Ok, but the Twelfth Doctor regenerating into a woman is literally THE MOST TWELVE THING EVER! His whole personality is a grumpy, punk rock dude who plays electric guitar, has sonic sunglasses, and has the vibe of a "reluctant babysitter who deep down really loves the kids he's babysitting." He also does not tolerate any bull crap, so OF COURSE, he's going to regenerate into a woman because that's in his rebel time lord nature.

These are some of the most poignant and surprisingly progressive quotes in the Tolkien Legendarium

Please, please, please don't ignore or overlook them. They are crucial to understanding Eowyn's position and the causes of her despair.

“wHo RaDiCaLiZeD yOu?”

BITCH, YOU DID???

A reflection on the naive hypocrisy of modern conservative extremist parents:

We started off with the Bible (actual teachings of Christ) and emphasizing fair treatment bc I have a twin and five siblings.

You read me Harry Potter starting when I was TWO.

I read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. I read Narnia. I read A Winkle in Time and The Giver. I love Ray Bradbury. The Hunger Games. Most of the banned books now were MANDATORY in my schools.

You introduced me to Star Wars!! Of which I am a massive fan. All three Trilogies, TCW, Rebels, the Mandalorian, and Kenobi — the parallels between the Empire and Nazi Germany being my favorite subject.

From there I got into Star Trek, DC, The Winter Soldier, Dare Devil, and The Punisher — which you watched with me.

Then the holy grail of X-Men

I watched Avatar: the Last Airbender, and She-Ra and Arcane, and (help me) Voltron! I enjoy Ghibli,I adore Attack on Titan, Trigun, and Full Metal Alchemist.

Your generation has been training ours to recognize, hate, and attack Fascism, Racism, Classism, Censorship, State-sanctioned violence, and imperialism since we were BORN.

I’m just not sure how she missed the memo.

I do not consider myself a democrat or even far left. I’m just tired of seeing fear and intolerance become the rule of law, basic rights and reforms being rolled back over 20 years, and a plea for Mercy being actively condemned on Holy Ground while Nazi Salutes and coups are meant with applauses and pardons. You gave me MULTIPLE physical copies of the Constitution — the man you voted for is trying to change it and took it down from all but the National Archives.

Examine your values and see if they line up with your actions. Now is the time for reflection and proactive change to benefit all citizens and our democracy — regardless of our differences. Fascism benefits only the elite in power.

I hate that Far Cry 5 was my introduction to the series because that makes it my easy favourite but then I think about Ariadne and like

she is getting SHOT ON SIGHT

[moonys-chocolate28]

I have an impenetrable urge to rewatch the revival and watch the original Doctor Who.

But i also have an unfathomable passion to finish the MCU before watching anything else.

please tear out your hair and give me your top 5 episodes 😈

-ninthdoctorr

So, we're gonna do this two ways (because I'm evil and I'd like to cause myself pain). First, my favorite episode (or two parter) of each Doctor, and then top five overall. Why, you ask? Because I'd like to cause myself more pain.

By Doctor

Nine: Aliens of London/World War Three (2nd place The Long Game)

Ten: Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords (2nd place Gridlock)

Eleven: Rebel Flesh/Almost People (2nd place The Big Bang)

Twelve: Thin Ice (2nd place Time Heist)

Thirteen: Demons of the Punjab (2nd place Resolution)

Overall (this is where I'm tearing my hair out, you horrible, lovely asker, and pretend that this doesn't conflict with my by-Doctor rankings):

Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords

Aliens of London/World War Three

Demons of the Punjab

Planet of the Ood

The Long Game

And just for shits and giggles, favorites with finales/two parters having to be graded BY EPISODE:

The Parting of the Ways

Gridlock

World War Three

The Big Bang

Heaven Sent

Daeron II is better person than me because unlike him, i will abolish House Bracken for 1) actively belittle my mom and trying to replace her as queen, and 2) strongest backing of blackfyre rebellion

[bulletproofteacup]

i mean i can see Toph coming into the position as a police officer from the sense of "these idiots couldn't police worth a single fried octopus and somebody has to do it right," but also any type of bureaucracy would instantly lead to so many ethics violations. Whoever thought of this makes me super concerned for their idea of policing

Reblog if you also think Toph shouldn’t have been a cop.

I want to see how “unpopular” this opinion really is outside cop-worshipping Reddit.

[dear-ao3]

so. as you may know it’s christmas eve. as you probably don’t know i am eastern european. and probably the only real tradition anyone holds onto is christmas eve. normally my great aunt does all the food and very begrudgingly sometimes lets everyone help make like. one thing.

well.

this year. the year of our lord two thousand and twenty four. she decided she was done cooking and it was up to everyone else.

so i got a phone call from my mom a few weeks ago being like hey so. you’re making the cake. got it? good.

the cake in question is a walnut cake. i was entrusted with my great aunts recipe about seven years ago. i’ve made it twice. the first time i fucked up the frosting quantity. the second time i fucked up the eggs. both times were passable at best and notably! my great aunt did not taste either of them.

and i have to make this cake. on christmas eve. it is dessert. for everyone. my extended family will all be eating the cake. the walnut cake. on christmas eve. even my great aunt.

so yesterday, december 23 if you are counting, i went on the annual Last Minute Christmas Food Shopping Trip with my father, watched him climb into the case to get his half and half like he does every year, and stressed about my cake as i made sure i had all of the ingredients.

then. we went to my great aunts house. where i was met with Trial Number 1: The Cognac

this cake has cognac in the frosting. not a big deal really. except for the fact that my mom hates that there is cognac in the frosting. (my mom is hell bent on making christmas eve dinner vaguely healthier. no one else agrees.) and i was to be making the cake in my moms house.

