rambly ruin

Funny story, I was taking a trip down memory lane on your sideblog with years-old Reylo discourse, and I came across an anon who seemed extremely erudite and thoughtful - my! - and why, of course I think so, she was me... sigh. It was very embarrassing (I am being colourful and self-aggrandising in my description for comedy lol). I had a dream about Reylo recently and it gave me plotbunnies possibly for the first time since TROS came out, which is actually kind of mad and now I don't know what to do with it - a lot of the time when I revisit Reylo I am actually thinking about how to rewrite the whole ST as opposed to post-TLJ or indeed post-TROS. Thank you for answering my silly asks! <3

You have clocked me, because I will seek out and read/watch many things that have received, shall we say mixed reception, if it might hit a B&tB dynamic lol. I'll put up with so much for a fable about a Grotesque. I'll take the high Gothic romanticism I can get (and so much of it is bad T_T)

That's so funny, nonny! Pretty much the same thing happened to me, where I was scrolling through comments on a website I used to frequent and I was like 'wow this person is so right about everything, amazingly correct, incredible' and then I realised... it was me. rofl🤦

It's nice to get ideas again!! It's been so hard with how much they ruined everything to keep the joy going in the fandom, but our best revenge is living well and refusing to let them snuff out the story it should have been and what it meant to us.

Hope you are having a nice day and doing well! I've been logged off from Tumblr a while and just playing a bit of catch-up -- I was also lurking r/doctorwho and I'm surprised to see/chortling at fandom opinion having shifted so much such that Moffat is recognised for actually understanding DW and having a very impressive run of the show. I was in the trenches back then, golly gosh.

I haven't seen it, sorry! (Is that to do with the Alien movies? Shamefully, I've actually not seen any of them even the original. I've been meaning to!! It came back to cinemas for an anniversary or whatever and I'm still salty I missed it bc I couldn't get a ride.)

Thank-you ❤️ I hope you are, too!

lmao, I saw a bit of the same thing (some post about the RTD meltdown hit the front page) and it is funny seeing the tide turn so dramatically. I'm glad people are admitting it. It was always insane that Moffatt has like 8 out of the 10 most highly rated episodes of the show and the same fanbase who presumably make up a huge chunk of those ratings tried to argue that he's a terrible writer. Also they tried to argue he didn't understand how to appeal to a non-superfan audience while he presided over by far the most popular and mainstream period of the revival (probably also of the entire show considering it was way bigger outside of Britain than Classic was, but I haven't checked the numbers lol).
