Kinda hate how there's no eu based sylvanian online store(im in ireland), the uk shop won't ship outside the uk, and the usa one has crazy shipping prices, I just want a couple online exclusive families; build a bear is the same as well, it sucks.

"No protester should be able to evade justice by wearing a face covering
That's why we're banning them.
Offenders could receive up to a £1,000 fine and a month in prison."
mask off, full blown fascism

I understand why every companion decides to travel with the Doctor on a whim because I, too, if faced with the option to pay rent in London or the option to live in a police box rent-free, would choose the second one.
#this joke has probably been made a thousand times#doctor who#doctor who shitpost#the doctor#this is mostly about nuwho. back in the unit days jo grant would simply face aliens on a daily basis and then go home at the end of the day#rose tyler#martha jones#donna noble#amy pond#rory williams#after that they slowed down slightly. which is weird because rent did not get lower in the uk

a bbc ghosts thought i had back in November i dont think i talked about on here yet: Pat and Julian both died with watches on.


my question is are the watches stopped on the exact time they died as a sort of constant reminder, or are they now ticking forever, never to stop? and is the idea of them staying frozen forever at the exact second they died more or less heartbreaking then the idea that if they keep do keep ticking then they're a constant reminder of time passing but never growing old. also depending on the watch you can feel the vibration of the ticking against your wrist, its subtle but its there.. can you imagine being stuck with that for eternity? not just the visual reminder of time passing but literally FEELING every second that passes?
#its a valid question though and both options seem plausible somehow#this whole thought came from realizing Cap dosent wear a watch#which feels wrong#Cap just seems like a watch guy#at the very least he HAS to have a pocket watch right?#bbc ghosts#six idiots#the captain#ben willbond#pat butcher#jim howick#julian fawcett#simon farnaby#ghosts bbc#ghosts uk

Just for the sake of scientific curiosity- is O Holey Thunder a horrible thing with legs?
(In reference to Killie the Jockey OC and his ghastly racehorse frenemy, O Holy Thunder)
Yes! That’s very observant of you! It isn’t immediately obvious, because Thunder is overtly just a horse. But his ghastliness transcends his mortal form, and on the secret plane upon which horsegirls and horses connect psychically, he’s an eldritch horror, sending messages of violence and hatred that corrupt you. Unholy Thunder.
Quick, fantasy AU where most things are exactly the same, but Thunder is a dragon, but it’s exactly the same

“Fuck me about here and you’ll be MINCED for BURGER in FRANCE”
#Killie#Killie and oholythunder#thinking back to my friend who went to Montréal specifically to buy ground cheval#which she cooked and ate in front of her dressage prospect during a fight they were having#to relieve her feelings. it did nothing.#Killie doesn’t eat mammal meat unless it has clear identifiable anatomical features anyway but you can imagine#how he felt about the Tesco UK horse meat lasagne scandal#accidentally eating racehorse would be a personal nightmare for him lol#still a valid equestrian threat#I think something like half of all racehorses in the UK get minced? get minced idiots#wonder how you’d manage with racedragons#fwaaaagh just looked it up and the horse meat scandal was initially discovered in 2012 in Ireland. KILLIE BABY. YOU WERE AT GROUND ZERO.#he’s got a strict anti-unidentifiable-meat policy now for sure

jack kelly wouldn’t mind being in love with davey jacobs if it didn’t mean being in love with a boy. davey jacobs wouldn’t mind being in love with a boy if it didn’t mean being in love with jack kelly. that’s the difference. do u understand.
#i saw this on tiktok but they worded theirs with a different order which is fine#but this is MY truth.#jack kelly and internalized homophobia falling for davey. davey accepting that he’s queer but not accepting that he fell for jack.#it makes SENSE#jack kelly#davey jacobs#david jacobs#javid#javey#newsies#livesies#newsies musical#newsies broadway#newsies west end#newsies uk#uksies#west endsies#jac txt.

Do you think the side of tiktok that’s obsessed with butch greaseball knows that female Spot Conlon was in that same theater about a year and a half ago

#to be clear I am also on Butch greaseball tok#newsies#newsies uk#uksies#starlight express#starlight express uk#spot conlon#greaseball#if I had a nickel for every time a production at troubadour wembley#turned a tough guy male character into a woman#i’d have two nickels#which isn’t a lot but it’s wonderful that it’s happened twice#idk if there’s any crossover on the creative teams for the two shows#but I find the fact that they were in the same theater funny#shush sami#troubadour wembley theater

OP: Check out. The fully-sexual charged cinematic movement design.
Cnetizens: How did the director come up with the idea to have him kneel on a playing card, adding so much aesthetic energy, is that some kind of genius?




