could also be 'look, this planet I love is destroyed. gone forever. but her people live on and with a time machine I can still go back'

its been 13 years and im still not over how the ninth doctor’s idea of a good first trip for his new companion was to take her to see her planet blow up at a celebratory party

he definitely doesn't match them

taako adventurezone is the kind of gay that pairs a long dangly earring with a stud on the other side except up to eleven. he’s wearing hoops and studs and dangles of five different lengths and none of them match

What do you like most about Mara Jade? As a character, as a person, etc?

That’s a good question, actually, because I’ve never stopped to think about it? The first Thrawn book I read was actually “Dark Force Rising,” and I fell in love almost right away. Zahn is one of those male writers who really knows how to write women, and I don’t doubt that that helped.

And for all that she has a dark past, she’s... strangely enough, a decent person? For what she is and what she’s been? Despite wanting to kill Luke, which... is kind of fair? He may not have killed Palpatine but he was the reason for his death, so if Palpatine hadn’t lied to Mara in his last moments about that, she might actually have done that.

Mara is mature, capable, loyal, pragmatic, clever, sassy, snarky... and yet she has this big, big heart. Even before she realizes that Palpatine lied to her, she’s no longer 100% on board with killing Luke after getting to know him and his family. And for that heart to have survived the horrific closeness she had to Palpatine... is just... amazing. I love it.

And I think she’s a very fun character to build AUs around. :D

(Okay, okay, also Luke/Mara is one of my OTPs, and I just *clenches fist* REALLY love them together.)

orelseatlastsheunderstoodit replied to your post: I wish they would make a new Pride and Prejudice...

I saw the 1995 miniseries in literature class and enjoyed it, but the 2005 movie–while not good–definitely was amazing to a bunch of high school girls the night before they graduated. So, despite its inaccuracies and the way the text is made more capital-R Romantic, I still enjoy it. But it would be great to have those two leads in something as detailed as a miniseries!!

That’s my whole thing. I fully appreciate that the movie leaned heavy into the Romance, because the book is that, but it’s so much more as well. The cast was too good for what they were given.

in my mind you are a BNF but I know what you mean

it’s crucial to my self-image that i’m perceived, if at all, as either pleasantly niche and something of a hidden gem for those of Particular Tastes, or noted and mocked for Doing It Wrong (my proudest moment as a fan creator was when someone actually popular vague-blogged about there being a hand job in the whouffaldi tag, which was me, i was the handjob, i will treasure that forever)

but i know what you mean, and thank you

Didn’t Missy mention having a daughter?

Then the heart of Éowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her.

orelseatlastsheunderstoodit replied to your post “Critical Role is my absolute favourite thing atm but I’m literally...”

I'm still way back in Campaign 1 and haven't even come near Campaign 2 yet, and I haven't really posted a ton, but what I've watched/listened to, I've really enjoyed! So far my favorite characters are Vax and Percy, but pretty much everybody is great.

I’m so bad at choosing favourites, honestly. I utterly adore them all, but Percy and Vax are probably my favourites too (testaments to how fantastic male characters can be when queer dudes get to express themselves with character creation). Percy is just so entertaining with how he speaks and thinks. The line “your secret is safe with my indifference” remains utterly iconic.

I don't understand, is it because it's in safe mode?

Yeah. 

Thank you, tumblr, for protecting me from the sight of my post on my dash.

Which option on your store is the shipping with tracking?

Everything comes with tracking by default, the only ones that don’t are stickers and…I think just stickers at this point (which I note on the listing). I just reeeeeally like to have tracking because I get a bit nervous otherwise. o-|o

Here’s wishing that you maintain balance et al during a mental month. Please do not splatter.

Oh, it’s gonna be great, too. But, uh, film stuff reaching a climax, a Doctor Who convention, and school in one month! Plus a couple personal writing projects. It’s gonna be mental.

TWO WHOLE DOORS (also damn hello Doctor)                    

Now, I never said that, at most they’re two partial doors :P.

