#apologies for the rambling

[paris-in-space]

I need to get the thoughts I’m having about Doctor who out because if they just stay circulating my head I don’t know if I’ll be able to get to sleep it’s been 2 hours and I’m tired but my brain is refusing to shut down.

So, Dot and Bubble spoilers beware. Also these thoughts will be in the order I think of putting them down not in the chronology of the episode.

Weird place to start but one thing I got caught up on was the style of makeup that the majority of finetime characters had, like it was heavy and unflattering but in a way that seemed like maybe they were trying to go for a more natural look. And I’m sure there is something to be taken from this about the way people present themselves online but I’m too tired to do proper analysis it just struck me early on that I didn’t like the makeup. (It did feel fitting though)

I literally went “OH SHES BEING RACIST” out loud at the end. I do admit that although I did notice the weird vibes in Lindy’s responses to the doctor I didn’t pick up the exact meaning until that last scene, but then so many things clicked into place and made sense once I understood that fully. Like when she responded badly to the doctor appearing on the screen a second time I took it as irritation at his persistence, didn’t even think for a second that she didn’t realise it was the same guy.

Lindy deserves to get eaten by a slug.

Ricky September you deserve so much better.

(Not going to lie I didn’t think he was as attractive as everyone was making him out to be no offence to the actor I think it was a case of the weird makeup strikes again)

The lack of human connection is another thing that really stood out. This is the second episode this series to feature the concept of people never being hugged, albeit in different contexts. Just everyone being so focused in on themselves that basic human connection isn’t present in their society is such a sad thought, no wonder it turns out people like Lindy with no value for the lives of others and understanding of cultural differences if she has no meaningful relationships in her life at all. Just. Hug your friends guys (as long as they’re comfortable with it I know some people struggle with being touched)

The Doctor failing is such a rare thing, like of course there are tons of occasions where the Doctor can’t save everyone but they always try and almost always save at least someone. But these people cannot be saved, and it’s not the slugs that they can’t be saved from, it’s themselves. I think the lack of explanation into the detail of what actually was going on ties into this, because this time the Doctor doesn’t get to do a little “Here’s what’s been going down I saved you look how clever I am!” Because even the Doctor, the most caring wonderful being in the universe can’t save people who refuse to change and accept his help just because he’s different. The unfinished downer feeling feels totally intentional. Like, these people suck, the Doctor doesn’t get to experience a conclusive win, so neither do we as the audience.

The fact that this episode took place in the future too, they really said, just because time passes and things look like they’ve developed, societal issues have not disappeared and are still prevalent (I am white just so you know that’s the perspective I’m coming from) I think it’s a much more powerful way to address racism by putting it in a future setting than in the past. It’s very easy with historical settings to look at a piece of media and be like okay so the racism is awful but that is how it was, it’s uncomfortable but we can sort of look around it because everyone was doing it back then. But you put it in the future and you can’t look around it anymore because it should not be happening, should no longer be culturally acceptable. I’m struggling to put into words exactly what I mean, but it’s the difference between oh times were different back then it sucks but that’s how it was and times are not that different there’s still a massive issue to address here we can’t just sweep it under the rug of the past if we actually want things to be fair for everybody. It definitely made me think a lot more than a similar situation in a historical setting probably would have (not that that wouldn’t make me think but this has more impact)

On a more lighthearted note, the Dot flying around reminded me of the baubles from Runaway Bride. This is Doctor Who you cannot escape the floating balls.

Ruby doing the hair tuck seeing Ricky… she’s so real for that.

Overall I really love the concept of everyone so caught up in their own little world that they fail to see the horrors right before them. And it all comes back to the importance of human connection and understanding.

This has got to be the most thought provoking episode in a long time, and I’m sure there’s more thoughts I’ve had that I’ve forgotten to mention here.

I’ve never been 100% sure of what sport I believe Iceman would have played. The poll I posted a whole back was supposed to help me but I still had mixed feelings. However, I had an epiphany today.

Moving from place to place to different sides of the country to different countries entirely was never fun. It was easier when he was young, children are quick to makes friends, but as he grew older it became more complicated.

His father was always… supportive of his athletics. Not that he cared which sport his son played, all that mattered is that he won. But moving around so much, never staying in the same place for too long made it difficult to bond with a team and more importantly made it difficult to track his personal success. His father never believed in him and certainly didn’t believe he was the one to score the winning goal because the team probably just handed it to him. It’s because of them that they won. Not that his father would know, no one ever showed at any of Tom’s games.

