    I've had ideas for Doctor Who stories sitting in my head since I was old enough to start forming my own stories. Last year I got the opportunity to get some of them down on paper.

    Now I'm going to get to use them, but not in the way I expected and not in the manner you might think.

    It's all very exciting.

    Im going to say Telltale game

    Oh man, if only. I suspect if that ever happens (and it probably won't, because BBC Worldwide's strategy regarding video games these days is "fingers in ears, off-key singing") they'll put the scriptwriting duties in the hands of someone like James Moran or Phil Ford.

    Oh man, i assume you can't say more, but that's rad!

    can you say if it will be audio, video, comic or prose?

    Audio, possibly connected with a BBC licensee, but not the one you'd think. I won't say what it is, but as Y2J said, "NO NEW IDEAS."

    i'm gonna guess you're writing a H2G2 remake for web-radio.

    So spending a lot of time and energy taking pictures this weekend has been awesome.

    The problem, of course, is that now I'm finding it easier to talk myself into a new camera body.
    Thankfully, logic is Victor. I have zero need for it.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    That does sound like a mod John Egbert would make.

    In the unlikely situation I was ever offered the chance to write H2G2 I would politely, very politely, turn it down. I'm really not the guy. Y"know who would be, though? Gareth Roberts. Seriously, read his novelization of Adams' "Shada" - it's the best postmortem impersonation of a writer I think I've ever read.

    Today my sister pointed out that my mom is still extremely mad at me for spending time with my dad.

    Reminder that she straight up cancelled our day out yesterday because she was mad that i was spending time with my dad.

    i'm gonna go with radio silence until she calls me back and isn't mad at me.

    Is that a good idea?

    May be a bit more punitive than she deserves, but I do understand the idea of giving her some time to cool off, and I don't know the complete dynamics of your relationship(s)

    Jump Leads isn't dead either, by the way, we've just been reassessing how to make and release it. Which is good, because I've got a nice little wedge of scripts here and I'd hate to see them go unrecorded.

    Look, yesterday we were supposed to do a thing.

    I send her a text asking when to expect her and she responds with an angry text attempting to guilt-trip me, which actually made me feel like trash for most of the day.

    I decided to not let her make me feel like trash. i'm an adult, i moved out, i'm independent. If she cancels our plans and bitches at me for not doing enough stuff with her, it's her problem, not mine at this point.

    i am not going to accept her attacking me psychologically, especially because she knows very well how weak i am in that respect and how easy it is to make me feel like trash, which leads to me getting depressed.

    If i call her and she's angry, i know it'll just end with me getting depressed and i don't need that in my life.

    FWIW, I'm on your side here. Your mother can't guilty-trip you for spending time with your father, cancel plans with you for that reason, and then complain that you don't spend enough time with her. She's setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy, either by cancelling plans or by making herself into the sort of person that you don't want to spend time with her.

    I do also feel, however, that it's important to communicate to her how her actions affect you. Nothing is gained by absolute radio silence. Giving her space, fine, that's reasonable. But telling her that her actions and words are causing you distress would be beneficial for your relationship.

    Keep in mind, though, this is coming from someone who left it far too late to talk to his mother about literally everything, and my mother died as I was boarding the plane that would take me to see her to have that talk. So my own biases may be coming into play, here.

    I used to fall for the guilt tripping, so bad.

    Years of getting shit on has led me to develop a huge callous of cynicism over the guilt so I only ever feel bad for things I actually do.

    Like right now I feel guilty as fuck for failing as a stepfather, but I dont feel guilty that my ex is going to be living slim. You threw me away, its your problem now.

    only do this if you haven't done it already

    don't get sucked into the "am i being mean" thought spiral, we're all conditioned to cut family infinite slack and if you think about it enough you'll eventually talk yourself into being a doormat to get stepped on

    set clear boundaries, communicate openly, but if the other party isn't playing ball no contact is the right approach

    maybe occasional contact, every six months or something, but not once a week or close to it

    No it was as totally Akira. You know the middle part where it's a bunch of weird kids for some reason being wrinkled and Tetsuo and Kaneda are both unrelatable and rude assholes?

    Around then we realized that the opening to the movie was great and that was worth the price of admission.
