yes, henry cavill leaving is sad BUT if it has to happen I want the show to lean into the ridiculousness of the main character changing faces mid story.

like, I want jaskier to see liam!geralt for the first time, do a double take and then spend an entire episode being like "you look different. did you do something to your hair? are you wearing contacts? is that a new jerkin? oh I know, you lost some weight, didn't you!" while geralt keeps insisting nothing changed

#henry cavill #liam hemsworth #the witcher #the witcher netflix #the witcher recast #twn recast #geralt of rivia #jaskier #jaskier is supposed to be the audience insert! let him poke fun at the media he is in!!!

Ten, Fourteen, and Fifteen - Romance and Emotional Expression

Ok. I want to talk about something intriguing me for a while. For a long time, I was under the perception that Ten was very romantic and very flirtatious. And I think the reason I had this idea is because out of all of the modern incarnations, he was more often placed in romantic situations. Rose, Madame de Pompadour, Martha had a crush on him, often got flirted with by random people, and even got married to Liz 1. But this perception is ultimately inaccurate because it doesn’t take into account what Ten thinks about these situations: in every single situation there is some level of barrier either naturally there, or one he put up himself.

Despite loving her, The Doctor doesn't share aspects of his life with Rose, like past companions. He balked at saying “I love you” to her on two separate occasions. He cared deeply about her, yet still didn’t feel comfortable sharing all of the heartbreak and pain he’s had to carry.  

Having MDP inside his head and hearing River say his name back to him visibly terrified him. Martha was obviously a dud, his proposal to Elizabeth 1 was on suspicion of her being a Zygon (he literally jetted out after marrying her), and the times we do see people flirting with him, he normally either doesn’t react or reacts awkwardly. 

"Considering my enemy has such a...handsome shape." "Now, that's one form of magic that's definitely not gonna work on me."

"You should see me in the mornings." "Ok." is visibly stunned at Astrid's implications

This collective amnesia the fandom used to harbor towards this topic is similar to that of the Doctor’s own philosophy about the topic. We see the surface-level attempts that ultimately act as a smokescreen to the truth: that the Doctor’s trauma and PTSD from the Time War prohibit them from being emotionally vulnerable. Donna, who we’ll get to later, nails this on the head: “You talk all the time, but you don’t say anything.” Because to love someone else romantically, even to entertain the idea via flirtation, means accepting the possibility of having someone else seeing you in all of your flattering and unflattering ways. The Doctor wasn’t ready for that yet, still steeped in the guilt of all the things they had to do in the war.

Fast forward thousands of years, 3 regenerations, and things have changed. In an attempt to cope with yet another traumatic event, The Doctor returns to the old face of Ten. But as we see throughout the specials, this attempt to cope (or more accurately avoid their trauma) doesn’t work, because the Doctor is trying to slip back into an identity that they can’t perform anymore. When Fourteen comments on how attractive Isaac Newton is, it surprises him because that action is not something Ten would’ve done. It’s that weird feeling you get when you look at a photograph of yourself when you were younger. The Doctor can’t love someone in the semi-detached way he did with Rose, because Twelve spent 24 years loving River. The Doctor is no longer drowning in the guilt caused by the Time War, a pillar of Ten’s self-perception because they saved it.  And in all honesty, The Doctor internally doesn’t even want to do so anymore. 

Donna is vital to this contrast between Ten and Fourteen simply down to her relationship with the Doctor: best friends. I made a full explanation about the significance of Donna in my dissertation about The Giggle’s ending here x, but to sum up: Donna is The Doctor’s most important relationship because she truly understands what it means to be The Doctor simply down her ability to empathize and relate to how they feel. However, one aspect of their dynamic that I didn’t go into, and one that has already been pointed out by many people, is that their relationship is inherently non-romantic. Donna and The Doctor are best friends. There’s no possibility of them becoming an item, and this in an oxymoronic way, makes her the perfect companion to cultivate a more romantically open Doctor. Donna acts as a mental safety net for Fourteen, allowing him to feel comfortable openly expressing attraction to other people as the basis of their friendship is based on a deep sense of love and support that isn’t romantic. Fourteen doesn’t feel afraid or scared to express his love because he already has a stable place of love to return to. An idea that Donna correctly points out in The Giggle: “You changed your face. And you found me. Do you know why? [...] To come home.”

This environment of stable love is what led Fourteen to eventually change into Fifteen. But it gets better.

