Okay, so I like imagining what Twelve was doing in his browser history by imagining that he just got really into various niche/strange hobbies.
Mostly I do this by just projecting my own hobbies, because obviously - was his browser history full of No Man's Sky (embarrassing because why would a time and space traveller want to play a video game about space travel when you can do the real thing?) Or maybe it was full of very specific opinions about mechanical keyboards? Or honestly any social media account I think would be something the Doctor would be embarrassed enough about to discourage people seeing, but not so much as to be genuinely uncomfortable, which matches the tone of those jokes in the show.
But I also enjoy mermaiding as a hobby, and though I haven't been swimming recently (winter + chlorinated pools + dry skin = agony), the idea would not let go so here we are:
I suddenly got overwhelmed with the urge to draw Johann in gaiters! 😳
Hes a priest so I don't know why he would wear these, to my understanding they were mostly worn by huntsmen and soldiers to protect their boots. Maybe he can wear them when he goes out to collect supplies for his (forbidden) research 👁👁 Also, for context, Johann lodges at Séverine's shop so she doesn't want his dour appearance scaring off customers lol
Not sure what comments he refers to, cause I didn't see the chat. But probably from the tiktok live chat. It's also not the first time he had to say this during lives. It's the third time for me witnessing it live but I don't catch all his lives so idk.
I love that he does say something when it bothers him but it sucks that he has to.
The fact that he says it in english means it's english comments. But I think he said it in thai afterwards too. After that he changed topic and only reacted to thai comments. Which is good that he doesn't linger on the negativity of people.
That one time it was a "fan" (rather a troll) who thought she will get attention if she spams him that she hates him (she came out about it on xitter later). Net gets such stupid comments too. Might be trolls but there are also "fans" out there hating on both of them for not fulfilling fanservice or hanging out with each other 24/7.
I am begging fans to think before posting such stuff. Even if it's meant as just a joke. Like the "I hate him" joke in an affectionate (I love him) way among us fans is like a meme, but they might not get that context in a random comment in a chat or on social media.
There was no way I wasn't going to do this, literally the scene is at a level of drama worthy of any good telenovela so I HAD to do it OKAY?! ESPECIALLY SYNCHRONIZE THE "Olvídate todo que tú para eso tienes experiencia" with the whole flashbacks of Rin's abandonment, AYY IT'S JUST SO FITTING IM SCREAMING
Anyways, here's a little translation to give some context:
Olvídame y Pega la Vuelta- Pimpinela (fragmento)
Forget me and Go Away by Pimpinela (snipett)
who is it?
it's me...
what are you looking for?
you...
now, it's too late
why?
because now I am the one who wants to be without you
for this reason, go, forget my name, my face, my home and go away
I never managed to understand you...
leave me, forget my eyes, my hands, my lips, that they do not want you
you are lying, I know it...
leave me, forget that i exist, that you knew me, and do not be surprised,
forget everything that you have experience in that...
And yeah its basically a break up/ love resentment song,the classics for a latin american mother who want to sing along something while cleaning the house and exactly what this scene is about am i right?
On the one hand I genuinely wish more ND representation were human and think the conversation about how a majority of neurodivergent-coded characters are non-human is one worth having... on the other no fictional character will ever be more Autism Creature than this motherfucker
i know the Willow Mellow lore gets worse the longer you dig inside of it + it reflects even Worse on the writers when you put the actual words on her situation but let's not forget Darlings she is a child. she is 15 to 17yo depending on what piece of documentation we refer to, too young to consent to sex and therefore does not fit the category of "sex worker", and instead falls under the definitions of "sexually exploited youth", more specifically "sexually exploited child", as UNICEF, UNESCO, Convention for the Rights of the Child, [...] and general common sense all define "child" as "person under the age of 18".
she is the victim of kidnapping by her """adoptive father""" and of sexual exploitation by her (presumably adult) "clients" (as she does not appear to have a pimp, and is instead written saying she loves what she does and such giddy teehee fun. [powerful side-eye through someone in the writing team.] [she's not a Real Person I have to stress, so someone wrote her like this, wrote this kid like this.] [it is all part of a narrative in which she is struggling to shake off her "father's" exploitation, an inherently tragic one, but she still was written that way, and could have been written any other way, with any other "rebellious" act]).
calling her a sex worker as a child who is basically the same age as P2 Capella or Grace is putting her in a Grown-Up category especially harmful considering we are supposed to read her as an indigenous girl, member of the Kin (even if her lore is Mysterious and Hazy) and indigenous women and girls are sexualized in racialized ways which often paint them as more ~~~naturally~~~ sexually liberated, or docile, or submissive, or [insert racist x sexist stereotype promoted by colonizers to excuse the mistreatment of indigenous women and girls].
tldr yes it's worse when you actually call her what she actually is, and worse tenfold when you read what the writers make her say about it [even as an inherently tragic situation that we can recognize and put words on (hence this post), she could have been written any other way, with any other rebellious act, but you know.] but you know x2 (SIDE-EYES SOMEONE ON THE WRITING TEAM VERY HARD TIL ME EYES POP OUT ME SKULL)
