I think Roy Harper is the personification of all those “my unemployed friend on a Tuesday” memes. Even if he was employed. Like you’d walk into his home and it’s just full of Contraptions. He just does Things and the purpose is unintelligible
Jason is like this too but in a less noticeable way. Roy is like “I welded a toaster oven to my assault rifle to see if it would do anything when I zapped it with a taser” and Jason is like “I read four textbooks and wrote an academic paper about the Mesopotamian grain economy”
“what did you guys do today”
“we liberated a country and then I built a motorized couch that’s technically street legal and then Jason blew up the road couch”

"300 tracks"
you know those hand signals tyler does during the line "300 tracks in my Adidas track jacket"?
i, like probably everyone else, assumed that was him signing 3-0-0 with his hands.
but no. he's signing F-0-0.
consider the ASL signs for F vs 3:
yeah, he's definitely signing F there
so what does F-0-0 mean? well, funny thing about that--you know hexcodes? those 6 digit codes that indicate a specific colour? well, there are also three digit codes as well, where you basically double each number to get the full 6 digit code. wanna guess what #F00 is?
yup, that's pure red babey!!
and, better yet, wanna know what its complementary colour is?
why it's pure cyan of course!!! y'know, like the whole __cla_im00FFFF.jpg = CLAIM CYAN = I AM CLANCY thing.
tyler, you sneaky sneaky bastard.

hey! psst! over here! hi, okay i need to tell you about holding hands with abby!!
firstly, your arms are a’swinging between your bodies. like all the time. (you guys look like a grimm’s fairy tale couple, but you don’t die a gruesome death so you have that going for you).
sometimes your fingers are interlaced, sometimes you cup each other’s palms. sometimes it’s only a few fingers that keep you tethered to her. *swoons*
to make you laugh, she’ll start shaking her arm, which shakes yours all over the place too. it gets you every time.
you guys are kissing the back of each others hands like you’re courting in the 1500s, even though you’re actually in the ice cream section in the grocery store on a normal tuesday night.
when you want her attention, you’ll take your free hand and curl it around her bicep. she’ll look towards you, humming in response.
but by then you totally start to grow bashful under her HEART eyed stare, and you look down and press your forehead against her shoulder like the lovesick sap you are. she’ll squeeze your hand three times: i. love. you. like the sap she is
and now you’re TWO love sick saps deciding if you should get mint ice cream or rocky road for your movie night <3

ok ive thought about it a bit and i dont like it. sorry. i think it fufills that kind of instant dopamine rush of pure spectacle and the idea of the doctor needing a fucking break is good but essentially splitting a fragment off of him to go have all that off-screen feels like wish fulfillment rather than good story. its also like. RUSSELL THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOUVE BROUGHT "SPLITTING DAVID TENNANT TO HAVE AN ORDINARY LIFE" TO CLASS. LIKE WE DID THIS BEFORE.
FUNDAMENTALLY the part that most upsets me about it is it feels motivated by the same nostalgic urge that bringing back DT had in the first place, which ended up being a decision I enjoyed but I still think is rooted in this fear of change and this avoidance of tragedy. Tragedy and sadness provide catharsis, they really do, and doctor who is a show about change. It feels...emotionally stunted, in a way. like RTD is giving us pool floaties because he doesn't trust us to swim in the deep end of the pool. Its the same cautiousness that I found particularly upsetting about Chibnals tenure, and the same cautiousness that motivates the endless steam of reboots under late capitalism.
I like to HOPE that this will be resolved in the near future just as I'm HOPING biregeneration will also be explained. At least we got to see Ncuti's ass
EDIT this post i made in 5 minutes intended for my mutuals has brought me nothing but misery. Please take a film class and listen to the new Suede album. thank you
