MAN OF THE DAY #76 : KJ APA #4
ANOTHER PROOF THAT KJ APA IS A KING!
I shouldn't have a particular reason to reminds you how much I worship the actor KJ APA, best known for playing Archibald "Archie" Andrews in the tv series RIVERDALE. Handsome, strong, kind, confident, clever, funny, protective, smiling, muscled, stylish but also cool, everything he says or do is exciting in my eyes. 🥵
Tumblr media
Recently i discovered this pic and I had to tell what is amazing in it to my opinion.
This picture shows the gorgeous actor KJ Apa, about whom i wrote at least 3 MAN OF THE DAY articles and that i worship a lot! 😍
I don't know where / when this picture was taken. The god KJ Apa is wearing underpants, but that's not the one from the LACOSTE videoclip. Maybe on RIVERDALE's set? I don't recognize the room, but if that's what is happening, then it would be like in the story i wrote about KJ APA!
Tumblr media
That also shows well how dominant he is! 😏
On the picture, two guys are kneeling at KJ APA's feet, their head on the same level than his alpha dick. KJ APA's hands are the guys's heads, as if they were his obedient sons or pets. He maybe is naked and them dressed, but by exposing his gorgeous body he shows how confident he is in his sex-appeal. 🥵
If you want to read the story i told you about, i advise you to read it on DEVIANTART.
In this story you'll see that i was inspired by KJ APA's video where he calls a guy working on RIVERDALE's set "boy", petting his head!
That's one of my favorite and most exciting / sadistic story. Please don't hesitate to read it.
It wasn't the first time KJ Apa shows how superior he is on the set of RIVERDALE.
Tumblr media
Here you see him taller, muscler and sexier than the guys who works there but he still accept to take a picture with them, as a kind gesture, while showing his muscled body and putting his arm on the boy's shoulder as if this one was a human furniture. So alpha!
During the shooting of RIVERDALE's last season (I'll soon tell you what i thought of the ending), there was also this picture where you see Kj Apa resting his godly feet on his co-star Casey Cott (Kevin Keller in the series). You know Sir KJ Apa took Casey Cott's phone to make his fart joke (something i used in my story about KJ APA, for my farts fetishists readers 😏).
They are friends in the tv series and in life, so i dont think His Imperial Majesty King KJ Apa wanted to humiliate Sir Casey Cott.
Tumblr media
I just think His Imperial Majesty King KJ Apa wanted to be comfy, and since he is an alpha and the star of the show, Sir Casey Cott hasn't complained. Personally i wouldn't complained at all, i just would have liked to stay there forever because what excites me the most is this kind of humiliation, where the alpha just show how dominant he is without being brutal or yelling at his sub fag.
I think Archie / KJ Apa is a good master because he doesn't need to yell at his sub to be obeyed, he just is confident, kind but naturally authoritarian. Contrarly to Reginald "Reggie" Mantle who, in the RIVERDALE story, beats the sub and yells at him, Archie is protective while reminding the loser he must obey them. That's something that attract me, the fact that a dom knows that to be worthy of being worshipped, you shouldn't be feared but loved for who you are as a dom : someone clever, hot and strong.
Everything on KJ Apa is amazing and hot, and that brings me to my last point and reason why i talk (again!) about him as my MAN OF THE DAY. Apparently he and his wife Clara Berry, mother of their son, broke up a few times ago. That is really inspiring to me who was writing a story where His Majesty KJ APA and I were in couple! 😍
Honestly, of all alpha male celebs that i worship, he is the one i would love the most to be in couple with. Tall, kind, only three years older than me, he is all i want from a boyfriend and i love everything about him.
On this list of my favorite alpha men celebs you'll see what i like the most about KJ APA.
Besides, i want to suck his dick so much, and that means something because i am not particularly into blowjob 😅, and his ass 🤤 !
Tumblr media
I love that he plays with his supposed bisexuality, showing himself as if he is secretly in love with one of his male co-stars :
And in the last season of RIVERDALE, the homoerotism has never been so intense! 😍
Since i know i haven't posted a story since a long time (sorry about that, i had a lot of stuff in my personal and professional lives, and also my computer was broken), i wanted to publish an extract of the story i began many month ago about me dating KJ Apa.

EXTRACT OF MY FUTURE STORY ABOUT KJ APA AS Y DOMINANT HUSBAND 😍
KJ Apa and I were swimming, splashing and he was throwing me in the water for fun to save me, or toss me in the air to catch me. We were kissing, and KJ Apa liked to press my body against his muscular body. I got out of the water to dry off and wait for him on my lounge chair.
Then, the love of my life KJ came out of the swimming pool of his villa. I saw his sublime tall and muscular body glistening with drops of water. The New Zealand sun made the beauty of his sculpted body sparkle. He had suffered so much from the pressure of building a divine body and being reduced to a sexual object that KJ Apa was happy to see the love and desire in my eyes.
Without needing to snap his fingers, one servant prostrated to wipe his feet, another handed him back a towel which he hung around his waist, he took a juicy peach from the platter of fruit held out by a slave, carelessly spitting out the pit on the face of a slave who thanked him for spitting on him.
Then KJ Apa lay down on his lounge chair and reached out for me.
KJ APA: "Come here you 😏..."
I joined him on his lounge chair and began to lick the fallen peach juice dripping down his powerful chest.
KJ APA: "Footlicker! Come do your job!"
THE FOOT LICKER: "Yes Your Royal Highness"
He only said these 4 words, but the former boy who had grown up in contact with this alpha male loved his life. Sucking the toes to warm them with his mouth and licking the soles to soften them after contact with the water, the servant mainly cleaned the soles of you KJ.
This one saw Sean Peters in the distance following my husband's dog on all fours. This ugly fat man who once worked the set of Riverdale had been turned by KJ Apa into a dog poop eater, with no family or reputation to uphold, agreeing to stay in KJ Apa's service hadn't really been a choice. KJ Apa was madly in love with his dog, so he considered Sean Peters to find it honorable to be his dog's poop eater. Lying on the ground in the grass, Sean Peters was eating the droppings of the dog who ignored him.
To divert my husband's attention from this scene, which he found amusing but which was nevertheless disgusting, I began to kiss him, pull out his cock and lick his balls. I took them in the mouth, running my tongue down the length of the cock and sucking on the cocks head. However, KJ Apa did not want to ejaculate too soon. Even though he enjoyed eating fruit served on a platter and being fanned by palm fronds while getting sucked off by the love of his life, the licking of extra feet made this moment too....orgasmic.
