The fact that BBC class never got a season 2 is my Roman empire and always will be. With that ending? With April becoming shadowkin? With the fallout between Charlie and Matteusz and all of Charlie's guilt over using the Cabinet of Souls and losing everything left of his people? The sudden change in dynamic between Ms. Quill and Charlie/Quill saving Charlie's life? Ram's reaction to April becoming Shadowkin? Tanya and Ram dealing with the ramifications of telling Charlie to use the Cabinet of Souls? The fact that they STILL HAVEN'T PROPERLY DEALT WITH THE FALLOUT FROM WHEN THEY WERE TRAPPED WITH THE PRISONER AND THE TRUTH-GUILT ROCK? Feral. Absolutely FERAL, I am telling you. I'm never getting over this. It's been seven years and I am still NOT OVER IT
The end of online privacy
Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).
But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.
This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.
I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.
If this shit passes, lemme tell you...
- LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,
- people looking for abortions,
- people organizing protests,
- anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices,
- even FAN ARTISTS...
- Even people reading fan fiction...
- And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...
It's all gone. No privacy.

Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍
Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.
I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.
I'm shy, but I did it!
Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.
STAY SAFE!
Christmas brings a brief escape from Coal Hill’s usual problems. Although it has its own challenges, like terrible year seven choirs, gift buying and burnt baking.
Merry Christmas! With our re-run schedule now complete, it's time for some new stories!
Tonight we go back to Last Christmas in Shoreditch, in a brand new side story written by @bazwillendinflames, set during the events of Class: Series One.
Happy holidays from all of us at Class Ongoing, and we hope to have another surprise ready for you next week, for our third anniversary!
And now, for the final week of our re-run, we're resharing the last two side stories released during our unplanned hiatus:
First we have Change Your Mind, in which we return to Rhodia's past, in a unique little story touching on the events of Doctor Who: Flux. This was written by @intuitive-revelations, and is available here.
Next we have Missing Rachel, set back in Coal Hill, where some people never give up searching for those who are lost. This story was written by @bazwillendinflames and is available here.
The digital art for both covers was put together by @intuitive-revelations.
These may be the last stories of our current rerun, but we're far from done yet. We have two more surprises coming the next two Sundays, on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve - the third anniversary of our very first Class Ongoing story! We wish all our readers very happy holidays, and advise you keep an eye on this feed...
It's another in-between week, which means it's time to reshare another past tie-in, along with another lost diary entry, this time based on Episode 3: Life Cycles. If you haven't seen our updated edition of that story yet, you can find it here.
Today's side story isn't actually a story, but a trio of poems: War Itself: The Rhodian Sonnets by @intuitive-revelations. We leap back into the distant past to answer the question: just how did the Doctor become a 'figure of legend' on Rhodia anyway? Available here.
We also have another installment of The Lost Diary Entries of a Rhodian Prince, a collab between @intuitive-revelations (who also illustrated), @avariciousambitions, and @bazwillendinflames (who contributed this week's entry). This time, Charlie reflects on some new beginnings, after the events of Life Cycles.
As another casual reminder, The Lost Diary Entries of a Rhodian Prince is meant to double as a spoiler-filled recap of each episode from Charlie's perspective, so take caution if you're in the middle of reading that story, or planning to do so.
A text version is available here, under the same url as previously, PDF now updated to include Part 3.
“The past continues to haunt the group. Tanya and Ram seek out support from outsiders to cope with the death of their parents. April tries to keep Charlie together as the guilt threatens to bury him. Meanwhile Quill is not worried about her past, but her future, as her baby’s arrival draws closer, with the implications for her own fate still unclear…”
We return to the third installment of our main series, as Quill's big day arrives with a brand new edition of Episode 3: Life Cycles, written by Ellie J (@bazwillendinflames)!
Hello everyone! It's week 4, and our second 'in-between' week, of our re-run through the Class Ongoing story so far! If you haven't checked it out already, you can find our last episode re-release from last week here.
Today we're resharing our third side-story, Leaving Bannerman Road, written by @intuitive-revelations, with cover art by @liria10.
After a surprise appearance from Sky Smith in Episode One: Fallen Soul, we go back to Bannerman Road, five years after the events of the Sarah Jane Adventures: Series 5, to find out what she's doing here in Coal Hill. Available here.
We also have the second installment of our new tie-in, The Lost Diary Entries of a Rhodian Prince, written as collab between @intuitive-revelations (who also illustrated), @avariciousambitions (who wrote this entry), and @bazwillendinflames. This time, Charlie writes about the events of Call of the Void, and their impact on Matteusz and himself.
