law and luffy are so fun bc the fundamental basis of their relationship is that they were both there for each other in one of their most isolated, life changing moments of grief, and they’re the only reason the other survived it. they may not necessarily know all that much about each other, but they do know parts of each other that not even the closest members of their crew (their family) know now. like obviously by the end of dressrosa law sees and understands the reason luffy’s crew follows him, but I think a less obvious truth is that when law saves him luffy sees and understands the reason law’s crew follows him. I just think about luffy’s instinctive faith and trust in law on punk hazard; he looks at law and understands that as much as he pretends not to be law is fundamentally the person who saved him before he is anything else. and I think they both kinda struggle to categorize the specific and unique way in which they are important to each other (although admittedly luffy stops caring to much much sooner LOL), bc it IS different than their relationships with their crew or their family. not necessarily any more or less meaningful, just different. and idk i guess i just think it’s all very sweet, in the end, that they managed to find each other like this.

I was always taught to never form attachment, and sever ties that were already made.
Don't feel fear, that shows weakness. Attachment shows weakness.
These were teachings that were engraved in my being, never to be forgotten.
Then you came along with your toothy smile, infectious laughter, and unrelenting determination, and suddenly the lessons taught to me all those years ago flew out the window.
I found my eyes lingering on your figure as you walk away, wanting nothing more than to reach out and have your attention on me once again.
The scent of you haunts me as I try to sleep, the vivid image of you following me in my dreams.
I feel a part of my shoulder burning where you rest your hand, but your touch is a fire I would willingly walk into.
My thoughts have gone past what you do to me now, as they have evolved into thoughts of what we could be together.
I wonder what your hands feel like encased in my mine.
I wonder what you would look like waking up next to me.
I wonder how you would feel when I tell you I want to spend the rest of my days with you.
Leaving behind all I have known was a risk I was never willing to take, because what will become of me when I abandon the laws that have shaped me?
Though after meeting you, my beloved, I realised that these principles only held me back.
It has been years since I have left that life behind; I want to carve out a new future for myself, one that includes you, if you'd let me.
I will see you tonight, my love.

there is a thing in how Steven Knight wrote the format for 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire' and also this upwardly-rising social mobility thing with Tommy; yet inherent in both is an utter humiliation and mortification of the one who wants to be that millionaire (because of their fundamental IGNORANCE which will be found out at some point)
your aspirations become the visual and mental fodder of those who know their place (that place of the voyeur as above or below is irrelevant, but woe to the one who attempts to rise out of their place)

I want a whole series with Fourteen & Donna. Like that episode was just so great.
We have the Doctor showing how caring this version of them is by saying it out loud, by holding her hand, reassuring her thar everything will be alright, calming Donna down with acts of physical contact (the stark difference not only between ten, but also thirteen oh boy)
Then the breakdown – gave me waters of mars vibes, David's acting is just so amazing in that entire scene – showing us how the events with the Flux has left them, and how he wishes Donna could understand him without having to explain it. To share the pain of learning the beginning of his life, how they came to be, is a complete lie.
"A million years."
To unpack everything from the events of the timelord victorious, to the Ponds, learning gallefrey did not fall, events as Twelve, and then finally, you get to the newests of torments having learned of the timeless child.
For fucks sake I need them both to sit down and talk about it.
We also got to see how Donna is traumatized of being left behind again by the Doctor. That he somehow couldn't tell the difference between her and the no thing. Plays into the whole self-worth bit. And can I say, Catherine Tate, that acting was *chef kiss* because for a second I was convinced the damn thing had copied Donna 100% and I would've brokedown crying with her being left behind omfg
Also loved that whole parallel thing with their conversations when the no things are first shown, it was a quite nice way to prelude the horrors.

Hello there! Actually I have the 4K official trailer, tried my best to notice and figure out few characters from each scene. I I thought you might be interested too :)
(I can’t be 100% sure about my judgement because some pics are just too blurry)
Hambone Hamilton chatting with Harry Crosby during the dance?!
I believe this scene happens before the Regensburg mission, based on the content of Colonel Harding’s line. Besides, I spotted Curtis Biddick & Richard Snyder, Sam Barr, Eve Blakely crew (Harry Crosby & Jim Douglass), Charles Cruishank and Kenneth Lorch from Claytor crew. I’m not able to identify the rest 😔
Just abt half second before the scene above, the trailer has been edited in a scene from a totally different mission.I found out Rosie’s riveters sitting in the middle row?!
I saw William DeBlasio, Rosie, Pappy Lewis and Ronald Bailey.
Also, lads on the boats are riveters!
I recognised Pappy Lewis, Clifford Milburn and Ronald Bailey.

(*i Still can't get over that this is known as "where's wally" across the atlantic lol)

to the anon who dropped a little advice in my asks inbox, which I won’t be posting cause the world doesn’t need to see that shit.
unless you back up what you say when making allegations / comments like that, or have yourself not on anon so that someone can start an actual convo with you… don’t drop and run shit like that on people.
it might have been well intentioned - but who says those kinds of things? what the fuck was your goal?
impolitely, fuck off

I just. I’m honestly in awe that almost every single fear everyone had about RTD coming back for Ncuti Gatwa’s era was proven true. WITHIN 20 MINUTES
