That said, as funny as the Claire and Yaz ‘your person’ exchange was for how much of a brutal slam it was to 13, I feel like it’s also pointing out through the parallels with Claire and Yaz in that 13′s as aware of Yaz’s feelings for her as Bryon is aware of Claire’s for him but like... Ignores them because it doesn’t Work for him. 13′s reasonings may be opposite to Byron’s, but she’s still ignoring Yaz’s feelings because that really isn’t a thing she needs right now. 

I mean, the doctor isn’t an idiot and this one IS socially awkward but she also tends to weaponize that awkwardness to get away with things she’d get into trouble for if ppl thought they were from maliciousness instead of cluelessness (She like... Slams ppl a lot. She slammed Robinson in arachnids with the whole ed sheeran thing, she does it to the supervisor in kerblam when he’s mean to kira etc etc... She gets away with it because she acts earnest and cute when doing it and it’s easily misread as obliviousness on her part, the victims are usually shown to look confused in the next shot as if trying to work out if the were just insulted or not. It’s a method and it works for 13), so the idea that she’s playing off her own awkwardness to make it seem like she’s oblivious to Yaz’s feelings isn’t farfetched at all, imo. 

Because she knows. 

Yaz asks to keep traveling with her and Leads with wanting more time with her, Then adds on the thing about the universe afterwards. And says she’s like the best person she’s ever met in the same scene. Yaz then spends the rest of the season sending the most hearty of heart eyes at 13 whenever possible, is all big smiles and soft looks, when 13 praises her she Glows (the glow at the praise thing lasts longer than the heart eyes, which pretty much disappear during orphan 55 due to the events and 13′s behaviour due to trauma, but the praise thing i saw happening in nikola tesla’s night of terror as well). 

She’s got it bad. 

I mean, Yaz obviously developed one hell of a thing for 13 during s11 when she was putting her on a pedestal (always unwise, people are people, But in this case i feel like Yaz deserves more of a pass since 13 was putting on her chipper happy good person routine and deliberately obscuring her less pleasant qualities from them all), and then it got more complicated in s12 when 13 didn’t so much fall of the pedestal as much as she kind of threw herself dramatically off of it by being a Massive Bastard in general and after a while just Forgot to portray her hopeful visage of the previous season), but during s12 Yaz then had to deal with the fact that yes, the doctor is very much just a person with issues and faults and problems like any other person, and while this complicated her feelings about the doctor they obviously haven’t gone anywhere, which is what that conversation with Claire told us. 

This helpfully led us into the finale, and perfectly sets us Yaz’s behaviour during the timeless children, she’s emulating the doctor by jumping in head first with little forethought, is genuinely militant in her desire to find 13 and save her from the master and doesn’t react well to 13 going off to sacrifice herself (that scene is Painful. Ryan having to be strong for 13 because Yaz can’t do it Hurts). 

And i mean, i knew all of this before the ny special aired, and i figured there was No Way that Yaz was going to let this go but it was so much worse than i imagined, Yaz was literally Obsessed. She was camping out in the other tardis filled with theories as to what/where/when 13 could be, notes stuck to walls, she was literally The Meme. 

Which is what brings me back to the doctor. That thing where she used the other tardis as expendable in her ‘i am the doctor and the doctor kills daleks’ identity crisis. The same tardis that still had all Yaz’s notes in, still had Yaz’s camping out gear in, had all the evidence of just how Yaz has spent months and months and months dedicated to 13. 

That missing moment that we couldn’t ever have seen where 13 has to go into the tardis to set it up for her plan, runs in full tilt because they need to hurry... Stops. Quietly looks at what surrounds her. Is very much blatantly confronted with the Depth of all this in Yaz. 

The Doctor already knew. They didn’t make that Claire and Byron comparison for no reason. But did she know How much? Well. I think she does now, and while i’m not necessarily sure it would terrify her in the state of mind she’s in right now (like, atm she’s in crisis, if anything this is probably Convenient to the suddenly almost alone identity crisis doctor, but Normally? This is the type of thing that strikes terror into the doctor’s hearts for a variety of reasons), but it’s irrefutably something she knows about fully and can’t be denied anymore. 