also important to note: we (as in my parents) do not own cognac. mostly because none of us drink.

so my great aunt is like oh i have to give you the cognac. cause she knows. i am baking the cake. the walnut cake. (my dad told her. he is a traitor). and i say okay. sure. this won’t be a problem at all.

so she gives me. a shot of cognac. and when i say a shot. i mean an Entirely Full Shot Glass of Three Hundred Dollar Cognac. in a jar. for the cake. the walnut cake. that i have to make.

upon bringing the cognac home my mom says no we’re not putting that in. the cognac sits on the counter in its jar. no one touches it.

then i was met with Trial Number 2: The Frosting.

this recipe requires a pound of chopped walnuts. first. i couldn’t even find the walnuts. my sister and i searched high and low and in every cabinet we could find but no nuts. i called my mom. and said mom where are the walnuts? and she said. “they’re in the nut bag behind the basement door.”

oh of course. how could i have missed the nut bag? a holiday bag full of bags of nuts that was half hidden by wrapping paper and also behind a door?

in any case. could i have used a food processor? absolutely. did i? no. half because i forgot and half because i didn’t want to accidentally grind the walnuts into a paste. so i enlisted the help of my younger sister to chop the walnuts By Hand while i embarked on the real devil: the frosting.

which remember. is supposed to have cognac.

so i cream my butter. i add my sugar. i’m careful not to over sugar. i taste it a million times. i add my coffee and my vanilla extract (instead of cognac. which is still sitting on the counter) and it was all going so well until. the butter rebelled.

now remember. one time when i made this. seven years ago. i made too little frosting. so i made more this time. and i thought i had all my conversions right but evidently i did not because suddenly there was too much liquid in my frosting and it split.

the frosting for the walnut cake that everyone was going to eat. on christmas eve. the very next day.

i felt like a contestant on great british bake-off getting smited by the tent.

so i did the logical thing and shoved the whole mess into the fridge hoping that it would sort itself out overnight.

then it was time to face Trial Number Three: The Cake Itself.

as i have said this cake is a walnut cake. the christmas eve walnut cake that has been at christmas eve longer than i have been alive. and it requires no less than ten egg whites. which i whipped and i added to my walnuts and shoved the whole thing into the oven in my two baking dishes.

only to discover no less than 40 minutes later that the batter in the pans was Not Even (despite my best efforts). so i cooked one longer than the other and hoped that i hadn’t monumentally fucked up the walnut cake. like i had the frosting. which was in the fridge. and i was ignoring.

which leads to Trial Number Four: The Egg Yolk Cake

see i had ten egg yolks. i didn’t know what to do with them. my mom said flush them. my dad said make a custard. i proposed making egg nog. my mom said she didn’t want it in the house cause it was too fattening (a blatantly incorrect statement. please, if you are reading this, go drink a glass of eggnog. or some other fun festive drink. food is for the soul.) so i produced a recipe for an egg yolk pound cake. i made it. i still don’t know if it came out good cause i haven’t tasted it. i hope it did. but that was not the point. the point is the walnut cake. the christmas eve walnut cake.

and the following morning i was met with Trial Number Five: The Frosting Part 2

first i threw my failed frosting back in the mixer and it immediately secreted a brackish combination of vanilla extract and coffee so i did the only thing i could. facetimed my dad and said “father there are problems abound.” and he gave me the fatherly advice of “make it again.”

and so i did.

with more correct measurements. still scared it would split at any second.

though it didn’t.

and i didn’t add the cognac.

maybe no one will be able to tell???

my mom said that if anyone asks the first batch of frosting failed and i had to toss it. this is technically true.

but i had frosting. i had two uneven cakes. and it was time for Trial Number Six: Decorating

decorating cakes is easily in my top ten least favorite activities. decorating the christmas eve walnut cake is easily in my top three least favorite activities. because i am terrible at decorating cakes. and also because it has a filling.

the filling is jam. and i once again made the wrong choice because i put the jam on first before the frosting. which to be fair is what the directions say. but as everyone knows, the directions in recipes you get from your eastern european great aunt are not the real directions. so now i had to smear butter cream. on top of jam. for the filling of the walnut cake. for christmas eve. that we would be eating in a few hours.

and we didn’t have a cake plate. we had a large dish.

i had to use my fingers. i had to use three spatulas. i got jam everywhere. but i did it. and as soon as i set the top cake on top of the filling i realized my monumental mistake: i was supposed to trim down the cakes.

so now they were uneven. and lopsided. and there was nothing i, a mere mortal tasked with the impossible task of making christmas eve walnut cake, could do about it.

so i continued to spread my frosting. which i had enough of. and tried and failed to not get jam everywhere.

in the end it was almost presentable. not great. slightly lopsided. and definitely not as nice as any of my great aunts cakes.

which left me with Trial Number 7: Chilling It

our fridge was being taken up by other important christmas eve things (though not as important as my cake. the walnut cake) so i had to put it in the car. which was fine because there is snow on the ground.

i covered my cake. the walnut cake. in tin foil and hoped i wouldn’t accidentally squish it. and then i went outside. i tried to steal my moms shoes to walk outside. she was not impressed.

“you know, saph,” she said. “some of the time you’re pretty great. the other half of the time you’re really weird.”

i could not agree more.

i put my cake on the trunk. prayed to the cake gods and went inside.

on the one hand if the cake is good, i will be stuck making walnut cake for christmas eve for the rest of my life. on the other hand, if it sucks i will never have to make another one.

Trial Number Eight: The Tasting still waits.
