#or I’m mad

[sallys-fanart]

Sorry if already been done, but I am collapsing inside my brain making up connections between everythinggg.

I think Rogue is an Osirian / descendant of the Osirians? His ship is the most Egyptian thing I ever saw in my life, looks like a falcon - reminiscent of Horus, who I think in the Whoniverse is some hybrid rebirth of Osiris, who competed with Sukhet for leadership of their people? I didn’t read/listen/watch the thing that came from. I remember thinking at the time “that is one Egyptian looking ship, wonder who he nicked it from.”

And the ship is WAITING in orbit around the moon rn. The one who waits - not he/she who waits, but ‘the one’… not a person, but a ship?!

And Mrs Flood! The flooding of the Nile was associated with rebirth, rejuvenation, life… and is made from the tears of Isis, mother of Horus… because she’s so sad about Osiris (Horus’ dad) being killed by Set, aka Sutekh. The coming of the flood is kinda the harbinger for Osiris, representing his restoration?? I think?? So Mrs Flood is the Harbinger of life/rebirth? Isis is the goddess of life and rebirth, so the perfect poetic answer to Sutekh.

Spanner in the works: I still love the Iris Wildthyme theory, because the 4th wall breaking is just so extreme I don’t see who else it could be. Would it be mad to suggest Isis Wildthyme?? Iris was never a Time Lord, but a regenerating Osirian Isis?? Also side note but why is she so evil-coded in the Legend of Ruby Sunday?? “We’d all like a lot of things that aren’t going to happen??” Ok mate. She only asked for a cuppa, you bellend. (yes, denial of tea is a strictly evil character trait, don’t argue with me on this one.)

Also, why was Rogue so confident he could survive long enough for the Doctor to find him in an unknown dimension? - because he’s Osirian or part Osirian, and has a loooonnnnng life, just like our timelord pal. Or, he is Isis, reborn a bunch o’ times and gender swapped in this regeneration. Or he was the companion of an Osirian Horus/Iris doctor-type character, who was lost… (Am I putting bets on everything, all at the same time? Yes. Yes I am. Can’t believe the Sutekh Truthers were right. I wanna be right one time pls.)

And why give the ring? Similarity to Horus giving Ankh to the Pharaoh - for protection. Or because he knows his Horus ship can find him, activated by the ring? inb4 Doccyboye has to find Rogue to defeat Sutekh with the power of love life.

While we’re on the ring, wtf is the symbol on it? I saw someone calling it a dagger because of Rogue, but it doesn’t look like a dagger to me. I tried isolating shapes, looks kinda like a bird with sun disk type thing on top? Or ropes, a knot? Lots of potential for Egyptian symbolism, maybe relating to Isis, Horus or Wadjet? An amulet of protection for the Doctor?

Thank you for coming to my TEDrant.

I find it so funny, in light of TikTok’s imminent American demise, that even now they aren’t considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.

Funny: Bruce is completely ignorant about gen z slang

Funnier: Bruce misunderstands slang in general because his brain takes everything literally

For example:

Steph: Bruce, you look dope today.

Bruce, wondering how in God’s name he can look like weed:

• Fidgeting and stuttering do NOT always indicate that someone is nervous.

• Avoiding eye contact does NOT always mean someone is lying.

• Having a hard time focusing does NOT always mean someone is lazy.

• Carrying around a stuffed animal or blanket does NOT make someone childish.

• Poor motor skills is NOT a direct indication of intelligence.

Not everyone fits into your box. Deal with it.
