the unending cosmic horrors of the universe versus A Song
#that’s what rockabye the musical was about im pretty sure#also that one dr who episode#or prolly more than one#i need to either become music or have like multiple bodies to listen to more music or just be completely swallowed by music#i’m normal about music aren’t i#this isn’t even about a specific song it’s about many many many of them#i dunno cause like i think that music is kinda just life isn’t it#i’ve said this before but yknow the inherent rhythms of movement in life is like the basis for music#yesterday i had a conversation about how would we play the piano if we had four arms & hands#and the conclusion was that instruments would have developed in a completely different way! the basic rhythm of our collective selves#and the way that we would act beyond music in terms of just surviving would be entirrely different#there was something more about that but i forget.#anyway the broader statement here is that art is an inherent part of being a human being and we are all art and we are all human beings#and that’s incredible really. like in an even broader sense i am alive and you are alive and that’s art maybe in some way#i’m not quite sure what i’m saying these are just the thoughts i regularly rotate in my brain like everyone else#ok tumbles and esteemed guests (1-3 people realistically) i leave you with those ramblings#have a good evening or otherwise time#ezra’s real life rambles#ezra likes music

'time heist' starts with stuff like "oh yeah the bank of karabraxos, most secure bank ever, zero successful robberies ever" and then the episode continues and the bank has like 5 cameras in total and a lot of conveniently big vents. 0 sensors, 0 nothing, just a mind soup alien
#its literally filled with so many plot conveniences#i love#time heist#so much#i love the vibes#they are so well written i always feel symphathetic towards their situations#i love the characters#also saibra?? and clara???#i love women#one of my fav episodes ever#doctor who#dw#dr who#the doctor#12th doctor#clara oswald

you know what? i was just thinking and literally every episode with the trickster's brigade in it involves suicide somehow
whatever happened to sarah jane? (sja): andrea has to CHOOSE to die to go back on her deal with the trickster. you actually SEE her smile at sarah jane and then let go on purpose in order to fall to her death (this was a kids show)
turn left (doctor who): the right-donna has to kill herself in order to get past-donna to turn left instead of right — not only killing herself but meaning that she never existed in the first place
the temptation of sarah jane smith (sja): its quite literally basically like, yeah, sarah janes parents definitely crashed the car on purpose. and like, they never actually SAY it that obviously but they DO definitely CHOOSE to get in the car knowing they have to crash to set things right (again. this was a kids show)
the wedding of sarah jane smith (sja): again, peter dalton, like andrea, has to CHOOSE to go back on his deal with the trickster, probably the weakest example but like, he is still definitely CHOOSING to die instead of live
immortal sins (torchwood): this is actually somehow the ONLY one where the answer to "how do we beat the trickster" is NOT suicide, which is so wild considering that THIS is the gritty adult spinoff. no, the trickster they beat just fine. jack just decides to kill himself in order to (quite literally) ghost angelo with the most possible emotional torment
#sja#doctor who#torchwood#trickster's brigade#sarah jane adventures#ari opinion hour#not bonff#obsessed with the fact that the recurring villain from the KIDS SHOW spinoff is the one that involves suicide constantly#HOW. HOW. HOW IS IT THAT THE TORCHWOOD EPISODE IS THE ONLY ONE WHERE THE SOLUTION TO THE WHOLE THING ISNT THAT SOMEBODY HAS TO KILL THEMSEL#THATS FUCKING INSANE. THATS HILARIOUS#also: yet another reason why it makes truly SO much sense that i am obsessed with THIS relatively minor villain in particular#i <3 suicide in dr who

I can't go five minutes in DW fandom without people being just atrociously mean about things that I love with the blissful unawareness of majority mainstream opinion holders that the people they're being mean about are like. In the space with them. And this in a space full of ardent fans of arguably some of the most esoteric obscure side stuff that everyone else disdains or doesn't even know. And I'm having fun for the most part but also like. It's just exhausting, constantly goddamn exhausting.
#this is about moffat and eleven#in case that wasn't clear#megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace#i'm not gonna say that Lawrence Miles in particular doesn't have every reason to hate Moffat#or that as an EDA fan first and foremost I don't also side eye the fuck out of a lot of his early arc plots#but Moffat wrote *characters* in a way that no one before or since does#everyone droning on about rtd found family has nothing on 11 and 12 era character relationships#also yeah it is genuinely annoying and upsetting that people are STILL going on and on and on and on about ~bad vibes~ ~misogyny~ whatever#like that's just your opinion man#and I think certain fans would genuinely be shocked to actually acknowledge that some people just straight up disagree with them#and straight up have a different experience with that era of the show#and don't share the opinions that got so saturated with so little pushback that the arguments are by now parodies of themselves#like do you hate eleven's era because you formed that opinion yourself or do you hate eleven's run because hbomb made a video?#do you feel the way you feel because you came to that opinion or because others in fandom 'warned' you about moffat before you started?#also like ngl it just straight up hurts my feelings#it's mean! it's just really mean and I'm tired of getting my feelings hurt in situations that are meant to be fun!#I lived through this ten years ago when I'd watch Dr Who and then get on the internet to talk about it#and every post would be just endless bad faith nitpicking and tearing the episode apart#anyway gonna watch power of the daleks now and remind myself not to engage w nuwho fandom

