Ohiwe (lady) and Ohime (man) aka the fire deity after they get punished.
Originally just "Oh", the fire deity had a bit too much fun with punishing humans and so in a means to stop them, the elder gods split them into two. So now they have to be together in order to have their "full" power but as before the split, they get restless and like to wander. So while one stays in their city, the other gets to go out and travel and see the world and check on the other deities.
Also, as a whole/singular being Oh would use they/them. After the split however, it's definitely not the same and so Ohiwe likes using female pronouns and Ohime uses male pronouns. That way when discussed as one, it's back to they. That feels best for them.

I mean, yes, there's a lot of nostalgia to the 60th anniversary, but I think people will conflate that with "automatically a bit shit" because a lot of nostalgia Stuff isn't that great after a glut of lazy nostalgia-based media over the last x amount of time, but that assumes that it was bad because of it being nostalgic, and not because it was irony-poisoned, self-conscious, and unwilling to interact with the changing times and therefore a poor copy of the said thing it was being nostalgic about, rather than continuing a story. the familiar phrase by now of "all nostalgia, no sincerity"
when I'm not a fan of what one might call "nostalgia"-stories, it's not because referring to the past is automatically bad writing, it's because the writing is stale and really often it's because it reveals that whoever made the new thing definitely didn't get the same out of the classic thing that I did, and at the same time is patting themself on the back for idk. something. doing the same thing again, only this time around worse (often it's that surface level interaction with tropes, rather than themes that outs them -- and yeah, that's in the trailer, but specifically the trailer is giving very little away, so knowing they're hooking people in with a bit of allons-y or the slap or donna being sassy, while keeping the things I'm really excited about a bit more mysterious, I mean... that just makes sense?? Yeah, I recognise the callbacks, but the really important things aren't being revealed yet, like the inverse of terrible movies that show all their biggest set-pieces in the trailer, because that's all they have to offer)
and I don't see people pre-judging the potential 60th on those criteria, just on the word "nostalgia." I mean, obviously we can say this might be bad, but it's sort of a nothing-statement, and it seems kind of unfair to say that rtd would do this, when he's not done that before, specifically on a show that is super nostalgic to begin with (that is, the longest-running scifi show of all time), of which rtd was a massive fucking nerd
I assume because it's three specials with dtennant and catherine tate, but also yeah, why the hell not be nostalgic both about classic!who and the series that you created that rebooted the show (the answer is "because ten isn't the only doctor that matters," and personally, again, rtd being a massive fucking nerd, feels a bit like putting words in the man's mouth that he's never said, specifically about a show that he's super nerdy about)
feels like people are putting the stance out there that they're ready to hate it and then they can always go, "oh it was surprisingly good, actually," in case it is good, rather than be just excited going in and risk disappointment, but it's a bit boring to be honest
tempering excitement is all well and good, until it makes you the irony-poisoned one, where all nostalgia is kind of stupid really, you don't even care that much, and you know this is going to be shit, and actually looking back rtd was never good if you think about it, and ten is overrated, and david tennant isn't even a good actor actually, and catherine tate was just a shitty comedian, and you've preemptively decided to refuse to enjoy yourself
it's an anniversary, that's when the nostalgia comes out, and has done since the 10th anniversary in (checks notes) 1972!

so during the leaders cross talk with hayama-san and hirono-san, they played a jeopardy-esque game where they answered various trivia for points, and whoever got the most points won
at some point, they had to answer ‘what are kuukou’s robes called??’ and by circumstance, hirono-san happened to know the answer actually lol. hayama-san didn’t tho lol and after eking out a hint from hirono-san (‘we’re family right??? 🥺🥺🥺’) hayama-san guessed it was a tank top and hirono-san answered it’s called a samue. turns out they were both wrong LOL and hirono-san got humbled so quick esp when hayama-san roasted him for making him answer wrong on top of being loudly incorrect lol so hayama-san can be a bit of a sore loser lmao
if you can, pls tune into abema’s round one collab where hayama-san might be competing against fellow hypmic friends and root for him he doesn’t like to lose lmao

thinking about gemma and her relationship with her stupid little crystal ball (and in turn, leon.)
(image id: a screenshot of the Grater Boston transcript. it reads:
Gemma: The voice was Leon Stamatis. Michael told me all about it. His spirit is trapped inside the ball.
Freed: You mean — you believe me? You believe that this is happening to your ball?
Gemma: You know what’s funny? I do. I really do. The ball always had this weird…comforting effect on me. Ever since I was looking for a new editor….and ….and it landed on Leon’s resume… But I thought you told me the ball was just a piece of trash?
end image id.)
like she used to hate that thing. HATE IT. but once leon began to inhabit it she entirely spun around on it. it brought her comfort and showed her images of a happy life, and hopeful future. it would show her a picture of her and her wife and her baby and tell her “see, look. everything’s going to be okay, gemma.” she’s been scrambling to get it back since the end of season 1.
she says in the trailer for the new episode that’s it’s warm to the touch (which might just be a normal side effect but) looking into her reflection in it helped her see herself clearly again for the first time in years and. that was leon. leon did that. leon literally never talks about it but it seems that, like, he was the one who was doing that the whole time. oh my god.
(image id: an image of the “x is something that can actually be so personal” meme, edited to say “the relationship between an amateur spirit medium and the spirit she unknowingly summoned who supports her wholeheartedly even though she didn’t even know he was there is something that can actually be so personal,
end image id.)

shrimp is thee definition of velcro dog except she’s a cat. atm she’s sleeping on the couch ottoman with her ass pressed against my legs (as she always does when i’m here) but any time i move she follows; if i’m in the kitchen, i can expect to see her sleepy lil face as she plods after me; in the bathroom she’s always there, very insistent on being pet & played with (toilet paper is her favorite, especially while it’s being taken off the roll); at night when i’m in bed she purrs the loudest and paws/swats at me to pet her until either she’s satisfied or i totally cover every part of me with a blanket so no skin shows and she relents; if i’m on the porch (especially with buko) she sits at the door and meows as loudly as she can (although she doesn’t really want to be outside); when she’s going silly around the house and meowing if i ‘respond’ back (read: make the same noise as her very specific playful rrrow-Rahr meow) she will come bounding over. i know cats don’t understand love the same way we do but i know with my whole heart she cares so deeply for me in her own shrimpy way

ok so how are we…
If this is about the new Taylor album...
The feelings are complex and they are not good. I don't want to upset anyone though because I know that a lot of people are enjoying the album and I love that for them!
I will just say I was personally really disappointed by it, and I was going into listening to it thinking this was going to rekindle my love for her, instead it was kind of the opposite. I've been a fan of hers since the debut album, but started to distance myself when all the really intense craziness happened last year. I was so excited to be blown away by the album and just... wasn't which then led to this whole identity crisis because liking Taylor was always "my thing" the number of texts I got today from people I don't talk to regularly or haven't talked to in a while was actually insane, everyone was like "are you so excited!!" and "don't you love it!!" while my close friends were like "I'm sorry." I feel so dramatic and parasocial saying that though.
I saw a review on Stereogum that I think did a good job putting a lot of the same thoughts I had into more concise words. Maybe it will grow on me, but every time I try to do another listen I end up skipping to the next song halfway through.
Sorry for bringing the mood down! I hope you're doing well and had a great Friday! I appreciate you checking in and hope you have a lovely weekend!
❤️Ally
