Title Cover Of My Broadchurch/Doctor Who Crossover Currently A WIP.

Maybe I'm stating what is completely obvious and I'm just somehow missing it, but I don't think Ian has anything to do with Trish's raping. I think he's got a hand in distributing the pornography around for the kids to see, which is why he wanted that laptop so badly.

‘Rosa’ is by far my favorite episode of the new season of Doctor Who, and I want to thank Chris Chibnall and Malorie Blackman for writing it like they did. History wasn’t all glamorous or beautiful- it was harsh and unforgiving, and this episode didn’t shy away from that. They couldn’t help Rosa on that bus even though they wanted to because she needed to be arrested. She had to inspire Martin Luther King to announce the boycotting of the Montgomery Buses, because it was her not giving up her seat that started the Civil Rights Movement in the US.

That is history written right. It made me so angry watching the blatant racism on screen but that was the way it was back then. And it just made me want to cry with relief when Rosa didn’t move from her seat, because that was one step closer to equality for everyone.

‘United’ is my favorite movie ever. Seriously.

I didn’t think it would be possible to find any similarities between two of my favorite shows, Broadchurch and MASH. I was wrong.

Spoilers after the cut (for both shows)

Specifically, the similarity lies between Alec Hardy and Hawkeye Pierce in terms of trauma. Both suffer from varying degrees of PTSD, but their individual experiences are opposite from the other’s. 

Hardy in BC is already deeply traumatized by something in the first series, but we don’t see its cause until S2, when he reveals he was the one who discovered and carried out a murdered girl’s body out of a river. Ever since then, he suffers from nightmares and by his own admission rarely sleeps soundly anymore. It’s honesty one of the saddest scenes of the series and it adds a lot more weight to Hardy’s character seeing that moment as he’s carrying Pippa Gillespie out of the river:

Unlike Hardy, whose experience happens well before we actually meet him as a character, Hawkeye’s in MASH happens right at the end of his story arch. We’ve watched him become more and more unstable and exhausted as the series continues; his nightmares and bouts of insomnia have already been going on for quite some time, and he’s shown having the tendency of rewriting traumatic memories. Which is why we find him in a mental hospital in the beginning of the final episode, being treated for for what he thinks is absolutely nothing. Then we hear about an incident on a bus when he and the rest of the MASH unit are hiding from Chinese and North Korean soldiers. He’s adamant about the fact that a South Korean woman hiding with them killed her chicken when he ordered her to keep it quiet, until finally the truth comes out:

(Sorry for the crappy quality- I can’t screencap from itunes, so a video on youtube was the best I could do.)

Now, I’m all for stopping the usual fridged-wife causing manly pain backstory, but damn it this isn’t much better! 

If Chibnall ever wants to throw in some major darkness to Thirteen's storyline, there is a loophole to her kind personality.

Nowhere in the English language does it say that kind means nice.

ok so Leia was heading to Obi-wan before the Battle of Scarif, and before she ever knew she or anyone would have the plans. It wasn’t just a last resort, “vader’s bout to get us we gotta go somewhere” decision. the fact that she was going to Obi-wan is probably the reason she was with the rebels and not on Alderaan.

so think in the context that a) Bail was knowingly sending his daughter, who has the genes of one of the most powerful force users ever, to go get a Jedi, b) Bail knew that he was sending the biological child of Anakin to Anakin’s former master and friend, c) Obi-wan definitely would knows who Leia is, d) Bail knows that Obi-wan is keeping an eye on Luke.

I’m not saying Bail Organa knowingly sent his force sensitive daughter to the only fully trained Jedi he knew how to get in touch with and also her force sensitive brother, but Bail Organa knowingly sent his force sensitive daughter to the only fully trained Jedi he knew how to get in touch with and also her force sensitive brother. Because he and Mon Mothma decided things had gotten to this point.

you mentioned you have an irk with teninch fic, what is it? and are there ships you still care about or like doctor x rose, has that fizzled down for you?

heyo nonnie. thanks for sounding so chill! cos really, it’s hard to talk about. i’m a bit afraid to.

I think my love and adoration of the Twelfth Doctor can be summed up in the fact that he’s the only Doctor I can imagine who would, without a hint of fear or angst-ridden pathos, respond to a Dalek with an exasperated, eyerolling “Oh for fuck’s sake.”

Why Red Dawn(1984) is a good movie

•The movie shows guerilla warfare accurately, and the various ways a small group of people can successfully attack a larger group.

•The Wolverines are the main characters but they are NOT always shown as the Good Guys.

•The Soviet Union is the invading army but its soldiers are shown to be just regular human guys several times throughout the film.

•The movie is not your typical America-Is-the-Best war film. The Wolverines are not soldiers, they have not been trained, they don't make impassioned speeches about how they are the Good Guys and that America Is the Best.

•Several of the characters show signs of serious psychological trauma as the storyline progresses, one of them turning into a danger to his fellow Wolverines and another who by the end of his storyline finds his surviving the war to be impossible.

•6 OF THE 8 CHARACTERS DIE. WHICH SHOULD HAPPEN IN A WAR MOVIE.

Give me a random scrap of paper at work and I will quote Shakespeare on it.
