Largely inspired by what I thought would be cool superpowers as a kid. I was a singularly boring and unimaginative kid apparently…

Begin to lay hold of every minute of your life and convert it into something of value to benefit the world. Never allow any of your time to be wasted on the frivolities of life.

No, they're not playing shuffleboard. Charles Ray, a film star, and Lillian Bond, a musical comedy star, play checkers on the new giant rooftop board on the Hotel Governor Clinton, September 19, 1930. Ted Barron, a Tin Pan Alley composer, is the referee.

election shit's too important for frivolity like the destiel meme

This is my fandom blog. I blog Fandom Stuff here. I also have one for Birbs and one for Cats, equally frivolous and free of Real Life content. If my personal happy-place hobby also helps someone else avoid doom-scrolling their way into a Real Life panic attack today over something they can't possibly change, all the better. If not - Tumblr and Tumblr Savior make it very easy to block content and blogs we don't personally want to see. (I personally block the living shit out of the Destiel-meme-as-a-news-source posts cuz I don't want that RL shit in my nice frivolity-space.)

Dean/Cas as a pairing, however... wheeee! Frivolity incoming. Happy explicitly-canonical anniversary, boys (and boy-shaped angels).

Truly Dark Souls 2 design has taught me that it is really... not the best souls game ever and never will be.

my mom wanted me to give her ideas for Christmas gifts for me, and I requested a Heroforge gift card, as I have always wanted to have little minis of the main characters from "buddy comedy with the ancient evil" and I have designed them in Heroforge but they cost $40-$50 and I have not been able to justify purchasing $40-$50 worth of frivolity. but if I have a gift card, then I have to spend it.

Ah, the Beatles.

I love Doctor Who for many reasons. Some of them silly, some of them less so.

Overall it's a show that deeply encourages and values empathy and the pursuit of knowledge over violence, over making assumptions of others, over asserting power or pursuing it altogether.

I met a particularly unsavory person irl via work recently and something about her stories...the way she scapegoats strangers so intuitively to break the silence. Her value set appears completely devoid of the good I mentioned above. While her character overall may still hold some decency that time would reveal, I've lived long enough to understand the value of the stories we tell to others and how that reflects on us in turn.

I am so relieved to have something like Doctor Who in my life because I've met so many people over the years who would instill a lasting edge of cynicism in me if they were all I knew.

"There's no point being grown up if you can't act childish sometimes."

Watching this show in all it's eras feels like being home; feels warm and inclusive. It's not a home I had but it's a home I have. Additionally so, it's like the audience, cast, and crew are telling a joke together and it's meant to make us all laugh (keyword ALL). The warmth I feel often comes from knowing most of my laughter watching this show has never been at the expense of someone else.

I've heard it plenty of times...if someone has to insult or belittle others it's a sign they feel small and seek to lash out. That's all well and good if you're on a cloud above but if you live in a world where others routinely use this method, albeit often as a form of social bonding, the wariness sets in and the weight of a deep sadness can intensify; calcify given enough time.

Doctor Who alleviates that sadness for me.

Its like a long essay written in favor of humanity. I'm reading it over and over again finding bits and bobs to take back with me before I return to the everyday; to that world full of small people desperate to feel big.

To those of us that relate to this show, I hope you know know how amazing I believe you are. 🥰 I hope these words can resonate with you because I think this show highlights a quiet wisdom we've earned one way or another in our lives.

We share in that wisdom not because we want to feel superior but because we want to believe in the good in people. I myself can not confidently inform you of any inherent good or selfish drive (and I studied philosophy for pity's sake) but I can say when we have a shared space as vast as Doccy Who to entertain us and provide us with endless horizons of exploration, we begin to share in a common mind. We bond with each other in ways that last. We grasp at the opportunity of building a legacy worth standing.

Just make it a good one, eh?

I have only just come to the slightly encouraging slightly terrifying realisation that we have so much time and yet we do so little with it. Summer holidays just started so let's work with that. If I wake up at 8 am and go to bed at 10 pm that's 14 hours in a day. I could split that time into 7 different 2 hour periods, to do 7 different things, including eating and cleaning/housework, still giving me time for 5 different 2 hour tasks. And yet, what do I (along with presumably a large chunk to Tumblr users) do with all of this time we were gifted by Chronos? Nothing. Literally nothing. Just doomscrolling Tumblr or tiktok or YouTube shorts, and sitting in our own sweat and stench playing video games and watching children's cartoons. Not that those aren't valid pastimes, absolutely spend one of your time chunks doing that stuff. But. We've been gifted all this time and do nothing with it. And I can sit here and preach about it but I know as well as you do that when I wake up tomorrow. I'm not going to use this. Because humans are just hardwired to be lasy slugs because that's how you conserved energy to not starve 10,000 years ago. Cya tomorrow, when I'll be doing literally nothing differently.