KJ APA: "On your knees, my little loser! If you're a good friend you'll keep your back straight this time!"
THE FOOT LICKER: "Yes Your Royal Highness."
The footlicker positioned himself on all fours so the tall KJ Apa could stretch his legs. The weight of the feet did not hurt the slave's back too much, because he managed to overcome the arduousness of his situation to concern himself with the comfort of his master. This one appreciated the comfort of the back of the slave.

hii this is a jenna and matt fic!! its not a ship but it’s a nice small one that ive made up about matt coming to surprise jenna behind the stage of LEMONS!! i really hope you guys enjoy this so yeahh tysm!<3
Tumblr media
LEMONS SURPRISES
it was a cold breezy night in london, not for jenna and aiden of course! they had both only just finished their play called LEMONS(x5). clara and aiden bowed in front of their great audience “thank you!” yelled aiden, jenna had also yelled “have a great evening!” the curtains slowly began to go down as the audience whistled and clapped their hands together.
jenna and aiden went back stage, they had a few laughs together then went back to their dressing rooms. Jenna had a huge room, she was fixing her short blonde hair “what a mess..” she thought to herself “i dont even have much time left because i have to sign people’s posters and stuff” jenna was clearly tired from the show but she did whatever to make her audience happy. Jenna quickly put on her long black coat until she had two loud knocks on the door “come in!” called out jenna, it was one of the workers backstage, she turned around to look at the worker “yes?” the worker leaned his head against the door and said “there’s someone waiting for you, by the name matt” jenna looked confused “matt..” “matt!?” she exclaimed “but why would he come-“ jenna was speechless, actually she was too speechless. “Tell him I’ll be there in one moment!” the worker smiled and shut the door. Jenna began to brush her hair and fix her red lipstick, still repeatedly thinking “why is matt here?” “as in matt smith..the eleventh doctor!?”
eventually jenna looked better than before, she rushed out her room and noticed matts profile from the back, she’d never forget how tall he was compared to her. Matt didn’t notice jenna but she began to run towards matt, he was wearing a black hoodie, jeans and glasses “MATT!” jenna shouted. Matt heard jennas voice he turned around, this reminded him of when they were filming doctor who jenna used to trot around matt (matt actually said this just search what matt smith and jenna coleman will miss the most!!) “jenna!” matt exclaimed. Jenna jumped onto matt for a hug “what are you doing here?!” asked jenna as matt put her down “oh i just decided to surprise you after how many years..” “10 years” Matt’s face widened, pure shock! He began to slowly touch jennas face to see if she was actually real “10?! GOODNESS JENNA YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME FACE” matt yelled. Jenna mocked what he had just done to her “Boy you havent changed too” replied Jenna as she began to giggle, matt had the biggest smile “we definitely need to catch up on a few things” “y-“ jenna was cut off as she was told to go outside “wait there doct- matt! I just need to do this” Jenna began to walk off outside as matt watched her leave him again.
Jenna finished off giving her autographs to her fans who watched the show “sorry about that” chuckled jenna “it’s fine it’s fine” replied matt “so do you want to go out?” “excuse me?” giggled matt “no! as in to a cafe!” Matt nodded, jenna & matt began to sneak out of the theatre without paparazzi’s trying to take pictures of them and cause scandals again. The both of them had sunglasses on to hide their identity, they reached a cafe nearby luckily it was empty and just small. Matt and Jenna sat down on a table just for two “so you’ve definitely gotten bigger after that clara oswald role didnt you” jenna nodded “i do admit that I miss playing clara but I’m afraid she won’t be coming back” matt chuckled “same with me to be fair” jenna looked up at matt and smiled “i mean there’s a higher chance of you coming back since you played as the doctor although i hadn’t, i only played as a companion for two seasons like the others” jenna sighed “oh well, i wouldnt be able to probably anyway! Ive got house of the dragon” replied matt “fair enough” jenna ordered a coffee for herself and a cup of tea for matt without even asking him what he wanted “how did you know I wanted that?” asked matt “matt i think you forget how close we were before we split up, a cup of tea is your favorite part of the day haha” matts smiled began to fade. “I wish we could act in more stuff together jenna” jennas smiled dropped “me too but we’ve lost contact for 10 years and people would start to get suspicious over us” matt nodded at jennas comment “wish i was in the sandman with you” “as if!” matt laughed, “but really I do! I miss seeing you drink weird things in the morning” laughed matt.
Jenna and matt were handed their drinks “so hows tom?” Asked matt “tom? oh, we split up awhile ago” answered Jenna “who are you with now?” “Jamie” “jamie??” “childs, jamie childs” matt smiled “what about you Matt? there’s a scandal about you and milly alcock” matt raised an eyebrow “oh?” jenna smiled in a teasing way “it’s nice to see you two together” matt scratched his head in embarrassment “yeah yeah whatever” jenna giggled “remember the scandal of us two” mentioned matt “oh don’t remind me! my goodness!” Jenna gasped from that memory “those fake photos they did..lord!” Matt was laughing a little bit too hard “i wish we could go back in time” jenna muttered while she took a sip from her coffee “if you really want to act with me again how about we put a show on together? us two as the main cast?” suggested matt, jenna looked up at him? “but what at about?” asked jenna “all sorts! you can make it a comedy, musical, adventure mystery or maybe a romance..! people do say we play amazing as a couple” teased matt “oh shush” jenna laughed
the two of them talked about their ideas all night in the tiny cafe of london.

