IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

אם אני רוצה להתאבד, אני מכינה פסטה עם חמאה ואולי גבינה. ב90% מהמקרים אני לא רוצה להתאבד יותר אחרי שאכלתי את הפסטה

אולי אני לא אובדנית כמו שחשבתי. אולי אני סתם רעבה.

This is what happened to me!!! And my friends now think I have no taste in TV and refuse to listen to my opinions about it

this is how i imagine showing doctor who to any of my friends:

*trash can eats a person and burps*

friend: i thought that this show is beautiful and changed you fundamentally as a person?

me: bro i swear it gets better

*skin pancake plays toxic*

if rtd wasn’t a coward he would have cut to the opening credits right at the moment when Old Ruby’s heart monitor flatlined, and then clifftops 2: electric boogaloo would have been the only part of the episode that wasn’t the cold open

How the hell did I get caught up in an argument about Dick's skin tone again? 😭

DRAW HIM ANYWAY YOU WANT, AND LET ME DRAW HIM ANYWAY I WANT.

My favorite part of 'next year in Jerusalem' is being in Jerusalem while singing it. It's not next year. It's now.

Zionism is not evil, it is not responsible for any sins in this world, and it is certainly not a modern invention. It is the fucking foundational premise of my religion, and it has existed before your shitty country, before my shitty country, and it will continue to exist long after every one of us are dead and gone.

"The notion of Palestine being Arab emerges, really, only in the 60s. because... what did Israelis do? the colonial era is over; the Ottoman Empire is gone, finally the British are gone, and the Jewish people finally, having outlived all these empires, going back to the Roman Empire, finally restore their sovereignty. What do they do? they do what every self-respecting people in history did when the colonial people were gone- they call the country by their name, right? so Siam becomes Thailand, and the Gold Coast becomes Ghana, and Palestine becomes Israel because Palestine was the colonial name and Israel is the original, indigenous name.

Once the Jews call the land Israel... in order to present the Jews as foreign, [...] thieves, interlopers, Arabs began to hijack the name Palestine, to say, actually we are Palestine, whereas previously everyone understood it was Jews. and I love it, because sometimes you see on the internet, oh look Palestine existed, and they show, like, the Palestine football team and if you look closely all the names are like [...] all Jewish [...] because this was the Jewish football team of the Jewish state in the making, and the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra was the orchestra of Jewish exiles that became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. So, this is a classis [...] hijacking of the Arabs of something that was very Jewish, in order to present the Jews as thieves, rather than the original owners."

Okay but what is the worst city in Israel?

I think the main reason I'm a bit let down about the well's monster reveal is that midnight wasn't so much a monster-of-the-week episode than it was a study on human behaviour, especially in high-stress environments.

the well had it's own story to tell. in fact, I really enjoyed it, especially how it incorporated a deaf character into the narrative and explored her isolation when people turned her back on her, disallowing her the ability to lip read or sign. the fact that the monster on her own back would sooner kill if she was to do the same thing speaks volumes, it was a really poignant message.

in fact, it was such a poignant message that I sort of fail to understand why we needed the story to have any connection to midnight at all. the monster worked in such a different way from midnight that it really wouldn't have been noticeable if they took out the parts that tied the episodes together.

midnight stood strong as a stand-alone, it didn't need any further examination or lore because it was never about the monster to begin with. adding any depth to that doesn't improve upon the story, it just waters it down.

in short, I really liked the themes of this episode, I just think it would have worked better with its own monster, instead of borrowing from one that needed no further development.

i feel like some of you are unable to wrap your heads around matt being a flawed person beyond "uwu my flawed traumatized baby"

he lies, he's reckless, he wrongs and disrespects the people he cares about, he's a hypocrite of the highest order, he decides that sometimes he knows best and that he is right to bulldoze over the motivations of other people.

after outing ayala as the white tiger in court — which i do think is in-character, he's a great lawyer but he's known to take risks and allow his daredevil-ness to bleed into how he presents his clients — he tries to moralize to hector with borrowed lines from maggie. matt, with his current rejectionist viewpoint on vigilantism, thinks he has done hector a favor by making it impossible or hard for him to be white tiger. he makes false equivalencies and says things that he knows are bullshit because he's deluding himself.

despite all his altruism (which he is currently going on a year of suppressing), matt is a spectacularly self-centered person. it's an argument he and foggy had multiple times. but as the audience, we can see the extent of it in a way that foggy can't: matt filters the world around him through the ways he thinks about himself. vigilantism lost matt his best friend, therefore it is not only okay but right for him to take the white tiger from hector (it would protect his loved ones).

but we know that matt is still experiencing a great deal of cognitive dissonance. it's not really as simple as "vigilantism bad" for him, is it? so we get matt saying things he would not otherwise say, not only to justify himself to hector but also to convince himself.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Meatball menu? That's horrible. I love it

It is insane to me that timestamps are optional on this webbed site. A major context clue is just opt in so I’ll reblog something from four years ago and people think it’s happening right just now like babe. Enable your timestamps. Why are you stumbling through the world with one eye closed?
