ok scratch what i said earlier, my favourite part of torchwood is how they apparently took their playlist ideas from 2006 me
#personal crap#torchwood #like so far we've had snow patrol feeder placebo travis #and that 'what's that coming over the hill is it a monster is it a monster' song #the only thing they've missed so far is jerk it out by the caesars :p
#personal crap #don't get me wrong fuck trump and good riddance to him #but i didn't really find the horse in the hospital routine that funny the first time #i definitely don't find it funny repeated every 5 posts on my timeline #give me john oliver's make donald drumpf again thing any day
“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand
“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” (Oscar Wilde)
if your villain is sad and yet polite they are much more entertaining and simp worthy than an annoying cocky and self righteous hero.
#THIS #also! a character can do horrible things and it still be interesting or thematically fitting to see them redeemed instead of killed!
i’m disappointed jack didn’t tell gwen ‘this is your route out of being a bastard’ to convince her to leave the police and join torchwood
#personal crap #ngl i died at jack saying 'who orders pizza under the name torchwood' and owen going 'yeah that's me. i'm a twat' #and at tosh casually going 'pterodactyl' without looking up #honestly this first episode is actually alright so far #idk why i'm surprised the pilot rtd wrote is way better than chibnall's shock value episodes but for some reason i am xD
when i called my friends the other day they were really surprised when i said i’ve never watched torchwood beyond the really infamous episodes. i promised them once i finished futurama i’d watch it next so ig this is what life has become
#personal crap #i am at least hyped for the episodes i've heard are good like adrift fragments and the one the sapphire & steel writer did #plus it'll be nice to talk to my friend who really likes it about it lol
having finished it I wanna say something I’ve realized now
the virgin rick and morty: cops out of letting emotional bits of storytelling develop our understanding of or connection with the characters 99% of the time, and constantly underlines that yes, they’re just that big an asshole/idiot
the chad futurama: has dozens of really emotionally affecting episodes that show even if the planet express crew can be and are jerks to each other sometimes, they’re still multi faceted characters and you can care about them
#personal crap#futurama #obviously it's redundant for multiple shows to do the same thing #but it's a real shame bc when rick and morty does commit to emotional moments they're really good #usually though they're happy to throw it out the window like the thing with rick's origin or noob noob #and because of that i can't connect emotionally with them like i did with fry leela bender hermes and even zoidberg in various futurama eps
Living in DC right now is really fun because you’ll go to the grocery store for the first time in over a week, see a white man buying tiki torches, and instantly decide that you don’t actually need eggs or milk or fresh produce and hightail it
Living in DC right now is really fun because you’ll clock in at your place of work, which happens to be across the street from one of the city’s largest synagogues, and you’ll see four white bald men with american flag neck buffs as masks and black hoodies walk towards it and you will, for a moment, question whether people are about to die and debate what exactly it is you need to do about it
Living in DC right now is really fun because my family has decided to make the choice to stay in the city and stockpile groceries for the next two weeks. An estimated 20% of the city will be leaving to shelter elsewhere for the week of the inauguration. Any other time in US history, an inauguration draws in Washingtonians and Americans from across the continent. It is supposed to be a celebration of democracy. Instead, we have empty houses and a city preparing for violence waged by non-residents while our streets and our homes pay the cost.
Living in DC is really fun right now because you’ll get woken up at 6:17 am by the sound of humvees driving down your block. They are on their way to secure one of the dozens of streets, bridges, and highways that are being shut down to keep out white supremacists. A soldier in uniform waves good morning while you get your usual order from Dunkin’ Donuts. He has kind eyes behind the mask. You wonder who he voted for.
Every time someone outside your sphere gets “cancelled” it looks like this
A post appears on your dash three times. “So fucking sick of seeing Internet Jones ‘stans’ on this site. You guys are gross, he literally likes kicking dogs for fun.” And you’re like damn idk about that Internet Jones but I don’t really know anything about him so guess I’ll carry on.
A month later you see the same post on your dash twice, but this time a much longer reblog had been added about how Internet Jones tripped over a dog ONCE in a video on someone else’s channel and has since apologized. They have a couple sources. You see a couple brief posts floating around defending his general character against “haters.” You think huh. Maybe that Internet Jones isn’t so bad after all.
A month later the first post appears on your dash with the first reblog and a new reblog that says “damn so you guys are just gonna forget about how he murdered three people on national television or”
You now have no idea what to think of Internet Jones.
#yeah pretty much #well it's usually not 'he murdered 3 people' it's 'he advocated for fascism' #and in that case i then hate internet jones
