i hope ruby gets a well-that’s-alright-then-style notdeath. on the one hand it will make haters mad because oh no not another companion with an impermanent end (and i like to see haters mad) on the other it would require creativity to depict this in a new way + i love all the implications i love the dark fairytale quality of these companion exits i love my un-undead schrodinger’s women
with the way the legend of ruby sunday is titled… legends aren’t usually told about living people. legends are stories of the bygone past, of an age long since over, fictionalised and overgrown with folklore like barnacles sticking to an abandoned shell. there is such a thing as a living legend, but they’re exceedingly rare. the unmistakeable raven’s call in the 73 yards teaser, the trailer’s cut to fifteen crying alone after promising to cherry he’d protect her daughter… the foreshadowing is clear as day…
and yet. there’s one massive HOWEVER. ruby appears in s15: millie’s been spotted on set filming it. which leads me to believe — the doctor isn’t one to take the time travel route and revisit companions that in his future are genuinely dead. that would hurt too much, it would cause unnecessary trauma and could break the timeline. that must mean ruby stays alive in some way. ish. she’s alive and a legend and a mystery. girl-ballad girl-song girl-paradox
here she is, fading out.
p.s.: thesis statement on moffatgirls from the tags i left on somebody else’s post about charley pollard.. well it belongs here since it’s basically the semiotic hurricane swirling around ruby at the moment :)

I’ve gotta say, learning that virtually every man thinks about the Roman Empire more often than I think about the Roman Empire (which is often) gives me great hope for the future and the male sex as a whole

the twist of fate being that spain winning the world cup was, perhaps, exactly what was necessary to happen in order to clean up the rfef, because….
they got away with it. they were in the clear. they achieved their goals of ridding the team of the ‘problem’ players, and forcing the others into grovelling, humiliating, public compliance. they had the perfect “see? we were right all along. we’ve been vindicated!” playbook in their back pocket. they had a stable enough pr stance, and world cup to parade around in the defiance of any noise around them
but they literally just could not stop themselves from being absolute weirdos for one evening. it’s incredible. and frankly, a little scary

Literally why are all Irene Adler posts on tumblr some shit like “Irene Norton could never heterosexually fuck Sherlock Holmes… because she’s heterosexually married to Mr. Norton before the eyes of God and the Church! hashtag love wins! what a lucky man! Now watch me project an entire personality onto this male character that shows up for a single scene! Never ever forget she takes his name after marriage like the good devoted wife she is! Respect!” Like helloooooo. Can anybody hear me.

Sorry but I have a hard time understanding why so much hate towards DR3 ? What did he do wrong? Or says something wrong? Is it just because of its results? But... He is not alone in managing the results, he is part of a team…
I’ m so sorry ! Maybe I'm missing information?!
I have the impression that it's gratuitous hatred :-(
I see some comments on the networks and I find it sad
hii! you don’t need to say sorry; it’s totally fine! but the hate on him isn’t without reason or because of his bad performance, it’s because of his attitudes. he’s already said a lot of shit like calling horner’s harassment case “just noise and distraction”. it’s very painful to know that he has influence and privileges and still ignore such an important cause, classifying it as “noise”. this is hurtful. he has also laughed and participated in stupid misogynistic jokes and has acted immaturely and irresponsibly towards his teammate (Yuki). he’s sinking his own career with his shitty attitudes, that’s why the hate. but there are still a lot of people who like and defend him because he is funny and outgoing; so people see these problems and ignore them.
