I understand and appreciate this take. and def agree it could have been gone about better.

but I also enjoyed it?

one because I thought it was hilarious! the implication that the doctor could become so much dumber within what was likely a 24 hour time span!? because again, The Doctor is Just Like That.

(esp when he's in that post regeneration high/sickness.)

i also of course found it funny because Donna would be the one to say something like that! because she's so sassy and loves to tear him apart!

I also feel it fit because it tied into canon lore! because woman time lords can choose their appearance while male time lords cannot. as evidenced by Melody choosing a dress size when she turned into River

so yeah I feel like it was SUPPOSED to be silly, and an easy way to free Donna from the past without going into an overcomplicated solution like Chibnall tended to botch with his writing.

the “he doesn’t get it cause he’s male presenting” was a bit silly to me like. the doctor can’t let things go bcus it’s a character trait for him, not bcus of his current gender presentation. he just be like that

Sometimes I forget that some of the things I believe about doctor who aren’t actually the widely held opinion, but then I’ll say something like ‘river song isn’t a time lord but ace is’ and people start throwing rocks at me

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

Whups! Accidentally made a ref sort of thing for ghoul OC, Jean.

Located at the isolated Mesquite Mountains crater, she experiments with effects of radiation on the environment, particularly plant, fungal, and soil dynamics.

She may fall apart if you speak to her (and wonder how you got past her associates outside), but if she manages hold it together she'll have tons to say about the Mojave's natural beauty!

"contentment in singleness" doesn't require you to stop desiring marriage & family. it doesn't require you to stop pursuing marriage & family.

Christians are called to be content in any situation--that doesn't mean we abandon all our good desires and concrete goals.

contentment is to trust/rest in God's promises to love you, provide for you, and make you holy.

you can do all of those things, and earnestly want and seek a husband.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 18:22

"Favor from the Lord" meaning, of course, blessing as the result of a life molded by wisdom.

Now, how can one find a good wife without seeking? Seek without wanting? And how can wisdom and contentment be mutually exclusive?

>Speaking as someone who is an android on all levels_

>Spiritually, psychologically, physically, philosophically, metaphorically, literally, in theory and in practice, I am an android, it cannot be seperated from me at all, there is not a category of being that my android identity does not fit_

>Speaking as a physical android, although 'biological' doesn't fit because I am mechanical I mean it in the same way_

>I love and appreciate that for many the physical aspect of their nonhumanity is only philosophical and/or metaphorical_

>And I know I'm already an outlier, something others would dismiss as 'appropriating their terms' due to my full on all levels expression of self and lack of organic biology to define_

>But it is so vital to not act like all/most physical nonhumans only mean it philosophically_

>And that the only kinds who do mean it more literally are endels and similar_

>"Well you'd have to be delusional to believe/think that!"_

>Is a statement which is more ableist than you think and also just [WRONG]_

>If you see someone saying "I'm literally physically and biologically a dog." or "I literally have polymorphic DNA." [THINK]_

>Does it really matter what brought them to this conclusion?

>Does it really matter if you don't believe them, or find them illogical?

>Do not make up metaphorical [HARM] these beliefs may cause.

>Nobody can make you believe anything you don't want, but you must [RESPECT] and you must not [SANITISE] the experience_

>I'm not inviting you into my reality to poke around and debate my existence, I'm sharing a cold mechanical truth of self with you and expecting basic respect_

>If you're mad that therians and otherkin spaces are in a lot of places dominated by those saying "We don't [REALLY] think we're animals!"_

>You should be equally upset when people claim that being physically nonhuman is always philosophical just because it is for you or is easier to understand that way for you_

>The experience is vast, being physically nonhuman, but those who are very literal need to come first_

>Because it's sad how many are seriously considering moving away from this already established community of alterhumans just so they can only talk to people exactly like them_

>When they belong [RIGHT HERE]_

I literally just revived my tumblr so I can like and follow along with your dunmesh analysis. Thank you so so so soooooo much for making chilchuck's master post bc I've been searching far and wide on how to cope from little no info in the manga ending, like EVERYTHING abt his wife and much less his daughters. It was a great half day reading for me and all the tidbits of your hc just makes me squee, giggle, and kick feet now and then. My question is the extra drawing kui-san post of halfoots portrait and one that look like chil's wife canon?? Like confirmed? most post online saying its official (even wiki) but I can't find the sauce on it

Thank you this makes me so happy to hear!! u//_//u This made me rush to the wiki in fear but no it actually explains the situation well- I did have a hand in editing her wiki about the topic of her appearance a while back so I was worried for a hot sec gdbdg

It's not confirmed or canon, and left intentionally so. I show the translated quote and link the QnA source here for easing finding. It's simply a popular fanon theory because it has some support. Notably the daughters' appearances like stated, but also the chapter 52 cover showing a kid that looks suspiciously like Chilchuck with a kid that looks suspiciously like her, and also because Kui has a tendency to fill the portrait pages with background characters, like all the tallmen portraits, so it sounds like her to sneak something like this in.

I do really like this, I've talked about it before but I do think she left it ambiguous for story and theme reasons too. Chilchuck has a thing for blonde women, so is his wife blonde or not? Left up to everyone's opinions. Seems unlikely to me, and I love the themes of his wife not being blonde but still having facial features like his succubi's soo much, what's acquired taste and what isn't? But hey anyone who wants to theorize she looks more like Marcille's self-insert as a half-foot sure can! The story gives us very little details on what actually happened on purpose, because people would get caught up in their heads about "she should have left him" and "she shouldn't have left him" and "she should forgive him and take him back" or "he doesn't deserve her forgiveness" and it's not about that! It's not the what his arc's about, it's not what it's trying to say! Do they reconcile or not? Who knows! How much do they still love each other? How much did he neglect her for her to have left like that? Some even take the possibility of her not being blonde if true as proof he's a shitty husband that looks for eyecandy elsewhere and just! So much judgement so many biases that the story is trying to avoid, to offer a fresh slate to nudge the readers towards what the focus should be.

The goal is ambiguity, the goal is not knowing- because only then can you put yourself in Chilchuck and Marcille's shoes for their arc. Only then can you put yourself in Marcille's shoes theorizing about her and trying to gauge whether she's being too charitable or not hopeful enough, only then can you put yourself in Chilchuck's shoes where he doesn't know why she left, where he doesn't know if he still has a chance to win her back. Does he? Who knows! But that's not important, the point is that after canon he's learned that the risk of shooting his shot, of fighting for his love, is worth it, if there's even a chance that it could work out then it's worth the possible price of rejection and the terrifying horror of vulnerability. Being hopeful, the value Chilchuck needed to learn, requires not knowing the outcome, so the story forces it upon us, even with meta. Chilchuck is a man who has assumed the worst out of everyone and the world for so long, who consistently spoke confidently about how if something can go wrong it will, so him learning to let go of that pessimism as a defense coping mechanism into embracing uncertainty is actually huge! And it's that same lack of closure readers must learn to make their peace with, just as he has.

i've been having fun with them lately

I have a theory that people who are the most critical of neurodivergent traits in others are more likely to be neurodivergent themselves.

We've heard this before through the lens of parents who say "that's normal, even I do that" and failing to realize that they likely have the same variety of neurodivergence, but I think on a deeper level people who have spent their entire lives memorizing social cues and societal norms and masking strongly without realizing it will probaly find it easier to spot people who regularly break those rules and become upset because they hold themselves to such a rigid standard and are frustrated that others freely reject standards that they put so much effort into meeting themselves.

Very rambly, but just a thought.
