Is Your Dominant Planet Helping or Sabotaging You?
Ever feel like one planet in your chart is completely running your life? Like, no matter what, you always default to a certain way of thinking, reacting, or making the same questionable decisions? That’s your dominant planet at work. But is it making your life easier… or way harder than it needs to be? Let’s break it down.
How to Tell Which Planet is Dominant in Your Chart
Your dominant planet isn’t necessarily your Sun, Moon, or Rising—it’s the one with the most influence over your personality, choices, and bad habits. Some signs it’s the boss of your chart:
It’s in its home sign (like Venus in Libra or Mars in Aries) or exalted (like Moon in Taurus).
It has the most aspects (connections) to other planets.
It sits in a major house, like the 1st (identity), 10th (career), or 7th (relationships).
It rules your Sun, Moon, AND Rising (triple threat).
It’s the only planet of a certain element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) in your chart.
If you have two or more dominant planets, congrats—you’re a complicated mess with conflicting instincts (but at least you’re interesting). You're like a cosmic onion.
Your Dominant Planet: The Good, The Bad, & The Ridiculous
☀️ Sun Dominant – The Main Character
Natural confidence—people notice you whether you want them to or not.
Charismatic and great at leading (or at least pretending to know what you’re doing).
Magnetic presence—people either admire you or feel deeply threatened.
Cannot handle being ignored for even five minutes.
Takes everything way too personally (the group chat going silent is not about you).
Life is one big performance, even when no one’s watching.
🌙 Moon Dominant – The Walking Emotional Rollercoaster
Emotionally intuitive—you just know when someone’s lying.
People trust you instantly (whether you wanted that responsibility or not).
Deeply caring—probably the “mom friend” of the group.
Gets attached too fast—if someone is nice to you once, they’re basically family.
Mood swings for absolutely no reason (and good luck explaining them).
Overthinks texts, social interactions, and why the barista looked at you weird.
🪐 Saturn Dominant – The Workaholic Who Can’t Relax
Disciplined and reliable—if you say you’ll do something, it gets done.
People respect you because you actually have your life together (or seem like you do).
Ages like fine wine—born a stressed-out child, but gets way cooler with time.
Takes responsibility for everything, even things that are not your problem.
Permanent resting serious face—people assume you’re judging them.
🔥 Mars Dominant – The Human Energy Drink
High-energy.
Assertive—you go after what you want and get it.
Quick reflexes—probably great at sports, fighting, or avoiding responsibilities.
Zero patience—slow walkers and buffering videos are your worst nightmare.
Occasional anger issues (“I’M NOT MAD, YOU’RE JUST WRONG”).
Thinks first, acts later… if at all.
🌿 Venus Dominant – The Flirt Who Gets Away with Everything
Naturally charming—people are drawn to you without knowing why.
Always looks effortlessly put together (even when you’re a mess inside).
Romantic AF—you love love.
Indecisive as hell—picking a restaurant is a 3-hour ordeal.
Can’t say no—people-pleasing is your toxic trait.
Might have a tiny shopping addiction (but hey, self-care).
☁️ Mercury Dominant – The Fast-Talker & Overthinker
Sharp, witty, and always has a comeback (even when you should probably keep quiet).
Absorbs information like a sponge—trivia night MVP.
Can talk to literally anyone about anything.
Mind never shuts up—sleep is a myth.
Either replies to texts instantly… or in three months, no in-between.
Talks way too fast—people need subtitles.
🌎 Jupiter Dominant – The Chaotic Optimist
Lucky AF—things somehow work out for you.
Big personality, big dreams, big everything.
Loves adventure—you’re always down for something wild.
Overestimates how much time, money, and luck you actually have.
Can’t resist saying yes to everything—major FOMO energy.
No impulse control—“Let’s book a trip right now.”
🔮 Neptune Dominant – The Daydreamer Who Might Be on Another Planet
Insanely creative—your imagination is unreal.
People find you mystical and intriguing (even when you’re just zoning out).
Deeply intuitive—you just know things before they happen.
Time management is a joke—was that 5 minutes or 5 hours? Who knows.
Has full-on fantasies about things that will never happen (but what if they did?).
Trusts people too easily (no, they will not "change" for you).
🖤 Pluto Dominant – The Intensity Overlord
Unshakable—life could crumble around you and you’d be fine.
Magnetic energy—people either worship or fear you.
Always transforming—rises from the ashes like a badass phoenix.
Suspicious of everyone (and usually right).
Constantly going through some kind of crisis.
Low-key enjoys dark, broody thoughts for fun.
So… Is Your Dominant Planet Helping or Sabotaging You?
Either way, you’re stuck with it. But the more you understand it, the more you can work with it instead of letting it run your life.

