My weekly d&d campaign of nearly 3 years is coming to an end in another 3 or 4 sessions. Not just because the party is finally in the endgame and stepping up to the Big Bad, but because the living situations of two of my players are gonna be changing in August and they’re not gonna have the space to play anymore. It truly is the end of the era.

I note that I don't, and I never, was much of a fan of doctor-and-rose as romance, but that I -- rather than get annoyed at the romantic-coded scenes -- had a tendency to simply read them from a totally different perspective, and really maybe should have been a sign of sooomething different about me, that I continuously felt that the doctor's concepts of connection must be so alien, that to call it romance would be to diminish the actual Thing that they had, which was presented as such onscreen (to my mind then, now I realise what was happening, but I prefer what I had going on), which is basically that the doctor was a shell of a person, hurtling towards destruction (he would have died without rose in ep1), desperately lonely and sad and traumatised, and she retaught nine -- and by extension ten -- how to love the universe, at the same time as nine and ten taught her the same. (I think about the scene in father's day, where while they're arguing, rose says that she knows how sad he is, and he'll just hang around the tardis waiting for her -- she knew!)

and then on top of that with sarah-jane (which, I never watched the classics as a kid, so I didn't have that context for her beyond what the episode presented) it felt like that was sort of confirmed and made even more canon through this idea that the doctor is constantly mourning the inevitable deaths of their companions and would rather simply leave them behind at some point than watch that happen (and they've seen that happen before, although dying for a cause versus just... dying, because you die, while they don't, they just continue on and on, always seeking connection, always knowing that time will take them away, that's a whole other thing)

and then of course there's ten's... I would call it "sex appeal" because it's david tennant and with his performance there's immediately a bit of a focus on oh he's quite pretty and he faints/is knocked unconscious in both of his first episodes, and a lot more flirting, and the people want to see sparks or what have you... but the doctor as portrayed and written is still... not coming at it that way. yes yes girl in the fireplace but also, once again, doesn't work for me, because I find it soooo much more interesting that the doctor would imprint on A Life - and a life that they admire -- and speedrun the exact thing that they're most afraid of with their companions... that she ages and dies and it's the one thing that the doctor simply cannot stop

meanwhile rose is quite young and swept up in this whole massive adventure and very much reads the doctor not as an alien (frequently surprised by their alien-ness) and gets jealous of sarah-jane as if she's an ex, and renette as if she's... a replacement? but really it's more that the doctor met her at the point when she was about to accept her life as it was. not an exciting life, not a bad life, but always having to ignore the idea that there must be more to it than this. and the idea that she might be unceremoniously dumped back in that after seeing just how This the this could be, of course that's terrifying. and of course she's simultaneously taken with the dashing doctor and the jetset life, and worried she could be replaced, because to her the doctor saved her at 19 years old. in some ways the doctor created her (considering who she becomes after dooms day)

contrasted to martha who initially has a similar kind of experience, but the doctor doesn't meet her at the space she's in with them -- ten is leaning on her, like they did with rose, but not giving anything back unless kicking and screaming and traumatising her whole family. martha's trajectory is so so tragic, because she barely gets a taste of the splendor versus the horrors and the latter marks her for life. but she also knows to walk away from those overwhelming feelings, rather than give into them, she knows they'll never be rewarded and she also grows beyond wanting to be a crutch for the doctor (the fact that she then ends up as a soldier, well... ouch)

and then of course donna, who never has those fucking awe-feelings to begin with and whose connection with the doctor is explicitly de-romanticised but never placed on a lesser pedestal as if there's a hierarchy of alloromanticism. topples those pillars, never sees the doctor as anything but what the doctor is. good old donna. (sobs.) (but also... cautious hope for the specials.) (but also sobs.)

my point being. just don't buy alloromantic doctor, they're a near-immortal alien. it's such a dull simplistic way of reading their relationships to other beings. other point being. all those women who were making heart-eyes at ten, wish they'd met thirteen and had a... "yeah, this still works for me," moment. their horizons, too, are broadened by seeing More. (that or they realise they were never actually "in love" but just thought ten was a sexy skinny little snack and it blinded them.) (although jodie whittaker, too, is a snack.)

and lastly lastly ofc, is that if the doctor has a longterm (by doctor time measurement) intense relationship with anyone, whatever that might be called, it's the tardis. and that relationship is also so alien it cannot be quantified by human words for concepts

Good evening to everyone except the person who decided to have Haru disappear from the home screen after finishing the game

[c0rpsedemon]

ok fr last one but there's actually a bootleg of my school's anastasia and i'm linking it bc you all NEED to understand that my infatuation with this one girl's voice which started when i was in the 6th grade and still hasn't really worn off isn't based on nothing

[birdbeep1s]

made some teensy changes to D/Celean's design 😳 ofc i'd choose a pose that covered his outfit tho HAHA he's supposed to be wearing a hoodie under a letterman jacket

[just-slightly-chayotic]

me putting on a dress: jeff would look amazing in this. you can wear this. it's jeff vibes. it's gender.

Jon split with Caroline and moved back into his parents' place in Hampstead and we got on with the business of falling in love and finding a new guitarist. It was such a perfect moment in my life - everything was coming together.

With Jon there was more affection than I'd ever known. Sex was tender and adventurous. My other boyfriends were all planks of wood who were happy to get blown off and roll over. It was like learning to love from scratch. I couldn't believe Jon had never been with another man, though he swore blind. Eventually he admitted to once kissing his friend, but I always suspected he was hiding something.

