Here is another portion of that goofy victorian interaction

Can you tell im really enjoying their nose dynamic(💞)

Tbh the Legend of Baskerville theme from this series is a total banger, and considered a love theme (by me). Go listen to it on youtube now!(minute 25:55)

Having a lot of thoughts on the Baskerville episodes from this series being the most mysterious and entertaining (to me), especially as a kid, due to the soundtracks, almost complete absence of Sherlock, sudden change of setting to the countryside, etc., etc.

The last time i rewatched it though, they just appeared to me too long, but its probably because i was busy drawing throughout the sequence. I have to re-check sometime soon.

au where the death note induces medical death but not necessarily permanent death. light finds this out the hard way when he attempts CPR on L as part of his facade™ and it actually works. and now L is impervious to the death note. light is really going to strangle ryuk one of these days

"Bi-regeneration" is nothing. It's barely a ripple in the waters. Way back in Four's run, we had Romana casually swapping new bodies around like sweaters. We had the second Master just helping himself to some other guy's body when his regenerations ran out. We had the mysterious Watcher who existed apart from Four before he regenerated and then joined with him to become Five. We had... whatever happened when Five became Six. And then in new Who we've had Ten regenerating into himself. We've had the metacrisis and the DoctorDonna and Tentoo. We've had the Time Lords just lobbing a whole new set of regenerations at Eleven. Thirteen regenerating into the Master and then back again. The Fugitive Doctor and the Timeless Child. The history of Doctor Who is a history of ever more insane and incoherent regeneration lore. Bi-regeneration? Absolutely. Why the hell not?

I honestly think this episode was meant to be confusing in a sort of Alice-in-Wonderland-ish way, where the loose ends won't/aren't meant to be tied up later. It's confusing and random, but that's the point.

Kate tells Ruby, "It's what we all do. We see something inexplicable and invent the rules to make it work."

And I think that might be exactly what Ruby does. Stick with me PLEASE

The premise of the episode opens with a superstition: a fairy circle. Something surrounded by stories and myths that don't necessarily make sense, and yet many people form their entire lifestyles around these belief systems because they explain the unexplainable for them.

The woman that follows Ruby appears to chase people away from her, or convince them to abandon her, which is clearly a common theme within Ruby as a character. She's afraid of being abandoned.

Typically breaking a superstition means that you're going to suffer some sort of misfortune as a result, right? If you were to break a superstition that you believed in (ie. ruining a fairy circle), what misfortune would you fear most happening to you? For Ruby, it probably centers around her fear of abandonment.

We know that Ruby is supernatural in some way. She's definitely not a typical human. She can make it snow on command? Who's to say that the "silly little explanations" that she makes up to make sense of her unknown don't ACTUALLY come to fruition. What if she has the power to do that?

So, let start from the beginning. Ruby and the Doctor break a fairy circle, an action which culturally means bad luck. In Ruby's mind, her worst luck would be to be abandoned by everyone, and to never find her birth mother in the end. And that's exactly what happens.

Roger Ap William is a name mentioned by the Doctor in the first couple of minutes of 73 yards. The only information that is given is that he was evil, welsh, and almost brought the world to nuclear destruction. That's all Ruby knows. Mad Jack appears at first to be some arbitrary name Ruby reads on a piece of paper, but is later revealed to literally be Roger Ap William? How coincidental is that? I don't think that Roger and Mad Jack are actually the same person. In fact, Mad Jack probably WAS just someone's dog. They were just two names that Ruby had recently heard, and then drew an imaginary line between. To further the point, Roger is SUCH a caricature. His only three personality traits are quite literally evil, welsh, and likes nukes, which is all the Ruby knew about him.

Throughout the episode Ruby finds herself in a situation that doesn't make sense, so she comes up with her own explanations to make them make sense. She invents her own rules and her own mission. She comes up with a string of tasks that aren't logical to us, but it's the explanation she has come up with given the information that she had. She's convinced herself that it makes sense. She starts to form her lifestyle around a belief system that she created because it explains the supernatural she is experiencing.

And because of whatever supernatural abilities surround her, she's actually making her percepetion of reality the REAL reality.

(Edit: Not to mention that superstitions have been a common theme this season (ie. 14 invoking that salt superstition in WBY kicked off this season's entire plot) AND WBY is the first case in which we see Susan Twist as well...

It all leads back to that moment.)

Apparently they cut that whole "leading sexual advances" joke between Mac and Ava bc ABC didn't approve the jokes Rob was ad libbing (and it clearly wasn't supposed to indicate anything other than Mac being gay) I'm DEAD

ideal ship dynamic: guy who’s the most mentally unstable person you’ve ever heard of in your entire life x guy who wants to bang them so bad it has them saying things like “nothing wrong with that guy. they’re completely normal and sane”

Hi, could I request all of Katie McGrath's characters (Lena, Morgana, Toni, Victoria, maybe even that one from Jurassic World who got even by that dinosaur, crossing over and finding out that they all have their own version of the reader. Thanks.

Lena: my Y/N is a Kryptonian

Toni Stark: my Y/N started out as a test pilot and I just had to have them

Morgana: I sought to conquer their land, they conquered me instead (winks)

Victoria Von Doom: mine was the leader of the Fantastic Four.

Zara: I met my Y/N after they saved me from a dinosaur

Meanwhile with all the Y/Ns who are tending to their infant children…

Y/N: we are so lucky

All of them nod in agreement…

Been looking at some of the behind the scenes stuff around the 60th anniversary specials and honestly I adore that essentially the reason that it's a Tennant Doctor and Donna reunion is because apparently when Russell took over as showrunner again he was like "hello my beloved friend Catherine Tate do you wanna be on Doctor Who again?" And she was like "YES I'm gonna text David to see if he's down to clown" and David was like "YES ABSOLUTELY". Like they got the band back together straight up just because they're buddies and they wanted to. Very darling of them imo

Gansey is so charming he got the staff of Henrietta’s hospital to violate HIPAA.

How are you feeling these days? How is your health? 👹🌻

this is such a funny emoji combo 😭 still, thank you for asking!

i've been better. i'm in and out of the doctor's office every other week, and a new medication i'm taking has me permanently tired/sleepy -so it's been difficult to find energy for anything other than work.

but we persist

As much I as love Martha's S3 ending, how it means so much to me on a personal level, the whole "Martha Jones is so strong she doesn't need the doctor" has never sat right with me. Her strength should be praised, but the only reason Martha was strong is because she had no other choice. It was be strong or let Ten keep putting her down across time and space. It was be strong or let Joan Redfern be racist to her. It was be strong or let the Family of Blood murder everyone. It was be strong or let her family get tortured. It was be strong or let the Master kill you for fun.

Martha doesn't need the doctor because she had to outgrow him for her own wellbeing, not because she inherently cares less about them compared to everyone else.

Had she been treated with kindness and grace like every other companion, she could have "wanted" him like the others. It's wild to me how in a show about the magic of space and time the first Black companion's main thing has to be... that she doesn't have to have any of it apparently. This othering dressed up as a compliment of how unique she is. You don't set someone on fire then congratulate them for putting out the flames.
