Something Funny About Torchwood Is That It Needs Trigger Warnings For A Lot Of Stuff, But Also Half Of

adding polls to tumblr was genuinely the best thing they done in the past decade or so like. bitches do love clicking on buttons. any time a poll is on my dash no matter what it is or even if i know nothin bout it i am clicking that thing.

tge first few eps of torchwood

I lived in a third story apartment my last year in Kansas and the tornado sirens went off and I just went about my homework because what are you gonna do lol

i've said this before but it's so crazy that some of you just grew up with tornadoes. if i saw one twister snake down from the clouds in front of my physical eyes i would become a mad priest for the rest of my life. and people from kansas are just like "lmao yeah that's why we had basement prom that one year" or whatevr

apologies to the doctors whose heads got covered by the post if I’d made it any smaller it became illegible

Saw a job posting yesterday that required "proficiency in ChatGPT"

the state of the job search these days is something fucking else man

The Doctor being able to to hear non-diegetic music explains why Eleven always fixed his bowtie so dramatically. Motherfucker could always hear 'I am the Doctor' blasting and acted accordingly.

oh i can't wait to finally watch children of earth i bet it's gonna be amazi- PETER CAPALDI?!

also hilarious that they brought back the Traditional Earth Ballad (“Toxic” by Britney Spears) in the episode that implies Earth no longer exists

There's something to be said about Heaven Sent/Hell Bent, despite the Doctor overthrowing the Time Lord Council and spending four and a half billion years in the confession dial and him and Clara and Me meeting at the end of universe, therefore technically spanning the longest time span, being fundamentally the smallest in stakes of any of the modern Doctor Who finales. At the end of the day, there is no threat to earth or the galaxy or the universe or reality. It's just about two people and the way that they turn each other inside out and the way that they reflect each other as two sides of the same coin and the way their relationship was always going to end this way- with the flip of the coin, spinning in the air, each trying to override the other, each trying to take control of the story, each haunting each other forever.

It's under my microscope. It's rotating rent free in my head. It's everything good about Moffat's writing- fairytale vibes, wrenching character work, two characters that thematically parallel each other- and none of the bad, because he's not trying to be too clever or fuck with the rules too much, there's a couple of simple concepts played straight to their inevitable conclusions: Clara Oswald needs to die but the Doctor can't let it happen, he wants her to forget but she can't let it happen, so they both will do the most devasting things in the world to stop the other and they both get their way in the end but only in a way that will leave them haunting each other forever.

And it's so fucking good.
