Plot twist: The next companion is a normal girl/boy who only dies once in their lifetime and has no remarkable back story but he thinks they’re wonderful because they are human and the Doctor needs reminding that you don’t need to be a mystery to be remarkable.
“I think the word ‘feminist’ has been polluted, horribly. I raised my daughter as...”
– Courtney Love in Bust on “Nirvana, Rage, and Not Being Crazy.” (via femur)
yes because “nothing wrong with being one of those things” means this isn’t a fucked up thing to say
saying it is kinda like saying “i’m not racist but”
being associated with lesbians doesn’t mean something is “polluted”...

Inappropriate thoughts:
There’s this strange segment of Sherlock/Hobbit fandom that is shipping Bilbo and Smaug. Ok. Fair enough.
There’re logical people who point out that a physically intimate relationship between a dragon and a hobbit would probably not… work exactly.
And I’m sitting here thinking of how to write realistic Bilbo/Smaug smut.
“And then Smaug’s three...

Gabriel Macht talks "shipping" in new interview...
followersoframbaldi:
Some fans think Harvey and Jessica would be a good match… “That’s new to me! In England, people were shipping them, is that the deal?” They have this slightly flirtatious relationship, so some fans ship them… “Wow. Here in the States, everyone’s shipping Harvey and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) - which I also find strange. It’s like… no! She’s his secretary - they just don’t go...

What tumblr has taught me today: Gino and Nealsy are in a serious bromance, the Pinto fire blazes strong, and glitter is stupid
When people are being wilfully racist to me and pretty much none of my white followers say jack. It’s ok I see you.

I just think about being a child and watching Star Trek and wanting to build a time machine to go to a place where Black women worked on Star ships, and if Uhura could do it I didn’t need to listen to the kids who called my deep brown eyes ugly, my lips disgusting. The kids who excluded me from their games, because I was the ‘ugly black girl’. That’s why representation...
