This is actually fucking heartbreaking

EDIT DISCLAIMER: fuck the rest of em, especially the CEO, but if my dad harassed me into doing something I didn't want to do and I ended up DYING because of it, I'd be so angry that I'd manifest an afterlife just to beat the shit out of him

Mr. Spamton, have you ever tried sewing before? The patterns some people draft up are bamboozling to the mind, for sure...

“Nine would have treated Martha better than Ten did”

I need to talk about this argument that never seems to stop circulating.

Note: Not a venomous/anti post. There’s more than enough of that across fandom spaces as is, and this is supposed to be a place for ✨sweet, blissful escapism✨

When making this argument, people seem to envision a scenario in which Nine never met Rose.

While I can appreciate a good hypothetical, recognizing Rose's significance to the Doctor (Nine and Ten) is essential to understanding why things with Martha played out the way they did in the first place.

In the third series, the Doctor is grieving. This grief is deliberately threaded into nearly every script, whether spoken aloud or not (and these are just a few examples):

He's burning in Rose’s wake the entire time Martha travels with him, which is why it’s so frequently called upon: It’s 100% deliberate in framing his grief. He grieved as Nine too, of course— having been fresh on the heels of the Time War — but then he met Rose, which changed everything.

Back then, he was still a rude, traumatized pain in the ass, but we watch Rose soften more of those jagged edges with every episode as they grow closer; as he lets his guard down and forms a deep connection with her.

He falls in love (against his better judgment) and it's game over.

And yes: provided S1E1 had been titled 'Martha', one can realistically assume things might have unfolded similarly to how they did with Rose. However, it wouldn’t have been that way just because the Doctor was Nine and “Nine was different” — it would be because he wasn’t already in love with someone else. The same can't be said for the start of S3.

Think of it like this: if Rose AND Martha had been in that cellar — if Nine had taken both of them along with him in S1 — we’d eventually be looking at the most melodramatic love triangle ever, what with him living in close quarters with two brilliant, gorgeous, compassionate young women... But Doctor Who is plenty “soap opera” as is with just one woman in the TARDIS.

(I certainly wouldn’t object to reading that fic, though)

Now, regarding the unrequited elephant in the room…

His inability to be romantic with Martha isn’t because he thinks her lesser, nor is it for lack of compatibility. It isn't because Rose is any better than her. It certainly isn’t just because he’s Ten.

It’s really only for one reason, which can't be denied — and now I’m a broken record:

He is still in love with Rose.

(cut from a tenrosedaily gif)

Nine is Ten, and Ten is only such a mess in S3 because he’s just lost the love of his life. Martha merely got caught in the crosshairs of a volatile Time Lord in mourning, and yes — it sucks. Absolutely.

But it also feels dismissive to chalk Ten and Martha’s relationship up to little more than some sort of mindless dance of pining, jealousy, and toxicity.

Ten trusted Martha with his life over and over again — and hers, with him. He constantly praised her brilliance, happily carting her around time and space with no intention of letting her go. In the BBC’s extended universe of novels/comics/cartoons/etc, there’s so much depth to their relationship: love and trust and trauma and sacrifice. They had their own special bond as mates, their own complexities — so it’s a bummer that it's forever overshadowed by the other things.

I’m not denying that there was a lot of stuff that sucked/was for sure toxic about Ten's S3 behavior, but so many of the things I've seen him catching flak for can be directly attributed to being A Clueless Fucking Alien Idiot (not a trait that’s unique to Ten) — as well as his flat-out obliviousness to Martha’s feelings.

So yes, I agree: if Rose never existed, he would have treated Martha differently as Nine. He also would have treated her differently as Ten. Certainly.

But Rose did exist, and when discussing canon, it matters.

“He tells me that he absolutely, 100% loves Rose... He tells me how my daughter; my wonderful, beautiful, clever little girl saved him from himself before… And he says that’s all because of me! I made her into the Rose Tyler that saved him.”

