#leela talks

[the-worms-in-your-bones]

I am once again going down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out the ages of the Gallifrey characters

#idk why my brain gets so caught up on this but it does #I’m also talking like start of gallifrey because I’m not getting into all that for them now #what bothers me the most is that we’ve got basically nothing on Narvin #I can’t remember for sure but I don’t even think we know what regeneration he’s on #I don’t think it would be hard to assume his first but also it could not be #like for brax we know he’s older than the doctor so that puts him at at least 1000 #and romana is around 600 years younger than the doctor so she’d be around 400 #and then I’m going with 50 ish for leela because we don’t know her actual age so I’m using Louise jamesons age plus the time she spent #married to andred #also with romana that’s assuming that her and the doctor experienced the same amount of time in between them traveling together and the #start of gallifrey #I guess that could also count for brax too but whatever #for narvin what we’ve got is that he was above the rank of a junior agent under vansell during the time of the fourth doctor #(at least probably) #so we can make the assumption that he wasn’t fresh out of the academy/cia training #which makes me inclined to say that he’s older than romana #but that’s really all I’ve got on him #doctor who #gallifrey #romana #irving braxiatel #narvin #leela #clearly this is a subject I am normal about #if anyone else makes it this far in my rant and has any insights I’d love to hear them

i find it so cute that leela’s maternal line consistently has Some Wrist Thing going on for most of their lives as another way to connect them all visually

I recall looking up the ages of Fry and Leela on Google once. It gave me Fry's age at the beginning of the series (24) and Leela's age at the present (30).

Obviously, the implication is that Fry and Leela are roughly the same age, but tbh, I kinda like the idea of a dumb 20 something guy falling for a women in her thirties, and I think it explains a lot about their dynamic.

Of course Leela's not gonna take Fry seriously at first. He's like... Some dumb... well... not quite a kid, but he might as well be. And of course Fry's eventually gonna win her over. For as dumb as he can be, he still has a charming youthful energy and even a few moments of genuine intelligence.

Like, I kinda get that age gaps aren't everyone's cup of tea, but tbh I think this one is kinda cute. There's no weird power dynamic because Fry and Leela are still ultimately in the same peer group, and unlike certain other adult cartoons, I think Futurama does a pretty good job keeping Fry from being too dumb and too mean, which in turn means that Leela never really looks like she's too good for him.

Wow I can't believe Leela and Amy formed a QPR to help each other raise the kids with Kiff.

#Futurama #Turanga Leela #Amy Wong #Kiff Kroker #Falc talks #This isn't the plot at all so no spoilers #But also... it's exactly the plot lol

If I were in charge of the Futurama revival, I would write an episode where Fry and Bender are kidnapped and forced to work in a maid café as Catgirl Bender and Bunnygirl Fry. Like Bender gets them into trouble by stealing from some evil guy and they are both forced to work at Space Hooters to repay that debt. The rest of the episode is just Leela girlbossing her way through space, trying to figure out what happened to them, and then coming to their rescue.

This is exactly why no one should hire me as a writer on anything.

#futurama #fry #leela #bender #freeler #this is just an excuse to talk about how much i want catgirl bender and bunnygirl fry #i think that futurama needs more episodes where fry and bender are damsels #and leela has to save them #like the war episode #i also want official merch of catgirl bender and bunnygirl fry #but some things aren’t meant to be 😔

I’ve avoided spoilers like the plague so I know nothing about the general opinions of War Room 2 but HECK I really liked that first episode

Reaction highlights (pretty much all my reactions whoops):

#after the crap we got in Time War they really were like “okay we need to actually write good stories this time” #like okay. It still feels different from Gallifrey Gallifrey without Romana #But MAN this is actually enjoyable again #the stories are small and they’re all about the characters but the main characters are still very important #Also I LOVE the dynamic of Leela and Narvin meeting in secret to conspire against Gallifrey #ALSO ALL THE TALK ABOUT ROMANA!!! #All the different character dynamics!!! #All the subterfuge and lying and betrayal dang guys it’s Gallifrey #Big finish #Big finish gallifrey #gallifrey #war room 2 spoilers #war room 2 #Gallifrey spoilers

