Me @ You fans who idolize Joe: No

Me @ You fans who idolize Love: Also no

[quwarichi]

I don't enjoy or appreciate the way fandom treats the characters as of the current era because it's such a blatant Flanderization of their journeys that it reduces complex and multi-themed characters into three bullet point OCs that wear the flesh of the characters they once were

[nymphilily]

Everyday I think about this one specific Kai DLC Alt, and everyday I proceed to lose my mind over it

Okay let’s talk, I don’t joke about being “unfortunately attracted to men” because I hate myself for being bisexual lol, it’s because men hate women and treat us like shit

Goddamnit of all the places to go on hiatus…

[ziracona]

It’s come to my attention Frank Morrison is aromantic and he’s just too stupid to notice because he’s /very/ fem-leaning bisexual and Julie is super romantic and he enjoys making her happy

If you're still taking prompts, Benedict and Eloise talking about what they want in life 🙏🙏

Benedict frowned at the odd shadow in the corner of the tiny square of garden in the back of Number Five Bruton Street. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked over to it. Eloise. He frowned again. He had been fairly certain that the house was empty, with his mother, sisters, and fiancée all having gone to dinner with Daphne, Simon, and their kids.

“Eloise? Aren’t you supposed to be at Hastings house?” he asked.

“I left early,” she answered.

“Can I sit?”

“Sure.” Eloise moved to sit up and he took a seat next to her.

“What are you doing?”

“Thinking.”

“About what?”

“Life.” She turned to look at him, her eyes locking his.

Benedict swallowed, and surreptitiously ran his newly sweaty hands over his breeches.

“What about life?” he asked.

“What do you want from it?”

“Sophie.” Her name had slipped from his lips with little preamble or thought.

Eloise rolled her eyes. “Beyond her. What do you want in life?”

He sighed, breaking her gaze and focusing on the area around the door. He could feel the heat rushing into his cheeks at the memories, even if he had been a bit of an ass. What did he want?

“I don’t know, El. I want Sophie. I’d like to have children with her. That’s what I know I want,” he answered.

“What about art?” she asked and he turned his head so quickly that he nearly gave himself whiplash.

“How do you know about that?”

“Sophie. She was rather annoyed that we were unable to come up with anything that you were good at. I don’t think that she intended to mention you and art, but she was rather annoyed with us.”

He was sure that he had a stupid grin on his face, but he couldn’t bring himself to care.

“Would you do anything with it?” Eloise asked, breaking him out of his reverie.

“I don’t know. It’s just some sketches,” he responded.

“Sophie seems to think you’re quite talented. I think I remember Aunt Georgie commenting on it once.”

Benedict ducked his head. “I don’t remember Aunt Georgie seeing anything I’ve drawn.”

“Well, I think she mentioned that it was when Colin was a baby, so you might not remember.” 

“Ah. So, what do you want from your life?”

Eloise looked at him, a hint of annoyance on her face. “I don’t want to be just a wife and mother. Maybe those things would be great, but with the right person. Certainly not anyone I’ve met at the balls,” she answered.

“Well, one of us needs to give Mother a proper wedding,” he remarked.

“You could have.”

“No, not after everything that happened yesterday. I’d like to get ahead of the rumors. Sophie doesn’t deserve to be subjected to that. They’ll all be completely false anyways. No one knows her.”

“What about reputation? Mother was more than a little annoyed when Sophie never returned home last night.”

“She fell asleep. I wasn’t going to wake her. After everything, she deserved to have some uninterrupted sleep and to not be interrogated by my sisters.”

He knew his answer sounded slightly stiff, but there was no way in hell that he was going to Eloise the truth about what had happened the previous night.

“Hey! I like Sophie. She was a very competent ladies’ maid. Although, she did stick herself with a needle quite often during tea,” Eloise interjected.

“Ah. I do remember her needing a thimble at one point.”

Eloise eyed him suspiciously. “Is Sophie really all you want from life?”

He paused for a moment. “Yes. You may find someone who makes you feel the same way. I love her so much, Eloise.”

“How are you worse than Anthony?”

“What?”

“I thought Anthony was sappy around Kate, but somehow I think you’re worse.”

“It’s not a bad thing, Eloise. Do you remember Mother and Father looking at each other like there was no one else in the world? Or even when Father would look at you like you were the only person in the room?”

“I was only seven, Ben.”

“Well, you know that most people we know don’t care about love. You and me, we’re lucky. We’ve got a mother who wants us to fall in love. I know she pushes the whole marriage thing, but she wants us to be happy and fall in love. Most mothers wouldn’t let their sons marry women like Sophie.”

“I suppose you’re correct,” Eloise admitted, grudgingly. “But shouldn’t we want more in life than love?”

