The Doctor is a tragic character in the best Greek tragedy tradition.

So y'all know how the most common driving factor for intelligence to develop in species is if they're social? (Octopi aren't very social but let's ignore that real quick, the Doctor's a vertebrate anyway so invertebrate intelligence can probably be dismissed as irrelevant) Because after a point, more intelligence isn't really needed to avoid danger or gather food. But more intelligence does make it possible to communicate more efficiently, form more complex social bonds, eventually develop culture. Cue why social species tend to be more intelligent than solitary ones of otherwise comparable lifestyle. And cue why humanity is the way it is.

Now look at Gallifreyans. (I am purposefully ignoring the Timeless Child thing bc I don't rlly believe it and besides, even assuming it's true, The Doctor is similar enough to Gallifreyans to have flawlessly believed himself/themselves/herself to be one for 13+ regenerations, so anything that can be concluded to be true from analysis of Gallifreyans has good basis to be presumed true about the Doctor, whatever the fuck semantics you wanna use) So, Gallifreyans. A species much more advanced than according to DW canon humanity will ever be. More intelligent than humanity. High levels of education and not on the basis of private tutoring. Lives in cities. Has complex language and technology capable of instantly translating pretty much any language of any other species to be understandable to them. (Hell the TARDIS consistently still translates shit to English for the companions while they're outside it.) Complex social structure. That's one fucking social species.

And it gets better. The TARDIS is meant to be operated by a team of six. And even if River was joking about six, it's still clear that it should at least be more than one. Compare the Doctor steering the TARDIS alone to when he was with Susan. I mean, even those two looked like they could use an extra hand. Have you ever seen a human private use vehicle designed with 2+ pilots in mind? Definitely a species more social than humanity.

And the telepathy thing? Hello? Insanely, mind-boggingly social species.

Now take a being this fundamentally social and do something to them so that they see no recourse other than to take one (1) same-species (as far as he was aware disclaimer ig) companion, steal a ship they have little to no clue how to pilot, leave everything and everyone they've ever known and run without ever stopping for breath, no matter how much they miss home, no matter if it hurts. (And I do believe something must have happened to make him run like that, since the beggining, way before the Time War) Have them be scorned, judged, punished, mistreated and rejected by their species, again and again, for ages. Have them love, again and again, only to always lose everyone they've cared about, through abandonment or death. Have them essentially be forced to exterminate their whole species and believe themselves to be the last of their kind, only to be proven wrong by the whole Master situation, which alright is better, but also in some ways is worse. Have them, once again, form deep bonds with companions and once again lose all of them in various varyingly tragic ways until they have no hope left that anyone can ever truly stay for any amount of time even close to satisfactory, that love can for them end in anything but loss and pain. And they can't even avoid love altogether in an effort to spare themselves the inevitable agony of losing loved ones, because they're incapable of not growing to care for those around them. And they can't be without company either, because their sanity goes straight to hell in a handbasket within like,, 5 minutes of being alone.

Let me remind you this is not a human we're talking about. It's a member of a species much more inherently social than humanity. My point?

The Doctor is literally more lonely than the human brain can comprehend.

Something about how Palm isn't as terrified as Nueng is about getting back to their time and breaking the curse because his biggest fear was his and Khun Nueng's status difference, the circumstances keeping them apart (his biggest fear was Nueng not loving him back).

But Palm's overcome those fears - he has built a restaurant and a bar and he has learned English because he will be good enough for Nueng, he will be someone worthy of standing by his side (and Nueng reassures him, in a thousand little ways, that he loves Palm back. This is the most important part).

But Palm has overcome those fears, and so he has nothing left to fear anymore. He will live every yesterday and every tomorrow - as long as Nueng is there, he has nothing to fear.

There are times the days pass by slowly. Others, much too quick for her liking. She finds herself seated upon a hard, wooden bench. The night sky, as always, acts as a strange form of comfort. A sigh escapes, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I have goals to fulfill, and yet.. I remain here. Is basking in these seldom moments of comfort so selfish of me?"

yall. discovering the good omens parody made me rewatch @thehillywoodshow parodies i remember from my teenhood and.