love gravity || kang yeosang || one-shot
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
| genre: fluff. slice of life. | mentions: not paying attention to crosswalks (don't do that). yeosang being ... yeosang 😍
Tumblr media
The city hums with the usual evening rush—cars honking, pedestrians weaving through the crowd, and the cool night breeze carrying the scent of roasted chestnuts from a nearby stall. You tug at the lanyard of your school ID, slipping it off and placing it on the back pocket of your jeans, letting it hang behind you like a tail, a habit you've had for as long as you can remember.
You barely register the change in the crosswalk signal when the world tilts beneath you.
One moment, you’re stepping forward, and the next—
A firm grip tugs at your ID lace, pulling you back just in time before a speeding cyclist whizzes past where you were about to step. The abrupt force sends you stumbling, your feet struggling to find balance against the concrete. But before gravity can claim its victory, an arm circles around your waist, steadying you.
The scent of warm chocolate and cedarwood fills your senses, grounding you as much as the hands that keep you upright. You blink up, wide-eyed, heart hammering in your chest as you meet the gaze of Kang Yeosang.
“Careful,” he murmurs, the faintest hint of amusement tugging at the corner of his lips.
Your breath catches. He’s close—so close that you can make out the flecks of gold in his brown eyes and the red spot of his birthmark, the gentle curve of his nose, and the way his lashes cast soft shadows against his cheeks under the glow of the streetlights.
“I—” Your words fumble as you will your brain to catch up with reality. Your ID lace dangles loosely between his fingers, the very thing that tethered you back to safety. You gulp, heat creeping up your neck. “Sorry, I didn’t see—”
Yeosang tilts his head slightly, still not letting go. “You should be more careful. You do this often?”
You nod, a sheepish laugh escaping your lips. “Yeah. Bad habit.”
A soft chuckle rumbles from his chest. “I’ll have to keep an eye on you then.”
Your brain short-circuits.
Before you can recover, he finally releases your ID lace, though the warmth of his touch lingers like an imprint on your skin. With one last glance, he steps away, seamlessly blending back into the flow of people crossing the street.
You exhale sharply, pressing a hand against your chest as if that could slow your racing heartbeat.
You were in trouble.
And the worst part? You didn’t mind one bit.
Tumblr media
this happen to me back at the university, my friends and i were about to eat somewhere and i wasn't looking at the light stop and i went ahead and walk. and surprise suprise, my friends all LIKE literally their hands were either on my head, on my pony tail, my shirt and I knew for sure that my other friend grip my arm.

to imply how the buckleys treated buck was “understandable” because of 1) grief and 2) that they later ‘reconciled’ with him is rather insane. it ignores the ethics of savior sibling (buck’s birth predating the first official savior sibling case btw) and what buck has canonically said about his childhood and his forgiveness of his parents. in buck begins, at age 19 he tells maddie “the way they look at me… through me,” implying that his parents quite literally do not understand him or even pay attention to him (outside of when he is intentionally hurting himself). in 4x04, after his speech about how his parents never cared or paid attention to himself and maddie, the exchange of “you never made it easy on us. i don’t know what you expected is to do!” / “love me anyway” can be read as buck never feeling like he was loved by his parents (especially since this is the scene where he learns he didn’t have a baby box).
in short—it’s very obvious emotional neglect (and neglect as in failing to properly supervise / pay attention to buck, leading to his multiple childhood injuries). buck was neglected by his parents for his entire childhood, and even until he was an adult. is this level of neglect understandable? living in their grief for 30 years doesn’t make them the worst parents—and it’s okay! because they reconcile, right? (on buck’s prompting, not their own.)
“it’s hard to feel betrayed by someone that you didn’t really think you could count on” buck says to maddie, indicating their parents. for his entire life, buck has thought this of his parents. (and the inverse ilustrated here: maddie’s parentification where she has stepped into the role of parent for buck, because of their neglect.)
these are just the things that are textual, that the show tells and shows us. we can make assumptions of the progress buck’s relationship with his parents goes the next few times they see each other—however, very important, always because of maddie. (and maddie’s own relationship with their parents is another issue that shouldn’t be swept aside.) it won’t be until buck has a big life event of his own that we’ll know if he views their relationship the same way.
ultimately, i think 9-1-1 has always prioritized redemption and second chances of all its characters. buck in particular is a very forgiving character, especially when he perceives a slight against him. and i think some people throw the word “redemption” around a lot when there isn’t actual redemption. the buckley’s were given a second chance at having a relationship with buck (and maddie)—it doesn’t mean that buck has forgiven them for his childhood, but he gives them a second chance regardless, because that is his character. but to say this makes the buckley’s actions understandable and dismissible is rather insane.

