Truly thrilled to finally find this post on my dash.

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

I guess the reason I love the name of the doctor so much is kind of the bait and switch of it, where Moffat teases that the Doctor's real name is some secret mysterious birth name that's a surprise tool to save the day, but then the Doctor drops the title in the final line "but not in the name of the Doctor" and it just clicks that it's never been about the power of the name youre given at birth. The Name of the Doctor isn't alluding to the Doctor's "real name" but the promise inherent in the title "The Doctor", which is only powerful because the Doctor chose it for himself. Idk. Do you get it. This is because Dr Who is transgender.

when you think about it, unleashing a plague of frogs is fucking hilarious

God said “let’s do a silly one”

I mean, frogs everywhere is a major inconvenience but nowhere near the devastation of the death of your livestock and firstborn or a plague of boils

i've searched every combination of words imaginable and i still can't find that gif of the german star trek parody where gay spock is quickly drinking coffee and smoking freaking out PLEASE send it to me i need it urgently

writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is
