What made you start watching Doctor Who?

[smile-files]

guys. i need your opinion of this. because i'm genuinely so confused now

what time period is the professor layton series in?? the prequel trilogy and the main trilogy. when are they supposed to be taking place

i could've sworn one of the games (though i forget which) mentions that someone's been to the moon already which would put them at least in the late 60s into the 70s going by our world's timeline... but i don't know maybe space travel was discovered earlier in this universe???

‘Is something funny?’ asked Swagger. ‘Did I miss a funny thing?’ Only then did I realise I was laughing — laughing so hard I had to use the wall to get to my feet. ‘What’s funny?’ he demanded again. ‘Tell me!’ ‘Look at us,’ I said. ‘Go on, look! You’re trying to tear me apart, he’s trying to pull us off each other, and now I’ve got the giggles.’ ‘Why the hell is any of that funny?’ he thundered, but his face was so hurt and confused I almost wanted to hug him. ‘Because,’ I told him, ‘this is what I’m like when I’m alone.’

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) - Watched on August 5, 2023

It spirals to its inevitable conclusion. We revisit a moment, a scene. A little more plays out, we step back or step forward. We live transfixed in a moment. Sometimes a scene mirrors another, it's all the same but with different details. There is no escaping fate, we can only be sucked closer and closer to our inevitable conclusion.

Stop Making Sense (1984) - Watched on October 5, 2023

I genuinely don’t think this needs any explanation or justification at all. I could watch it over and over and over and over and over.

Possession (1981) - Watched on October 17, 2023

It took me three sittings to get through this film and I wasn’t sure I liked it immediately after I finished it. And then it just simmered in my mind for days and weeks after until it finally clicked into place. I love the way Sam Neill moves in this. Everyone comments on the haunting way Isabelle Adjani looks directly into the camera, and yea. Yeah. Ok. Yeah. Yeah.

The Devils (1971) - Watched on June 26, 2023

I thought going into it with the full knowledge of Urbain Grandier would defang it, and perhaps this did soften the blow a bit, but it's audacious, frenzied, sensual. You get tangled up in its themes, its sensations, its torture.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975) - Watched on January 13, 2023

This set off a brief and ferocious obsession with Al Pacino. I have a strained relationship with films based on true crimes, but this slides past my qualms, perhaps just on the strength of the fact John Wojtowicz himself did write a review of it.

Bound (1996) - Watched on April 5 and August 19, 2023

The way Corky and Violet can come together with genuine trust so quickly. The way Ceaser can misunderstand Violet so fundamentally. The literal betrayal in realising who someone is.

Häxan (1922) - Watched on October 27, 2023

The 1922 equivalent of a Youtube video essay where a guy is like, "Guys, I just learned a bunch of fucked up facts about witches and witch trials. I think maybe we just execute women for being poor and mentally ill. Also aren't mental institutions a bit fucked up?" but like, a bit hornier than you would expect for the subject.

Cruising (1980) - Watched on January 17, 2023

It’s all about looking and being noticed. The camera is looking. Al Pacino is looking. The men are looking. And the ambiguity of the gaze and the plot.

Pontypool (2008) - Watched on October 4, 2023

It's a film about words. It's a film about broadcasting from a radio station and seeing nothing. Our imagination fills in the visual gaps. It's so much more horrifying to be piecing everything together from the safety of a recording booth.

The Lair of the White Worm (1988) - Watched on February 1, 2023

Hugh Grant—looking like a lesbian—who is a freaky little rich boy who believes in cryptids, Peter Capaldi—looking like a lesbian—sucking snake venom from a neck bite, an incredibly sexy snake woman with a house full of snake stuff, a giant snake puppet, surreal dream sequences, the coolest game of snakes and ladders ever made, snake dicks, weaponised bagpipe music, homoeroticism, and giant strap-ons.

