Dennis keeping binders about his friends always makes me so sad cuz it appears controlling while it's actually just out of pure love. To Dennis, being known by someone else is what he desperately seeks and he offers that freely to the rest of the gang.
Also this scene from the book, knowing Dennis runs and using it against him. Putting words in his mouth and cornering him.
not a dennis apologist but a ~dennis defender~ when i see everyone somehow missing the fact that mac is literally fucking stated to be the one pulling the strings from the shadows and has been for years while dennis, naïve, known idiot and chronic underestimater of his friends, is the one being played.
hes the peoples princess. he slays cunt. he cant open a window. he blows kisses and curtsies. i didnt say his name but he popped into ur head didnt he
I hate to keep being so salty about Moffat’s era b/c RTD’s first era did have some things I didn’t like but man RTD was a freaking genius at weaving so much emotion and heart into his stories while still keeping it sci-fi
I mean we had arcs for soooo many characters it’s actually kind of crazy when you think about it, and I’m not just talking about Nine, Ten/Tentoo, Rose, Martha and Donna
The companions families as well–positive and negative b/c I’m still not over how difficult it must have been for Martha’s family after their year with the Master. But Jackie and Pete had their happily ever after (and a baby), Mickey grew so much, Sylvia seemed to have a bit of a change of heart regarding Donna at the end, Wilf was fabulously Wilf (we saw their families so many times on screen!!)
Like think about how wild it is that I know Mickey was raised by his gran, I remember Martha warning her brother Leo and he was walking with a gf/wife/partner? pushing a baby stroller, Martha’s dad had a gf who I think was called Annalise and there was drama about that cheating scandal…I know so much about characters that aren’t really the main companions in comparison to, for example, Amy and Rory
We had arcs for “minor” characters like Cassandra, Harriet Jones, Adam, The Face of Boe, the Slitheen that took over Margaret, even Jake from Pete’s World
We had a connection between Gwyneth and Gwen with the explanation as to why they look the same, same for the explanation as to why Tosh was there in S1
We had what was essentially like an origin story for the Ood in S4 when they had first been introduced in S2
Jack had his own spinoff, I haven’t watched Classic Who but Sarah Jane was incredible in what I’ve seen of her own spinoff too
Even though there’s some things I don’t like about Journey’s End the reason it was so exciting to see was b/c of the culmination of so many characters that had so much backstory coming together. Come on we even had a reference to Mr. Copper from the “Voyage of the Damned” special since he funded the Sub-Wave Network! Incredible, just incredible.
100% certain this scene is the reason Jeff went to therapy.
And honestly, Jeff wouldn't have listened to anyone else. Especially s1 Jeff who has a line telling Abed "why are we the only sane ones here". Because yeh, the other characters aren't necessarily better than him. To Jeff, someone else telling him that advice would have sounded condescending. But Abed doesn't pity him and doesn't shy away from saying it as it is. Abed is like hey Jeff that's alarming behavior and I care about you so you should seek a professional for that. And Jeff gets it. And actually follows through. He meant it when he said that Abed in this episode was his wake up call.
They're two sides of the same coin and Jeff finally sees that other side of the coin and goes oh I have the potential to be a good person...yeh I want that.

Martha thought like me, like most of us in this situation, let's be honest. She's sharing a bed inches away from a man who traveled back in time to show her Shakespeare. This could be read as romantic.
But The Doctor has always been oblivious to the impact he has on others.
So I'm not going to say Rose wouldn't think like Martha, or wouldn't wish for something more.
But Rose wouldn't act like Martha because Rose would see The Doctor is troubled so she'd try and help him find a solution. She'd put him first.
And that's how their love story can seem as if it's put on hold, how they can both be focused on the problems first.
Because their love speaks through everything they do, every action and thought is out of love for the other.
How Martha felt a little led on isn't selfish, it's natural. But what Rose does is selfless.
i cant rb or like posts anymore that are like dennis is so awful and pathetic (affectionate). im sorry ur objectively correct but thats literally my princess angel face. i cant say that about her. not even in lighthearted jest. i fear what she might do to herself if she saw me like that post. sorry
Glenn Howerton revealing he has ADHD before we find out any of Rob’s diagnoses was not on my 2023 bingo card
Nothing is more devastating than this. The UN World Food Program has officially suspended aid delivery to northern Gaza, citing violence and lack of safety as major reasons the aid trucks aren’t getting through. Israeli officers are liberally shooting at Palestinians who try to approach the trucks in hopes of getting even the smallest morsels of food, despite the fact that Israel has allowed only one crossing for the already woefully low numbers of aid they’re permitting entry. Reportedly this number has fallen from 140 a day in January to just 60 a day this month, and now 16% of all Gazan children under 2 are “acutely malnourished.” Meanwhile, the US vetoes a call for a ceasefire for the third fucking time. It’s so inhumane in its cruelty it’s actually shocking to see it being allowed to go on and on, and on an international level no less.