You see, as I was watching Church on Ruby Road, there was something about Fifteen’s entire attitude that felt familiar to me. Specifically the open flirtation with Cherry (a marked contrast from Jackie and Nine). It was only in rewatching Utopia recently that it clicked. it was similar to Jack. See, the way I’ve always read Jack’s style of flirting is in appreciation of beauty as a whole. He flirts with everyone because he sees everyone as beautiful and feels comfortable telling them that. And you know who famously rubbed against that? The Doctor, Nine but also Ten.

The Doctor may have been uncomfortable with Jack’s flirting because he couldn’t possibly imagine being so open with expressing attraction of any kind, due to being so broken and traumatized after the Time War. But now The Doctor has worked through that enough to where they can be more comfortable expressing their emotions and their feelings. This is most perfectly encapsulated with Cherry but also, funnily enough, the moment with the police officer. Fifteen identifies that the officer has a girlfriend, and proceeds to spell out how much the man loves her and how he believes that love will be reciprocated. He makes this complete stranger feel happy and beautiful by reaffirming the love he feels towards his girlfriend. Fifteen wears his two hearts on his sleeve and feels perfectly comfortable making other people feel beautiful in flirtatious and non-flirtatious ways. He is a bonafide romantic in both senses of the word: 

1. conductive to or characterized by the expression of love.

2. of, characterized by, or suggestive of an idealized view of reality.

And to wrap all of this up in a neat bow, this wraps all the way back to how each incarnation was initially brought into the world. It’s said in the show that the first relationship a new incarnation has ends up being their most important, the most defining of their existence. Eleven’s was Amy, Twelve’s was Clara.

Ten’s was Rose, in that she was the first person he saw, but also that the reason he existed was to solely save her (Nine taking the Time Vortex out of her with a kiss). Ten was born out of love felt between two people, and as such tied so much of his self-perception to that type of dynamic. Not just in that once Rose was gone, but once he was without any second person in the TARDIS, he started spiraling into madness. Ten existed because of romantic love, but he couldn’t entirely express it due to his trauma, yet without any level of companionship, he deteriorated. A tragic paradox.

Fifteen was born from not only familial/platonic love cultivated by years spent with Donna, Wilf, Mel, Rose, Shaun, and Sylvia, but also love from himself. The Doctor didn’t repeat the (albeit understandable) mistake of taking on an outgrown identity because they finally felt safe enough to make that change. The first face Fifteen saw was Fourteen, The Doctor who looked upon his younger, scared, broken self with glee, empathy, and love. Fifteen’s love knows no restriction, whether that’s self-loathing, or fear of being known by others. 

Ten was born from Eros (romantic/sexual love) despite not allowing himself to feel it, Fourteen was supported by Storge (family/friendship love), so Fifteen can embody Agape (love of humanity) sustained by Philautia (self-love).

Furiosa Trailer Analysis - Bullet Farm Edition

In the 2022 book "Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max Fury Road," Kyle Buchanan interviewed the cast and crew about the making of "Fury Road" and the future of the "Mad Max" franchise. Here's what was said about "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

According to "Fury Road" production manager Dean Hood, we'll be seeing the Bullet Farm. We may have already gotten a glimpse in the trailer that's been released.

Most attention has been placed on this image of Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) getting bullet bukkake'd pelted by a stream of ammunition while hanging over a pit of fire.

Here's the most detailed concept art we have of the Bullet Farm, found in the "Art of Mad Max: Fury Road" by Abbie Bernstein. It's basically a pit, surrounded by a berm that's topped by a track and some guard towers. The landscape is punctuated with towers and cranes. Now for the trailer footage.

My money's on this being the Bullet Farm.

#mad max #furiosa #furiosa a mad max saga #bullet farm #bullet farmer #anya taylor joy #chris hemsworth #please GOD let the bullet farmer recast be good #no one is richard carter but i hope he's blorbo worthy #should i have posted this on richardcarterfans? probably! am i too lazy to log into that account? absolutely!

recently thinking about the tcwg episode where mochis mob spell finally starts running out. apparently its maximum possible usage is 10 years (which they find out from pom) and appearently tiramisu put it on her too soon,,... when they ask her she says "Oh...you were such a cute kid I didn't want to wait too long!!" while pinching her cheeks, and suddenly theres a few more people at school who are like "Hey...I never really noticed but...Mochi is kinda pretty, huh?"

for the people who start to notice, they chalk it up to "Maybe she hit puberty late...?" or something, but regardless she has 1 or 2 more people actually ask her out, and lime starts to realize how much it bothers him