" ... those girls still do exist". Sorry, but no. This is a religious/faith based belief. 'Gender' in that sense does not exist.
This is a religious and political belief based on the custom of socially enforced patriarchy - 'gender'.
And coming with that belief comes automatically the whole ideological construct and system behind it.
Without patriarchy - without male-supremacist sexual colonization of women and girls - there is no 'gender'. There are only neutral bodies of either female or male sex, with or without any DSDs.
Nobody and no body is "superior" or "inferior", nobody has a "girl-mode brain" or is an "alpha male". The sex of your body has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with what things you like, if you are a caring person or not, what clothes you wear, how your hair is cut, how you act and talk, what work you do and so on.
There is nobody "born in the wrong body". There are no "women trapped in men's bodies". These people are simply just men.
"Trans" is something you do, not a state of existence of its own.
I can understand in cases of living with extremely severe dysphoria, while knowing full well that patriarchy most likely will persist during their lifetime (and with it its pressure to uphold its social class system through gender norms and their consequences), that somebody might want to transition. Such people exist.
Yet they still pay a horrendous price. Suicide statistics for transitioned people don't go down - they actually go up! They become lifelong patients and suffer extreme physical, medical damage that can not be reversed and face significantly shortened lifespans - and that on the regular(!). Complications are almost the norm for people trying to transition.
In the face of all this to still believe and even go and promote this.... (not to mention the political ties to straight up the extreme right through pharma/medical industry and even horrendous animal expreiments and testing on a massive, industrial scale caused by the gender-industry, as well as the reasons following below). That's like spitting these people right in the face.
But at least they know what and why they are. These trans people know what they are really doing, why and also - most important - the cause of their suffering and the wish & the will to end that, not to uphold and even strenghten it!! They do not believe in an inner gender identity and a gendered soul. Because no such thing exists.
And thank the universe & reality that it does not - because if 'gender' was true and natural and innate, all these things would automatically also be rendered "true", "natural", "innate" and - the worst of it all - justified; Systemic inequality, based on male-supremacism; misogyny to the point of complete dehumanization of femaleness; based on that then following the complete (sexual) colonization of women and girls; then homophobia to the point of even its existence getting denied and erased; racism, especially against black women; ableism to the point of eugenics & forced sterilization of mainly young autistic people; extreme capitalist consumerism with total comodification of human life (not to mention any other living thing) in the style of privatized corporate transhumanism and - sadly - so much more.
Not to mention the fascistoid nature of it all - just like other faith based theocracies, patriarchy driven (driven back; only in new clothes) to that totalitarian state is fascist/fascistoid by its nature. No wonder since it is its base.
Patriarchy - male-supremacist colonization - has done enough. It has brought so much suffering in this world and in literally every single one of our lives.
As a lifelong feminist I do understand the unbelievable hurt it can cause, even today, in "the west" and even to members of the privileged class.
But please - wake up!
Do not buy into their agenda.
'Gender' does not exist.
If you feel any real compassion for people with dysphoria, for women and girls, for intersex people, for same-sex attracted people, for children, men, everyone - fight AGAINST the enforcing and further upholding of 'gender'.
It is an ideology designed to be a tool of oppression, of division and class hierarchy. It is socially enforced patriarchy. Nothing else. Don't be their "police" who gets around pressuring and terrorizing people into compliance with the system. And don't be their department of propaganda who goes around to blind and deceive people.
That non of you do this out of real compassion is clear - we just have to look how you treat detransitioners. We just have to look how you exclusively attack women's rights and how you never look for how uphold both sides. We just have to look how you, when talking about transpeople and trans rights, only ever mean transwomen - males, the ruling/upper class in the system. Everyone else is just a pawn, a means to an end and gets discarded as soon as there's no more profit to squeeze out of.
We have no space for male-supremacists. No space for colonizers. No space for hateful people driven by fantasies of supremacy and bootlicking.
Abolish gender.
btw you have to realize that there will be trans women who do not transition, who cannot transition, and do not want to transition, whether that is socially or medically or aesthetically or any combination of those. whether they like how they look or not, those girls will exist. and you dont get to belittle those women and girls for how they look or their choices in life, even if you are a trans woman and it makes you feel good because you hated your pre transition self or you’ve been hurt by men who look like that or whatever.

