CHILDREN HAVE EYEBROWS

If theoden stayed alive, then he and faramir would be besties and they would fix each other they would be like father and son bc they each lost one of them and eowyn would sit and laugh as the two taught each other stuff and drank and had fun, they would look upon her with such admiration and love and I think about this a lot

#ooooh i love this SO they’re both so GREAT in this exchange#it’s interesting to me particularly because the doctor#though he loves and uplifts and exalts and idolizes his companions#in many ways he generally doesn’t have very high expectations of them?#he’s thrilled when they do something clever and certainly i don’t mean#he’s SURPRISED when they save the day but he doesn’t exactly…. rely on them#per se and he manhandles them a lot int he process of getting them#to where he wants them to be to do what they need to do#but when it comes down to it he’s not surprised when clara#steals his tardis keys and throws them into the volcano#he’s not surprised when amy and rory decide they don’t really need him anymore#and he rarely asks for them when he needs them – they just tend to know#but RIVER. he asks for river#and he EXPECTS her to come and he clearly has faith in her#to be CRUCIAL to his machinations because even#if it’s a snap judgment borne out of frustration/upset#he BLAMES her here. he needed her and he admitted it and she didn’t come#and he’s hurt and disappointed by that in a way he isn’t usually??#like i feel like if he had dropped a line to amy while she and rory were doing their thing#and they hadn’t been able to come or hadn’t wanted to#he would’ve been sad but it wouldn’t’ve been a BETRAYAL#river is part of his life in a way others usually aren’t (via queenriver)

Redhawk realized his failing vision caused things to morph, so he started to play with morphing software and thought, “What if I morphed an image onto itself?”

“It’s an artistic expression of the confusion I go through with my vision loss… 

Not enough data getting sent to the brain, and it tries to fill in the blanks with false information, so you can’t trust what your eyes or brain are telling you.”

It bothers me that some people think that it diminishes a female character’s importance in the story to posit that she won’t end up in a relationship with the male protagonist. It bothers me that some people think it boosts a female character’s importance in the story to stick her in a relationship with the male protagonist.

A thinly written female character cannot be instantly patched by handing her off like a trophy at the finish line. We deserve better than women who are important only as symbols, catalysts, or markers of development to male characters. Rejecting that trope is not internalized misogyny. It’s not good storytelling, and it’s not good feminism.

But by the same token, if a female character is strong and unique and has a interesting character arc and personality, having her end up in a relationship with an equally well written male character does not diminish her either. 

Romance is often equated with femininity in western society, and femininity is always, no matter what part of the planet you are from, equated with weakness. I have no problem with well written female characters not ending up in relationships. But I hate the rhetoric that sometimes emerges when a female character ends up in a hetrosexual relationship, and the fandom just throws up their hands and says “well, she got reduced to a love interest” and completely disregard her contributions to the narrative.

my friend told me that i need to stop singing i’m a believer because it was getting annoying and i laughed because i thought she was kidding

but then i saw her face

okay so important question: after severus snape faked his death and went to live under a fake name, what would it be? also would he revert to his original name if/when harry and company found him? or what he stay “prince” instead of “snape”? i need answers

I’m gonna say Alexander Fitzroy (Alexander because of St. Severus of Alexandria, Fitzroy because it means son of a king and I feel like he’d keep some aspect of the Prince name). I don’t know if he’d keep that name if Harry+co found him- it depends on wether he intends to go back with them and what kind of life he’s had since he faked his death.
