*Poll inspired by typical ambiguity in the new audio story Victory of the Doctor, which on an unrelated note is amazing!

Evidence for each argument beneath the cut!

Open marriage

The Doctor's wedding to Marilyn Monroe occurs in A Christmas Carol, when he storms off to a chapel with lipstick marks on his face. “I’ll just go and get married then, shall I? See how you like that. Marilyn? Get your coat!”

While he wasn't yet with River then, he maintains this relationship afterwards, apparently with River involved. In the mini-episode Good Night, the Doctor enters the TARDIS with a euphonium, calling over his shoulder, “River! I’ll see you later! Tell Marilyn she’s too late, she’ll have to use the biplane. Take care!”

Another piece of evidence comes from The Wedding of River Song, when they're passive-aggressively flirting.

“Hallucinogenic lipstick. Works wonders on President Kennedy. And Cleopatra was a real pushover.” “I always thought so.” “She mentioned you.” “What did she say?” “Put down that gun.” “Did you?” “Eventually.” “Oh, they're flirting. Do I have to watch this?” (from Kovarian)

I've never understood the innuendo (please tell me what I'm missing), but Kovarian does, and as we know from The Husbands of River Song, the Doctor and River are both married to Cleopatra, so… it's definitely something.

There's also that diary page in The Eternity Clock game that suggests the Doctor, River, and Jim the Fish got blackout drunk at karaoke night and started “some sort of religion of love” which went on to last for centuries.

Serial cheaters

“How can you be engaged, in a manner of speaking?” The Doctor is jealous in Flesh and Stone before he's even kissed her, which doesn't set him up as a person who'd be interested in an open marriage.

“No, wait. That's your husband? That's who you're married to? Not anybody else?” In The Husbands of River Song, the Doctor is clearly not expecting the other husbands. Culminating in the same episode…

“So, King Hydroflax?” “Oh, how many times? I married the diamond!” “So you say.” “Elizabeth the First!” “Ramone!” “Marilyn Monroe!” “Stephen Fry!” “Cleopatra!” “Same thing!”

It appears he is well aware of her other spouses (and that she's aware of his); so perhaps his surprise was more that didn't expect her to be so flagrant about them. It makes him insecure (“I posed as his nurse. Took me a week.” “To fall in love?” “It's the easiest lie you can tell a man. They'll automatically believe any story they're the hero of.”) enough to start an argument about it.

River also expresses her jealousy as an obvious fact, as seen in The Day of the Doctor Novelization (written by Moffat who (along with Alex!!) knows the character best):

“Ow!” “Madame de Pompadour?” “Jealous?” “Of course I’m jealous. Keep your hands off her.”

In The Name of the Doctor, we learn that the Doctor, who has had a number of... sexually-charged moments with Clara (including, but not limited to, Victorian Clara), has avoided telling her that River is his wife. Vastra is uncomfortable with having to introduce them, having “gone a darker shade of green.”

“The Doctor might have mentioned me?” “Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, of course he has. Professor Song! Sorry, it's just I never realized you were a woman.” (from Clara)

Actually both

This could mean many things (i.e. open marriage with boundaries which are violated), but potentially, all the same evidence from prior arguments! With a shade of “Our lives are back to front.”

In the mini-episodes First Night/Last Night, when River, having burst into the TARDIS and pretended to faint, mistakes her past self for another woman the Doctor's hiding from her, she openly expresses jealousy.

“Doctor. Have you brought someone else here? Does anyone agree to wear that dress? Where is she!” “River, think it through!” “This happened the last time we were here. You brought someone else!” “No I didn’t!” “Yes you did, I heard you talking to her!”

However, when a third and significantly older version of River makes the same mistake, she no longer expresses jealousy, but rather curiosity, which could at least signal a shift in how she sees their marriage.

Maybe there was a conversation that happened. Maybe it slipped the Doctor's mind when he forgot Clara.

Actually neither

This could also mean multiple things, but one of those things is this. The Doctor is a widower from the start. Likewise, River is well aware of Doctor's death on Trenzalore, “of course River would know, she's always known,” having been raised to prevent those events, and having refused to be bound by that destiny.

How can fidelity be defined the same way for time travelers? Everyone's spouses are dead somewhen. River understands the paradox of her husband's existence better than anyone. To quote The Day of the Doctor Novelization yet again…

‘Because you live in a time machine. All of history is still happening outside those doors. On a good night that means everyone you ever met is still alive and you can’t wait to see them again. On a bad night, it means everyone’s dead, and you want to charge around the universe, pretending you can do something about that.’ She looked up at me. ‘I know which version of you I prefer.’

And there she was, so alive again. I remembered her, twisted, burnt and dead, in the depths of The Library. ‘What if there are people who died because of me?’ I asked. ‘What if there are people I should have saved?’

‘People die. All people, everywhere. We grieve and we move on. That is how we respect the dead. That is how we forgive ourselves in their presence and their absence.’

Please feel free to add anything I missed!

context: I'm writing a LONG wip (should be 55 chapters, an actual epic story with action and plot though romantic destiel filter) and I'm thinking about when i should start posting it. Generally I'd want to finish first and post afterwards, so i can update regularly and not be distracted from the actual writing, but it's gonna take me way too long to finish it (like two years realistically??) so I'm thinking maybe i might start posting it before, even if less regularly? So i can share it with you earlier and you can engage with me as i write it?