you have to drag him everywhere
like by his literal collar
or whatever it is that he's wearing
bc this man does not want to walk
like
anywhere
drag him to the mirror, drag him behind a curtain to fix his outfit
it never ends
and he moves around a lot too while you're doing his makeup
more than once you've gotten chan to hold his jaw shut so you can powder it or fix up his contour
and he always stares at you while you do it
with his little meanie face
you know the one he makes where he's trying to be scary but it doesn't work on anyone so he's just like >:|
yeah that one
complains a lot about his appearance to piss you off
'i don't like the eye makeup' 'i hate this shirt'
it never ends but you're used to it so he kind of gives up after a while
when you got assigned to him, he would stare into your eyes while you were doing his makeup to try and make you fumble
bc let's be honest no one could focus if kim seungmin was staring into their soul
but you got used to that too and now you just ignore it
you always get him to tell you how he's feeling on a certain day so you can sort of match his outfit and makeup to his vibe
if he's in a good mood, lots of scarlet reds and brighter colours
if he's just neutral, then dewy pinks and purples
and if he's having a bad day, lots of metallic silver and black
of course his appearance still has to match the other members' vibes
but you always try to make it a little more special
seungmin would never admit it but he appreciates that so much
most of your job is just looking for him to be honest
like man literally disappears and gets distracted by the tiniest things
there's a bird outside? gone
hyunjin has his back turned and is therefore vulnerable to attack? gone
there's no reason for him to go anywhere?
gone
you've debated putting a tracker in his outfit like a literal dog but you decided against it because it's like playing hide and seek
which is kinda fun
usually he's busy doing something random or looking out the window
or pissing his members off
if worst comes to worst and you can't find him, you just threaten to call chan and he materialises out of thin air
which is kinda funny
and when he won't stay still to let you fix his outfit, you threaten to dress him like jyp
that always works lmao
he just goes absolutely rigid and his eyes go all wide
'please don't'
and you'll just fix his collar or his boots or whatever and off he goes again
multiple times you've told him to put accessories on before he goes on stage
but he always forgets
you've had to drag him backstage countless times before the group went on to perform bc he's forgotten to do what you said
you'll have super steady and nimble hands after a while bc trying to clip a chain necklace on a hyped-up puppy boy is one of the hardest things
like ever
he's just raring to go lol
always runs up to you after performing all sweaty and excited
'did you see me? when i did that move'
or something along those lines
he truly is so soft and sweet but he'll never admit it
and you'll nod and he's have the biggest shiniest prettiest boy smile on his face
stop i'm sad
most of the time he sweats all of his makeup off
and then sheepishly bows to you and apologises for ruining all your hard work
but you shake your head and tell him with a smile that it's fine
and it is, really
he looks hotter when he's all sweaty
huh? what
i didn't say anything
yes i did
after he's warmed up to you
and it takes a while, i'm gonna be completely honest
he refuses to let anyone else do his hair, makeup, or outfit
he just wants you
because you always make sure he can dance properly in his outfit, and that his hair isn't in his eyes, or that he likes his makeup
you would never make him wear anything that makes him uncomfortable either
you're always asking for his input on certain outfit ideas and he tells you honestly what he thinks
and you just take his feedback and make outfits for him that he'll be comfortable in
which makes him swoon for you
again, he would never say anything to you about how he's starting to feel
maybe one day, he thinks he might be able to
until then, he'll settle for looking at your pretty face while you do your thing <3