#text #bpp #lore #she is....not used to it #mayhaps let this be the moment lime realizes #the pitcher on the baseball team one day standing next to lime and goes (So....mochi doesnt have a boyfriend right?) #and lime takes a very long pause #(technically no but first of all what the hell? no one ever notices her. and second of all i feel sick to my stomach) -lime thoughts #pom: it should be fine. youre almost graduated so you dont have to deal with it much longer #and mochi trying to grapple with the idea that some people actually think shes pretty #(besides her mom and coco. theyre the only people who tell her and she thinks theyre being nice) #shes like (i think theyre lying...) #(they are definately not lying) -lime thoughts again #only like 2 people have enough bravery. the others are like (shit shes limes girl though....how am i supposed to compete with that) #the mob spell is op but only for a little while #and after it runs out it cant be recast on the same person #lime didnt realize that she doesnt think shes pretty at all #when that guy confesses to her the first thing she says is (you...think im pretty?) #coco oscar and lime all hovering outside the classroom listening

i was so excited about the shadow levels and what stuff from his backstory that we could see and black doom being the main villain that for a moment i lived in a world where the worst voice actor shadow has ever had wasnt still in the role

#NOTHING AGIANST THE GUY idk anythign about him and i think hes a good va for other characters hes just not my shadow #maybe if he has better material to work with he'll sound better i dont know .... #but i wouldlove to see david or jason come back. or maybe even the guy who voiced him in prime #actually i think david has shown interest in coming back to the sonic franchise if sega would let him. let him in please #i doubt they would do a recast for this specific game though #because i remember for sonic colors ultimate and all content related to it they used the exact same voice cast as sonic colors #even if a couple recasts have happened between colors and colors ultimate #so. im sure theyre still going to want that voice consistency here and arent going to give shadow a different va from sonic generations

i’m so sad that after all the trauma he has endured ben is finally in a good place with a loving husband and family and he’s had THERAPY for god’s sake and has a positive future for once and is played by someone who loves the character and cares about him and does such and amazing fucking job and now just like that he’s gonna be gone

#literally what the fucking fuck #i had so much hope for him going forward but nope #and i’m sorry but a recast won’t work with ballum and at this point max is ben sorry not sorry #PLEASE let the only good thing about this be that they leave together #so many ‘long standing’ cast members would literally get away with murder and ee would still employ them

okay see the upside of things is that the season was left very open ended, so it's practically begging for fanworks to fill in the gaps. the downside is that we'll all be so used to fic that when ahsoka season two isn't the tv equivalent of a 200k slowburn people are gonna be disappointed

#plus unless they recast baylan i could really see them committing shin to an antagonist role rather than a redemption arc #but anyway! let's live in delusion until then :) #wolfwren #ahsoka #star wars #*

I am gonna say tho, really disappointed it seems like OJ isn't going to get another speaking role ever. I was really hoping they'd recast him.

#Let's just hope sometime in the future they do recast him though #inanimate insanity #object posting #I don't think I need to tag this as spoilers? #II oj #I like him and I'm sad about it

Well I have officially watched the Mario movie and I cannot believe I'm saying this but................ Chris Pratt was not the worst member of the cast.

Anya Taylor Joy was TERRIBLE as Peach. Her delivery for her lines never changed, she was flat and generic and BORING every single time she spoke. Peach was literally only cool when she wasn't fucking talking. Genuinely rolled my eyes a few times when she spoke.

Don't get me wrong, though, Pratt still wasn't that good. He was at his best when he was playing off of Luigi, Toad, and Donkey Kong. The other roles helped to lift him up. By himself he was definitely floundering and pretty flat. (I'm pretty sure they re-used one of his screams like 3 times in the movie, too. Which I found really odd. Did they not get enough takes? Why the same scream three times? It wasn't even a funny scream.)

Jack Black and Charlie Day both absolutely killed it. They were both fantastic. Jack Black was funny AND menacing. We knew he would kill it, though. Jack Black is a king. And Charlie Day gave probably the most "poor little meow meow" performance I've heard in a while lmao. 🤣

Charles Martinet was easy to pick out in the side characters. I wanted to cry as soon as I heard him. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU, KING!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU!!!!!!

#Mario movie #Charles Martinet #IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU #Jack Black #Bowser #Charlie Day #Luigi #Mario #Princess Peach #She was awful you guys #She sounded like every generic white woman I met when I worked retail #She was boring and flat #Can we just let Charles play Mario if they do a sequel #Please #I am not kidding #Just recast him #Mario movie spoilers #Spoilers #Mario spoilers
