OKAY OKAY I JUST WATCHED THE CHRISTMAS EP HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS:
I didn’t cry but I did feel wildly nauseous sooooo… I think I’m gonna cry like a week from now when it hits me lmao
I think the ending is nice. Like I like how in s1 they wanted mike and alison out because they hated them but now they wanted them to leave because they love them. And I think the ghosts will be able to cope with a hotel, I mean they’ve had NOTHING to do for decades and centuries, having a bustling hotel (and presumably their own dedicated area where they can chill) will be good for them. Pat can come up with so many new club ideas, cap and fanny can gossip about the people, thomas and kitty and trail behind people, julian and robin can still mess around. Who knows, maybe pat’s family or maybe rachel come and stay for a few nights for whatever reason.
Of course they’ll miss alison but she’ll visit them often, they’re family, that’s what you do. Do I wish alison stayed? Of course I do, but I think every party involved is happy with their lives/afterlives.
Someone mentioned that it was a very mature way to end the show, and I agree. It’s very bittersweet and I completely understand why most people are upset with it, but I think it really shows how the ghosts grew from very selfish people to committing an extremely selfless act.
I’ll make more posts about certain moments and so on but right now I’m off to listen to the podcast episode!

I've only been a Doctor Who fan for a few weeks, but the husbands of river song is probably one of the best episodes. As someone who loves any episode that includes River Song and having the 12th doctor as my favorite. It's just full of so many little details of how they really love each other. Twelve getting jealous of River kissing other men and calling them her husband, twelve constantly trying to hint to her he's The Doctor, her love declaration for the Doctor thinking he doesn't love her, him asking why she looks sad about her diary, "Hello, Sweetie", and 24 years in a single night. Need I go on? I wish they got more than that one episode together. The ending makes me sob because of how romantic and sad it is because the next time River sees the Doctor, she's going to die. What's worse, he won't even remember who she is.
#the husbands of river song#rewatching on christmas#im about to have wine and watch another doctor special#but seriously they might be one of my favorite ships ever#theres so many things in this episode that make me giggle#and the ending really makes me want to rip out my heart#doctor who

7th Age Valinor Concept: devaluation of the Silmaril. Some brilliant baby or simply the combined effort of years of knowledge cracks the code on Silmaril technology and suddenly they can be made en masse. Because the Two Trees are dead and Varda isn’t handing out blessings anymore, the new Silmarils aren’t quite as stunning as the ogs, the same way mass produced tech is never as fancy as the prototypes. Less psychically devastating hope beam and more sexy SAD lamp. Those bright white beams they put on new cars. Every elf under 3000 has a hi wattage ultra diamond or three on them and their elders can’t decide if it’s horrifically disrespectful or so voiddamned funny.
#the silmarillion#baby elf with a silmaril knockoff around their neck ‘yeah I don’t see the point why did those old guys go to war anyway?’#‘mine are actually a little bigger :)’#their grandfather about to launch into one of Peepaw’s Special Little Rants#anyway Elwing commissions them just to use them as doorstops#someone in Valinor invents LED lights and a religious schism ensues#rip Tolkien elves! you would have liked light pollution so much#until you realized it made it harder to see the stars#seventh age Valinor a glittering neon metropolis with the equivalent of a year round Christmas light display#but everything has to be turned OFF after two hours so we can appreciate varda’s good work#blackout curtains in every house timers on every street lamp