Have you been assesed for adhd?
nope, though im pretty sure i got it ... or its something similar bc although also not officially diagnosed there is no way im not autistic OTL
the only things i have been .. 'diagnosed' with is anxiety and chronic depression, though both of which by a therapist that got arrested for fraud and harassment (hahaha .. ._.) and im not sure how much weight that can hold both bc of .. THAT and bc i honestly have no idea how much a therapist can do (its been many years since then too) and the only meds he ever offered me where like .. drugs ('herbs')
i have been thinking of asking our family doctor about it but im rather afraid of whatever process i gotta go through to get anything that might help since im sure its also not JUST adhd that causing all this (and ... im afraid it could impact how i am treated ... like if they know im autistic are they not gonna take me seriously anymore or stop me from making choices about myself.. welp theres the anxiety ndfjkgndfknvgfdk)
(and a new therapist is pretty impossible bc theres a really big problem of not enough therapists around ESPECIALLY where i live ... also fear bc of the previous one .. haha ._, )

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.
Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.
Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.
Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.
There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.
#svsss#luo binghe#svsss au#scum villain#scum villian self saving system#shen yuan#shen qingqiu#disciple shen yuan#lbh. visibly exhausted and with twitchy eyes: im fine :) | everyone else: ho no the fuck you ARENT.#SQQ was hysterical not because he found out LBH was half-demon but bc he was having a long-awaited mental breakdown over his autonomy :)#or (limited) lack thereof. he was having a sudden onset crisis of mortality and was handling at quite literally the WORST time. oops#im thinking very hard that LBH would never push his disciple into the abyss especially with no system to force him to. so SQQ either#had to goad him into it (failing always) or throw himself in. he ended up doing it himself but not before some very impressive hysterics.#BUT ALSO. IF THIS HAD BEEN WHERE SQQ WAS THE HALF-HEAVENLY DEMON INSTEAD IT WOULD'VE BEEN SO GREAT.#and by great i mean horribly angsty bc SQQ is NOT doing too hot and has. in very SY-like fashion. convinced himself that LBH will kill him#when he finds out he's a demon. so when it comes out i have this mental image of him lunging at LBH and LBH flinches back. but SQQ wraps hi#hands around the blade of Zheng Yang and yanks it up so the tip of the blade is digging into his chest where is heart is. LBH can't yank th#sword away without risking slicing into SQQ's hands. SQQ's hair has fallen out of its tail/bun and is now messily spilling down his#back and its NO helping the kinda deranged look he has going on. he's visibly shaking and his eyes keep flittering away and back at LBH's#face. SQQ is looking at the messages from the system warning him that he has to go into the abyss or punishment will occur. he's like.#rambling though. talking about how shizun doesn't *like* unclean things and there is nothing more unclean than a demon. like he is#INSISTING. LBH can't?? get a fucking word in. actually. SY isn't listening that much either anyways. too overwhelmed with the system and#the amount of stress he's under and his crumbling mental state and the innate and primal desire to live even when he's standing in front of#his own executioner. it all ends with him sitting on the ground at the lip of the abyss with his hair falling in his face. he looks so#unkempt and fallen apart and so distinctly *non-Shen Qingqiu* that LBH feels physically ill over it. tears are streaming down SQQ's face#and despite everything he is smiling. its not a nice smile. its a very frayed falling apart at the seams about to crack smile.#he tells shizun not to worry about staining his blade with this disciple's filthy blood because this disciple will take care of it himself.#and then he falls into the abyss before luo binghe can so much as grab him. the only reason LBh doesn't literally jump in after him is bc#he was numb with shock and the abyss was already closed before he could feel his legs again :]

