#like oopsy Tim was just being silly

[kitkats-and-kittens]

Okay so my timeline of events may not be great, but wouldn’t it be funny if Damian found out about Tim blowing up the league bases?

Wouldn’t it be funny if he found out his brother gave the people inside about 10 minutes to run before killing them all?

Wouldn’t it be funny if he knew them? If he knew the servants that worked there? The gardeners? The caretakers? The young assassins, younger than him, still in training?

Wouldn’t it be funny if he’d had friends there? Friends who aren’t there anymore. Friends who suddenly went silent, who he lost contact with. Friends who are dead. Friends who his own brother murdered?

Now wouldn’t that be hilarious.

in celebration of it finally being warm enough for me to wear my "omg it's just like tim from marble hornets :O !!!" jacket, i did a silly sketch of us hanging out (incredibly self-indulgent 4 sure, but i would argue; what's even the point of being an artist if you cant draw silly self-indulgent picturs of whatever 🤨 i rest my case.)

bonus epic never seen before breathtaking unbelievable groundbreaking face reveal 🤯 [REAL] (NOT CLICKBATE❗❗)

o yea and btw since surprisingly many people have been asking about commissions I'll post a info thingy sooooonn :3 (been meaning to do it for a while but uhhh I've been procrastinating oopsi)

also sort of obligatory psa; i do not condone smoking, it's seriously very bad for you (ik it gets said like. all the time but like,, take it from the guy whose physical health is already deteriorating in part bc of it) also !!! please don't shame anyone that does, it's not going to help them and might even make things worse. The best way to help someone with (most) addictions is (usually) to offer support to them and not judge them. Also good to remember that you can't help someone if they don't want it, so forcing it will often cause more harm :] (idk ig this is like talked about all the time, but since it also affects me and alot of my friends i thought id mention it) (also im in no way a professional !!!! just talking from personal experience :P)

I hate doctor 11 but ive never been able to explain why in like words lmao. He feels like such a mary sue character imo and like theres something about his characterisation that was always just really ineffective (like the stuff about fishfingers and custard or whatever it was). Imo i'd love to hear you give top 5 worst things about the 11 era because i rlly just love when it gets torn apart

i hold nothing but a seething contempt and loathing for that man. every time he appeared on screen i felt ready to snap like a riled up chimpanzee in my enclosure. i am frothing at the mouth and overcome with a desire to start flinging heavy objects. this might be incoherent and inconsistent but i started this rewatch in feb 2020 and only finished this week so i got through 11′s episodes last august/september time and i refuse to revisit it to jog my memory or fact check anything i’m saying here because this man does not deserve the space in my mind for that.

the first thing is i can’t fucking STAND the quirky whimsy timey wimey bit he has going on all of the time. i can’t even say this is because this is a kids show and i was a teen and then adult when i first properly watched him but actually!! when i was eleven years old i’d sleep over at a friend’s house most weekends and it always coincided with the airing of a new season 5 episode and i remember we watched the finale with the dumb time hopping to get out of the box prison that was never explained and didn’t make sense and i thought at the time “this is really stupid”. and before that my only other doctor who exposure was watching the david tennant christmas specials with another friend and throughout childhood my only opinion on doctor who was “this is a tv show that is not for me but is one that all the boys i am friends with like so i will put up with it to maintain our friendships” but at least those episodes were both suspenseful and engaging enough to keep me watching all the way through. like who the fuck does an end of the world sci fi plot and approaches it with an “oopsy woopsy i am a funny little alien man who is going to stop you all by making you do a hecking silly” like it’s unneeded and self-parodies an already cheesy show to the point where it becomes unwatchable and makes it impossible to ever take this man seriously.

next thing that downright sucks ass so badly is the stupid fucking overwritten constantly escalating plotlines. like everything from season 5 up until his regeneration at the end of season 7 is meant to be this grand interconnected cosmic plot about how...the doctor trying to bring back his planet will end the universe or something so all the top powers across all of reality tried again and again to stop him from doing that except he doesn’t know what’s going on so he keeps thwarting these people who supposedly mean good?? i mean i sure don’t fucking know what they were trying to say!! like for some reason we never get the doctor suddenly becomes this superdemon that threatens everything so these people (whoever they are) decide to, in sequence: suck him through a time rift to erase him from existence, trap him in a prison and remake a universe without him, take his companion’s baby and turn her into a perfectly trained doctor killer, form two(!!) secret societies to hunt him throughout history that are only stopped by his companion splintering herself across his personal timeline to protect him, and repeatedly cause reality collapsing events because it’s a kinder outcome for the universe than what he will do. this grand and terrible event turns out to be...he spends a few hundred years chilling by a rift that leads to his home planet and protects a few generations of children from monsters which convinces them to give him infinite regeneration power then fuck off back to their pocket universe. and it’s like!! what is the point of anything that happens in this man’s era when everything is always “the darkest moment” or whatever the fuck!! i don’t care!! we never get a compelling reason to believe this bumbling clown of a man could ever be a universal threat!! the whole thing is so dumb i hate it!!!

