Yeah you’re right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
the ninth doctor was lowkey so under appreciated. he was the perfect combination of rascal (mostly) benevolent god and slut
imo he was the most considerate doctor, who was the most aware of his power and the people he was capable of hurting. he was cynical and moody and war worn but he cared so deeply. he loved knowing he’d lose. he kissed a servant girl on the forehead that sacrificed herself who no one would remember except for him and rose. and at the same time a right bastard <3
The contrast between Nine’s absolute glee in, “Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once, everybody lives!” and the cold self-recognition of loathing in his “Only a killer would know that” dinner with the Slitheen leader. Eccleston was so good.

i've always laughed a little at 'platty jubes' because it sounded so silly, but hearing Professional News Broadcasters say 'platty jubes' in the same introduction as 'Hundreds in debt', 'More people die in...', and 'Unable to live...' before going on to talk about a 'cozzy lives' has been horrific. sometimes i hope that everything from 2016 to now all been one long, terrible nightmare, but unfortunately it's not.
Comes from the same strain of annoying twat that says ‘Holibobs’ rather than 'holidays’ and 'Merry chrimbo’ for merry Christmas. It always seemed weirdly infantile to me.
And you’re right - it’s horrendous when paired next to a story about a group of immigrants drowning in the English Channel or any other horrific news cycle.
moment of silence for everyone who relied on AI chat bots for research when it’s going around saying shit like this.
[image description: search that reads “country in africa that starts with K”. the featured snipped is from www.emergentmind.com and reads “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter “K”. The closest is Kenya, which starts with a “K” sound, but is actually spelled with a “K” sound. It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.” /end ID]
[id: Screenshot of a conversation with ChatGPT. The human asks:
“How many times does the letter R appear in the word ‘scintillate’?”
ChatGPT replies:
“The letter 'r’ appears twice in the word 'scintillate’.”
The human asks:
“Could you show me where the 'r’s are?”
ChatGPT replies:
“Certainly! The letter 'r’ appears in the word 'scintillate’ in the following positions:
1. After the letter ’s’
2. After the letter 'c’
So, the two instances of the letter 'r’ are in the positions mentioned above.” end id.]