#spn fic #destiel fic #my fic writing #polls #fanfic posting #looking for opinions #tell me what you'd do as a writer #tell me what you'd prefer as a reader #yes before you point out how crazy it is that I'm writing a 55-chapter supernatural fanfiction I KNOW OKAY I'M AN INSANE PERSON #it's also kind of a masterpiece so I'm even more insane but *whatever*#which is why i WON'T abandon this story in case that's one of your concerns (before you vote one or the other)#but i can't write regularly so some chapters may take me more time than others and i might get stuck for a whole month #which is why it may take me this long #also i'm a perfectionist #I'm currently about to finish chapter 14 btw #it's already 90k words and overall it's supposed to be 275k to 300k words #listen this is an insane project and i am only one tiny person #anyways #let me know your opinion in the comments and tags so i can organize and plan it like the control freak i am thanks <3 #ICYNITD

It's mob voting season which means my entire twitter feed is full of people hating on Mojang and the staff <\3

#minecraft #minecraft mob vote #btw i dont think you cant have critisism of mojang #but i do hate seeing the same take which is #“well but modders can do more”#modders don't have to go through months of specific revisions #it's a company #they have rules and standards that need to be met before they can even start coding

I know some of y'all are taking the polls seriously, but this is the bit website, we will do anything for the bit, and the bit rn is Tenten beating Sasuke

As poll runner I have to admit it’s kinda a shame to see these done just for the bit though. It’s the WHOLE reason that I did a SECOND worst Naruto character poll. Because Kishimoto was just for shits and giggles. It’s nice to have an actual answer from people.

#that’s taking my bias completely out of the question too btw #just genuinely would be interesting to see what character fandom actually thinks is best. not what would be funniest.#i know some of you for sure are genuinely voting tenten and absolutely NOTHING against that but… so many of you are just doing it for laughs #which genuinely sucks to see as someone who has put A LOT of effort into this poll because i wanted to see who tumblr fandom thinks is best #asks #anon

I really like hearing what you have to say about spg bc I like their music but I'm very much a Causal Enjoyer so it's cool to hear some Lore. Any other spg related things you've been wanting to talk about?

Ohhhhh anon this is the best and worst ask you could have possibly sent me because there are So Many Things that are insane to me about SPG lore that I would love to talk about but literally each of them requires like two paragraphs MINIMUM of explanation and context beforehand. But I WILL tell you what's on my mind right now and that's the fact that the Spine canonically has a credit card. This is hilarious to me for many reasons, those being that he has obtained a credit card either through:

A) having a Social Security Number

B) having an Individual Taxpayer Identity Number

or C) Peter Walter VI going with him to their local bank branch and sitting there with him as the poor financial advisor has to come very quickly to terms with the fact that this tall silver man and this other man with a keyhole for a face want to open a new credit card under the name of this silver man who is not technically a human being.

All of these answers are very compelling to me for different reasons, but through process of elimination, we can get rid of B, since that's exclusively for US nonresidents and the Spine was built in the US. I'm personally eliminating C because I don't think it's the funniest option. So conclusively: yes, I think the Spine has an SSN, and furthermore, I think he pays taxes.

We know canonically already that not only does the Spine know how to do taxes, but he loves doing them and he's very good at them (he will, in fact, quadruple your return).

I posit now that the Spine pays taxes because he wants to do them for two main reasons: that he feels deeply and strongly this proves to the US government that he's a living being with feelings and rights just like any other taxpaying American, and that he is an old, old man who loves looking at things and asking if his taxpayer dollars really went towards this.

I do not, however, think Rabbit, Zer0, Hatchworth, or any other robots care this much over human financial systems because they are very old and dumb and they are also wise and blasé enough over how they're viewed by US legislation to understand that the less of their limited income they have to fork over to Uncle Sam, the better.

#spg #steam powered giraffe #answered #anonymous #i need you all to know i've been literally thinking abt this the whole day and have roped in my bestie my sister AND my father to discuss #i was looking at the paperwork to apply for an SSN today and nearly DIED laughing like he was BUILT what's he gonna DO #SUBMIT HIS BLUEPRINTS??? he was born before social security was INVENTED #we had a REAL debate over whether or not the spine can vote and he probably can't UNLESS. he took the citizenship test.#which that in and of itself is its own discussion #the real question is if they have financial independence or not. like an allowance? sure. maybe. but they HAVE to be dependents right???#a very near runner-up to this ask topic btw was the walter robotics union which they HAVE.#flicker's meta

no because since i wrote this one long breakdown of mike's character and how i make sense of his behavior in seasons 3 and 4 and don't hate him for it and even love him for it for my friend i feel like he's my best friend like ugh

#SHE NEVER READ IT BTW #it WAS really long (she asked for it and i warned her) but it's fine it didn't hurt my feelings that much because i had a lot of fun #writing everything down and organizing my thoughts #she like asked how i would defend him if asked because of a tweet i made in which i said that i could defend him if prompted #and it was really funny like i saw her in person first right and so i spent like an hour getting her to see the byler vision and trying to #get her to see that that's what they're doing. mind you she had never considered the possibility of mileven not being endgame (she doesn't #care about them she's not that invested in the show)#and so when i was like imagine being in love with your male best friend and it's the 80s and your parents voted for reagan and she was #already like aw poor mike #AND THEN i wrote my thing like the day after and really it's fine that she didn't read it (i mean maybe she has i just moved on) because #she already felt sorry for him and so she's not in the 'mike doesn't deserve will anyways' mindset anymore. debby ryan gif #and like i say: brf slt