“Maybe so, El. But all I’m certain of is that I want Sophie. More may come later, but at this moment, I just want to marry Sophie.”

i would like your missy thoughts

i haven’t spent too long putting it into neat words so it’s very rambley, and also unedited i’m very sorry about that, but it basically boils down to a) missy doesn’t know who she is and b) missy benefits from people assuming she is one way or another even if it’s not true

an earlier character analysis post of mine is linked in the body of this, but if you don’t want to go looking or want to start off with that, here it is (about the vault).

a) i don’t think missy knows who she is

missy’s creation (regeneration) & death are cyclical—her death caused her life, and by the time of her death she’s changed a TON. so i do think that from the moment she starts to exist she has no idea who she is. (she probably struggles with a lot of self-hatred due to the circumstances of her last death, even if she doesn’t exactly remember the details!!!!)

missy changes her name! from the get-go it’s established that she has a shaky, uneven sense of self. she is no longer The Master, even if she’s still the same person. she’s someone similar, but not exactly the same. her first introduction establishes that she doesn’t even have her own voice. In Deep Breath, she says, “... I do like his new accent, though,” to the half-face man. “Think I might keep it.”

i don’t think she entirely failed in her cyberman plot, because i don’t think she’s entirely upfront and honest with why she puts it into motion. she wants the doctor’s companionship (missy is a desperately lonely character), and she wants to re-establish who she is (by doing something capital E Evil). 

(and she’s struggling with her identity in s10 even more. if she isn’t The Master anymore, who is she? if she doesn’t have basic, surface-level character traits, what’s left? what does she have to confront that she’s been lying to herself about? with everyone else, she lets herself wear the mask they think is her face, but the doctor never thought that, and left alone with him, she has to find out what she really looks like. and i think that scares her a lot, even if she’d never admit it). 

b) she lets you think that she is who you think she should be

missy is fully aware that she comes off as flighty, unpredictable, pretty—she knows that you’ll underestimate her and read her at a surface level, at least at first, and she relies on it. missy lies to you. taking from her original introduction and her character throughout s8/s9 and deciding that she’s cheerful or happy all the time is a mistake.

(this is the issue i have with big finish’s missy audios, honestly! they’re very fun but they don’t lend her any depth of character or let her have moments of quiet/character development. she is capable of good and being multifaceted on her own. she does not need the doctor, even if she would prefer his company.)

she’s incredibly repressed and sad! in s10 Eaters of Light, she asks the doctor, “I don't even know why I'm crying. Why? Why do I keep doing that now?” missy isn’t even used to crying! she’s not used to expressing her emotions at all, let alone in a healthy way that doesn’t include murder or burning things down.

(like i mentioned in this post, which i’d mentioned earlier that i’d link, missy has the CAPACITY to do good before s10, she just doesn’t do it often. and yes, her definition of doing good differs from the doctor’s, and the show usually puts the doctor’s definition as The Definition Of Goodness, which is neither here nor there—but she helps people, because she cares about their survival. maybe she doesn’t do it often because it goes against her established identity, and she doesn’t know what to do without that. maybe she doesn’t do it because it’s boring, or she thinks it’s a waste of time. probably a combination of those and other reasons!)

anyway. i don’t really know how to wrap this up—but i do want to leave you with the thought of davies’s doctors, and how lonely they are, how desperate they are for another time lord or companion. how it’s acceptable for ten to be frustrated that he’s always the smartest person in the room, the last of his kind, and the solace they find in their human companions. and i just want to remind you that missy doesn’t let herself trust humans, doesn’t see them as worth her time. (perhaps sees befriending them as inappropriate or dirty, even, considering her comments in World Enough And Time!) and i kind of wanted to ask: why is it okay for a character played by a man to want companionship that is Enough, but when a woman wants that it’s boring or it makes her weaker?

Unpopular opinion, but you shouldn't need to apologize or explain yourself to total strangers for liking problematic characters or risk being 'canceled'.

Why do we find the need to shit on people who like immoral characters (ESPECIALLY women)??

Like let's take Morgana for example, I feel like you cannot say you like her without at least 5 other people commenting and messaging you things like, "you know she.... *whispers in scandalized* killed... people, right...?"

Yeah, and???

"How can you excuse her behavior?"

Uh, I just did. She's excused. In fact, I praise her for it.

"You can like her/understand her as a character, but you CAN'T excuse her behavior!!!"

Um, actually I can do whatever I want, thank you. She's not a real person and did not harm real people. It's fiction. I don't need your permission to enjoy content however I want. (also note how no one ever cares when the fandoms favorite white male character is problematic)

You're allowed to like things. You're not evil for being interested in gore, or body horror, MCD fics, or yes... even problematic characters. It's not strange to want to see extremities in media, like murder, from wronged characters that would be silenced in real life (esp women and poc). The same way you might fantasize about hurting someone who did you wrong in real life, it doesn't make you evil. Or the way you might enjoy violent video games, it doesn't make you a murderer. It's not real.
