I am only just now seeing "Consulting Producer: Brian Michael Bendis" and wow, that explains some of the bad vibes

Max lost the championship today and I need time to process.

I hate it when I'm the one to bring down the room with my pessimism (I call it realism) but this is the day that Max lost the championship. I see everyone being hopeful that Lando will bottle, that the McLaren is illegal (it's probably not, let's be real they would have caught it by now), that Piastri will divebomb and so on, but one thing is certain - that Red Bull is not getting any faster in the next few races. Even all those things mentioned above, we're looking at p1/2s vs p7/8s for the rest of the season. This is now 2 very different tracks in a row that the McLaren is miles ahead of the Red Bull. It's over. My pessimism is not only based on Monza. It's based on the fact that it's not even close. That it's not even in Max's hands. I just wish it was taken by someone other than Lando Norris. I wish.

someone pointed out that there are no iconic monsters from rtd2, in rtd1 season 1 we had autons, slitheen, daleks, empty child, in season 2 we had werewolf, krillitane, clockwork droids, cybermen

most of them were SO iconic to doctor who even if you hadn't watched an episode you'd be able to see one of these and think "doctor who"

as a kid i remember being soo obsessed with the lore for all of them, slitheen were interesting because they could be anyone, krillitane were interesting because they took features of the different species they conquered

they were interesting because they felt real, and scary, and threatening, so after 20 years I can still remember names like sycorax or the gelth, but i cannot give you the name of a single monster/alien from rtd2, and i think anyone who is a casual watcher wouldn't be able to either, because rtd2 would rather have something look expensive and cgi and stylish than giving it some good writing

and no child is running around the playground pretending to be chased by the robots from the robot revolution, the miscellaneous alien in the interstellar song contest, or...conrad ?

actually no children are watching doctor who now because rtd2 isn't written for them it's written to go viral on tiktok

being a people pleaser and learning that another person's feelings aren't always your responsibility to "fix" or "soothe" is very hard.

but unfortunately necessary. :/

me on august 26, 2019: years from now, decades even, whenever the name joan watson is uttered, someone will pipe up “IT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT SHE NEVER FUCKED HER SHERLOCK”

me on april 15, 2025, seeing multiple reblogs of a post with 11.6k notes that says exactly fucking that:

I loved Doctor Who (at least until it transitioned into a Stephen-Moffat-jerks-himself-off show) but this encapsulates my gripe with it so much.

Twt is exhausting for real

- 16yo does a bullshit callout thread against a public person (calling them things that are diffamatory, wrong, and without proofs)

- Public person qrt saying "lol whatever"

- 16yo cries that ppl want them dead or idk

Idk for you man, but back in my days we used to say don't dish out if you can't take it. And better to learn early the weight of your actions and words I guess

[pluckydean]

i finally bit the bullet and finished cobra kai. the ending was both as bad as i expected and also not as bad as i feared it would be, so there's that i guess. the thing about this show is that it has a few nuggets of purest gold that you have to dig through steaming piles of crap to find. but it is over now and i am free 🌈

Reducing Matt's very complex issues with trauma and abuse and mental illness and how they intertwine with his religious beliefs (and how all four of those things are often poorly misrepresented by bad writing that's been getting worse by the season) down to "lol Catholic guilt" gets you blocked by default. If you even care.

Im not too fond of some wags either but am I the only one who thinks creating accounts and discussing other people's relationships like they are your own is kinda creepy.

Like making an entire timeline and writing an entire fanfic in your head about how a situation developed and just presuming how each of the "people involved" felt? Idk it gives me a weird uneasy feeling.

I think sometimes we should remember we're discussing real people here and not characters in a TV show. How the drivers do or act, and their facial expression on a photo does not answer questions about the plot twist later on, or about what the characters are feeling deep down. These are people living their lives and you're invading their privacy by pretending to know exactly how they feel about something when even they probably don't know 100%.

Especially if we're talking about it like we have some right to speak on their feelings and explaining those feelings like they are our own. Idk it bothers me and im probably gonna get blocked but I had to say it.

do they literally only ever ask you for a routine blood test 2 days after you have a horrific relapse or something. help lol

[merrilark]

I feel like such a Debbie Downer when I see the majority going head over heels for certain romances in shows, and then there's me who really dislikes it and can't see the brilliant writing everyone else is seeing skgslkgs

Like. For Doctor Who, I look at Doctor/River and Doctor/Rogue, even the teasing we had with Doctor/Amy, and I just... I can't see the depth or intrigue there. They all feel shallow to me. Same with The Umbrella Academy and Diego/Lila or Klaus/Dave. People are nuts for those ships and I always feel like the show suffers for them because they're either not believable, have too little substance, or they have glaring issues that get brushed aside and treated as romantic.

I'm aware these might just not be my cup of tea, but sometimes I can't tell if the writing actually is bad and my thoughts about it are valid, or if I've just turned into a grouchy sourpuss who can't be satisfied.

Sometimes worried it's the latter LOL.

feeling insecure about reaching out for plotting after recent events. but will be in a car for most of my day if anyone does want to plot.

The only Aziraphale hate I see is when people complain about alleged Aziraphale hate. And it makes me just as miffed as seeing actual hate, so kindly stop tagging that shit or tag it with "negativity for ts" or something

[jo2ukes]

man. im soooo tired of ppl hating on g // ale but also esp like. when they're doing it, they're blatantly showing off that they don't understand basic bee gee three canon. it's all just wild mischaracterization and shit they made up.
