yes, doctors suck, but also "the medical ethics and patient interaction training doctors receive reinforces ableism" and "the hyper competitive medical school application process roots out the poor, the disabled, and those who would diversify the field" and "anti-establishment sentiment gets applications rejected and promotions requests denied, weeding out the doctors on our side" and "the gruesome nature of the job and the complete lack of mental health support for medical practitioners breeds apathy towards patients" and "insurance companies often define treatment solely on a cost-analysis basis" and "doctors take on such overwhelming student loan debt they have no choice but to pursue high paying jobs at the expense of their morals" are all also true

none of this absolves doctors of the truly horrendous things they say and do to patients, but it's important to acknowledge that rather than every doctor being coincidentally a bad person, there is something specific about this field and career path that gives rise to such high prevalence of ableist attitudes

and I WILL elaborate happily

#theres so much that contributes to this #and its such a traditional field that any change takes ten years to take effect even when its not as controversial as disability rights #ive no lost love for doctors as a whole #but the deeper causes here need to be examined to understand how this problem manifested and what can be done to fix it #disability #chronic illness #ableism #premed #medicine #salt baby talks

THE DOCTOR We had a pact, him and me. Every star in the universe, we were going to see them all.

My version of The Master and The Doctor in their Academy days 😊

A speedpaint video of this will be available at my Patreon on april 1st!

#doctor who #thoschei #doctor x master #academy era #my art #My thought process for their appearances here was sort of an average between their incarnations #the doctor is mostly taller and has messier and usually lighter hair while the master is shown to have had black hair in a flashback #also since Hartnell had white hair as an old man and we are not sure what color his hair was I thought what if it was always white #I've seen most draw him as blond but couldn't find any sources for it so I just went with this instead because it looks cool #I had fun making Prydonian robes designs!! I would love to design a bunch of Gallifreyan fashion for each Chapter and House it seems so fun #I also wanted to draw a Gallifreyan night!! since I never see any depictions of it even tho the planet should have nights #even if it's a binary system since the orbits would have to be very large for gravitational stability both suns would set at similar times #anyway I'll stop talking lmao 🫡

#fifth doctor #ainley!master #doctor x master #classic who #doctor who #dw #* #LOVE this moment & it gives vital context to what happens in planet of fire i think #god. the mind games the master is playing here #things he knows the doctor is going to do: #1) refuse to kill him in a duel to the death #2) beg for the master's life #3) choose an innocent's life over the master's #this whole scenario (which the master has scripted! entirely!) is him going 'SEE. I KNOW YOU.' #it's like. i can prove you still care about me. and also. i can prove you don't care about me enough #it's not enough!!! #it's like the master saying to the doctor 'how can you ask me to change my ways when you won't change yours' #'what is any olive branch from you worth when i know you'll make this choice'

Passing on advice I received growing up as someone who grew up around alternative adults of several flavors and heavily tattooed folks with "job killer" tattoos (and was raised by one such person!) that I have had to put into practice as someone who is alternative themself now:

If you are a young alternative person, it cannot be understated how important having a couple "normie" pieces of clothes in your closet "just in case" is.

Sometimes you will have a job interview, a doctor's appointment, a housing application, or some other kind of obligation where for your own safety and security you need to tone yourself down for a brief period of time.

It's not fair. It's bullshit. But sometimes you have to eat your vegetables you know? And it's a cost benefit analysis and it depends on the things you personally prioritize in your own life, but sometimes minor sacrifices have to be made in order to keep yourself safe and get yourself things you need to do so.

