#and Whymst did they do it like that

[paranoidgemsbok]

Sitting in my car for 15 minutes on wikipedia because a podcast brought up a van Eyck and I went and looked at it again and I didn't understand the subjects fucking 1400s hairstyle and I had to do research on what was going on, like physically

[time-to-write-and-suffer]

So I recently was intrigued by the idea of a ship between two characters who canonically hate each other because I think there's potential for interesting character development and interaction that the canon material is too lazy and/or inept to explore, and so I go into the tag looking for some interesting takes or headcanons.

Mostly dom/sub shit and yaoi leftovers.

Can't have shit on tumblr.

Mmmmkay so finished The Midnight Club and I need to know when season two is immediately please and thank you.

And also whymst the fuck did we not get to hear Cheri’s story. There were eight kids and ten episodes how do you not make that math work ugh I don’t understand and object. Yes she is canonically a pathological liar who by her own admission made up a half a dozen wildly outlandish claims that she stated as absolute fact per episode but that’s no excuse, that doesn’t count as her telling her story. Rude. Uncalled for. Will be writing to my senator about this.

Still trying to decide whose story I liked best this season. Natsuki and Anya’s were probably my favorites or at least the ones that hit me hardest but Spence’s was a fave as well and Sandra’s didn’t leave the impact those other three did but I still liked it on a more superficial level because I’m a sucker for noir and it was very fun and experimental and also not what o expected from Sandra at all. I mean the others did say all her other stories were just different variations of angel porn Lolol.

Amesh’s story was surprisingly in the bottom half of the stories over all - surprising because he’s easily one of my fave characters but his story just didn’t do anything for me. Maybe it was because I feel like I’ve seen that end of the world war games simulation set up used so many times elsewhere? Or maybe I’m like Natsuki and just hated the ending he gave it lol.

But Ilonka and Kevin’s were easily the weakest stories of the bunch for me. They just….didn’t feel like they had as much substance as the others? But then again that kinda makes sense because the trade off is the two of them easily got way more characterization and focus on their overall arcs than any of the other characters so there was less need to use the stories they told specifically as vehicles to give their characters more depth. In comparison Natsuki got very little focus outside of her relationship with Amesh, other than a couple scenes here and there, so the writers really brought their A games to her story episode to compensate for that.

Anyway, excellent show was excellent, a really strong first season and I need the next one now. Soon please. I hope Sandra comes back and isn’t just an occasional guest star but they find a way to keep her tied into things more directly than that.

I called the Julia thing from like her first appearance lol, and I had a strong hunch about Athena, so wasn’t surprised by either of those twists but I wanna know why Ilonka and Kevin are the only two who can see the ghosts of the couple who first built the house….I’m wondering if maybe it could be a reincarnation thing?

Like maybe they also did the ritual the Paragon tried to do, for extending lifespans, but the way it actually works is it makes the person able to reincarnate or able to potentially possess someone else if the right conditions are met? If it’s something like that, Kevin and Ilonka’s stories both had elements that could potentially be seen as hints or nods to those possibilities. But that’s definitely the mystery I’m most curious about seeing addressed next season.

Also they’re not allowed to kill Amesh next. I abjure this. I rebuke it. The shadow can fuck right the bell off. Take Mark instead. Go repo Julia’s overdue ass. Whatever.

Concerning the comics, do you dislike Thanos himself or the Black Order's previous (?) affiliation with him?

A mix of both but primarily the former. Thanos is my least favorite fictional character in existence so I’ll always grind my teeth at The Order’s subservience to him seemingly without much reason in the earlier comics aside from “they’re evil and Thanos is the biggest evil so they worship him!” because to me it’s boring. I don’t like god-mod characters and Thanos is the epitome of that trope. “He’s so powerful that only gets defeated by the heroes because he subconsciously wants to lose as punishment, isn’t he just the most tragic villain ever ;A;” gags

