Idk man thinking about Caleb and Astrid and breakdowns. How the one time we see her have a breakdown it's so neat and quiet and private in contrast to Caleb's messy, public, even violent breakdowns. Do you think she looks down on him for not being able to control it? Do you think she resents him because Trent still wants him back even after all of it and she could never get away with something like that (does the specter of the hysterical woman keep her up at night)? Does she envy him because that's what freed him? And does that just cause the resentment to pile even higher because she could never allow herself to fall to pieces like that? Because someone has to stay in control. Someone has to keep it together.

Eddie starts a live-stream of him in the kitchen. Steve is behind him with his back to the camera, cutting vegetables at the counter. Eddie’s still getting the camera set up when you hear Steve say, “Oops.”
Eddie turns around and looks at Steve’s back, and says, “Uh-oh?”
“Uh-oh,” Steve repeats in a tellytubby voice and laughs at himself. He looks over his shoulder at Eddie before asking very, very casually, “Can you get the first aid kit? Nicked myself.”
“Yeah, sure. Gimme a-“ Eddie stops, eyes going wide when Steve turns around and the dish towel he’s holding to his cut is soaked through. “What the hell? Did you decapitate your hand? That’s not a nick!”
“I think it’s only decapitation if it’s your head,” Steve says but doesn’t fight Eddie when he starts fussy over him. It a pretty deep cut, but Steve thinks his suggestions to call Lucas is a little ridiculous. “Ed, I’ve been tortured. This is nothing.”
Fans in the chat are like, “??????? He’s been what??? Why was that said so casually?”

So, something I wanted to ask about is why is Seaglass less detailed than the other gems? I am asking this because she doesn't have visible nails, her feet look like paws, and her hair looks less like hair and more like blown glass. Does it have something to do with how unpolished her gemstone is?
No, she's just a baby.

just watched planet of the dead and my first and strongest thought is that dw is overtly racist to martha. we've got multiple specials where the doctor flirts with gorgeous white women and isn't at all put off by their interest -- in fact is shown to deeply enjoy it! but whenever martha makes any kind of overture, he reacts with dismissiveness at best and open revulsion at worst. when i was watching s3, i was very generous, because i was like "this could still be seen as dw's way of saying that it's only rose for the doctor, and anyone else is not going to happen!" but then we had astrid, joan, lady christina, ALL white women, all seen as worth the doctor's time and attention. martha is not. martha is an option that the doctor finds annoying.
there's this real emphasis on "rose and ten had this Deep True Love Story and that's why the doctor was a dick to martha!" but like. that is just categorically not true and the rest of the show demonstrates it by having the doctor show interest in and romantic appreciation for multiple other women post-rose. why was it the first black companion in new who that got the entire season arc about how she wants so badly to be loved by the doctor but he will never notice her??? why do we then watch the doctor delight in mutual flirting and canoodling with only white women? it's soooo goddamn disturbing and christina was really the nail in the coffin for me.

I’ve got good news for you! The rabies virus evolved to affect warm-blooded animals and requires temperatures around 36°C to 38°C (97°F to 100°F) to thrive. Which is the body temperature of your average placental mammal. Marsupials, however, have average body temperatures in the range of 35°C (95°F) and monotremes even lower, at 31°C (87°F)!
This means that marsupials (even your average virginia opossum) are too cool to get rabies. Literally! It’s not impossible for them to get infected with it and there have been documented cases, but it’s very, very rare. Not only that, but also since most mammals in Australia are marsupials and monotremes, the rabies virus is considered practically inexistent over there! So the Australian possums from that post have zero chances of giving you rabies. Being placental mammals, it’s much more likely that a colugo would get infected with it, but by what I’ve been able to gather from some cursory research, it’s not common for them to be exposed to the virus. I haven’t been able to find a single documented instance.
I’ve also got some bad news, though: you still can’t hold them because they’re wild and have teeth and claws. 😔 None of these animals grow very large but as someone who has been badly bitten by a very angry rat once, small animals ≠ painless bites.

my favourite thing about vip i think is that every single guest takes one look at vic and goes pathetic. rancid vibes. bad dress sense also. and vic's like oh no that's. i am a normal functioning person who definitely does not cry themselves to sleep. actually.

Sometimes I think about ATSV Pavitr's design, and I just. man thought an integral part of his costume is to have his hair out. like it's just there, a full mane of hair, perfectly styled with 0 effort, out in the sunshine for all to see.
He's so full of himself, to think that his hair is an important aspect of his presentation. Narcissus-level of self-love. You know I'm right, that the top portion of his mask is open so that his ego can just ooze directly out of his brain to moisturise his scalp and oil his hair
