eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

#i do think that this pit of anger was eventually covered and soothed by the ponds #but he didn't adress it and he couldn't even look at it until he was twelve #when he stopped pushing back and repressing everything and finally allowed himself to exist as he was #but ok listen #its all layed out in the first 3 episodes of season 5 and in the way amy sees him #episode 1. here is the new doctor he is energetic and reeling and fun #episode 2. the space whale comparison. here is the new doctor. he is unthinkably ancient and almost godlike but he is so so kind #and patient and good. he is ancient and lonely but he can't stand to see children cry. so the doctor helps people #episode 3. daleks. the doctor is a soldier. these are his age old enemies. he wants them dead and he will stop at nothing #all logic and reason vanish. he is hitting the dalek with a pipe and yelling his head off while amy watches in horror #like obviously we know why but amy didnt #this is not a sane or rational man he is unstable and angry #and in that episode he was stripped back to what he largely is: hate #you would make a good dalek ect ect ect #anyway 3 episodes with 3 very distinct and equally definitely traits layed out like: here you go #i don't like elevens era much but those first 3 episodes were great #doctor who #eleven #amy #eleventh doctor #matt smith #dr who #dw #i mean idk this is what river literally had to spell out for him #eleven was careening completely out of control #how long til doctor means warrior indeed?#mine

I'm sorry I let down my guard.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xue yang #xiao xingchen #God DAMN this scene was brutal. Season 2 episode 2 is almost nothing but misery and anguish #Helena by Nickle Creek does not quite fit the comic's vibe but it is absolutely a Xue Yang song so I linked it.#The change from “Helena don't walk away...(gentle)” to “HELENA. DON'T WALK AWAY (threat)” is fantastic.#And “Don't waste your pretty sympathy - I'll always be just fine”. Xue Yang core.#Okay now for the real meat. Disclaimer first: *I really like XY.* I think he's a great character. I think his actions consistently-#come from a place of deep trauma. While his reactions and actions put him in a villainous role he is still human about his hurt #and what I'm about to say is NOT intended to be a statement of causality or villianize a group of misunderstood people.#So with that said...Man oh man does Xue Yang have a lot of BPD traits. More that just 'character who is chronically manipulative'.#The impulsivity and emotional reactions and seeking stability makes him feel like he needs that control. What other choice is there?#The part that really gets me is how he *wants* to be safe and happy. But his past experiences tell him how thats impossible #He's the kind of person who goes 'if you don't like me then you better hate me for something substantial". All (pos) or All (neg)#''Love me entirely or Hate me. But don't you dare leave me or forget about me.''#Not at all comfortable saying 'BPD coded'. Im not a psychiatrist. Just that he has TRAITS. Feel free to disagree or add your thoughts.#ppl with bpd also are not a monolith and everyone has very different experiences. Xue yang is very complex. People more so.

#tmnt #rottmnt #michelangelo #baron draxum #ik a lot of people dont like draxums redemption cuz it felt rushed which is totally fair but #dragging him against his will into the found family is so great #the main thing about the episode i would change is when draxum decides on his own to save those humans #because he was def not there yet #i wouldve prefered him not caring until he sees mikey distressed about not being able to get to the ferris wheel #because hes busy with the bounty hunters #and THEN barry goes ''ugh FINE ill save the [gags] humans''#i think thats a good first step for him. he doesnt save them for necessarily the most heroic reasons but #him caring about what mikey cares about and the willing to save a human for mikey shows progress that fits him

i have this really stupid idea in my head that im frankly a little obsessed with and the idea is this: trent crimm doing a drunk history episode on ted lasso's first tenure at richmond. is that how drunk history works? i don't think so. do i care? absolutely not. it's a special episode who cares because this image is not only hysterical to me but treasured. i treasure this image. i hold it close in my heart and also laugh and laugh and laugh.