#thinking about this because i'm actively toning myself down for a doctors appointment right now #because i need my T and i can't have them creating biases against me and jeopardize that #because to me it's worth the temporary dissatisfaction of not wearing my jewelry or any make up or my favorite clothes #and covering my tattoos #to get a medication that i desperately need #like. like i said - personal cost benefit analysis is important here #but yeah #sometimes we gotta do things we don't like to get something we need #original post

I just wish i could make people understand better that their delight in seeing david tennant return to doctor who seems to have come at the expense of so many of us who felt seen and represented in the thirteenth doctor. I won't criticise people for their joy, but that it was done in a manner that undermines some of the direct impact that jodie whittaker had on the show is just so disheartening. That her costume- beautifully imbued with meaning and intended to be for anyone- was burnt away in seconds is the most evident disservice. It just feels like so much of what she and her era represented was not understood by those who took over (i don't want to assign individual blame as i don't know enough about how that part of tv production works), as well as the BBC. I don't think the BBC ever really understood or celebrated what her doctor meant (and continues to mean) for so many of us. She's been done a disservice, and so have we as fans (we couldn't have just one more 13th era novel please?), and I'm just... really fucking tired.

(btw, with this opinion, i'm not interested in discussing subjective opinions about the writing of this era. My issue here is with the implicit sexism i think runs through the BBC which affected their promotion of the 13th doctor and has now fed into a narrative being pedalled by those who dislike her mainly through their own prejudices and implicit or explicit discriminations that david tennant and rtd are back to 'save' the show. It felt like the BBC never had the era's back, and that even the simple respect of being treated like the other eras is too much for them to offer.

also, this is all only touching on what needs to be a more complex and nuanced discussion. Whilst i hope this post is well-worded and as fair as possible, it's really just comes from a place of weariness and a need to express my frustration.)

#thirteenth doctor #i think implicit is the right word to use here #sorry if there's any typos i cannot tell you how not great i feel rn

I think i finally understand how the Distortion works. I mean, i don’t think it’s possible to ever fully understand it, and i don’t know the whole picture yet because i don’t know what Helen will be like, but i feel like i’ve just been granted a glimpse at the lovecraftian (as in ineffable) thing that is this being.

It’s not a person and a creature fighting inside one mind. There’s no Michael clawing himself to the surface to express his emotions and get his revenge.

Michael Shelley is dead. The Distortion became Michael. It sounds so simple, yet a least in my opinion it’s hard to fully understand.

I think what provides the best metaphor is a small thing the Distortion says after becoming Helen: "without a proper mind." The Distortion does not have its own mind. It’s only a what, but in order to really exist in this reality, it needs a who. It needs a body, but also a mind.

So if i understand this right, it’s like this: Michael Shelley is dead. His conciousness is not there anymore. And the Distortion got forced into that mind, an empty mind of a dead person. This doesn’t make it human, it’s still able to understand the impossible, it’s still the thing that was created to scare and kill. But in the mind it’s living in… the previous owner’s furniture is still there. It gets the dead person’s memories. It becomes Michael, in the sense that it has to be someone. Its existence got tied to being Michael, although Michael Shelley is dead.

When Michael got "emotional", that wasn’t Michael Shelley coming through. It was the Distortion grappling with the side effects of being someone - of living in a mind with all the memories and the human emotions that a human mind can’t fully turn off, even when the thing inhabiting it isn’t human at all.

The Distortion was Michael in the sense that it was thinking with Michael Shelley’s mind. When it became Helen, its consciousness, its being stayed the same, but it needed to adapt to this new mind. It could see clearer now, realizing that the windows of the previous house had been dirty, realizing that the wirings of the previous mind had driven it to do something that it actually didn’t want to do. The throat of the Spiral itself getting caught in the spiralling of its own, borrowed mind.

#here comes the first michael essay #this is only the start #i've still got so many more thoughts #i hope this makes sense #idk why but i think i get how the distortion feels #being forced to be someone who isn't you at all #like - it doesn't make sense but i get it?? #okay i haven't watched doctor who but maybe it's kinda like being the doctor? #you kinda change personality and become someone else but your true being stays the same? #(as if anyone of us knew what it's like being the doctor any more than we know what it's like being the distortion lol) #tma #michael distortion #tma the distortion #helen distortion #the magnus archives #tma podcast #tma spoilers #tma thoughts #mag 101 #another twist #michael shelley #i just realized i've probably spelled michael wrong in the tags before oops (i know how it's spelled but “micheal” keeps popping up so...) #you know what i'm gonna put the wrong version too for reach #micheal distortion