Where did you find the trousers

I don’t know whether the specific trousers will be helpful to you since I’m not sure whether they’re sold outside of Europe (they’re ASHLEY BROOKE by Heine culottes), but I found that searching any for combination of blue/teal/culottes/trousers wide legs etc. gives you quite a number of potential alts. I just picked ones that were similar-ish in colour and okay in price. Luckily, that’s a part of Thirteen’s wardrobe that’s definitely in fashion at the moment.

What do you think about the episode, Ren?

Thank you <333

I am fresh off of watching it and will probably reblog with more thoughts in the morning after I’ve rewatched and processed more of it but it’s hard for me to go to sleep with all these thoughts so this is gonna be two parts, I guess.

Anyway tl;dr I loved it. I think it’s my new favorite series finale. It’s also emotional for me in a few ways, particularly bc again, I never finished series 10 while it was airing due to a lot of mental health + transition stuff I was going thru at the time, and I’m really happy I was able to reconnect with Doctor Who in such an emotional way at a time now, when I both really need it and I’m in a headspace to receive it. Also, surprisingly, I avoided a lot of spoilers for this episode. I obviously knew that Heather came back (that one’s hard to avoid) and I had a feeling that Simm!Master in disguise was the guy in the first part, but overall I avoided a lot.

I’ve also been wanting for like, YEARS, since 2013 at least, to see a Steven Moffat episode with Simm!Master. I really, really like John Simm and Simm!Master is a hot mess but he’s my hot mess problematic fave. He is my “you were obsessed with this thing at 14 and you will never let it go.” And I thought it was never going to happen. And then it did. And then it was GOOD. And I’m beyond happy, probably the most happiest, about having an actual canon Simm!Master episode without the drums. 

He was very much a secondary character, and that’s okay. This episode wasn’t for him. The amount we got is just what I needed and I feel like having any more would’ve been overkill. Because what I most can’t get over is how absolutely amazing it was to see Missy’s character arc made literal. I LOVED watching them interact with each other. Michelle Gomez is amazing, and I think Missy is a much better Master, but there was something really satisfying about seeing it? Literally laid out like that? About how Missy is just more of a complex person in literal comparison to her past.

Idk if it was intentional but the fact that he’s like, repeatedly the King of the Wasteland. In every episode he’s in, he cannot help but burn it all down and stand in the ruins of it. The destructiveness is like, impulsive. The image of him standing over the mobilizing Cyberman army when they’re on the roof just like, gah. I love it. I love how every time we saw him and Missy together just the look on their faces was different.

I cannot get over the scene where she stabs him. I’m so happy I didn’t see any gifs of it or anything so I could watch it play out for the first time on video. Because she says it. She tells him how he burns hot, how he’s chaotic, and she loved that but she just cannot be it. That’s not the world anymore. He is straight out of the time war messy. But she’s moved past that. To an extent, Twelve has moved past that. He’s grown with and beyond his time war trauma. But Simm!Master hasn’t. And the fact that he laughs. That he congratulates her on a job well done. I just like, melted into myself. It was kind of beautiful.

I think this is the end of Missy though I don’t know. I think him killing her was really tragic, but I get it. I don’t know if she can fully complete her redemption arc and what that would even mean for the Master. Tbh, I’m not even sure she wanted to have a redemption arc? I liked what they alluded to a bit in “The Lie of the Land” of there being more than one kind of good, but I’m not convinced, in the end, her aim was anything but to do what it takes to stand with the Doctor. Morality neutral. I have some Series 12 spoilers via tumblr so I know a bit about the future, but not enough for it to really matter.

And this is not even getting into how cool an origin story for the Cybermen (well, the Mondasian Cybermen) I think this is. And the whole plot device of the black hole time relativity is so smart and such a cool conflict. And the fact that like, essentially Simm!Master ended up on Gallifrey, they fixed him up, and then they were like “please leave” I thought that was so funny. 

Anyway I’m rapidly losing coherency but thank you for asking so I could go off about this. I am probably going to write something in the morning too when I’ve rewatched the episode and not coming off the excitement of just having seen it.
