so impossible planet/satan pit... so.... s O... SO THE THING IS
the thing is they're possibly my favourite in all of doctor who?? maybe???? on a. spiritual. and also intellectual level. they're not necessarily going to make me cry the hardest, but they're. beautiful beautiful episodes
oof. so good. so so good. some of the best music to ever come out of a single-episode (double-episode), themes that go so hard into the kind of wonderfully philosophical religious questions that I gobble up + that event horizon/alien/the thing type aesthetic, not...gory ofc, this is still rated as suitable for kids, but my goodness the tension, the particular kind of horror it leans into in lieu of straightup grotesquery, the way "the devil" dialogue was written and performed. and then rose taking charge and making sure everyone left (sans poor jefferson... and toby, but toby was already dead) made it out. the trust between rose and the doctor in this one is Peak!
"if I believe in one thing. just one. I believe in her!" fuck you spooky horned guy!!!
and then to top it off it introduced the ood!!! my favourite darlings of the nu!who alien roster. these episodes blew my mind as a kid, and while I'm not Scared scared by them anymore (having watched them a dozen times), I can still feel that tension throughout
and that ending!!!!! apparently the last thing billie piper filmed was that ending, and it's always made me so emotional. I don't know if it's that s2 is just emotional to me, or that there genuinely is this buildup (but it feels like there is), when the doctor and rose aren't together this season, it hits harder -- girl in the fireplace and satan pit both play with this idea of them being torn from one another (funnily enough, with the doctor being the one who's gone into someplace and unable to return)
I also appreciate the restraint to not bring back this being for a future episode in order to explore it more. considering the fate of many a who-villain is to be prodded at into unrecognisability, thank you for letting this one (and the one from midnight) remain unknowable
I note a tiny bit of the score was lifted from s1 dalek, which makes me draw parallels of a kind between the two, even though I'm sure that's not intended, it's just a banging bit of music that never appears again. bit where the dalek reveals itself and tells rose to order it to die and it lifts into its crescendo, that's the one that comes several times in especially satan pit, notably when the doctor and rose reunite. stuff of legends indeed. the violin in this one is just. it's too good. it's something doctor who ought to be appreciated for more -- although it is to an extent as a whole, but the individual episode themes are often fucking killer, and this one is the most so
and at the end they start reading off the ood who were killed (all of them) out of respect. the way this theme is picked up again in s4, I just! stellar, perfect, wonderful, no notes, Music, spooks, aliens, emotions, thematic follow-through, knowing that the doctor and rose are soon going to be torn apart leaving the doctor a shell (until donna) but for now he's grinning and laughing without restraint at rose (well the both of them) making it out alive, fuck yeah!

TW: lap sitting, other than that just fluff :)
Hazbin boys x wheelchair user!reader 🎀
Lucifer 🍎
Often tries to push you around everywhere. He just wants to help but if that bothers you, he’ll happily give you space to wheel yourself around.
Will still do other things to help you out too like open doors for you, adjust tables so you can sit at them comfortably, goes to get you something you might have forgotten just so you don’t have to push yourself all the way back to it.
Sorry but he’s gonna very randomly and very frequently sit in your lap. He likes it, it’s comfy and it’s always right there fully open for him. He’ll just fall into your lap, wrap his arms around your neck and nuzzle his face up to yours.
Very helpful with other things you may need help with like reaching things that are too high up or assisting you when you need to get out of your chair for any reason.
WILL ABSOLUTELY PICK YOU UP AND CARRY YOU SO TIGHTLY AS HE FLIES YOU TO WHEREVER YOU NEED TO GO
“Luci, babe…this is kinda extravagant, don’t you think? I just needed to go talk to Husk, I can get myself there just fine.”
“Yeah, but I get to touch you this way~”
What a flirt, omffggg ❤️🔥
Angel Dust 🕸️
So many dirty jokes and horrible pickup lines.
“Oooh, best seat in the house~” as he sits on your lap before covering your face in giggly kisses
“Yeah, I think they fucked up their legs fallin’ for me.”
“Fuck you, Angel!” And now he’s cracking up laughing while also apologizing.
He’s actually kinda a worry wart so he’s gonna check up on you a lot. He knows you’re strong and brave and you’re used to this by now but he can’t help but worry about you all the time.
He knows you can handle yourself but he worries about others picking on you and taking advantage of your disability
His fav pastime is sitting in your lap while you wheel yourself as fast as you can down the long hallways of the hotel
Sitting in your lap while you do wheelies gets him squealing with laughter
He also offers to push you pretty much every day and if you say yes, he happily takes over while you sit back and relax. If you say no, he totally understands and follows along beside you still.
Very much understands any boundaries you have about you and your mobility. Hes a consent king okay?
Although he never asks before he grabs the handles of your chair and yanks you all the way back until you’re nearly parallel with the sky, then he smirks down at you before leaning in for a hot and passionate kiss. Not too long later, he sits you back up to your regular position and continues on his way, leaving you a blushing mess with your heart beating so hard you think you might die again.
And he never gets over the shocked face you wear every time he does that. He loves that shit 🩷
Husk 🃏
Okay this guy is so nonchalant about it like “okay cool…and?”
He sees that you are used to this, that you handle this with such grace and skill. You impress him everyday and he adores youuu~
Will often offer to help you up on the barstools if your chair is too low to reach the bar.
Holds doors for you, always runs to push the elevator button for you, just likes to go out of his way to be a gentleman for you.
Even if you insist you don’t need his help, he’ll argue, “Baby, you’re my partner. I think my love language is acts of service or some shit like that. I dunno, I tried to read the book and got tired. But I love ya so you’re just gonna have to get used to me and how I show love. Trust me, I’d do this stuff no matter what.”
