Not sure. But I bet Rose Noble did.

Do you think one of the side effects of the metacrisis is that Donna sometimes gets songs stuck in her head that she's never fucking listened to before

But how can we watch this in the US?!?

Reprising their roles as the Doctor and companions to go on a timey-wimey spin down memory lane in these unmissable adventures are; Maureen O’Brien as Vicki and Peter Purves as Steven, Frazer Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoe, Katy Manning as Jo and Daniel Anthony as Clyde, Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor and Janet Fielding as Tegan, Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri, and Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace.

Wow! I am amazed that

A) these are happening and

B) They've kept the whole thing a secret until two days before release!!

This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot. I love seeing younger folks getting into long term fandoms. Only way to keep the work alive. And the over 40 crowd (my peeps!) need to show them the way.

There is no reason you have to stop being a full fan because you are lucky enough to keep living past 40. You are still you. I love seeing young people discover fandom and older people sharing it with them.

tbh shoutout to the over 40s on tumblr, sorry the internet acts like yall belong in the retirement home when ur literally just regular adults with hobbies

This is so important. And I hope if anyone comes across my posts they take the time to read this.

Your personal triggers and squicks do not get to determine what kind of art other people make.

People make shit. It's what we do. We make shit to explore, to inspire, to explain, to understand, but also to cope, to process, to educate, to warn, to go, "hey, wouldn't that be fucked up? Wild, right?"

Yes, sure, there are things that should be handled with care if they are used at all. But plenty more things are subjective. Some things are just not going to be to your tastes. So go find something that is to your tastes and stop worrying so much about what other people are doing and trying to dictate universal moral precepts about art based on your personal triggers and squicks.

I find possession stories super fucking triggering if I encounter them without warning, especially if they function as a sexual abuse metaphor. I'm not over here campaigning for every horror artist to stop writing possession stories because they make me feel shaky and dissociated. I just check Does The Dog Die before watching certain genres, and I have my husband or roommate preview anything I think might upset me so they can give me more detail. And if I genuinely don't think I can't handle it, I don't watch it. It's that simple.

This is so true. I was having this conversation with someone the other day. I was talking about how I take naps. She said she couldn’t. I told her to just lay down and rest. She didn’t have to sleep.

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

Or sometimes it is “You must scratch my chin. NOW!”

Trainability in cats is a funny thing.

My cats understand and will obey a number of verbal commands, one of which is “go away”. I don’t use it often, but if they’re bugging me and I’m trying to work or doing something that could be dangerous for cats, I can tell them to go away, and off they go - they’ll only keep pestering me if there’s a serious problem they need me to look at.

That said, their idea of a serious problem that requires my attention is somewhat eccentric. Previous instances have included:

There was an unfamiliar car parked across the street

Their water bowl was four inches to the left of its usual position

One of them had puked on the stairs and they didn’t want to walk past it

It was raining

One of them saw a weird bug

I love David Tennant and now I love Fennec Foxes. Thank you internet!!

Day #697 of David Tennant as a Fennec Fox 🦊 @neil-gaiman

I do want to gobble him up.

Aziraphale Of The Day: he's so cute I want to nibble him (affectionately)

I know that when you’re struggling with your disability it’s easy to tell yourself that you’re acting entitled, that you’re lazy, that none of your peers or friends or coworkers need to rest so much or need so many adjustments to get through the week. Truthfully, no they don’t need to! Because they are not you, they are not experiencing what you are. Try to quiet the comparison in your head telling you to live up to standards set for the abled. You know what you need, and a good first step in dismantling shame is reminding ourselves that we cannot be measured by anyone else.

I think I like watching David Tennant and Michael Sheen kiss more than I should.

i think this scene wouldve been better if they made mr brightside the background music

[abbierhoad]

I think about this a lot.

We don't know what's canon for sure, but based on what we see:

Aziraphale and Crowley had never been kissed before

They've never been hugged before

(Until Jim) neither had heard "I love you" before

Neither have said "I love you" before

No one's said "I forgive you" to Aziraphale

Crowley's never made friends

Aziraphale and Crowley sleep through every night alone

They've held hands twice, only to swap places

They've always lived alone

And they haven't yet been together without fear

I love this show!!

sometimes a family is a 2000 year old alien college professor, his oldest friend and enemy who he's tasked with keeping imprisoned for the next 1000 years, his kind of cyborg, kind of frankenstein's-monster-ed together friend who's been sent to keep him out of trouble by his recently deceased wife and the chip serving lesbian he's tutoring/going on time travelling adventures with despite her not even attending the school