People act like the only reason you could dislike the 13th doctor is because you're misogynist. I'll be the first to say I love Jodie Whittaker, but her entire run as the doctor was tainted by Chris Chibnall, who seemingly lacked an understanding of how characters or stories should work.
I used to keep up with the show as it aired, I watched The Doctor Falls and Twice Upon A Time live and was completely engrossed. I was optimistic about series 11 and eager to see what fresh direction the show might go.
I was treated to stories befitting the worst of the classic era. This was some Sixth Doctor level bad writing. I couldn't make it through series 11 at the time of airing. It was only after Chibnall had finished his run and handed the reins back over to RTD that I had the bravery to actually go back and see what he did with the show. I finished Series 11 recently.
The closest to decent episode was It Takes You Away but even that was still a rushed and half-baked mess. Episodes like Kerblam! and Rosa are downright insulting to the viewer, one performs apologetics for Amazon's treatment of its workers using the Doctor as a mouthpiece (the Doctor never considers the managers' complicity in the system and after giving them a stern talking-to trusts them to turn it into a Good™ megacorporation off-screen... This is after she unnecessarily and brutally murders a revolutionary worker). The season ending on The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos is another half-baked slap in the face, Chibnall trying to pretend he can do series-long arcs just as well as Moffat or Davies, except he absolutely cannot.
Surprisingly, Resolution was actually pretty decent, probably better than any Series 11 episode, not least of which because I can understand the danger, the stakes, and the Doctor gets to actually care about something instead of being written to bumble aimlessly about the entire episode.
Admittedly I've only made it a little bit into Series 12, but that's because it's genuinely difficult to watch. I feel like my intelligence is being insulted at every turn. It feels like Doctor Who for the TikTok generation. Spyfall was a sad, sad excuse for a Doctor Who spy thriller. Half of the setups it gives go genuinely nowhere, dozens of mystery boxes reduced to red herrings, because it turns out it was The Master! He did it all, because... uhm... well... A-AND he convinced these interdimensional beings to help him by, uh... well... he uh... well I guess it doesn't matter! They were helping him in the first place because they wanted to... uh... They wanted... Hmm... Well there was that tech CEO guy! He was super involved, because he wanted to turn humans into hard drives, for uh... Well... He wanted that because... I guess he had a lot of data to store, which would be... Hmm...
Dhawan's Master exemplifies the flattening of every character under Chibnall. All the work Moffat did to add layers of complexity and depth to Missy gets thrown out the window (k, admittedly it does seem Moffat was the one to break that particular toy before Chibnall got to it, but when has "the Master gets killed at the end of the story" ever stopped them from showing up unscathed later on?), Dhawan takes Simm's craziness and cranks it up to 11, now he just laughs maniacally and seems to do completely random things for no particular reason, just if he finds them amusing in the moment. But he also brought back his shrink ray so they can pretend this is more faithful to the classic era. Nevermind that the classic era Master was always a suave Machiavellian mastermind. I'd personally love to see Dhawan do that, but instead he just giggles like a doofus all the time. At least give them romantic tension like Missy/12 or something, jeez!
And then only last night did I finish Orphan 55, which is probably a low point not just for the Chibnall era but for the entire modern run (I won't say it's the worst of the entire show, the classic era has its... moments). It is literally an unfinished episode of television, self-admitted by the production crew, the entire latter half is so sloppily edited that you will actually struggle to follow what is supposed to be happening. They clearly did not get all the shots they needed and had to just toss whatever they had together and pray. My favorite part was their land tank being surrounded by monsters so they flee... by, uh, climbing out the bottom and running away from the tank that is clearly not surrounded by monsters at all. But that's not all, no no, the writing is miserable, nobody talks or acts like a human being, there is zero charisma, none of the subplots matter or leave any emotional impression (the grandma almost made me feel an emotion, until her reaction to hearing her husband was killed is "ugh! how could you?"), the twist can be seen coming from miles away and it's all just so the Doctor can lecture us like a neoliberal politician who wants to sound mad at "the system" without calling any one thing or person out because the system lines their pockets.
I am still going to force myself to finish Series 12 and 13 because I am a fan of this show and that means I must subject myself to as much of it as I can. But watching Orphan 55 is the type of stuff that makes me put the show down for a few weeks. It's the kind of thing that made me stop tuning in live every week.
The saddest part, really, is that the show is still like this, in a lot of ways. Yeah sure Davies came back, but he seems ill-fitted to the modern style of television where you get 8 episodes and ten billion dollars. "Season One"/Series 14 was a hugely mixed bag, with highlights like 73 Yards and Dot & Bubble underscored by flops like Space Babies and the finale that calls you an idiot for following the threads Davies purposefully laid out for you to follow. And he seems to share Chibnall's inability to convey any sense of character or who these people actually are.
Who is the thirteenth Doctor? She's the eleventh Doctor's autism turned up a few notches until she acts genuinely stupid in ways the Doctor usually didn't (well, Moffat had his moments with 11 and 12...). She doesn't have much beyond that, any deeper philosophy must be inferred to have carried over from previous incarnations.
Who is Ryan? Well, he's a black teenager with a contentious relationship with his stepdad. And him being black does matter so we can make sure to only give him black love interests 🙄. In the first episode we see he has a motive disability and a YouTube channel. Neither of these things come up again. So that's his character.
Who is Graham? Well, he's the step-dad Ryan has a contentious relationship with. His wife died, and that comes up exactly once in It Takes You Away, and then doesn't matter.
Who is Yaz? She got the worst of the bunch. She's a woman... Well, an Indian woman, so she can have a personal connection in Demons of the Punjab, but then her race never matters again. We see she's a cop in the first episode! That never comes up again. So she's just... A woman. Who is there. And as I understand it tries to get kissy-kissy with 13 in the last season. I mean I can't blame her, it's Jodie Whittaker.
And even though I haven't finished Series 12, I know exactly where it's going. The Timeless Child. I used to be much more upset about it, but now I see it for all that it is - a desperate, cloying attempt to claw back some relevancy for the show since its viewership and ratings had been steadily falling for years. A no-holds-barred, "throw the emergency Lore Change lever!" that gives the illusion of being a really big deal while truly having very little impact on the Doctor or her character. What does the Timeless Child really change about the Doctor? On like a core, character level. All it does is shuffle some facts around on a Wikia page.
I just wish 13 had better material to work with. Here's hoping Big Finish can step up and give her some decent stories.