He’s honestly just such a polite and considerate guy when it comes to you. He doesn’t never mean to be overbearing or treat you different, he just wants you to be comfortable so he always tries to push you around.
“Husky, I can push myself.” You sigh as he takes hold of the handles on your chair and brings you along to the bar with him.
“I know you can.” And he’s just smirking from behind you as you roll your eyes.
And his pace will slow for a sec as he leans over to kiss the top of your head.
He just really loves when he’s pushing you and he sees your head tilt back and your shoulders relax- you just seem calm
Sir Pentious 🐍
Homeboy is absolutely gonna try to invent and build cool shit for you. Mostly just cool add-ons to your chair like something to make it smoother or faster or more sturdy or even add a cup holder? Idk
If you ask him not to push you around, you will not have to tell him twice 🫡 he respects you and your boundaries
Buuttttt he is often seen resting one hand on the handle of your chair as he slithers along beside you throughout the hotel
He just wants to be touching you in some way and touching your chair is enough for him.
Loves to come bounding up to you with exciting new projects he’s working on and will wrap his entire self around you as he shows you his work
“Pen? Can you push me back to my room? I’m just so tired…” you ask him after a long day of helping out around the hotel therefore a long day of pushing yourself around.
He’s actually so excited and full of love rn, like he’s beaming with joy as he nods and rushes to you.
“Yesssssss, my darling! Anything for you~”
And he’s so fucking careful with you- we all know Sir Pentious is a clutz and a goofball but he is so extra cautious when pushing you around.
Makes sure not to bump your feet or knees or any other part of you into anything.
Goes sooooooo slow over any bumps, humps or ledges.
Asks like 457 times if you’re okay and smiles everytime you say “Yes, babe. I’m good. Thanks.”
Vox 🖥️
Does not mean to offend but he tells you he would happily build something that could have you up and walking with ease.
If you’re down to try, he’s more than happy to experiment!
If you’re more than happy staying in your chair, he completely understands but still tries to give your chair some upgrades.
Adds a phone to your chair so you can always contact him
Also watches your every move everywhere you go through his cams bc he doesn’t want some dickhead to think they can take advantage of you
Loves when you come into his work room where all his screens are bc it’s a bit crammed in there so it can be hard to get your chair around. Therefore, Vox loves to pick you up and sit you in his lap while he works.
He’ll press soft kisses to your neck and let his claws travel up and down your arms as you melt into him
And when you finally ask to go back to your chair, it turns into a playful fight.
“Aww, (Y/N). I was just getting comfy. What if I just keep you here.” As he hugs you tight, speaking in a teasing tone.
“Vox, I swear to Satan! You better put me back in my chair right now or-“
“Noooo~ I don’t think so.”
And he just continues to enjoy your company even as you pout and huff.
Alastor 🩸
Always uses his shadow or his tentacles to lift you up and whisk you around.
Doesn’t ever really ask for permission or even warn you before he picks you up and carries you to and from your chair.
“Oh! Alastor. I can do it on my own. Really, I’m fine.”
“Nonsense, sweetheart. The pleasure is all mine. What kind of partner would I be if I didn’t assist my love with getting around?”
He doesn’t have much of a filter, nor does he understand boundaries or personal space
So he will just grab ahold of you and wheel you around to his hearts content regardless of your protests.
One time, he unexpectedly rolled you up to his radio tower, wearing a particular cheery smile.
“Come, dear! I’m just about to start my podcast. Care to join me~?” He holds his hand out to you from across the room, waiting for your okay
As you give him a nod, his shadow lifts you and carries you to him as he sits at his desk, you being lowered down onto his lap soon after.
“Lucky you! Up close and personal for tonight’s show. Aww, and look at those flushed cheeks! What a doll you are~”
Alastor loves to sit you in his lap and then make fun of how flustered you get. It doesn’t happen often, him getting all close and touchy with you so when it does happen, you always panic and start stuttering.
He really gets a kick out of you being in a less than ideal situation and not being able to get out of it without him letting you. He’s a sick fuck, what’d you expect? He does it out of love~ ❤️🔥

(parallel to this)
Ruby: *In dancing clothes and fancy sneakers* What? You won't go to the club? But I thought you loved to go for a night out!
Yang: *In oil-stained coveralls* And in normal circumstances I would go with you, Rubaloo. Heck, I'd do so before you even finished that sentence. My bike, however, is in need of some maintenance.
Ruby: *Pouting* So the one time I'm actually okay with you coming along, you just happen to be busy? After all the times I didn't want to get dragged along? Is... is this some kind of payback?
Yang: Maybe, oh sister mine. *Gives a coy smile but doesn't elaborate further* Anyway, why you wanna go now?
Ruby: Ugh, fine. Well the place is holding an event that's a bit fancier than usual. If I go there... Weissmightbetheretooandshelllookreallypretty!
Yang: *Grinning* Oooh, got yourself a little crush now, don't you squirt?
Ruby: Shut up! I just think it would be nice if you came along too...
Yang: And it's definitely not so I can pull you out of a situation. Like say when you get flustered or too dorky and can't speak with the pretty white-haired princess anymore?
Ruby: Hmmph, then I guess I should say that Weiss will probably bring that friend of hers too?
Yang: Friend?
Ruby: Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. Dark hair, amber eyes and if I remember your words correctly "hips that are to die for"?
Yang: *Rips her coveralls like they're tear-away clothes, now in a party outfit* Ruby, you're supposed to start with that kind of info! Get moving, it's party time!
