want to know in case," this is where I get up with a groan, picking up my pole arm and shield, "I have the chance to defend myself."

You're a dragon slayer—but only kill dragons that attack humans. One day, a black dragon corners you and angrily asks, "Why did you kill my brother?"

A very unfinished sketch to make up for some inactivity :)

Love a big bird guy and unimaginable horrors in a dress lmao

First family dinner back in Ithaca

Penelope: Want some pork for dinner, Darling?

Odysseus (gagging): No, Beloved. I don't think I'll ever look at a pig the same way.

Telemachus: Ooh! Dad, how about some bee-

Odysseus (terrified): No! Don't even finish that suggestion! (Whispering) He'll hear you.

(Penelope and Telemachus look at one another with concern)

Penelope: Well, we also have some fish.

Odysseus: Perfect!

(Odysseus proceeds to stab it as violently as possible)

Telemachus:...Mom, was he like this before or...?

Penelope (swooning): No, but I'm into it.

this image is so endearing to me,, like,,