thing number three i hate is how the eleventh doctor is ALSO characterised as this abrasive egotistic male supergenius to the point where he becomes genuinely indistinguishable from bbc sherlock. genuinely who enjoyed seeing this guy constantly tell people their tiny human minds can’t comprehend what he’s doing and then basically just wave his magic wand to solve whatever problem each episode is facing. 2012 is the year of human sin because this fucking shitsmear character archetype somehow became both a redditor role model AND a tumblr sexyman and it’s like!! nobody is enjoying this stop making this seem cool! him saying timey wimey thing any time he does anything is frustrating and dumb and locks the viewer out of giving a fuck about anything that is happening! smartest man in the room syndrome is a disease and the eleventh doctor is terminal with it. like remember how they established river as an accomplished scientist (when she wasn’t being a child soldier or a time paradox or whatever the fuck) and every time that came up mr doctor eleven man was like “oh this thing is obvious because i’m a genius and you didn’t realise because your brain is tiny so get out of the way and let the grownups think” or that time it turned out amy had been replaced with a slime clone for half the season and the doctor chewed rory (audience surrogate) out for somehow not realising this fact we didn’t know right from the start and like. this served no purpose other than to draw into severe question why the doctor is also this super beloved magical figure implicitly trusted by all children everywhere like. mr steven moffat is totally allergic to writing and solving mysteries in his tv show and fuck you for wanting to figure things out as you go along based on the new evidence you uncover at strategic plot intervals just let this asshole man use magical thinking to reveal he knew the answer all along and you’re a fucking idiot for not also realising this thing which had no basis or precedent anywhere else in the show.

speaking of dumb things let us not forget the absolute shitshow that was minority representation in this era. i’m not even talking about the low hanging fruit of how genuinely unironically sexist amy and clara were written where each episode moffat either seemed to loathe them or was incredibly horny over them and they had no character growth or arc or fucking anything. i’m talking about how fucking shit terrible the incidental representation was. god remember how every single fucking gay person who appeared in this era was written as one incredibly fucking stupid joke and how the women were all either sexy dominatrix, feeble girl in love, or Mother (or all three in some really terrible cases) and i’m not qualified to talk about this but also how incredibly white this era was and how on two separate occasions we had monarchs reimagined as sexy girlbosses with a gun played by black women who the doctor leched over. nothing about any of this was good ESPECIALLY coming off the back of rtd who was surprisingly forward thinking for 2005 and did a really good job of positing travel with the doctor as queer allegory. in comparison moffat gave us THE MOST heterosexual shlock i’ve ever had to endure. amy and rory could have been interesting characters were they not hemmed into this domestic bickering young straight married couple bullshit that was in no way changed or altered by traveling with the doctor except for the quasi incestuous river song reveal that was dumb and bad and stupid.

the last major mega gripe i have with the series is moffat’s fucking jingoistic boner for british military aesthetics. this carried over throughout his entire tenure as showrunner but was super terrible vomit inducing in eleven’s era. the unironic admiration for ww2 britain and winston churchill is downright wretched. are you incapable of telling a second world war story outside of churchill’s london and plucky blitz fighters. shit gives me hives so badly. and then!!! that weird church owned army that features in the future that end up being bad not for the concept of what basically amounts to an imperialistic intergalactic rendition of the fucking crusades but because they’re part of the nonsense go nowhere puzzlebox narrative that says the doctor is a not good man who will do bad things to the universe :(. remember how rtd’s doctor was a freshly traumatised man hot off the war criminal press who time and time again vehemently refuses to engage in military violence, but who tragically inadvertently turns every one of his companions into soldiers in his own personal army, and he has this moment of complete horror at the realisation and it is this which causes the downward spiral that ends in 10′s regeneration. and then how there’s this cringe line about how there’s a force of people who are “the doctor’s army, always ready to fight his battles when he’s not around” or some shit and then it turns out this is actually massive literal military operation and we’re meant to celebrate this. fuck off.

bonus round because this needs to be said but i have never hated anything like i hated that fucking human tardis episode. everything about it induced violent anger in me from the sickening overindulgence of that softgoth dark whimsy helena bonham carter tim burton aesthetic to the bafflingly terrible evil carny stereotype of those junk scavengers to the overblown sudden tragic shipbait romance of human tardis and the doctor. every word out of her mouth was trite shit and the fact that the death of her body was presented as this super emotional dramatic scene despite there being no buy in or incentive to care and the fact that every single person on tumblr in 2012 ate that shit up like it was fucking gourmet. i loathe every single thing about that episode so much.

