Seriously, the Doctor just has a Thing for people who threaten/try to kill them:

The Master. No elaboration needed.

Jamie held the Doctor at knifepoint when they first met.

Turlough was sent to kill the Doctor.

I haven't read the EDAs but apparently Fitz goes on this list.

River Song was sent to kill the Doctor.

Rogue nearly executed the Doctor after mistaking him for someone else.

Conclusion: All the best Doctor ships have a threat of violence at the beginning.

how the zionist entity bastardizes the star of david

after destroying a park in gaza, israeli tanks carve a star of david into the ground

this is not new. previously, israeli forces seared the star of david on the face of a palestinian civilian:

reminds me of isis terrorists killing muslims in syria according to 'halal' guidelines. in both cases, a brutal cult (zionists/salafi extremists) uses religion (judaism/islam) as an excuse for violence in a way that seems to mock & disrespect the very religion they claim to follow

was watching this really good video but this moment with felps KILLED me

people are getting mad about a contemporary art thing again so naturally I had to check it out and see if it's as empty, stupid, and pretentious as everyone is saying.

turns out Roman Signer is a down to earth dude with a sense of humour who doesn't take himself too seriously, which was exactly the vibe I was getting from his works.

"falling buckets of sand gee how original, so I guess I was making "art" all the time as a kid then 🙄" yes actually, according to Signer's own philosophy kids are making art all the time and not thinking of it as art. you can disagree with this mindset, but he does not strike me as a man who'd be in any way bothered by someone saying "I can do that myself" and then doing it themself. he strikes me as someone who would in fact encourage doing it yourself, because it's fun.

if he was a pretentious guy in his 20s claiming his pieces are so profound they can only be understood by the elite, sure I'd be annoyed. but he's just a funny lil old Swiss man who does funny and absurd little experiments and encourages you to laugh at them. I can't be mad at that. it's fun and way more accessible than people seem to think.

I love every season on its own merits, but I still think the end of tsv ch1 is one of the most exquisitely atmospheric pieces of horror in the whole show.

this is just something small but i thought it might be easy for others to do too: if you have a roll of stickers, draw or write palestinian flags or other things on them, and paste them up on lamp poles or letter boxes or road signs in your community! spread the word about the genocide in palestine! make sure that people in your area are reminded about palestine throughout the day! make palestinian voices heard!! i know you can buy stickers but these let you write quotes and draw variations of the flag on them too

Study Date on Luna by Deriveress

‘Yes!’ He hadn’t even finished speaking when River jumped to her feet, pulled out a bag from beneath her bed and started haphazardly throwing things inside. ‘Oh, this will be great! That exam will be a piece of cake! And I always wanted to start a revolution.’ She stopped packing, smirking at him. River smiled, a brilliant thing that caused a strange, warm feeling in his chest.

Seven Kisses by LittlePageAndBird

He’s no-one’s boyfriend. No. Absolutely not. But there's a (tiny, miniscule, microscopic) chance he might just be River Song’s husband. The same very young River Song who he picked up from a club last night (but only after she’d finished dancing with strange men who were not him), who serenaded the Tardis with a Queen song dressed in his old scarf, and who is now not only nursing the hangover from hell but demanding that he make her breakfast. Who's he trying to kid? Amy’s right. He’s so married.

She’s a menace. No, she’s a minx. She’s a menacing minxy distraction and he can’t be expected to handle her when she’s this young.

so now we have FOUR versions of the "Manor Family Photo" - two with Orpheus; the one with just him and his parents and the one with Bane's parents, their faces obscured:

and two with Alice, one with normal eyes and the newest one with button eyes:

and all that confusion aside, i'm most intrigued by the significance of button eyes vs. regular eyes. we know it's significant who has them and who doesn't, and we've seen plenty of examples of this.

the earliest example we see of this contrast is in "Go Hunting"/"Da Capo", where Orpheus and "Memory" have normal eyes while Norton has button eyes (EXCEPT in his Hunter form/when he has Detention):

and then even more intriguingly, we got to see Luchino's eyes change the literal second he was bitten by the mysterious reptile, even before he became a Hunter:

see also Yhidra's followers permanently having one button eye and one normal eye, implying that this condition is related to Yhidra somehow.

but of course all the Hunters have normal (or relatively normal) eyes and all the Survivors have button eyes (in their shorts and in-game, although we've seen pre-game portraits where they also have normal eyes), and the family portraits and "Memory"/Alice show that there is a significance beyond that. one could argue based on Luchino's short that the difference is a particular connection being made, but Norton going back and forth between the two states, as well as the Survivors being seen prior to the Game with normal eyes, disproves that imho.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS.

according to NetEase, "humans" have normal eyes, and "puppets" have button eyes. but again, why do Yhidra's followers have one of each? why does Luchino become "human" when he is bitten by Yhidra's reptile? why does Norton only appear "human" sometimes?

