Israelis singing together: we’re coming with our guns to kill those Amaleks, they have no water and electricity, those rats will not survive when we leave our homes to go to war, we want all those Blacks and Arabs dead (electric solo, disco lights)
Palestinians singing together: oh my homeland how you suffer, one day the bloodshed on your soil will stop, one day we will return to our home village, Palestine will be free again (sitting together in a space lit by phone lights)

@alltheladiesyouhate admittedly i haven't rewatched the moffat seasons as much as i have the rtd ones but the biggest difference i think that the rtd companions actually had lives. the opening sequence of the renewed show was rose and her going about her day. we learned more about her in the first 10 minutes of that one episode than we do amy and clara all of their seasons. same with martha in smith and jones. and donna partners in crime. we know these people's families and and interpersonal dynamics and get to know them as people seperate to the doctor. meanwhile moffat era companions are only people in relation to who they are to the doctor. moffat is so obsessed with mysteries and 'don't you want to keep watching to know what this is about' that he neglects to make characters compelling without that information. moffat cannot make a scene like the one in marthas brothers birthday party where the entire family starts arguing moments before martha reunites with the doctor.

people sometimes talk about how mxtx’s love interests grow increasingly more unhinged or how the number of side characters increases exponentially from svsss to tgcf, but i raise you the de-escalation of protagonists from most recent work to debut:
3. tgcf—xie lian, crown prince of xianle, a literal god, possesses the most raw strength out of anyone else in his universe even without spiritual power
2. mdzs—wei wuxian, the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, a supremely talented cultivator and terrifyingly creative inventor, a man who could not only survive the burial mounds directly post-core removal surgery but who in fact came out of it potentially even stronger
1. svsss—shen yuan | shen qingqiu, reddit otaku-turned-qing jing peak lord. or, Just Some Guy with the power of “fuck you i choose kindness”

Let it be known I came into Hi3rd around 2019 or so and I've had Saul in her current iteration since like 2017 so this is just like a wild coincidence for me

my creative writing class being directly after my queer literature class is kinda funny bc i go to my queer lit class and all the readings/short films/etc we've been assigned are so engaging and so creative and beautiful and then i get to my creative writing class and it's just a bunch of short stories that are so painfully straight and white

Something innately tragic about the darkin is that ultimately their existence is aa never ending body horror filled suffering and an eternal hunger rivaling the things that fractured their minds in the first place. Tarhos is no exception to this though he is given space by Haru to heal and try to come to terms with what he used to be vs what he is now. This makes him appreciate a lot of smaller things in life that most would ignore or not notice in the firstplace.
Tarhos is four-thousand years old and who even really knows how long he's been trapped in his own fragmented blade for and most of that was spent underwater after being tossed off a merchant ship by someone who knew what he was. He couldn't see much of anything, felt like he was drowning, couldn't feel anything and all he was left with was his thoughts that desperately clung to the idea of the Shuriman empire instead of how he and the other god warriors were actually treated after the void war.
So when Haru picks him up and he can't fully make him his vessel, he's rightfully pissed, but he does calm over time by just having someone to talk to. He honestly can't stand the sound of his own voice alone still, he hates listening to his own thoughts. Still at least out of the water he could feel the warmth of the sunlight and the pressure of fingers dancing across his blade. His senses were very dulled though they existed and he was just happy to finally feel something. Though as his feelings grew so did his longing.
And when he was finally allowed to touch the vastayan's skin he weeped. Just being able to feel the grass, hear the birds, see clearly. It was overwhelming, but also held a joy he can never fully describe. He loves the sun on his scales, digging his claws into the Earth, smelling everything nature has to give, even just how pretty things as simple as rocks can be and he'd probably look foolish rambling about it especially to his kin, but it's just how he is. It's why usually when Haru's around he's close by or putting his claws on him, it's something so simple he was deprived of and longed for for so long he doesn't want to lose it again.
And due to being in the blade: he doesn't remember being human at all. He knows he was a slave who was celebrated and worshipped for his bravery which earned him his freedom and ascension, but... He doesn't remember any of it. His mind clung so hard to how he was when he was a giant bull God he's completely forgotten what it's like to be human which combined with how due to how hemomancy corrupted the darkin, makes him not value human life at all. He sees their struggles as pointless, they'll all die in a blink of his eye in his life time, they don't matter. Tarhos of course still enjoys being around humans, but he will trivialize their struggles unintentionally.
He just... doesn't see the point in what most people do at all. He doesn't get the worry or strife. And that's eventually going to be a big lesson for him in humility.