Regarding The Order’s affiliation with him I don’t.. MIND it, in fact I do like it as a set up for their coming together, I just wish it was written where the characters had some more agency and Marvel would actually allow them to move on once he’s gone. Admittedly with the Thanos 2019 comics they did seem to attempt this (despite how many holes it poked in the known canon among other things), and I liked some of the ideas presented, mainly The Order starting out as hired mercenaries with Proxima and Maw, I loved that a lot, and how their loyalty is conditional so long as they are benefiting from the partnership (maybe not as flip-floppy as they were in the comics) and are willing to dip out if they aren’t. THAT I really like even though that was clearly never the case in previous comics lol. The problem is that I- love Proxima SO MUCH, and I hate Thanos SO MUCH so my brain doesn’t want her anywhere near him, especially as some mindless lackey because she deserves better lol. Also my issues could stem from my primary introduction to The Black Order came from the MCU where they are VASTLY different characters than what they are in the comics, and far less developed so I had a lot more room to headcanon and make up my own stuff about them freely before I started looking into them in the comics (which could also explain my mixed feelings about how they’ve been written lately in the comics post-Thanos). I do want to preface that I don’t have a complete knowledge of The Order’s history because I can’t find complete lists of all the comics they’re in. Though from what I can find I’ve read most of their content if I’m not mistaken, but I’m sure there are some more obscure minor appearances that maybe explain some things that haven’t been listed anywhere that I’ve missed.

If I were to throw in my input and talk about MY rendition of The Black Order which is how I choose to write them based on my own personal tastes in my side AU where the Marvel Universe is much less CONVOLUTED(the same AU all my Ronan and Crystal content exists in), I have things set up jumping off the initial ideas of Thanos 2019, where the mercenary group Maw and Proxima were in were initially hired by Thanos, with Cull (I refer to Black Dwarf by his MCU name because I like it better lol) and Corvus being added later. And the affiliation is very conditional from The Order’s perspective. The Order are always watching and judging and gauging whether or not the partnership is worth maintaining, Maw and Proxima especially, and even though I try to write for Thanos as little as possible because I hate touching him and only do what’s absolutely necessary, he can feel the pulls of their defiance at times (with Proxima ESPECIALLY) and has to really think about how he holds onto them, hence the change from hiring adults to kidnapping children who are much easier to condition. Think of them as akin to the hyenas and Scar in The Lion King, loyalty and a willingness to do as they’re told until they stop benefiting from it (though the fear of being hunted down and killed for disloyalty keeps them there as well) and later on realizing, and some having known from the beginning, that they’re meant for more than just being servants and want more for themselves. But that’s in my perfect would. 

What I mainly don’t like about how The Order were written under Thanos in the canon is that they’re just lackeys with not much to them, we know nothing about them like when or why they joined (prior to Thanos 2019 ofc but even then we still don’t knew when or how Cull and Corvus came into the picture), just that they did and that’s all that matters. They’re there because they’re evil and that’s about it, they’re blind followers with not a single thought going on in their own heads. That did change over time of course but The Order are STILL functioning under a “what if Thanos comes back” basis, like they’ll have no choice but to go crawling back to him whenever/if he does because that’s just what they do? I knew Marvel would never keep Thanos permanently dead in the comics like they said they would lol I called bullshit on that from day one. When Maw mentioned Thanos’ return in Star #5 I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my mouth because I KNEW that was coming (though I do appreciate how Proxima didn’t give a single shit about it lmao). There was also something said preceding the Black Order solo comics in 2019 about how Corvus will still ALWAYS choose Thanos above all else, even his wife and brother, which made ZERO sense??? and also I wasn’t sure why this needed stating when Thanos was canonically dead in the comics following the statement that he’d be perma-dead. It felt like they just weren’t gonna let him grow as there was always that possibility they’d bring Thanos back and send The Order right back to him, undoing all the development they’ve done without him like they’ve done before. I remember when Thanos made Corvus kill himself after he returned and formed a new Black Order and Proxima just... didn’t react to it, though this seemed to be retconned after the universe reset so I’m still confused about that. I also think about how in the Death Sentence novel (and I know this kind of exists in it’s own separate universe but just discussing the overall mentality of writing The Order), again Corvus in particular is written like he needs someone to lead him or he can’t even properly function and he even has a full blown emotional breakdown when he realizes Thanos is back and I just… hate it. Him and Proxima “needing” Thanos to be their god and lead them it’s just stupid and weird and I can’t stand it. I remember Proxima even makes an internal statement about how Corvus falls apart when he doesn’t have someone leading him???