started ranting about doctor who to my gf and realized i actually have a lot of opinions (which start off summarizing hbomberguy's takes from the sherlock video but it was kind of a revelation for me) so if u want to hear them ive copypasted and edited them a bit for u guys under the cut <3
so like to set up how bad steven moffat is he explains why doctor who was so bad when moffat was the showrunner in a way ive been trying to articulate for years
basically he's a decent writer who was good at individual episodes that make reference to the doctors history but when it came to actually writing that history and the big events that would become the doctor's history he sucks so so so badly
like in the empty child he was amazing, he prioritized the story of the episode while giving the doctor an air of mystery and references a long and complicated backstory without compromising any charm or humor
but in the very first episode where he had reins on the entire show and its storylines he resorted to just a monologue from the doctor about how cool and special he is and that trend continued the whole time he was in charge. the entire universe suddenly revolved around the doctor
like. chibnall was clearly trying to subvert that by only using brand new aliens during his first season and having extra companions (three of them jesus christ) but he didn't address the heart of the problem and somehow made it even worse. the charm of the doctor was always that they were just a traveler bouncing around the universe and helping people or having fun or whatever
and of course there was always the tragic backstory and the genocide and being the last of his kind and all that but that always came second to the humans he loved!! the first time the master came back in tennant's run it was martha and her family and jack that saved him!! and chibnall tried to do that with yaz but it just didnt feel as impactful bc of how overpowering the master & timeless child plots were (dont even get me started on the timeless child shit retconning the entire history of the show to make the doctor quite literally the most important being in the universe)
moffat on the other hand went all over the place with it and wrote in intergalactic cults deadset on killing the doctor and when he did try to make companions special and important he completely took away their agency in the process
to me clara was a decent companion and had some great moments for me until she turned out to be not real or a metaphor or forgotten or dead or somehow retconned into existing since the show started in 1963 it was all so WEIRD and misses the point of making a companion important. it made her so important she lost her humanity imo
and then there was bill who also died and was mutilated beyond recognition and it just makes me think about how rtd never did that to companions. they were special not because of time magic or destiny or fucked up deaths but because they were just humans. with families. martha got to go back to her family. donna had to forget but she was happy in the end. rose was supposed to live out her life in the parallel universe with her own mortal doctor, and she did, but moffat STILL found a way to bring her back as a metaphor because his desire to deconstruct female companions into concepts and tragedies was just too strong
that's not even getting into what he did to river. or amy...
none of this is to say rtd is perfect of course, i'm really nervous to see how he deals with everything that's been thrown at the show in the past couple decades but considering he plans on staying for a while i really hope he manages to put a better twist on all of it. honestly the thing im most curious about is the special effects.. the show has been leaving very heavily on cg lately but chibnall did introduce a few decent practical effects and puppets so i hope rtd pushes for more of that. im getting off topic tho
that's all i have for now i hope u enjoyed and if u wanna discuss anything pls feel free although that's all the brainpower i have for today come back tomorrow <3

it is also unfortunate that two of twelves seasons were with clara because while i think their dynamic is fun in theory i still think that the actual writing for her wasn’t great. twelves real potential shines in s10 when he has different companions but sadly that is the Only Season It Happens

About the supposed "sessrin stans hate Moroha/Inukag shit is going on" it's obvious to say that's not true, a lot of sessriners are also inukag, but since (sadly) the loud minority of inukagers that are anti sessrin and that make the same hollow accusations as any other anti use both Moroha and Inukag to argue so that obviously result in fights between shippers and stans.
Like, at least I know next episode I will be sad as fuck and that it will be hard to see Moroha losing who was her mother figure lmao.
The same with the Towa and Setsuna new year wallpaper shit that happened like 3 weeks ago, Sessriners weren't mad with Inukagers that wanted a Moroha one too, they were mad at the ones that complained and talkked shit about the Twins (the twins, even more Towa, recieved a lot of negativity by antis that were also Inukagers, so that's why the sessrin part of the fandom became so over protective and sensitive about them)
Like, I bet if Sunrise would have done the opposite, releasing a Moroha new year pic, and Setsuna/Towa stans (surely would) complain about it then the Moroha stans would "hate" the twins as well.
We dont hate anyone, we love Moroha as much as any other Inukager, but sadly this sequel successfully managed to bring the worst out of everyone, and every side opted to generalize but I assure you all there no thing as a "Moroha" hater in this fandom. Obviously everyone has their own taste were you could like a character more than other, but Moroha is a lovable girl, just as the twins.
Im saying cuz we also saw the show, we also saw inukag struggle for like 7 seasons, we all got excited with their moments as well, but since certain part of the fandom has got a lot of negativity since last year the it's said part of the fandom would be extremely sensitive over everything, even if that means other fans hating on their favorite girl.
But yeah, sessriners love moroha too and will cry along inukagers, heck, these are the moments were I really dislike how this fandom was divided, just beacuse sessriners love that couple over Inukag doesn't mean they hate it.
Exactly, I don’t get way some people think that you must like just one, I always liked LOVED Inukag, I liked Inukik, Mirsan and of course wanted canon Sessrin in the future, AND IT’S CANON YESSSSSSS BRING THE TEQUILA 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 antis Can use Inukag and Moroha and that will not change canon, sorry not sorry.
The problem it’s that there always gonna be people jealous about another character having more spotlight and merch, in this story is clear that the twins have more focus because their origins were not clear and why did they get separated, why Setsuna can’t sleep, who raised her, why can’t She remember anything, why and how Towa ended living in the future and with whom will she stay? While with Moroha we knew that she was Inukag baby and we also hope that she will get reunited with her parents and live happily ever after (or at least me because I’m a softie and she is so cute I’m gonna die).
I will continue to ignore the twins haters angry that Moroha is not the absolute protagonist, it’s clear tho that they have never seen a spin off of another fictional piece where the focus was another side character and it shows. And I’m not saying that Moroha does not deserve to be protagonist, to me she is already, it’s just that there are many things with the twins that must be resolved.
Like Velvet, have anyone here watched Velvet? I’m still on season 4th but I know that Velvet Collection it’s about Clara and the protagonist just appear in the first 2 episodes. It’s a similar case here duh.

Possibilities/Comparisons & Differences & Parallels with -A
ok so this might be a bit of a thing so im gonna put the read more thing BUT IMPORTANT THING: in what you read below the read more line, i am putting it out there bluntly and truthfully as i have said and feel outloud as well as told others this same line because they are believers in this doctor who is real thing: I never have nor do i nor will i ever want someone else’s place in life let alone their spot, if you want to call it, in another’s life. Each person is their own and you cant change who you are, you can’t be someone else because you’re not them. Whatever and Whoever I am, is all i want and like anyone believing any of this is real, i too want to be completely in all/any of their lives, even if its just working along side, spending time with and developing any sort of relationship with them here on Earth. Anything more than that, I am here for them and other loved ones in anyway they want. If that means traveling and people want me along or working for any such organizations, i accept that but i dont expect it. I am myself and all i want to know if what and who I fully am as time passes.
I will say this again: these are possibilities, comparisons, parallels. I am NOT stating these as facts and i refuse to come off in any such way that puts me in a selfish negative light. Anyone is entitled to think however they feel off the things i put below the read more, i am merely just stating things ok? ok.
