Seeing several people GENUINELY think that Raeda and Huntlow aren’t canon PURELY because neither of them kissed like Luz and Amity did is REALLY SHOWING that people’s media analysis skills are getting worse 😐

#toh spoilers #toh #raeda #huntlow #LEMME CLARIFY THAT QPR RAEDA AND HUNTLOW TRUTHERS ARE VERY VALID!!! I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT Y'ALL!! #also as if Willow and Hunter didn't get the SMOOTH ASS ANIMATION that they use for badass and romantic scenes #and as if Eda didn't give Raine a few pecks on their cheek!! #and both of them were put RIGHT NEXT to Luz and Amity #also they're both good examples of ships that you can feel their care and love for each other WITHOUT a smooch #I LOVE Luz and Amity and all their kisses but I have a soft spot for these two <3 (can you tell I'm aspec??) #fandom salt

VERY RAMBLY BUT I think rose and martha are like the inverse of one another in terms of narrative, in that they both meet a doctor who is deeply deeply hurt, but the doctor interacts with them about it so differently, because of where they're at with that hurt, and the doctor is like "hey, I'm suave and vulnerable beneath the surface, which is quite attractive, want to travel in space and time in my whimsical timeship?" and they both go "oh heck yes!" and then it's like splintered glass from that point on, like martha lives in a funhouse mirror of rose's story -- up until she makes it her own of course and she does call the doctor out on it relatively early on, although rose continues to have that haunting effect

so rose has this bubble created around her that is perfect and unchangeable almost, in which nothing bad can ever happen (except for all the times it does but huuush, we'll be together forever forrealsies don't look at that big ol hurricane hurtling our way), which then inevitably bursts, but is always there-as-memory, because rose becomes something of an impossible ideal to some extent

and martha isn't protected at all, and has all the badness spilling out on her because the doctor is unable to contain any of it (and maybe is relieved to finally give up on being strong), and subsequently all of the promise of wonder has an air of sourness to it, and the doctor will always feel incredibly guilty about how it all ended

but crucially there's a lot they have in common, that is quite different to, say, donna (who is woven in in her own, interesting, way) -- they both become attracted to this powerful, interesting, and suuuper traumatised being, they're both taken along on a journey of promised wonders, they're both incredibly reliable to the point that the narrative is retroactively fitted around how much the doctor's belief-systems revolve around belief in their companions, with many others from the past given their dues (starting with sarah-jane), and they both do see wonders beyond their comprehension (and so does donna, but again, there's something a bit different there to poke at in another post...),

except where for rose this wonder helps her break out of the path that was set down for her and become who she always had the potential to be in a way that is mostly framed as a positive (although with some -- I think -- under-analysed caveats...) and she will be forever thankful for the doctor arriving in her life, martha's is more like an awe that the universe is so hostile and so lonely and so heartbreaking, and so she needs to become more resilient and more ready to make choices that are terrible (from travelling the broken world for a year to the osterhagen key....), and so there's another story about someone who becomes strong and tough (just like rose) but it's because the doctor wasn't really able to be there for her, and while I don't think the show (from memory) ever has her totally regretting the doctor dropping into her life, there for sure is some solemnity to how her story ends, a bit of a dampener in comparison (even tbh in comparison to donna, who yeah, gets her memory taken, but is suggested -- now confirmed perhaps? -- to get more of her life in order/feel more self-confident, also partially because of that subliminal influence of her time with the doctor)

and this isn't to say that it's all-bad for martha! her working for UNIT and Torchwood has a lot of very interesting facets to it, and she is fulfilling her potential to be this impressive, capable person, but the ways all of this was built up to is so heartrending

rose coming in and "saving" the doctor, except it was a bit of a lie, because the second she wasn't there they crashed even harder than before, and martha coming in with the idea that she could save the doctor and walking away when realising what it was doing to her life, and both rose and martha irrevocably changed to the point that the person pre-doctor is barely recognisable in them anymore, both take on the doctor's self-sacrificial traits...

and also the idea that rose gets the fantasy, but it's the fantasy a-bit-to-the-left (funhouse again) because there's always something a bit disconcerting about the lengths the doctor goes to to maintain the bubble, to the point of offering up the alternate-him/tentoo so that she can still have it, even though the actual physical doctor that shared it with her isn't actually there! and martha gets the glimpse of the fantasy, and then has to come to terms with the fact that she's not the person it's "for" and reassess her relationship to the idea of a fantasy in the first place (it helps that martha is an incredibly practical, pragmatic person, but it's still so... ouch)

