Sometimes one must lie awake and think about Helena Bertinelli, who was taken in after her family was killed and taught to channel her fear into violence and a drive for revenge, versus Dick Grayson, who was taken in after his family was killed and taught to channel his anger into a drive for justice (also accomplished through violence, albeit a more mild version).
And sometimes one must think about the complicated relationships that each has with Batman and what that means in regards to their vigilantism. How both value his respect so highly and want to impress him, but at the same time don’t want to be like him and can’t be like him.
And sometimes one must think about how they both knew the pain of losing a brother, but chose to find one in Tim’s Robin anyways. Or how they both managed to juggle jobs and vigilante roles at the same time. Or how much compassion they can both show to those that need it.
But above all, one must think about how they used to be cool, like, 20 years ago.

Tenth Doctor as John Smith is so attractive to me (even though he's a pompous old man with a stick up his behind), but just the idea...Edwardian Ten...so human and so insecure and blabbering, dreaming about impossible things in his sleep...also, the whole Professor™ look doesn't help either. I bet that if Rose was there in Human Nature/Family of Blood, the whole two episodes would have been a romcom.
Sorry it's it's all jumbled, it's just that I experience a lot of emotions about John Smith and even more about John Smith and Rose Tyler (she would teach him manners, I'm sure).
Oh are you KIDDING ME???!!!
Look at this stupid, sexy jerk in his stupid, sexy outfits with his authoritativeness constantly at war with his tenderness and perhaps a bit of racism and callous disregard towards the predictable behaviors of children but still
LOOK AT HIM
I didn’t realize that loving these episodes was a bit taboo(???) until I decided to join the fandom after years as a Whovian but dear god, leaving the dodgy undertones out of it (which tbh I thought added depth and realism to the episodes and therefore makes me love them even more) the master class powerhouse acting by David Tennant alone is goddamn everything
Also - this is all completely disregarding the fact that these episodes are a shining golden beacon of why Martha is perhaps the most underrated badass of a companion. Love me some Martha Jones 😩💖💖💖 and love to hate to love me some John Smith

I have thoughts about a network tv show from 5 years ago (Blindspot s3)! And those thoughts are these: so, Roman is lying to Blake about… um, everything, but she doesn’t know that, so isn’t her response to his PTSD reveal a bit, um… awful?

From what I’m hearing about this week’s episode, I’m starting to wish that this show was called Becoming Mary so that at least we didn’t have to see or hear about anything Thomas was doing and it could be more ambiguous.
