I hate when time doesn’t stand still when I want
I will be very disappointed if the Doctor doesn’t comment about your comment. I’m honestly kinda surprised he hasn’t yet. (cue me being ninjaed in the time it took me to write this).
Oh, hey! I lucked out. Time DID stand still for me. ^^
Suck it Walky.
Great Scott!!
…but you’re anachronistic…time-stuff is your thing D:
Doesn’t mean it does it when I want!
Stardew Valley has been reminding me how much I hate time. I can’t seem to stop playing but I’m not really *enjoying* it…
Theres a mod that makes time stop in buildings at least. Well, and like slows the passage of time otherwise back to Harvest Moon speeds too, I think?
Trapped in a Skinner Box, I see.

They fight it, but it feels like their little fling, and now their pause, aren’t going to turn out like they’re designed to.

Einstein was a far greater ladies man, though.
Smooth as fuck on whipping the hoodie off and tying it around the waist
I’m surprised as fuck that he’s wearing a clean, non butt-taco tee underneath.
Hoodie = bib.
“And, I’m totally not seeing someone up there.”
Definitely not! Perish the thought!
Listening to that ‘DING’ consumed valuable revising seconds, Dorothy.
Don’t call Walky a ding! That’s rude!

Time: He’s waiting in the wings,
He speaks of senseless things,
His script is you and me

thanks for this
*leaving satisfied*
the sword of time will pierce your skin
It doesn’t hurt when it begins…
I hadn’t thought of Don Marquis’s Archy and Mehitabel in a while, but:
time time said old king tut
is something i ain t
got anything but
“If I could save time
in a bottle…
The first thing I’d like to do.
Is to save every day
’til eternity passes away
Just to spend it with you…”
“Time! Is marching on.
And time, is still marching on.
This day will soon be at an end and now it’s even sooner.
And now it’s even sooner.
And now it’s sooner still. “
“I’m counting out time,
Got the whole thing down by numbers.
All those numbers!
Give my guidance!
O Lord I need that now.”
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
ELO made a concept album all about Time
RUSH
I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath,
Before I start off again driven on,
Without a moment to spend to pass an evening with a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thin I’d like to pause,
No matter what I pretend, like some pilgrim who learns to transcend,
Learns to live as if each step was the end
Time stands still
I’m not looking back but I want to look around me now
Time stands still
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away
Time stands still…
“I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling
Let’s do the Time Warp Again”
Do I really have to give attribution for this?
“Get the fuck off the thread!”
[i]60 seconds now feels more like thirty

–Dave, time is like a clock in my heart
Well maybe if you got around to awakening your Stand like your mother’s been pushing you to, maybe you wouldn’t be having a problem with time moving, Walky.
But which band would Walky’s stand be named after??
Ween
I really don’t like this game Dorothy is playing. I know she is fighting her own feelings of inadequacy, and is trying to hold herself to a higher standard, but she’s being really …cold… to someone she supposedly loves. You don’t push those people away, they are there to give you strength when you need it.
Damn kids.
eh, IMO, she’s being equally awful to everyone, including herself.
but she’s probably going to have to have her breakdown before she recognizes that.
Well, this isn’t Smarting of Age… Sometimes when you know everything, you have to learn these lessons the hard way.
“Walky why aren’t you talking to me? You’re allowed to talk to me. Let’s talk. You have 8.7 seconds to respond.”
Remember the part where everyone in this strip is a teenager, and thus makes terrible decisions. It’s okay a good portion of the comment section seems to forget about that part of life where you need to fuck up
That’s the point, you aren’t supposed to think that Dorothy is doing a good thing lol.
See Walky, this is why ya gotta learn how to control time.
Awww.
Poignancy makes water come out my eyes.
Aha! So THAT’S how you get Walky’s words and thoughts to be elevated!
….. you de-elevate.
….. huh. Is it really an elevator of the trip is a downer?
That’s really profound. I’m glad Walky has mechanisms to deal with him feeling like shit.
Speaking of which, I could use a distraction tonight. Anyone got some suggestions for ridiculous fanfics or other easy reading?
Any particular fandoms?
Naruto, Harry Potter.. although I’ve read a lot there already… I’ve only read the one Steven Universe fanfic so far…
I ended up reading about climate change and universe expansion on Reddit. Kinda depressing :p it did pass the time a bit but isn’t the sort of thing to help me sleep.
Hmmm. Anything under comedy or parody on FFN should be ridiculous as hell.
Possibly, but browsing that site has proved.. problematic.. (eg. It often makes Firefox ask to record both audio and video) and I don’t always have the patience to wade through all the painfully bad fanfics. Or the unfinished, abandoned ones.
That was a setup for self-advertisment if I ever heard it
Here is one of my more silly Harry Potter fics, about the twins doing a STELLAR job helping their baby sister coming to terms with the trials and tribulations of growing up
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2838797/1/Bat-Bogey-Hex
Here is one about Luna being Luna
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2983594/1/Wit-beyond-measure
Here is one about Luna just being cute
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3021395/1/Luna-s-Lullaby
Omg, poetry!
It’s like a cross between Lewis Carroll and Hoid. 
Awwww, thanks
I don’t know who Hoid is (please, let me know!), but writing like ol’ Lewis Carrol is everything I aspire to.