60th Anniversary Doctor Who Rewatch – “The Unquiet Death” takes
(Hello. This is part of a series of on-going posts covering my analysis / impressions of RTD-era doctor who episodes (and spin-offs?) as I revisit them.* The **approach of this is candid and informal, with aim to be cleaned up in the future.*)
(I’m dividing this analysis into the following categories:COMPANION WATCH(characterization analysis of the companion for that episode)/THE TIMELESS CHILD RETROACTIVE CONTINUITY BONUS (stuff that Hits Different after knowing the TTC)/ **BLORBOS(things that made me emotional re: characters / ships) THEMES(exploration of possible associations, metaphors and recurring themes)/ COLONIALISM/HEGEMONY (political critiques) / ENVIRONMENT (how the set design or architecture plays a role in the story). Note that not all the episodes may cover these points, it will depend on the episode.)
(These posts will be the basis for a larger live-document that will change according to feedback and BTS material that I encounter in the future. For now think of these posts as advanced-drafts being sent for fandom-peer-review).
COMPANION WATCH:
The bit of Rose putting the slimy old man in his place is pretty awesome. It gives me Jackie Tyler vibes as well, for some reason!
Rose Tytler regularly skipped school to go to the mall and look at boys. I stan one (1) normie. (also, it's criminal Rose and Gwen Cooper never interact, honestly!).
It's a small thing but I find it charming rose already is like "you opened the doors last time so now it's my turn!". Rose has this thing with really managing to… let’s say “keep the pants in the relationship” that I think a lot of companion/doctor dynamics strive to do, but don’t always feel genuine/don’t commit to it? But Rose manages at times to keep the power dynamics somewhat balanced (probably from her experiences with dating older guys like Jimmy Stone and Mickey?).
Then again, this episode also gives us the "Accept the way I do things, or go home". Which is a major power move from The Doctor. "You can leave if you want (I'm tempting to firing you), but I know you won't (you'll do what I think it's best)".
"You've got all the clothes and the breeding, but you talk like some sort of wild thing. / Maybe I am. Maybe that's a good thing" Rose as a sex positive activist :)
THEMES Bodies as a resource that becomes more valuable once its dead. Once again separation of the “body” from the “personsoul/consciousness** Modern Hypocrisy. Diplomacy and Negotiation (once again not working). Grief, Mourning and “Respect for the Dead”. Class (the Classic Rose/Gwen dialogue but also ‘’You look like a navvie” (from Dickens to the Doc). Margins: Cardiff, not London. Undertakers? Ghostly Christmas (paganism?). Atheism (falsely questioned?). Science Fiction vs Realist Fiction. Nine fighting / doctoring as his way of “Dancing” (“I think this is my dance” *as he saves Rose from the zombie). Fatality as in literal death and as in an attitude towards life. Illusions vs Reality (Dicken’s dilemma but also the “escapist” aspect of Rose’s travels meeting the reality of having to make tough calls). Time / Death. Destiny. Telepathy. We get also a biiit of an introduction to the whole “Earth’s self-determination” thing the New Series explores (Gwenivere should make the call of what happens to her).
BLORBOS:
Nine referring to Rose as “Barbarella”…….. coughhisroleplayscenariocough
"you look beautiful... considering that you're human" is this another nine stupid apes moment or nine's first "curse of the timelords" moment?
THE TIMELESS CHILD RETROACTIVE CONTINUITY BONUS:
The Child could have come from the (a) rift? see:
DOCTOR: Means it's getting stronger, the rift's getting wider and something's sneaking through / ROSE: What's the rift? / DOCTOR: A weak point in time and space. A connection between this place and another. That's the cause of ghost stories, most of the time.
Dickens gives us some parallels to The Doctor’s curse of immortality:
"Absolutely. I was just brooding. Christmas Eve. Not the best of times to be alone. "/ I've been rather, let's say, clumsy, with family matters. Thank God I'm too old to cause any more trouble. / You speak as though it's all over, sir. / No, it's never over. On and on I go, the same old show. I'm like a ghost, condemned to repeat myself for all eternity. "
ENVIRONMENT: the final confrontation taking place on a basement signaling the “Underground War” theme of s1. Dicken’s performance signaling the self-referential/post-modern vibe of the New Series (show within a show).
COLONIALISM / HEGEMONY: couple points… this is the kind of episodes that the more I thought about the implications the more uncomfortable it got, unfortunately.
History in *theory* being in “flux” and regrettable, but ultimately the Status Quo must be preserved. Many times aliens will come asking for help, whether genuinely or not the show's format is restricted on legitimately changing the status quo of earht, bc it means distancing the audience from "that" version of earth.
Implicit in the mythos of the Time War and The Shadow Proclamation is the notion of human societies being “advanced” (and thus other societies being "primitive". We discover that the Time War was “Invisible to smaller species but devastating to higher forms”. What does this mean? What is a “smaller species” and what is a “higher form”? Also, we know from episode 1 that the earth’s position in the “technological scale” makes it vulnerable to “invaders”. There’s a lot of assumptions implicit in this whole set up: that a technologically “superior” civilization will *always* invade a “lower” one (a kind of naturalization of colonialism), that technological advancements can be categorized this way in a progressive 1-10 scale, and that "a societies is defined by its tech" (presumably The Shadow Proclamation defines tech in the narrow, “tools and science” definition, and not the wider anthropological "any ideas that produce a desired effect" definition).
There’s a bit of an Atheist vs Supernatural thing going on in this episode. The UK is at its core still largely a Christian country, but it’s been progressively shifting with time to an atheist / agnostic one as the ruling classes has distanced from its primary tool of consent making (Christians were 71.6% on the uk's 2001 census, 59.3% on the 2011 census vs 46.2% on the 2021 one). So, it makes sense the writing reflects this anxiety. It gets a bit bizarre though…to explain, let’s look at the crux of Dickens arc, found in this dialogue:
"I've always railed against the fantasists. Oh, I loved an illusion as much as the next man, rebelled in them, but that's exactly what they were, illusions. The real world is something else. I dedicated myself to that. Injustices, the great social causes. I hoped that I was a force for good. Now you tell me that the real world is a realm of specters and jack-o'-lanterns. In which case, have I wasted my brief span here, Doctor? Has it all been for nothing?"
But... his worldview is truly being challenged by the situation. There IS a rational explanation to the “ghosts”, there aren’t “specters and jack-o.lanterns” in the who-world (eu voice: not after The Anchoring Of The Thread!). Dickens walks from the story with the impression that irrationality is True and There’s Life After Death and that he’s wasted his time writing about “the great social causes”. Again… it’s strange. I’m not sure the episode is aware it is doing this?
Finally we get the Really uncomfortable (unintentional?) allegory of this episode…
->The Gelth are refugees from a war between “superior civilizations”. -> The Gelth intentionally lie about their numbers and resources they need.
->They lie about being a “couple hundred”- turns out they’re billions! ->Earthlings cannot share their land with them. Because they will take “everything”.
->The only solution is to kill them, they’re too duplicitous and aggressive to do anything else!
->(And once again, like with the Nestene... there’s not really a grappling with how it was the Time Lords' fault that this is even happened).

