#there’s so much potential and I’m so excited!

people are saying he « led her on » because he did. the fact that he kissed her in the first episode set the tone for the rest of the season and if you can’t perceive the flirting I’m sorry but how?? he didn’t make anything clear he sent the craziest mixed signals in the world. there’s nothing revolutionary about claiming that Martha was being pushy toward someone who was clearly not interested it’s 1) weird to claim in what it suggests about her 2) factually not true.

I wasn’t gonna respond to this at first because the top half of this ask is pretty much just individual interpretation and I don’t really care about it. Like, no, to me, the Doctor doesn’t seem especially flirty towards Martha. He’s just sort of Like That. That’s his damage, you know, Mr. I need to traumadump on anyone who tolerates being around me for more than five minutes. Mr. If I don’t develop an intensely codependent emotional bond with the companion I have currently I’ll die. It doesn’t read to me as him trying to lead her on because that bit’s honest, and he does it with damn near every companion he’s ever had.

And if nothing else, because we do see Ten when he tries to flirt intentionally and he’s a fuckin dork about it. Kind of guy who looked up romance in the dictionary and took notes. Kinda guy who draws diagrams to maximize kissing potential. It would have been obvious even to me (<- romance-blind as all fuck) if he was flirting with Martha on purpose because he’s not smooth at all; he flirts like he’s gotten lines in a play and he’s super excited to be the main star.

But anyway, as I was saying, that’s just how I see it. And if you see it different, no skin off my back, I just disagree.

But I take umbrage with you putting words in my mouth. I never said Martha was pushy towards him. Because yeah, she’s not. If I implied that she was, then it was a result of poor phrasing on my part. Martha’s not at fault for what she feels, for wanting there to come something of it. No more at fault than the Doctor is for not returning those feelings. It’s a bit weird that you’re assuming that I think one of them has to be the bad guy here when that was the opposite of what I was saying. My point was: When it comes to their romantic subtext of their relationship, it’s weird to pretend like either of them are to blame for them not being in a relationship at the end of s3, and even weirder to assert that as part of why Martha supposedly wouldn’t like the Doctor afterwards when they’re. friends. they continue to be friends into s4.

Martha’s not pushy. She has a crush on her friend. It happens. He doesn’t return it. This also happens. Both of these facts are pushed to the extreme because he’s a time-traveling alien with poor emotional skills and she’s put herself in the position of needing to help him from minute one of meeting each other. That’s why it’s fun to watch, because the Doctor is both so open and so unavailable in turns, because Martha’s feelings for him grow and change as she knows more about her Doctor until she decides to step back.

I don’t know, man. You seem to be coming at this as if one of them has to be The Problem™️. I don’t think either of them is, not so definitively. I think boiling their relationship down to that is reductive and an insult to the way they both grow over s3, to Martha’s choice to continue to be his friend while also establishing her own boundaries, to the fact that the Doctor is able to let her go without immediately trying to kill himself afterwards when she’s not there to catch him.

911 playing with water theming will always be my most favourite thing - every single water based episode or arc is epically good and the idea that we might be about to have a worst day ever tsunami arc mash up gas me chomping at the bit. The potential is unparalleled.

I want them all sopping wet I want the call back to 1x04 I want the firefam called to help on the ship and dived up working on different elements of the disaster not realising bathena are there and in danger. I want something that reminds Eddie (and buck) of nearly loosing Christopher that sets him up for an interesting arc this season. I want to see some set up for buck actually dealing with his water based issues and actually doing some proper healing and finding his level. I want Maddie worried about Chim and an interesting arc set up for them. I want captain hen bossing it and being awesome!!!

i really hope that when alexis is introduced she’s introduced in a very. neutral manner

i don’t want her to be this cliche villainous that causes conflict between sam and darlin

alexis has been avoiding sam for 15+ years after she turned him. she doesn’t want conflict with him it seems

i lowkey hope that alexis has a small ‘talk’ with darlin. maybe just asking if sam is happy or smth like that. i just don’t want her to be a two dimensional villain when erik has clearly shown he likes to deal with his characters in shades ya know (example:vega)

i never talk about him but i actually like toji a lot as a side character/antagonist. it’s endlessly funny to me that megumi is his son, his blessing, but they barely get anything outside their moment in shibuya and hidden inventory. then he’s just there for maki’s character development (truly the favored relative narratively) or thrown into a chapter randomly to look hot

[silverspadesss]

that was so much fun. how am i supposed to wait a whole week for more of that. oh my god.

i have so much love in my heart it’s unreal

My (maybe controversial?) Spideyflash opinion is that Flash has an unbelievably intense crush on Spider-Man but has no feelings for Peter Parker whatsoever

listen I have to say this. I totally get why everyone is happy that lover boy played in gomens 2 but tbh it was WASTED like this is THE song for them and it just randomly played in the Bentley for no real reason IT DIDNT EVEN INCLUDE THE RITZ LINE :,( . Like it was just crowley changing his mind and going to help aziraphale, but we knew he was going to do that anyways and it wasn’t even that big of a deal

Like somebody to love and you’re my best friend were both played at a really emotional moment and fit REALLY well so this felt kinda underwhelming for me considering how cool it could’ve been otherwise. I really hope they’re cool with reusing songs because I need a redemption arc for the use of this song in s3 😭

saw the mario movie when it came out, was pretty bad. i see why people like it but like… films need more than a million references to their source material. i really did not enjoy it. virtually no plot, characters would do things for no reason, none of the characters felt grounded so i couldn’t get invested in anything and the donkey kong and mario kart portions of the film felt super disjointed from everything else that happened prior. i see why kids like it but whenever i hear adult fans talking about it, they go on about the easter eggs and references they caught. really hate this kind of nostalgia driven film making.

Is there some kind of community or volunteer program I could join to learn how to make designs and modifications for prosthetics? I’m more of an artist than an engineer, but I’ve always been kinda obsessed with the sculptural properties of prosthetics. Obviously when designing one, though, function and comfort come first, so if I ever got into it, I would want to make sure I’m making things people can actually use (not to mention afford).