Do you remember the last time you felt disappointed, even if it was just a little? Yeah just earlier, lol. I don’t usually feel disappointed these days, thankfully, but today was a different ride.

What was the cause? I was a one-man team for the entire day, manning a 13-hour shoot all by myself because my direct superior has been on leave for the entire week and my associate is still too new and getting used to the job; and the latter kept bombarding me all afternoon with tiny mistakes that she has been doing and waited til the last possible moment to tell me. Between having to be by myself and on my feet all day and being the direct recipient of problems I didn’t cause and yet had to help fix, my patience was really all maxed out today.

What did you do last Saturday evening? If I remember correctly, I was just at a Starbucks killing some me time.

Do you/have you ever known anyone named Walter? Tell me a little about them. Yes, I have a media contact named Walter. Idk much about him other than the fact that he lives several cities away, so PR deliveries to him always cost like a bitch.

You must have seen some films with Robin Williams in them, right? Just a couple.

^So which one is your favourite? Good Will Hunting happens to be one of my all-time favorite films; I have such a soft spot for it, and “It’s not your fault” has always stayed with me.

In your house, which one usually runs out first - shampoo or conditioner? Conditioner because my hair is I think pretty much permanently damaged at this point and I always have to use up a massive glob of conditioner every time I take a shower.

Do any of your electronic devices need to be charged at the moment? They’re already plugged in at the moment.

Are there any TV shows/series that you've been really into watching lately? Not really.

^Tell me a little bit about them. ...I’m terrible at getting attached to any series. Requires too much attention and commitment lol.

^And tell me a little about your favourite character(s). --

When you go to bed, do you wear pyjamas or a nightie? Or something else? Usually just a really thin shirt and shorts, which is the comfiest pair for me.

Is there anyone like an actor or singer, whose voice you find sexy? Yeah, Taehyung’s voice is not of this world.

Have you read many of the books that are considered literary classics? Not many, but I’ve read a handful, yeah. Only for school, though; the genre is not really my type.

^If so, do you have a favourite? Idk if it counts as a classic locally, but the school-related book I enjoyed the most was Without Seeing the Dawn. Never dreaded English class with that one. Do you enjoy any sweet fillings on sandwiches? Which one(s)? Just Nutella, otherwise I don’t like my sandwiches and most breads sweet.

Tell me something positive about the town or city that you live in. I like that it’s very urbanized without actually being in the metro, so we get all the ~amenities and trendy places and restaurants without the traffic and without the bitchy parking situations.

Can you name a book on your shelf that you've read multiple times? LOL Twilight.

^Is that one of your favourites? I wouldn’t say it’s a favorite in a literary sense; but I do have a soft spot for it just because I’m a fan of the saga in general.

Do you enjoy Tim Burton films? Which one is your favourite? No, I’m not into the style.

Do you ever laugh at yourself for doing clumsy or silly things? Sure, sometimes.

^When was the last time you felt the need to do that? Last night when of all the times I could fall asleep early, I had to do so on the night it was announced that Namjoon was gonna come out with Indigo LOL. What makes it even funnier was that I fell asleep at 9 PM, woke up for a split sec at like 10:56 PM (4 minutes before midnight KST), and was SO sure nothing was gonna come out and confidently went back to sleep...long story I woke up at like 11:45 PM with my phone already bombarded with notifications. Big oopsie, but anyway I spent the next half hour or so laughing at myself and my sister having the biggest field day about me missing out on the fun.

Has anyone you know taken up a new hobby recently? What is it? Would it count if the person was me? Hahaha since I’ve been going back up the rooftop recently, I’ve taken an interest in tracking the stars and planets, and even trying to capture photos of the latter through my phone.

How many people do you know whose name begins with the letter Z? I don’t think I know any Z’s actually.

Were you woken up by any particular sound today? What was it? My alarm. Had to wake up at 5:45 AM today since I had an 8 AM calltime for a video shoot.

Did you ever learn a language when you were in school? Which one? No, was never required of me. I have taken language lessons outside of school, though.

Did you play truth or dare much, when you were younger? Not really.

^What was one of the silliest or weirdest things you were dared to do? Was never a big player of it.

Do any of your friends or relatives have a birthday coming up? It’s my grandma’s birthday on December 7th.

If so, how old will they be? She will be 76.

Have you ever had a dream in which you met or talked to someone like a celebrity, or a fictional character? What happened? Yeah, there’s been a lot but I don’t actually recall any of them.

Is there an item that you received as a gift, but have never yet used? I don’t think so. I try to use and maximize all the gifts I receive.

What were you doing 3 hours ago? I was at a coffee shop playing In the Seom, haha. My way of relaxing after such a tiring day.
