The Other Half

@curiositykilledtheslug hasn’t posted in probably a year. The last time I heard from them, they were working too much and dealing with some health issues.

If anyone has any recent input from S, please chime in.

Heyyyyy so I’m still here and okay. Sort of. I log on every couple of months or so for a quick scroll down but nothing more substantial than that. I hope everyone is doing okay?

its literally so fucking wild seeing people your age having kids on purpose now

Rose — The Parting of the Ways

#I think it’s less interesting when considered as a direct parallel#as in#a call back to the first episode#than as a visual for Rose being powerful#Rose is full of agency#and protects the Doctor#whether as a scared teenager who just found out aliens exist#or as a Goddess of Time#full of energy#able to turn the Daleks to dust and grant life#the text acknowledges that Rose has power#has MORE power than the Doctor at times#and reflects this by giving a low-angle shot of her face#emphasising it#not only that#but she doesn’t have to share the screen#and she is the source of light (via)

I still cannot fucking BELIEVE that tony fucking stark bought pepper an engagement ring in fucking 2008. fucking romantic idiot. when did he decide he wanted to marry her?? was it when he stepped out of the plane after being alone and hurt and scared for 3 months and she was right there, crying for him?? was it when she kept up with him during obie’s last betrayal, when she did what tony asked without pausing and fucking killed obie?? when did he realize?? when did he look at her and think ‘yes, she’s the one’???? he fucking followed her around like a lost puppy for years because he just adores her that much??? fucking romantic dumbass I hate him

If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.

incorrigible.