this makes me experience shrimp emotions. idk where to even start explaining how this makes me feel. but ig i will try

like first of all the fact that ive watched enough of this show to know all the references. and that all these references happened at all and this show happened at all and that i watched most of it and loved it as a teen. its like awe and suprise and nostalgia and sadness and joy and a little bit of mortification but then vindication for having been so passionate about something and enjoying it

second of all the song, im not a massive fan of swift and never really was but shake it off and a lot of her stuff was pretty unavoidable during those years, and i def cant deny this and others are absolute bops and still make me smile and dance... and the message is positive and fun, the way lyrics are changed in the parody mostly fit really well and sound really good so its a song i can enjoy without the context too

and how its like. intentionally combining this... idea of a misogynistic perception of fandom that used to be a lot more prominent, of like the "squeee fangirl" and just being super silly and fun because why the fuck not! and combining it with this show, which is (at least at the start meant to be) more like kinda broody and classically masculine and stuff, and just embracing that combination so genuinely and happily, it was so wonderful to see in 2015 and still so wonderful, and such a fuck you to THA HATERS literally

and just. the production quality is incredible and inspiring, theres so much going on so many scenes and so many meme and culture and show references that bring a smile to my face, the cosplay is wonderful and high quality and makes me want to cosplay spn(really? oh god) for the first time again...

and the fact that they got so many actors and people involved with the show involved!! seeing fancontent aknowledged by "official" sources is still pretty baffling to me sometimes, and it def wasnt as regular in 2015 as it is now to my knowledge, so this was super BIG and awesome back then...

i fell off the latter end of spn, so the only like offical fan depictions and fandom aknowledgements in the series itself i remember are Fan Fiction and the novels and the larper ghostbusters?? or whatever, and those werent always the most sympathetic, or rather made fun of the fandom... which like, parody is fine, spn is a fun meta show, but it did often feel somewhat meanspirited and disapproving, which i understand but dont like. So seeing a fan-MADE parody that is just genuinely celebrating the work AND its fans is such a joy!!!

im just... :') god what a wonderful video and time to look back on and remember, it makes me so happy this exists

im sure all of this was said when this released but 14 year old me certainly couldnt have expressed this, or very literally have the like. context of looking back on this in a historical and cultural sense lmao so. Thinks about <3

you know i feel like people on this site will often tell younger queer people who are a bit too into identity politics and slur discourse and whatnot that they should just go out and meet real queer people or go to pride or whatever and the benefits of that are sort of implied- you’ll see that most of the stuff people say on the internet about queerness and queer discourse doesnt matter and thats all good and dandy and stuff. but i think its kind of unsure of how exactly? 

idk im moving to a new apartment and i was packing up my stuff, and i found one of my pride flags that i got last year at pride, and i’d bought it from an indigenous person who was selling like indigenous themed pride stuff in addition to the standard pride flags and bracelets and whatnot, and we wound up having a conversation about how difficult it is to change your name when you’re a more masc presenting person. they had a white sounding legal name and wanted to change it to something that better reflected their culture but struggled because they were masc presenting, even though the name they wanted to be their legal name was also pretty masculine sounding (to me at least, idk if it was in their culture). i’d shared that experience despite being a white person who was much younger than them, due to my more masculine appearance. 

the first drag show i went to, there was a section at the end after all the like professional performers went where people in the audience could come up and do a little on the fly costume, just for sillies. and there were two people (very femme presenting), one in a bi pride necklace, and they got engaged on stage. i dont remember a single person who wasn’t just overjoyed to see queer love in public.

it really doesnt matter about what your identity is, it’s that we’re all queer and we’re, for the most part, all that each other have. and honestly that’s the attitude that i’ve come to both about queerness en masse and as a political thing, but also for myself personally. i’m queer and that’s really all i have to say about that. not that it’s bad for other people to have more to say about their identities, i just think that its more important to focus on our similarities rather than our differences, and that this is one of the only paths to liberation for all of us. idk just some thoughts tm, stay safe everyone and make sure you’re hydrated/eating/taking your meds and all that <3

I saw someone on here say that Ishamel’s new identity was basically an NFT? What the fuck?

I already wasn’t a fan of this person because they’re always tagging their stuff with limbus even though it’s only tangentially related, but that’s such an insane take that I genuinely cannot wrap my head around it. Honestly it’s what made me finally block them.

sad: falling out of a hyperfixation

tragic: watching your beloved friends and mutuals fall out of the hyperfixation while you're still in it

#oughhhhhhh #this is about the dca fandom but also about every other strong fixation ive had over the years lol #i know it's normal and inevitable esp for less popular works or minor characters with little canon content #and there's nothing wrong with smaller communities of course those rock #but there’s just something special about getting into something at the same time as a lot of other people all at once #and existing in this chaotic fandom space that's just bursting with creativity and passion #i've been in fandom spaces for as long as some of you have been alive and i've only come across that sort of unbridled joy like #a handful of times at best #it's just a heartbreaking feeling to see real lightning in a jar fandoms like that wither away as people drift away #(understandably so!) #anyway don't mind me i'm just having thoughts #musing about fandoms past as well #that i too eventually moved on from but remember fondly even if im not active in anymore #also my music just aint hitting right so im just sitting in silence which makes me more Contemplative(tm)
