The Master always bringing in diagetic music, (I Can't Decide, Hey Missy, Rasputin, etc) because they've always been a little miffed that THEY couldn't hear the non-diagetic theme music like the Doctor could.

Imagine your best friend swore up and down they could sometimes hear situationally relavent music. Yet you were stuck with a 4 beat pounding in your head or nothing.

Like sooooo unfair. Hand me the aux, I'm leveling the playing field

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

#i love using the waverley as an example #shes a very cool boat

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

Not to go all color theory here but I just realized.

The Whalers' jacket colors are a big deal in Dishonored, right? Master assassins wear blue, novices wear gray, and Daud and Billie Lurk wear red.

Well, I was looking up a reference for something else and it hit me like a train: in DotO, Billie's main color is still/again red. Her outfit isn't the same as when she was a Whaler, but it's clear she has reclaimed her old identity after several years of being Meagan Foster.

She's wearing red again, possibly because she still thinks of herself in terms of her past.

And Daud still wears red, too. Only, it's no longer his main color.

His red is now under the dark jacket. His hair's gone white, his colors have been leeched out, and the color that once defined him is now half-hidden under a shroud.

something i have always found really weird is when english texts italicize words from other languages.

i remember reading a book as a kid and the author continually italicizing the word tamales

hey guys i’ve seen no one else say it. but can we talk about the scene in space babies with ruby at the huge wall window, looking out at space, commenting on humans surviving, as the doctor watches from behind. how she goes “my mum is long gone” and the doctor says “give me your phone” and he sonics it and she calls her and it’s a silly little interaction. yeah? and then can we talk about how that’s Literally Exactly What Happened in The End of the World with ninerose. the parallels… gifmakers GET IN HERE NOW.

Guys, guys, look, guys, I know that Dracula is terrible. But I unironically want to start greeting people with his "Welcome to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring!". I want to find a sign that says this and hang it on my front door. I need to incorporate this in my every day speech. I'm 65% of the way to making it my lock screen on my phone. I am actively adding it to my blog as we speak. This is by far my favorite line of the whole book. I just.