-Jackie Tyler, Flight Into Hull!

Martha got the short end of the stick in S3. She came round at the wrong place and time, but that doesn't mean it was all bad. It doesn't mean the Doctor didn’t adore her. It certainly doesn't mean the time they spent together was wasted or worthless. They were brilliant!

Sure, he could be a twat, but let it be known that he was a twat with Rose as well, both as Nine and Ten. I’m sure Tentoo can be plenty infuriating, too. So while I'll defend Ten (and Tentoo) into the ground forever and ever and ever, I'll concede that he's fucked up.

The Doctor is a certified Pain In The Ass. It’s one of the things I love so much about this character — dynamics.

But never forget that Martha was goddamn tough as nails and overcame every bit of it. She moved on with her life, and the Doctor moved on with his. One can only pray that, when they inevitably drag her back onto the show (which feels inevitable if I'm honest), we see at once that she's been living her best life for all these years.

you and your art are absolute trash grow up and get a life you pathetic waste of air

oh honey! I was wondering if you'd show up now that I'm doing well again and doing some full, legit CR work! And you must be SO MAD about it, given you're going to waste this side account on me since you usually try to anon-harass me lol XD

Probably didn't tell me to kill myself this time b/c you had to put an account name on to actually get to me. You have literally been harassing critter artists for like the last 7 or so years, and you think I need to get the life? oh HONEY, the fact that we live rent free in your head is honestly laughable.

But yeah, yearly hate message checked off, thank you for informing me that I'm doing well enough to make you so so SO mad, it's always a bright spot in my day that I've pissed you in particular off lol XD

Hope you're well, and maybe get some therapy!

(as a note to ppl reading this, don't interact with them, just go block and report pls so they don't get the chance to harass other folks who don't know their tactics and could be hurt by them ^_^)

[fascinating-lives]

FUCK the FIA. Literally I assure you nobody FUCKING cares. These mfs are the one preaching about FUCKING free speech. FUCK you guys honestly. I FUCKING guarantee you guys that they wouldn't bat an eye if their pretty media princes said anything. These hypocritical dumbasses need to shove it.

If anything kids shouldn't fucking watch Formula 1 in that case then. It's literally a sport where people crash and get seriously injured regularly, with multiple fatal accidents. That's way fucking worse than swearing.

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

people like to criticize jikook’s “awkward” car talk but choose to ignore how awkward the air whenever tedros and jm were sharing a car. like jm was just silent and uninterested in even having some light hearted smal talk lol dude had to fill the silence with songs and nonsense yapping. I have feeling that jm is not a big fan of his odd behavior

Half the time during their car rides, Jimin was going through the struggle of not knowing if he should keep his mouth shut or throw another one remark at whatever Tedros was mumbling. I mean, just look at him on the final day

Absolutely hilarious too, I watched that part twice because Jimin's face goes through an entire journey. My photo doesn't make it any justice unfortunately.

Tedros and Jimin seem now too different to be able to laugh together in the way Jimin and Jungkook are able to. The nonsense Tedros gets out remains ignored, while jikook turn it into either banter or roleplay in an instant.

I don't know what vminers are debating in their spaces (and boy I do not wish to know), but apart from average comments from jikookers who are mentioning the lack of "soulmates" vibe, no one is truly questioning their friendship. Neither am I actually. I'm not absurd enough to write ridiculous fanfiction, even if I despise Tedros. I'm mean, not stupid. But Jikook don't even get that even from those who spend their time weekly writing about them. The standards are through the roof.

how did u feel about the 2nd Terrifier movie? i saw it on a first date so it wasn’t the best experience… but revisiting it I can enjoy it more. good sfx

So the first one is 1h30m i believe, and I know when I watched it and saw I was 40 minutes in i was like wow its been that long and it feels like not much has happened huh. But then it did what it did and it ended.

