What’s wild is that Type: Null (at the time) was the only one of its kind so the fact that it COULD evolve was a concept Gladion did not know about. Was Type: Null a Pokémon created to evolve? Because the Aether Foundation created Type: Null to “fight” Ultra Beasts. Or did Gladion love and care for this Pokémon so much (and of course type: null loved and cared for him just as strong) that it broke free if not only it’s mask but also it’s genetics. It genetically grew stronger with Gladion to protect/continue to fight with him. I can only imagine Gladion’s surprise! The Dex even says

“Although its name was Type: Null at first, the boy who evolved it into this form gave it the name by which it is now known.” (-Moon Dex Entry)

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...

you ever interact with another tumblr user off-site and they do something that makes you realize that you're from fundamentally different ecosystems?

anyway someone just told me "i like your shoelaces" and i don't know how to politely explain to them that if you've been here long enough, that counts as a death threat

Love that the TARDIS remodelled with a bunch of entirely unecessary walkways seemingly for the sole purpose of letting David Tennant run around them like cat enrichment shelves

The thing is Clara Oswald was always insane. But she is an insane woman who also happens to be a control freak. So she controls herself very very tightly.

When she first met the doctor, she ask him to come back and ask her tomorrow. This is not because she doesn't want to travel with him let's be real, we are talking a bout a woman whose most important possession is a travel book. She WANTS this. She wants this so bad she is afraid she has to test herself by first refusing. Test that she is still in control. So she asks the doctor to come back tomorrow.

This denying of herself to prove that she is still in control is imo what her story with Danny is. She wants the doctor. She wants the adventure, the travelling, all of time and space and the excitement of it all. She is also in love with the doctor, so much it scares her. So she put boundaries: the doctor is a hobby, she only does it on specific days. She is not in Love with him : here is the proof, she will date someone else. She chose Danny and that's why she stick to her plan even when their first date sucks ass, even when their relationship is rocky. If it feels forced it's because it is, she is forcing herself to be normal. "life would be so much easier if we fell in love with the right person, but then there'd be no fairy tales" Danny IS the right person, he is even cosmically mandated because she saw their descendant, but he is not the one Clara loves, because they are in a fairy tale.

When Danny dies it's her control slipping, she is now fully embracing her addiction to an unhealthy degree that yeah, might be fueled by her grief, but I think was always there, under the surface, tightly controlled by the control freak.

I don’t even know how to explain that one.