I don't think it was intentional, but this also fascinating from the perspective of rose as a white woman and martha as a black woman -- who is the fantasy for, to the extent that strange and universe-breaking events go into maintaining it, and who has to be practical and pragmatic and self-reliant?

and also, it's got more tragedy in both cases -- rose as a spectre/haunter of the narrative is always a little bit intangible when she's looked back on (even though in the story she's in she's incredibly real and well-rounded, every time I go back to s1 I am struck by how grounded she is in reality), and I think that's something interesting in terms of her mother's warning in s2, how if she travels with the doctor "forever" she'll become something else, something not her

and martha's mother warns her as well, although she's not completely sure of what, and in contrast to rose this warning comes into very painful fruition, harming her entire family (except, maybe her brother? I wonder if there's anything written about that), but where rose is so omnipresent, martha tries several times to take herself out

(also something about both of their mothers being their anchor-points)

there's something there that's at the centre of both rose's and martha's arcs:

is the change they're going through because of the doctor... good? good for them? good for their families? good as in they're becoming better people than before? good for the world they inhabit? is it good for the person they used to be? did they become better than that person? can they ever truly deal with or even begin to comprehend how these events made them who they are? can they even connect who they are now to who they were then? was this good?

they both become these larger-than-life people, somewhat without noticing on both parts (but the narrative does notice), one of them a ghost, and the other a soldier -- one of them an increasingly intangible, ever-present idea, and the other someone who has to fight every step of the way

it's just a bunch of things I've had going through my head that I can't quite formulate in coherent essay-like sentences, but for sure it's there

opposite sides of the coin, rose tyler and martha jones

I do wish they'd had space in the story for them to talk

#martha jones #rose tyler #doctor who #dw #i also wish they'd had space in the narrative for them to make out but youknow #i know that rose and tentoo is generally interpreted as a net-positive -- including in a subsequent comic #but it was always very eerie to me #this also to deal with the fact that while i looove martha's arc in s4 #hers was the weakest goodbye scene in the final episode imo #because the pair the spares makes it seem like there wasn't a lot of thought put into it/where she is now #and like sure they're both hanging out with jack at torchwood but it's so out of the blue #and then she finishes up with a gun in her hand -- far cry from where we met her even in poison sky #working for UNIT but! --- but does fit somewhat from where we saw her end s4 when she was ready to destroy the world #but it's still sort of disconnected from the story? why is she there? why is there a sontaran there? why gun and not medicine? questions #questions for which the answer presumably was: because she looks badass but i need More than that! I need Answers! #argh martha i want so badly for them to at least mention you in the specials. where are you 🥺🥺🥺 #gun to your head rtd do it! #doctor who meta

I find it so funny that both steddie and ronance are Eddie and Robin looking at KiNg Steve Harrington and Nancy "suCh a PRisS" Wheeler and realizing that they're actually really badass and kind and sweet and having a lot of gay feelings about that as they should

#like they both know that they're hot but then s4 and it turns out that they are not only decent humans #but eddie discovers that steve just cares about people and is so earnest and a good fucking dude #and eddie is such a sl*t for kindness like all steve had to do was thank him and say to him to not be so hard on himself #for eddie to turn into a babbling mess #meanwhile robin knew nancy was badass since s3 but she never really realized how fucking just sweet she was? #and then there nance was asking her if 'that means we are friends?' with shyness and robin was gone on her #like it was genually so fucking sweet and robin still aches from it from the way nancy wheeler is a badass and stubborn #and full of hard edges but then she can be so fucking *sweet* #both eddie and robin are waay to gay for this two #meanwhile steve and nancy are just looking at the two stumbling disasters and are like 'fuck *heart eyes* i want that one' #steddie #ronance #fruity four #stranger things #steve harrington #nancy wheeler #robin buckley #eddie munson

After listening to their intros, these two have the potential to be a great duo.

(The Divine duo)

Ashrah: To save the Empress, you must go with me to Nekros

Tanya: The city is no myth? It exists?

---

Tanya: The order of light should train with the Umgadi.

Ashrah: That would be an honor, Tanya.

