Every time my kids ever do anything that involves their worth in other people's eyes I'm wracked with guilt and anger and self righteous rage on their behalf I completely get the harpoon thing.

My dad had a hell of an early life and it just makes me happy that he is happy now, despite all that. And I will say he probably didn't reach that level of happiness until he was in his sixties. It's never too late folks. It's never too late.

He has a girlfriend (they don't live together - they tried for a while but honestly the thought of living with my dad brings ME out in hives, I don't blame her for not sticking with it) but she has no interest in going to Italy for that long so she just waves him off and does her own thing.

About four years ago my dad decided to spend three months of every year in Italy and goddamn he's living his best (74 year old) life I'm so proud of him. Every couple of weeks we get a whatsapp dump of all the fantastic things he's seen. He goes by himself and just fucking ROCKS it.

you gotta hope Reacher has at least one spare pair of underpants with him at all times. Like, even if you sleep naked it takes more than eight hours to dry your Y-fronts my dude. Otherwise half the novel is gonna be him standing naked in a hotel bathroom with a hair dryer.

Every media platform is chasing the high that is Tumblr and forgetting the only reason we stay there (because you know image loading is shit there too) is because it shows us posts in chronological order of the people we follow. But that doesn't make money.

God it's messy though, I've got so many paragraphs that are going on the cutting room floor but they're GOOD PARAGRAPHS DAMMIT so they're still hanging around at the bottom of my document. I tried one way of doing a scene three different ways and they're all still hanging around.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Love it when fixing a plot hole means I can cut out an entire scene, four characters and about four paragraphs of exposition. In other news, first draft has been CHAOTIC but we're making good progress.

“Chad Twisters” I’m laughing so hard. The unbridled AMERICANNESS of it was somehow horrifying and endearing at the same time. I am not sure if it’s my favourite film of all time or if the world would be better had it never been made.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
My brain was tired tonight so husband and I watched Twisters and I’m so mad. I enjoyed it thoroughly in that way where you shout at the screen and point.

*fistbump* let's get through this.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
That's definitely how she started out. But yeah. Sarah was adamant about wanting to go home the whole time whereas Teagan was flexible.
020
Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Tegan was absolutely in love with the Doctor whereas Sarah Jane was Not. There's a whole story about it re: Tegan. And Peter Davidson got her back... twice? I think? but she still kept going with him when the opportunity arose.

My first STRAIGHT crush LOL. I was so attracted to that slimy worm.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
One of the OTHER reasons I hate new who, that whole "Sarah Jane Was In Love With Him" bs. She wasn't. She just wanted to not be plagued by alien spiders for six minutes.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I didn't mind when he saved folks. Adric was cool (until the thing) and I looooooved Turlough. Companions have so much more potential than just a series of love interests. And you know what, that's what I would focus on if they gave me Doctor Who. WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE WITH HIM?
110
Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
At least when Pertwee was doctor he was stuck on Earth, so his companions were just hanging around seeing weird shit, but being stuck in the tardis with a weird alien and no way to go home? THAT'S BAD. If you added romance on top of it it would be downright AWFUL.
130
Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
So I had low key anxiety about Sarah Jane Smith the ENTIRE time because in my ... six year old? understanding, she was trying to get home and COULDN'T because the tardis kept malfunctioning. I need to rewatch the entire series because I'm not actually sure that wasn't what was going on.

I very much admire every actor who has played The Doctor. I have watched maybe... a third of new Who. I know I'm old. And I'm not exactly nostalgic, I don't want to go back to the old Doctor Who. I just don't think the new one is for me.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Much as I love some aspects of New Who I will never be happy about the way the took away The Doctor's objectivity, the fact that he knew everything and was good at everything, they made him fallible and the reason I watched it when I was a kid was because he WASN'T. I LIKED HIM AS A MARY SUE.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
The beauty about having new people take the role was that there could be a new guy who solved problems and was great, and his personality wasn't quite the same, but he was still THE GUY WHO SOLVED THE PROBLEMS. His personal life WAS NOT THE ISSUE.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
BEFORE YOU ALL FUCKING DOGPILE ME: I'm right and you know it. The doctor was the solution to a problem, not a character in himself. Yes, he was quirky and fun in the moment, but the story was NEVER ABOUT HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. The doctor was already fucking great. He didn't need that.
1100
Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Gonna be a real old fart here and say the reason Doctor Who was my favourite show as a kid was because it was about problems that only the doctor could solve, and he did that without it being a personal character flaw he had to overcome. He was just the doctor and he was good at it.

If you don't want an actual play I really do absolutely recommend Marscorp, The Divide AND The Monster Hunters. They're really bloody good audio fiction. And we're getting another season of Marscorp. Soon. Soooon. soon.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Honestly though anything Definitely Human does - The Infinite Bad is an awesome actual play as well.

Marscorp, The Divide, Among the Stars and Bones. In order: Deranged Sci Fi, 70s Spy Thriller and Sci Fi Xeno Archaeology.

I wrote a big sci-fi adventure series with a cast of diverse, surprising characters to fall in love with, plot twists and jokes. Half is set in apocalyptic Yorkshire with big dangerous robots on the prowl. The other half is set inside a very unusual kind of cyberspace. rustyquill.com/show/rez-high/

It’s really very simple, if you cannot use your toys responsibly THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY. Any four year old knows this.

Your AI agents can’t follow instructions? So you’re a bunch of incompetents? Or you just didn’t think we’d notice? Either way it’s not the AI’s fault it’s YOURS.

There's a piano trio going on next door and I'm delighted. I suspect they're practicing for something (my guess is HSC practical music exams in a few weeks) but it's so lovely to hear them.

lol I love a lot of her songs but will say I've mostly gotten to them from weird routes.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I just don't care about music in a way that makes me want to follow every single thing that happens in it every single day in every single genre. And I live in a world where I don't have to. Does this say something about the world in general? Very probably, but it's something of a relief.

I think the song discourse is really what's wrong with Social Media T M all around - if you don't know about something you're somehow morally deficient and I GET IT. I'm terminally online when it comes to the things I care about.
