#for you rita

[nym-wibbly]

So you get to promote one Doctor Who guest or victim of the episode to companion or recurring foe. Who are you going to pick?

Just one in sixty plus years? Harsh! But I'm picking Rita from The God Complex. She was great, and I would've loved to see her travel with the Doctor. Instead of, you know, dying horribly but nobly.

In an episode that examined and redefined Eleven's relationship with Amy, Rita threw a spotlight on what qualities the Doctor seeks in a new companion - and ticked every box for him right up to the moment of her death. Brave, truthful, forthright, quirky, honest, witty, quick, kind, fierce. Totally herself in the face of unthinkable terror. Rita for team Tardis. Any Doctor.

There are still smear campaigns going around about @predesterone / @predstrogen and it's only gotten worse ever since she got nuked by the ceo, so stay vigilant and keep combating any and all misinformation you see, WE CAN'T LET THEM FUCKING WIN THIS EASILY!!!!!!!

Okay so I've been wanting to tell you that you're literally my favourite twst artist 😭🩷

So my question is, how do you manage to come up with these funny comics? CUZ I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

(P.s: Lovin' the art style ✨)

oh geeze, thanks! 💚💚💚 I'm really glad people enjoy my stupid sense of humor; mostly I just draw things to make myself laugh, and if it makes other people laugh too, then bonus points! usually it's just one joke or mental image that gets stuck in my head (every time I saw Fellow spin his cane, all I could think about was him go-go-gadgeting away on it...) and in my quest to justify it, it picks up other jokes and bits along the way and usually doesn't even end up as the main focus anymore. entire narrative arcs have spun out just so I could use a single bad pun in a throwaway line. this is a terrible way to explain it but I'm not sure how else to put it into words!

and sometimes it's just "weird things my sister has said that I make fun of her for"

The Penumbra Podcast

[aropodcastfuck]

while i dont love the final season of tpp now that ive listened to the finale i will say as an aro person i am so grateful and honestly in awe of how they treat rita and junos relationship and ritas aromanticism especially in the ending

like throughout the entire show they have always shown juno prioritizing rita and they never diminished their relationship becuase it was "just" platonic, whether juno was actively with nureyev or not, rita was always still just as important to juno, his romantic connection never meant he cared about rita less

its so standard in any media that at the end the protag goes off with their love interest and everything else is secondary to that but penumbra said no, the platonic aspect of this relationship does not devalue it and rita being aroallo is never a reason for her to be deprioritized by anyone its actully so important to me

Juno Steel and the Things We Buried [get it here!]

I think there's a kind of fear that always comes with being in love. When letting someone else hold so much of you all at once. They could let you fall at any second if they wanted to. So how the hell do you get over that fear? Trust that they won't let you go, that they will hold you up, the same way that you hold them? And then I thought about a hotel on Mars a long time ago. A place where, to be honest, I let Nureyev fall. No wonder he was scared, no wonder I was too. But how the hell are we supposed to get past that?
