It just occurred to me that the Master and the Rani were a couple on Life on Mars.

[child-of-the-danube]

The Rani's return has once again proven to me that I have a weakness for hot, intelligent, evil women like yes bitch what are we up to this time, some whack inhumane experiment that calls into question the ethics and limitations of science let's go how will we ruin the Doctor's day today

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

So new fav episode together with "Holes are bad" that I will be very normal about for the foreseeable future

Dad Trevor, dad Trevor, DAD TREVOR OH MY FUCKING GOD AAAAA

This was so sweet and heartbreaking and adorable and painful and I'm gonna rip the hair from my own scalp 😭😭

Asher, when I catch your ass I s2g. Your acting choices and talent are making me go insane

I'm not arguing with a big sad brown Bambi eyes himbo, whatever you say sweetie 😭❤️

This episode was fucking amazing aaaa, Rebecca Wisocky the woman you are!!!!

- All of the ghosts and Sam and Jay combined have absolutely 0 rizz. Just genuinely, purely, rizzless to the bone (ectoplasm?). They only, accidentally, attract those who match their funky little weirdo freak, as god intended 🙏🏻❤️ Especially Hetty and Isaac with their ye old mannerisms and centuries of repressed desires they only now get to set free. You beautiful idiots, I love you so much

- I love that they keep mentioning that H$ happened and making it clear that both of them were terrible at communicating and have no idea how the other actually feels/felt. I need Sam to lock these two in the vault for about a day and make them talk it out properly.

- The beauty of being seen being what Hetty actually missed in life. She was already desired before - as a piece of property (Elias), romantically (the painter, and Trevor y'all can fight me on that) and carnally (Trevor), she had all the money and status in the world, her name carries a legacy etc. but she never felt truly seen before oh my god. Baby just wants to be acknowledged as a person 😭😭

- The irony of Hetty towering over almost everyone, when not due to height then due to posture and presence, yet never feeling seen/acknowledged is not lost on me

- The only person rivaling her in that is Thor and he's also the only one who ever actively tried to protect her in whatever way he could. So, yeah, I will be crying myself to sleep, ok?

- Trevor never took her on a proper date?? Huh?? Either Trevor needs to step his game up or Hetty didn't even realize they went on dates cause her idea of a date is limited to her era, a.k.a, dinner and walks. Come on, they clearly had movie nights together, they had a double date (however bad it went) with Isaac and Nigel like pls YOU WERE DATING, NOT JUST HOOKING UP

- Hetty and Trevor both going for someone from Jay's family is hilarious and feeds my "H$ are two sides of the same coin" theories so well 💅🏻

- The difference in the way she talks about her past relationships. Elias is the ex she, rightfully, bitches about and honestly, she should do it more.

But Trevor, oh...

She gives Sunil the "for the first time, maybe ever, I felt seen" and then immediately goes "no, wait, actually..." TREVOR. The writers are setting this slow burn up so beautifully, thank god we're getting 2 more seasons of their shenanigans

And what if Isaac didn't give his room up? Would these "very-much-not-in-love-or-getting-back-together" idiots just...share a bed again? 👀

Power friends, my ass. They're enjoying this waaay too much

Scusate ma devo dire un po' di cose, altrimenti Ariston inizierà a bruciare al improvviso tra un po' di ore...

CHE FESTIVAL DI MERDA, CHE CLASSIFICA DI MERDA DIO LONGOBARDO AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Per l'ennesima volta ci è stato confermato che gli artisti che sono veramente artisti, a.k.a quelli che cantano senz'autotune, suonano, scrivono i propri testi, sanno fare un spettacolo - vengono puniti. Nessuno mi mai spiegherà l'esclusione di Giorgia dal top 5. MAI!! O le posizioni basse di una Joan Thiele o Serena Brancale...

