Elpickett - El Pickett

My friends and I were discussing where the one f-bomb should be in PG-13 shows and films (kinda wild because you get many more than one in the UK's mostly equivalent 12 rating), and I brought up ATLA, and we quickly came to the conclusion that:

1) Toph definitely would be the one to swear

2) Toph off screen was swearing constantly

3) if she did it on screen once it would not be for something meaningful, she'd stub a toe or whatever her equivalent it is

Toph would've killed Ozai. She wouldn't have hesitated.

So I think I figured out what Fifteen's problem is. Not as a flaw in the writing, mind. A flaw in the character.

Every New Who Doctor has been a reaction to the trauma of the Time War.

Nine raged

Ten ran

Eleven repressed

Twelve wallowed

Thirteen regressed

Fourteen finally admitted he had a problem and sought help.

And Fifteen, I'm certain now, relapses.

Fifteen started out doing great. All his trauma processed. Ready to face the world. And maybe at first it worked (though sadly we didn't get to see his many offscreen adventures with Ruby). But like... you don't stay better. You have to work at it. And he's very much not doing that.

There's a brittleness to his good cheer. Be it the gods of chaos, the loss of a lover, or his first real confrontation with racism, he doesn't deal with adversity very well. He breaks down, he hides, he acts like everything's fine. It's not fine though. He's not okay. He might've dealt with his problems, but he didn't equip himself with the tools needed to deal with new problems.

He's gonna crack eventually. We can already see it happening.

I came out as queer at 13 because even then I knew that bi wasn't quite right - it took five years before I clocked that I was arospec as well. And you know what? Queer worked perfectly well throughout that time!

is this nOT WHAT HAP-

People keep saying that the TARDIS shouldn’t have malfunctioned just from a cup of coffee but I have two theories

• The TARDIS heard that her darling newly regenerated little time Lord wasn’t going to get a cool adventure with his bestie and engineered an excuse so that he could

• The TARDIS having newly refurbished herself had coffee thrown at her nice new circuits and decided to throw a bitch fit

Look the TARDIS is the longest running female character in doctor who, has proven to be sentient, and regularly takes the Doctor to places she thinks he’d like without warning. It had to be her right?

Honestly, probably the best social tip I could ever give you guys is literally just ask. Need to make a doctor's appointment but don't know how? Call the doctor's office and ask. Don't know the meaning of what someone said? Ask them. Don't understand the instructions you were given? Ask them to repeat or clarify. This has literally never failed me, no one's gotten angry, no one's refused to answer.

Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn't know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.

okay but imagine everything that could've been avoided if Paul and feyd had just done this, it's not like Paul or Leto Jr. (Leto II? no idea) actually cared about their political marriages anyway

The Bene Gesserit: All these years of careful planning wasted. The Duke's child was meant to be a girl and marry Feyd-Ruatha, uniting the Houses of Harkonnen and Atriedes.

Feyd: yeah but like where's the problem?

Bene Gesserit:

Feyd: I mean I'm not gay but I'll fuck him if that will keep you all quiet for five minutes.

Paul:

Written twelve and a bit pages of fiction and have failed to finish one four page report oops

I wish to make an EVIL comment section, tell me one foul deed you have done this past week

Bottomless vales and boundless floods,

And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,

[...]

Mountains toppling evermore

Into seas without a shore;

Seas that restlessly aspire,

Surging, unto skies of fire;

[...]

There the traveller meets, aghast,

Sheeted Memories of the Past-

Shrouded forms that start and sigh

As they pass the wanderer by-

White-robes forms of friends long given,

In agony, to the Earth - and Heaven.

—Dreamland, Edgar Allen Poe
