hello!

more specifically the Doctor was a meat eater and then had a run in w a group of aliens who wanted to eat humans and was so freaked out he stopped eating meat and then being vegetarian was continuously part of their characterisation (mostly in the EU) up until the ninth Doctor era bcos Russell T Davies consciously decided to walk it back

my personal feeling on this on a characterisation level is that there is a logic to the Doctor going vegetarian and then at some point during or post Time War going 'fuck it' and resuming eating meat. & i do also think the Doctor being a hypocrite w inconsistent morals is simply a part of their character.

which isn't to say i don't think they should make the Doctor vegetarian or vegan again, its just that while i was reminding myself what the canon situation is i found some people saying its out of character behaviour for the Doctor to eat meat and im like i see what you mean but unfortunately i think the Doctor just sucks

They should go one step further and have him develop a taste for lab grown human meat.

I feel like people kind of miss the point with the priory in the Roots of Chaos books, because people act like the priory is perfect and everywhere else sucks. Don't get me wrong, it has a lot of good parts, but it is essentially a cult (I believe Thrit even comments on this in ADOFN) where people are forced into roles by birth based on their gender, and cannot interact with the outside world without permission. And anyone who goes against its rules or wants a different life is punished. In addition, it has a lot of corruption, mostly in Priory but even a bit in ADOFN. It's way too simplistic to say Priory good Virtudom bad.

Still in love with the fact that in a day of fallen night we get two middle aged lesbians who are still deeply in love with each other and horny for each other

Can't stop thinking about Kalyba. No one's doing it like her. She's an ancient legendary witch. She can appear to you in dreams and take the form of your greatest desires. She has absolutely no game. The woman is so un-insightful that she fumbles every attempt at seduction She's ever made. She's trying SO HARD to get some. Can't score Ead, can't score Tunuva, got betrayed by the saddest, wettest dog of a man BECAUSE she took the form of the love of his life. Galian destroyed every image of her in the country and then himself when he realized he'd been with her. She has EVERY tool at her disposal to be a legendary seductress and still cannot overcome her complete lack of game. I can't wait to see my favorite problematic immortal failwoman get rejected in even more time periods.

god israel's destruction of tyre is like especially depressing tbh like thats one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. people have lived there since the bronze age. there is so, so so much history and world heritage there that's being blown up and destroyed forever because its existence doesn't fit israel's nationalist vision of history.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.
