Ukraine in 2016 - and 2022

Went back to check out Ukraine's Eurovision winning song from 2016... There was controversy at the time, because although the title is '1944' people felt that the song might reference more current events (the annexation of Crimea) and now...

The song could be re-titled '2022'

Lyrics:

When strangers are coming
They come to your house
They kill you all
And say
We’re not guilty
Not guilty

Where is your mind?
Humanity cries
You think you are gods
But everyone dies
Don’t swallow my soul
Our souls

I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace
I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace

We could build a future
Where people are free
To live and love
The happiest time

Where is your heart?
Humanity rise
You think you are gods
But everyone dies
Don’t swallow my soul
Our souls

I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace
I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace

And here is the official video for 'Stefania' (war imagery, in case that wasn't obvious from the thumbnail):

Doctor Who... and fic

I have no idea what it means. Guess we'll find out...

I also came across this ~fabulous~ little trailer:

Drag sensation tiakofi meets Cybermen, Shakespeare and a fellow Queen in her dwtimefracture adventure! 👑

Anyway, since I have been battling with a fic for like, ever (it features the Seeker, Josh & Jamie - I ♥ my OCs, even if they will NOT behave when it comes to this fic), I occurred to me that maybe I should post the background/origin stories for Josh & Jamie that have been sitting in my drafts since forever. So I made a start! I've called it 'Family Fortune' (since it's all about their respective families) and the first story is 'Mothers and Daughters' (4 short chapters, only just over 4k words altogether), and it can be found here:

Mothers and Daughters

For the like... um... three people who might be interested? /wildly optimistic

Now this particular story is basically unashamed baby fic, and you need know nothing about my AU 'verse (or even Doctor Who) - it could be original fiction, tbh, and the premise is very simply: 'What if your (beyond adorable) baby was... not quite what it seemed?'
