now that my friend pointed it out i cant stop thinking about the design of the tardis in the tv movie because 1) it was gorgeous but 2) that was a home. that was his home. he had a chair to lounge in and a record player. seeing the tardis in the tv show, that one huge console room, bigger on the inside and yeah, it’s impressive but it’s functional. (i’m assuming this is a budget thing, because it would probably be extremely impractical to have the kind of set they put together for the tv movie for every episode of an actual show lmao.)

there’s just something so. i think it’s the first time i’ve really looked at the doctor in the tardis and thought, right, he lives in there. rather than it just being his car. it is very funny to think of the doctor as a guy living out of his shitty van, but no, the tardis can be a home. it can be warm and comfy and full of knick-knacks.

#doctor who tv movie tardis set i LOVE you. its so pretty #can we talk about the set design in that movie actually its so fucking good #like i know its haha movie bad but fun. but holy shit that set was actually gorgeous. who made that. i need to kiss them. #im kind of miffed now that the show got a bigger budget and used it to make the console room even bigger but even more sterile looking #i think this is another reason i like twelve too. twelve’s just got shit in there. chairs and blackboards and his guitar. it still feels #like he’s living in his van rather than a proper house but it *does* feel like he’s living in it #anyway. let fifteen put some knick-knacks in his console room. #doctor who

Mysterious Lotus Casebook (2023) // Anne Carson

#just thinking abt how li lihuan’s life was never his until he remade it into something he knew he was never going to be able to keep #& even then not really when so much of it was formed in the shadow of what had once made him #& as soon as he’d found something. someone. to live for. he couldn’t. #when your myth becomes your god and your future fractures you into a pawn. ruled by the actions of those surrounding you #who get to move you as another piece in their own game. and your personhood is lost. until the one person you meet who loved you first as a #legend begins to know you truly and love you as a person & as yourself. to the point that reconciling you as the same myth becomes a cruel #ty. to see what you have & to know you are going to lose it. to look at your soulmate. the person who knows you #in your bones. your best friend. and to be seen. and to know you cannot keep him. ANYWAY. #mysterious lotus casebook #bet y’all thoguht i was over them I.

Once more frustrated by people seeing Light's various moves as stupid because they're looking at it from a point of omniscience and not from the perspective of Light himself and the information he had access to :')

#death note #yagami light #my light bias is showing but also no its not #bc im right #like honestly what would YOU have done? without the knowledge that you have from being a spectator #an audience member #i myself wouldve done some of the dumbest shit imaginable and i own that #im a dumb bastard i wouldve panicked the moment L came on screen tbh #i would attempt to leave the country and then L would arrest me bc he was monitoring the ports #also i wouldnt have been kira at all bc i wouldntve thought to use the death note worldwide but thats another story #thats also another pet peeve i have bUT THATS NOT THE POINT RN #THE POINT IS THAT FOR SOMEONE WHO KNEW AS LITTLE AS LIGHT DID ABOUT THE SITUATION HE WAS IN HE MADE THOUGHTFUL CHOICES #choices that WORKED #sure some of them might have fucked him over a bit later but AGAIN #hes not omniscient. there were things he literally had no way of knowing. why do people think hes omniscient #grim rants

Anyways this whole submarine thing has proven that people on this site aren’t actually able to commit to eating the rich.

#oh no there is a 19 year old on there #he’s a little itty bitty kid who has no thoughts of his own #so he signed a legal document that said you could die in this thing #fuck that #he’s 19 rich kid #he knows exactly what he's doing #they made their decisions to go into that death tube to go to a mass grave of working class and immigrants #these billionaires have contributed to the climate crisis #the so called kid #would have one day also have become another rich person sucking the life out of the world #so fuck him and fuck the rest of them #let the sea take their souls #it is their retribution for the souls of immigrants and working people they have taken #oceangate #titan #titanic

All the advertising I saw for Elemental:

Check out this wacky adventure between a fire person and a water person! A Tree Child Flirts with her! LOL! HEY LOOK CLOUD PEOPLE! *cartoon spring and honking noises*

Me: I don’t… want to watch that. Oh well, that’s fine.

