On It Boss 🫡

I'm watching "That's Show Biz-Part 1" rn and I would recognize those hip movements anywhere. Welcome to the 4077 Gwen!!

Um...I have a few thoughts about this episode. It's not entirely negative because I think I liked it... but still.

The big thing is obviously the bi-generation and the splitting of the TARDIS. We have seen that the TARDIS is a living being with a personality. It even got a human form and confessed it's feelings. So what does splitting it do?

Also, New Who has made it a point to make REgeneration a big moment for all of us. We are saying goodbye to a face for good. If they ever reappear, it's at an earlier point in that Doctor's history. We will not get any REAL new stories from the timelines perspective. A favorite doesn't return return unless visiting them in the Doctor's mind.

Does Bigeneration cheapen our emotional connection to a certain Doctor? A Doctor that we've tuned in to watch each week for several seasons and then cried as they come to terms with being replaced. The monolouges and goodbyes that were beautifully written to comfort both the Doctor, any companions, and us the audience?

And really, that's all I'm worried about. How does this change how we view the most beautiful moments of Doctor Who, old and new? The grief and acceptance we go through each time with a new companion or a new Doctor. The loss and beginning anew? I love checking in on companions from different runs.

But if one Doctor is settling down and one is still going on through the stars, which one gets the happy ending? Because leaving 10/14 to live his life and never checking in on him again, he's just like a companion or the severed hand Doctor in a lot of ways. And the now "main" Doctor? Is he not still going to struggle with the same things?

Lastly as just a side note, did the Toymaster purposely missgender Missy? Because she was dying at the end of Capaldi's run and that looked like a woman's hand grabbing the gold tooth that he had trapped "The Master" in after he had won the game. I'm of the belief that 13th's Master takes place before Missy because of the character development we saw throughout 12's run ending with her "dying" alone instead of betraying the Doctor.

I was there. You can't silence me with propaganda.

June Lore Challenge: Day 12

I’m lazy sorry here’s screenshots from Discord:

I was literally just thinking to myself yesterday that I was glad these two hadn't been paired together for the semifinals. What a fool I was.

Propaganda

Toshiro Mifune (Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.

Sidney Poitier (Lilies of the Field, To Sir With Love)—an unbelievably beautiful man, a complete class act. Something about his eyes breaks my heart every time.

This is the final poll of the Hot & Vintage Men Tournament. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

THIS POLL LASTS FOR 24 HOURS.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Toshiro Mifune propaganda:

"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”

Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)

"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS"

"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."

Sidney Poitier propaganda:

I'm not usually a fan of films based off of Stephen King, but this line goes hard as fuck.

Twenty bucks to anyone who can tell me what GK Chesterton was talking about when he mentioned Flambeau's "spiked bracelet."

Alright, since I'm 80% sure Doctor Who starts tomorrow, I'm locking in my crazy guesses on who Mrs. Flood is for the season. This is based off of nothing but vibes.

1. The White Gaurdian

My reasoning? Eldritch being in white. We've seen last season that Davies is pulling from Classic Who a lot, so why not someone pretty important to some of the otherworldly aspects of old Doctor Who?

2. Kronos

I'm still really bitter about the whole Sutekh and Ruby's mom thing tbh. I convinced myself that there was evidence that Kronos was Ruby's parent (they're a God, they don't really have a gender.) And since Sutekh called himself the God of Death, it would be funny if Davies brought in another being from Classic Who that was more neutral in their title of God of Death. And as you can see above, their form while on this plane of existence is white.

Also, it's almost 100% a thing that Flood's the one that took the gold tooth that housed The Master. In The Time Monster, Kronos was about to torture the Master for all eternity if the Doctor hadn't pleaded with them to show mercy. So maybe there's still some hard feelings?

And yes, both of these rely heavily on the fact that Flood was wearing all white for about thirty seconds in the Season 1 finale.

Future racists. Fantastic.

Et tu, Hoochy Pie?

I need to go out more because I went to hang out with my friend and in only two hours I started to feel like this:

I gotta build up my endurance man.