He found his passion for the water while in Hawaii, swimming for hours in the open waters made him feel as though he were flying. The endless stretch of blue reflecting the skies he yearned for became a safe space. His friends believed him to be insane for willingly diving off of some of the larger cliffs in the region, but he couldn’t even begin to explain to them the feelings it gave him. He was addicted and no matter the height he jumped from, he still had the itch off a desire for flight that was never satiated.

That’s how he got recruited by his friends for the swimming and diving team. There was no one else that would be able to pull off the stunts he did, no one on the team at the time with the guts to jump from the highest platform. Tom decided that he could make his own success this way, get his father to see his worth by winning competitions in the Kazansky name.

It helped that the Swim and Dive Team was the perfect balance of being on a team but completely reliant on his own performance. He genuinely enjoyed it. Even after they’d moved from Hawaii, no matter where in the country or what country they moved to, he could make people see how good he was in the water. He may have won school 1st place at the meet but more importantly he set records; Accolades he earned in his name and his name alone. Tom won nearly all of his events, pushing himself harder and harder just to have something to prove his worth, to feel more alive, to have something to make his father proud. And after getting accepted onto the Naval Academy’s Swim and Diving team his father would be proud, right?

Don’t agree? Then why on earth would I bother helping you? You’ll find that I have a much lower tolerance for bratty behaviour.

As for you, dear Rose, I’m inspired by your musical asks. Give me an instrumental recommendation, it can be absolutely anything, just no vocals.

-🫖

🎀

Inspired by my music asks? I would love some more recommendations from you, songs that you enjoy! I've already been enjoying the ones you sent me so far 💛

As for instrumental, I didn't know where exactly to go with this. There were a lot of different things that came to mind! Now, since you said absolutely anything, you gotta broaden that Brit mind of yours a little and bear with me!

Hurricane Season - Trombone Shorty a New Orleans jazz piece, so, so good. Horns galore!

Arabesque, No. 1 in E Major - Debussy It's Debussy, hahah, it's good, of course. Piano!

Light of The Seven - Ramin Djawadi From the Game of Thrones season 6 soundtrack. Such a good piece!

Now you see why I needed time to answer this, I could not decide on one song. They are all so different! Can't wait to hear your thoughts 😊

yk I was wondering how everyone was getting so much Blitzø hate merch but actually this makes perfect sense

So one thing I’ve noticed is that people’s DnD characters may vary but there is usually an underlying thread that they all have in common. This thread is typically related to what that person struggles with the most.

For instance, my betrotheds DnD characters: a bitchy warlock we had to bust out of two different pacts, a sassy barbarian, a reformed drow cultist, and a sunshine fighter cleric.

All these characters were wildly different but at their very core struggle was them grappling with their self worth. My betrothed struggles with their worth a great deal and even with different facets showing their characters all have that too.

Mine all tend to contend with different themes of loneliness and acceptance. Surprise, surprise, the little autistic gremlin yearns to have been met with more love and lasting friendships.

So we’re at breakfast. I am meeting a new friend of my betrotheds for the first time. It’s been twenty minutes since I’ve met this man. I say my theory. He laughs. He starts to describe a few of his characters but specifies that he often has healing aspects. He gives a very broad overview of their character arcs.

I ponder for a moment then said, “Would you like to have my assessment?”

He laughed, “Sure!”

“We’ve just met. It’s gonna get real.”

“Bring it on.”

“I think your struggle is that you feel you must offer something of value or service to people to be worthy of their love.”

His jaw dropped. His fork froze midway to his mouth. A potato fell. He stared into space as this sank in. Quietly he said, “Oh.”

I really love mocktails/non-alcoholic cocktails because they are super tasty and really interesting.

Sadly I am not an expert (yet), but the key difference between a mocktail and a juice is the punch. You need something to imitate the strength of the alcohol.

A common solution to get "the punch" is to add sugar, but it has its own issues (basically you need to add a lot of sugar). Another alternative is to use vinegar or a bitter drink, but if you make a mistake the drink becomes undrinkable.

Lately, they have started to sell fake alcoholic stuff. I am not talking about gin or beer without alcohol, but mixtures of herbs that have a strong flavor similar to the alcohol.

sometimes i get the thought that maybe i'm not actually gay because heteronormativity is just like that but then. just.