Me actually watching it:

Oh wait, it’s a story of an immigrant family who come with nothing and build a community for themselves and their people and the weight of debt you feel to your parents who sacrificed for you to succeed but the way that that success sometimes isn’t what you want and how parental love can feel conditional when there’s a lack of clear communication and—

Me getting to the end: SHE BOWED AND HE BOWED BACK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦🌊🌊🌊🌊🚿🚿🚿

#elemental #elemental spoilers #listen fucking Disney being brought in to advertise and then take over Pixar was a FUCKING MISTAKE #but also the surprise was ok #It was layered #you had the racism #you have the prejudice #you have the rich kid but who’s family is in touch with their emotions #so he connects to people at an emotional level #you have the very ah Asian coded family who came with nothing but their blue fire and strong spirit #who build a place for themselves AND their community #you get the aging parents who want you to continue with their legacy #that heavy debt on their kid’s shoulders #but also get her missing the meaning of their love and effects on #just #I’m getting emotional thinking about it again #anyway #I made it through the movie and then cried at the bow #so Pixar wins another point for once again making me cry #it’s been a while but they get that one #oh also look at who directed it #this person does?? everything? voice acts animates and now directs? #what can’t they do? #also obviously no shame to anyone who does like whacky adventures with cartoon honking like those are totally fun and cool #I just wasn’t in the mood for that kind of thing at the moment

thinking about how bad went through all the stages of grief the first few days the eggs were gone, and then ended on revenge, before kidnapping and torturing a worker. how today with tina that’s most of what he talked about - not just getting the eggs back, but how once they’re back he’s still not going to rest until he’s taken revenge on everyone involved. it does not matter who, so long as they had a hand in it, they’re already condemned.

this is something he views as necessary. he doesn’t pretend it isn’t a gruesome, destructive task, he doesn’t pretend like it isn’t scary to those who may witness this. he keeps returning to this one comparison, this common metaphor, in that of forest maintenance. fire is destructive, and terrifying, but controlled burns are healthy, and necessary, to keep the ecosystem of a forested area healthy and thriving. it keeps brush build up down, contributes to a rich top soil. saving the trees by burning the forest, as he said to foolish. as he said to tina.

and there is nothing he would not do to get his children back. a very limited list on those he wouldn’t throw into the flames without question or remorse - and even those on the list are in a hierarchy. he’s made it clear to this limited list of people that there is a lot that is expendable, so long as it gets him closer to reaching his son and daughter. the worker in his basement, while no longer one he sees as needing to take vengeance on, is easily expendable. a lot of members on the island are expendable. so long as he does not love them, and they are not necessary in this task, they are expendable. and in the scheme of things, he himself is expendable. any cost is worth the price, so long as he gets his kids back to safety.

he keeps keeps using this metaphor - burning the forest to save the trees, controlled burning to better the ecosystem. but it’s no secret he’s somewhat delusional, and an unreliable narrator at the best of times. and as meticulous as he is, as cautious and careful as he is, fire is tricky to control, as it is tempting. this is no controlled burn - its scorched earth. and he does not care if he himself is caught in the blaze, so long as everything he wants burned to the ground is reduced to ash and dust.

#he’s starting the fire with no intentions of leaving the forest yknow. controlled burns don’t work if you’re not being safe #they don’t work if you burn yourself too #I have more thoughts on how the people who have heard this have reacted to it but. maybe a repost or smth #I’m just. I watched Tina’s stream tonight and I’m going through it man what the fuck #I’m making ​another post abt how he is treating himself through all this too it’s just like. different theme different post to be made idk #I’m throwing up though bad why would you do this #mcyt #qsmp #q!bbh #bbh #character analysis #z speaks

If five pebbles was ever built for zephyr the same way he was built for moon, would he ever see her as a mentor?

i imagine that he'd!!! be more open with her than he is with Moon, because their personalities match better. Zephyr isn't really the doting, overprotective kind. She didn't have the chance to learn how to be affectionate and warm even though she wishes she could be and she needs to watch her own systems like a hawk 24/7 so she ain't got the attention to spare to nag at him even if she wanted to. they'd end up bonding over their anger at the injustice of the Iterators' fate, though

