i love how donna responds to the doctor's anger!! rose and martha both absolutely held their own against him, but he had to reach a certain level of genuine bullshittery before either of them stepped in and went "hey maybe stop." the doctor will explain a basic time travel principle to donna and she will go "well i don't like it and i diagnose YOU as the problem." has he been around for 900 years? yes. is it technically his box? yes. does she care? not even a little bit

#celia watches dw #this is so cathartic after the martha season #like she really isn't cowed by his anger or his disappointment!!!#she's just like: you're being a little bitch and i'm right.#best friend culture #ten and donna

It’s always struck me as weird that NPMD ends with homecoming and not prom, because as a non-American, isn’t prom the quintessential American high school end trope thing??

Because of this I looked up what the actual difference is and holy shit homecoming takes place at the end of the first semester of the school year????? (Correction: turns out it’s actually around September/October which is roughly the end of the FIRST TERM)

So you’re telling me that not only do Steph, Grace and Pete have to process their trauma but also deal with SCHOOL????? FOR ANOTHER HALF A YEAR??????? AS HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS?????

#at that point I’d be grateful grace ended the world #Pete has to survive school without his two best (and possibly only) friends #steph goes from mayor’s daughter to orphan #grace probably doubles down on her purity culture craziness but like to the point where she neglects school somewhat #I can’t imagine living through the events of a slasher film then having to do an odd 6 months of school #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #npmd spoilers #nerdy prudes must die spoilers #starkid #team starkid #hatchetfield #hatchetverse #lark rambles #rip I noticed all the paragraphs in this post started with ‘so’#edited it slightly so I wouldn’t have to deal with that

Snow Day

SO IT TURNS OUT @tourettesdog also had a far-frozen based Phic Phight prompt so here's a sister fic of Snowdrift Sanctuary from yesterday okay please and thank you

Tundra peeked around the pillar of ice. Again.

The human was still there.

…Tundra peeked left. Tundra peeked right. No one else had seen them yet.

The human, in a big coat and big boots was squatting in the snow, drawing shapes Tundra couldn’t make out with their finger.

Tundra’s tail wagged. Well. He didn’t have a very long tail, so he mostly butt-wiggled. There’d never been a human at the Far Frozen before!! Tundra had heard of humans — he’d seen depictions and heard stories, sure. But now a human was here. And they lived here.

That was so cool.

So, maybe Tundra wanted to say hi! So what? Mama had said that he should be nice to the human, since they needed help and shelter that the Chief would provide, but they were also new and interesting and they hardly ever had anyone stay with them who wasn’t a yeti ever!! Maybe they’d let Tundra play with them while they were here?

So Tundra got down on his haunches. He crawled over the snowbank, wriggling as he went, taking advantage of his coat that blended into the terrain.

The human didn’t see him at all.

Tundra bared his teeth in a play grin, eyes squinting, tongue caught between his teeth. The human was so close. He crouched down as far as he could. He waited until the human wasn’t looking.

Tundra pounced.

And then there was a flash of green burning through the air, hot and bright and loud. Tundra startled.

He landed in the snow, dazed and off-balance. He could feel a hot spot in his fur—putting his paw to it, Tundra could feel where his fur was burnt to singed ends, the tips of each hair bulbous with char.

There was a steaming hole in the snow behind him.

…Oh.

“HOLY SH—are you okay?? Did I hurt you?? I’m sorry!!” someone shouted. Someone gently turned Tundra’s head, careful not to move him too harshly or too quickly. “Is your head okay? Are you bleeding? Is—“

“…Cool.” Tundra muttered, eyes still stuck to the hole in the snow. That was so strong. Even Avalanche wasn’t that strong, and she beat everyone in the tournament last season. No wonder the chief was in charge of the human ghost, even if there were lots of adults willing to help.

“Sorry, I’m so sorry,” the human apologized again, hands on their flat, pink face. Huh. Their hair was white now. When did that happen? “Usually when ghosts sneak up on me, they’re, uh… they’re not usually playing.”

Tundra looked at the human’s flat face and frowned. They got attacked? For real, and not for playing? “That’s mean. I hope you got them.”

The human made a strangled noise. Super weird! “Yeah…yeah. I did.”

“Good,” Tundra decided, back straightening straight up. The human was about as tall as he was, but humans were smaller in general. They were probably older. “If anyone attacks you now, you should get the Chief to eat them, and then they won’t attack you anymore.”

The human made another choked noise. Tundra assumed it was a laugh. He grinned back, pleased with the response, and wriggled back upright. “I’m Tundra! Mama says that you’re older than me even though we’re just as tall as each other! Are you a boy human, or a girl human? Or neither? Or both?!”

“…I’m a boy,” the human said, voice weak. Tundra peered in close at him, trying to see if he’d been injured too, but no; he looked fine, and he got his black hair back too.

“Cool,” said Tunda. “So am I. Arctic is too, but he’s big already, so he doesn’t want to play all the time. Do you like hunting?”

