Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in space

I know a lot of people really love the idea that Rose came back, in that brief moment, to hug Steven and reaffirm her love for him, and some even think they hear a feminine laugh in that scene (which… no. It’s Zach callison layered over himself). I’m not going to say “your theory is incorrect” but, I am going to say, “your theory lacks substancial evidence to back it” and offer and alternative to you guys, just because I feel like if you think it’s Rose, you miss a lot of what’s important to that scene. But the fact is, it still does reaffirm and show her love to Steven.

Why is Rose being gone for good so important? Because it relieves Steven of the biggest burden and painful question he’s been asking and carrying over and over: who am I?

He believed this entire time, that he was just his mom running from her mistakes, from her problems. But when he sees that he’s just… himself, it’s pure relief and self love. He isn’t his mom’s mistakes. He isn’t her hiding from her problems. He isn’t anything, except Steven, except himself.

That’s the key to this scene.

But how does that reaffirm Rose’s love for him?

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.