#china#cdramas#dramas#lmao#They are siblings and they're discussing serious matters#this scene is actually rather heavy because the younger brother is involved in drug trafficking#carrying more than 50 grams of heroin will result in a death sentence in china let alone being involved in drug trafficking#the older brother is a gangster king#but even he doesn't dare to get involved in the drug business because it will bring about the demise of his family#sorry for digression I mean how did the director make this scene which has absolutely nothing to do with sex#so sexually charged?#btw there're many posts with rich information about China's crackdown on drug crimes on xhs and douyin#especially about how the four major drug-trafficking families in Myanmar were wiped out overnight#they buried undercover Chinese counter-narcotics police alive and kidnapped and brutally excuted civilians#so if you're interested you can go with the key words 缅甸���大家族覆灭 on xhs and douyin#cnetizens' views on drugs are related to modern Chinese history#the first chapter of modern history in high school textbooks is the opium wars#There's a very dark joke on xhs about which country in the world would least like China to withdraw from the P5#and the answer is the UK#because it's in the first chapter of China's modern history#the Destruction of opium at Humen in 1839#no offence but Breaking Bad can't last for more than one episode if it happens in china because of the sewer detection technology#they can detect the tiniest amount of drugs in feces in a body of water the size of a lake for up to six months#which can be quickly locked down to neighbourhoods and portals#Once a foreigner was caught smuggling and selling 222.035 kg drugs in China and sentenced to death with two other Chinese associates#his country's prime minister asked for his extradition#cnetizens commented that there was an opium war and he still dare to come to China to sell drugs be like 找死court death#All the above information is to explain the gangster king's attitude towards his brother's drug business

Scott haters be like: "I saw him make a joke. But I took it seriously so I hate him. But the joke about Grian absolutely hating Jimmy's guts? A joke. Clearly. But Scott? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
OR
"I choose to believe out of context/misinformation about him over doing my own research. Therefore I hate him because I blindly believed someone the Internet."
#And I know what ya'll are gonna say “but Scott messaged a minor” and I'll say that person was scammed/it wasnt actually him#The person had slashes in the Os and ahem... THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO GRIAN BUT NO ONE BELIEVE IT WAS REALLY GRIAN#But it happens to Scott TO WHICH HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER and suddenly it's 'he totally did it'#Girl he was in university and Scott public told his professors about his youtube channel bc it has his name in it. And legal in the UK +#Universities can & will look at ALL social media you have If you're doing something illegal LIKE MESSAGING A MINOR THE POLICE WOULD PULL UP#mcyt#trafficblr#scott smajor#smajor1995#scott smajor1995

'The Polar bear at Blair Atholl,' 2024.
#em draws stuff#the terror#harry goodsir#franklin expedition#a ponderment on fucked up polar bears heavily inspired by the 'nanoq: flat out and bluesome' art exhibition by snæbjörnsdóttir/wilson#short explanation of which is that it was a photographic survey of all 34 taxidermied polar bears in the uk#including the one the only blair atholl polar bear. yes it really looks like that.#(they fixed it up some in 2016 but it's still narsty. highly recommend googling this particular beast.)#this is what happens when you put a polar bear on display in 1786 (at the least) and you Keep It There for twohundredsome years#ANYWAY. hey mr goodsir why'd you go to nunavut to see a very bad polar bear when you had a very bad polar bear at home#<- JOKE. i am allowed to do big ponderment art and also have myself a little jonk in the same post. farewell now.

i like to think everyone has a colour associated with them, whether its just your fave colour or what you generally wear most of or what colour your bedroom walls are. i always associate the name sophie with dark blue, my mum is always a nice turquoise, i like to think my colour is a bright sunflower yellow.
if you have a specific shade pls tell me i adore when ppl have associated colours and tell me them, bc i think of them when i see that colour
#shut up danni's talking#its one of my ultimate favourite aspects of character designs and i will forever use it w my characters#but i also think abt it w ppl!!!!#its almost certainly spawned from a combo of my mum passionately loving her colour + my primary school#my primary school's name/theme/whatever was related to the rainbow#its common for primary schools in the uk for the uniform to be polo shirts and schools would pick a colour and that was your uniform#but w my school's theme being rainbows they were like lol whatever colour as long as you're in a polo shirt#so kids would choose whichever shirt colour they wanted some kids switched it up every year#others stuck w the colour they chose all 6 years#so of course i would correlate ppl w colours which is how i always relate sophie w dark blue#bc i'd play w this girl called sophie in the afterschool club who always wore dark blue through all the years i knew her#tbh i still think of my brother also as dark blue bc he would wear the same colour#if you could not guess my colour was yellow and i always felt distinctly wrong when i had to wear a different colour#there were a couple times i had to borrow a new shirt bc mine got dirty or all mine hadn't been washed so i had to wear my brother's#i don't know if its just me but i feel like everyone has an affinity with a colour even if its n9t your fave#hence the poll lmao