So my main issue in regards to Thanos’ affiliation with The Order as it’s written in the canon is that they’re written as if they can’t do anything without him, ofc this is all before the big universe reset with The Challenger where Thanos is supposedly dead for good but we all know that isn’t true. They were given some agency when they were on their own but with the mention of Thanos in the recent Star comic I have… little hope for them remaining their own thing. They talk about how they don’t want to be servants and how they want to do their own thing then the writers have them fall right back into their old beats of being servants for someone and chasing infinity stones and worrying about what T fucking Hanos will think when he comes back and I just…….. want more for them. I want them to be more fleshed out as characters and have actual ambitions and goals that align with their actions. Because they’re such interesting characters that I genuinely love(well most of them) and have a lot of potential, and I want to see them grow and develop and actually follow through with what they say and not get dragged backwards every time the plot requires them to. I’m still catching up on all my Black Order related comics (there aren’t a lot of complete lists of their appearances out there for me to refer to sadly but I’ve read most of the major ones I believe) but all I really want is for them to finally and actually be able to move on from Thanos. Especially with Corvus because (prior to Star #5 which I’ll expand on in a sec) it makes him look fucking stupid to have him default to “we chase the infinity stones because that’s what we do” after having them talk in previous comics about about how they want to be different and work for themselves, and Black Swan is like “chasing the stones has only ever made us miserable, whymst are we doing this???” and have her bring up valid points about how they don’t need to and Corvus is still just like “nope, nope we gotta.” and doesn’t even explain why. And now apparently that ‘why’ is because they expect Thanos to return? Or at least Maw does? I choose to believe that Corvus wanted the reality stone because it could give them some protection from a possible return of Thanos and allow them to stay together and do as they please like they want. To “forge their own reality” as Corvus said in the Death Sentence novel ironically, that would at the very least be a reason to continue infinity stone hunting that I’d be on board with.

I dunno, lol perhaps my lack of the full scope with missing a few things from sporadic comics and just my own personal views and tastes regarding the characters clash a lot with how the canon wants to portray them and at the end of the day that just is what it is lol. I didn’t intend this to get so long and.. rambly, the subject of Thanos in general gets me on a soap box and I never know how to get off aah. But yeah I hope that made some semblance of sense? The main gist of the story was really that sentence about loving Proxima and hating Thanos so I just naturally want her nowhere near him; and it was actually that affiliation that put me off of The Order for so long before I finally saw the light and realized they’re all vastly more interesting characters than he is LMAO. But I’m gonna stop because this just hit it’s 3rd page in my google docs and I’m starting to get embarrassed wheezes :’D

[distractionactivated]

I saw Star Wars.

okay.... forreals, what the fuck was that.

(my twitter thread, plus extra content that doesn’t fit in tweets)

that was a WAY more dystopian film-going experience than last time i went (early 2018...) - disney ads. disney trailers. like one other trailer. plus an ad for sky that started off as an ET faux-sequel and was like movie-short length? and kinda cute. but an ad.

then TWO features advertising tros aka THE FILM WE WERE THERE TO SEE, inc one that was first like loads of schmaltzy nostalgia and like 'the ending will feel... perfect. the inevitable culmination to an immortal story' and like i'm sorry but if you have to say that something's up.

i HATE that they still treat stormtroopers as disposable even after introducing MORE DEFECTORS and hammering home, over and over, that these were people's children. NO. me and my dad came up with the perfect place to start the stormtrooper rebellion - on the destroyer that fired on the planet. whatever planet it was (see below).

lives in general are still being treated carelessly - like i HATE the whole ‘heroes turn up to a place full of civilians, villains turn up, heroes narrowly escape, civilians are massacred’ thing, and it happens at LEAST thrice more in this film. i played someone who was That Wanted by the villains and you know what i did? *attempted to stay away from people. helped them evacuate if i couldn't* - and that, like these, was a character deliberately designed to be capital-G Good. kehurie was a better jedi than anything disney can portray. there i said it.

anyway. i hate that they invalidated luke's sacrifice by having everyone still being hopeless, that leia's was so... small, and that they invalidated ANAKIN'S EVERYTHING BY THE SHEER PRESENCE OF. THAT ASSHOLE. star wars sequel trilogy answer for your anakin crimes. let anakin matter. that helmet should NOT be a dark side artefact. it should be light side. also. HE WON. HE BEAT PALPATINE. what this means is that we can’t believe killing palpatine will ever stick.

also, like, how the fuck were there that many sith. how the fuck did they get those destroyers. whymst the fuck. fuck you jj, have an original idea. like 1 original idea.