✨️women✨️

and my brain very helpfully says what if you're overreacting tho?? while i'm actively in awe of that actress in that scene in that movie. idk i'm tired

[gothbobas]

im so insecure about my art does anyone have a cure for this

i just feel like. idk. like I'm never gonna make it. and it's hard not to compare myself to other artists with better engagement than me. but i don't think my art is bad. i think it's because there's so many artists with it being the internet and all, and also algorithms kinda suck so. i dunno. I'm not gonna stop making art im not gonna quit trying i just get kinda jealous sometimes which also sucks cause i don't want to be. simply the artists dream of being able to make a living doing what i love

The Evolution of Blitzø’s Character Growth- Stolitz (Season 2.5)

Blitz starts off "When I See Him" not wanting to think about the complexities of his and Stolas' relationship, so he decides to focus on the one thing he does know: sex.

In "When I See Him" Stolas and Blitz are meant to be never on the same page, even going as far as to have Blitz only sing-talk as opposed to Stolas' Disney-esque style of singing.

He goes out of his way, excitedly looking forward to the sex they'll have afterwards. He's only thinking about the sex.

Full Moon happens and Blitz is hurt and betrayed, as he genuinely has no idea how to process the confession.

Beginning of Apology Tour Blitz attempts to win Stolas back, only for it to end horribly as he self-sabotages the fuck out of everything he has, refusing to let go of the mask he wears.

Later on...

Blitz is heartbroken to hear Stolas sing, and his admission, "I don't think you meant to hurt me because I don't think it meant a thing at all" destroys him.

He tries to make it right with Stolas (who is drunk), apologizes to him, lets go of the mask he wears, only to end up ultimately giving up and letting Stolas go in the end.

A month passes and Blitz has essentially given up on life, driving his business to the freaking ground...

One thing is for sure, he feels a lot of regret for what happened with Stolas, and has essentially given up on being with him.

A lot of shit happens to Blitz in Ghostfuckers as the trauma that he's kept buried for fifteen years is forcefully pried open with a wrench.

Only for Millie to be the one to save Blitz in the end...

Episode ends with major character development for Blitz as his mask falls off, and he promises to butt out of the M&M relationship, and as he subtly admits and acknowledges his feelings for Stolas....

What's beautiful about the Stolitz Duet in Mastermind is that it perfectly shows Blitzø’s character growth...

How Blitz went from initially thinking only about sex in regards to his relationship with Stolas....

How Blitz was never once was on the same page with Stolas in their first duet together...

Only to now be able to perfectly harmonize with Stolas in regards to their deep feelings for one another...

Stolas admitting that he sees Blitz as his shining light that taught him to be his own person...

To Blitz admitting that he sees Stolas as the key to his heart that he's kept locked up for years...

For them to finally sing in perfect harmony as they admit their genuine undying love for each other.

And when the fear of losing Stolas permanently, hits Blitz like a motherfucking truck...

He's finally... finally able to let go of his mask around Stolas as he does what he can to comfort him after he lost everything.

Showing the small bits of romantic intimacy that he couldn't reciprocate back in Apology Tour.

Blitzø Buckzo, you make me fucking sick... how dare you be this fucking soft and cute and tender and loving. This man is fully aware that Stolas is still angry at him, but he doesn't care, he's just happy to have his birb back.

Lmfaooo the amount of nonhumans and alterhumans who immediately cry that you need to be put into a mental hospital the moment you have a 'scary' symptom of mental illness is fucking insane.

I love you nonhumans and alterhumans with delusions

I love you nonhumans and alterhumans with intrusive thoughts

I love you nonhumans and alterhumans who are mean and aggressive when faced with what some may see as mild inconveniences

I love you nonhumans and alterhumans who need praise and validation to smile just once in their damn day

I love you traumatized nonhumans and alterhumans who react with rage

I love you nonhumans and alterhumans who experience 'gross' shifts

I love you nonhumans and alterhumans who have poor hygiene because of mental health

You guys deserve the fucking world and people who don't tell you to head to a mental hospital or to seek a doctor whenever you talk about yourselves.

Keep fighting, keep struggling, keep on moving. Make the world pay if it's given you a shit hand, don't ever lie on your back for anyone but yourself. Kill those who try and change you when you don't need the change.

I really want to draw an alternate comic for 'what if the Lamb agreed to sacrifice themselves' for Trod AU because that Narinder, if he revives them right after, would be so completely stoked on his freedom he's a rapidly bouncing atom next to a stun locked Lamb

So imagine: It's the gateway temple room, followers are celebrating the arrival of Death himself. Aym and Baal emerge also freed along with him. All is loud cheering and laughing as the Lamb stands there dumbfounded because aren't they supposed to be dead? The One Who Waits is laughing, there's deathly power flowing through the air it's almost practically visible, it's bright and light and everyone is ecstatic.

