the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.

it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.

you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.

tbh twissy would be in the vault watching tom and jerry and the doctor wld b like "this is upsetting me lets watch something else" and missy would go "the answer was already no but im wayyyy happier about saying it now 😁" then the the doctor would stand up and say "you realize that between us you're the cat and im the mouse?" and THAT would instantly make missy sternly point at the door and say "out" and when he rolls his eyes and doesn't listen she very mindfully and demurely throws a chair across the room about it.

...anyone else feel like even though those trains are actually not moving that fast, when the camera is mounted on one of them it feels like you're just zooming along?

Time Lord incarnations are like branches of a tree. They’re all part of the tree, but for functional communication, they’re spoken of as distinct. What is the mathematical definition of a branch? It doesn’t matter, I’ll know one when I see it.

Gallifrey prunes or genetically modifies them so that they only have 13 branches. Stealing a regeneration is like grafting it onto your own tree.

While it’s more than 13, there is a limit to how many branches a tree can have. A sapling doesn’t have 1000000000 branches

This implies branches can be cut off. Maybe they’re lost because there’re too many, maybe they’re disowned, or maybe they’re forcibly stored in a fob watch

I want to pet romana. Romana romana come here. I want to pet her. Unfortunately she would react like a cat who was pet backwards. But come here. I want to carry her around by the neck like a stuffed toy. Look at my romana *shakes her*

Re: the last post, the article mentions that some places use clams to test the toxicity of the water. It’s like that in Warsaw- we get our water from the river, and the main water pump has 8 clams that have triggers attached to their shells. If the water gets too toxic, they close, and the triggers shut off the city water supply automatically.  

The clams are just better at measuring the water quality than any man-made sensors.

They hot glued a spring to a clam and gave it full control over the water supply

[sindri42]

No of course not, that would be ridiculous.

They hot glued springs to eight clams and gave them collective control over the water supply.

[strangetikigod]

No of course not, hot glue would kill the clams.

The used silicone adhesive to attach springs to eight clams and gave them collective control over the water supply.

genuinely the doctor used to be vegetarian & went back to eating meat at some point during the time war. the more you know!!

[penny-anna]

more specifically the Doctor was a meat eater and then had a run in w a group of aliens who wanted to eat humans and was so freaked out he stopped eating meat and then being vegetarian was continuously part of their characterisation (mostly in the EU) up until the ninth Doctor era bcos Russell T Davies consciously decided to walk it back

[penny-anna]

my personal feeling on this on a characterisation level is that there is a logic to the Doctor going vegetarian and then at some point during or post Time War going 'fuck it' and resuming eating meat. & i do also think the Doctor being a hypocrite w inconsistent morals is simply a part of their character.

[penny-anna]

which isn't to say i don't think they should make the Doctor vegetarian or vegan again, its just that while i was reminding myself what the canon situation is i found some people saying its out of character behaviour for the Doctor to eat meat and im like i see what you mean but unfortunately i think the Doctor just sucks