She’s going to have to react eventually, she can’t ignore it forever.

1 I don’t think you must have loved harry as much as you say you do if you’d rather have him keep quiet and go back to a place where he has now directly told the public he was unhappy in and where it was some of the worst years of his life. He BEEN saying it and you just don’t want to listen because you’re attached to this image of the brf you have in ur head lol. It’s not a perfect family and they used harry as a scapegoat since he was born. Due to his good nature and to the fact that he’s

2 the good guy we know him to be he tried to stay and make it work but when his family backstabbed him and his new wife he’s more than entitled to walk away. Like seriously. And realize what kind of person William is please because it’s getting weird. Harry doesnt have to do anything for William and Kate specially since they are grown adults who benefited and instigated some of the hate against meghan.

3 I’m glad harry is safe and happy now and I don’t get how you can talk about him like this now just because he’s bursting your fairytale ideas? But ur a fan? Alright sure. This is a real family and not a family out of a storybook. If you like him only when hes playing jester in that palace but cant like and respect him now for healing himself and correcting all the lies those ppl told about him then simply drop henry if he no longer fits into the delusions. I am proud of him.

I’m not entirely sure how you could possibly suggest that I didn’t love Harry as much as I thought I did (still do). I mean, I got on a plane by myself and flew 3,500 miles one way to go to his wedding. Bet you’re new around here so you didn’t know that, though. I’m proud of him for doing what’s right for him - even if I hate what it came to, which I did, do, and will forever. I can be proud and also criticize the way he went about it, the way he continues to go about it. You should be able to do the same.

I look at Harry from a nuanced and complicated point of view. He is no saint. He is not above being wrong. Not entirely sure how you could come here, believe every tabloid ever written about William, Kate, Charles, HM, etc. and simultaneously say that he’s been used as a scapegoat, that he’s been backstabbed, that he spent his whole life playing jester in a palace - tabloid fodder in and of itself. You either believe it all or you don’t. The tabloids are the tabloids and if you’re going to assume that they’re all incorrect attacks on your fave then you have to assume that they’re all incorrect attacks on your least fave. You have to believe that Harry’s escaped the tower while believing that William desperately tried to help and protect his only brother and bring Meghan into the family. You have to believe that Harry has insulted/disrespected the Queen and abandoned Sentebale and the children he vowed to support forever and was jealous of his nephews and niece and also believe that William cheated on Kate with Rose, that he’s the kind of person you think he is. You have to believe either that Harry is the person you think he is and William is not or believe that Harry is not the person you think he is and William is. The tabloids you yourself are quoting in this message are your only source - you can’t deem them credible and false in the same breath. You can’t pick which tabloid fodder to believe based on whether or not it makes your fave look good. It’s all the same bullshit across the board, and you have to realize that. Otherwise, you kind of sound like an idiot, which is what’s going on in this message.

You say that I see him as a caricature, that I see him as a pawn in a game that I thought I controlled, that I do not believe he is a human being with thoughts and feelings and perception and nuance. And yet here you are, putting him on a pedestal that no real human being deserves, because real people are flawed and wonderful and cruel and kind and everything in between - Harry included. I see him as a person - same as you and me, even with the title and the money and the influence and the power. I see him as best as I can for what he is, flawed and wonderful and cruel and kind. You’re the one that views him as a caricature, one-dimensional and infallible and blameless, the same way that you see William and Kate as caricatures, one-dimensional and ruthless and unredeemable.

My words - especially my criticisms - prove that I see him - and the rest of them - as complicated, multi-faced and multi-dimensional, who are neither fully perfect nor fully imperfect, who have pros and cons to their person the way that you and I do. Being able to recognize that he is flawed, multi-dimensional, a real human being is the best and only way to prove that you care about him, that you want him to be happy and safe and comfortable in his life, whatever it looks like. Putting Harry on this infallible pedestal and tossing the rest of them to the side, like he’s a damsel in distress, Cinderella-type tortured hero taking his life back while the rest of the family are Cruella de Ville, the evil stepmother is turning the very real lives of Prince Harry and the British Royal Family into nothing but a sitcom, a cartoon, a Disney movie. Nothing but a story for children. Nothing but a set of characters. This point of view does him a disservice. He deserves better from his fans, his admirers, from you. He is a human being, and he deserves better.

