that's... not how it works. you can't guarantee that your work definitely won't squick anyone. what do you think you're saying?

Like, the segregation conversation was not only an opportunity to give PoC fans a chance to feel that “this shit sucks and we see you, and you can do and be anything no matter what” feeling that DW is great at giving to everyone else. But like. It would also have been really good addition to plot and character building?

Belinda’s ENTIRE THING with Fifteen in the first episode is “oh my god you are dangerous I fucking hate it here”. How fucking COMPELLING would it be to follow that up with her getting swept into the novelty&excitement of time travel the same way other companions are before sharply being hit by yet another way that excitement and whimsy puts people in danger. “oh my god I was so swept up in the clothes and the time travel I didn’t even think about it? why is THIS the first place you brought me do you not realise how dangerous this is??? Do you not understand the reality of looking like us here and now? WHY is this not a problem to you oh my god you aren’t just dangerous you’re stupid???”

And having that shit hang over them all episode? The distrust? The fear of having “racist society” hanging over you ON TOP of all the weird alien/god shit??? Belinda realising that despite currently being a black man the Doctor seems to have little to no lived experience of being a human of colour, he’s as much a danger to himself as he is to her (Again, it would have been GREAT if Belinda had been the one to come to the “being here is illegal” realisation on her own rather than being told as if she isn’t someone who would know this shit)

Even just making the sequence in the cinema with the cop be REAL would have been better!!! Maybe the “save it for later” line could have come back and Belinda could fucking snap like “IS NOW LATER, DOCTOR??? ARE WE TOO BUSY TO WORRY ABOUT IT NOW???”. Then that would also be a great follow up to Dot and Bubble’s conflict at the end, where the Doctor is finally realising how much harder his life has become now that he looks the way he does, and this time he could take Decisive Action to protect himself and Belinda rather than passively letting racist shit happen. And then fucking APOLOGISE TO HER FOR SHUTTING HER DOWN.

Idk there’s just so many missed opportunities in everything RTD writes rn. He pays lip service to difficult topics and proper character moments and then spends the rest of the episode with his dick in his hands and it’s so fucking frustrating

Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Anduril but of less lineage and he bore also a shield and his war-horn. 'Loud and clear it sounds in the valleys of the hills,' he said, `and then let all the foes of Gondor flee!' Putting it to his lips he blew a blast, and the echoes leapt from rock to rock, and all that heard that voice in Rivendell sprang to their feet. 'Slow should you be to wind that horn again, Boromir,' said Elrond. 'until you stand once more on the borders of your land, and dire need is on you.' `Maybe,' said Boromir.

this is funnier every time i read it

the way this is written there is no impetus for boromir to describe and blow the horn. i am picturing that 'off-screen' so to speak, maybe pippin or somebody pointed to the horn of gondor and said 'hey whats that' and the answer was OH ITS SUPER LOUD ITS TOTALLY SICK LET ME SHOW YOU FWEET FWEEEEEEEEET but maybe that didn't happen and boromir really did this with zero provocation.

everyone in rivendell freaked out

'friendo, do not blow that thing again until you are back in your own country, and even then, it had better be dire'

'Maybe,' said Boromir

Does anyone know that meme-y video/gifset of like

Where there's like a woman walking down a high street looking like 😱 at every shop/sign because they all sound like gay stuff (like, a Lebanese restaurant, and she goes 😱 because that sounds like lesbian, or something)

Y'know?
