honestly, i am so deep into magical girl fandoms that i forget their focus on female characters and sapphic ships isn't the norm in every fandom. like i was just watching this video because i needed some background noise while i drew

and i was so blown away by how male centered all the fandoms featured here are. m/m ships are the front and centre while f/f ships and female characters are pushed to the back. even in fandoms with a more platonic/family oriented focus, the relationships between male characters always take precedence over those of female characters. and you can't tell me "well, the female characters in x media just aren't well written" because male characters can be worse written and fandoms will take what little personality they've been given and make so many aus, hcs, fanart, fanfics etc. bbc sherlock fandom gave a male character who never even fucking appeared in the show a whole personality, backstory, characterization etc but never bothered to do the same with the female characters they claim were poorly written.

and honestly, its so sad. because there's so many good female oriented media and f/f ships out there but they just won't get the attention that male oriented media gets because people always need a man in everything. you can use the excuse of the female characters being poorly written all you want but even in media where they ARE well written, they get pushed aside in favour of men.

and god forbid you call this out, especially if you're a lesbian, you'll be accused of being homophobic and hating all mlm. i've seen it happen so many times on twitter. just because someone criticizes how mlm always gets precedence over wlw, doesn't mean they hate mlm. mlm rep is important but it sucks how its always given preference over wlw just because people prefer following men's stories than women's stories.

fun fact, during Capaldi's tenure as The Doctor, three different regulars from The Thick of It showed up as guests!

Rebecca Front (Nicola Murray in The Thick of It) guest starred as Colonel Walsh in s09e07 - The Zygon Invasion

Tony Gardner (Dan Miller in The Thick of It) guest starred as Douglas, the hungover scientist of s10e07 - The Pyramid at the End of the World

Chris Addison (Ollie Reeder in The Thick of It) appeared in three episodes of the 8th season (The Caretaker, Dark Water and Death in Heaven) as Seb, Missy's AI interface assistant.

Out of the three, Capaldi only shared a scene (actually two scenes) with Rebecca Front, though - which is apparently more than enough for a silly little dialogue crossover mashup:

The ultimate goal would be to gather all the blorbos together and put them in the same room. And I mean ALL

You bring me the Doctors with the universal translator so Eponine can hang with Elizabeth Bennet & Fanny Price and I want Legolas to meet Benedick from Much Ado about Nothing, not for any particular reason, I just want to know if they'd be friends. I think Marianne Dashwood would love Gilbert Markham and and Jane Eyre needs to have a serious discussion with the second Mrs. De Winter and maybe they could both give some advice to Rosamund from A Long Fatal Love Chase. What do Gandalf and Merlin think of Prospero and Howl? Can Princess Bubblegum do some mad science with Viktor Frankenstein?

The possibilities are literally endless.

We have one chance. Right now, it's weak. It's injured. It's starving. But when the sun comes up, it will feed and grow strong. We have to lure it back through the portal before that happens, before sunrise. Now, I've got a plan, but I need your help. DOCTOR WHO — The Eaters of Light (S10E10) directed by Charles Palmer | written by Rona Munro ››› Rebecca Benson as Kar ››› Peter Capaldi as The Doctor

Concept: lock the two psycho redheads in a room and watch the drama unfold

Will they murder each other or become besties? Who knows

[deweydecimalchickens]

i just really hope there's an outtake from The Zygon Invasion/Inversion where that one UNIT soldier tells the Doctor to "fuck off, Malcolm!"
