This is wonderful.

For people who can’t see the image for some reason:

It’s a “Dear Abby” column, published in 1995. The letter writer, “Not Looking for a Girlfriend in New Jersey,” identifies as a 53 year old male virgin with no interest in either women or men, despite coworkers having assumptions that his lack of a family means he must be gay.

This man expresses no concern about his situation (other than the presumed exhaustion at being continually misidentified), and suggests he was writing simply so other people could see that “a man who had no interest in sex” exists.

Abby blows it out of the ballpark with her response:

People who have no sexual feelings are called “asexual.” Since it doesn’t appear to bother you, it should present no problem. You are accountable to no one except yourself [emphasis mine].

Here we have the bastion of middle American, the “nice White lady with all the answers”, normalizing this man’s experience and literally telling him to ignore the haters. Pre Millennium. She even calmly supplies this man with the language to identify himself, since he seems not to have encountered it before; that must have been so empowering for him, to have a word for his experience and identity, and to hear that others shared it.

Everyone, you are valid, and your identity is accountable to no one except yourself.

hell bent // heaven sent

meta below cut!

i wanted to do a screencap study and when i saw this one of clara oswald i knew that i could pair it with the legendary shot of 12 at the table.

i wanted there to be contrasting colors. the reference of 12 was already warm and orange like the page 1 leaf that’s near and dear to clara. so i saturated clara’s reference with blue to evoke imagery of the TARDIS as well as create a dichotomy, “hell vs heaven.” they both share the same isolating and desolate feeling.

as far as lighting goes, i love that the doctor is more illuminated yet also less decipherable. that’s the type of person he is, only allowing you to see what he wants you to see. you’ll never know fully what he’s thinking. then there’s clara who’s shrouded but wears her emotions on her sleeve, always touched by melancholy. and there’s a single spotlight on them, the most clever people around, but what use is that without company, without a companion?

the techniques chosen for each piece varied too bc i used different brushes. clara’s was more free form with larger strokes. where as the doctor’s required a finer brush to capture all the detailed color blocks. retrospectively this is thematic with how the doctor operates within his own rules (though sometimes breaking them) while Clara is more brazen with all her humanity and free will.