I may be entirely biased but I do find the Neil Gaiman written episodes some of the most enjoyable in eleven’s run.
#I have extremely mixed feelings about this set of seasons#but one thing is for sure and that is Neil gaiman’s episodes are quite good#I also say biased because he’s one of my favorite authors of all time#but I think I should still be allowed to point this opinion out#doctor who#doctor who 2005#dr who#eleventh doctor#matt smitt#neil gaiman

You know, in abducting Murphy's Law, the android is grown with Milo's DNA, but it doesn't seem to have Murphy's Law, because Zack ended up as the primary target of Dr. Ds inators.
Admittedly the android is definitely not human, so it makes sense that it falls a bit short in being exactly like Milo and having Murphy's Law.
And it's not exactly foreshadowing since we know the aliens are after Milo. But it's still a bit weird to see bad things happening and Milo not at the center of it. (Also highlights how many of Doof's issues are self-inflicted).
Also the fact episode happens right after Milo's world where Melissa confesses that she used to think Milo could be a robot, agrees with Bradley that it was in fact impossible for him to be a robot, which happens again in this episode with her vehemently insisting that Milo is not a robot is nice. It's a cute little details as it tells us Melissa's grown a lot in her understanding of Milo since she met him.
#Also the fact that she was the one who brought up that the Japanese had robots#in Secrets and Pies had the dream confession of being a robot#being the one to fight against Dr. D's evil robot in the one episode.... Melissa really has a thing about robots doesn't she?#milo murphy's law#mml#Melissa Chase

ok finally got around to watching the haunting of villa diodati and I will be pretending that all of chibnall era is written like that
#i have only seen clips of the other chibnall episodes and i refuse to watch more than that because of what ive seen#and i heard villa diodati was like. the only one that isnt written terribly#also im gay (totally definitely unrelated)#but yeah jodie was fantastic in that episode like. that was The Doctor#and i will be choosing to pretend that the character writing throughout the era was equally good no thanks to chibnall of course#tldr maxine alderton lets kiss#doctor who#dr who#13th doctor#astarionlover says things

i am sick and fucking tired of steven moffat being praised for his strong and powerful female characters, he doesnt have strong and powerful female characters he has femme fatales with no personality outside of being “sexy”. woman are only worth anything to him if they’re skinny and conventionally attractive. i hope he fucking dies im dead serious.
#also the second one is from an episode where river dresses up in a n*zi uniform because she likes how it looks#and this isn’t weight/attractiveness related but i just watched an ep of dr who confidential where he said girls dont care about science#and this is just the tip of the iceberg. if anything ever happens to him i was with one of you guys at the time alright i wasn’t involved#micah.txt

there comes a beautiful time in life where i have to ask myselg th question, "did i accidentally project too hard onto the character that i only relate to a little bit and in doing so hugely missed this one entire aspect/interpretation of the characters . am i stupid"
#ARE THEY STUPID!#dr who#this is about ten specifically his relationship w martha lmao#m being so serious i genuinely did not. see the 'ten was on purpose leading martha on to make her think her feelings were requited' angle#until going out into the wild and reading the tumblr posts. like i genuinely did not. at ALLLLLL. its like a brick hitting my head#bc the ENTIRE time s3 ten came off to me as 'doing stuff w no romantic intent behind it but would consistently get misinterpreted as such'#cuz IIIIIIIII have done this. IIIIIIII have run into this problem before. and it sucks so incredibly bad.#i actually do want to think my og interpretation still holds water cuz like. well i could gather all the evidence but#first one that comes 2 mind would be him going 'it's like when you fancy someone + they dont know you exist' to martha. in episode TWELVE#two routes; either ten is needlessly cruel and callous even after a season's worth of building up trust and friendship w her#or he is on super 'i dont think she has feelings for me and this is a very unhappy coincidence of a line' cocaine#Or the 'she fancied me' line in s4 to donna. either he is disregarding all the good and positive impact she did him. or the fact that this#went over his head the whole time made him look back on that time w discomfort <- I DID THIS. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN PROJECTING#THIS ONTO HIM. AM I STUPID.?.?????#you know how mikage rgu can either be read as an incel or a gay man lost so completely in the sauce#ten is like in this same ballpark. i think. of 'emotionally manipulative and disrespects women' or 'aroacespec and missed the cues'#funniest possible options to pick from. ten my brother how did you set yourself up like this#absolutely not denying that he was toxic and unhealthy during s3 in like 500 ways btw. but well. ths is the one concwpt that#flew over my head. so completely. and i can kind of see it now but i also still find it hard to incorporate into my belief system#bc its like. brother I'M aroace and missed the cues too lol#tangential note we can trace many problems down to a writer's room filled w white people not giving#martha's character the respect/agency she deserves for the existing narrative she has. bc they pulled this w mickey too both in series 1+2#if they wanted to portray ten as manipulative then him and martha should've been given more screentime#together where martha (or anyone else) calls him the FUCK out on this. and ten would need to suffer narrative consequences of doing smth#as fucked up as that rather than his happy stable dynamic he has w donna. if they wanted to portray him as oblivious then marthas character#shouldn't have constantly been boiled down to an unrequited crush (particularly her dialogue in the s3 finale - there's a LOT more reasons#why she would choose to leave/why their dynamic was unhealthy besides ten not returning her feelings)#if you read all these tags you may be entitled 2 financial compensation#ten and martha#aspec doc tag

