fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it

despite never being reprimanded for getting sick if my dog throws up she will ‘tattle’ on herself and run over to me, show me the throw up, then hide and start shaking uncontrollably. nobody taught her to do this. she has decided that throwing up is a punishable offense until the end of time

my dog has decided that it’s solely on her shoulders to ensure there is peace in my house…if the cats fight she stands between them to ‘break it up’ and/or herds them away, if my rats have an argument she goes to the cage door and barks until they stop. not sure why she has decided she must carry the weight of the world but she has

"Since when did you become so invested in my relationships?" "At this rate, my dear, all of the colonies should be invested in your relationships."

sabine/touraine/luca from The Faithless by C.L. Clark

[imjustheretomooch]

Shakespeare was so right when he said there’s something delicious about a main character who, completely through choices they made on their own and often with good intention, ruins fucking everything. 

Touraine fucking everything up in a futile attempt to protect the Sands in The Unbroken. Misaki choosing tradition and family and marrying Takeru only to put herself in a deep depression for 2 decades and never really love her sons until it was too late in The Sword of Kaigen. Ouyang destroying the only person he loved out of deep resentment and self hate in She who Became the Sun. The Binewskis’ self destruction as the psychopath children each try to chase their own happiness to the detriment of the others in Geek Love. Harrow and Gideon’s whole relationship in The Locked Tomb. Literally the entire plot of in The Traitor Baru Cormorant.

I know a lot of people were sad that Yaz just walked away and there was no kiss etc but I think it was fundamentally a good ending for them and for Yaz.

The Doctor has learnt from experience that they will keep on going in whatever form (the timeless child story has made that even more underlined) but unfortunately, their human companions cannot. In terms of romance, 10 learnt the hard way with Rose. 11 learnt what it was like to loose family in Amy and Rory and 12 lost a soul mate in Clara. In twelves case he lost her despite how desperately he tried to cling onto her, going to the absolute extremes.

13 has shown that she has learnt those lessons. She has clearly learnt not to cling onto those relationships, as demonstrated by the exits of Ryan, Graham and Dan. In Yaz's case, she had fallen for her companion and knows the feelings were reciprocated. In fact, she even subtly admitted to those feelings in Legends of the Sea Devils. However, having learnt the lessons of the past, she asked Yaz to go on as they were and not make that step into a romantic relationship.

Yaz could do nothing but agree to this, but it was clear in the Legend of the Sea Devils that she still didn't 100% understand why. This is were Yaz meeting Ace and Tegen was important to what was to come. The Doctor evolves and regenerates, and perhaps more quickly than Yaz had realised. In Ace and Tegan you have two former companions, with an age difference but not a vast one, who clearly know the Doctor as different regenerations. Having Ace there highlights it quicker because she of course refers to the Doctor as 'Professor'. Yaz already knows the Doctor was a Scotsman in the last regeneration.

The key line was when Yaz said 'where is my Doctor?'. Not THE Doctor. Not THE REAL DOCTOR. My Doctor. Going through a regeneration with the Doctor is hard enough for a companion even when they are just the Doctor's friend. Yaz doesn't feel like that about the Doctor, she is in love with her. She is in love with her mannerisms and her personality. No doubt, she is also physically attracted to her too. It's not just as simple as getting used to a new character to go off galavanting with. Yaz tried to save the woman she loved but despite everything she failed. She saved the Doctor, but not her Doctor. It was poignant that Yaz, having seen regeneration energy before (and now a forced regeneration), was the first to realise what was going on. Instead of panic or histrionics there was just a sad realisation that it was over.

The Doctor knows this and feels for Yaz in return. Imagine regenerating and looking at the person you have come to love, only for them to look back at you like you are a stranger? The Doctor knows that everything has its time and place. Yaz has been with her since she first regenerated until her final moments. She is Yaz's Doctor, but Yaz has been her consistent companion. It made sense for her to go onto her next journey alone and it made sense for Yaz to step away and remember her as 13, but in the knowledge that the Doctor is safe and will go on. The Doctor singled out the fact that she had loved her time with Yaz in their final quite moments together. In the end, it was all very mature from both of them.

Now, if you are a Yaz fan, take heart. There is rumour abound that RTD would like to make an extended Doctor Who world (mini marvel style). If this was to happen, expect to see a revival of Torchwood and its very feasible that an Agents of Sheild style UNIT series will be considered. What did Kate say in the support group? She might try and recruit them! It's very possible that we may see Yaz again and other companions. We may even see an old Doctor or two...

Aziraphale: *defies God's will and gives away his Holy Weapon to protect 2 humans who God Herself literally just cast out of paradise* *has unwavering faith in a demon's kindness* *lies an archangel in the face* *saves Crowley's life* *is ready to fight Satan himself with basically a Stick* *protects the one person in the universe who has probably mistreated him the most at extreme risk to his own life* *ready to fight 71 demons with a candle holder to protect 2 humans and said person who mistreated him all his existence* *gives up literally everything he loves the most in the world for the slim chance that he might make a dent in a system that brings nothing but suffering hoping to make the world a better place for everyone in it*

People out there (nowhere near me, luckily for everyone involved): *talk shit about Aziraphale*

Today’s Good Omens posting is about *spins wheel*

how Crowley’s self-loathing colors the way he sees Aziraphale’s interactions with him and how we should take that negative bias into account

I’m not even gonna talk about the whole final scene/misunderstanding because we’ve all talked about that one by now. Instead I want to talk about Crowley’s description of the 3 reasons Aziraphale calls him:

(Paraphrasing) “you’re bored; you need to tell someone about something clever you did; something’s wrong”

this is a succinct breakdown and it lowkey paints Aziraphale in a bad light; Aziraphale only calls Crowley when it’s beneficial to him; this is a transactional relationship

but like, I think, to some degree, those 3 reasons are simply the only reasons Crowley can actually imagine Aziraphale being interested in talking to him. The last one is a common song and dance between them, sure, but what about the first 2?

Aziraphale calling out of the blue, rambling about how things have been slow and quiet in the neighborhood of late and wanting to take that time to catch up - Crowley can’t fathom ‘Aziraphale missed my voice and wanted to make sure I was doing okay’ and turns it into ‘Aziraphale is just bored obviously’

Aziraphale calling, absolutely giddy, talking a mile a minute about something clever he’s done can’t possibly be ‘I’m the first person he wants to share his victories with, the person whose opinion matters the most to him now and always’ so instead it’s ‘Aziraphale just needed someone to tell this to before he popped’

(There’s an interesting thing implied here as well, which is that it’s Aziraphale calling Crowley regularly and yet we talk about how Aziraphale isn’t taking initiative in the relationship but I digress)

Point is, I think Crowley knows that Aziraphale likes him, it’s part of what makes everything so heartbreaking - the way he ends up being rejected in spite of that - but just like I think he misunderstands Aziraphale’s heaven proposal because he can’t see that Aziraphale thinks he is better than heaven already, he misunderstands any reason Aziraphale would possibly reach out to him as some level of wanting something rather than… just wanting to talk to him. He doesn’t recognize that he is Enough for Aziraphale, no strings or acts of service attached.

We just need one amazing kiss conversation to set this straight