Pebs would probably take someone else as Mentor™ (she wouldn't be capable of fullfilling the expectations of that role), but he'd probably still look up to her a lot. she'd be like. a not-the-title mentor in the specific field of being angry at their situation and doing Something about it

#Spot says stuff #rain world #rw #oc tag #oc: abet zephyr #this scenario is such a headscratcher cuz like- zephyr is kept a secret from the public out of shame of the higher ups of her condition #not as a Person mind you but as a waste of resources. girl cant even Iterate because shes so broken. she cant do the One thing shes made- #-to do. oh what a shame. what a stain on our maps. the ancients never put Any effort into fixing her so making an entire Iterator right- #-next to her whos secondary goal is to Help her? unimaginable in canon. shed hate it because she thinks of herself as a lost cause #and now this poor kid has to deal with being Made for this lost cause. no matter what he does he will never be able to help her enough #it will be forever an itch and a heartbreak that cannot be mended #born directly into constant trauma just like her. instead of fixing Her they brought another life into this. she hates it so so much. #but pebbles himself shed fucking Love. hes her little perfectly self-sufficient boy and shed fucking throw hands with Suns for him #srry for the rambling these two combo'd together live rent free in me brain

i love makoto so much but fanon does her so much better (the good parts of the fandom) because in the game her character is so lack luster. they butchered her confidant it is so borning and not even about her. they made her a cop. A COP. they pushed this "canon waifu" role onto her (before sumire came along and did it Even Worse). and it SUCKS because SHE IS SO MUCH MORE!!! SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! SHE COULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER!!! the way i feel about canon makoto is the same way i feel about the canon ryuji events post komoshida where he's horribly mistreated and used purely as comic relief: i ignore them <3 my game now <3 never happened <3 my ocs <3

You are so right. I generally apply this to all characters in p5 bc the game does such a shit job of staying consistent with character arcs and personalities. Theres a desperate need to throw in perverse jokes at the expense of female characters and a need to show that the police (as a whole) are reliable people who are not influenced by things like money and power; only the BAD cops do that. Not to mention this obvious fatphobia and homophobia but i feel likes thats a given.

But back to Makoto. Shes a victim of bad writing just like everyone else. Ryuji during the kamoshida arc was fighting with self loathing and genuine anxiety, and aside from the like. One comment on Panthers outfit in the metaverse, hes more than well behaved. All of that is shelved as soon as Kamoshida is gone and replaced with him being weird comic relief (and the focus of alot of sexual jokes that were nonexistent in the beginning of the game). Anns arc about self love and empowerment is completely dropped as soon as the nasty bad guy is put away (so that its good to be weird about her w the Good Guys). Makoto loses her a chunk of her personality to be the mature waifu which is INSANE to me bc shes like. Not okay or normal at all 😭😭😭 she THINKS shes responsible and so does everyone else on her team, but its an act! She doesnt know shit! And she doesnt know that she doesnt know shit bc shes respectful and adults dont care about anything as long as u respect them!

Its very telling that for literally every single thief (and goro), you can see the exact moment the writers gave up on adding anything of worth to their characters outside of the social links. Its like they didnt know what to even do w the characters at their disposal after their main arcs were complete. No mention of friends hanging out without you, no mention of having group hangouts. Everyone is treated as a core, important member of the friend group DURING their arc, but outside of it, they are acquaintances at best. Theres nothing in the game that convinces you that these guys are legitimately friends who care for each other and do Friend Things. And i describe it like that bc there IS a game that treats them all as friends, and its strikers! Strikers/Scramble genuinely feels like the game p5 wanted to be; a road trip w your team where they stay up at night talking to each other and hanging out and doing things together that dont necessarily include you, the player. Its refreshing and lovely but it sucks that u get that kind of attention to detail in a ‘spinoff’ title