jam i have a question. who is eliot spencer... where is he from. what makes him ur number one blorbo and what do u understand abt him that no one else does <3
partridge thank you so much for this ask i need you to know you made my entire morning. eliot spencer is. my specialest guy my blorbo of all time i love him so so so so much. he's from the tv show leverage, which aired from 2008-2012* and isn't immune to the downfalls of that era of tv in general but that. honestly does a comparatively outstanding job to ME. it holds up and also the premise is "what if these extremely competent hot thieves ruined shitty rich people's lives and helped the people who'd been victimized by the rich people and created a found family together after all having various levels of sad backstory? and there was an ot3 made as canon as the showrunners could possibly make it in 2012?" i'm getting ahead of myself though.
*there's a sequel currently airing but i have yet to watch it & there's certain aspects about it that i refuse to accept as canon (this is a part of me being the most right about eliot)
i am putting this under the cut because. well. this got long
to start with context. having my brain rewired by supernatural and captain america: the winter soldier when i was a teenager is a huge factor in like. *waves hands vaguely* everything. when it comes to how i came to love leverage and eliot specifically. i got driven away from spn because (to simplify things) the showrunners hated the fans so bad and the characters were fighting the narrative but unable to escape it, and i loved the version of the characters that was actively being opposed by the show. and that was just plain not enjoyable for me. and marvel is marvel and continuity of emotional and interpersonal arcs doesn't matter at all to them.
and the thing is i took a sociology class in 2017 and it was making me so upset learning about white collar crime. and @canis-la-trans was like. we are watching leverage now. to remedy this. and i'd tried watching it with him before but this time around it just clicked. and the biggest part of what clicked is eliot. because listen. eliot is in somewhat of the same category as my earlier favorite characters but the thing about eliot spencer is that all of his best qualities are canon, not fanon. he redefines the category. he's incomprable. to me.
the thing about eliot spencer is he's the punchboy. he's the hitter. it's his job to get in the fights and protect the team. and he does his best to come across as grumpy, as not caring about people, does his best to fly under the radar as just another unintelligent lackey with a short temper who's particularly talented at violence.
but that's a performance. canonically that's a performance. and he has the best work/life separation of the whole team. he's not his job - he's very good at his job, and it's what he does and that is a part of him, but where some of the other characters view their job as an extension of their selfhood, eliot doesn't.
he cooks. he cooks so well that he could do that professionally. he grows all his own produce (allegedly). he's one of if not the best person on the team with kids. he loves so wholly so fast. he's the first person to call the team a we. within team dynamics he & sophie, the grifter, protect the other 2 from the worst of the team leader's dysfunction.
eliot's done bad things in the past. and he views himself completely past saving. like. from commentary on the show: he knows he's going to hell. like. his self worth is completely abysmal. i know he would die for the team. in s2e2 there's an episode where the team isn't succeeding at the con, and he takes the fall on purpose. and in a conversation about that he says "i'm not diving on a grenade. i'll be all right" but he says that so readily that i Know he's thought about it. and he would. for the team he would. for parker and hardison he would. he's in love with them. and they're in love with him too and i have to cut myself off or i'll go an entire separate rant about them!!!!
he has long hair. which he straightens. and he looks great with blood on his face. he doesn't use guns. he never throws the con for personal reasons - only ever does to protect kids. he grew up in rural oklahoma and he enlisted to get the hell out of dodge and he got in such a bad argument with his dad the night before he shipped out that he got disowned. and he can't even talk about it until nearly the end of the final season of the show. he never once mentions his mom. and i just know he got disowned for coming out, intentionally or not. he's never had an environment he could be his full self in without fear until the team.
parker, the thief of the team, is intentionally written as autistic; the hacker, hardison, is so likely written to have adhd. and eliot is autistic too, to me. it makes the level of performing masculinity to closet himself so much more insane to me. bc it's also masking. and adding that context to eliot and parker's relationship makes me unWELL.
the thing is is that eliot is a character who's hiding, who's actively doing his best to be unnoticed. and so many people who watch the show fall for the act, even if they don't fall for the whole act they fall for parts of it, and like. They Are Wrong About Him. i have an entire complex backstory thought up for eliot, because i think the only thing sadder than him missing out on the kind of connection he finds with the team is him knowing what he's missing because he had a queer best friend as a kid, & the two of them were closeted together, but he lost contact with her over the years.
the thing is that eliot spencer has SO MUCH GENDER and i know if he and parker and hardison adopted a kid eliot would be ma. never dad. and i don't think he'd even be able to start exploring that for himself until the end of the series.
the thing is eliot spencer would listen to the mountain goats. and there's a couple other people out there who are right about that and it makes me so insane 100% of the time.
and i love him and this is just a list of facts about him and the most important thing about eliot spencer to me is that. he exists in motion. trying to capture a still image or static description in words never works. but he's my wife and i love him so much. and i always will. and i'm writing a fic where i'm going to blow him up. just a little bit. for his own good. this is my "eliot made himself a mountain goats mix tape about knowing he's willing to jump on a bomb for parker and hardison & never telling them that in advance" playlist from that universe.
all of leverage is availible for free streaming on imdb tv & here are thee best leverage fanvids of all time:
youtube
youtube
youtube
& this last vid is abt the show in general, not just the ot3:
youtube
i would add all my fave eliot pics i have screenshotted but this is already so long . i still might rb and do that anyways he is Everything to me
#jam replies#boyjoan#this is 800 years long. i love eliot spencer so bad#the thing about leverage is that without even touching on eliot. this show went 'this autistic girl's special interest is stealing#& crime. why would you ever stop her from doing the stealing and crime' and they're so right for that.#parker isn't the pov character but she's the main character to me. nate is the narrator not the hero#literally though leverage has it all. fake dating. characters handcuffed together for an episode. episodes about historical crimes where#the actors play younger versions of characters from the past. murder mystery costume party where an actual murder happens that they have to#solve. baseball episode. 2 hockey episodes. eliot spencer sings and plays guitar with jo from supernatural. hardison makes their undercover#names dr. who references. there's a reference to the mcelroys. there's two episodes that tell the story of the same night 'off' from 2#different points of view.#eliot is a horsegirl.#i cannot put into words how amazing this show is it loves the fans so much & it's so clever and so good at like. being a story. and#character & emotional continuity is one of the things they value so much. i love this show so bad#my leverage special interest and mountain goats special interest are kissing with tongue#OH and the show also did. an 'i need you' moment. leverage grave danger job handclasp ca:tws handclasp spn goodbye stranger#not mind control though. but like.#okay i'm posting this now#leverage posting

