My favorite random fact is that police boxes were made of concrete, but the TARDIS prop the BBC made was made of wood cause it was cheaper - and now everybody thinks they were made of wood
I think people missed the point of Kate’s rant, those aren’t her hidden “real opinions” they’re showing how when you fully believe you’re correct and that everybody is against you you’ll make up reasons to not trust anybody
>Records all the stories in his contract
>contract runs out
>rants about trans people
>openly berates the CEO of the company
>is not rehired
>cancelled

There's also the fact that the Sardaukar are excellently trained fighters, but the Fremen are just as well-trained and are used to the heat and environment on Arrakis and have spent decades fighting against people much more well equipped than them
When Kate is under its influence, she believes everybody around her is working against her. She thinks Donna and Mel having red hair is a conspiracy, she calls the doctor an alien imposter and she makes up a reason to not trust Shirley to justify her anger
To elaborate before more people try and “correct” me, the original boxes from 1928 were wooden but these were replaced with concrete boxes soon after. So yes, some early ones were wood - but by 1963 the vast majority were stone
Dr who is wild cause there’ll be a story that everyone you know thinks is a stone-cold, great classic episode and then someone is like “that episode was shite, fucking awful” and these are both commonly held opinions
@PoorlyAgedWho
its just moffat's own little headcanon, that doctor moon is an AI recreation of some future doctor that he placed into the library to help people
Illuminaughti and Internet Historian should be breathing a sigh of relief he only spent twenty minutes each on them and spent the other two hours carefully taking apart the career of James Somerton
love pbsessive weirdoes not only assuming the Hbomb video is all about the internet historian but immediately going defence mode despite the fact that the video got taken down by a legitimate copyright claim
Knives Out - the obvious bad guy was bad, but not for the reason you expected
Glass Onion - the mystery was blindingly obvious and the detective kept missing it because he’s been led to believe the perpetrator was some Uber-genius
Knives out: The obvious bad guy was the actual bad guy.
Glass Onion: The mystery was so stupid and nonsensical the detective couldn't solve it.
I don't understand the appeal of these movies.
sorry I’m just gonna say it “the world is saved by the power of transgender” is incredible, it’s so heavy handed and unsubtle it loops back round to being awesome
This government is cracking down on the vile degenerates who make sexually explicit ‘deepfakes’.
We’re introducing a new law to ban the creation of these distressing and abusive images.
@OSPyoutube
Civil War is one of very few comic adaptations where the movie is genuinely better cause at least the characters don't act like completely different people than they should
@lynnmandas
I sincerely hope all these girls get the mental health support they need and I'm saying this because if I let my true feelings be known I'd probably get suspended
Woah it’s true.
The revival has been renamed Doctor Who (2005-2022). The series count may restart and after everyone mocked me for saying it.
So on screen Who can be defined into four eras?
Classic era: 1963-89
Wilderness era: 1990-2003
Revival era: 2005-22
Disney era?: 2023-
Gay Twitter when Kit Connor was forced to out himself: he’s only 19! Give him space! It’s not fair to hound people they young on the internet just because they’re actors!
Gay Twitter: *relentlessly abuses 19-year-old Noah Schnapp for a political opinion they don’t like*
@Potatopolitics
they also had just been nuked and were being attacked by sandworms as well as hundreds of hidden fighters emerging literally out of the sand
It’s so funny how the people see Victor Frankenstein in pop culture (old, manic, a doctor) compared to how he is in the book (about 19, mopey and depressed, not a doctor)

"Am I the only one who think William Hartnell being replaced by a younger actor is super offensive actually. Like its lowkey ageist. Typical Innes Lloyd...bring back John Wiles"
The suffragettes objectively were full of white supremacists and fascists this is a matter of history not opinion, after WW1 many prominent women’s rights campaigners joined the BUF
She's called the Suffragettes 'white supremacists', believes JK Rowling is 'dangerous' and has launched bile-filled attacks on women online... Why does the UN's champion for British women seem to hate so many women?
@EPM106
thats because this one is directed by a real director who understood that maybe being locked in a prison that sucks the joy out of you for over a decade might fuck with your head a bit, not David Yates
The Toymaker isn’t evil, he isn’t interested in good or bad. He cares about the winners and losers and winning is good and losing is bad and that’s that. He exists beyond human morality
@thefemiurge
I dress how I want to dress partially because I like it, but also because I’ve decided I’d rather be treated like crap by certain people for being visibly trans than be treated fine as a perceived cis man
Hey remember when the BBC wanted Phillip Segal to open the tv movie with Tom baker regenerating into Paul McGann, but Segal vetoed that as he thought bringing back popular doctors for cheap nostalgia bait was regressive and stupid
Picture totally unrelated
Robert Shearman couldn't directly adapt Jubilee to screen because The Doctor saying the entire UK is inherently fascist and glorifies violence and division was maybe a tiny bit too much for saturday night family tv
"Doctor Who needs a modern day earth companion to keep the show relatable" is like saying Star Trek needs a random guy from modern day earth hanging out on the enterprise to 'ground' it
Because the sexual assault was added later by Ovid as the purpose of Metamorphoses was to criticize institutions of power, in the original myth Medusa chose to have sex with Poseidon in Athena’s temple
@Ranting_Trans
My only tip for voice training is get into something like acting or TTRPGs where you have to play a character so you can put on a voice for an extended period of time and not have people question it
@AliceAvizandum
I thought hey I’ll go through GenderGP they seem good and then they insisted Finasteride is a “strong antiandrogen” and thought never mind
Just when you think Children of Earth has run out of ways to disturb you, Day 5 gives us this. We're used to villains who have deep motives behind their cruel intentions, so having a villain whose motives revolve around the simple pleasure of being intoxicated is disturbing
@MaxKashevsky
Well threatened with imprisonment is a bit far, but I’m pretty sure it is true that the UN told the bbc to change the name because it is a breach of the Geneva convention to use the UNs name outside of official organizations

@DumpsterDyke
American Idiot is political, on like only two of its songs. It’s a concept album about how shallow punk rebellion really is, and how America breaks people down to where they either give up and return home or become washed up burnouts chasing a pointless dream
I don’t care about the “are they really trans” thing cause if they say they are then yes they are, I’m more annoyed by the fact they keep calling themselves tr-nny cause bestie that’s not ur word
@SAMOYEDCORE
sorry to say this but as a former employee of the McDonalds Corporation these promos are planned months in advance they can’t just shove them off the shelf in desperation lol
@DiscipleOfBrad
I’ve always said Bad Wolf should have been called The Long Game, rename the original to “The 500th Floor” or “Satellite Five” or something
Like I like 13s normal outfit and I like how it’s gender neutral, but I also dont think there’s anything wrong with embracing typically feminine clothes
