BioWare, 2007: the antagonists in THIS story are going to take normal citizens and turn them into monsters!
BioWare, 2009: okay, time to make a fantasy game. Hm… oh, I know! How about the antagonists take normal citizens and turn them into monsters!
BioWare, 2017: alright, we really have to make this story unique. We’re in a whole new galaxy for crying out loud… what if… the antagonists take normal citizens and turn them into monsters!

there are people who were seriously surprised when they saw how bad Tori's mental health was in the last pages of Solitaire, like...
she's literally thinking she wants to die at any given moment, she feels guilty about so many things that shouldn't make her feel guilty (and it affects her A LOT), she has said so many times she doesn't feel worthy, she has a lot of SH and self hatred thoughts, her own brain literally manipulates the way she sees other people for her to not get attached and with it being easier to not be disappointed (even though she ends up getting disappointed anyways, obviously)
it's seriously like we didn't even read the same book or smth

for anyone wondering about current public opinion on trans ppl in the uk, tories have #boycottcostacoffee trending on twitter bc this mural put on a random costa express van for brighton pride last year shows a person w/ top surgery scars and apparantly thats 'glorifying the irreversible mutilation of young women's bodies', so yeah, we're doing great (:

‘LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) - The British government's decision to allow companies to hire agency staff to cover for striking workers was overturned on Thursday by London's High Court, who upheld a legal challenge by 13 trade unions that it was unlawful.
The change to regulations last year, during an ongoing wave of disputes over pay and conditions, made it easier for businesses to use temporary staff during industrial action.
But the 13 unions, which represent around three million workers, argued Britain is breaching union rights with the regulations, which they say could worsen industrial disputes and endanger public safety.’

hey
do yall know any genuine rose tyler stans that are actually upset about how s1 rose was treated as an equal AND a love interest but as soon as s2-s4 rose was treated more as a equal BECAUSE of her being pideonholed as only a 'i can do things too! see!' archetype of love interests that it took two other characters to be treated as an actual equal? like why did ten thru donna said that he needs an equal and that what the dr needs an equal??
rose was already an equal in season 1. its established bts that rose was an equal to ninth doctor? but now why didn't that sentiment continued on with ten? what happened?
like martha is treated like an actual equal because the dr in the past have always hated themselves, reflected back at them, but still shared the joy and comradarie during a joint adventure with said version of self. like even the time lord victorious two parter book - 8 was flirting and 10 flirted back but at the end of the day - both of em can carry themselves without the arrival of the other, leaving the eyerolling and mild disgust or disinterest aspect to ninth dr when he shared a room with them. like the dr not wanting to "date" martha even though he literally in text trying real hard to pull the wool in both ur qnd his own eyes is essentially him trying not to fuck himself.
donna is - in an almost wish-fufilled in what the dr missed from the master - considered an equal preestablished since season 3 guest appeared and fully in season 4. shes seen as a pea in the pod like the dr master rani and romana - keeping up with that specific lot of em without going thru the 'but im better than you' alien egoist rhetoric that the time lords fall to in times of upper handedness. she can manipulate she talk fast she tech-savvy yet people-grounded BUT she makes sure the respect isnt temporary and doesnt lord it over people because everyone is great and without that person, the whole system can fall apart.
because so far, it doesnt feel that way. like are yall not mad that tenth doctor gave rose up?
after seasons of build up and getting shot and everything? the funky alien eldritch being in a mask of an earth lookin boy that had a chance to man up and show feelings when the opportunity is very in your face given to him to do so in a space where he could do so and — he just gave her up? all that moping and whining and when given what he wanted, he just went: no. here. i need an equal and i have donna so im giving you what i TEN think you want as an equal in me and thats him. BUT NINEROSE ARE EQUALS SHE NEVER SAID SHE WANTED HIM HUMAN BUT RATHER HIMSELF AS HE IS.
its like fridging rose but worse. in s2-4 you made her in memory of someone else that ALWAYS treated her as an equal instead of actually continuing on with that with the next face. death wouldve been more forgiving and thats not a great thing to come to a conclusion to. The one that really treated you as both a love interest AND equal is dead, and now you're married to the discarded imitation of the one that only typecasted you as a love interest.
tentoo should be mad abt this too but this aint about him, this is about yall and the rose tyler connundrum.
i wouldve settled for her having the hand - settling for the hand if that hand turned into ninth doctor (like full on christopher eccleston doing donna impression everything) instead of what we got - which was dust. it made more sense that way. because then the dialogue narrative - the doctor's excuse - wouldve been more well recieved. Does it need saying would have more weight if Eccleston played a NineToo whispered i love you because you know it was well meant. Genuine. Its coming from someone that always treated you as an equal and also getting that i love you and not just - oh the human i love. i miss them not because i treated them on equal terms, its strictly because i only love them - no equality at all
like yeah chris wasnt going to return but hes a movie actor - hes used to green screen. he couldve sent a video message in a leather jacket and let it be done. like we couldve had nine saying i love you to rose on doomsday like do you get what im trying to say like. like tooth and claw if it was nine and rose both wouldve been like 'oh look at that a werewolf transformation!' And not what. we got. LIKE DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN

It's the way you guys will call George a 'tory' so comfortably only to forget that Lando's the rich one who went to a boarding school. Funny fact: Articulate speech doesn't mean being Tory and being posh doesn't mean being a Tory and going to boarding school doesn't mean being a Tory, wearing a hunting costume doesn't mean being a Tory.