Ravenous (1999) - Watched on October 19, 2023

This film is so offbeat and strange. It has the strange feel of a comedy, while being a really understandably grim depiction of cannibalism as manifestation of greed, expansionism, and colonization. I kept having these moments of shock that this was a studio movie, that studios were willing to make this film that so thoroughly deconstructs the American mythology.

Penda's Fen (1974) - Watched on July 6, 2023

The first movie in a long time that has made me feel as though I need to pick it apart like an essay, to rewatch multiple times and take notes and repeat sentences until I’ve done a thorough analysis. I've never had a film hit me in quite this way before.

“least favorite” isn’t anywhere close to bad. it just shows how damn hard the competition is going, but we’re talking about gold medals all around for each actor i’ve seen portray the doctor so far.

[bobcatblahs]

One of my older friends (in her fifties) asked me (31) who my fav Nuwho Doctor was and when I said tied between Nine and Twelve she sorta gave me a look

“You’re not a ten/eleven kinda gal?”

HONEY YOU KNOW MY HUSBAND DOES THE ANYTHING ABOUT HIM SUGGEST THA-

I was polite. Like.

“No. Not really into the whole golden retriever energy thing those two had a lot of the time”

I love me a grumpy bastard.

Hm, perhaps 100 words for Roots Grow Up? And since it's practically Saturday, Typhoon Island~☆

Roots Grow Up:

Isamu had thought that it was weird for a shinobi to pay attention to a normal person, but some people are generous, and it made sense for shinobi to have medicine to treat weird stuff that most people didn’t usually have to.  “Should I have?” The Uchiha heir rolls his eyes so hard his whole head moves.  “Spare me from Senju and civilians!  This is the worst.” Isamu has no idea what he’s done. “I’m not sure I follow either,” the Senju clan head says. “She was trying to seduce him,” the Uchiha clan head says.  “The Hyuuga don’t allow shinobi to marry in, but they still need some new blood, so they have to use civilians.  Having more chakra than any other civilian made him the perfect target.  They probably were actually on the way back from a mission, noticed him, and poisoned him so she’d have an excuse to get close.  It’s a wonder he wasn’t kidnapped.”

Typhoon Island:

By the time they stop Hikaku has entirely lost track of where they are within the mound.  The place they stop looks entirely nondescript, just more jutsu-smoothed stone.  He would guess that they’re near the center, and that the floor is a few inches higher than it was at the edge, but he’s not particularly confident about it. “The kidnappers are about a hundred and twenty feet ahead of us, and below,” Tobirama says.  “They may not know that they have the children I’m looking for, but they might threaten them by luck, or one of the children might recognize me.”

Every single morning I wake up to my eleven year old, eight pound Chihuahua spooning the back of my neck, his tiny baby matchstick legs locked in my hair like an octopus torn from the sea as he lays there in another dimension

i'm still harping on the choice to have the new until dawn start at sunset and how i take my winter darkness seriously but

i'm pretty sure canada or at least southern alberta is way south from where i live, but the sun being so high it shows over the mountains at 7PM in february?? 😂😭

ok the internet (timeanddate dot com) tells me that on 2.2.2015 in calgary (which i believe is close to where the game takes place) the sun set at 17:28! that's 1,5 hours of d a r k n e s s already before the beginning of the game (new time, 19:02)!

the stupidest thing that ever happened in naruto was that the story pit ino - a girl whose skillset revolves around brains - against kakuzu - a guy who people think is immortal bc he has five hearts - and didn't have her absolutely demolish him

[seaweedstarshine]

Haters call eleven straight Doctor because he’s attracted to older women, when his type is clearly just morally questionable people who look middle-aged (he calls Churchill “dear,” don’t forget. he never calls Amy or Clara that. Churchill is in the same category as River and the TARDIS).

[pupkinpumpkin]

Just like Daathrata himself, the AO3 fanfics about him are brilliant and amazing but I need MORE

[quietwingsinthesky]

doctor who human!au with multiple doctors but they’re all named by their numbers because they’re all trans and picked them out theirselves.
