not negating that chris eccleston had a bad time on dw and rightfully wouldn't want to work with that team again for his own sake (minus billie i assume), but i have reservations about people in fandom jumping on the "yeah rtd is a dick who's incredibly hated in television actually, it's just a big secret," train when i have never heard anything to that effect outside of this working relationship that ended poorly and that as far as im aware rtd has never spoken about, so it's still a relatively private affair (of which we know a scant few details/that rtd didn't stick up for eccleston when he needed that support). i mean, he might be the worst guy ever, i've never worked with him, but i don't think the people saying this have either, and i think it's way too easy for people to assume the worst and go looking for confirmation bias, because it can justify their own dislike of rtd as a showrunner or his return as pure "nostalgia baiting" (that's another post). but yeah, if i see one more person go "oh i just have a feeling he's probably an asshole actually and the fact that we know that eccleston doesn't like him (as if that's new news) confirms that" as a roundabout way of going actually his era of the show wasn't that good or that him coming back to the show is a mistake, im simply not taking that seriously. just say you don't like the writing or whatever, don't make up a guy to personally dislike. there'll be another showrunner after him.

All right, after a lot of consideration and deep thoughts, i have my verdict on why Laudna behaves like this around Ira:
Because Marisha is having fun.
She’s having fun, Laura also giggles a lot when it happens. The whole creepyxcreepy aesthetic is fun, and i think... well, that’s about it.
“BUT she SAID something different an episode ago, and NOW she’s--”
Look, i love em to death, but after every episode, they forget about 70% of what happens and what they say. There are certain important core elements that they keep, and the rest of it is just vibes and blowing off steam from a heavy, busy week.
If i’m proven wrong, well, laugh at me, but at the end of the day, i’m pretty sure she’s just being unhinged and random, she’s just vibing and playing with her haunted doll and well... that’s valid. Not everything has to be a deep examination of human nature, or pillars of character creation that is going to pay off in a perfectly-exciting way in the future.
Sometimes a character does thing because its fun... and that’s it!

I might have finished my search for the perfect Bob flannel 🧍♀️ I actually found a company that makes shirts based off of the ones he and Doug wear so the pattern is perfect but WHY IS IT A POLYESTER BLEND
IN WHAT WORLD is a flannel made of polyester you MONSTERS... so I THINK I'm gonna buy this vintage one from Etsy instead
cause the pattern is like PERFECT, it has red buttons just like his whereas the replica has black ones, it's half the price, it's all cotton, and if I thrift one then it'll feel more worn in and like I stole it from him 🥰🤭 and they have another blouse in their shop that I like a lot

Coming to terms with the fact that you will never have a relationship (platonic or romantic) where you both are eachothers first choice for things is devastating. I was born into a world without my consent and I've lived my life at the back of the line, hearing countless stories about someone like me finding "the one" and finally feeling whole, finally being chosen and valued, and it sounds so. Fucking. Nice.
And then I realize that there's sex tied to that. Something I don't want. And I realize that I will never be enough. That in order to have that I have to give away a part of me. And that even if I don't ill always feel lesser for it. No matter what I choose I'll always feel lesser.
And then I realize I don't even really want a relationship at all. I just want to be loved. I want to be wanted. Not in a romantic or sexual way but just in a ME way. I want to be a wanted presence. I want someone to want me around just because I'm me and I want them to want me around more than they do most people. And I know that's selfish and stupid and whatever the fuck you wanna call it but I've never been wanted in my life. And I want, for once, to have a seat saved at the table, next to someone who loves me as I am and who wants me to be there with them for as long as I can. Just like I do for them.
And I know it's like "oh Milo you can get a QPR!" Okay. No. I can't. I've only met 2 people in my life that have made me genuinely want to spend forever with them and I know for a fact neither of them would choose me first if it came to it. One because she has her boyfriend, who she says is the closest bond she has. And the other because he's genuinely way to fucking cool and has a lot of really good close friends who he would (and should) choose over me in a heartbeat. And it's fine! Like I get it, and I would never say that they can't or shouldn't choose someone else over me, it just hurts. It hurts that I'll never get what so many people get. That I'll never feel what so many people feel. It's devastating knowing that I can never love myself and that no one else is going to either. Idk. It just fucking sucks.
On another shitty note: got the results back from my mental health screen and they said that they couldn't diagnose me cuz they thought I was exaggerating my problems, and so therefore did not believe my answers to any of the questions were valid. Fucking sick, can't believe I failed an unfailable test. I'm killing it. Or I guess I'm killing something anyway. Hahahaha.

so after the prof cancelling like 8 classes in old english, losing quizzes and assignments and grades, never making expectations clear, barely explaining what he was teaching, etc, we didn't complete all of the things on the syllabus and i don't think i can. calculate my grade going into the exam?
there's supposed to have been 9 quizzes with the lowest mark of that 9 dropped; at my best count there was 6 and i have no idea if we can still expect that lowest drop
there was supposed to be two tests and no exam, but i suppose the exam is the second test bc having an exam was his plan from the start and the dept wouldn't allow it so he's doing it via loophole + we did do one test already
we completed 2 translations as expected but i won't have the second one returned before the final exam is due, so no idea how i did on that since i felt ok abt the first one and only got a 50
i also don't have my essay back, which was like 20% and the only thing i've felt confident abt all semester
multiple quizzes and assignments were returned with random numbers on them with no indication of what they were out of (i was given a quiz back with "12" written on the top? 12 out of what? 12%?)
can't find half of the quizzes- i don't think i even have them. i have 1, 3 and 6. we were emailed some of the marks, so they might be in my inbox somewhere? but i don't have the physical quizzes and can't use them to review or like. learn from them
also the prof is out of province rn i think. this is the third time this semester. so i can't meet w him to check up on this
like i need a 65 average in every course to stay in honours, if this course fucked it all up for me i'll lose it i really will. i THINK i'm over that but i have no fucking clue. and not to catastrophize but if i don't get a 65 i can't do my essay next semester and everything is completely set up for me to go do that already, and ofc then i won't graduate in spring and won't get the degree i worked my ass off and paid a fucking exorbitant amt of money for that i am almost finished. i hate this fucking school man
