so i know this is probably all ramping up to the doctor being part of the pantheon/from outside the universe, with their function being to fix, heal, and improve (“doctor”)- but they also said “where i come from, everyone goes by titles”…. not true! gallifreyan renegades & exiles went by titles, with some complicated exceptions (like drax, valeyard) -but i think it’s funny that all of these powerful mysterious new beings are going by work-related titles and the doctor isn’t the least bit suspicious like…. girl i know you can hear the non-diegetic music but can you see the foreshadowing

#hmmmmm#much to think about#dw#dwe15#the pantheon#perhaps I should start tagging for that

rtd2's idea of hinting at future villains etc is actually abysmal like. characters just Say Names now. what happened to spending a season doing hints that either didn't make sense or were mostly unnoticeable until you get to the end of the season and everything falls into place

bad wolf, saxon and torchwood were all implemented in their seasons pretty simply like, there was nothing fancy about the build up of those arcs but they all work SO well. and now we have shit like 'my legions are coming' 'the boss won't be happy' 'the one who waits whatever the fuck the line was'. it's honestly embarrasssing

#it is all unfortunately very over the top#like 'remember to care about the series arc!'#very unnaturally dragging focus away from what's happening in the rest of the episode#I'm having this problem with how thick they're laying on Ruby's backstory as well#but for sure the villain teases are too much#dw#dwe15#doctor who spoilers

lovers of hardbacks, unite (or, more likely, divide)!

dear reader! hello! do you enjoy hardback books? do you love having opinions and pressing buttons on tumblr dot com?? then oh, boy, do i have just the poll for you!!

say you're reading a hardback book that comes with a dust jacket--a book you own, perhaps, or have borrowed from a loved one or lifelong rival or sworn enemy, or anywhere else besides the library (for the purposes of this poll, we must both Have and Be Able To Remove The Dust Jacket, i'm sorry, it's very important for Science™).

please answer for your IDEAL/MOST COMMON COURSE OF ACTION--weird exceptions need not apply (unless you want them to, or you want to holler about said exceptions in the tags/replies/reblogs. i don't know your lifestyle, but i DO want to know your polarizing opinions on the care and keeping of dust jackets) (you can also holler about why you chose what you did in general, even without weird exceptions. in fact, i look forward to reading this Discourse).

***this is SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HARDBACKS, please don't skew my science with paperback propaganda :( i myself tend toward a paperback way of being, but right now Inquiring Minds Need To Know About Dust Jackets and Dust Jackets Alone***

#dust jacket off always!#upsets me when I see people with their dust jackets on#I would never say anything (unless it's my book) bc you can do what you want with your books#but seeing the beautiful cover get so torn and tatty and bent etc. is tragic#then when you finish the book it can be reunited with its little coat and popped back on the shelf#books#polls
