Saturday Word: Spiccato
Dec. 13th, 2025 11:56Spiccato - adjective.
Spiccato is a string instrument bowing technique where the bow bounces lightly and rhythmically off the string. Originating from the Italian verb "spiccare" (to separate), spiccato relies on the bow's natural spring and elasticity.
Here's a video demonstrating spiccato, as I have no musical talent whatsoever to try and explain it :-)

Title: The Annoyances of the Future being Reliant on the Doctor's Pet
Creator:
ThoughtsCascade
Rating: Not Rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 1981 words
Creator's Summary:
Missy heaved a sigh, rolling her eyes. "Time Lady. I can sense time loops. Time travel tastes different." She blinked innocently. "I could pull a Doctor and lick you to check, but really, the smell alone is enough. Would put me off my lunch, if I wasn't an unrepentant murder. Isn't much worse than blood. So. How long, and what was the inciting incident?"
Or, Missy is trapped in a time loop with one Clara Oswald, and neither are particularly pleased with this fact.
Characters/Pairings: Missy, Clara Oswald
Warnings/Notes: None
Reasons for reccing: It's a really interesting time loop - much longer than you generally get when you think of the trope - which makes it fun. And it's also Missy being Missy and being annoyed with Clara, which is fun.