Vabbè, immaginiamo per un attimo che si guarda come andrebbe la partecipazione all'Eurovision ........ Ok, abbiamo immaginato. E quindi qualcuno che mi spiega come la canzone più Eurovision è finita al 26° posto??? (i.e Gaia)

Si scherza che Sanremo odia le donne, ma raga, le odia veramente. 10 anni dovevano passare tra la vittoria di Arisa (che da un po' di anni viene sempre inspiegabilmente esclusa, pure "Canta ancora" hanno rifiutato) e la vittoria di Angelina. DIECI ANNI!!!!!

Elodie e Noemi, non so cosa dovrebbero fare di più per essere finalmente su questo podio.

Per le donne non va bene se portano una canzone radiofonica/Eurovision/divertente perché "non è arte, non è qualità". Non va bene se portano una canzone profonda perché "sempre le solite ballad noiose". Lo styling non va bene mai perché per la gente apparentemente non esiste niente tra "puttana" e "suora".

In conclusione, non va bene se partecipano 🤷🏻

Top 5 di nuovo solo uomini. Un "ex"omofobo che non sa cantare senz'autotune (buona fortuna, hai 4 mesi per imparare prima di andare in Svizzera e rappresentare il tuo paese), uno che spera di vivere in un mondo dove la maternità surrogata venga abolita, uno che... non ho tempo di scrivere tutte le cose che ha detto e fatto ma sapete bene di chi sto parlando.

Brunori e Lucio ci sta. Loro due meritavano il podio

Non ho nemmeno voglia di criticare Carlocò e il suo attitude, o il trattamento delle co-conduttrici, o la mancanza di rispetto per gli artisti in gara in generale. Meglio che sto zitta

Non sono mai stata COSÌ delusa. C'è una rabbia primordiale che sta crescendo dentro di me

I am NO better than a man

what I really like about all these vintage couple’s portraits is that there is a very certain romatic decorum kept up – certain themes and poses – which, while of course being the mainstream preferred view of couples repeated throughout many studios, are just… so nice to look at. 

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

the kiss on the bare shoulder (eyes perfectly averted), the cheek caress, the piano and the violin, the interrupted embrace, the woman tilted back as in a half-stopped dance…

I'm adding this string of photos for scientific purposes obviously 🫠

God Hetty and Trevor really have zero braincells when it comes to eachother huh?

Cause what I'm getting is neither actually wanted to break up, they both just thought the other did, got hurt and didn't know how to communicate it.

Also "not friends" like Hetty didn't have the pep talk about the snail with him and he didn't try to comfort her (in his way) about being Irish and I'm not even going to talk about Trevor's demeanor in "Holes are bad" after they find out how Hetty died + THEY'RE CONSTANTLY STANDING LIKE 2cm FROM EACHOTHER YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING IDIOTS YOU'RE MEANT FOR EACHOTHER AAAAAAAA

This whole episode was them outwitting one another the way they know best, you old married couple you

I am being very normal about this 🙂🙂

students from belgrade who walked to novi sad for two days arrived in the city last night. in novi sad, as well as in all the places they passed through, they were welcomed as liberators. thousands of locals prepared food and drinks for them, greeting them with applause and cheers. in novi sad, they were met by several thousand people who rolled out a red carpet and set off fireworks, and all the students were awarded medals. yesterday, news arrived that the serbian students had been nominated for the nobel peace prize. today, at three o'clock, three major bridges in novi sad will be blocked, with the liberty bridge set to remain blocked for 24 hours. after those 24 hours, students and citizens will decide whether to continue the blockade.

[child-of-the-danube]

I just had a very sad thought. Since Sass, Isaac and Thor were in the hole with Patience when Hetty died, the rest of the ghosts died later and she makes a remark how she didn't think the basement ghosts could even speak in S1 (and I doubt she'd even go to the basement on her own), does that mean Hetty was all on her own for possibly months in the mansion after her death?

I mean, sure there were the living people but they couldn't see her or talk to her.

Damn, both Hetty's life and early afterlife thoroughly sucked, huh? :(
