I wish that people wouldn’t lump all of “Classic Who” together (I get it, I even do myself in tags and probably still will tbh) just because I feel like reducing Doctor Who to the pre/post hiatus binary (and the Movie I guess) is kind of… reductive?
Sylvester McCoy Who is closer to Christopher Eccleston Who than it is to William Hartnell Who in the tone and writing for example
And it makes old Doctor Who seem more overwhelming than if we separated it out by Doctors (where the most is seven seasons)
And we’re getting to the point where “New” Who is now almost 20 years old (Millie Gibson grew up on MATT SMITH!) so this previous distinction feels even more arbitrary than it did in 2005

Tbh i would probably be more into hp slash fiction if instead of the 7 billions variations of Marauder x Marauder coffeeshop AU we had concepts like, "what if Borgin and Burkes were married and had beef with all their neighbours"

tbqh though it seems popular thought has already turned against it i still think the mystery disappearing newsletter valentine is gaster even though the speech patterns don't quite line up with prior information just because everything surrounding it is so extremely gaster that i struggle to imagine that they'd be like "Oh here's a new second character that just also has the exact same type of things going on but speaks slightly differently so it's a new one"...that just seems kind of arbitrary. Also it is not Papyrus. Don't be silly.

making my own post bc the last thing i rb'd is much more focused on qpoc in white spaces and the thing i wanna talk abt strays from it. but being filipino feels so damn lonely
we're desperate to be similar to our colonizers without admitting to it, wanting to be up to western standards all the time because it's the only thing we know of quality, and we have to heavily polish our english to become more professional (because knowing only tagalog and/or your native language makes you look uneducated, stupid or too casual)
when bigots here claim queerness is a "foreign concept" from the west they immediately turn around and trample on their own culture to live off of foreign-quality products we can't live without anymore
having so much of american culture tied into our very lives to the point where it almost feels like people are echoing white sentiments when it comes to queerness.. sometimes even i feel weird about how it feels. because a long time ago our indigenous roots had reveled concepts similar to queerness.. and now that we've pretty much almost lost that completely we have to fight for queerness in spaces crafted to match western standards. as if i dont even know what it means to be a filipino queer because i have to structure it so much based on american queerness
we just. copied so many of american society's problems when we chose to structure our lives around how great we found it. and god i just feel like a puppet that needs to mirror white queerness while some of my peers mirror white bigotry or indifference. i dont know. i want to love what i am but sometimes that? and all the challenges i face because it's hated? feels like something we had to borrow. all of it

I love second hand book shops, I got to them frequently and always leave with Something and have a good time just peakin around
But i gotta say
It's one of the Worst spots for me in terms of imposter syndrome
I feel like everyone's uneasey with my presence as though i'm a stranger who just stumbled into their inner sanctum and they're.. they're gunna let me stay but they're gunna be weirded out the whole time and breath a sigh of relief when the Strange Unwelcome Freak Leaves
It also happens at record shops and sometimes at small antique shops or cons+festivals
Just this immediate foreboding of being Angrily Tolerated in a Space I Don't Belong

meet Potiphar Patrobas, my Spiderverse OC!! Not exactly my sona, since they look close to nothing like me and also act nothing like me, but i will definitely put spidersona in the tags because i am misleading :)
anyway their powers would probably be something having to do with his eyes (of which they have 4) and the paralyzing effect that spider venom has. I think that the bandana they wear around their eyes in the second image would act as his "on/off" switch, like if he takes it off, anyone they look at is paralyzed temporarily, depending on how long they were looked at. They wear his bandana unless directly attacked, and to take it off quickly they use the spider legs attached to the back of their head to take it off.
i am now too tired to explain the rest so expext more posts with my friend's oc too
