well apparently everyone else hates it. i do not. i love it. i love what they did with it, i love that crowley got to choose, i love that he chose humanity, that he did not choose to run away.
because THAT is who he is. he loves his stars and creations, he loves humanity, he loves the messiness, the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, he loves watching them. he showed jesus all the kingdoms of the world to share that love with someone who he knows already felt it.
in the end, they made that choice together. it's a choice they have made before, over and over, saving humanity over themselves. no god, no angels, no demons, no thousands of years of suffering for all the millions of eternal beings.
personally, i choose to believe that god's last gift to them was integrating them into the fabric of the new universe, so they will find each other in every lifetime. but without anyone watching, without any plan behind it, without senseless suffering, without creating stars just to destroy them.
just the two of them, together, always.
The destruction of the entire universe and every soul in it is a truly depressing ending. Just because God replaced it with another universe that looked similar doesn't change anything - this is Job and his children all over again. Job doesn't want new children, and neither do I.
Good omens "The finale"
talamasca + "history has a habit to repeat itself"
Im sorry but 90% of aquakind, 9/10 of everyone Salt has ever known, just drop dead, and she just turns her bf into a fish and swims away for a happily ever after? What kind of ending is that?
wait...if you're manipulating me, and im manipulating you, then who's interviewing the vampire?? 😱
The set design of the Rani’s Bone Palace bothers me.
This is a very specific part of Wish World/The Reality world that’s been bothering me. And since I haven’t seen anyone else talking about it, I’m going to assume it’s a “me” problem. Then again—what is this blog for other than my twisted rambles from my weary mind.
It really started to itch at my brain when I watched Doctor Who: Unleashed, and they offered this as a direct quote explaining the set's design choices:
“There’s a lot of bird references in it. A lot of avian references.” “Okay. That’s interesting. Why did you go with birds?” “We just thought they looked cool. We just thought they looked great.” - exact moment here
I... I just... okay.
Listen. My degree is in technical theatre design. I usually live in the world of sound and lighting—that’s my happy place. But I have designed sets professionally, and I cannot stress this enough: “we thought it looked cool” is not a valid primary reason to design anything in a narrative medium. That may be part of the process, but it should never be the foundation.
Set design is an extension of character and story. The environment should reflect something about the world or the people who inhabit it. It’s not just aesthetic; it’s psychology, geography, history, and intention.
We arrange our environments both consciously and subconsciously. Our spaces reveal who we are, what we fear, what we want to control. And this is the Rani we’re talking about—someone whose entire thing is control, science, order, ego. Her spaces should say something about that. They should tell us something new.
But the Bone Palace? It’s big. It’s white. It’s empty. There’s a clock. A big seal of Rassilon. That’s it. No sense of her past, her goals, her emotional landscape—just bird skeletons.
The only other bone-related elements in the episode are the Bone Beasts. Which—fine—cool concept, sort of, except they aren’t even hers. They’re not minions. They’re not tools she created. They’re just a consequence of realities colliding. They graze on atoms. That’s it. Not touching the sci-fi hoblesquabble of that right now, but what I’m saying is: there’s no direct connection between her and the Beasts, so the whole “bone” aesthetic doesn’t anchor to anything.
The best I can come up with is this: the Rani likes dinosaurs. The Bone Beasts vaguely resemble dinosaurs. Dinosaurs had bones (hot take, I know). Birds are descended from dinosaurs. Bird bones. Voilà. A thin, speculative, retroactive logic tree that still doesn’t explain why the Rani lives inside an empty, glowing aviary cathedral made of vertebrae.
Even if that’s the real-world rationale (and honestly, if “they looked cool” is the best we’ve got, I’m screaming into the void), it leaves a glaring absence in the actual story: why is the palace like that in-universe? Did the Rani build it? Did she steal it? Is it the bones of some long-dead dimensional god she killed in the Time War?
Is it meant to be a metaphor for her obsession with structure over life?
But they didn't say they did it for that, they said they did it "because it looked cool" I'M LOOSING MY MIND. ahem anyway............ The dismissal—or worse, the lackadaisical handwave—of the Rani’s environment just highlights how little thought seems to have gone into actually integrating her into the story’s world, plot, or emotional landscape.
Because as it stands, it doesn’t feel like the Rani’s domain. It feels like a Pinterest board titled “spooky vertebrae + cathedral moodboard” got approved by committee and then vacuum-sealed in white light.
And I know Doctor Who has always danced between narrative logic and vibes. I love that about it. But there’s a difference between “this doesn’t make sense because it's alien” and “this doesn’t make sense because no one thought it through.”
ily bill i miss you come back
this book is a bit too good at doctor (and yaz’s) characterisations btw
[ID: 1: an excerpt from sophie aldred’s ‘at childhood’s end’:
“‘The Doctor is more than happy to use weapons of mass destruction when it suits him…’ She corrected herself: ‘Her. She just likes the moral high ground of getting someone else to carry them on her behalf.’
Yaz shook her head. ‘I don’t believe that. She despises violence…’
‘Until it’s necessary!’ Ace leaned forward.”
2: screenshot from ‘the power of the doctor’. the doctor says, “give her a gun.”
3: continuation of the scene. yaz stares at the doctor, and says, “what?” end ID]
This is the vibe I wanted the Rani to have btw
Say what you want about the DW finale, but "Doubt is such a beautiful thing. If you question hard enough, then doubt can crack open the world." is such a good line 🤩✨️
does anyone have that quote that goes something like 'white germans under the nazis lived just fine as long as they were loyal to the state, gave their children to the army, and paid their taxes, and in this sense many americans would be comfortable living under fascism' trying to find who said it but google is giving me jack shit
"The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared. Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so. "

They all deserve so much more time✧