---

Ashrah: A new evil rises to threaten the royal family.

Tanya: Elaborate, Ashrah.

---

Tanya: I want to hunt down Quan Chi as much as you do.

Ashrah: Then cast aside your reservations and join me.

There's so much story potential. I would love to see them go to Nekros or hunt down Quan Chi together. Can you imagine the order of light and Umgadi working together to protect the royal house? Or training together? Please, I would love to see it.

#kind of an underated duo #i dont talk about her much but i love Ashrah #tanya #tanya mk1 #Ashrah #Ashrah mk1 #mk1 #mortal kombat #mk #these two could get shit done fr #They're both so badass #divine duo

The last post I reblogged made me think about Wilhelm and Simon and how we('re supposed to) perceive them! I've started another rewatch while taking notes this time and in the first episode, we can see Simon's keyring :

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's the only time we see it? And I love it so much, it encapsulates so much of Simon to me : a little rebel at heart! He may be wearing a nice uniform, being polite and singing like an angel, he stills says a big fuck you to the system. To the school? The monarchy? The elite and the bullies? I love that shot. And I think people shouldn't underestimate how angry and badass Simon can be ^^ (I actually have a lot to say on this subject but I wanna rewatch a few more episodes first!!)

I also love that we have that shot earlier in the episode :

In contrast to the "fuck you" of Simon is Wilhelm being stuck and forced to follow "good manners and etiquette"...

#young royals #wilmon #simon eriksson #prince wilhelm #they are both badass #and angry #in different ways #and they're also both quite nerdy #and I love them for that #Young Royals s1e1 #my analysis

I think my favorite thing about Aeduan and Iseult is that they are obviously head over heels for eachother but neither of them has any frame of reference for those feelings so they're just ????? at all times. they're basically the "what was that?" "affection" "disgusting. do it again." meme

#the witchlands #witchlands #aeduan #iseult #also aeduans internal monologue of ''dont touch me >:[. wait. maybe do that again 🥺'' in bloodwitch cracks me up #i think also in a world of YA fantasy where romance feels very forced and abrupt and kinda stale most times these two have #A much more realistic and nuanced relationship #They've killed for eachother. She brought him back from the brink of death. The force of his love for her basically overpowered #an ancient spirit #they haven't kissed. they might not ever #but they are so much in love #I adore them #Also they're both badass but that's beside the both

vash truly is one of the most characters ever. like. he's a normal guy. he's a gunslinger. he barely uses his gun. he's lame. he's a dork. he's the most badass character ever. there are two (2) different instances of him barking in the anime. he has an evil brother. he's cain and also abel. he's an angel. also an alien. he's good with kids. he's a staunch pacifist. he's naive. but also he's aware of how inconvenient his views can be. he's a staunch pacifist. and he's killed before. and he's everything to me <3

#he's just. so incredibly nuanced its incredible. i love him i'm picking him up by the scruff and shaking him #i just love how he's legit so badass. and also the most lame pathetic man youve ever seen. and these r not mutually exclusive things #jc.txt #trigun #vash and wolfwood r just such fucking insane characters 2 me theyre both so goofy and dorky #and also they can both be so fucking serious and stoic and badass and tragic #theyre insane 2 me. they r buzzing like flies in my brain #anyways. god. when they're narrative foils

it's rare that i'm ludicrously reality-defyingly canon-denyingly attached to a het ship but i truly don't care how much all adventure time media keeps pushing huntress wizard, i WILL be team "finn and flame princess get back together once they've both grown up and matured emotionally" until the day i die and you CANNOT take that away from me

#talk tag #i LOVE huntress wizard. i wanted an episode about her for YEARS before flute spell came out i truly adore her #but i simply don't think she should date finn #or have his children in an alternate universe. what the hell was that even. #she's such a fucking badass she deserves better than to have a bunch of kids and then die offscreen before the story starts #finn and fp aren't wrong for each other they were just dumb kids when they dated! #i had a girlfriend when i was 13 and i fucking sucked at being in a relationship oh my god i had no idea how to act #i love that they had the arc they had. i love that it was taken seriously that he hurt her even though he didn't mean to #and that he grew and learned from it #but i just. want them to be together. they've gone through all of that and they've grown and i think they could be good for each other now #i just think they make sense together! they're both so passionate and they have FUN together