“I’ve…never hunted before.”

Not ever? Tundra gasped. “We can play chase, then, and then the chief can teach you how to hunt! And then we can hunt together!” Tundra scrambled to his feet, excited. “Do you want to stalk Avalanche with me?! She always throws me off, and then we can wrestle!”

The human hesitated.

“Or,” Tundra amended, because the human was still kind of small, “You can watch me stalk Avalanche, and watch us wrestle, and then I can teach you to stalk the chief so that you can wrestle with someone you know is safe.”

The human snorted, the fur cuff from his sleeve hiding his face. “I don’t know…isn’t he busy? You know, being the chief and all…””

“You’re supposed to wrestle your parents,” Tundra assured him, chest fur puffing up with pride. “I used to chew on Mama’s ears all the time when I was a cub. Now Avalanche and Arctic and everyone else can wrestle with me because they’re big enough to know how to stop playing before they squash me flat.”

The human laughed, openly and brightly, and it sounded nice.

Tundra stood so that could he could launch himself back towards the settled part of their little patch of the Infinite Realms. “Come on!!” he shouted, more than eager to play. “Last one there doesn’t get any fish eyes!”

There was a moment of silence—and then they were both rolling in the snow, the human having decided to launch into him!! This was great!! Tundra whooped, feigning bites and wriggling while the human pushed him further into the depths of the snow. The human’s grin was kind of wide and weird without a muzzle, but that wasn’t his fault, and he was having fun!! And so was Tundra!!

And the human-ghost could fly, and Tundra couldn’t, so chasing after him was super fun. They made it all the way back to the settlement in no time flat, dodging other kith and kin—

And running into Mama and Chief Advisor Pritla on accident was worth how much trouble he got into later.

Whoops!

Due to that post I made re: why it's hard for aros/aces to imagine a future for themselves because society tells you a romantic partner will always take priority, a lot of people (aros/aces and allos alike) are sharing stories about how they have been discarded by their close friends and it's breaking my heart. But allos and aspecs coming in and sharing how they have the same amount of love for their partners and their best friends/siblings is healing it.

Still, there are people in the tags saying that aros/aces can "never offer their partners the kind of intimacy they need" and so they shouldn't be "surprised" when they feel closer to partners than their friends. You guys are missing the point.

The point is that we should NOT be ranking our relationships. People aren't there to be ranked on a scale of "This person is my number one and this person comes after that." The point is that you need multiple people in your life. One person cannot - and should not - be responsible for giving you everything you need. Different people will give you different things that you need in life and you should value all of them.

The idea that a romantic partner will give you every single thing you need in life is a toxic idea in itself and puts undue pressure on said partner and the relationship as a whole. A best friend won't give you everything either. You NEED multiple people in your life and they will all give you a part of what you need, but there is no one perfect person out there who perfectly gives you exactly what you want. We need multiple people and they should all be valued by you. Love is not limited.

#aro stuff #ace stuff #aroace tag #aro #ace #aromanticism #asexuality #aromantic #asexual #aroace #This idea that a romantic partner comes before everything and everyone else is a very Western idea too #I'm grateful that I live in a culture where family and community are important parts of life.#I'm lucky that my best friend considers me as important as her husband #i'm lucky that I'm close to my family and have unconditional love from them #why do I have to rank the relationships in my life #a mother with two kids can love and prioritise them equally #as my own mother does #why is it impossible for some of you to imagine doing that with other relationships in your life?#(i wrote this when I was sleepy and wrote unrequited love instead of unconditional love i'm so dumb lol #i do return my family's love)

whats the point of being a baby/teenage costumed superhero if u?? cant have fun on one day when wearing costumes?? is a requirment????

also extra barry&hal, before i realized that barry is canonically pouty when his sidekick is stolen by green lantern lol

#wally west #kid flash #dick grayson #robin #dick & wally #dc #you cant argue with me that circus brat dick grayson who most likely observed many cultures would not take wally his new shiny best friend #on an offer of having fun during halloween?? with colorful costumes and candy and a lot of anonimity to be whoever you want???#all of their outfits are also perfectly functional so they could just drop everything and dive into action if need arise #imagine a tiny superman fighting like batman/robin and a baby green lantern running faster than a blink #alfred and iris helped make the costumes. batman was very against it but he was worn down by double puppy eyes and is secretly finding it #adorable while barry is finding it adorable very loudly

if I start thinking about james and michelles relationship for too long I start foaming at the mouth and going fucking insane

#bean #something about the fact that they are two people separated by culture and distance suddenly forced together #can you imagine? losing your brother and then only a little bit later being told youre stuck with your cousin #someone raised in everything you hate. you want to see your brother again but instead you get this english bastard #and then to become so attached that you are willing to throw your best friend to the side for him #the terror of losing him to his own mother. she doesnt love him like you do.#INSANITY #derry girls

for the dancing and the dreaming except its falin and marcille

#(since the toudens are implied to be of nordic culture #makes sense for falin to know a viking song or two)#farcille #marcille donato #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #falin touden #The song is now stuck in my head #I love this song so much though #It's that good kind of cheese #Imagine little falin teaching marcille the song in their academy days #And where falin comes back from her journeys and having grown herself more independent and self assured #And marcille having confronted her own messy feelings about her denial of her best friend's mortality #Falin breaks out the song #And marcille picks it up and follows along #Them dancing would be fun too

First official post of Enzi!