He’s no damsel in distress and the family is no evil trap keeping him hostage until his knight in shining armor broke him free. That rhetoric pigeonholes them all into caricatures. You can’t do that and then accuse me of doing so while I’ve been doing the opposite and have since the very first day I posted on this blog more than seven years ago. You’re not making any sense - every word of the message you just sent me is a contradiction in and of itself. Like I said earlier, doing so makes you sound like an idiot.

bulk

~~mod~~ OK here’s the bulk. ill add to the comments.  Before anyone asks my opinion on it or how i feel about it ill just say it.. I don’t care and Im not bothered by it,  I haven’t liked her for a very long time due to how she treated a close friend of mine, them together doesn’t change my fan-ness of him.   I know that there are others that don’t care some that are happy for him and i know that there are a large number of people out there you are angry , hurt and devastated. I get it and i want you all to be able to express that, but do me a favor and respects each others feelings and opinions and keep it medium.

Anon: I am devastated Mod. He lied to us. Blatantly and I will never forgive him for that. I can’t even look at anything he is in ever again. I just can’t believe I trusted him as much as I did. I believed his words when he spoke. Now I don’t know him at all. He is NOTHING like what he says he is. I hope they are ripped apart by media because he deserves everything now. It hurts me so much to say that because I used to defend everything about him. I don’t even know what to say about him now.

Brandi:Let’s tease this NR DK thing out a little. Anon:First off, good for Norman. She’s age appropriate and has some understanding of the entertainment industry and the pitfalls of it. AnonThat said, Norman works eight months out of the year in rural Georgia and works a ton outside of TWD. DK works predominantly in Europe. (I believe) When the heck are these two actually going to see each other? Anon:If her bad behaviour toward her fans/coworkers is to be believed, Norman may have trouble with this. Reedus is incredibly kind to people/fans, if she is rude to them, it might not go well for her, in Norman’s eyes. Anon:The earlier denial of his romance with DK is similar to what happened with CS. Did he not deny they where more than friends for ages?! I can’t blame him, I think he was protecting her, people where really hard on that girl. Anon:Just my two cents. Shine on you crazy diamonds.

Anon::My friend got it on good authority that Daryl will DIE in S8 because of all the negative publicity caused by NR sneaking around w/ DK. 😢 That he “came out” with their relationship per those photos taken in NYC last night to try to make himself look honorable. But AMC had already decided to kill him off bcause of the bad fan reaction to his affair with DK–denying it and such. AMC just now informed NR that Daryl will die in a battle w/ Negan. Totally crying right now. This cannot be true!?!?! 😭

Anon:He’s drunk in those pictures. He doesn’t look happy only drunk and nasty. It’s disgusting marching down the street being something he always claimed to hate. I’m done with him. Anon:Norman is completely full of bullshit.

normieslittletwign :  Well, I guess they’re official. The only thing that disappoints me is how it was handled. They should have “come out” as a couple right at the beginning and let the chips fall where they may. She could have said that her relationship with JJ was on the rocks for some time, that they’d been leading separate lives for awhile… whatever…. make shit up!! They’re only human and shit happens, the heart wants what the heart wants. IDK   But now Norman is (or may be) seen as a homewrecker. She may be seen as a cheater all because no one knows when this relationship started.   To be caught mere weeks after releasing an “official statement” that they are “just friends”… SMH. The pics are *not* of people who are “just friends”.   I also feel for fans who have put Norman up on such a high pedestal… they must be devastated!!   For the record, I’m still a fan of and still like Norman. He has a very unique personality, I quite like his acting and a number of his movies, not to mention TWD. But then again, I never put him on a pedestal and read too much into his interviews. I most likely will never meet the guy and I’m OK with that. And if I did, I’d just be another fan who wants a pic or an autograph.   To be honest, I’ve never wanted to meet *any* celebrity. I’m one of the biggest Iron Maiden fans around (36 years and counting… am I aging myself? lol) and if I go to my grave having never met any of the members of Iron Maiden (or any other band or actor I admire) it won’t bother me a bit. But that’s probably just me.   You know, God himself could hand pick a lovely woman for Norman and she still wouldn’t be seen as being good enough for him by the “lunatic-fringe” fans.  Now to sit back and watch the shit-storm. I’ve noticed on Norman’s Instagram he’s already feeling the heat… sadly.

