A Spoon's Only Objective In Life Is To Make Soup Go Upwards, And It Knows This. That's Why When You Put

full round of applause to the person who edited wild blue yonder. editing is a really overlooked part of visual storytelling, but in this episode it seamlessly helped to convey a lot of the subtler horror elements as well as the mavitas of the situation.

Ok but can we please talk about how groundbreaking it is for THE 60th anniversary episode to be SO trans positive- like yes, it was a little heavy-handed in places in the way that cis writers write trans dialogue and think about gender, but in considering how the climate is *especially* in the uk rn, for Doctor Who to go, no actually- trans rights, acceptance and love/support?? To normalise trans people as normal people and that a trans woman is INTEGRAL and FOREFRONT to the narrative and saves the day on prime time television on the longest running drama AND highly awaited episode?? It's massive.

Hello,

You said that Aziraphale is obviously gay coded. Do you think Crowley is too?

I think Crowley is disaster coded.

awesome

For some reason, the Emerald Witch Arc always came off as weird to me, plot-wise, compared to other arcs.

Yes, even compared to the more mundane arcs like Indian Butler and Public School arc.

For a while, I never knew why, I thought “oh maybe it’s just a me thing.”

Today, it has finally hit me. (Spoilers for anime only watchers who haven’t the read the manga)

This arc is literally the plot of a Scooby-Doo episode.

Like if you’ve seen at least one episode of Scooby Doo (let’s be real you have to be under a big fucking rock to not know what Scooby Doo is) you already know the big reveal of almost every episode.

“oh this monster was just a person in a costume”

“oh this ghost was just an animatronic”

“the curse that kills people is really poisonous gas”

Basically almost every single supernatural thing is revealed to be manmade and mundane at the end.

Like I’m thoroughly convinced that if you took the storyline of this arc and replace Ciel, Sebastian, and the servants with Shaggy, Scooby, & the Mystery Inc Gang (while maybe toning down the violence and graphic-ness of the arc) it would not be out of place as one of those Scooby-Doo direct-to-video films.

“Scooby-Doo and the Werewolves’ Curse.” I can see it now.
