#but it’s so hard to not compare

[elliesgaymachete]

Genuinely torn between wishing thasmin had more closure in POTD and the same treatment as past doctors/str8 yt ships, and actually really loving the bittersweet ending and thinking that it made sense for both characters

Like obviously the biggest comparison is tenrose, they kissed multiple times for various reasons. Rose actually confessed her feelings. And even if Ten technically didn’t, his duplicate likely did and it ended with a kiss. Their arc had emotional closure.

Thirteen did basically tell Yaz how she felt in LOTSD that left so much open, and Yaz never got to actually tell her. Their romantic arc felt like there was no closure, like there was more left to be said. Plus Thirteen is the first doctor who didn’t kiss someone even once. what’s the difference here? Why didn’t we get that? Because they’re both women? Because one of them isn’t white? Both?

But ON THE OTHER HAND, after Thirteen talked about her feelings in LOTSD, I think she still feels bad about that and doesn’t want to pour salt in the wound when she can’t give Yaz what they both want. She wants them to just enjoy their time together. And I really think deep down both of them know that it won’t be the same with another regeneration. Yaz said herself, thirteen is “my doctor”. It makes sense that’s why the Doctor wants to be alone and it makes sense why Yaz gives her that, so Yaz chooses to leave. She leaves because she loves her Doctor and respects what she wants, even though it hurts. Yaz gets to live out the rest of her life, and that is enough to make the Doctor happy. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful, they loved each other and that love meant everything, even though they ran out of time.

I love the story, and the nuance and heartbreak is on brand for DW, but as someone who’s very passionate about representation in media it’s very conflicting when you look at the glaring differences between some of these relationships

transcript below the cut arranged into stanzas to help show where the rhymes are:

“that’s why they brought gem in? as a failsafe?” as a pawn. we were told to point her at whoever we need gone

“gem won’t hurt her allies. …yet.” the curse she carries will it’s had its eye on her since she lost the other eye she was specially selected for her hunting skill it’s quite the high honor. “wow. how generous.” we try

think about it: why does almost no one fight the curse? “given how fast scott killed skizz last season, i can guess.” [“any pain you spare your friends, you’ll have to suffer worse”?] it’s designed to shut down higher reasoning with stress

message from santa: "happy holidays post-it-notes! 🎄🥳 i know you very politely only wished for a few modest things- characters high fiving, or struggling in christmas attire- but i hope you'll still enjoy this given that i kinda went the opposite direction entirely! i'm an enormous fan of your work and most times you post anything i wind up browsing your art tag from tip-to-tail in enraptured delight. as such, i thought it was only fair i give back something a little more significant in gratitude for all the joy your work has given me. i knew i wanted to do a comic, so i was thrilled you already had a whole storyverse for me to work from!! this scene seemed the most obvious choice (chapter 8 of "wishful thinking" on ao3) given that i enjoy a dramatic fight scene 😂 i tried to stick as beat-by-beat to the writing as i could and worked in as many details as possible; i hope it'll be fun to see it envisioned this way! merry christmas! ~starflung 🎀🔔 "

I love your take on Crowley!

I know that the early, non-Diasomnia stories aren't really your thing, but are you reading the novels at all?

I have been following some of the fan translations and the second book seems intense! Would love to hear what you think about them.

thank you! 💚💚💚 I'm not really sure why you think I don't like the earlier arcs though, I love pretty much all the characters and their storis! (I think 5 and 1 are my favorite of the past episodes, though 6 infected me with the Shroud brainrot something fierce.) I just...ESPECIALLY love diasomnia. :') but there is room in my heart for all of these dweebs! like, who among us is not just as ride-or-die for Adeuce as they are for us.

that said, I don't really follow the other adaptations like the manga (aside from a dip-in just to see the new Yuus) or the novels, though I keep meaning to check them out! I do like seeing the differences between the different forms of media, and how certain things get adapted one way or another! but alas, time/a lack of accessibility stands in our way more often than not. :( someday...someday I will have time to consume all of the media...

isn't it interesting how the episode we know went through extensive rewrites was not the episode with the most violence but the one that was supposed to have high sexual tension between the leads (two middle-aged gay men), a gay wedding, and outright confirmation of the polycule

all the rise boys get done dirty on characterization by fandom in different ways i think. (not ALL the time every fanwork etc etc these are just like, trends i tend to notice?) every fandom suffers from losing character nuance.

- leo i’ve talked about plenty on this blog, how some of his canon traits (genuine belief in his skill and cockiness, capacity for joy, his manipulativeness whether for good or ill) seem to get watered down or wiped off the board and supplemented with generic sad boy. his struggles with purpose and identity and not wanting to fail somehow morph into “he hates and completely holds no value for himself”

- donnie’s canon personality gets blurred out and largely replaced with whatever list of Neurodivergent Traits. and i think there’s such a fine line to walk between exploring a character that’s been word of god confirmed as on the spectrum and overwriting what’s canonically there. it’s a hard needle to thread. it also feels like a lot of his canon emotiveness gets left off the table for some reason. bc he does have his moments of flat/deadpan delivery, but a lot of the time he’s honestly very emotive. he has the passion of a theatre kid and the vindictiveness of... also a theatre kid. and the mind of a scientist.

- raph loses so much of his rowdy teen boy energy it’s kind of wild? like interpretations sand off that he’s also impulsive and can be reckless and dumb and LOVES fighting and roughhousing and isn’t the most eloquent person. suddenly there’s this pitch perfect soft boy big bro who would never hurt a fly and always says the exact right supportive thing and singlehandedly raised his 3 brothers (which simultaneously sands off all the nuance of splinter’s issues emotionally connecting with his sons and how that affected all of them). and like i LOVE raph, he’s so full of love and care and anxiety, he clearly has learned to put a lot of work into being aware of his strength and size. but there’s a difference you know?

- mikey is like. where raph gets overparentified by fanon, mikey gets over “family therapist”-ed IMO. the impulsiveness, the goofiness, the powerful emotions including a VERY powerful temper, the flat-out dumb teen boy choices... they get ignored. suddenly there’s this only very sweet and earnest boy who has read a hundred psychology books and runs group family therapy weekly or something. he is crying in his room bc leo and raph are arguing about something. which is so. he IS very sweet and can be very earnest and is full of love! he HAS come in with his opinions and unsolicited advice a couple of times and life coached for the greater good. but there’s a difference between what he does in canon and the role he gets in fanon.

"the Gabe and Sally dynamic in the show is abusive" and "the way they've portrayed Gabe in the show is distinctly different from his book counterpart and fans can criticize that" are two discussions that can coexist

We all know about how Luigi turns into a fox rather than a tanuki when he touches the super leaf, but I also want to talk about how he's the only one out of his friends who doesn't turn into a normal house cat when he touches the cat bell?

This is a bengal cat (a common house cat breed):

This is an Asian leopard cat (looks like a house cat, but is shy and elusive in nature and requires an enormous outdoor enclosure):

Look at Luigi's ears compared to the ears on everyone else!

They're rounded!

His ass is not a house cat.

Very sad that rhe people who only follow you on xitter or instagram will never experience the silly chaos that its following you on this hell site

Between the lore dumps on tags and the very silly anon questions, I say it's 10/10 would recommend

Ah, thank you! There's just something about tumblr especially that encourages a little bit of silliness, personal touch and sharing your creative projects.

Folks on twitter and bsky are getting the highlights, it's a sleek but abridged experience, I don't talk about my characters there (the post format is just so ill-suited for that in my opinion). To get the lore and context you have to trudge through the unorganized chaos that is this very hellsite.