She attends a magic school located in the sunset savanna, and she’s apart of their fencing team.

adopted when she was 4, Ruggie found her on the street quite literally fighting a dog for food. He scooped her up and took her home that day, and she’s been his daughter ever since, trying to give her a better childhood than he had.

don’t let her cleaned up appearance fool you though. She’s a bastard (aff.), she just acts right for her girlfriend.

This is them at the dinner they hosted to let their parents meet each other (and so they could meet the others parents as well) (also is about… 11~ish months ahead of the current timeline)

I think Midsommar is now one of my favourite horror movies, especially because I spent half the movie either relating to or criticising the anthopologist characters.

I was like, "Oh! Ritual gerontocide! That's interesting, write about it in your field diaries. He is writing about it in his field diary! Great", "You rat", "You can both study the community without fucking each other over, don't be childish", "You peed where?! Did you get your degree in a raffle????", "DON'T DO THAT, YOU WILL LOSE THE ELDERS' TRUST AND DESTROY YOU INVESTIGATION... Oh, he got killed. Not surprised.", "Oh no. He asked about incest taboos... He is not leaving that conversation for the rest of the day. I mean, it's a good question, it's one of the most important questions. But he is going to spend hours there", "The symbolism here is amazing", "Keeping a ritual alive with such a long in between period is HARD cultural work".

I had so much fun. I love it.

Ironic that you talk about "no reading comprehension" when you think "taking a break" means "not paying attention".

As if activists don't actively advocate for making sure you have time that has nothing to do with your cause so that you don't burn out and become useless to it.

(Also I'm 99 percent sure the "white" people they're referring to here is a large jewish blogger who said that blogging isn't activism and it's okay to step away temporarily when it gets to be too much.)

Also like... before people are like "Palestinians don't get a break" yeah and I didn't get a break from suicidal depression that nearly killed me for like five years of my life but everyone that was supporting me DID need to take breaks or they would all have broken too and then where would we be? Like yeah actually people outside the situation fighting for change NEED to do so in shifts.

I know the comparison is not the same but I picked it specifically because yeah the longer this goes on the more likely more people will die. And the longer I dealt with my mental illness the more times I almost died. It's just like... come on.

"If you think it's okay to step away from social media and take a breather when you're overwhelmed and you're fighting back against the culture that says you're a morally evil person for ever putting your own mask on first rather than just helplessly doomscrolling in a way that does NOTHING for the actual victims then what you're actually saying is that it's okay not to pay attention or care."

Like bitch how little object permanence do you have that if you take a break from i/p news you have no awareness that a genocide is being committed anymore??? It's literally not even looking away it's just not uselessly steeping in guilt soup so that maybe you can use what energy you DO have to volunteer for or earn money to donate to orgs actually helping on the ground.

Like sorry we're all not performing white guilt and prostrating ourselves to your standards because we're actually bothering to do something about it and realizing social media has limited efficacy even at the one thing it CAN do which is raising awareness. We're aware. Great. Do you know there's steps that come after that?

"The one thing Palestinians are asking for" is not for people to wring their hands as they watch a genocide occur, I promise you. It's not for you to make blog posts about how sad and terrible this is and how bad you feel OR how 'it's really not about our feelings, thoughts and prayers'.

You can whine about my poor reading comprehension because 'nowhere did you say not to actually help' but you DID say the "ONE thing" palestinians actually want is for people "not to look away" and I'm pretty sure they want people to help STOP the genocide that's occurring. And also that "taking a break" is the same as "not paying attention" and like, are you guilty of "not paying attention" for at least eight hours every day or do you just not sleep? Because we all take breaks, shithead.

But you go on feeling morally superior about how you make sure to feel bad for the cause or whatever.

#also like #think about who is actually most likely to not have as much energy to deal with constant human rights violations #is it actually abled cishet white christian/culturally christian atheist people?#or is it perhaps other people also having their rights violated and even in some cases facing an active genocide #and you're just calling them white bc you know that's the most effective way of shutting down the conversation #like idk my disabled friend who is still working and getting sicker and has nearly been homeless three times this year #is not gonna be able to do much here even though they are white #but how many nonwhite people saying the same thing are you erasing here #also like. you realize that 'whiteness' itself is subjective right?#being in an ethnic minority can make your relationship with 'whiteness' tenuous at best #anyway #needs ID #cw discourse
