As much I as love Martha's S3 ending, how it means so much to me on a personal level, the whole "Martha Jones is so strong she doesn't need the doctor" has never sat right with me. Her strength should be praised, but the only reason Martha was strong is because she had no other choice. It was be strong or let Ten keep putting her down across time and space. It was be strong or let Joan Redfern be racist to her. It was be strong or let the Family of Blood murder everyone. It was be strong or let her family get tortured. It was be strong or let the Master kill you for fun.
Martha doesn't need the doctor because she had to outgrow him for her own wellbeing, not because she inherently cares less about them compared to everyone else.
Had she been treated with kindness and grace like every other companion, she could have "wanted" him like the others. It's wild to me how in a show about the magic of space and time the first Black companion's main thing has to be... that she doesn't have to have any of it apparently. This othering dressed up as a compliment of how unique she is. You don't set someone on fire then congratulate them for putting out the flames.

steven quartz universe is a wild character because never before have i simultaneously had various facets of imagined scenarios in my head where a character is either: cis+, nonbinary, a trans boy, OR a trans girl before
like you could genuinely go ANY direction with this character and still come up with a satisfying and interesting bit of character work for Why gender is the way it do be

Why do you sign your posts with an image? It's fairly large and disruptive on mobile
It's part of my brand and the followers who regularly talk to me love it.
Plus I've already reduced my typing quirk as much as I would rather double down on it at all times I think it's fair I get to keep my signature.
also given that this is my house and yall are the guests here you gotta deal with my weird wall decor <3

i already have so many gripes with the original show and how they handle aang’s character arc and his relationship with katara/how they disserviced her by putting her in that relationship and i don’t trust netflix to fix ANY of that in the slightest, in fact i think they’ll probably make things i actually like about the original even worse and the actors are so young too oh my god Kiawentiio get behind me and it’s gonna be another horde of new fans rehashing the same tired old discourse i cannot do this again helpppp

I’ve seen your birg art a lot and I love it so much! You even inspired me to start my own alien worldbuilding project. But even after seeing your many birg drawings, I still can’t get a handle on their anatomy… do you have any posts that break down what their bodies look like/how they function?
I am assuming you mean external anatomy, correct me if I’m wrong and I may consider a more comprehensive anatomy post in the future. In the meantime, here are some posts that you may find useful.
Some sketches of birgs at various angles and positions here
A drawing of a birg’s skeleton here
An animation of how their jaws move here
Animation of how they breathe (slightly outdated but good enough) here
And some fresh sketches just to give you a convenient overview of their joint positions and examples of hand motion.

Part of the reason I think people are under the impression that punk and, by extension, anarchy is at the core just animalistic, primitive rebelling against everything is that so many people can't imagine a work without systems of power and even oppression. A "better world" can't exist without these systems of power, so any attempt to go against it will be seen as a fruitless endeavor... we already live in a wonderful system, you see, why would you rock the boat by suggesting that we could do better for others?
