[echoes of eleven blowing up cybermen to get information in the distance]
People who don’t love Nine are the dumbest.
People think that Nine is dark sullen and a killer. They’re wrong. Nine’s not dark. He’s light and happy and in love. He wears a leather jacket and is the closest Doctor to the Time War, but he is not dark. He is a light person who is fighting his dark past. He knows what he’s done and is fighting to right his wrongs. He just wants everyone to live.
Eleven on the other hand is the exact opposite. People think he’s a puppy in a fez. They’re wrong. He is not happy and joyful. He’s careless. He is having adventures while ruining lives and killing people. He is the man who forgets. He has forgotten the pain he felt after what he did and now is so comfortable killing.
He doesn’t remember Nine. Nine, the Doctor with depression. Nine, the Doctor who fell in love with an nineteen year old shop girl who didn’t need a magic back story to be special. Nine, the Doctor who went and saved his friends without killing. Nine, the Doctor who chose to lose instead of causing loss.
Nine chooses to give up being a god. Eleven pretends he is a god. Nine would make a merciful god. Eleven acts like a vengeful god. Nine is a puppy in a leather jacket. Eleven is a a killer in a fez.

Posted on CBC. Had to share. This was the commentary on the page:
“Congratulations! You have encountered a grown woman in her 30s. Look at
her, talking excitedly about something that’s important to her, like
the novel she’s writing, or her PhD, or ravioli. Why not ruin her day
and school her on the crushing reality of human biology? Here’s a handy
flowchart to help you decide if you should.”
Growing up in an abusive household is a fucking trip dude……If you’ve never had someone angrily wash a dish at you or fold a sock in your direction then how are you gonna understand why I get nervous when you quietly do the laundry, or why I ask “are you mad at me?” when you set the bag of groceries down too hard? It’s a totally different way of living and it impacts you long after you’ve left the situation.
This is so important.
Abused kids speak a language you can’t learn
I think a lot of people misinterpret this post to mean that folding a sock angrily at you is abusive, and that’s not what it means at all. The fear abused kids feel at this kind of behavior is a conditioned response because we know what comes after. Its about sitting there terrified and waiting for when they will snap.
This is actually a symptom of PTSD, which is more common among child abuse victims than modern veterans
I’m trying to prove a point to my brain: Reblog if you think fanfiction does not need sex to be good.
There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
i know we all like to Joke & Bond over how depressed we are and make jokes about existential dread bc we really are absolutely fucking depressed and there’s certain comfort and humor in knowing we’re not alone but. god i wish none of us were sad. living like this isn’t fun at all and i hope it gets easier and softer for all of you
most people: falling into an everyday routine is the WORST POSSIBLE THING THAT CAN HAPPEN!!! If you’re going through the ”’daily grind”’ your life might as well be OVER!!!!! you need to be a FREE SPIRIT!!!!!!
my adhd ass that cant even remember what day of the week it is unless I have some sort of order and routine in my life: um
If someone ever says “you’re anti-free speech” cause you call out their racism, tell them this. Or copy+paste this comic to em.
“what you said is racist” is awfully different from “you shouldn’t legally allowed to say what you said”…
Self Diagnosis Misconceptions
How anti-self dxers think I self dxed:
Me: *reads post about disorder and mildly relates to half a sentence of it* sounds edgy *loudly screams from the rooftops that I Definitely Have The Disorder*
How I actually self dxed: (note that this takes place over a period of multiple months)
Me: *reads post about disorder* wow I really relate to this but I don’t have that disorder so I’ll just ignore it.
Me: *reads and relates to many more posts about that disorder* ok, I should probably look into this more.
Me: *looks up official diagnostic criteria for the disorder* huh, I guess I don’t have it.
Me: *reads and relates to more posts about the disorder* hmm… this is kinda weird…
Me: *looks up the diagnostic criteria again, this time recalling past incidences of symptoms* wait I… actually do enough of these symptoms to get I diagnosis… how did I not realize this the first time…?
Me, weeks later: but what if I actually don’t?
Me: *looks at the diagnostic criteria again, remembering even more past symptoms* ok I most likely really do have this disorder.
Me again: but what if I really don’t
Me: *takes at least half a dozen online tests based off the official diagnostic criteria*
Literally every test: You might/probably/definitely have moderate/severe (disorder). You need to see a mental health professional.
Me: ok, the evidence so far suggests I have this disorder
Me, forever questioning my own perceptions: ok but what if I don’t
DO NOT FORCE ALCOHOL ON TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DO NOT DRINK
DO NOT FORCE ALCOHOL ON TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DO NOT DRINK
DO NOT FORCE ALCOHOL ON TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DO NOT DRINK
ugh this. my husband is 30 and has NEVER had any alcohol. he has no desire to drink and everywhere we go people try to convince him to “JUST TRY IT!!” fucking leave him alone man
Just want to add: sometimes it’s not even just a preference (although that reason should be respected too). Sometimes the person has a family history of alcoholism and doesn’t want to become addicted, or they’re a recovering acloholic.
Please keep in mind alcohol is a drug, and one not everyone wants to use.
Speaking as a recovering alcoholic, it would be great if more people would follow this.
also some people do not drink because of their religion please be respectful
There are also some people who can’t have alcohol due to medical conditions
Husband: family with history of alcoholism
Sister: recovering alcoholic
Brother-in-law: medical condition
Me: philosophical reasons
If someone says “no” it’s not your job to convince them. Many times there IS a legitimate reason they don’t want to do the thing. I once saw a gaggle of ladies at a birthday party continue to harass my friend’s husband to have “just once slice of cake.” This was a guy who’d recently been diagnosed with a heart condition, was under strict orders to eat healthier, and was having a hard enough time coming to grips with that. It’s nothing something he wanted to bring up in casual conversation. The women were relentless and I had to discretely intervene. When someone says “no” let them be!
some people will literally die if they drink alcohol also.
Like if you respect someone for not drinking alcohol, worst case scenario you spent a night with someone who wasn’t drinking and you were
If you force someone to drink alcohol, worst case scenario is they die.
if you’ve ever pushed or bullied someone into drinking (or smoking or doing drugs or even just eating food bc you think they’re a picky eater) I want you to pretend that they will die if they consume what you’re pushing because, if you don’t know their reasons, they very well could die.
Considering this, isn’t it better to just be respectful and be like “okay cool” and move on with your life? and if you have to be judgy, do it silently ffs
do you ever have one of those friends who is such a huge part of your life that sometimes you remember that you weren’t always friends with them and you just
how do without friend????