#ted is played by what is very visibly a butch lesbian in a huge fake mustache.#roy is inexplicably played by himself in a wig.#ternt drunkenly and passionately explaining this whole thing. he says his own line and the trent actor (who also has a wig) gets to act it #trent waving his hands as he's explaining all this. the host being like 'not very often we get to have someone include the part where They #come into the story' and trents like [dorkiest finger guns]#also yes i said first tenure bc this scenario lives in post canon fantasy fix it land where ambiguously ted comes back to richmond #at some point. and also both bc my tedependent heart is obsessed and bc it's really funny #marries trent. just bc i want this to end with trent--hammered and pleased as punch--being like AND THEN I MARRIED HIM!!!!!#[falls back on couch happily] :)#also in the line of that great 5+1 social media fic #by jessjessthebest. a sequel thats just like a youtube video like #'we made ted lasso and trent crimm watch that episode of drunk history about them' and trent is just. head in hands the whole time.#ted is DELIGHTED.#anyway i rotate this in my brain fucking DAILY. it's so goddamn funny to me.#ted lasso #tedependent #tedtrent #trent crimm #the line in question being 'is this a fucking joke' i just realized i did not clarify that #no but really im obsessed with this it's so fucking funny #also any image trent had left of being a ruthless ex journalist is thoroughly ruined #all of his former colleagues have seen him and drunk and giggling and fully admitting what he was thinking at the time and oh boy #hes a disaster <3

HOLY SHIT, WHY IS THERE A DETCO REFERENCE IN MY URUSEI YATSURA??

Anyway, this reference is really funny and cute (and I think some episodes ago there was another reference but I'm not entirely sure for that one) since Detco also has a bunch of references to UY as well (this how I discovered Detco in the first place btw), so it's kind of like the UY remake is returning the favor :)

This is only one of them, there's a whole section in the UY wiki which lists most of them (which you can find here).

will i ever stop thinking about heather button being fanny's great granddaughter. will i ever stop thinking about how fanny must have had a son to have had a such a direct relation to heather. will i ever stop thinking about why fanny's son is never mentioned. will i ever stop thinking about fanny having strong opinions on the role of a mother and how to look after children, but never speaking of her own child or of being a mother herself. so many ghosts in this show and yet i'm most haunted by the total absence of fanny's son!!!!

#i need to Know what happened there #yes we can assume they didn't have a good relationship #but i want to know how that relationship was strained #why she can't talk of him #bbc ghosts #maybe the six idiots forgot about the throwaway line #in the very first episode of fanny saying she's a great grandmother #and just barrelled forward with the concept of her being childless #but i can't let it go!!!!

People who recommend you start with ds9 are so... what are you talking about? Like, yes, it is the best one, but it's good precisely because it deconstructs the story as it has been presented to us in tos and (mostly) tng. It's not like you can't watch it without watching those first, but it loses so much of it's impact if you don't come in already believing in the story of the Federation as a utopia. Why are you trying to undercut your own fave like that, bro?

#also it's like people who recommend blink as your first doctor who episode #yeah it's great but it's so different from the rest of the franchise #if you base your expectations for what star trek is off of ds9 then you will be disappointed by the rest of them #not because the rest are worse but because ds9's tone and framing is not representative of the work as a whole #ds9 #queue

thinking about the fact that MK was probably really REALLY close to going monkey mode during the shadowplay episode...

#Monkie Kid #like when he finally breaks a bit after being tackled by the shadow versions of the others #the electric energy + the glowing eyes + jumping up??#those are all EXACTLY the same as what MK did the first time he went Monkey Mode #so.... he was probably REALLY close to it right then and there #tbh if you really think about it that's happened in response to macaque quite a few times #you could count MK tossing the staff at him in ep9 #as well as him leaping up into the air before transforming in s3 ep4 #Macaque is just great at bringing out peoples primal rage i guess #can you IMAGINE if he had turned into a monkey for the first time during that episode though #without any real buildup to it???#that would've been NUTS

I AM STARING AT KC. WHILE WATCHING THIS LAES EPIOSDE.

Yall really threw away something there for this kinda plot BUT SURE.

#'if i cant do it the easy way ill do it the hard way' IMMEDIATE FLASHBACKS TO THE FACT THE CREATOR CAN JUST...#SAY THE CODE OR WHATEVER AND FORCE THINGS. yknow like what eclipse did to lunar! BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE THATS BROUGHT UP #also apparently never told sun OR moon about that LORDY BUDDY. the things they totally couldve used kc for in regards with earth #IT TRULY COULDVE GREAT AND EXPLORED A BIT MORE ON EARTH SITUATION. I get sun and moon know first hand obviously #but also we had diect example of the creator doing exactly what hes done with kc before #AND KC WAS FIGHTIN THAT #Earth wasnt aware enough to do that.#anyway wheres MY COMIC #lunar and earth show spoilers #a good episode BUT ALSO JUST Ill rewrite canon here dont u worry #we're doing it anyway
