the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

@nathanwpyle

I literally love this.

I couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes.

No joke.

Something very funny to me is how The Eighth Doctor has amnesia during the Doctor Who TV Movie as a result of post-regeneration madness. You know, as had already happened in multiple regeneration stories previously. Because the TV Movie was basically just one extended regeneration story for Eight.

But because the TV Movie never made it to series, the movie itself was all anyone had to go on with regards to the Eighth Doctor's characterisation for the longest time. Which meant that a bunch of Extended Universe writers seemingly just decided that having amnesia was a key part of Eight's character and personality, and so it Just Kept Happening. Again and again. For years.

She’s built different 😌

SIGH *adds Lolita to the list*

Doctor Who family scheme

I'm still working on this, but it's an attempt at a family tree of the doctor. (Or rather a web of family trees surrounding them)

It is of course pretty difficult and chaotic per definition

Queer people will ask you on a date and when you get there it's retro video games.

My favorite thing about Thirteen is that she just says shit. The word "disingenuous" isn't even in her vocabulary. Humans with almost no concept of alien life say, "You don't look like an alien"; she says, "Oh, I know, but you should see me when my body explodes and I turn into someone else!" She won't call her sonic screwdriver a screwdriver because, well, it's not a screwdriver. She'll casually tell anyone, in any place and time period, that she used to be a man, or, if it becomes vaguely relevant, that she's from another planet and travels through time in a spaceship. Graham tells her he's terrified of his cancer coming back; she says, "I'm sorry, I don't have an appropriate response. I'm going to go over here for a while and stare at a thing, and I'll let you know if I come up with one." Ryan tells her about his dad's failures as a parent; she meets Ryan's dad and goes, "Hello, Ryan's dad! You're a failure as a parent and a disappointment to your child." She's not socially awkward; she's socially chaotic.

trying out circular gallifreyan by writing my own name!

i also made it in colour now :))

I had the same thought about the Tardis being called The Doctor's Wife while also becoming the mother of River, the Doctor's literal wife lol

So I found the video you were referring to, and yes, now i have to include the weird child of Kamelion and the Tardis who apparently kinda takes Peri Brown's place on earth ?? (from shortstory The Reproductive cycle)

but IT GETS WORSE because the same video also mentions Compassion, a four times over "remembered" human made into a timeship by the Tardis, who had (humanoid) timeship children, one of which made a genetically altered human species (???????????????????????what a can of worms this is)

@seaweedstarshine I am very much for the interpretation that Fifteen is just Fourteen after he did his rehab, and thus should not be considered a split in person.

btw I'm rewatching New Who and reading up on Old Who, so now I'm also thinking about including stuff like:

the Cult of Skaro once made dalek-humans which unintentionally had some of the Doctor’s DNA  (so this means dalek creator Davros and all daleks will appear in this family web too lmao)

how do I interpret Rory’s Nestene Doppelganger who is actually kinda shown to be the same person as regular Rory but he is made out of plastic right but that universe is also reset right but he remembers being there and waiting for centuries?

River is called a daughter of the Tardis sometimes, sooo I guess she’ll have four parents in this web? (Amy-Rory-Tardis, Kovarian)

the Doctor apparently made his car Bessie conscious by connecting her to the tardis, so I guess imma add the literal car to his family tree, as offspring to both the Doctor and the Tardis

if the Tardis is present, I think I should add this woman Idris from ‘The Doctor’s Wife’, as well as the living planetoid House and its slaves/creations Auntie, Uncle and Nephew ?

there’s a Ganger of the Doctor made by The Flesh who turned fully alive, should I include all other turned-alive Gangers

the K9's omg how do i know who exactly made all of them and does repairing them to be "alive" again count

probably shitty worldbuilding idea: fantasy world that keeps going

My slightly weird dice for Weird Dice Wednesday. Cardinal and ordinal directions, weather, 3d6, 2d6.

AU where the doctor and the master both get chameleon arched against their will but the human versions of them end up meeting and falling in love and then when they get back to normal they have to reckon with the fact that even without their complicated shared history, they will always find each other and love each other