For the second one I was like oh its been 40 minutes. Hopefully it starts kicking off like the first one. And then after what felt like an hour only 10 more minutes had passed LOL and the entire rest of the movie felt dis way

I like that this one had more of a semblance of a plot... The clown cafe song is stuck in my head... Sfx is good but hm im not sure how to describe this....im not one of those "omg this is just a legal snuff film u guys are evil for watching this" people nor am i a "ermm if u cant handle this ur a prude and a little baby actually" person but more somewhere in between or outside. I love movie gore, when i was younger I watched Saw SOLELY for the traps, i didnt even know the plot until more recently LMAO

but obviously That One Scene...idk! I dont think it was too much in the "prude" way nor was i clapping and cheering but it did evoke a "ok come on wrap it up" feeling from me...like these faces combined...does dis make sense. Not walking-out-of-the-theater disgust and revulsion OR enjoyment/glee but just mostly straight faced this ⬇️

The first movie has a naked woman being split in half from coochie down so its definitely not the gore itself here that evoked this emotion ykwim

[hobgobknowsbest]

we haven't reached full-on hate mail yet, but with how riled up a handful of people have gotten lately, I just figured I'd make it easier for future trolls to find me

this is how you get to my house

just slide right in whenever

[randommothxd]

MY FIRST HATE!!!!!!

Might as well give them a message!

Oh and btw,you're lucky you're anonymous!because,i swear to fucking god if you weren't,you sure wish you would've been!

I've never got hate before and I would normally just block you (like I just did) but sense you're my first hate,I might as well have fun

You are so fucking lucky you're anonymous.and I mean this with my whole heart and soul,blood and everything

You're FUCKING lucky

Because!!if you weren't,I will spam report you and probably just show screenshot of your account for you to be reported

And keep in mind,you did this to yourself.you sent a death threat to a 14 year old,a minor.so I feel as I have the right to say this because you just harassed me!

I probably have more followers than you cause who the fuck would follow a bullshit and lame excuse for a human being

So you have nobody to come to when I do this

As said before,I'll spam report you and get others to report you

I would post many posts of you so everybody knows what you did

I won't fucking stop until I see your account dead and deactivated

Until you are gone and you have nobody to cry to when this is all over

You will be NOTHING but a fucking graveyard

And you're actually a fucking baby

To scary to send non-anon hate?grow the fuck up

If you're old enough to know how to send hate,you should be old enough to know how to take accountability for your actions

Tho you probably aren't as you can't even spell yourself correct!

Just be FUCKING GLAD you're anon

I wouldn't stop until you are gone and nothing with nobody to remember and nobody will remember you

Anyways,bye gayys X3

i cant in good conscience write a post condemning the war in gaza while my israeli brothers and sisters are held hostage by terrorists organizations, and so shortly after so many were massacred. nor can i support the war in any way when our government is ran by people who should be in jail and are using this war to extend their time being free. i am torn between the hatred my people have been raised to subject unto others as others have subjected unto us, and avid empathy for those innocents caught under misguided bombs dropped by criminals on either side.

the college protests in america have given me something very profound to look at, as they are literally a miniature mirror of our situation here in the homeland. extremists on either side are fighting each other, both claiming to be the majority, while the real majority screaming for peace is suppressed under either an iron fist or a sense of justice leaning otherwise. however, the protests gave me something the war could not, which is finally a bridge to unity and good conduct and discussion;

Cops Fucking suck

ACAB FUCK EM UP

[coquelicoq]

having the weirdest time in the love & basketball tag because everyone is hating on it in there???? calling it "problematic" like omg okay have you ever seen a romance movie. can we consider this work within its context.