#chattin #i hesitate to use spinoff bc its a pretty big game #and theres an amazing plot with wonderful characterization #and their handling of jails and jail owners is LEAGUES better than the bs they tried to make up w palace users #and all the thieves feel like family. and not in the annoying fandom way; like #were family in the same way a family is forged and tended to. i love you. no one is left behind. no one is made to feel inferior another #its really good and honestly if u want more interactions between everyone i really recommend a playthrough #but yeah #p5 sucks #i love it but i love the version of it i made in my head LMAO #maybe p5r did a better job w the dialogue and some questionable scenes #(i wouldnt know. i didnt play it lol) #so maybe thats what people need to be using as a point of reference #but i only plyed p5 so this is what i have; a group of people who show up for meetings and then go about their life #and that kinda sucks. why make this wholly unique experience in which these teens can only relate to each other #make them bonded over their shared experience w this unbelievable world #and then not only make them NOT interact; but have the end be ‘okay by akira.’ and leave it at that #they just. didnt know what to do w anyone #they needed their girls to be waifubait and the boys to be an afterthought #they needed a buffet of older woman for pathetic men to fuck through their self insert #and they needed a story convoluted enough to keep people stuck trying to figure it out themselves #its bad. its so bad. its so fucking bad. but i have to be here. WE have to be here. #bc who else is going to take these characters out of hell and treat them right ??!!!

I'm so proud of myself about finances in the past couple months. I still struggle with money but I did enough meditation and journaling and practicing about it to make myself able to actually face my loans and credit cards and savings and bills and start really truly organizing and addressing them for the first time in years instead of just flying by the seat of my pants.

Like. This is a huge deal for me. I've felt like I'm in deadly danger every time I've tried to think about money for years and years. I'm finally able to look it in the face and stare it down and start to organize and plan on purpose instead of just keeping up with the minimum to stay afloat. I'm so proud of myself.

It's still a refrain of "GUILT (funny link)" every time I think about money but I'm able to actually make spreadsheets and face the numbers and monthly tracking again, and even make a new full budget which I haven't been able to do in ages.

still feel guilt, overwhelm, and helplessness, but no longer feel as much deep elemental shame and terror. that's progress baby

#we don't need to talk about how many months and months of therapy visits and doctor appointments I put on credit cards #among other things #but I had to put my foot down about it a couple months ago and shout at myself a little saying HEY #I AM SHAKING YOU BY THE SHOULDERS I AM SHOUTING FOR YOU TO HEAR #OF COURSE IT WAS A TERRIBLE FINANCIAL DECISION BUT YOU WEREN'T EVEN EXPECTING TO BE ALIVE #THE CREDIT CARD DEBT WAS NECESSARY TO KEEP YOU ALIVE AND IT DID AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS WAY LESS IMPORTANT THAN THAT #why the FUCK are you feeling SO ASHAMED for making the best decision you knew how to make at the time??? #just because you know NOW that you could have tried some other options doesn't mean you did THEN #you may have known enough to feel shame and guilt yes but you would never in a million years have gotten the help you needed fast enough #by attempting to go another route #you didn't trust anyone besides a very few handfuls of people and even them it wasn't fully #and the stress of running it through parental insurance was so terrifying to you bc you didn't know what that would do #and you never had cosigners for anything your whole adult life. it's OKAY #you fucking DID YOUR BEST #YOU HAVE LEARNED.

[chirpsythismorning]

I just remembered they devoted a whole scene to Mike and Will burying a dead body for no reason other than to poke fun at—

#byler #they said cliche gay tropes #we raise you mocking those tropes subtly through the plot #like did they really need to devote a whole scene to burying a dead body? #they could have left dude laying anywhere #could’ve just stored him in one of the trunks in the junkyard #it wouldn’t have made any difference #fucking argyle joked about just writing their names on the makeshift gravestone #the scene was treated like a joke instead of them seriously needing to bury the body for safety reasons #it was a way to joke about how many viewers think Will is going to die #and follow the same trope every gay main character in mainstream media has before #where YAY they give us a gay character and get some brownie points from queer fans #only to kill the character off to appease the homophobes who make up the majority and would rather not have to actually watch a queer story #and the duffers are essentially saying #lmaooooo fuck that #and having it be both Mike and Will most prominently in this scene… #another fuck you to those saying that this love story is unrequited like every other story before it #they’re laughing at y’all!!! #y’all as in ppl that are predicting the most cliche ending to the story #like do you think they would poke fun at a trope that favors straight characters over gay ones… #only have a storyline that does just that? #the correct answer is no

TOH is so incredibly fanficy, despite being an original show.

