They choose to be mostly Human. They choose to fight for humanity. And most importantly, they choose each other.

To the world.

Good Omens is the perfect show. Unapologetically queer, questioning religion, hierarchies, rules, established orders. Features two characters who don't have much and it's always at risk of being taken away but who fight; for their own peace and for one another, always. Despite them being ageless and theoretically immortal, they deal with fear and anxiety and pain and loss and grief. And all that because they allow themselves to. Because they think humanity, the things we have; love as we have it, is worth it.

Highly recommend this show.

100%.

"Hey, nice to meet you. I will potentially be open to pretty much anything but I can't tell rn and won't know for a while yet, so please bear with me."

Being demisexual and bi is funny to me. Anyone can hit it but you must suffer The Gauntlet first

Holy shit, Tumblr has gone toxic in the last few days. I'll be temporarily blocking the #doctor who tag.

I agree the episode has a ton of issues, but no amount of problems (imo) justifies the absolutely vile comments and hate I have seen recently. Everybody on the show is trying their best (if you refuse to believe that, there's the door, nobody forces you to be here).

For my mental health and sanity, I'll stay away until those people all calm tf down and are willing to have actually productive conversations.

@y-ddraig I went back and realized that we DO know about Belinda's home life before the Doctor abducted her, I had completely forgotten about her drinking expired milk from the carton.

My above points about people with kids being badass stands, but I agree with you that changing Belinda's backstory completely is fucked up. My starting point for the above post was "we didn't know anything about her before the Doctor, so that might have been her actual life", which I realized was very much wrong.

Choice is still everything, and in this case Belinda didn't get to make her choice. Wtf?!

I don't really have the headspace or energy to do a proper rant but changing Belinda from a like strong willed person who wants to go home and not travel with the doctor by choice, into A Mother Who Wants To Return To Her Child is such fucking bullshit.

I don't quite get your point? Belinda is and has always been an strong-willed person who chooses what she wants. Nothing has really changed. She is still a brilliant nurse and absolute badass. Having a daughter does not change that about her. She chooses to not travel with the Doctor at this point because her priority is Poppy's safety.

One might say "she'd like to but can't travel because of the child". That is a direct consequence of her choice to be Poppy's mum and she embraces it.

Having a child does not make anyone any more or any less of a person/badass and the only important part is that Belinda chose this life for herself (and I'm saying this as someone who does not ever want to have children of my own).

Choice is everything.

I don't really have the headspace or energy to do a proper rant but changing Belinda from a like strong willed person who wants to go home and not travel with the doctor by choice, into A Mother Who Wants To Return To Her Child is such fucking bullshit.

"Try shifting your third strand of phenotype markers one micro-spasm to the left. Just might help."

I am highly confused by Time Lord genetics...

I will just decide to head-canon that as Thirteen nudging the Doctor to be female-presenting again. No need for Time Lords to have sex-determining chromosomes as part of their genome, so whatever gender they present as is just a phenotype/variant. Low key love that, not gonna lie.

O_O but also *-*

Can you imagine? The Red Line being reliable AND fast? I shudder to think of the possibilities. What's next, a South-North Station connection? 🙊

busses are better than trains. clearly there's a lower floor but you can just invest in them (for way less than investing in dedicated train lines) to make them good and fast

Do you think we - collectively - can make "tables don't do that" happen as an expression of "you are absolutely right to have doubts, this doesn't make any sense"?

Pretty please?

[cardassianexpats]

So many have thought up elaborate schemes to defeat the Doctor. Villains using technology from the far future and literal legions of enemies have tried and failed. And all this time, all they needed to do was put him outside of some doors that "pull" to open.

[cardassianexpats]

All of the above. It will likely be an absolutely crazy plan that has no right to work out the way it will, but he DOES have a plan. My guess is that Crowley is in on it, but I'm willing to discuss that point.

"aziraphale has a master plan" do i need to remind you that his plan for season 1 was bad magic tricks, a board with some string, a centuries old prophecy book, and then—AFTER finding him—he just decided actually i will just talk to god and that will fix everything. oh crowley you are being hunted for sport by hell? too bad. goodbye. god will fix all of this.

finding the location of the antichrist by analysing a book is not a plan. he is smart, there is no denying that, but his faith in heaven has ALWAYS stopped him from actually making any plans because he thinks the right people will fix everything. that's the entire damn point.

[cardassianexpats]

Love a Doctor Who episode where the villain is not actually evil, he was just an entity that's been treated horribly and is now lashing out to protect himself from the hurt. Once again, Belinda being the real hero here.

Hurt people hurt people.

Such a powerful episode, great writing, great acting, the set was amazing! I cried twice.

From An evening with David Tennant at St. Peter’s Church :), 13.3.2025 (audio by serdarim0 on twitter <3)

Q: How do you then find that vulnerability?

David: Well, the great thing about those characters is that, you know, in a world of humans, they are the two supernatural creatures, and yet they are much more human than any of the humans. So they are... they are... they are the sort of... they are quite humble, they're quite open. They're sort of the audience's way into this extraordinary mad world. So they are very vulnerable, actually. And I think they need each other so much and they're so reliant on each other. So, you know, I think that I get Crowley. I think I get who he is. I think there's something very understandable about him and his need for his friend and his inability to express that. That's very Scottish Presbyterian.
