Not To Talk About Doctor Who But Remember Being A Lonely Depressed Teenager And Hearing Him Say '900

when a ship involves one character being so utterly devoted to the other that its borderline religious????? when the devoted character is written to be seen as a sinner, or damned, or a non believer??? and the other character an angel or god-like???? i simply eat that shit UP how can you not??

Is there anything sadder than the little chunk of Kikis Delivery Service when Kiki says "I used to really like flying before it was my job" and then gets so burned out that her magic stops working and she cant talk to Jiji anymore and she tries so hard to FORCE the magic that she breaks her mothers broom and stays up all night, alone, trying to make a new one and crying?

And I know it is all ok in the end- Kiki has friends who look out for her and she takes care of herself and finds her place.

But fuck, those 20 minutes just hurt my heart so much.

this is stomp dog it shows up to stomp away sadness

me:

I miss sleeping next to someone

what a shame doctors don’t prescribe vacation to secluded seaside towns like they used to

me writing fictional couples: oh wow…. the tenderness, the devotion, the romance

me irl:

"why do you even know that" i thirst for knowledge as the arctic tern chases a perpetual summer
