Doctor Who Is Literally About Time Travel, It’s About Exploring The Past As Well As The Future.

Andrew Minyard is demiromantic.

I rest my case.

It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰  Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.

Bad Batch episode three Cody rant-

yes, Cody DID learn a lot from Obi-Wan, such as how to negotiate properly, but i think it’s also important to recognize that that’s just who Cody is and who he always has been.

Cody has ALWAYS been undeniably kind and has ALWAYS had a good sense of right and wrong. this is why he’s universally loved by every single clone we see- the Batch who hated regs loved him from the start, including Crosshair. every battalion we saw him interact with has always had a DEEP respect for him because he is, fundamentally, a GOOD person. he’s one of the best people we see in all of Star Wars.

that’s not something he learned from Obi-Wan. thats just who he is. and i think that’s something Obi-Wan really loved about him.

Cody is to the bone a kind and caring person. he is extremely loyal to those he loves and there is nothing that matters more to him than those he considers his family- that’s why he was calling his troops by their name, even when no one else was. that’s why he was genuinely distraught when Nova died, and had to be bodily pulled away from him even thought his own life was at risk. that’s why he was kind to Crosshair even though no one else was willing to even sit with him.

Cody is his own person, just as Obi-Wan is his own person, and while they absolutely have a lot of similar traits, those aren’t things they gained from each other.

Cody didn’t suddenly start being kind because Obi-Wan taught him that- we know he’s been like that since he was taking Rex under his wing on Kamino, and did the same with every other troop he encountered. he’s just an intrinsically caring and deeply kind brother. he didn’t decide to start vying for peace because he thinks Obi-Wan is dead. Cody’s ALWAYS been a fair person tries to hear everyone out. that is just who he inherently is, just as that’s who Obi-Wan inherently is, and that is the reason they love each other so much.

i think the reason this episode was so good at showing just how good of a person Cody is comes from the fact that he is alone. he is entirely in command. there is no Obi-Wan there, there’s no one he has to listen to, he is the sole commander here. and yet, even at the pressure of his superior officer, he doesn’t loose his morals at all, and consistently shows how kind and sweet he is. he isn’t doing that because of Obi-Wan, he’s doing that because it’s who he is, even with the inhibitor chip.

of COURSE he would question the Empire and leave as soon as the chip started wearing off, and of COURSE he’d carry the guilt of Order 66 squarely on his shoulders. he is a great example of someone who knows right from wrong and people who ever questioned him don’t understand his character at ALL.

THEY WENT ON A THREE MONTHS LONG VACATION THEY MOVED IN TOGETHER THEY LEARNED TO CARE FOR EACH OTHER ON BAD DAYS THEY FELL IN LOVE EVEN MORE WITH EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY THEY BOUGHT A CREDENZA AND A BED AND THEY BUILT A HOME THEY HELD CHRISTMAS AT THEIR PLACE THEY WOKE UP AND FELL ASLEEP TOGETHER HENRY LEARNED TO COOK TO FEED ALEX WHEN HE FORGOT TO EAT JUNE AND NORA KISSED AND HENRY GAVE UP HIS TITLE AND DECIDED HE NEVER WANTED TO GO BACK IF IT MEANT BEING AWAY FROM ALEX AND ALEX TALKED TO CATHERINE ABOUT MARRYING HENRY AND THEY BOTH HAD A RING READY TO PROPOSE AND HENRY WROTE A BOOK AND THEY GOT ENGAGED AND DECIDED TO MOVE TO TEXAS AND HAVE SOME QUIET THEY ARE SO IN LOVE AND SO HAPPY

I’d like to give a big shout out to the writers behind this new season of Shadow and Bone. It takes some real cajones to rush a story and sink both major ships after baiting the women who drove the interest for years and then turn around and ask them to support your spin off.

no YOU’RE listening to sw:tcw soundtrack while procrastinating writing

totally not me

Cody: *physicallf carrying Obi-Wan out of the war room* Come on, General, it’s go-the-fuck-to-sleep time.

Obi-Wan: Ahh. Go-the-fuck-to-sleep time. I know it well. It’s the most sacred three times of the week.

Cody: *stops dead in a corridor* …please tell me that was a joke?

Obi-Wan: I would never joke about go-the-fuck-to-sleep time. It was Master’s favorite time the first few years we were together.

Cody: *closes eyes and counts to five* We’re going to talk about all that later. *keeps heading off to Obi-Wan’s quarters, with more purpose this time*

prayers for a bad batch season 2 trailer today

13 mins into S2 of Shadow and Bone and I'm already cringing at the dialog.

Still not over the fact that parenting a Herondale requires such specific advice that Tessa reached out to the only other person alive who's successfully done it in the last century
