I Need Feminism Because When Jesus Does A Magic Trick It’s A Goddamn Miracle But When A Woman Does

one line in the book that drives me nuts is vincent saying that he was born in a poor family and raised as a boy because they're more prized than girls. which reads to me that his family had expectations for him and that's why he was raised as a boy. probably not in the "expected to carry on the family name" cuz that's not how Philippines does it sexism. though as part of Manila's urban poor, vincent might be expected to either go to school, get an education and a decent job so he could financially provide for his family. that or be "katuwang ng magulang" and go straight to work, hustling in the streets of Manila.

it reads estragement from his family which is probably why he left and never looked back for 30 years. becoming a priest probably disappointed his parents and goes against the plan they have for him

a twitter thread that actually killed me

everyday i watch people on twitter praise a show that has one or two queer characters in 2024 for being groundbreaking for things torchwood did in 2006

Aziraphale was not miracled by the coffee you guys. He legit thinks he’s doing the right thing. That’s what makes it so sad.

He wants to go with Crowley but he can’t because the opportunity to fix everything is too important and how does Crowley not understand??? Why won’t he just COME WITH ME TO FIX EVERYTHING!???

Then Crowley kisses him and that just completely shatters him because he can’t go with him. In his eyes, he can’t pass up this chance no matter how much he doesn’t want to hurt Crowley. “I forgive you” for not coming to fix things with me. And Crowley knows the moment he says that he’s not going to change his mind and says “don’t bother”. Don’t bother forgiving me, don’t bother explaining why you won’t come with me. Just don’t bother. I’m done trying to convince you.

Perfectly in character. Horribly tragic. Poetic cinema.

Torn between duty and love. One chooses love, one chooses duty.

Classic.

thinking about angelo colasanto; i find his betrayal of jack such a compelling element of his characterization because he is such a coward, but you sort of understand it-- at first, he is overwhelmed by the fact that jack is alive, and then the mob takes over and for someone who's presumably spent his entire life trying to be as small and unseen as possible, of course he would stand back. add to that the fact that he'd spent a year in prison, which he could have seen as penance for his getting involved with jack in the first place. but then he does realize what a terrible thing he's done, and idk it's just that interplay of fear and love, of catholic condemnation and radical forgiveness, of thinking himself a martyr and jack the devil and then realizing it's the other way around that just makes him so so compelling and like. he's in one episode. three people know him

This is your daily reminder to be kind to others. Always be kind to others. Fandoms are a safe space where people can relax and finally be themselves. Don't ruin that.

Nothing like sitting in a Catholic chapel and going through the Angelo Colasanto/Jack Harkness tag on ao3 while waiting for Mass to start.

listening to the pronunciation samples wikipedia offers of different types of consonants and you know what, I don't believe some of these are actually different sounds. I think this is some audiophile shit like gold-plated cables.

“i see a man who makes it home alive but its no longer you” jack-ianto in children of earth - or whatever

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
