the idea that the british empire accepted their decline with grace and peacefully and willingly withdrew from all their colonial territories and took their loss quietly is commonly expressed as fact but it's very much untrue, it's a successful propaganda campaign for them to claim that this is what happened but they were busy committing war crimes throughout their colonial territories long after supposed "independence" & they continued/continue to maintain economic control over these regions and actively killed local movements that wanted economic sovereignty, land reform, nationalization of natural resources much like the united states did/does within their sphere of influence. i say this not to minimize the atrocities the us has committed but to make a point that the uk is also guilty of these crimes up to the present as much as they'd like to pretend this was an era that ended a century ago. british colonial violence isn't something that ended after ww2 it continued throughout the 20th century and still to this day if you look at the actions undertaken by the british military and their mercenaries throughout the former empire

tbh twissy would be in the vault watching tom and jerry and the doctor wld b like "this is upsetting me lets watch something else" and missy would go "the answer was already no but im wayyyy happier about saying it now 😁" then the the doctor would stand up and say "you realize that between us you're the cat and im the mouse?" and THAT would instantly make missy sternly point at the door and say "out" and when he rolls his eyes and doesn't listen she very mindfully and demurely throws a chair across the room about it.

His dark materials is so funny. It starts out like “oh no, my best friend is missing! Let’s go on an adventure to find him!” and two books later they’re going “let’s start a multi universal war and kill god”. And they’re twelve.

sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"

adaine having to beg her abusive parents for any kind of affection or attention but always being financially safe vs adaine refusing to ask for financial help from her adoptive parents because they actually give her the love and care she's always had to beg for and how could she possibly ask for more?
