The Never Was

A blog about everything and nothing made by a 26yo American student who takes Rule #408 very seriously. This blog is devoted primarily to David Tennant, Doctor Who, and the Whoniverse in general. To see some other things that might be reblogged here from time to time, check out my About Me page. Special thanks to ArcticSherlock for permission to use the above gif. I'm socially and politically conscious, but try to keep that to a minimum on here, because I joined Tumblr to get away from all that stuff; it's my Happy Place. You might not like what I have to say, but at least I'm not a time-traveling, shape-shifting robot operated by miniaturized cross people. So my roommate and I were talking about Harry Potter and I said I never took one of the tests. She said, "You should!" so I took one. Result? Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Horrible injustice unfolding in my life right now. It's still not safe to talk about it. When I can finally speak out, I'm going to need help. Lots of help.

A Long Absence

Greetings to my followers after a long absence and hiatus. A lot has happened to me since I went AWOL.

I moved to a new city, graduated, changed jobs, and got divorced. A horrifying custody battle rages on. Those who know me IRL and more personally know just how awful and ugly this has been for me and my daughter.

I just wanted to let you know that I have serious personal stuff going on right now--the details of which I can't really go into for the sake of my legal case--and that is why I have been silent.

I miss Tumblr, I miss the fandom, and I plan to get back to writing fic and being social as soon as things settle down.

Thanks for sticking with me.

I just realized all horses have mohawks.

One more month, and I will be back. I miss you guys!

[theneverwas]

I want to watch something funny and British!

I think this is the most concise summary of privilege I’ve seen yet

[theneverwas]

That sounds more like a description of being an asshole. I thought "check your privilege" was how you pointed out to people that they were taking their personal, subjective experience in life/society as fact. You can make a statement that gives away your status as privileged without being an actual asshole.

curious to know what y’all’s reaction is to dress codes like these

[swallowbitchpeoplearestarving]

I’m going to punch a wall.

My reaction is to never give Qatar a single dollar of my tourist money. There are many places to visit that actually treat women like people.

guys, i found the racist

[theneverwas]

I love this, especially with the whole Human Torch casting fiasco. (Context: Marvel cast a black man to play the Human Torch in the F4 reboot; some people were angry). The response to the subset of outrage was, "Shut up, Marvel made a brave decision."

I disagree.

I'm not at all bothered by the fact that they cast a black man to play the Human Torch, but to call it a brave decision is ridiculous. Think of what Chris Evans' Human Torch was like (I've never read the comics, so the films are all I have to go on). The Human Torch is Stereotypical Black Guy Role #2 in the world of Hollywood.

A brave decision would've been to cast REID RICHARDS as a black man. Not only is he one of the smartest men in the Marvel Universe, he's also the LEADER of the Fantastic Four.

Me: *sees blind acquaintance on the bus*

Me: (Thinking) Hi Andy...next time you see Madea, tell her I say hi.

Me: *shifts awkwardly*

Me: (Thinking) Next time you bump into Madea...

Me: *facepalms*

Me: *says nothing at all*