dixonimagines:On the DK thing: Are they f*cking 13 years olds, making out in a street corner like they can’t rent a hotel room? I enjoyed meeting him this year but I will never again pay another cent to meet him. Not only is he a liar but also freaking dumb one. Why lie when he knew he would be outed sooner or later? I do not feel betrayed but I cannot continue being a fan of someone who is dumb enough to put his fandom at risk for a fling with some woman. He is no better than most of us.

Anon:i don’t particularly like DK, but I also don’t think she’s the evil bitch that some make her out to be. Whatever their relationship is, it’s theirs to explore and pursue. N looks happy in the pics and that’s good enough for me. I’m actually more concerned about Mod being bombarded with the Insanity 😰Sending you 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃, Mod, stay gold!

Anon:I feel like this has been explained ad nauseum (though ppl choose not to listen) but *some* fans are upset this couple began by breaking up Diane’s 10+ yr relationship. So it was cheating then 2+ years lying, with fans defending him against cheating rumors. Is it really that hard to understand that some may take it personally because they defended him, or because they’ve experienced relationships broken by cheating? “As long as the cheaters are happy who cares” is a rather ignorant response.

Anon:Can I just point out how happy Norman looks in the pics with DK? Anyone who can make Norman’s smile that wide is good with me. I wish them so much happiness ❤

Anon:Did pR’s reps genuinely not know he was seeing DK? The just friends comment is making less and less sense 🙈

Anon:To all those defending Norman saying he is entitled to a private life YES he is. But these shots were staged for the paps, he has chosen to forgo his privacy, and expect more like this to come. Everyone in the industry knows these types of relationships are biz deals, he couldn’t give a fuc what anyone thinks, he is as hollywood, elite and privileged as they come. He does not deserve defending. So many of his fans so naive and gullible.

Anon:for people that are saying ‘oh get over it’ or 'why taking this so personally’ its not that the question. Norman lied since day one when it came to all this mess. He lied that he didnt cheat JJ with her. He lied when said they were just friends 3 weeks ago. he lied when he said he loves honest people. he lied when he said he doesnt understand cheating…i mean this is years and years of lies and people believing he was one thing when he was other. its too many lies

Anon:Lol honestly I’m not even his fan and i feel like i could cut a bitch now because i was here trying to prove that he was better than the rumors that were always circling around. I saw on him a good guy trying to break bad habits and i feel fucking offended with this! lol i mean he is a 48 year old men why lie? he didnt need all of this…unless he had another thing going (which we all know its rumored to have) and someone dropped someone and he went on the easy root. sad excuse of a man sorry.

Anon:Now i get why he is friend with Balthazar Getty, which in my opinion, is the ultimate douchebag of Hollywood….Norman is exactly the same. Nobody cant deny people..he is a  sleezy liar. Hope he likes to see his daily life on daily mail from now on.

Anon:the fact that norman played the game of the 'honest'person and he hates liars makes me sick. He lied to everyone. No he doesnt owns us anything but he denied any romantic link with her 3 weeks ago. this to me is beyond ridiculous. I guess she got what she wanted and he once again is going along because its comfortable to him and guarantee he have his dick wet at least once a week…but the rest?? i feel sorry for the fans that always believed how good guy and true to himself he was.

