Manuscript section in the Moscow Lenin Library (Russian State Library), 1950s

I think the other goal was the politicization of the Master - making him sort of an analogue for new labour and more specifically Tony Blair also, I imagine, changed the character quite a bit

the main thing I’ve discovered is that almost every issue with Simm’s characterisation can be traced back to RTD deciding insanity was the lens through which the whole character should be viewed

Counterpoint: the first time the hideous creatures inside the dalek shells are revealed

I still think the most horrifying dalek moment was when they sucked that dude’s face off in series 2

Strong Aeon Flux vibes

Last week I was sitting around and decided to see if I could animate… so I made this gif of Portal 2 Chell. 

It was SO MUCH FUN. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist doing more nnngg. (wow I had to wrestle with this to get Tumblr to accept it sorry if the quality is kinda bad I have no clue what I am doing)

There’s a new thing on the site! Which falls less in the “overwrought analysis” and more in the “bitchy Discourse with a capital D” category on the spectrum of DoWntime post, but …

Some people really like Steven Moffat. So, when there’s a new sheriff in town as far as mainstream Moffat discourse is concerned, especially when said person peddles quite strange narratives, these people might be tempted to launch themselves in a big retrospective covering at the same time the problems with most critiques of Sherlock, the actual flaws of the show and its writers, and the aesthetics and problematic aspects of YouTube discourse.

These people are, in this case, me and the most brilliant William Shaw (https://williamshawwriter.wordpress.com/); who each contributed two essays to that project. This right here is the first one, penned by Will, and tackling the confronting visions of Sherlock and the divide between writers and audience.

It'a originally from the 1972 Making of Doctor Who book by Terrence Dicks iirc

Friendly reminder that the rather poetic line “never cruel nor cowardly” that appears in both Day of the Doctor and Twice Upon A Time originated in the 1999 Doctor Who spoof The Curse of Fatal Death

Imo that was in the top 3 most evil scenes in the movie

reblog if you think ‘Wonder Woman Crosses No Man’s Land’ is the most iconic standalone superhero scene in all of 21st century superhero films so far

Every time I saw the new outfit with the sleeves I kept thinking I recognized the look from somewhere. Then someone made the comparison.  I don’t think Twelve’s regeneration aesthetic is an accident.

This is obviously anecdotal, but I remember getting participation trophies for my mediocre 2nd grade soccer team, and also for pretty much every science fair project. Counterpoint: I don't think it fucked me up at all and there are many other aspects of the american education system that fucked me and many others up much more thoroughly.

what fucking participation trophies though

I will say it makes the long bits of silent physical comedy more bearable.

Finally getting around to watching the animated power of the daleks. Very weird thinking that this is going to be the standard way of experiencing this story in the future considering it lives in my head as a loose cannon recon.

Nice charlie chaplin photoset

My stupid internet platonism theory is that all sites in the vein of reddit/tumblr/twitter are distorted reflections of 4chan, the void at the center of the internet
