13 is an utter awful rat to Graham in It Takes You Away, she treats him horrifically as she loses her patience and therefore temper with him and never bothers to apologise for it, but nobody notices because she didn't raise her voice and it wasn't in a situation where she'd be expected to mother him, so it sailed over peoples heads. She lost her temper and she got Mean. She didn't get shouty, she got mean. She's not a yeller when she lets her anger loose, she's sharp and cruel and so very deliberate. And that doesn't track with peoples stereotypes of women, does it? Women are shouty and Shrill when they're angry, apparently.
She does it to the master in the timeless children, she's sharp and mean and cruel and never once raises her voice when she does it (she actually lowers her voice when she's being really mean btw). This did Not happen when you're thinking it did. Not in the matrix room. She had no idea she was scoring a hit against him there because she didn't understand what he was thinking (because he'd deliberately mislead her). It was in another part of the episode. She scores a hit and almost makes him cry and nobody cares or notices because it's not in a situation where she's supposed to be mothering him while he's all sad. He was being a jerk, she hit out deliberately below the belt and won that round, the end.
It's no that I think 13 isn't at times objectively shitty as a person, because she IS, she certainly was to Graham in the moment above. It's just that instead of looking at the Actual moments on screen when she sucks and dragging her for being shitty person, people have to resort to making up things to accuse her of that are Very gendered (as in, things women are going to get slammed for in society based upon sexist ideology) that never even happen, simply because they didn't pay enough attention to notice her being a crappy Person to drag her for that/they don't actually care if she's in general a lousy person at all.
Because they don't Want her to be a crappy person, that doesn't achieve anything.
They want her to be a crappy Woman.

cicadas are fun to eat if you are an animal , or a person, nom nom nom crunch crunch. They only come out every couple of decades though, so you’re gonna have to wait a long time before you can see them again. Gorge yourself until then. Decorate your windowsills with their shells, record their buzzing to listen to while you sleep. Don’t forget, you can’t forget. okay bye.

if it's any help, looking up "[laptop model] teardown" & even just taking the bottom cover can really help you get used to what it's like inside (plus in my experience unplugging and replugging things & compressed air fix sooo many problems)
see the problem here is that fucking with the software is just me having like a fun silly hacker time like an extra in a cyberpunk movie but fucking with the hardware is like brain surgery. i dont want her entrails exposed on my desk im not qualified for that

MK1!Tomas should pick better topic to talk about with original Bi-Han than the issue of dead father... both because Sub-Zero won't care and the Sub-Zero brothers backstory may hit too close to Tomas' own comfort.
Timeline mess AU:
MK1!Bi-Han meets cryomancer kid!Kuai Liang (+ one sad pyromancer adult Kuai Liang)
Kid MK1!Kuai Liang meets MK9!Smoke (+ one sad cryomancer adult Kuai Liang)
Old Lin Kuei meets the new Lin Kuei

Doctor Who "The Giggle" spoilers
It took 15 years but finally, finally, the awful pain inflicted by DW s4x13 "Journey's End" was healed in my fangirl heart. I'm not even saying that facetiously, my friends. Donna's ending in s4 hurt. The fact that here in the year 2023, Donna not only got her memory back, but she got the Doctor back? And the Doctor finally stopped running? And he found a home, found a family, and it's with Donna?
I can hardly believe it.
It took so very long but they got the happy ending they were denied back in 2008. I can't even tell you how happy I am right now. 🤗💖

Thats fucking it I'm getting a portable lock for my door. My mom has once again threatened to throw out something I bought with my own money and refuses to pay me back for something she already threw out without any warning.

My mom will really greet me like she didn’t spend 30 minutes humiliating and yelling at me on the phone for a mistake she made. Like? You cannot be serious. Don’t talk to me. Didn’t you just said I should’ve never been born. Like. I didn’t forget in the past 4 hours.

thinking about your glasses breaking, trying to guide yourself through the darkness of the 'Plex with just your phone screen and a flashlight. Squinting down at the screen hurriedly searching through the bleak, illuminated screen.
The chiming bells aren't getting any further away, looming tauntingly closer and if you don't find the other half of your glasses soon, you're screwed.