Anon:I guess I have mixed feelings about the whole DK relationship. He does look really happy and I personally don’t care who he is with. But why all the sneaking around and lying? I can only think of one reason they would do that. They wanted to make the cheating rumors look untrue. To me the cheating rumors now look true. I am still a fan of his but I don’t think I will spend the money to see him if he comes to the Walker Stalker near me.

Anon:They are both scum. Anon:Up till now I always gave him the benefit of the doubt, but I feel like the biggest fool alive now. He really is a LIAR!! Yuck, so disappointed in him 😳.

Anon:I just feel sorry for the people that believed in him. They have been duped/snowed/hoodwinked by a professional liar and all around horrible person.

Anon:Let’s Please try to not make Norman and DK’s relationship about us. It has nothing to do with lying to fans, manipulating fans, or laughing at fans. There’s no personal insult to his fans here. It’s just them letting the world know on their terms, not ours. In other news, I’m so glad he looks happy. His kid is growing up, his job has got to be ending in the next few years (sorry but that’s just reality), and he deserves some joy as he figures out what to do next.

Anon:I truly don’t get all the DK hate. And w/ those pics coming out today, I’m sure it will only get worse. How about everyone just be glad he’s in an age appropriate relationship this time? I mean, I can’t be the only one who was completely grossed out by the 18 year old, right?

Anon:I am completely done with him. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for so long and I am mostly an optimistic person…But this is just disgusting. IDC who he dates tbh…But this snake???? And the cheating??? Breaks my heart. It’s awesome that he gives his all to his fans but I think it feeds his narcissistic ways. Sorry Norman…You will live your life whatever you want to…You’re a grown man (sometimes)

Anon:Sending you tons of nachos and lots of alcohol for the incoming shitstorm. If you need anything else let me know.

Anon:I just did a google searched on the latest on NR, and there is a picture of what appears to be N kissing DK right in plain view of a pap. Rather this is the real deal or simply a PR move on behalf of DK herself, N and D are together. Love it or hate it, we don’t have a say in who he dates and I personally wouldn’t want to because I wouldn’t want people to do the same to me.

Anon:Sorry something is not right , your people denied the rumours 3 weeks ago and then you come out hand in hand with her , plus it doesnt look kissing to me but ok , im dissapointed in him , but i will still be a daryl fan !

meags672:This night out was obviously their 'coming out’. They both look very happy to me! Good for them. Its about time!

Anon::Ohhhh mod. ALL OF THE WHISKEY AND NACHOS FOR YOU!!!! Anon:It’s official. Norman is a cheater and liar. They are both gross and deserve each other. They deserve every ounce of hate they get. #shittypeople Anon:its confirmed, they are a couple. bye bye norman. i don’t support lying little cheating sneaks

superleeleehipster:I am sending two bottles of whiskey your way and some nachos… followed by chocolate cause this is gonna get crazy for another week :p

Anon:So umm… how are Norman’s reps gonna say they’re “just friends” again when there are pics of them holding hands and making out? Anon:Those “just friends” look very very happy. I think you all should be happy for him.

Anon:she went to paris to support her friend, just friends, that what friends do, right. but not the show in spain bc why. tho she goes out so ppl see her there. no pap or fan shots of her in fr or ger. why none in ny until some of him show up. guess they r friends who dont hang out in public. btw why never any fan pics of her any where, does she not have fans. just pap shots around him

Anon:Bye bye Norman. You’re canceled. It’s official, they are together. Eonline posted pics of them kissing and holding hands while smiling and walking around in NYC yesterday. They really made it official after denying everything just three weeks ago. It makes me so sick to see DK all happy. Disgusting ain’t even a damn word about what I feel

Anon:Norman died for me. Did you see the eonline pics? He’s holding hands and kissing DK in PUBLIC. They walked around and had the biggest smiles on their faces. What an incredible disgusting piece of trash Norman is. Disappointment is not even a word how I feel right now. Sorry if I’m going to unfollow you but I don’t want to see anything about him anymore.

Anon:Seriously not a fan any longer. You can date who you want, but why lie about it 3 weeks before going public? That makes you shady in my book and I don’t support shady people.