[ya-what--ya-erster]

no you don’t understand

not coloring it is different than fucking whitewashing someone

hate to be the one to tell y’all this (jk I’m educating you) but black people have different facial features than white people?

your uncolored picture is only to be considered not whitewashing IF the features exist?? Or if you. Tried. Ik facial features are difficult.

you now have no defense against being a racist piece of shit

[cookinguptales]

I will say, though, people used to be way meaner about fic online when I was a kid. Readers can still be shitty, don't get me wrong, but it was the wild fucking west when I was young and new to fandom.

Sporking communities (communities dedicated to going through fic line-by-line to make fun of it to an audience), homophobic death threats, "constructive criticism" that was really just designed to hurt young writers' feelings... Like this was all considered not just acceptable but fun and fairly normalized. You were considered "butthurt" if this stuff really affected you.

But damn, it was so mean. Like so unnecessarily mean. People were practically hunting fan writers for sport just because they wrote fic/meta/roleplays/etc. that they didn't enjoy. I cannot overemphasize that making fun of writers was considered a viable fandom path at a certain point. Some people got very big followings for sporkings, takedowns, particularly creative flames, etc.

What I'm telling you is that making fun of others' writing was considered a kind of fanwork in and of itself.

Like... I remember writing something online when I was about fourteen and -- I don't even remember what it was, being honest with you. It probably wasn't very good, given my age. But I do remember that someone just replied to it with a link for a website "how to write" and nothing else, and it hurt my feelings so badly that I didn't even want to keep going. That was considered concrit back then, even though it was really just a thinly veiled insult. Pretty sure whoever wrote that comment thought it was hilarious, and others would have agreed with them. I definitely would've been mocked if I'd complained.

And... that was just what you had to put up with if you posted your writing publicly. Some of those old warnings like "flames will be used to make s'mores!" come off as kind of cringe these days, but it really was a coping mechanism that you had to develop if you wanted to get through it at all. It was saying "your words won't hurt me, so don't bother."

Like... I like to believe that I'm a pretty good writer these days, and I can guarantee that not one of those assholes who made fun of me or mocked my work or talked shit about my ideas actually helped to make me what I am today. It was the people who encouraged me to play with a lot of different ideas and forms of writing who really helped me grow. Nothing worked better than just writing and writing and writing without fear that I would be punished for doing so.

So even if you're a garbage person who likes to hurt people because it makes you feel big and strong and important, think about all this pragmatically. Be totally fucking selfish for a minute. Think about all of the good writing you will never, ever get to read if you destroy the writer's self-esteem when they're still learning. Think about all the people who will never grow. All the beautiful flowers that are being nipped in the bud every day by assholes like you.

And even if someone never gets good, even if they just splash around in stupid ideas and awful prose and incoherent characterization... so fucking what? No one owes you beauty. Sometimes the beauty is just in having fun with what you're doing, and sometimes that's enough.

I am actually extremely relieved that fandom isn't quite as cruel as it was when I was a kid, but I won't pretend that things are perfect now. People still have this weird entitlement to them, like other people in fandom only exist to create things that they enjoy. Like other people only have worth, only matter, if their presence gives you exactly what you want when you want it.

You don't have to like everything that other people make! You don't even have to like them. But come on, now. Let people have fun. And don't act like other people's fun is only valid if it's of use to you.

[pet-cemetery-emotes]

unrealted but what does endo mean? /genq

Short hand for endogenic! Which usually means anyone who is plural for non trauma reasons! or who doesn't relate their plurality to trauma. if you don't know what plural means, there are a lot of definitions! I'd recommend googling around or talking to plural people, because i dont have good words today. plurality is often associated with DID, but that's not the only source or cause :) another common one is MADD (maladaptive daydreaming disorder) or immersive daydreaming!

take this with a grain of salt, though - people will often change their personal definitions of what it means to be plural or endo to exclude others. perhaps because of their own internalized ableism, or exerting control over their online spaces is the only control they readily get, or because picking on a subculture of a subculture means that their targets often won't be defended and they can get away with using them as stress toys. Similarly to queer infighting, and aphobia. Thumbs up emoji