i hated a lot of the middle - that c3po plot was stupid and unnecessary. if they were going to spend all that time on it, they should’ve been prepared to engage with his sacrifice as more than a joke/something to be retconned two minutes later. OR they should’ve had the reset shake free his pre-ROTS memories. that would also have been cool! suddenly c3po remembers the little boy who made him... oh wait, anakin’s not cool now. sorry.

the lightsaber fight on the death star dragged and why the fuck was kylo winning. rey wasn’t allowed to be feral this film in general. deeply unfair. badly mistreated. and it was very much... not invested in rey’s competence.

is there ANYTHING you can do to a ship in star wars to stop it being functional? why couldn’t rey fly the death star to sithney land? apparently ships submerged under the water don’t decay, ships left for scrap don’t get stripped... wtf?

all the normal things about rose being sidelined, of course - not okay, she was a joy for the few moments she was on screen and she should've been there more. she should’ve been the lando of the sequels - at least that fundamental.

finn/poe definitely should’ve been a thing, and the woman in the cool mask and less cool catsuit was shoehorned in.

love lando, he gets shit done... (i didn’t like the whole ‘the last jedi’s whole DEAL is ‘actually, hope is back’ but jk no it’s not’ and also, that’s not how anything works? but i did like the whole ‘lando joins, and SHIT GETS DONE’). love jannah, she was a joy.

the actual end bit, with rey and the lightsabers? that was cool. (narratively bad, but visually deeply cool.)

and i have to admit... if it hadn't been for the romance thing, i would've liked the ben solo stuff. i know, i know. but i felt a whole emotion when he was talking to han (wished it had been leia but obv there’s reasons for that), and i have to say... the idea that you can literally kill the darkness in someone is deeply appealing. impractical. but appealing. also, i regret to say that i get it about adam driver now. kylo dressed badly but pare it back to ben in a long tshirt + driver’s acting choices and uh...

OH WAIT THERE WAS THAT BULLSHIT WITH HUX. THAT WAS STUPID. ANYWAY.

i hate rey palpatine as a concept, i hate anything to do with palpatine’s presence, let rey be no-one. it’s fine. normal people do things. (i also hate poe as spice smuggler? sorry, he’s the kid of two war heroes and deserted the imperials. fuck off with this ‘he needs to be han 2.0′ bullshit.) my dad also picked up on the subtext that shmi may have been in a similar boat to rey? which is DOUBLE BULLSHIT. like, again, shmi’s lot was horrible and unfair and let the poor woman rest. let her be a desert prophet from nowhere. don’t saddle her with the palpatine bloodline. not everything is bloodlines.

(sidenote: when leia was like ‘don’t be afraid of what you are’ i was like HEY NOW BE BRAVE AND MAKE REY TRANS bc that’s what that statement means to me. i am not my parents. i’m certainly not my grandparents! i’m very much their grandchild, but only for social reasons, if i’d never heard of them i wouldn’t be.)

ANYWAY that's my tros opinions, i probably have more, but tl;dr 1/5. the one is like... there were some cool effects and shots. (rey's desert flip? amazing. transcendent.)

[gender-trash]

finally got back into watching bnha for some reason[1][2] and just finished the sports festival arc (in which i pointed at nearly every character[3] indiscriminately and yelled THATS my BOY at my laptop); now moving onto the Iida Takes It Upon Himself To Mete Out Vigilante Justice arc :(

my boy... my sweet lad... why do you DO THIS.  whymst you torture me like this, i KNOW whats coming up even without midoriyas dramatic foreshadowing

[1] normally i engage with tv shows/anime by watching a few episodes, consuming a million words of fanfiction, absorbing the original plot by osmosis, and never bothering to watch the rest of the source material

[2] i have been very Stressed lately and i need something to watch so i don’t fucking lose it.  also, although it is a shonen it is at least more condensed than,  like, naruto or fairy tail, so i don’t get bored halfway through an interminable 10-episode fight sequence

[3] i also yelled at characters whomst are Bastards, e.g. grape fucker and endeavor.  i hate endeavor so FUCKING much in this arc; uraraka please yeet him into space so i dont have to look at him anymore

HEY ALSO SIDENOTE WHY THE FUUUUUCK DID THEY CHAIN BAKUGOU UP TO THE PODIUM.  WAS THAT FUCKED UP OR WHAT!!!  I KNOW HES AN ASSHOLE BUT LET THE BOY ABSTAIN IF HE WANTS TO

Opinions on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and what Tina Fey did with Jacqueline and Kimmy/Deirdre?

rant time about a Netflix series that’s ended that I’m uncomfortably passionate about! sorry in advance!

