universal healthcare is not broken and anyone trying to convince you it is is delusional and a dckrider for big health insurance. yes there are wait times but waiting for care is Not the same as being denied care.

in america your physician prescribes care and an insurer can still cuck you out of it because someone across the continent who has never met you can say: doesn’t seem medically necessary. Leaving you to handle a bill that is wildly inflated by the same insurers that just denied you.

let me drill it through your head you can pay thousands a year in premiums and still end up sick and financially burdened for years by One incident. no insurance company is Avoiding going broke by denying claims. theyre doing it to profit off your misfortune and your illness. Because healthcare fundamentally does not cost the amount that they claim it to be.

It’d be so incredibly funny if Rory the Roman (Power of Three Rory) got sent back to the past into Vampires of Venice Rory (his body) and both Past Doctor and Past Amy realise how different he is.

Rory the Roman didn’t realise it back then, but the 2 thousand years really did change him. He’s also more nonchalant about dying (which scares Amy)( and the Doctor a little bit because of Past Rory’s whole “You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you’re around.” quote

Rory has become more fearless, more of a warrior

Yet still kind, still himself

Even as Rory tries not to reveal himself as Future Rory, him understanding the timelines and fixed points so well makes the Doctor suspicious, doesn’t know what to do with him.

Also… Rory the Roman has so much trust in Past Doctor. While Vampires of Venice has none. It reminds Past Doctor of River

Also, Rory the Roman is less jealous than Past Rory

Here are some little snippets that could happen lmao

—

Past Amy POV:

“How do you know how to fight so well?” Amy questioned, trying not to stare at Rory’s…. eyes.

They were piercing, focused yet blank. Her Rory never used to look like that. It makes her nervous and thinks about what the Doctor said. An Imposter. If… If that Rory is an Imposter, then.. where is her real boyfriend?

Despite the differences, she could—she could still see her Rory in him.

“Hm?” He didn’t spare a glance at her, thankfully, he raised the broom in his hand mechanically, more like a soldier than a nurse. “Practiced.”

When? She stopped herself from asking. Instead, they ran to the next room, hiding from the fish alien things that were chasing them all

—

“So… She kissed me.” The Doctor mentioned out of the blue as they walked, repeating what he’d said before, trying to see if Rory was an imposter or not.

Rory made a face at that, grimacing, though he took a long pause before speaking, “So.” What did he say in the past again? “You kissed her back.”

This was a really strange situation to be in, and they had rebooted the universe before! Oh, it was incredibly hard not to think of this Doctor as family, but he knew he had to act less friendly towards him. It made him feel… bad.

Not too bad of course, but, he could empathise with his daughter like this.

oh bloody hell he couldn’t mention river during this whole thing can he?? He’s not supposed to know her!

The Doctor’s brow furrowed slightly but they continued forward.

oh how does River do this…. Trying to talk to younger The Doctor at Lake Silencio was hard enough, and now, the Doctor doesn’t even think of him as his father-in-law friend

He really needed to find a way to contact someone from his future.

OR PO3 Amy fully realising how selfish she was in VOV and noticing VOV Rory’s insecurities much more easily when she’s not burying herself in her own trauma, and she tries very hard to make it up to him, all while trying not to let the timelines fall apart

Just like Rory the Roman, she fails spectacularly hard

Although it was more because, VOV Rory’s unused to the sudden affection PO3 Amy is giving him

[transmasc-rose]

Ah. Ok. Hm. They did another major retcon and I'm not sure how I feel about this. (< story of Every Game after ac1)

In Brotherhood, when Desmond kills Lucy, you take control of him. He steps, very slowly, each action forced by the player, while he asks Juno (/you/himself) to stop.

In Revelations, when Desmond thinks back on killing Lucy, he says "I'm so sorry... it wasn't me.... it was that voice... Juno... she made me..." and collapses on the ground, either stuck in that memory or maybe desyncing with himself(?)

In ac3, Desmond says he DID choose to kill Lucy. Juno showed him Lucy taking the Apple to Abstergo, raising it into the sky with the satellite (a plan the Precursors had tried and failed, but the Templars don't know that), and failing, causing the world to burn. so he made the choice to kill her.

I think you COULD argue that the discrepancy between ac Revelations and ac3 was a mirror of the Apple's use in the ac2 DLC, with most marks confessing on their deathbed that they'd been the ones to choose, though a few maintained their innocence to their last breath.

But even the Apple has been wildly inconsistent. Whether it works on temptation or its Just Straight Mind Control differs! Pretty regularly! I don't think, for example, you could call Ezio's use of the apple in Brotherhood (forcing enemy forces to kill each other) or Altaïr's use of the apple in Revelations (forcing a man to kill himself) or Bloodlines (convincing a crowd to leave in a zombie-like state) to be a matter of "temptation".

The most obvious explanation is that the apple can do both/either (depending on what writer wrote that particular scene, or even maybe intentionally. Maybe) and that the scene in Brotherhood was written with the direct use in mind, until it was retconned to the temptation use in ac3.

And I don't inherently have an issue with Desmond willingly killing Lucy. If. You know. They wrote it like that. But I genuinely believe they didn't, and the plot makes LESS sense for it.

BAD WOLF TARDIS!!! BAD WOLF TARDIS!!! BAD WOLF TARDIS!!!

(p.s. can someone please explain why the TARDIS becomes part of the wall at sarah-jane's wedding?? (i don't watch sja episodes that involve the trickster on account of my deeprooted fear of that thing))

To soothe the pain, love, while I don't believe the Doctor - that is 1-12, the others might - ever SAID 'I love you' to River, I am convinced they taught her Gallifreyan just so she'd understand they kept tracing 'I love you' onto the back of her hand at random moments

Awwh! :’) I love the idea of the Doctor randomly tracing Gallifreyan on her skin to express all the things that they can’t say! I’d sort of thought River knew Gallifreyan instinctually with it on the TARDIS screens, but with her connection to the TARDIS being so inherent, maybe there’s no need.

…but now I’m imagining River recognizing (with their lives out of order), that the shapes he’s tracing are Gallifreyan circles. And maybe she’d connect the dots and study Gallifreyan on her own. And then she would understand what he’s writing — and start to take it wrong that he’s writing it but doesn’t have the guts to actually tell her, and she would overthink forever but not actually ask him…

Until the Doctor notices asks why she’s being cold — and then she tells him — and he says he thought she already knew—

(Crying and hugging ensues.)

“The drugs aren’t doing anything but giving me side effects. You and I both know that’s because I didn’t need them to begin with.”

“We’ve been over this Mr. Sevieller, you are in denial. We are only helping you here. If you can’t begin to see that, then your condition is worse than we even thought.”

“I am not in denial, I am not sick, I did those things because I am just a very bad person.”

Man I’ve been rewatching doctor who recently again for the first time in years it’s so fucking good . dormant hyperfixation. shoutouts to my 4th grade teacher Mister Lower who was a huge Doctor Who nerd and projected The Eleventh Hour onto the smartboard so our whole class of 8-9 year olds could watch

He also had a countdown to the 50th anniversary Day of The Doctor and we were all so excited. I think public schools should do this more

[chiropteracupola]

another silly little portrait

[sandymybeloved]

having conversations about doctor who with people you know in real like is a double edged sword, because on the one hand yay doctor who friends, but on the other sometimes you just have to stop yourself saying from saying something you'll regret when they have a bad opinion about moffatt

[theskoomacat]

M*uthwashing was good, the only things i didn't enjoy lie in the area of writing (but so do some things i enjoyed the most!) - but I expected more from it? kinda?