NOW, parallels and comparisons and differences and possibilities you may ask, with what or who? Clara Oswald, the Impossible Girl.
1) Where Clara lost her mother when she was young but still has her dad, i lost my dad when i was young but still have my mom.
2) the dream of the real version of the 11th incarnation of the Doctor in the backyard of my house, the adventure action that ensued, we were running together in the direction of the woods and he said in a urgent/desperate tone of voice with seriousness “You need to remember me Clara” or have to but it was words like that & it was just me and him in the dream.
3) we look eerily similar in most if not all aspects.
4) Where she was an only child, i have 5 older brothers and 1 older sister.
Note: taking the differences into account, there is this theory that they exist so that the similarities wouldnt be noticed and the differences would make it far fetched, names changed and things to protect the truth ya know? 
5) with waking reality to sleeping realoty, the sense of having an old soul and living/having countless other lives too / with Clara being impossible??
6) from meaningful blogs to quotes to songs to videos that pop up in ways they dont make sense to be showing themselves because anything viewed it appears with, they are completely unrelated to each other/ they keep popping up and with this THEORY, especially with CLara, Clara & the Doctor, especially the line “You are the only mystery worth solving”
7) with number six: Clara, things involving the Tardis and this life being mentioned when said videos and other stuff are completely unrelated to each other.
8) in public, hearing ‘Clara’ by others.
9) her whole thing with ravens {those and or crows} are the most kinds of birds constantly seen, heard by me and are around me.  {other birds too but relative to other meanings they stand for} {the meanings of seeing and hearing these birds, themselves}
10) everything with the leaves : fall/autumn has always been my favorite season and i always see more big leaves then the little ones, especially the ovate leaves and the maple leaves, especially in orangish redish brown colors. This ofc the leaves thing when it comes to Clara.
11) Where she was going to be a teacher and going between options before choosing, i did the same thing but i chose something else ; i had wonderings and thoughts about being a teacher and people told me that as a suggestion like they could see me doing it. And whenever i thought about it, i thought about doing the younger kids which is what Clara did.
12) Like with 11, Where Clara babysits and is good with kids, i have babysat and being an aunt, i have been told im great with kids and would be a good mom.
13) the kind of aura/vibe Clara would give as an old soul/restless/always here or there/here but not really here/countless lives/etc: A person who believes in this doctor who is real thing , is also really intuitive says and went into detail about how and why i give off that same vibe and how she only ever felt it from one person before, but who was that person?
14) were eerily similar in personality / things we say / act/carry ourselves, ideals and beliefs.
15) the dream with the Eleventh Doctor with him telling me “You need to/have to remember me Clara!”... what if instead of the Doctor forgetting, i forgot as he intended?
----------------------------------
This will be part 1 but additional information to add will be in a future part {s} bc i don’t want this one too long.

hopes for s13 and brief review of s12?
okok ik s12 just aired but--- hear me out skjskyjs
i really liked this season, wouldn't say i loved it, but still liked it. we got a proper storyline unlike in s11 and some(?) character development, the soundtrack was good - which it also was in s11 - and i loved that they brought the master back.
yet i cant help but be quite annoyed about some things in this season.
the master:
like i said i loved that they brought the master back BUT how can we not have missy mentioned at least once. if this master is an incarnation after missy he for sure would have mentioned her at least once to spite the doctor and hurther even more by her having failed missy or something like that. and if he was an incarnation before missy i'm pretty sure that the doctor would have mentioned her at least once. it just feels like everything that missy hat going for her during s9/10 got thrown out of the window and i highkey do not like that.
i really hope that in s13 we will get some closure on that because i don't really believe we've seen the last of the master yet.
angst? things?
something that bothered me and a lot of others with the doctor in s11 was that it felt like the doctor lacked something the other new who doctors always had and that had just become part of the doctors character over the years.
i'm talking about the darkness, the anger, the sadness.
and i know we got some of that in s12 which i LIVED for btw because i am a huge sucker for angst. but (i'm going to use this word so much in this blog thingy skjs) we never really had an anger moment that made one go "oh damn" like we had with the previous doctors. i mean matt smith had one of those moments in his second episode.remember how he had this cold anger towards amy for pressing the forgot button about the starwhale situation because she didn't want the doctor to have to make a decision - so basically making the decision for him - and how he then screamed at everyone in fury. those are the kinds of moments im talking about and i feel like we haven't had one of those with the thirteenth doctor yet. (i love her anyways because i am basically whipped for her but still)
and i know many, many people like exactly that about her and say that it's refreshing to see a doctor that didn't embody those things and this is obviously just my opinion. i just feel like the doctor isn't really the doctor withthout some characteristics and that's one of them. (maybe its just me growing up with him always being like that that makes me miss it so much now)
and this is definitely not jodies fault because she's a great actress and more than capable of doing a scene like that - she just wasn't given the right material to work with.
the companions:
so this will be quite short because i only have two things to say
1. character development.
it's been two seasons and i'm still not quite sure what kind of people yaz, graham and ryan are and thats just-- not good.
i think they introduced too many characters at the same time and thats why they could barely pull of any character development. would've enjoyed it more if they did something like in s5 where amy travels alone with the doctor for half the season - we get an idea of who she is, ect - and then properly introduced rory.
2. HUGS
where are the good old hugs? thirteen deserves a hug and if she goes of the show without being higged at least twice i will RIOT and steal chris chibnalls identity to rewrite doctor who.
the only hug thirteen got was when she hugged najia khan. yaz' mum. like---
clara oswald would NOT have let this happened
y'all remember when i said i only had like two points about this? i was lying
rule 1
3. death
okay so if there is one hope i have for the next season that i want to happen more than any of the others it's
DO NOT KILL THE FAM OFF
not because i love them so much (i mean i do love them but--)
but because its getting quite boring at this point.
the last three companions have all been (more or less) killed off in some way. amy and rory being taken by the weeping angels and dying of old age, clara being killed by the raven thing, bill being converted into a cyberman.
don't even need a huge donna situation. maybe just have them go on their own, deciding it'd be better to stay home now, like martha did in the end of s3.
that'd be refreshing.
i'm exited for how theyll decide to let the fam go especially since there are rumors that tosin (ryan) and bradley (graham) will be leaving the series.