I know it wasn’t solely Tina Fey’s fault, but I’m still bitter about it tbh. like, the fact that Kimmy ended the series single and thriving and Jacqueline ended up with Zachary Quinto is like... whymst! 

first of all, I just wanna say that Jacqueline was so much better when she was a single lady, especially when being a boss bitch with her talent agency. like, she’s overall a much more palatable character when she’s not actively seeking out a man or with a man which is probably one reason I hate season 3? like, I can’t properly express how happy and relieved I was when she broke up with Russ because it was just... that whole storyline with the Snyders was fucking terrible (except for Meemaw and the “I had sex with your dead grandmother’s ghost!” line. I can’t stop thinking about it to this day.).

as for Jacqueline and Kimmy, I’m just like... :-) why they couldn’t give both my gay ass and the gay asses of many gays on Twitter what we wanted, I don’t know. when Jacqueline was like “oh Kimmy, I could just kiss you!” and then was going to, and then was like “but... we shouldn’t... because...”, I was like... and why not? WHY NOT? and the look on Kimmy’s face was like ...why not? and you know what? she was right. why not a little smoochy smooch? even if it didn’t contribute anything to the rest of the storyline. I’m just... :-))))) there were so many moments where it’s like... why not just stick them together? why? not? it would be adorable, it would make more sense than fucking Russ and Zachary Quinto, it would make the plot so much better and not as scattered and messy as it was at one point. but you know what? that’s fine (no it’s not, I’ve just accepted that they most likely won’t do anything with them in the interactive special. kinda.).

Jacqueline and Deirdre stressed me out. Deirdre had a very obvious conflict kink and clearly enjoyed the tension between Jacqueline and herself and it’s like... don’t get it to the point where these bozos are like, into the conflict and tension and almost kiss in a room full of people and then take it away from me. and guess what? BOTH JANE AND ANNA WERE LIKE, “WE COULD SEE A HATE FUELED SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP AND ARE TOTALLY DOWN FOR IT”. BUT THEY DIDN’T DO IT.  like, fuck y’all. fuck your moms. fuck your lives. fuck y’all.

in conclusion, Jacqueline deserved better which was literally to be with ANY FUCKING LADY. ANY OF THEM. also Tina Fey has done this to/with Jane Krakowski on multiple occasions on both 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and I need SOMEONE to give me more Gayne since Tainta Fart refused.

✧ *: ･ﾟ HANG WITH ME *:･ﾟ✧

[poewasright]

talk to us about why poe was right.

WELL FIRST OFF the idea that holdo comes in here and treats him like shit and she’s somehow the “”””good”””” one here is buck fucking wild like that is so unprofessional and fucking shitty and was so clearly designed for rian to jerk himself off over what a good “feminist” ally he is

SECOND OF ALL HER ENTIRE PLAN RELIES ON THE IDEA THAT THE FIRST ORDER WON’T AT ANY FUCKING POINT LOOK OUTSIDE!! THEIR SHIPS HAVE WINDOWS!! THEY HAVE EYES!!! THE SHUTTLES WERE CLEARLY VISIBLE!!! and poe was right! they got picked apart by the first order because the shuttles did not have any shields or weaponry! 

anyway okay

so poe is a VERY HIGHLY RANKED OFFICER he has been a commander since he was in the new republic and he’s made commander pretty fucking young so like. clearly he’s good at his damn job. why is. her first fucking instinct. “humiliate and degrade one of the highest ranking officers i have and make sure he doesn’t trust me what does that. accomplish. HELLO??? RIAN???? ANSWER MY QUESTIONS PLEASE I HAVE SEVERAL???? all it does is make him not believe in her which is probably not the best fucking course of action at this point but yknow whatever whatever i’m not bitter

also WHY IS SHE HIDING THE PLAN? IT IS NEVER NOT ONCE GIVEN A REASON? also considering how easy it is for poe to find people to mutiny with him she clearly didn’t tell like OTHER people either so she’s just floating along like “teehee i’m so Wise” while the rest of the resistance is like “hey what the fuck is happening what are we doing this doesn’t make any sense” and what’s poe supposed to do???? just let her go on being shady as fuck?? and scare his people because she thinks that hiding the plan is a good idea?? no that’s fucking stupid! she has done N O T H I N G to earn his (or anyone elses) trust so yeah obviously they’re worried and instead follow poe who yknow they do trust and who yknow does tell them the plan and doesn’t act like they don’t deserve to know

