can we talk about the brilliant execution of Dot and Bubble's big reveal!!!

i am still absolutely gobsmacked by what a well-written episode Dot and Bubble is. startling, disarming, confrontational, and tremendously impactful. and holy shit i really really want to talk about how excellent the 'twist' (which really should've been obvious in retrospect 😭 was done):

as a white person it took me about ten minutes to clock that Lindy's friend group were a nightmare Aryan Tupperware Party collective: all white, all blue-eyed, and even Gothic Paul was dressed in blues and whites, with no black at all. but you know how i responded to that? mentally i went 'oh i'm sure it's nothing!' and shoved it aside. and i think it is exactly that insidious tendency to ignore, normalise, and validate overt and covert racism that the episode does such a tremendous job of tackling! everything in the episode gives us the lore we need to understand Lindy and the people of Finetime are white supremacists. Lindy's disgusted face and immediate blocking of The Doctor versus the amount of time she spends with Ruby. Lindy's shock at the Doctor and Ruby occupying the same room implying segregation on the Homeworld. Lindy calling the Doctor and Ruby 'criminals' not for being in the Bubble, but for breaking segregation. Lindy using Ricky September, a white influencer, to calm herself down not just from the monsters, but from interacting with a Black person. the tradwife aesthetic of the Finetime residents making a comeback in real-life right-wing racist circles. ugh, there's so much and it was all right in our faces!! yet many of us who aren't POC had the privilege of going through the episode baffled and uncomfortable, without being able to put a finger on why until the final bit of the episode. doesn't that tell us how quickly and easily we've all taken to ignoring both micro and macroaggressions? that we needed talk of being 'contaminated', improper use of the word 'voodoo', and Lindy straight up telling the Doctor that face-to-face contact was unacceptable, to understand they're white supremacists? oh my God 😭😭 what a genius play, to make Lindy so detestable from the start. she's an arrogant, vain, self-absorbed, moronic, uncompromising, traitorous bitch...and by layering that abhorrent personality and then giving us the reveal of her white supremacy, there is no argument even the most wishy-washy of people could have re: their awful views. Lindy and her friends are revolting racists who are so wrapped up in their own echo-chamber 'bubble' that they would genuinely rather be devoured alive than challenge their own narrow, bigoted views. i'm still blown away by the power of Ncuti's final scene. the disbelief, the frustration, the sadness and the fury...and yet the Doctor still tries to save them against all odds. i think the most common response to this episode was 'The Doctor should have gone all Time Lord Victorious on them', and you're right - he should have! but doing that would've affirmed the beliefs of the real-life racists viewers. the Doctor responding not with violence or righteous vengeance is a very deliberate writing choice: we are supposed to come away feeling revolted that he needed to behave that way, to almost be supplicant to the white supremacists. because that is the real-life view of so many people who don't even view themselves as racist: Black people need to 'perform' to a higher standard, than white people just to be considered worthy of respect. the more i watch it, the more i'm convinced this is the best episode of the whole season, and one of the best Doctor Who episodes we've ever had. we were taken off-guard by having an episode overtly about racism set in the future rather than the past, because our tendency is to assume equality is a natural consequence of becoming technologically advanced. this clearly isn't the case, and Dot and Bubble is a masterclass in confronting racism head-on rather than dancing around it for the comfort of white viewers. just. aaargh!!!! absolutely amazing 🔥🔥🔥

That sure is an admission from someone wearing one of those same masks.

Overhaul - in contrast to both Nighteye and Shigaraki - is the worst boss. Overhaul recruited these people to do his dirty work, but he then found them unclean because they did what he asked of them. Nighteye took responsibility for the shortcomings of his subordinates and defended them in front of other heroes as a good boss should. Shigaraki encouraged the dreams of his comrades and worked with the League as a member of a team without suppressing their individuality.

