tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.
It's about them having met before time, since before the universe, it's about aziraphale watching crowley bring into existence the universe they both love so much.
Oh so you're just gonna tell me that aziraphale and crowley were literally just standing (floating?flying?) there before the beginning right next to each other watching the big bang happen together. Ok yeah ok sure I'm normal about yeah ok yeah I'm alright (I'm not jesus christ).
The thought of watching almost all of enterprise, then tos, then tng and only then the enterprise finale is truly cursed.
i think the funniest possible star trek viewing order might be strictly chronological.
you’d have to start with that Voyager episode where they go to before the Big Bang, then work your way through every other time travel episode, the one with the whales, and First Contact before you even get close to anything approaching a normal viewing order.
at some point you’d have to watch “City on The Edge of Forever” followed by “Little Green Men” followed by “Far Beyond the Stars” which is about the most tonal whiplash you could possibly get from three consecutive episodes of star trek. I think I want to try this now.
Crushing on her deadbeat dad's gay middle-aged enemy who also assassinated her grandfather 😭
I love ziyal cringe-fail moments. crushing on her deadbeat dad's gay middle-aged enemy. dropping out of art school. admitting collaborating with the enemy and getting herself killed. girl what were you doing 😭
my favorite characters from each of the series i have watched. i find it incredibly interesting that these are also the characters who have a big focus on finding/understanding their humanity. idk what that says about me but it's probably important
Incorrect. Morn lingerie rights.
Definitely one of my worst memes. Enjoy.
Thanks to @bussyplease for that amazing template (original).
Also there's something to be said about the way they approach the doctor striving/demanding for people to recognise his autonomy and rights and the way they approach the same thing with, for example, data.
Everyone who treats data as less than human is portrayed as clearly wrong and often downright evil and while the doctor does also get his fair share of plotlines that affirm him being an equal to the humans around him, for every such plotline there are multiple throwaway jokes and off hand comments that basically read as "look at the silly hologram, he wants to be treated like the sentient being that he clearly is", often by characters that the narrative wants us to like and see as morally righteous and while I'm sure that was never intentional it does seem like a reflection of real life attitudes towards disabled people and other minorities.
Namely the shockingly pervasive Notion that, in the case of disabled people, they only deserve accommodations if they're nice and kind and happy and never ever do anything to even mildly offend or disgruntle any given abled person they interact with.
To use datas portrayal as an example yet again, if data offends someone it's almost always due to his lack of understanding of social norms and never portrayed as bad or malicious by the narrative, only misguided. Because data is "nice" the only people who deny his rights or autonomy are villains or quickly proven wrong. The doctor on the other hand, while not a bad person, can be conceited, rude, snarky and sometimes even a bit of a dick and while, again, I'm sure it's not intentional it does feel like the fact that he dares to have an attitude that's anything other than beyond reproach is part of the reason why the narrative doesn't seem to want to grant him his rights quite as easily as other characters both within and outside of the franchise.
Yknow I really wish voyager didn't treat the doctor's frustration with his limited mobility & being treated like a non-person like he was being ridiculous because. He was right. And nobody ever took him seriously what the hell was that about
"Oh these twins are different genders but they look similar so clearly they're actually identical and one of them is trans" WRONG! They're fraternal twins who are both trans and purposefully transitioned in a way to make them look more similar because they thought it'd be fun (and they were right!). I am objectively correct about this.