Don't mind me sobbing over Doctor Who
I'm so excited to see more Who for the first time in years
#doctor who#david tennant was amazing as always#talking about Wilf just GOT ME#the whole dread about donna for her to be saved#Rose was so cool and i love her#donna finally got the man she deserved#the weird fly people were so peak dr who effects i loved it#the toys rose made made me cry as well for some reason#especially the ood#that was one of my favourite donna moments#kept waiting to see Martha though#what's she doing these days have we seen her recently#i tried so hard to like jodie's run but just wasn't wild about it#also john barrowman saying he's not involved made me a little sad but he was at least in some of the more recent episodes

Another reason Ghost Light is the bestest is that it quotes Douglas Adams, which implies that Doctor Who itself exists within the canon of Doctor Who. And since Destiny of the Daleks shows us a book by Oolon Colluphid that means the Hitchhikers' Guide takes place in the same universe as Doctor Who while also being fictional in the universe of Doctor Who.
#they didn't call it mindwarp for nothing#douglas adams#ghost light#destiny of the daleks#destiny is also fab but mostly only the first episode#ie the one where the contribution of Douglas Adams is most obvious#if anything was going to be canonise it's own fictional nature it'd be dr who right?#i feel like nu who has a similar mindfuck but i can't think what it is?#maybe something to do with the curse of fatal death? maybe?#and obvs there's that bit in Remembrance with the telly#Remembrance also canonises Quatermass into Dr Who which means the Radiophonics Workshop exist in Dr Who#dw