My thoughts on THC ep 8

The new pairs?? Amazing. I'm so glad they switched it up

Fuaiz and Ta's VegasPete scene could have been so gut-wrenching but the cowboy costumes and background killed the whole vibe. They really made it hard for them. I couldn't take them seriously at all and started to laugh during a scene that I expected to make me cry.

When Mio and Copper held hands before their scene and Tong said that's what Mile and Apo always do <3<3<3

Mio and Copper were so smart to use the coat instead of a knife - and then even quickly explained why there was only one coat!! They definitely could have been a little more "aware" of their (imagined) surroundings, I agree with the judges there

Mio and Copper's reactions during JJ & Jet's scene (they were fangirling so hard and I GET IT)

JJ AND JET BLEW MY TITS CLEAN OFF HOLY SHIT they added dialogue in order to adapt to the scene change and even the new stuff was sooo in character!! And JJ actually went for the kiss... their performance really pulled me in and the tension was so palpable... I might need a second to recover from JJ as Kinn...

The fact that Mile had to clear his throat and collect his thoughts before yelling "cut" says it all

HOWWWWWWWW did we get from "there was supposed to be a kiss there" "yeah, but he seems hesitant to do it" to THIS- holy SHIT New and Bump what the FUCK

Also, the "actors are over 18 years old and got permission from their parents" LMAOOOO imagine *calls mom* "Hey mom is it okay if I kiss a boy and then he pushes me on a bed and goes to town on my neck?"

Mile yelling "cut" before it gets too spicy lmao too late the fanfic is already being written

"We rehearsed 100%. I thought we only performed 60% of it today." WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN NEW IF THAT WAS 60% THEN WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE THE OTHER 40?????

Also New trying to collect himself after the cut - not just as Bump gets off of him but even after he gets up. Same, babe, same.

TONG ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS because let's not forget these are inexperienced actors who didn't have an intimacy coordinator helping them so DID YOU TALK ABOUT HOW FAR YOU WOULD GO is the first question anyone should have asked (ideally before even starting with rehearsals but okay)

LMAO Tong and Apo being like "you deadass didn't have to make out for real tho - when we film we use camera angles and imagination" yeah um you literally could have told them sooner

I feel kinda bad for New. He always gives 110% and ends up trying too hard and it seems like his only response to problems/failure is to try harder and harder. He gets so lost in the characters he has trouble coming back out of them and ends up overacting and losing sight of essential points. He's doing it all and he's doing too much.

Everyone made so much progress. Even the ones that didn't do that well learned something from it. They should all be proud <3

yeah his friend who drew the mermaid one also drew the skateboard ghost. wouldn’t be surprised if she did a couple of his others. she’s got a style i love and he’s got so many hidden ones.

Yup!!! I thought the skateboard ghost for the longest time was actually a Sasquatch lmao, till I stumbled on his friends page, and realized one of her drawings looked familiar.

Stop hiding the tatts from us Nolan, let us all get a good look.

[ INSTINCT ]: Something isn't quite right with the receiver, and the sender knows it. In order to get them to open up, the sender prepares some tea.

@91cmspoilers CHEERING UP BOYFRIEND HOURS!!!!

{ Fancy a Cuppa? 🍵}

@91cmspoilers !!!

It wasn't a surprise at all to Shuichi, that Izuru could tell something was wrong with him. From his demeanor, to the expression on his face: it was clear as day, he was upset about something. Even when Izuru had come to visit, he didn't greet him with the usual eagerness and smile like he always would: more like a weak one, that even he couldn't hold up for long...

As his boyfriend proceeded to make him tea, Shuichi silently stared down at the table he was sitting at. ".........." Only when the cup is sat down before him, does he look up at him. "Ah. Thank you..." He takes a few sips. His favorite flavor.... With a soft exhale, he finally feels a bit more ready to speak. "Izuru.... why is your boyfriend so pathetic?" A bitter laugh leaves him. It was a rhetorical question, of course. He knows Izuru would never truly think that of him.... "Everytime I think I'm getting just a little better at being more confident in myself, someone just has to say the right thing to completely shatter that."

"Like.... some others at school earlier... 'die hard fans of Kyouko', they call themselves, teasing me about how... there's no need for 'two detectives.' That Kirigiri-senpai is the much better... m-more professional and fitting one. I-I mean, not that they're wrong, they're not wrong at all about that. B-But.... just because I specialize in more 'smaller' cases... that I'm much more meek and sometimes doubt myself... th-they said I'm just a 'laughable excuse of a detective.' Th-That she probably feels embarrassed to share a title with me, and that I should just drop out. They all said, while laughing at me..."

His hand grips the handle of the teacup tighter, simply recalling the moment. Having his skills as a detective mocked, throwing his insecurities right into his face... all while being laughed at: it was a mixture of the worst feeling ever. And as much as he wanted to respond, to snap back at them and tell them off: he couldn't. At that moment, he wanted to just...get away from them. And so, he ran off..all the way back to his dorm, and staying inside ever since. That's why he was only just now, seeing Izuru for the first time, today... "I..I hate it. I hate it so much...that I still let things like that, get to me. Those kinds of thoughts... would always plague my head, back when I was a new student at this school. O-Overtime, I slowly have gotten better and not thinking of myself so lowly. And yet...i-it still hurts... being told such things..."

He could still hear their laughing voices in his mind... it made him so angry, he honestly wanted to cry... "...I'm sorry. Izuru... for being such a big baby... and whining to you like this. I-I... really am happy you came to see me. Thank you..." He gazes back up at him.. he still looked upset, but that familiar softness in his eyes was there. The kind only Izuru can get from him... "Just seeing you, already helps me feel better...."
