There’s A Certain Type Of Image I Enjoy Finding In Old Flickr Albums From The 00s Which Is Like A Completely

it's a small win for trans rights. kind of. but in reality, i'm sure they just want to make it so they can recruit as many people as possible and don't really give a shit whether it's a hetero-cis person or lgbtq person who dies for the imperialist death machine. they just need healthy bodies.

I appreciate the Thirteenth Doctor for a great many reasons but the thing I loved about her more than anything else is that of all the NuWho Doctors she's the first one who had the presence of mind to not fucking regenerate in the TARDIS, in flight.

I assume it's because after Twelve's regeneration, Thirteen was the first one to actually lose the TARDIS instead of just crashing the fuck out of it like her previous incarnations. (Side note, the TARDIS fucking throws her out like a salt shaker, do we think Sexy was miffed that she got a woman Doctor after all this time? Or was she just fed up with all the Doctors regenerating in the console room and giving her the mother of indigestions and just took it out on Thirteen to teach her a lesson? If it's the latter, it obviously worked, just sayin'.)

Look at her, respectfully parking the TARDIS and stepping outside to regenerate out in the open:

...like a reasonable Time Lord who knows and understands that regeneration Fucks Things Up and you shouldn't do it in cramped spaces.

And it's not like the others regenerated accidentally or were running away from something, in fact they all held it in until they were safe and then calmly walked into the TARDIS, took off and then promptly regenerated. Like, my dude, you know you're going to break everything in the ship with your regeneration and you know you're totally out of it for a while after you regenerate, so absolutely not in a position to deal with a broken, crashing TARDIS. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP DOING IT LIKE THIS? smh

Thank you, Thirteen, for being the first Doctor to display some common sense in your regeneration.

Look at this distinguished gentleman. Look at the way he is sitting. Yes, very distinguished.

who i would let borrow my car in lord of the rings:

boromir- would likely take it to a car wash and fill up the tank for me afterwards. no questions asked and the keys are in his hand before he finishes his sentence.

gimli- would change my tires for me. a bit worried about him off roading but he’d take care of it. it’s extremely likely that he also took it through the car wash but not out of politeness but because he got it caked with dirt and mud while driving.

elrond- i’m willing to bet my life on this man being a reliable driver. he could get negative traffic tickets- as in, the cops pull him over just to tell him how good of a three point turn that was. this man is married to the turn signals.

sam- there might be dirt and dog hair left over for weeks but yeah i’d trust him. he probably just needs the trunk space for a dresser he found on the side of the road.

who in lord of the rings i do not trust with my car:

gollum- yeah obviously he’d drive it into the swamp in .2 seconds. this little fucker does not follow road laws or any laws. the second gollum takes my car i know its over.

gandalf- i do not know how one sends an automotive on a quest but im pretty sure my car is in moria rn and i’m never seeing it again

legolas- has the biggest passenger princess energy i’ve ever seen. would total my car immediately after going diagonal across the highway because he saw a cool tree

thranduil- like father like son. passenger princess who has not been behind the wheel for decades. would guilt trip me into giving him a ride before even asking to borrow my car. gets pulled over for having a whole ass wine bottle in the cupholder.

pippin- there would be peanut butter stuck in the console for months and i’d be finding loose snacks and trinkets in my seats years afterwards. also strikes me as the type to be obsessed with the radio to the point of reckless driving

AFFIRMATIONS

There is no shame in taking a few tries to get it right

Everyone struggles with fine motor skills from time to time

I can do fine motor activities

I can locate a port and plug in a cable

I can plug my phone in on the first try

I can plug my phone in while sober

BBC Sherlock does not exist

I can do hard things