Then Narinder, still considered 'The One Who Waits and God of Death' by all followers and who is currently off his shits, picks up the Lamb in a spin, wildly laughing about his freedom, and then dips them in a kiss.

In the famous 'Sailor kiss photograph' type of way. Dude doesn't even think about it just goes for it. Consequences pending.

Do you think the crowd would go wild because I think they would go quiet for a second and then go absolutely ape shit

[angeart]

so i've been watching some random episodes of grian's hc 6 and so far this has happened:

villager grian decided to change profession and suddenly be a fisherman. which would mean nothing, but with grian's s10, i feel like that's now a Significant Foreshadowing /silly

grian has made his first little game. it involved a deathmatch of exploding other people to death via rocket-loaded crossbows and- get this- three lives

grian and scar didn't win, but they died so close to each other time-wise that grian wasn't sure who died first, and sort of merged their placement (grian died first in case you're wondering)

he said they should do something like that with more people and in a bigger area. mmhm

at a different occasion, grian threw scar off a high place and,

and when he then said through his giggles "oh i'm so- i'm sorry scar" i kid you not i had war flashbacks

when scar came back, he held a poppy

and he gave it to grian

i feel Very Normal about all of this.

[liauditore]

[hazbinshusk]

"Wow. I've never seen you throw 'em back like this."

blitzø, my guy, the first time you saw stolas in twenty-five years he was pounding absinthe like he needed it to live.

2 words, Levi + boobs

He's such a pathetic little loser begging to suck and touch them, he just can't get enough. Also imagine waking up in the middle of the night to him sucking them, he just couldn't wait til morning <3

Nsfw!

Two words I love omllllll-

‘n the first part is gonna sound a lil silly- probably- but it popped into my head and I don’t apologize :)

but Levi need to fidget with something 24/7 why do you think he’s always tapping away at his phone? It’s so he has something to do with his hands!!!

So obviously when you start dating his hands are gonna be on you more. Starting small like holding you hand ‘n playing with your fingers but as your relationship progresses….his hands move higher- like when you’re sitting in his lap and watching a new anime or whatever. Levi’s hands just resting on your chest, occasionally squeezing or you’ll feel his fingers pulling at your nipples.

It’s kinda weird he doesn't do it much during sex, but more subconsciously. doing it

Another example is like when you're both scrolling on your phones and you're leaning back against his chest, his hand would slowly, creep under your shirt and start squeezing.

It’s funny when Levi catches himself doing it too- his face burning bright red while stutters out an apology. Just remind him you really don’t mind-

Waking up to him sucking on them!!! >

Like your boobs just feel so good in his hands, so warm and soft~!!!

Levi thinks they deserve all the worshiping in the world and always makes sure to give them extra attention whenever he can. Like right now, while you sound asleep in his bed-

Levi slowly, carefully, crawls on top of you, sliding your shirt up, revealing your bare tits to him. and he just stares for a minute, watching as your tits rise and fall with every breath you take.

It’s looks so tantalizing, it’s like he can’t resist the urge to just…..touch them….just a bit.

so he gives in, his cold palm kneading your warm skin, ‘So, warm and soft…..’ he mumbles to himself, alternating between squeezing them roughly and massaging them almost lovingly.

Levi glances towards your face checking every few seconds minutes to make sure you’re not going to wake up, yet- a soft gasp falls from you lips when he gets a little bold and pinches your nipples,

Fuck it’s like you’re asking him to do this, to take care of them- how could he not?!

Your whole body shudders when little hot puffs of air hit your skin as he leans closer. can’t take it anymore, he needs them in his mouth, against his lips, to show you how much he loves them, loves you.

It’s honestly cute how much of a whining, panting mess Levi turns into as soon as he has a tit in his mouth. Your tits. suck, bite, kiss. he repeated this, kiss, bite, lick, suck…..until you finally wake up, finding an absolute mess of a demon practically drooling on you.

His warm mouth still latched onto your tit as, his big hand squeezes the other, making sure it doesn’t feel neglected until he decides to swap sides.

You can see a flash of fear in Levi’s eyes because you just ‘caught him’ sucking on your tits like a baby….whining too- But you just bring a hand up and push his bangs back, giving him a sleepy smile and sighing.

Fuck he could die happy, he mumbles something like, ‘Sorry I woke you up….’ but it’s muffled by your tit still in his mouth and he reallyyyyy doesn’t look sorry.

‘m not even gonna mention that Levi’s rutting his poor neglected cock against you the whole time and definitely cums in his pajama pants just from sucking on your boobs-

[thylacid]

could not sleep last night cause i was busy thinking about how funny it'd be for loop to come back on a onehat ending
