The reason I don’t particularly like any teen titans run after around 2003 is because of the small fact that they have all completely misunderstood what the teen titans is. The teen titans isn’t just a group of teenage heroes, it never was, the teen titans has always been and should always be a group of teen heroes who NEED each other, who need the team, wether emotionally, physically, mentally, whatever, they just need each other. They were all led to one another out of a need for a sense of completion that they can only find when with the others, why they need each other/how it serves their arc is unimportant as long as that core is understood and executed correctly. And if characters don’t feel a sense of undefined incompletion before joining the teen titans?? Then they don’t need a teen titans. Like Kara and Babs were both teenage heroes while many TT runs were going on but they were never members of any TT teams because Kara’s sense of incompletion comes from the loss of her home planet, and Babs’s sense of incompletion was rectified the second she put the cowl on.

I've just realised that from the Doctors POV it's been like a thousand years since he's seen Donna Noble and her family and it's making me feral

Random thought but imagine how crazy it would be if Donna Noble met Crowley from Good Omens... They're both completely unhinged, smart with dumbass energy, and they're red heads. Aziraphale and the Tenth Doctor would have their hands full with those two

i will never not go crazy over 12s run being just completely permeated by donna. shes not even there and hes got his face because of donna, hes navigating moral dilemmas with her voice echoing in his head, he has to face having to erase a companions memory again AGAIN. TWICE. and walks out of it a humbler, more grounded and kinder version of himself just like he was when she was next to him. how am I supposed to be normal about this

Small changes I would have made to Doctor Who’s 60th Anniversary episode
For the most part, I really like The Star Beast. However, here are a few things I would have done differently.
Firstly, I think they should have made it clear that Rose Noble is nonbinary before the Meta-Crisis was reactivated. A trans woman is no more nonbinary than a cis woman. They make it very clear she’s trans but not that she’s nonbinary. Can a person be nonbinary while using exclusively she/her pronouns? Absolutely! However, they don’t make it clear that’s what they are doing.
The easiest way would have been to have Rose use she/they pronouns. I would have had Rose wear a badge with ‘she/them’ on it. I would also have added and tweaked a few lines when Donna and Sylvia were talking about Rose in the kitchen.
Sylvia: I don’t know. When I say she looks gorgeous, is that right? I mean, is it sexist? Or is it even the right word for someone who’s nonbinary? I never said it to him when he was… Oh… oh sorry.
Donna: Does she look gorgeous? Yes! So, stop worrying.
Sylvia: I just get so clumsy.
Donna: I know. So do I. You know Rose uses they/them pronouns too. You could use those if it’s easier.
The other thing I would change is the stupid line about a male presenting Doctor not ever thinking of letting something go. I hate that line. Not only is it sexist, it’s also said to the Doctor who – in one episode – has already been more emotionally open than any of the ones who came before including the one who was a woman.
Instead, it would have gone something like,
Doctor: We’ve still got to fix you two because the Meta-Crisis might have slowed down but that thing is wrapped around your cortex.
Donna: Yes, we know.
Rose: We know everything. Thanks.
Donna: And you apparently know nothing, even though you really should.
Rose: We’ve got all that power but there is a way to get rid of it.
Donna: It isn’t even a part of us, not really.
Rose: If a part of who you are isn’t really you or it’s hurting you, you can let it go and change.
Donna: How many times have you changed Doctor and this didn’t even occur to you! Anyway, like my wonderful daughter taught me we can let parts of ourself go and so we choose to let it go.
Then afterwards, there would have been a conversation about how Donna couldn’t have done that the first time around. It was happening to quickly; she didn’t know it was an option and she didn’t think she was worth anything without it. Now she knows better.
Then they’d talks some more about why the Doctor has his ‘old face back’. Is it because he isn’t able to change and move forward at the moment or is there another reason?

I wonder how many arguments a week Lois "the truth at all costs" Lane and Clark "fabricates interviews with himself" Kent had about journalism and the inherent issue of being someone that uncovers the truth while purposefully deceiving people. About the ways that "truth, justice, and the American way" representative Superman violates the rules and ethics regarding evidence, hearsay, bias in the news, and anonymous sources.
Or how many times Clark has tried to get her to bury a story (a few times at least canonically), and Lois had to consider it because he told her the fate of the world relied on it, or that it maximized public good.

ten is like oohhhh i will always have to come to terms with how everyone that i love will leave me behind (bc i'm a near immortal alien) and how they will always find someone else more important than me (bc i'm a near immortal alien) and i have trouble holding onto my connections with them bc the way i love them isn't enough/isn't the right kind of love for them (bc i'm a near immortal alien) and then he dies in 6 years so his storyline is like a metaphor for being aroace instead