As a reminder, The Lost Diary Entries of a Rhodian Prince is meant to double as a spoiler-filled recap of each episode from Charlie's perspective, so do not read if you're in the middle of reading that story, or planning to do so.
Please also be aware that Call of the Void and this entry directly discussing those events each contain mentions/depictions of attempted suicide. Please proceed with caution if these themes are at all damaging or distressing.
A text version is available here, at the same link as previously, PDF now updated to include Part 2.
It's the second week of our rerun series! To give enough time to read through each episode, we won't be releasing the 2nd edition of Episode Two: Call of the Void today. Instead, however, we have a trio of tie-in stories, two old, one new for you to read.
First it's our first ever story, The New Year, a collaborative work between Class Ongoing writers @bazwillendinflames, @intuitive-revelations, and @tinybookgirl, with cover art by @liria10.
Set between Brave-ish Heart and Detained, we get to catch a small glimpse at how everyone spends their New Year’s Eve. Available here.
Next, it's our second tie-in, President Woods, written by @intuitive-revelations and with cover art again by @liria10.
With Courtney Woods being supposedly in the same year as the gang, we found it a little odd that she never shows up in Class. In this story, we take small detour into the future, to find out why. Available here.
Finally, we have the first installment of our new multipart side story, The Lost Diary Entries of a Rhodian Prince, the full length of which is written as another collaborative work, this time between @intuitive-revelations, who also illustrated it, @avariciousambitions, and @bazwillendinflames.
In this series, we expand on the entries seen in the latest Big Finish audio, Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince, with new entries by Charlie reflecting on the latest events in Coal Hill. In this long installment, he fills in on the events since The Lost, as well as those of Fallen Soul.
The Lost Diary Entries of a Rhodian Prince is meant to double as a spoiler-filled recap of each episode, in this case Episode One, from Charlie's perspective, so do not read if you're in the middle of reading that story, or planning to do so.
If you're unable to read from the images, whether due to tech difficulties, visual impairment, or just can't discern my Charlie's handwriting, a text version is available here.
"School is back in session, but the dark events in Shoreditch are far from over. With the kids' relationships hanging by a thread and a rogue soul on the streets of Shoreditch, will they find it before it’s too late?"
Today, seven years after the premiere of the first two episodes of Class, we begin the Ongoing journey again!
Over the next few months, we will be regularly re-releasing each Class: Ongoing installment so far, as we prepare to finally continue our story.
Each main episode will release fortnightly on Sundays, with our side stories being posted in the alternating weeks, each on the anniversary of the release of episodes of the original series.
Along with providing a chance to catch up on the story so far, for readers both new and old, each main episode has also been updated as a new edition (check out that tweaked cover art, with fancy new DW logo and adjusted colour grading!), fixing some small errors we missed while editing the first time round, as well as making a few other updates.
Expect also to see some new content, with a new multipart side story arc beginning next week!
This story was written by Ally Chancellor (@tinybookgirl) and illustrated by Anne-Laure Tuduri (@liria10) and Matt Jordan (@intuitive-revelations).
In Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince we learn Matteusz and Charlie first met on Charlie’s first day of school after he had a panic attack in a lift. Whats really interesting in this scene is that Mattuesz isnt good at dealing with panic attacks yet! He copies techniques from movies (he suggest breathing into a paper bag) and mostly manages to help by distracting Charlie.
But, by Detained when Charlie has another panic attack, Matteusz has learned a breathing technique to help him, he stays much calmer, is able to help Charlie. So he clearly has taught himself how to help Charlie with a panic attack after meeting him. That’s love!
also if I had to break down the audio its like 50% the most harrowinng trauma dumping, 45% Charlie being obsessed with Mattuesz and 5% retracted but potentially s2 related other
After listening to Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince I cannot recommend it enough, it has the best ending of them all
So... I finally listened to Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince, and oh boy is my brain now whirling...
I have been thinking about buying it, would anyone say it is worth the price?
Personally, I'd say so, but I'm biased.
The core of it is something of a retrospective following Charlie adapting to Earth and his blossoming relationship with Matteusz over the series, so if you like hearing them you'll be very happy.
Despite being set over the series, it doesn’t waste too much time on events we’ve already seen though. Some continuity details made me raise an eyebrow, but I’ll need to check in detail if there’s any actual contradictions later. However, if you’re looking for an ‘adventure’ you might find it wanting.
There is significantly more though! I don’t want to give away spoilers, but it has some interesting new details and gives some strong if vague clues about where the story might go if Big Finish get to make more Class audios as we go past the televised series. There’s a surprise that’s been kept secret too.
You also get Charlie doing his best attempt at impersonating Peter Capaldi, which is delightful.
Next big finish class drama in January 2023!!
I am not normal about this and never will be 🥰