seeing 12th doctor fans trashing 13.... let's all hold hands and be fandom pariahs together... peace and love....

I don't have a lot of confidence in my art, but Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter was one of the few things back in the day that got me to sit down & draw. I'm still really honored to be one of their guest artist for their 18th anniversary. You weren't always the best Roosterteeth, but thanks for inspiring this shy artist to keep drawing.

Started writing a fic back in early October and had to abandon it for a while due to IRL situations. But I've started working on it again little by little, and I am so excited to eventually share it with my mutuals and followers. I hope you guys enjoy it (I am trying my best to get it done)!
TBH my only motivation anymore is thinking about my friends having a good time reading it when it's finally posted (I love all of you very much). I cannot wait for all of these ideas to be fleshed-out on paper at last.
Tumblr media
Over 16,000 words and I am nowhere near satisfied yet. I feel like I can write WAY more. Stay tuned!

I'm kinda tired of dungeon meshi fans blatantly misinterpreting Kabru's goals, motivations, and character so they can ship him with Laios...like obviously it's awesome if you enjoy Laikabu but can you nooot twist Kabru's intentions for involving himself with the guy who constantly triggers his monster trauma and pisses him off so bad he gets brain damage so that he turns into "the guy who wants to suck Laios's dick" as his entire character? I've even seen people cut off Kabru's words to make it seem like he is admiring Laios because it would disrupt that narrative
#how can you think marcille hates laios and kabru wants to fuck him that's not.......canon.....#every time I see stuff of them it’s people being like 'oh kabru loves it so much when laios reminds him of his traumatic past'#be it his eyes/monsters/or the succubus thing 'he just HAS to fuck laios'#kui was noooooot intending for kabru to be lusting after that man!!!#i love laios but come ON why dont you actually care about KABRU tooooo#for l4bru to actually work one of them would have to suppress a big part of themselves and its ALWAYS on kabru it’s so insufferable#it's just like how some people misconstrued fem!toshiro blushing about laios to be her crushing on him when it was obv the same discomfort#but it made the microaggressions even worse because of the gender difference AS WELL as the culture difference#SIGH#i prommis ryoko kui did not create kabru so he can think about sucking laioss humungous donger all day fhsdkfhskjh#L4ikabu is the worst case I’ve seen of people twisting things for their ship because it’s literally just not true…#blatant misreading of the text goes crazy!!!!#like sure they're foils but what about the actual dynamic...w8 don't think about that actually cuz yoikes lol#obviously not threatening anyone who ships them please just stop saying it's canon oh my g#pwease actually read what kabru says he lays it out really clearly and has a super interesting backstory that drives his actions 🥲#i dont expect anyone to read this because im not using a tag but if u do then...🫢😯#i dont understand y ppl like it so much when laios ignores kabru so hard KABRU DESERVES BETTER#I’ve never felt like this about any ship before wow it just makes me 🫷