I really won't get over how they made Huntlow a thing and wasted a full hourish episode to make it happen.

Frankly, it's nbd for Willow to date someone by the time the story ends. Her dating someone doesn't kneecap her story. But Hunter dating her definitely kneecaps his, because Willow is not relevant to the whole Caleb/Evelyn and Philip drama like Luz is.

It makes no sense, from a narrative standpoint, to have Hunter like Willow. It feels like they really wanted to give Willow a love interest and Hunter was the only option they had to work with.

With Hunter it's like... him getting a witch love interest is something that pretty much needs to happen from a narrative standpoint.... but Willow isn't that LI. The only character who fits Evelyn's themes is Luz. He and Luz are the "Caleb" and "Evelyn" in this story - no other character's fit these roles like they do.

"But TOH is a tragedy -"

"But TOH is a subversion of romantic-"

TBH I really don't want to hear how TOH is a romantic tragedy or a subversion of romantic expectations because... it isn't. I have read romantic tragedies and subversions and this isn't paced like either. They also put a whole ass Lunter kiss in a spoiler episode, so I really don't think they were planning on making TOH a subversion of romantic expectations or writing Luz's and Hunter's romance as a tragic one.

See, this pairing is extremely confusing to me, because if they actually were planning on Hunter and Willow being a thing from the beginning and not Hunter and Luz, then Willow would have been written into all of Luz's and Hunter's episodes - which just so happen to be his important character arc moments [ST, HP and HM].

But... they don't do that, like at all lmao. I'm also not a fan of Hunter's friendship with Willow and Gus, but that's a discussion for another time.

#toh critical #going to the human realm was a mistake but I ''forgave'' TTT because it brought the Caleb/Evelyn and Philip murder drama to the forefront #and had the set-up for Hunter and Luz [Caleb and Evelyn] to be the ones who kick Philip's ass in the Climax #but then it goes off of the fucking RAILS to make Hunter and Willow a thing and it's like #I want to put Dana and company in petri dishes bc what the hell is going on lmao. Why did you guys want Huntlow to be a thing #anyways. I will never watch another show where Dana is on the writing team bc she is a fanfic girlie #btw there's nothing wrong with fanfic. it's just that when I watch a cartoon from a world renowned studio #i expect the writing to not be fanficy. on an unrelated note... #i still think its funny how Hunter has made more of an effort to make amends with Willow and Gus for his screw up #than Amity has in two whole seasons.

Your body isn't meant to do anything beyond housing you, and it's really harrowing how many people don't recognize this.

It's harrowing how people talk about how bodies must "serve a purpose", to be little more than breeding stock. That if your body doesn't serve a purpose - serve the right purpose - that it is, essentially, a "useless body"

You are a human being. You aren't breeding stock. You aren't a sounding board for other peoples' desires. You aren't a "worthless body". Your body houses you, and beyond that? That is up to you.

#biological essentialism #hate how people use this for trans/intersex/disabled bodies. like the fact we exist means maybe (just maybe) your theory is wrong #that nature isn't this divine god who makes you either right or wrong and if it made you wrong then you shouldn't exist #maybe applying humanistic ideas to the concept of being born or nature is like... not a good framework #like. y'all see what biology does? it's fucking bananas. it's the wild fucking west out there amd that applies to humans #i dunno. this is just another shot of thoughts about a topic that deeply affects not only myself but so many people i love #eugenics tw

people will really just say the most transphobic shit and hide it behind the label "white transmasc" like that automatically makes it not transphobic

#transphobia #transandrophobia #its one thing to rightfully criticize the privilege and ignorant behavior of a group #as always its necessary to call out bad behavior as you see it #regardless of who its about #but its another thing to just start saying demeaning and despicable shit #just because you think pretending its about a certain group exempts you from being bigoted #saying that “white transmascs are inherently transmisogynistic because theyre men” IS fucked up #saying that “white transmascs need to stop crying and whining about their made up oppression” is ALSO fucked up #and neither of these statements are truly just about white transmascs #youre just being a weirdo and attempting to be socially acceptable about it #(should also mention these are both REAL statements ive heard being said)