also point 700 of my ted talk

whymst

the fuck

does she wait

so long

to ram

the fo ship

whymst the fuck is the entire point of poe’s “””””arc”””” supposed to be learning to wait and not sacrifice himself when she then turns around. and does. the exact same thing? and is hailed as a hero for it? while poe is vilified? (you don’t have to tell me I Know Why) 

she could’ve set the ship to autopilot! she could’ve had a droid do it! she could’ve turned the ship to the side letting it act as a shield to the shuttles! she could’ve rammed it SOOOO MUCH SOONER! it does not take that long for the ships to make the jump to hyperspeed! we’ve seen older ships do it way faster! 

anyway the whole thing was bad and i hate it thanks for coming to my ted talk

[terezipyropescrocs]

ok so,, after Two Whole Months i finally sat down and watched the dw christmas special EVEN THO now i kind of wish i hadn't bc the next episode doesn't come out until octoBER???? whymst. really long rambly thoughts under the cut

i starting crying when clara showed up. i am... a SAP.

the final reunion with bill and nardole was so good... i was still crying btw. occasional episode here or there aside they were the first companions i spent significant time with and I'm Love Them + am so relieved that they got closure with twelve

BUT i still have so many questions?? like what IS up with bill and heather?? i couldn't tell if they implying that bill actually DID die last episode, and that scene was heather like... recruiting her for testimony? or something else. idk i just thought that was a bit confusing, especially since the ending they got was one of my favorites

WHERE WAS MISSY............... i'm gonna take this as confirmation that she's still alive bc like....as much as i live for Tragic Sh*t, the idea of her finally coming around to the doctor's side after all this time, only for her to die because of #iconic self-sabotage, and then for the doctor to never even find out about it is Just Too Fucking Sad

also because if they miss the opportunity to have one of the longest running and developed complicated ex-friend nemesis hero/villain redemption arc ships Of All Time written as a f/f romance i'll never forgive them

i mean IN GENERAL i'm pretty disappointed with the seeming unavailability of possible interactions with past companions/love interests for thirteen,,, like i feel they've pretty much finished/written out river's arc even tho?? i would THINK that just because the last time she sees the doctor has already happened that doesn't mean the doctor can't see her again? Let Thirteen Meet Her Wife

twelve: "no one can know my name. literally no one. except maybe children. sometimes. but oTHER THAN THAT NO ONE" river song: ???????????.jpeg

LMAO but seriously other than that i really loved the regeneration scene ;_;

the ‘i’m standing right here and you can’t see me’ parallel

i've never seen... any classic who, at all, but i did really enjoy the first doctor

HOWEVER, i realllllyyy did not get the point of him making sexist comments as a running gag... :/ like, okay, maybe that's how he was written at the time, but it doesn't actually make any sense in-universe... he's from a more advanced (granted still terrible) alien race that can regenerate as different genders with no change to their position or treatment in society, plus he has access to future human civilizations and other aliens species that don't have the same social constructs so............ i just feel like it was pretty lazy, and they could have easily updated his writing for a modern day audience

another :/ face at his reaction to bill mentioning her sexuality, twelve literally told her two episodes ago that he had a 'man-crush' on the master, which i'm still sore about btw, especially since the ensuing conversation made it clear he meant it in the genuine, actual romantic interest way

MISSY PLEASE COME BACK.

i was super hyped to see rusty again!!!!! i was worried there for a minute that i wouldn't recognize his 'old friend', so it was a relief to see that it was him, especially since i'd actually been wondering what happened to him

i am a bit confused though, as to why he's just... chilling. i mean, yeah he's destroyed a lot of daleks, (or at least their armor??) but i'd of thought he'd be traveling the universe to do it instead of sitting around shooting them from inside a tower whenever they show up

the changing what day or smth it was solution made no sense to me........seriously could someone please explain this to me lmao

i love that there was no evil plot... i love that you could say all of twelve's companions have become The Doctor in their own way, traveling the universe helping people, being kind

sorry i just got distracted thinking about how the master and missy were this close to making out and i