oh no somebody I do not want to know about my online presence might have found this account luckily I didn't find anything suspicious in my follower list but oh my god
#nana talks#its literally my dad too I'm not gonna get into the whole lore of why I genuinely don't like him but he's an awful person#I hope nobody has to deal with somebody like that ever not even my worst enemy I'm not kidding#so like I'm hoping he's not stalking this blog#like literally what can he do not like its gonna drive me off of the platform I literally don't care about his opinion of me#but its still unsettling if he is trying to keep track of his adult daughter like this#anyways I don't know if I should reach out to tumblr support because like they probably can't do anything#literally up until I was like 15 he had stuff installed that would let him see everything I do online#eventually that app or something of his shut down and I was free hehe#like this man did and said the most horrendous things under the sun and he's like omg why does nana not want to spend time with him#I don't even care if he's reading this he knows that I don't like him#best thing you can do if you have someone like this in your life is just do whatever you want don't let them bother you that much#eventually they'll realise they can't bother you anymore#like literally for the longest while I thought he would never shut up with the insults directed towards me#but like a couple of months of not caring about it and not talking to him later and he left me alone#so like if anyone reading this can relate I am proof that it does get better my dad is the most stubborn and mean case too#so I promise you it will be okay

being in the DS9 fandom, you'll discover there are so many ways for people to be wrong about julian bashir
#wow i don't like a lot of you#baffled at how a predominantly autistic fanbase can be so contemptful of autistic behaviour#buddies i think you're the ones who are cringe. see i cringe WITH julian not against him#and not even just that#theres the ''julian is stupid about everything that isn't medicine'' thing#fuck you that man is a starfleet officer and he's a genius. i saw him fix a console and i was genuinely surprised because of this shit#''julian is stupid'' ''julian is annoying'' ''julian is insufferable'' ''julian deserves to be bullied'' and so on and so forth#wow. i hate. all of you. and based on the way y'all talk? you guys would hate me too#oh and worst take of all. like on a moral level:#''julians parents were in the right for doing what they did. its natural for a parent to want to have a normal child''#and other such ableist takes. literally i have seen people like that#i saw somebody baffled by that ep being like ''what did julians parents do wrong. they helped him. what is julian upset about''#and holy shit. that is. so fucked up#besides all that. the way the fandom and the show is mean to julian pisses me off#Why Are His Friends So Mean To Him#i have this brain thing where i take criticism of julian bashir as a personal attack. its called autism#sometimes an autistic-coded character in star trek will say something the narrative has deemed as Wrong#and i can tell thats what im being told because i understand media language but im still baffled like ''Whats The Problem''#spock. data. seven. julian. and its like... actually guys its everybody else who is being weird and mean about this#i do find it a little sad knowing that if i existed on DS9 that o'brien and kira wouldn't like me. like damn. i like you guys#anyways i have a lot of the DS9 fandom blocked because they got me at risk of developing a wee chunk of self loathing. and i refuse#i wasnt raised to feel shame how dare you

I slept on this drama, but imagine being the kind of person who looks at a story where two middle-aged men genuinely and canonically fall in love, and instead voting for the story you made up in your head about a guy who canonically abandons his lifelong best friend to deal with nearly a century of accumulated trauma alone so that he can go undo the entire life of a woman he kissed one time.

so many people just hear "dick was a cop" and go "eww im gonna pretend i didnt see that" and like. if its just bc you cant handle the subject matter thats one thing, but often times its just. performative. especially because the actually storyline is so much about dick trying (and as far as ive gotten to reading so far, failing) to make a change in the system and be a "good cop". it's an extremely heavy but genuinely very interesting storyline. dick does find other "good cops", but they're very much the minority and usually keep their heads down, because cops are bastards and will ruin the lives of "fellow officers" who try and do things right. they try to frame dick for murder at one point and everything.
