it’s also baffling to me that tumblr, home of the ‘why are white men Still being cast as the doctor’ for So many years now (For you know, like over a decade.) is somehow not appalled that they hired a white dude to be the next Doctor because look okay it’s okay if it’s This white man.
I mean, I do not consent to acknowledge that they’ve shoved him in there under any circumstance, but my Only need for the casting of the next person was that it was Not a white man, otherwise i didn’t care who it was, so when they “announced” Gatwa I was satisfied (i am hesitant to say they announced it bc it was more like a tiny footnote than an announcement, oh the disrespect) and it took a whole seven days (it was literally seven days. Yes i counted. it was easy since it was only seven days) it was ‘actually sorry no it’s this white dude we’ve already had before did we forget to mention that???’ and it’s steadily gotten worse and worse.
That This site of all places is not up in arms about both the situation and how it specifically played out is depressing, but also massively and darkly hilarious.
Especially since i Also remember nobody on this site thought casting Whittaker was good enough but literally going backward to a previous white man is?? This is not even a metaphor about diversity getting worse, they literally looked backwards.
But, yeah, tenn/ant with the ‘what the future looks like’ headline is uh... Good???? Not super worrying and ominous?
I feel like i’ve been dumped in some weird parallel universe by reactions to all of this on here like??? the whole way this was done was appalling, the situation is appalling, but i guess the bbc/disney should get a rousing round of applause for accurately judging that nobody would care about their poor actions if the specific white guy they cast was popular enough that next to nobody would care.
( and to the ‘it’s an anniversary ep’ thing, they legit could have just set a couple of eps in the past. i don’t mean they travel to the past. i mean just say ‘hey this ep is set during s4!’ and nobody would care. this show does weirder stuff than this every second episode. and it would still be bad, but how they did it is so much Worse.)
hii anon who sent me that ask, ILY and i tried to make a vid of me singing that as a song, but i fucked up and deleted ur ask accidentally so heres me answering it + a shitty vid <3

People who hate Shiv or think she was wrong for what she did in the finale are so unserious to me. "How could she screw over Kendall and stop them from keeping the company???" oh you mean the guy who promised they'd run it together and then immediately double crossed her? And then spent the rest of the season trying to cut Roman out of the company too?? How could she betray that guy??? real mystery.
Throw back to my first sofh gameplay were I immediately opted for the "my job here is done byee" option during Prihine wedding bc that would most likely be my actual reaction in that kind of situation. I was sad for Cain but I didn't want to go back on my choices and didn't even realize he could have been reappeared often during the rest of the story. Flash forward to our meeting with Lavinet: I didn't think a piece of fiction could ever make me feel that level of second hand(?) embarassment ever again. The guilt tripping was next level (granted it takes me almost nothing to feel guilty BUT STILL LOL)
The surprise jumpscare of Lavinet hating you on-sight is the game pointing a gun at you and saying it hasn't forgotten your choices no matter how much time has passed! ❤️
just so you know, monkey is my dog!!!!! Yes I will admit it we have copied! And we are truly sorry. All the hate comments isn’t necessary! But we do understand! We have deleted the blogs because we’ve realized what we’ve done. Please, understand this will not happen again.
Dropping these for anyone keeping up with the saga and asking if their accounts are gone for good, etc. My take is: they do not regret any of it, still refuse to admit it's just one person while taking subtle jabs at my post exposing them (ofc you wouldn't agree with something showing your wrongdoings). They also were well-aware they were doing something wrong way before I ever said anything, hence why the constant alt account making and deleting of posts, editing bios, switching faceclaims, you name it. My advice is to still be on the look-out for suspicious accounts following you in the near future, because they have the habit of popping back up.
To whoever is behind this really, I'd say making a new profile and adding a John ship that rips off Sabrina's little sister's name (Savannah Donovan, wrong spelling again, to be sneaky) is another level of low and shows how 'truly sorry' and aware of your actions you are. She is ten years old, for context, and John is the closest she gets to a father. So yeah, fucked all around. Especially since those two are always so precious in their interactions.
You're not sorry because you suddenly realized you did something wrong, just sorry because you got caught and called out. It's why you deleted everything, too. Also, I never thought I'd have to spell it out for ya Swiper, don't be coming into my DMs, asking for help after stealing and trying to rattle me by taking jabs at my characters. You made your bed, now lie in it. It's as simple as that.
Original post that started this for anyone that might need context.