In honor of the 57th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas, it feels only right to remember Charlie's voice actor, Peter Robbins, who passed away earlier this year. He often discussed his struggles with mental health and did a lot of work before he died encouraging others to seek help when needed.
“That is why Charlie Brown is such a wonderful character. He does see a psychiatrist, so he knows he has got some problems, and he is trying to get help. They always say that Charlie Brown is a lovable loser but, at the end of the day, he gathers everybody around the tree.”
Rest in peace Peter Robbins. I hope you know tons of people all over the world still take joy from this amazing little animated special you were a part of. I know this time of year is hard for many people, so just remember if you need help it is available at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

This is just a soul crushing day. This man gave me and my family something to enjoy for decades and decades. I still can’t comprehend that he’s gone. I hope he’s resting well and he will be sincerely missed.

Unlike the rip-off, *Inspector Spacetime* never went to the trouble of creating fake snow for holiday specials.
It actually better reflected the reality in the UK during these warmer times.

Remembering Jeremiah Green, Anita Pointer and John Osterlind / Rebecca Pratt
Well 2023 just began and news has come in that we actually lost two musicians and a radio personality at the very end of 2022. Here is my combined remembrance:
Remembering Jeremiah Green 1977-2022
Green’s Party salutes drummer Jeremiah Green
Modest Mouse drummer and co-founder Jeremiah Green has died at 45. The WA indie-rockers had some cool tunes and albums. He was in the band from 1993 to 2022, but took a short break from 2003-04, which happened to be their breakthrough year with Good News for People Who Love Bad News (great title) and hits like “Float On”. They came up at around the time of indie rockers Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Death Cab for Cutie were breaking into the mainstream in the early-mid 00s, which was exciting to see.
The link above is the obit from Rolling Stone.
Remembering Anita Pointer 1948-2022
The Pointer Sisters’ Break Out album from 1983
Singer Anita Pointer of The Pointer Sisters, the vocal group she co-founded with her sisters, has died at 74. They were one of the great pop R&B vocal groups of the 70s and 80s. My earliest exposure to them was the “Pinball Number Count” on Sesame Street. Still a cool sing-along song. They, then, had a string of hits including “Fire” (a Bruce Springsteen cover), “He’s so Shy”, “I’m So Excited” (made legendary by the famous episode of Saved by the Bell where Jesse melts down singing it), “Automatic”, “Jump (for my Love)” (released the same year as Van Halen’s “Jump” but wildly different), “Neutron Dance” from Beverly Hills Cop, and “Dare Me”, many of these I was exposed to on MTV and V66 when I was learning about music at a young age. They also took part in USA for Africa’s “We are the World”. They also did a fun cover of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” on A Very Special Christmas album.
On July 4, 1995, I went with a group of friends to the Boston Pops 4th of July at the Hatch Shell in Boston. There were too many people and we had to leave since there was nowhere to sit or stand, but off in the distance I was able to hear The Pointer Sisters performing a medley with the Pops.
The link above is the obit from Hollywood Reporter.
Remembering John Osterlind / Rebecca Pratt 1967-2022
Osterlind with WAAF in the mid 90s
[UPDATED 1/4/23] Radio personality formerly known as John Osterlind has died at 55. From 1992 to 2001 they were a DJ on WAAF-FM in Boston. In April 1995, I saw Slash’s Snakepit in concert at Axis in Boston and they hosted the show. I talked to them for a few minutes and was very cool. After 2001 they left WAAF and in 2003 left Boston for New Orleans.
Since my initial post, several obits have now brought to my attention that in the last few years, John transitioned to Rebecca Pratt. Story updated accordingly.
The link above is the obit from Audacy.

mdni ...🎄🎁
despite simon not celebrating christmas, he enjoyed to celebrate it with you, in his own special way... by dressing you up in some pretty, red lingerie and bending you over in bed, his large cock rutting against your ass, pushed between your ass cheeks as he humps you.
he's so grateful for you, showing that by buying and gifting you presents. he's so glad to have bought you some new and beautiful lingerie, to tear it apart and split you apart on his thick, veiny cock.
he grunts lowly, a deep chuckle emitting from deep in his chest as he continues to thrust into you. both large hands on your hips, and the lingerie ripped. simon layers hickeys and kisses on your neck, huffing at the smell of your perfume as he ruts and rams his broad hips into your folds. wet, glossy, and glistening slick covering your thighs and smeared along his shaft, pumping you full of his hot seed as he fucks his hott oad into you. :3

I love men in independently made audio comedy where the other characters are just like "it wouldn't be awful if he suffered for a little bit".
#this is about Eddie in Night Terrace#and Rudyard in Wooden Overcoats#I listened to the Christmas special of the latter last night and they did a SONG about lol Rudyard wants to come in#but they don't want to let him in so they just leave him outside in the cold#rip
