RE: My last reblog, Daisy and Basira are not in a (canon) relationship. They are not "poor lesbian representation" because they're not explicitly lesbians. Here is Jonny's response to this interpretation, from the Season 4 Q+A:

Whoa. OK. This is going to be quite a long answer… So, I’d ask that people bear with me. There is never going to be an explicit textual clarification of that. Uh, for a very specific reason. [...] With Daisy and Basira what that has always been is the idea of partners within a, in this case, the police, but within a context of an us-and-them mentality. The idea of having your back against a world that is believed rightly or wrongly to be hostile to you. The sort of compromises that get made, uh, and the- the sort of excuses that you create for yourself to allow certain very harmful, uh, occasionally evil behaviors, because you have this mentality that it’s us against the monsters that we have.

Now, adding an explicitly romantic aspect to that relationship? Would to, my mind, massively complicate and potentially… Subvert it. Making a sacrifice to excuse the… violent and, uh, harmful acts that someone has done because you are in love with them? Is a very different thing to making compromises to excuse the violence and harmful acts someone’s done because you have their back within the police or a context of, uh, us-versus-them.

That’s not to say explicitly they are not. I am, a hundred percent, not saying they are not romantically involved. And I’m- I’m not going to go into my own headcanon is. Uh, because that would have undue influence. [...] But, I will say that textually that’s not a relationship that’s ever going to be… codified one way or the other."

TL;DR - Daisy and Basira being in a relationship is not canonical to the text of the show because it detracts from the purpose of their characters, but Jonny isn't against it as a fan interpretation. He just knows it would diminish the point being made to make that canonical.

This isn't to bash anyone who likes the ship, but to say calling Daisy and Basira bad representation is disingenuous. They are not representation at all because that's not the point of the dynamic. The Daisy/Basira dynamic is about the enabling of violence in the police force and the us vs them mentality that lets police excuse brutality. There's obviously more to this issue that the show doesn't touch on as well as it could, but the dynamic itself is not the issue.

Honestly, no one is doing it like Vinsmoke Sanji. He's royalty. He's homeless. He's a convicted criminal. He is a damsel in distress. He's a knight in shining armor. He takes down the Government at 10 am then makes a Bouchée à la reine from scratch at 11. He has the empathy of a buddhist monk in the Himalayas. He will beat up a 90 year old. He has never given a fuck, he cant sleep at night cz of how much he cares. He is a ballerina. He sets his legs on fire. He is a slut. He is a virgin. He is a feminist He is a pervert. He's a fashion icon. He wears Alexander McQueen suits to the beach. He has never known happiness. God has personal beef with him.

Though their initial mutations were the result of long term nuclear war, it's actually an intense culture of propaganda and strictly enforced conformity policies that have kept the Daleks in their current state. Every Dalek undergoes surgery just after birth; not to mitigate the effects of irradiation, but to rid them of whatever is legally considered "imperfections to the Dalek form" (usually throwbacks to a humanoid body plan, such as teeth and hands) and physically ready them for their casing. Additional surgeries must occur throughout a Dalek's life to prevent them from becoming "rooted" - a painful, often fatal scenario in which the Dalek overgrows their own shell and cannot be safely removed. Not only does their homogeneity serve to reinforce their fervent belief in genetic superiority, but the resulting chronic health issues prevent insurrection; a Dalek's fear of losing access to regular healthcare colors much of their judgement, and most attempts at dissent end as soon as their painkillers run dry.

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.