Overhaul demanded his underlings cover their faces as a form of dehumanization - a visible demonstration of their value as nothing more than pawns. It is another parallel to All for One. All for One also had a habit of covering the faces of people he suppressed with his hand - Yoichi, Shigaraki, and almost every time he was shown giving/taking a quirk. Though in some ways, Overhaul was more thorough in this dehumanization and obsession with staying out of harms way than All for One. As All for One had at least one follower he never suppressed in this way - Garaki. And All for One under some circumstances was more willing to put his own health and safety at risk to pursue his goals (though to some extent that may have been because he believed he would soon have a new body anyway).

I love the relationship between kai and kurono and how they could have grown up together 🙏🙏

can't remember where it was mentioned that they'd known each other in their childhood, but that literally recontextualized their entire relationship to me

Another stupid ass idea I have is Percy is thrown into a whole generation earlier than he’s supposed to be because I love mess. He’s born to Ignatius Prewett and Lucretia Black. Red hair, curls, gray eyes, and enough attitude for three. “RED HAIR is the only consistency in my life!!!”

He’s Sirius’ and Regulus’ cousin. Three boys, three girls born into their house. “Universe, PLEASE let me keep my sanity!!!”

He’s glued to Regulus, both of them having Leo names because. Prideful, misguided, a good son who just wants to make his family proud 🥲 “I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending!!!”

He’s gotta go through his existential crisis, pass 12 owls again, a fucking war, and keep Sirius and Regulus together because he lost his siblings’ love once and it crushed him. So his dumb ass cousins can deal. “Of course he loves you!!! You are a piece of his heart that walks the earth!!! You fool!!!”

His god parents are definitely Orion and Walburga because his “mother” has a sense of humor. “Uncle what do I get in the will?”

He asks to go to Gryffindor and the hat said no. Because of his new family’s influence he threatens it and then goes to Slytherin. “Regulus can you believe this!!!!!!”

They go through school together and anytime he has a chance to fuck up something for Dumbledore he does. He never gets caught and the marauders always get blamed. Sometimes Regulus helps out. And if Sirius is all smiles in detention because he recognizes the pranks played on the headmaster, well? “Greatest wizard of our age? Yes, I suppose. BUT, he’s still a bitch. And he said my vest was unfortunate.”

Breakfast the next day always has him staring across the hall at his stars. Little smiles hidden behind notes of hope. “Just smile Regulus. Keep cool. Yes, I miss him too.”

"I think I want to be a gryffindor. Like my mum and dad."

Marlene grinned up at Dorcas, "sound, kid."

"Yeah, yeah", Dorcas huffed, a small smile spreading across their face.

Hari stared up at the train before turning back around, "I still think this is stupid."

Dorcas nodded, "Completely stupid."

"Undoubtedly", Marlene agreed, "I mean having to travel away from the castle just to get a train back up to scotland?"

"Pointless", Hari scowled.

The train whistled, and Hari grabbed his suitcase from Dorcas.

"Remember the rules, Hari?"

He nodded, counting them on his fingers, "Do my homework, call Professor McGonagall 'Minnie', make good friends, find a rival in an opposing house, and annoy Professor Snape as much as possible."

Marlene snorted, "Well done, kid", she passed him his new owl in her cage.

"Have fun, yeah?" Dorcas said, crouching down slightly.

Hari nodded, beaming grin on his face, and held up his right arm, allowing a small green snake to slither from under his sleeve, it's tongue hissing at Dorcas' cheek.

Dorcas brought him into a hug, then he moved to Marlene, tighly hugging her as well.

"See you for Christmas, kid."

Hari turned, owl cage balancing on top of his suitcase, and snake hidden back under his sleeve, he made his way onto the train.

Marlene grabbed her wheel handles, turning to leave the station, "I think I'm gonna miss him."

Dorcas laughed, "You're surprised you're going to miss the kid we've been looking after for ten years, are you?"

"Oh, shut up", Marlene grinned.

(in a reblog for my monty hook post) As I recall he never even kissed anyone so that's just heteronomative as fuck to just assume he's straight out of no where (and even if he did kiss it wouldn't necessarily mean anything).

He's not, never been, also anyone that thinks captain hook is straight missed some very important lessons in queer coding history have you looked at that man??
