nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them
#i’ve been deep diving some fandoms that were on the back burner#and this gives me ten and Donna vibes#‘we’re best friends and I trust no one right now like you and I know you don’t want this#but it will keep you alive even while I have to carry the guilt of this betrayal and the loss of you#and so I will do so and I will not regret it because your life is worth more than something as simple as suffering or betrayal#and you will be stripped of the thing that you loved the most the thing that you never wanted to lose but you will be ALIVE��#I always kind of wanted Donna to call out the doc in the specials to be like#‘hey just so we’re on the same page you know you violated my autonomy right?’#not bc ~drama but bc it would be a retroactive echo of where the doctor got to as a person dealing with clara#like ‘yup. would do it again. no question. hope that keeps you up as much as it does me.’

doctor who spoilers under cut
"the rani hates the times lords" this, "the rani never had any love for gallifrey" that, "why would she ever want to bring back-"
spite and the joy of getting to be the big dick scientist in the room.
you exiled me for some overgrown rats? what the fuck ever, i thought you were dumbasses anyway, but when i pull off the biggest, baddest science experiment in history i'm also bringing your asses back into existence so you get to live with the fact i out-scienced everything you've ever done.
"she's too much like the master" ok real world talk for a moment, i do think when a single-line descriptor of both characters could be "high drama, camp megalomaniac with an intellect only surpassed by their ego" you are going to get overlap. i don't think that's bad writing per se, i think that's not enough time to differentiate the two particularly when they don't share screentime.
doylist perspective aside, those two clowns and the doctor have maintained their fucked-up friend group into the equivalent of a full-time career, which means they are never escaping the allegations, they are exactly the same type of freak, of course they are like each other and if the rani ever finds out missy existed she'll probably go lobotomize the master (again) for stealing her shtick.
#doctor who spoilers#i've probably spent too much time in the 'i will fix this bad doylist writing with watsonian heavy lifting' mines#but honestly this just tracks for me

Remembering this today. And the final ROAR of astonishment and delight as a dance form is suddenly reinvented…
#oh i have so many fun riverdance facts about this performance#jean butler and michael flatley are both irish-descended americans and were chosen specifically to represent the irish diaspora#they were actually under a LOT of scrutiny as americans creating a new idea of irish dancing until one of the guys#who is from the equivalent of the academie fracaise of irish dancing#snuck a sneak peek of rehearsals for this performance and gave his tacit approval#jean butler's dress basically fell off her when she put it on right before this performance#and a single safety pin kept her from flashing most of europe#irish dancing is usually performed on wooden or wood-covered stages both for acoustics and friction#this was a modern plexiglass or some variation thereof stage - therefore:#the sounds of the dancing were recorded ahead of time - all the dancers had to keep perfect time to not reveal that fact#and two - most of them had HEAVILY taped the bottoms of their shoes to maintain a grip on the stage flooring#a number of the original dancers from this performance went on to feature in the stage show that emerged#and breandan de gallai (one of the chorus dancers) eventually became the male lead for riverdance the show#eurovision#riverdance

I always see people on tumblr talking about being a "gifted kid" in school and although it's been a decade since I finished school I'm curious as to what exactly people mean by that, so:
People who are former "gifted kids", what specifically do you mean by that? (choose the farthest option down the list that applies)
-people had high expectations of me
-I had good grades
-I was in advanced/honors, but not AP*, classes
-I was in one AP class
-I was in multiple AP classes
-I was in an entirely different program than other students of my age**
-I skipped a grade
-I skipped multiple grades
-other
-I wasn't a "gifted kid"
*"advanced placement" high school classes which count as college credits if you pass an exam at the end of the class. Common where I'm from, not sure if they are anywhere else
**for some or all of the school day you participated in a program with a different schedule and which taught different topics than others your age studied
Thanks! 🖤

#skipped a grade (it was pre k so effectively I started school early)#also had the awkward gt table sessions in jr high#and then took pre-ap and ap versions of all the core classes#but I never took the tests bc we didn’t teach for them#and also my parents made too much to get a fee waiver for the costs and my school didn’t pay#so I guess multiple of these#I also had the highest grades in my class (not a flex believe me) so perceived expectations as well

everyone's always like "oh, what kind of caveman still has music files in this day and age? just use a streaming service like everyone else!" but does any commercial streaming service have the demo tracks from a never-produced musical that i ripped off the composer's website in 2007 using one of those programs that records your soundcard output? no! they do not! therefore they're useless to me
#this is an entirely accurate statement but also#OP I THINK I KNOW WHAT DEMOS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT#OP I THINK WE BOTH DID THE SAME THING

like your companions are fundamentally flawed and imperfect people who have their own biases and blind spots and they tend to look at everything in extremes. everyday there's discourse about how "well aveline is too much of a control freak and her views on law and order are structurally unsound" or "sebastian is a self-righteous hypocrite who hides behind his religion to justify his own selfishness" or evenfucking "varric is trying Too Hard to be your friend and it's really fucking weird and annoying" YES this is true and it's intentional and GUESS WHAT YOU CAN MAKE IT A POINT OF CONFLICT AND CALL THEM OUT AND HAVE THAT BE A CENTRAL COMPONENT OF THEIR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT RAUGHHHHHHHGHG!!!!!!! RIVAL ROUTES ARE GOOD THEY ARE VALID THEY ARE NOT THE "BAD" END IN FACT IN CERTAIN LIGHTS THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEPTH AND MEANING THAN FRIENDSHIP ROUTES DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSONAL POLITICS
#as someone who played da2 with very little knowledge going in#it baffles me how people have to contort their runs to get certain rivalries#I just wasn’t a total ass to people and told both fenris and anders they could suck my whole fuck they weren’t judge jury and executioner#and I rivaled both of them#my hawke was so mid just trying to do what she thought was the right thing and help people when she could#and that was enough to rival like 3 characters#because I didn’t agree when they were unmitigated asswipes#I’m not even joking I was POLITE to fenris and he was immediately rivaled#and that was fun#it takes minimal effort to just not kiss a companions ass#dragon age
