god i remember now why i stopped watching DW in series 9. the writing for 12 is just so bad, so many episodes end with deus ex machina of the sloppiest kind, theres a complete lack of internal logic, a failure to seed foreshadowing and just ENDLESS monologues to empty space about his thought process about the concept of the episode.

Like multiple times we have to sit through Peter Capaldi monologuing to thin air about the abstract idea of why the episode is happening. With a lesser actor it would feel silly, but even Capaldi can't make it feel natural. In fact I think it’s the fact that Capaldi is such a good actor that makes it the problem it is. He delivers these speeches so well that it’s clear the writing team just becomes obsessed with them, to the point of favouring them over actual plot building. It’s like they’ve stopped giving a shit about how to actually tell a story and have just decided to pack it all into a Capaldi speech. They start an episode with him monologuing about how cool he is or how he's been musing on an idea for centuries, then the actual plot starts with him dealing with the problem for 10 minutes, and then it gets distracted halfway through, wraps up the first plot with a hand wave or just forgets about it, and runs off to muse to another speech about the concept of the Doctor. It’s the definition of telling not showing- its just the doctor endlessly telling us, sometimes even straight to camera. We shouldn’t have constant 5 minute long monologues telling us about the story, we should just see the story.

It's crawled so far up its own arse it's eating itself. It is legitimately bad TV.

I have never been a fan of Moffat as a show runner. I think he's a brilliant one-ofF episodic writer, he manages to take the most mundane things and make them terrifying, but as an arc writer he is clearly so boyishly obsessed with how cool the doctor is and copy-pasting himself onto him that he gets so lost in the sauce of worshiping the concept it becomes meaningless, self-aggrandising, mastubatory nonsense with no plot to hold it together, just vague sci-fi trappings to string together doctor speeches about how fucking cool he things he-I mean 'the doctor' is.

(I’m also not a huge fan of how callous 12 is, it doesn’t fit to me with everything else i’ve ever seen of the doctor)

I guess in someways it’s nice to look at it now, after having watch 15s season (which i loved) and go ‘oh no it wasn’t me just saying it was bad writing when really i just grew out of it, it was legitimately bad writing’

special mention to Listen and Heaven Sent for episodes that had great concepts but get completely ruined by Moffat’s propensity for naval gazing speeches and lack of plot followthrough

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.

You see how Deadpool and Wolverine only cause minimal damage to civilian life? You see how respectful they are to the extras? Very mindful. Very demure.

They don’t cause irreparable damage to major cities likely killing hundreds or more like some people. Instead they’re very mindful and cutesy

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

Serious question.

Do you think we’ll see the parents/family of each of the guys???

Like, We’ve been TEASED with Ace’s brother, that I’m starting to think it’s just a reference to that Alice in Wonderland park character in Japan and nothing else….

Jack’s family, Ruggie’s grandma, Falena, Maleficia, Ms.Rosehearts, Just now Vil’s dad is in the picture which I am really happy but now I’m wondering about his mom, and so Deuce’s mom.

I mean, some HAVE a silhouette!! It could mean they do have a design in the making/ready to show. They could’ve shown us Falena in the Tamashina (hope I said that correctly) event, but didn’t (prolly to make Leona not so σ(▼□▼メ) and it’s understandable)

Anyhow, any idea/headcannon about this? Who do you want to see first?

I'm wondering if everyone might eventually get a travel event? like they've now introduced with Vil's that it doesn't have to be specifically hometowns, so that opens things up a lot! (especially if they have to figure out how to do three separate Coral Sea visits) (how would that even work otherwise)

but yeah, I hope everyone gets a chance! there's a lot of backstory characters I would LOVE to meet. :D :D :D though I do think some of them don't really suit the more light-hearted tone of the events (pretty sure you're right about that being why Falena wasn't in Tamashina-Mina, that would've just been. too much for Leona.) so like...we're probably not ever going to meet the Rosehearts. or Maleficia (although I maintain that this would be THE funniest possible way to introduce her outside of the main story, and actually I would love this a lot, can we please Twst) (I need to see her to put Malleus in a froofy little outfit and tell him what a handsome boy he is). but they've sprung surprises like Kifaji on us, and honestly anyone who shows up and tells embarrassing stories about characters' childhoods is good in my book!

characters off the top of my head who I most want to meet: literally any of the Zigvolts, Azul's mom, Ace's brother, Che'nya's grandfather (<- I think he would be a good one for Riddle) (please just any non-terrible adult in his life), any member of Rook's family because I need to see how they managed to produce him, and...really just whoever they can come up with for Silver.

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)

I recently had to do a project in one of my psych classes, and man, I knew that CBT was used for every little thing, but seeing over and over, "do CBT! CBT is the best for every mental illness!" was so jarring. I'm absolutely biased because of my own experiences, but I just don't think it's as universal a treatment model as it's touted.

If you didn't benefit from CBT, it's not because you're lazy or didn't try hard enough or lacked intelligence or foresight into your own needs. Frankly, it's a therapy model that (I think) shouldn't be the only readily-accessible model and among the only therapy models covered by insurance. Some of us should not be treated in a CBT model and that's okay. It's not a sign of poor character or unreasonable demands, and if you don't think it's a model that works for you, then it's your right to express that!