maybe have ryan realize that all of that traveling is too risky for him after all and that he wants to stay in sheffield and have graham stay with him because he wants to look out for his grandson.
i don't know what to do with yaz tbh because i doubt they'd keep her as a companion for three full seasons with that little character development, ect. maybe have her stay and then go mid-season? idk
regeneration:
i think we all know its coming. the doctor is probably going to regenerate at the end of s13 or around the christmas/new years special. and while i'm not ready to let her go yet because i feel like they could do so much more with her character and i just lover her so much, i don't think they'll make her stay for four seasons. the longest run any doctor had was three seasons so thats why i'm assuming she's going in s13. (i dont fucking want her to go i cant - - - - -)
so if they make her regenerate i hope that they'll do two things:
have her have a memorable speech, doesn't have to be as deep and heart clenching as the one 12 had (i'm still crying about it) but maybe something along the lines of 10 would be nice. but just beacuse i love angst.
the other thing i'm hoping for is that she won't regenerate into a man just yet. not because i want to push some fEmInIsT aGeNdA but because i feel like there are many things that can still be explored with a female doctor - ESPECIALLY HISTORY WISE. yeah we got some of that during the with trials (was that the episodes title? not sure) in season 11 but 1 episode out of 372802275110 (ok i just smashed the numbers on my keyboard but still). have her explore some more of the struggles women in the past had to go and sometimes still go through.
jack:
let me tell y'all something
if they just brought jack back for those 5 minutes in s12 where he didn't even directly interwct with the doc and won't bring him back in s13 i WILL throw hands.
i need a thirteen and jack reunion with jack hugging thirteen tight and lifting her up from the ground and spinning them around while she's still in the air in his arms, grinning like a freaking retard beCAUSE I AM SOFT LIKE THAT
i'll probably do a blog about the things that i really liked about s12, because i feel like it seems like i hated s12 which i really didn't just kinda sad and disappointed (ex. the jack situation) about some things

I was tagged by @vildeliens thank you Queen (of clowns and headcanoons) ❤️
Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions, don’t cheat. Tag 10 (or however many) people.  
Oz
Skam France
The Walking Dead
Doctor Who
Torchwood
1. Who is your favourite character in 2? Well that one is easy as hell. Lucas Lallemant, without the shadow of a doubt. I just adore that boy... I really do believe that he’s the most developed character of the whole skam universe. Also, i relate to him so so much, being parisian and 17 and queer and just, globally similar. And that Acting (TM) sure helps (will i ever be over axel’s acting? I dont think so)... I am gonna stop before i write essays (you all think this is a joke but i actually write random stuff about Lucas when i get bored in class, thats how bad it is). I just really love this boy folks...
2. Who is your least favourite character in 1? Well that’s an easy one too. Vernon Schillinger, because he is a neonazi, which is enough. And he is just plain BAD (rapist, murderer, coward, blackmailer... you name it)... And it’s not even a love hate situation, i despise the guy so  much, he makes me wanna crawl off my skin whenever he is on screen. Also i think he’s quite one dimensional which is very weird for that show but yeah. He is The Bad Guy.
3. What is your favourite episode of 4? Well that’s a harder one lmao, because you know, the show has been going on since 1963, which means i have many many favourites... Imma go only with reboot, cause thats the one i know better and i have to say it’s the one i enjoy the most. I think my all time fave is the two parts one, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, because those are just so perfect in every aspect imo. But i also love love love the library arc from season 4 (i think lmao) because KUDOS FOR MAKING US INSENSITIVE ABOUT A CHARACTER’S DEATH ONLY FOT IT TO KILL US LATER (and overall the episodes are so so good). Also, because i’m a hoe for big dramatic moments, the episodes with the Master (end of s3 and end of s4 mainly, i dont really like Missy) and the two parts The Stolen Earth/Journey’s end (i remember being so hyped by all of them squading up). Also, it’s not an episode but it deserves its place there: the entire season 6. Because Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Alex Kingston and Arthur Darvill are just so good. I didnt really enjoy seasons 8 to 10 (even tho i adore Peter Capaldi), but season 7 also has some that i loved (Angels in Manhattan and The Name of the Doctor killed me). And the 50th anniversary. I MEAN THIS IS COMPLICATE I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH IT HAS SO MANY GOOD EPISODES (and it’s the first show i got obsessed with so theres that)
4. What is your favourite season of 5? I think i’ll go with season 2 (?), because i love the og squad and they were all in it in s2, and i think the arcs were done really well (and the last episode, haha, me dead)... S3 and 4 i enjoyed less cause i think the teams didn’t really work without Tosh, Owen and Ianto... I couldn’t really find that magic again (and yes i’m still bitter). 
5. Who is your favourite couple in 3? It’s hard to find ALIVE people to form couples with lmao so i’ll go with one that is in kinda stand-by... it’s complicate...  Rick and Michonne cause i loved how they were best friends first and how their whole story was built... It made a lot of sense to me. Also i love the show less nowadays but i think those are still strong characters (minus Rick now lol)
6. Who is your favourite couple in 2? I had to snort. I know, it’s going to surprise you all, but it’s Manon and Charles OF COURSE. Kidding (pls. break. them. up). It’s Eliott and Lucas (how many of you all are surprised) because. Do i need to explain. Just. Everything. I can’t even put it into words. they’re just a perfect match and so in tune and so in love and i should stop now but i won’t so i’m sorry. I love how they complete each other and understand each other, and i loved how Lucas made Eliott’s dream real (polaris), and i love how they arent perfect yet they learn with each other and they make each other better . I love how cute they look and how in love and how raw. I love the way Lucas’ voice softens when he talks to eliott, and the way eliott’s eyes are so full of wonder. Also the way they fight sometimes but always come back to each other and love stronger. And their ship names literally means “chosen one”, how could I not ship? LISTEN THEY JUST FIT OKAY AND I WONT TAKE ANY CRITICISM
7. What is your favourite episode of 1? oh god i don’t remember them all at all lmao but imma try to come up with one (not 22838 like i normally do). So i’d say 4x11 (revenge is sweet)?? but honestly the show is so continuous that its hard to choose one ep... id say s4 is my favourite hands down though
8. What is your favourite episode of 5? YES THAT I CAN!! it’s from season 1, even though i love s2 better overall, Countrycide. I loved everything about that ep, and it still sends shivers down my spine when i think about it. I particularly enjoyed how it depicted the team’s relationships and how it showed that monsters can be amongst mankind (which, we been knew, but still. it was very well done for a show that fights aliens to fight humans)
9. What is your favourite season of 2? Another easy one! Season 3, as my entire blog can attest. It’s just. A masterpiece. That’s it that’s the post.