NetEase what is the explanation???

Imagine being so brainwashed that when someone confronts you about literal proof of war crimes committed by Israel, all you can do is scream denialism

Recognizing that Israel is a fucking genocider actually has nothing to do with denying the Holocaust. Which I know happened because we have evidence that it fucking happened. We saw the evidence and heard the stories and we know it's historical fucking fact.

But evidence doesn't count when it challenges zionist dogma I guess. There's literally video evidence of Palestinian children being murdered. Mothers in gaza are having to have c sections without anesthesia. There are hundreds of babies in incubators at the mercy of IDF who won't stop bombing every fucking hospital in gaza.

That story about the baby in the oven literally happened to a Palestinian in 1948.

But those babies don't count I guess

ranking billy joel album covers (what i think are his main albums, maybe it's not what everyone thinks are his main albums? i dunno) from my least favorite to my favorite

piano man: yeah this is the only one where i actively go grr when i look at it. like i dunno man the void and how his face looks, i just can't get behind it. no thank you

the nylon curtain: when i was younger i always liked this one cus i thought it looked like a book cover, or rather i liked that it looked like a book cover. but yeah, eh

an innocent man: i dunno this one is just boring to me lol, like yep he sure is sitting on those steps

river of dreams: no it's a cool drawing and all, i'm not really sure what it is about it that it's just like something's off about it for me

cold spring harbor: while i definitely think it gives off the vibes of the album, i dunno it's just not super visually interesting to me. and honestly he looks so different here and that always throws me off too lol

the bridge: nothing wrong with it, i just can't really connect to whatever's going on here and yeah i can see the vibes but not very clearly. and i don't think the banner at the top looks very nice

52nd street: huge jump up here honestly lol. yeah i really like this one, i like the composition, i like how he's holding a trumpet (right? i know nothing about instruments actually lol), i like his blue outfit and how dirty it looks lol. i think this cover does a good job at making him look a little pathetic but like, in a cool way

streetlife serenade: it's so pretty!! i love this, i don't have any issues with it it just can't compete with the ones above it, for me personally

storm front: man i just love it, the red is great and the gray and black are so great, yeah i can't really explain it

the stranger: so cool man, like the gradients of black and white and gray are so pretty and it's just a really neat composition. it's wonderful, i guess i just feel a little stronger about the two above it. originally though i had storm front above this but yeah this one deserves to be in the top three over that one

glass houses: oh man oh man, i love this one, like i just love how he takes up the whole composition vertically and there's still so much visual interest in the rest of it but it's not too much, at least for me. and obviously how the album is glass houses and it's a glass house and he's holding a rock and you may be right (the first song) starts with a sound like glass breaking!!!! like cmon

turnstiles: not really sure if i can explain it but this is just the best one to me, i think the colors are so great and it's cool with all these people and it's just a great composition. and i like how the text looks, which like usually for these either i don't like it or i'm just neutral on it, so that's a plus. yeah i just love this album cover, i dunno

and if you've read all this you should go contact your representatives about calling for a ceasefire! and find some pro-Palestine posts to share and interact with!

[bijoumikhawal]

multiple Palestinian organizations have stated for decades they're against "dejudification" and even Hamas draws the distinction that not all Jews are Zionists and vice versa. "Im sure theres a version if antizionism that doesnt involve it-" its been a VERY common position among antizionists to not give a shit if Jews still live in Palestine so long as Palestinians are free, actually. There are Palestinian Jews, who call themselves Palestinian, actually. And whining that calling Israelis colonizers implies all Jews are foreign is fucking rich regarding the ideology that tries to force dual loyalty on everyone, and really fucking annoying considering European Jews have been fucking colonizing Mizrahi communities for a LONG time. All those Jewish French speaking schools in the MENA were founded because European Jews thought local Jews were backwards.