Ah, dangit, you got me started. Here is another Wonderland story about Luna being cute
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2795566/1/Luna-s-adventures-in-Wonderland
Hoid is one of Brandon Sanderson’s characters.
he was doing a lot of storytelling in Oathbringer.
Cool, I’ll check it out
I’m usually not into reading fanfics (might be, because I basically spent my teenage years with a friend together in a big meshed up fanfic we created in a messenger while writing. Thus our mutual love for writing was born… but I’m drifting of.)
Loved the first one with the twins (also still want to read the others), it made me snort a lot (I’m currently pretty sick, so I needed something like this – even though it was intended for inahc)
(snort as in “that’s funny”, because I can’t really laugh right now. Just wanted to clarify, ’cause on a second thought, it sounds pretty strange saying “it made me snort”)
Awww. Thanks. Just because of that I’ll link another little piece of fluff. This one about the characters being sick.

I’m a big fan of fanfic as writing training, so awesome work by you and your friend.
Aw- thanks, I’ll be sure to read it (and the other ones as well)!
And thanks – it did lead into me and my friend studying languages and myself producing a bunch of pretty long – and sometimes reaaally bad ones, ’cause I knew nothing of thoroughly planning a story, I simply wrote (until university kinda punched creativity out of me, but I’m slowly starting again with my ideas and motivation) so thanks
Might be too late for “this evening” but if you haven’t tried the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, do go check them out. Those books literally saved my life and kept me from suicide when my mum died. <333

I like to think that Walky cleaned the mess off his chin and tied his hoody around his waist in the exact amount of time she took to look at her watch.
And he claims he doesn’t have time stopping powers…
That shirt is also he same hue as the butt-taco shirt, so I like to think he also turned his shirt inside out or backwards in that amount of time as well.
Okay, is the rooftop inaccessible to those who aren’t superheroes or… adventurous enough to climb through the elevator roof hatch?
Or is the roof perfectly accessibly by lift yet inexplicably not a popular hangout spot?
Or do Americans not appreciate a good accessible rooftop as much as I do?
It’s accessible to everyone; most people just don’t use for… SOME reason. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/03-when-god-closes-the-door/roof-top/
Walky asks good questions, and I need to stop asking questions that have already been asked in-story.
Thanks.
Yes, Walky likes doing that ‘Luke watching the sunset’ thing and he isn’t deliberately trying to appear wistfully heroic. The thing is that I’m wondering if that imagery is now going to be playing on Dorothy’s mind!
“John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, everybody!”
Alt-text: Welcome to Dumbing of Age, where it’s Stupid Time, ALL of the time!
Stupid time, stupid time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Hang from the ceiling, stupid time
One of my greatest complaints is that time continues when I’m not observing it.
Man. I wish I spent more time on an open rooftop in college. But then again I prolly would have caught more colds.
Time doesn’t move fast. They were in the elevator for a week.
“We can talk as long as this elevator ride.”
Yeah you see that’s the problem.
I’m shipping Amazi-Girl and Walky just to see Dorothy’s horrified reaction and descent into supervillainy.
THAT GOT REAL SO FAST.