10. How long have you watched 1? I bingewatched it in like two months (cause i had to take breaks because school) in 2016. It’s a show that ended around 2000 so it’s not like i HAD to wait, and the episodes aren’t really stand alone so i had to watch them in a row.
11. How did you become interested in 3? I started watching with my dad because he is a cinephile that shows me loads of movies and tv series, then showed it to my mom. And now my dad stopped watching so i watch it with my mom exclusively even though i dont enjoy as much as i used to (still love it though). 
12. Who is your favourite actor in 4? Matt Smith (even though i adored Eccleston, and couldn’t appreciate Tennant’s AMAZINGNESS cause i was too sad to see 9 go aoimjdk). But Matt Smith is the funniest, most Doctor-ish one imo.
13. Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5? This is gonna sound like a betrayal to shows i’ve watched for so many years but Skam France, hands down. (i’m obsessed okay)
14. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? 3 because it has more eps and i’m caught up with both, so logically its 3.
15. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? Umh i think i’m kinda similar to Clara in some ways (?). Maybe. Like in the way we’re both hopeless romantic in search of an adventurous life. Plus, she is a lgbt+ icon and you can’t convince me otherwise so there’s that. i mean i think i globally identify with companions cause i wanna be them so bad lmao (imagine how cool it would be for my nerdy self ugh). But i look like a Sontaran so. Mayhaps i’d be one of those instead
16. Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work? umh that’d be funny as hell. The Doctor just jumping in a zombie apocalypse. Though i think they’d find a way to stop the apocalypse, so the second show would be annihilated by the first one. Mmh. Interesting still, up for it (i’m up for anything tbh)
17. Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? That’s the hardest one i had to answer GOD. I’d go with the crack ship, Ryan O’Reilly and Miguel Alvarez, tho they would both kill me and then burn my body if they ever saw this
18. Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? Weeeelll i think The Walking Dead used to have an amazing storyline (the Governor’s arc was spectacular), but now i’d go with Torchwood cause sometimes (a lot of times), shows that don’t try to make it last for ages tie everything better. And Torchwood did tie things well enough imo (even tho i’m forever sad and bitter)
19. Which has the better theme music, 2 or 4? I don’ think Skam France has a theme music?? more like soundtracks (amazing ones)??? But i mean even if it did Doctor Who would still win cause the themes are fantastic (yes i went there)
This was so fun guys so imma tag @evnisak, @isak-valterssen, @jebentnietalleen, @demauryy, @srodvlv, @takaoparadise, @starcassstic, @thebananaslug, @sleepingthroughmyproblems, @akalousthings and anyone else i forgot, or anyone wanting to do this really

me: anyway im gonna stop ranting about doctor who
me: but also here’s my latest ramble
each time ive tried ranting about some of these more recent instalments (”recent” - s7 onwards,which isnt but listen) of new who, ive deleted them and screamed because i’d end up following extremely long, convoluted tangents - ones even too convoluted for, like, me rambling under a read more. see, the thing is?? everything is so.. interwoven- the faults, feeding into other faults- and its HARD to describe why its so . Eh! sometimes because for one, im awful with words and for two there’s a lot, but also barely anything, and i think thats actually a good description in of itself with whats wrong???
LIKE personally ithink... mid season 6 is perhaps the place where i think it starts going downhill. perhaps thats just because i loathe A Good Man goes to War because its the beginning of just that. what could have been a momentous episode ultimately fell flat, through sloppiness. honestly, i think that would have been an epic climax just there, for all the reasons the end of s4 was - all of the experiences the doctor went through, finally being reaped, as all people he’s saved and befriended come back to help him  and the whole thing SHOULD coalesce beautifullu but instead it had so many fallbacks. like.... jenny/strax/vastra who i all adore as a dynamic, and want more of, but they dont makeSENSE to appear as mains - not when the doctor has 6 seasons (+26 more, if you really reached) of actual content to draw from. why would you bring in characters we have no emotional connection with? as fodder would be fine, but to have them... be centre stage was so weird and its LITTLE things like that and in the very way the grandiosity COULD have coalesced in that episode, instead its the absolute opposite in all these tiny details seem to band together and drag it down. 
insteadthe execution feels increasingly hollow, and stale and i think thats, like, very much a signature fault of moffats writing (other than the sleazebag perv undertones, lmao) because he keeps doingthis thing where hes so overly ambitious with doctor who - and the nature of the show is somemthing i could ramlble aimlessly about, and get nowher in another read more somewhere, just like ia m now, but LISTEN!!! liek doctorwho is s- AND I HAD TO BACKSPACE EVERYTHING I WROTE, because this keeps devolving into that aforementioned, aimless rant about the nature of who but LISTEN. 
point is, moffat attempts to create a masterpiece with that just in mind. you know, like, when that happens? i hate trying to knock on ppl bc i realise this is a statement in reference to many ppl- andsorry, like. tbh i dont care how ppl write for the most part, bc they caan Do their thing but sometimes llike.... YOU KNOW those people who sometimes write, and theyre oh so fixated on the product rather than actually telling a narrative? RPing (since, like, RPing when i was 10) wise, ive met many people who, when constructing a characters backstory, would try to make “the angsiest, most heartbreaking, SADDEST THING IN THE WORLD :’’(”  and rather than focussing on the actual narrative, they’d fixate on that?????  like moffat... DOES that. he tries to make something extremely clever; he sits himself down, and he thinks WHATS GOING TO REALLY, REALLY SHOCK PEOPLE? perhaps that works for people- but the whole reverse engineering from the effect i want, and working backwards sometimes, often, loses sight of itself, and  all the potential of wht COULD have been an awesome narrative is... AGAIN, HOLLOW? because somewhere along the line, he forgot to...actually write the story, and to give us something to feel for and to be wowed by and instead made it more his mission to tangle up a ball of messy plot-string to make us go WOW! :3 and even that . just falls FLAT in the end 
s7 clara the-impossible-giirl is the epitome of jsut that- a character who exists to serve that eventual payoff, except it isnt much of a payoff when she makes the sacrifice to save everything because they ... REALLY DID just forget to give her a personality and her life outside the tardis- like.. THE FACT THEY DIDNT SHOW THAT SHE WAS A TEACHER UNTIL S8 WAS SO, SO FUCKING WILD. really wild. she just needed something- more motivation- a purpose  for her to exist other tha the fact [jazz hands] SHE’S AN ENIGGMAAAA, BABEY! which really wasnt helped at all by the fact she has NO chemistry with smith
and clara.... well, in my opinion she improves?? over time, until the end at least. like she was BETTER with capaldi, in my opinion, as they had more of a... relationshpthat complimented each other and a dynamic that was far more refeshing and something newer but also very reminiscent of old who with the SACE GRANDAD kinda energy going on but also  her bringing him down when he was Like That, and him bringing her down when she was Like That- and season 9, where she tries becoming the doctor is something else i would REALLY enjoy (untl they ruined it) but still there was still always that element of quite missing the mark, because things were still off the mar but i dont think AS bad-i think s7 was the peak of everythings a fucking mess and s8&s9 are variable and i think i have to go into both of those? to really pick them apart, becase like...
