the thing abt the delgado master that fucks me up is. well. he baby. he’s scared and stupid and he loves spending time with the doctor. his main weapon is a device that shrinks people really small. he’s scared of the doctor laughing about him and he worries about the doctor’s health and he runs to the doctor whenever things get bad because he knows the doctor will fix it. and then every master afterwards lives in the shadow of an awful horrible life created to escape death because they’re afraid. they’ve moved from scared (kiddie grabbing their friend’s hand) to Afraid (prey animal). every master since delgado stands in the shadow of death. delgado is a little baby and he thinks the clangers are real and if i think about him too hard i burst into tears like i’ve seen a kitten for the first time
The real world is crazy most of the people I work with don't even know what an oubliette is
in 2026, resolve to spend less time arguing online with strangers about things that neither one of you has any power to change, and more time engraving your opinions on buried tablets so that future archaeologists will overestimate their importance
it baffles me when people say “i got tricked into watching this show for a ship that isn’t even canon” bro if those men had kissed, you would’ve SEEN it. i’ve seen gifs of men making out in shows i have no desire to watch. i’ve seen sex scenes from movies that nobody has ever heard of. when men kiss on screen, i am notified
love it when an extremely high-functioning and put-together character gets slammed with something that would topple any lesser person but continues to function in an alarmingly efficient manner while everyone who knows and cares about them flutters anxiously around them like "please lie down please rest please accept medical attention" while the high-functioning character just looks askance at all their concerned faces like "what are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine" as tiny cracks start appearing in their demeanor and facade
interesting how, in the realm of fiction, there are some morally reprehensible behaviors that are "acceptable" for someone's character to have, and some that wait a minute post canceled. My cat who doesn't like cuddles just settled directly into my lap for the first time in the 10 years I've known her
This is all that matters now
i actually think it's beautiful that not everyone sees the tenmartha vision because you can differentiate the basic bitches from the ones with good taste in media. godspeed
The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.
I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.
Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!
But let me tell you a story:
I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.
One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.
At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.
I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.
Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.
The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.
And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.
So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.
So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.
By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.
LMAO and Loam have the same letters. coincedence? or is this another shining truth that earth and soil is joyous and plentiful
I like this a lot, it's just him