I love gallifrey and don’t think it could really work outside of an audio medium, but man do I wish we got to see how brax and narvin talk, how they move around their environment

#it might just be the autism but I like getting to see how people talk and move around #like what expressions do they make what gestures do they use #how do they walk what do they do with their hands when they’re just standing there #we get to see it in the show for romana and leela but not for brax and narvin #and I wish we got to know #doctor who #gallifrey #gallifrey audios #irving braxiatel #braxiatel #narvin

Gangubai Kathiawadi is finally available on Netflix worldwide, I have been waiting an eternity!

I just finished watching it, and gods, I still have a tear making its way down my cheek.

Alia Bhatt definitely deserves all the praise she received. What a powerful, fantastic performance she gave! The kind of which you don't see everyday. In this Sanjay sir is truly a phenomenal director. I've seen Alia in a few movies, from her debut in Student of the Year to her masterpiece in Raazi, and she was already great, but as Gangu, she really shows all that she's got, and man, she's got A Lot.

Gangu is a powerhouse! The themes developed in the story are powerful and timeless. That woman, she really got me feeling everything with her.

And it is a Bhansali production and direction. Absolutely stunning sets, costumes, and the songs are bops.

What an experience, SLB films never disappoint (except for Padmaavat).

#gangubai kathiawadi #alia bhatt #sanjay leela bhansali #gangubai #bollywood #bollywood movie #netflix #badass women #feminist icon #yes she is #what a movie oh what a movie! #rapha talks #rapha watches movies

How do you feel about the apparent retcon after Leela's parents were introduced where they said that Turanga was the family name whereas before it was implied to be Leela's first name?

i don't think it's necessarily a retcon. i think she and her parents just have a surname-first naming convention, like they do in some eastern countries.

i'm not sure how they would have picked up on that at the orphanarium, but she could've just gone by "leela" cuz it was easier to pronounce than "turanga" and it coincidentally worked out as being her surname anyway.

honestly nobody calls her just "turanga" anyway, not even before her parents' reveal IIRC, but also almost nobody outside of fry's family calls him "philip" consistently either so lol

Leela is a big part of advaita vedanta, or nondualism. Knowing that all is Divine, why does evil exist? Why are we separate? Why do we reincarnate? The truth of leela, or divine play, answers this.

The Divine wishes to experience things and so begins the creation of the universe from itself. The Divine wishes to immerse itself into these experiences so come forgetfulness. Each Jiva, or personal soul is an atman, a spark of the Divine.

We accumulate karma through our actions: good, bad, neutral, or mixed. There's personal karma, collective karma, karma of countries, karma of earth itself. Karma like gravity just happens, it is not a punishment system but a natural consequence of action. Karma dictates our next birth and details about our current life but sometimes things just happen anyway outside of karma.

Back to the leela, as the Divine experiences life from many perspectives and events eventually there's a yearning to return to Brahman, the Source. When you're done playing you want to come back home. By achieving moksha, liberation, you're now a drop of water back into the ocean. Achieving Moksha is another topic altogether.

Much like our entertainment media, a story with no conflict or risk would be bland. So it is with the Divine play. In one life we may be the antagonist, in another the protagonist. We suffer, we rejoice, we long for things or people, we reject certain experiences. This is all part of the leela. When we're done, we search for the Divine and seek to come home.

Life and its experiences are the plot of the story and we are the characters. Truly we are the author just playing as many pieces. Like seeing a snake in the dark we are scared but when the light is on we see it was only a rope and we laugh. This is Maya, the illusion, part of the Divine play.

I like to remind myself to surrender to Shiva and enjoy the Leela. When all is done the universe will end and eventually begin again. Cyclical in nature, a dizzying dance like a kaleidoscope. But all is play, all is truly love.