speaking to s8, seeing more insight into clara’s actual.. YOU KNOW... LIFE and who she is as a teacher is a lot better and a lot of the time i just try to ignore the fact s7 even happened(because her existence... as a nanny... i cant remember if that EVER even comes babck up again, or if the fucking FAMILY SHE LIVED WITH FOR A YEAR EVEN MATTERS ANY MORE??? BECAUSE IT JUST- i think whats the worst about her (speaking as a whole) is the inconsistency, and she suddenly just BECOMES a teacher in s8 and thats now a big thing i guess??? what would have made more sense, would be if she was introduced as that in s7- and i think it would hve been beneficial then, too, and would have given her more depth then but instead it feels like theey just cobbled it together in s8 when they realised “god we didnt think about this!!” and the whole danny pink... thing. yoou know?personally, i believe i’d quite like the danny/clara conundrum a lot more if perhaps? instead of having them, UH, YOU KNOW!! just meet there and then in s8 and then him suddenly becoming her whole life, like- it wouldd have been.... easier if they were already dating in s7??? which would have mde her devotion to him all he more ... realistic. what i was thinking was perhaps she’s instead whisked away from him in s7, and then cmes back in s8 and he’s. also MORE in focus? like i think he was cclose to actually being a good facet of the show, and i like the conflict and conversation between both him and the doctor- him forcing the doctor to, like, wake the fuck up about some shit- but i think it would have been more effective if he had a greater present and came along once or twie into more episodes and then maybe it would have felt like his death was also. a loss and not just a plot device you know and - IM RAMBLING HERE IM SORRY IM LSOJGN STEAM AND IM JUST MAD BUT I THINK. LISTEN.
S9. I NEED TO RAMBLE ABOUT S9 TOMORROW WHEN IM NOT DEAD BC THATS WHAT THIS STARTED OFF OUT AND SPOILE RALERT I LIKE WHAT S9 WAS TRYING TO DO BUT I PERSONALLY THINK THE WHOLE THING SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESTRUCTURED, AND-

aye, really starting to loathe the “yaz kills either graham/ryan whilst under the dalek influence” like-
1. first of all. hate this presumption that graham/ryan have to die. personally, im fine with companions dying - clara’s penultimate exit in face the raven was done beautifully, i think, and i will FOREVER resent them not leaving it like that. however with graham and ryan? literally, i just feel like... it’s so cheap. it offers nothing, babes! and it’s just infinitely LESS interesting than if you just kept them alive.
all the companions, in my opinions, still lack development. i do love them! i really am warming to them. but we’re two seasons in, and the fact of the matter remains they just... haven’t gelled too well with the show proper and they aren’t as fully realised as they should be by this point. and frankly, its not one singular problem moreso it’s an interwoven web of issues (hence it’s hard to really unpick that, without unravelling the whole mess) that have affected the show completely. the point is, despite being here so long, they just still feel so unexplored as people and a little unknown to us and idk!!! i think killing them, wouldn’t offer much in the way of anything interesting - other than, like i said, a very cheap way to instigate tragedy, and springboard some trauma-induced development for yaz&13 - because we aren’t really gaining more than we’re losing here, man.
clara’s exit in face the raven WORKED because it had been building up to it all season. i also dont like amy/rory’s exits (but that’s v potentially my own biases) but theoretically, i can see the vision for that- and the reason why that would be so tragic, is BECAUSE amy&rory are so fully formed at tht point that that loss hits. im not sayin graham&ryan dying would NOT be sad, but it’s... just too soon, still, for me. and when, narratively speaking, they’ve been setting up them thinking about leaving anyway? at least, ryan has? just doesn’t feel quite right at all and just like i said: a pointless attempt, at taking their exits, and doing weird tragedy shit with it for the sake of it.
especially when the ALTERNATIVE is they can stay on in the same way martha did: on earth, totally fine, and with the opportunity to reappear in later seasons. they can progress offscreen in ways that can be satisfying, in the way martha did. she moved on; she became someone different; and yet that change was still guided by what we had seen. same can be done with ryan and graham, finishing their stories and making them all the more satisfying.
2. piggybacking off of that. literally, this scenario of yaz killing them: what would that DO for yaz exactly? like.. what big payoff are u expecting from her? you’re just... horrifically traumatising her. and im wondering, like- where would that leave her in s13?  because she’s supposed to still be here, then, and supposedly travelling with the doctor. and again it just feels so damn cheap: because yaz really does still feel like she’s at the beginning of her story, despite being here for two years (and god am i a little mad abt that; it’s so, so sad that she really could be replaced with a cardboard cutout for most of s11). explore what we HAVE of her, first, before trying to go so damn dark with her. it’s not going to have the payoff you want. you have to work a bit more, to do something like that first. using some fucked up shit like that, just as a springboard for character development it just- it feels so damn lazy to me...  and again, i do not feasibly see how this could properly segue into s13 on that damn note. like the conse
3. and just... god in general. i just. okay again with chibbers and his writing. literally i dont want to sound so negative abt chibnall bc like SOME ppl really do just fucking attack . KILL. over every damn thing, without a breath and its like... okay babe. okay. and i mean, granted i can be a little like tht with moffat tbh - and so  i get ppl do get a little FERVENT when it comes to shit they dont like but- BUT MY POINT IS. i really dont hate-hate this era of who. s7 will still be my least favourite, even if i do still regard this all as bottom of the pile stuff- and that is frustrating, because it really does have potential! but anyway god. what was my fucking point. oh yeah. chibnall. if this was the case.... if this really did fucking happen. god no offence but fucking hell i do not trust chibnall to treat such a heavy scene well enough. not with the way s11 and s12 have been. and its just because... again this is all the WEB OF ISSUES with these seasons... but all of it just boils down to: every single script really needed a second or third pass over. ITS LIKE, things are kinda right, but its always jsut...wrong and its soi many things that just dont quite work and  instead all work in tandem to bring this ship down.
