Thinking about the idea of Fitz inheriting his mothers schizophrenia and something something altered perceptions of reality plus psychic powers being an actual thing in doctor who means he can now catch glimpses of the doctors higher dimensions, naturally he starts freaking out worried that he’s losing his grip on reality and is going to end up like his mother, the doctor reassures him that what he’s seeing is real and that time lords are just like that, Fitz is super relieved by this until after a few seconds the doctor adds ‘although you can probably see it because you’re schizophrenic’

trans girl with totally normal self esteem: I appreciate you asking if I'm okay and giving me a band-aid after I tripped and scraped my knee, however I am almost certain that me falling was some calculated subconscious rouse to manipulate you into caring about me, therefore in order to protect from being further exposed to my secret evil nature I must insist we never speak again

The euros fail to consider the form: it’s not Johnny’s hubris that is the subject of the song. It’s the devil’s, who thinks his power is worth more than simple love for a craft

neither americans nor the modern era have any sort of monopoly on one-upping the devil. one of the oldest european folk tales is The Smith and the Devil, in which a smith makes a deal with the devil for his soul and when the devil comes to collect, the smith tricks him into leaving him alone forever. tricking that bastard is an old and storied tradition.

"average person who makes a deal with the devil is dragged to hell after 10 years" factoid actually just statistical error. average person who makes a deal with the devil uses their new hellish gifts to outwit the old bastard so they can keep both gifts and soul for the rest of their long and prosperous lives. faust, who bargained for knowledge of all things and then wasted his 10 years chasing a girl who wasn't all that into him, is an idiot and should not have become the cornerstone of modern understanding of the trope.

episode one was so fucking beautiful it made me cry, she's so nice to herself. please watch plus-sized misadventures in love

it's not like, being ironic or sarcastic, right? is it actually portraying her as happy?

yes, 100%. she fully believes she's the most beautiful woman on earth and her energy is portrayed as infectious to the people around her. there's a man who assumes she's joking when she calls herself pretty and calls her crazy when she says she's just being honest, and it comes off as extremely cruel and mean. she later wonders if he just has a thing for putting down beautiful women, she can not comprehend that the people around her are not just as infatuated with her appearance as she is, because she's right

to be clear this is not "delusional fat woman" this is "fat woman so dedicated to loving herself and being nice to herself that she will imagine a world bending to her will" there's nuance

the joke is that the other characters assume she'll simply go along with their fatphobic preconceptions of her, the joke is that they can't imagine her being sincere about this
