Ok so I loved this line during the regeneration

I was wondering if it was a poetry reference, because 13 has had a few of those before. It turns out it's from an interview of the writer Dennis Potter, while he was dying of cancer, describing how much more strongly he felt connected to the present

"and looking at it, instead of saying "Oh that's nice blossom" ... last week looking at it through the window when I'm writing, I see it is the whitest, frothiest, blossomest blossom that there ever could be, and I can see it."

I just read the whole interview and god, what a thing to connect to thirteen in her last moments, what a thing for her to think of. It really ties into her desire to live in the now and not the past or future, her request to yaz, "can't we just live in the present" . It is just making me bawl my eyes out now thinking about the doctor thinking about this particular interview when regenerating, because she doesn't get a future, or really a past, she only has her now as herself, her past and future belong to someone else. Here's another bit from the interview that is making me go insane

"And we forget or tend to forget that life can only be defined in the present tense; it is is, and it is now only. I mean, as much as we would like to call back yesterday and indeed yearn to, and ache to sometimes, we can't. It's in us, but we can't actually; it's not there in front of us. However predictable tomorrow is, and unfortunately for most people, most of the time, it's too predictable, they're locked into whatever situation they're locked into ... Even so, no matter how predictable it is, there's the element of the unpredictable, of the you don't know. The only thing you know for sure is the present tense, and that nowness becomes so vivid that, almost in a perverse sort of way, I'm almost serene. You know, I can celebrate life."

Of course she went into it smiling and joking, it's now!! Her life!! She's celebrating!!

"But the nowness of everything is absolutely wondrous, and if people could see that, you know. There's no way of telling you; you have to experience it, but the glory of it, if you like, the comfort of it, the reassurance ... not that I'm interested in reassuring people - bugger that. The fact is, if you see the present tense, boy do you see it! And boy can you celebrate it"

You can read the interview here

“dont believe everything you hear. it was five beasts, actually 😏” to “it was five, actually 😕”

hes not proud of it anymore!! hes not proud that hes been killing creatures that have near human-level intelligence! hes not proud that he listened and learned and never asked questions! hes jacob holland, who killed five of them beasties in two days, and hes ashamed of it!

cassian andor created as a character who was created to die. cassian andor now as a character who cannot die. cassian andor as someone at the mercy of the narrative, doomed to die, doomed to live.

God my heart goes out to all the victims. It's do tiring. Fuck these dangerous abusive people.

I respect Jenny Han’s impulse to add as much drama to every situation possible. XO Kitty is like “what if we were both girls and you hired my long distance boyfriend to be your beard bc you were gay and closeted and then you dumped him so that he and I could be together again except now that I can be with my boyfriend I’ve fallen for you, the girl he was hired to date, making me realize that I also like girls. And also my boyfriends roommate was in love with me too < 3”

I almost thought I was a sane Hogwarts Legacy fan today until I looked at the properties of my HL folder on my laptop and realized I have over 100 GB of Hogwarts Legacy content on there.

From Madness With Love is so new it has basically no fandom and I'm going batshit bc the only way to cope with the clusterfuck that was that game is to INHALE so much fanwork that I know what the FUCK I feel about it/pos

I am still losing my shit and I finished it hours ago. I played 4 endings between 2 characters and I just. Idk how much FMWL (From Madness With Love) I have left in me. And yet I actually can't stop thinking abt it....

Underrated parallel between Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 1 that still makes me so incredibly emo is when you finish the Majima everywhere fights you have a final conversation with Majima in which he says

so going into Kiwami 2 I was fully expecting Majima to still be on his bullshit, as per usual- Only to find out that he and Kiryu had in fact not seen each other over the past year since the game had ended and that Majima had completely left Kiryu alone... He let Kiryu go to live his life clean and away from the yakuza, exactly the same way he had left Makoto 18 years beforehand, regardless of his own feelings.

ray toro solo frank treating it like a duet. my penis exploded

srry for always going round in circle w this character but the way hes framed drives me nuts. anyway can we talk about how both dirk and jake end the comic apparently convinced they should never speak to one another again and then in the credits theyre basically glued together at the hip

Me just now touching a story I haven't even though about and getting almost 1000 more words in. .. I like this character now

I read all the fast pass episodes
