When your addicted to Pearl Mackie/Bill Potts
Classic Who // New Who Parallels → “Ruth” celebrates what she believes to be her 44th birthday. The broadcast date of this episode, January 26, 2020, marks 44 years and 2 days since the January 24, 1976 broadcast of the final episode of TV: The Brain of Morbius, the last episode to explicitly suggest pre-Hartnell incarnations of the Doctor.
You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report.
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.

Hi could you do one where Yaz, Bill, and Ryan have more in Common than traveling with the Doctor
“So, like… you’re into grime, then?” Ryan asked, his eyes widening in awe at the prospect. “Cos that’s super uncommon in most girls, I mean… Yaz doesn’t even know what grime is.”
“I do so,” Yaz shot back, frowning good-naturedly at him. “Stop making out that I’m super uncool.”
“You are super uncool,” he reminded her fondly, reaching over and ruffling her hair. “Like, totally and completely uncool. But I bet Bill isn’t. Are you, Bill?”
“I dunno,” she gave a nervous little laugh and a half-shrug. “I’m a bit of a nerd, but yeah, grime is sick. I reckon we could get Yaz into it, what do you say? Couple of nights out…”
“Oh god,” Yaz groaned. “I’ll just prepare for a hangover now, shall I?”
Hi could you do one where Bill is about to be forcibly married to a beautiful alien princess and the doctor is trying to save Bill but she isn't sure she wants to be saved
“Bill, come on,” the Doctor said urgently, holding out his hand to his companion and casting a furtive glance around them. “We need to go.”
“Why?” his companion furrowed her brow and shifted from foot to foot, brushing a non-existent speck of dirt off her improvised wedding dress. “What’s the big deal with this whole thing?”
“Xanthippa is an incredibly powerful alien. She could kill you without even meaning to.”
“But…” Bill dithered, chewing on her lip. “She’s…”
“She’s what?” the Doctor sighed, not understanding her reticence. “Bill, come on! You can’t seriously be considering this!”
“But she’s kind of…” Bill turned maroon. “Cute, y’know…”
“Dear god,” the Doctor groaned. “You are an absolute disaster.”
Remember these guys well apparently they AREN'T twins 🤯