too many companions, leading to a bloated tardis; leading to none of them getting enough focus; leading to weaker characters whose dynamics with each other aren’t always hitting. there’s swathes of s12, where the doctor is just completely disconnected from the companions altogether. she just doesnt talk to them. and there’s a difference between her being detached, and her just.... LITERALLT FORGETTING THEY EXIST. i remember- was it ryan who disappears at one poimt, and she JUST DOESNT NOTICE? and then all of them disappear in fugitive? like its just so... the companion-docgtor relationship is so INTEGRAL to the whole show!!! it makes story beats less effective; not even that, the whole energy is brought down, because they just don’t TALK properly (and the dialogue... good god, is it stiff: and whilst i hated 11′s era of mutated LOL THAT’S SO RANDOM. THE HORSE IS NAMED SUSAN. BOWTIES FEZ FEZ HOW MANY MARKETABLE RANDOM SHIT CAN WE THROW AT THE PAAAGE it felt like characters were bouncing off each other... there’s now these long pauses, places where it should have been snappier, awkward remarks thrown in there and then) . it, again, bloats EVERYTHING bc half the time you have to just give stuff for these ppl to do and its like man, why! why ! its all so.... sloppy in a way that’s sad bc it was ALMOST right. things are ALMOST right here but it doesnt QUITE work and it needs pulling together into something neater, tighter.  AND GIVEN ALL OF THAT. i do not think, with the way he’s been handling things, this man would ever be capable of pulling off something as fucked up like that in a way that has any weight even disregarding the two above points
4 lastly. just fucking dont kill ryan man. c’mon. how many main, black characters have we had? hmm, let’s see. martha, mickey, danny, bill. we’re going at a 50% survival rate, with the other two facing pretty poor treatment in the writing room in general. no, im not letting it go: you cant literally refer to mickey, who was the first, like, leading black character on the show, as a fucking DOG repeatedly.  if you’re gonna decide to diversify the tardis, pay your dues; dont fucking axe him for what, again, really just feels like empty emotional tortureporn. ryan deserves better.

talk about doctor who, i must
hot take, but season 10 of doctor who could have been... literally been one of the best seasons yet? had it not been for the three-parter in the middle of it, the episodes were all pretty solid - the monk trilogy, ofc, could have been good but the whole thing was all over the place (weird... seems like having a different writer per episode DOES that) and it dragged on too long. otherwise theres really cool episodes in there. plus, although the mystery box shtick was kinda just in there and wasn’t something i was that big of a fan of (for quite  a few reasons) it wasnt the usual moffat series-arc bullshit of him trying to make it overly complicated, and “clever” (read: making an arse of himself). thankfully, most of that bullshit had kind of come to a close by this point, so he just had one season left to do and that gave him the necessary constraints so he wouldnt fuck it all up by going ham.
 moreover season 10 literally had one of the best companions in years?? like perhaps thats entirely personal preference, but bill was SUCH a fresh air after fucking clara had been dragged out for almost 3 years and her character hit the ground running after literally one scene (which sounds basic, but again after clara). nardole was also a generally nice addition, and something fresh & different fro the show,  and whilst i think they could have utilised missy better than they did (especially bc this was michelle gomez’s last hurrah, and shes INCREDIBLE)  they had some rlly nice scenes with her i think. 
but people trashed it for such. stupid fucking things. like bill saying she was gay  too much or people whine about the doctor saying “historys a whitewash” when thats just...? the truth???!?!!  or they harped on it for stupid things, like- people whined about the episode SMILE because bill said the word “emoji” and idiots thought “HaHA yEah EMoJi EpisodE hoW bAd” when it was nothing like that?? it wasn’t capitalising off of emojis or anything of the sort. instead... the literal whole thing.... was about technology and the rise of intelligent systems and how AI, despite how much we try to humanise it, will never be human  and will never be capable of understanding our morality and how expecting it to is dangerous??? 
and there were some genuinely just. nice episodes man. likee theres problems here and theres problems there but like- even when that was the CASE, i think the new vibe that this season brought made even THOSE feel better? which reminds me SO much of Russel’s era - where, yes, episodes like The Idiot’s Lantern weren’t good but I think they were still way more enjoyable than a bad Moffat episode if that makes any sense??????
and yes like. like it wasnt PERFECT? like, theres parts i would change- and im actually,... dont @ me but im considering doing a fic for the first time in years reworking it all because. im of the pERSONAL BELIEF that heather should have been there for at least the first quarter  and that missy’s storyline felt very tackled on and only was there to serve as the obligatory mystery box (which it didnt have to be, and i think the time we could have spent with her in earlier episodes would have been far more valuable than for moffat to do one last clever “gotcha” moment - that literally EVERYONE predicted anyway) and i think it could have also, in general, just been integrated better??? like- LIKE-
THE FINALE  is what throws this into such a stark light in my opinion - second only to the fact they didnt know where to put missys reasoning for being inside the vault, and shoved it into extremis(i think? some part of the monk trilogy) where it really didnt work.  but anyways with the finale... i think the problem with it was, was there was all that buildup and then the story focussed too much on the cybermen that the whole two masters gimmick just kind of went underutilised. and i would never want to sacrifice the story we got with the cybermen (world enough of time is in my top few episodes)  but i think that whole shtick shoul have been restructured differently. like it felt like they deserved their own separate finale - which, god, i would love it if season 10 had gone onto season 11 which is WILD bc i am happier than anyone else to ger rid of moffat but this season was just so LOVELY you know?????????
(and also as a side note: i know ppl at the time complained about s10 being too political, but like... the fact ppl complain about s11 being MORE political somehow is confounding. i stand by the fact that a lot of s11 was lukewarm in terms of making any  stands for anything, if that makes sense. however im looking through s10′s epi list and honestly like.............. no offence but i felt like this run was way more political than s11 but we all know why ppl say the latter is huh.)
