I love how, with fans of the Third Doctor, there's always a bit of disagreement over the various UNIT military characters, but with the sole exception of Sergeant Benton who is near-universally adored by everyone.

The Brigadier is like, "The Doctor was a pain in my arse, a thorn in my side; I was well rid of him when he went back into space," then hears that the Doctor has returned and bounds out of retirement like a spring-loaded gazelle.

The rivalry peaked HERE

What I love about Two is that he's just a sweet silly little guy until somebody asks him one (1) annoying question and then he is instantly either bitingly sarcastic or openly exasperated.

Important rules/tips I've learned as an adult that helped with anxiety

If people are mad at you, it's their responsibility to tell you, not your responsibility to guess

If they're mad at you in secret anyways, they're the ones in the wrong, not you

If people don't like what you're doing, it's their responsibility to tell you

If they say it's fine when it's really not, they're the ones in the wrong, not you

People are allowed to be wrong about you

If they are wrong about you, wait for them to bring it up, because if you try to, you will inevitably overcorrect

Some people are committed to misunderstanding you. You will not win arguments against them. Yes, even if you explain your point of view. They do not care. Drop it

The worst thing that will happen from a first-time offense is being told not to do it again. Maybe with a replacement if you broke something

You can improve relationships and gauge willingness to talk to you by giving compliments. It's like a daily log-in bonus and nobody thinks twice about it

Most things are better after you sleep on them

Most things are better after you have a meal

Most things are better after you shower

Your brain makes up consequences that are irrational. If the worst DOES come to pass and someone acts like they do in your head, they are overreacting, and you are entitled to say "what the fuck"

If your chest hurts after you feel like you've made a social error, that's called rejection-sensitive dysphoria. It means your anxiety is so bad that it's causing you physical pain, which is a good indicator that you're overreacting. Tense yourself, hold it for 20 seconds, let it go, then find a distraction

If you're suddenly angry at someone after you feel like you made a social error, that's also rejection-sensitive dysphoria. You are going to feel annoyed about it for awhile, but being genuinely pissed off is your anxiety trying to find something to blame to take the responsibility off your shoulders, and getting scared because it can't justify itself. Deep breaths, ask yourself how much you ACTUALLY want to be angry at that person, then find a distraction

"Sour grapes" is more healthy for you than stewing. Deciding you don't like someone who's perpetually annoyed with you, won't talk to you, etc. makes letting go of anxiety over them easier

If people don't like you, they will find reasons to be annoyed with you when they otherwise wouldn't. If people do like you, they will find reasons NOT to be annoyed with you when they otherwise would. People do not ping-pong between the two

You DO have to make a conscious choice not to think about something. If you're having trouble circling back to it, say out loud that you're done thinking about it and why. Then find a distraction

When you're upset, part of you is going to want to make false bids for attention (suddenly texting differently, heavy sighs, etc. but when someone asks you about it, you tell them it's nothing). Do not listen to it. You gain nothing from it except more misery

People like to help people they care about. It makes them feel good about themselves

If you think you're insufferable for needing help, see above. Yes, really. They get a serotonin kick from it

If you think you're insufferable for mannerisms you have, you either have to consciously choose not to do them, or accept that they're part of the package that comes with you. Being apologetic about existing does nothing except make you more miserable

If you do things you don't like when you feel meh about it, it makes it easier to do them when you hate it

If you avoid things you don't like when you feel meh about it, it reinforces and magnifies how bad it feels when you hate it

Seriously. Read those last two points again. If you can make yourself make a phone call when you've got nothing to lose, you will slowly lose that panic you get when you have to make a phone call you haven't prepared for. You do have to CONSCIOUSLY take that step

Hobbies that make you care for something get rid of that nagging feeling that you're not doing enough. Go grow some rosemary

If you don't engage with your hobbies regularly, you will feel miserable, and anxiety will spike

Hobbies are things that give you a bit of happiness. They do not have to be organized or named to do that. Go be creative in something. Play with coins. Make up lists. Start a new WIP

No one cares what you look like

If people point out things they don't like about how you look unprompted, they are being rude. You are entitled to say "what the fuck"

People who like you will find you pretty to some degree. Minor things about your appearance go completely unnoticed. Literally, scars and dots and blemishes do not register to someone who likes your company

You looking at yourself in the mirror is 10x more closely than anyone is going to look at you

If you're anxious about your body type, and you're creatively inclined, make/write an oc with that same shape. Give them nice things and make other characters love them. Put them on adventures. You'll start to see yourself in the mirror more kindly

You care about wording and perfect lines/colors way more than anyone who views your work ever will

Sometimes when you're upset, you're going to feel like not eating. Do not do that. Not eating makes you more miserable

Same with things you normally enjoy. Denying yourself helps no one. You are punishing yourself for being sad. Stop it

Both of these will take conscious decision to break the habit of. Make yourself do it anyways, and it will slowly get easier

And again, to reiterate: If someone is mad at you, it is THEIR responsibility to tell you, not your responsibility to guess

Bad Batch Ep 5 Spoilers

Oh my god this is my favorite episode yet! ECHO HE IS ALIVE AND HE IS WELL! I do wish the Echo and Omega reunion had lasted a bit longer tho but I will take when I can get!

Crosshair: You’re still a child.

Omega: Hey I’m older than you! Little brother.

MY HEART IMG THEM FINALLY BRINGING THIS UP IM SWOONING LITTLE BROTHER UUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHH MY HEART

And at the end of the episode when Wrecker sees that Crosshair and Hunter are ok and he runs over and pulls them into a group hug! Batchmates!

Echo: See, I told you they’d work it out. *squints* and I don’t even see any blood this time! That’s improvement 😅

I need to know what happened the last time those guys had a disagreement, did they just beat the shit out of each other while Echo watched in exhaustion?? I need to KNOW

[theatregirlsmp]

Man this episode was great. I'm living for Crosshair being back with his batch. I love him with Omega. Finally back in his armor WITH HIS TOOTHPICKS. Echo coming back and like see they worked it out And hey NO blood. He's such a mom. Hunter and Crosshair fighting then immediately protecting each other is what I'm on this earth for.

[theatregirlsmp]

Even when Crosshair isn't using a blaster, he never misses.

[theatregirlsmp]

Still dying over the implication that Kate thinks it's plausible one of her UNIT officers would be the one to deliberately start playing The Spice Girls in the middle of an international crisis.

its so funny to me how torchwood’s employment process is both ‘incredibly fucked up thing happened to them and jack swooped in to take advantage of the situation’ (owen & tosh) and also ‘u wanna recruit me so bad it makes u look stupid :3’ (ianto & gwen)

[theatregirlsmp]

I love it on Leverage that Eliot is so gruff and grumpy all the time and you think he's so serious about his job but then occassionally he makes a joke or a quip after punching someone out and he grins to himself and gives a little chuckle and then you're like oh, ohhhhhh okay i get it now, he is enjoying himself. This is fun for him. And in that moment he becomes both a bit more normal and a bit more fucked up at the same time. My guy, Eliot Spencer.
