First I’m told I’m “casual” and “female”. Together. You know, a “casual female viewer”. But then I’m told I’m “entitled” and taking my shit waaaaaaay too seriously because I’m having feels and opinions and shit. THEN I’m told I should buy this:

Oh! Hey! Look! It’s that guy you like gib us monies pleeze.

I AM SO FUCKING SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF FUCKING BEING TOLD I’M FUCKING FEELING IN A FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE MANNER THAT OTHERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO MANIPULATE! Oh, you women. You just like shiny things. You don’t actually MEAN it when you say you love something. Oh, you women. You’re so emotional. You don’t really know how the real world works when you respond with alllllllll that dramaaaaaaaa. Oh, you women. You’re dumb as shit and will swallow anything we shove in your mouth that looks sweet.

I’m sorry. C’mere. No. Closer. No… even closer. Get in realllllll good…. FUCK YOU!

This deserves a much longer post over on my blog, but for tumblr I’ll be brief. I just want to say, do not confuse reserve for apathy and do not confuse passion with stupidity. Do not tell me I don’t have the right to want what I want, even for things that only exist in my mind. The FEELINGS are real and will not be discounted.

I am not a victim of these feelings. They are my strength. They are my fuel. They drive me and will send me further and faster than all of your logic and reasoning. Because thinking comes from the brain and the brain is mortal and finite. All that shit will die. My passion comes from my heart and the moment I allow it to be, it is infinite. You cannot stop it. You cannot contain it. And you CANNOT TELL ME I AM WRONG.

I shall extend the same courtesy to those who disagree with me. Even if our THOUGHTS conflict, I shall remember the passion burns with the same intensity.

OR big feelings scare you and you don’t understand them. Then they SHOULD scare you. Because I am being kind and reserved in my reactions to you stealing our fucking shirt that has come from literally HUNDREDS of passionate hearts to try and make a goddamn buck.

STEVEN MOFFAT’S NEXT SEASON OF DOCTOR WHO WILL BE HIS LAST, CHRIS CHIBNALL IS NEW HEAD WRITER AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

After six incredible seasons at the helm, the multi-award winning Steven Moffat has decided to step down as the lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who.

Steven took over the reins on Season 5 in 2010 and during his tenure the show has become a truly global success. He has been responsible for introducing the Eleventh and the Twelfth Doctors in Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi; as well as two companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) and iconic characters and monsters including River Song (Alex Kingston), Missy (Michelle Gomez), Rory Pond (Arthur Darvill) and the terrifying Weeping Angels. Plus, the smash hit 50th Anniversary special in 2013 which saw fans around the world celebrate the world’s longest running sci-fi series with the Doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt battling the deadly Daleks in a feature length episode. 

Steven Moffat says: “Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out. While Chris is doing his last run of Broadchurch, I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him. It took a lot of gin and tonic to talk him into this, but I am beyond delighted that one of the true stars of British Television drama will be taking the Time Lord even further into the future. At the start of season 11, Chris Chibnall will become the new showrunner of Doctor Who. And I will be thrown in a skip.”

Like Steven, Chris Chibnall is also a lifelong Doctor Who fan and a multi-award winning writer and executive producer. He has most recently achieved huge success with the triple BAFTA winning hit series Broadchurch. His other credits include BAFTA nominated The Great Train Robbery, United, Law & Order: UK, Life on Mars and Torchwood. Chris Chibnall’s debut season will launch in 2018.

Chris Chibnall, new Head Writer and Executive Producer: “Doctor Who is the ultimate BBC program: bold, unique, vastly entertaining, and adored all around the world.  So it’s a privilege and a joy to be the next curator of this funny, scary and emotional family drama. I’ve lovedDoctor Who since I was four years old, and I’m relishing the thought of working with the exceptional team at BBC Wales to create new characters, creatures and worlds for the Doctor to explore.  Steven’s achieved the impossible by continually expanding Doctor Who’s creative ambition, while growing its global popularity. He’s been a dazzling and daring showrunner, and hearing his plans and stories for 2017, it’s clear he’ll be going out with a bang. Just to make my life difficult.”

Just five days left until the new season of Doctor Who!

Shona is a stand-up comic who also works at an LGBT center. She’s very proud of who she is and won’t let the bastards get her down. She’s kind, funny, and cute. She’s definitely the leader of the bunch.

Cameron is a product of the LA foster program and has faced a lot of abuse growing up - from foster parents and other kids in the facilities he’s been housed in. Subsequently he’s got very low self-esteem and thinks that no one will love him. He’s working on building an OS that, like the movie “Her”, would love him.

Huey is an enigma. He’s very angry and we’re not sure why yet. He’s got a creative side - he writes music - but he’s also very antagonistic. No one knows what he does for a living - for now. We’ll learn a lot more about him later on.

Betsy has been raised without any love - just lots and lots of money (her parents are beyond rich) - so she tries to buy her friends as that’s all she knows. She’s a designer who attends FIDM and she wants to work with recycled textiles only. She also has an addiction to prescription pills.

Quillam is their fellow online gamer but we know NOTHING about him except he’s English (because we can hear his voice via the headsets). We just see his avatar - which is the all-seeing eye.  Who is he???? :)

Hope that’s a good start. Everyone’s journeys are going to be really interesting and above all, funny :)
