if being 100% gay is playing for the other team then i’d like to imagine being pansexual as playing for every team. you just sort of run around between the in and outfields juggling the extra balls and sit a couple innings in the audience eating a hotdog and eventually everyone starts to question whether you even know how to play baseball or not


lexuswillow: This is an old family picture. My family does not support my being in the LGBTQIA community. They actually are opposed to it. They tell me every day that its disgusting and that it’s sinful and I’ll go to hell for liking women. I moved out when I was seventeen, and in January I moved back in with them because I couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Every day one of my five siblings tells me to go back to Minnesota. My little brother Charlie (the black baby in the picture) is now 8 and he constantly physically attacks me and tells me that I’m not his sister and to leave. My other siblings make it very obvious and clear that they don’t want me here and my parents tell me constantly that they’re gonna kick me out soon. I’ve been saving every penny for a bus ticket to Oregon to stay with my best friend and today I found this picture in my sisters’ room ON DISPLAY. Not hidden. On display. They cut my face out of the picture. And that… That was just the last straw. I don’t care if anyone reblogs this or whatever, I don’t wanna get popular, I just want people to know that this is not what a family looks like. This is not something people should have to go through. This is no life.

The Hand of the Desert and Monument to the Drowned

Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal has produced two giant hand sculptures located in strange places. The first hand sculpture, The Hand of the Desert, is located deep in the the Atacama desert in Chile. The hand was constructed at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level. The work has a base of iron and cement, and stands 11 meters tall. The second hand, Monument to the Drowned, is a sculpture of five fingers partially submerged in sand, located at Brava Beach in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

*spoiler-free*

Oh, fandom. It’s at times like this that I consider starting a Doctor Who fan blog.

The spoiler-tastic events of the last couple of days have made a minor furor, haven’t they? For those of you who don’t know, a rumor just came out about the 50th-anniversary episode of Doctor Who that, if true, is going to leave many fans shocked, confused, and angry. Or it might, anyway - you never know with these things.

Already, we’re hearing the standard cries to boycott the show and have the creators hanged, burned, and fired, in that order.

The only reasonable response to these demands? Sit your ass back DOWN, fandom. You have almost no power and even less perspective. Because the show will survive without you quite well - it always has and it always will. How, you ask? Simple. You’re fanning it wrong.

There are two ways to look at Doctor Who - either as an extremely long-running, ever-evolving piece of storytelling and production craft, OR - as a sequence of five-or-six-year shows that follow one after another, Star Trek style, of which we happen to be witnessing only the latest iteration. The best part? Both interpretations are absolutely valid. They’re both great ways of looking at this varied, multifaceted show. And, similarly, you can be one of two different kinds of fan: either you can love the show as you would a family member - one whom you’ve known for years, whom you have seen grown and change, whom you’ve laughed at and screamed at and just generally adored, even when they frustrate the ever-living shit out of you - or you can love the show as you would a short-term romantic partner - passionately at first , then settling in with their flaws and their quirks, and then, one day, realizing that they’re just not the person you fell in love with, and it’s time to move on.

And that’s OK. Both types of fandom are OK. In the world of Doctor Who, they’re natural and healthy. But here’s the rub: you have to know what sort of fan you are. Because if you’re a short-term lover who thinks they’re ready to go steady, you’ve got another think coming.

Did you know that Doctor Who has been:

  • an experimental, semi-educational sci-fi show? (6 years, Doctors 1 and 2)
  • an earthbound James Bond-like action series? (5 years, 3rd Doctor)
  • a Gothic Horror anthology? (3 years, 4th Doctor)
  • a quirky, Douglas Adamsesque comedy in space? (3 years, 4th Doctor, admittedly limited success, though City of Death is a tour de force)
  • an attempt at a serious science fiction program? (5 years, Doctors 4, 5 and 6)
  • a floundering mess, trying to find its feet after near cancellation and a horrifically reduced episode count? (2 years, Doctors 6 and 7)
  • a subversive fantasy with political undertones and a long term mystery? (2 years, 7th Doctor, cancelled the year before the intended payoff)
  • SEVERAL long-term series of novels? (14 years, 8 Doctors, three or more publishing houses)
  • an American movie of the week? (8th Doctor)
  • a quirky, character driven drama? (5 years, Doctors 9 and 10)
  • a Tim Burtonesque adventure serial with an attitude towards plot twists and revelations that fits in perfectly in a post-J.K.Rowling, post LOST entertainment landscape? (4th year running, 11th Doctor)

This show has been all of these things and, arguably, more. Every single one of those eras is celebrated by someone and lambasted to this day by somebody else. So tell me, please, WHICH creator “ruined the show forever”?

None of them. They’ve all contributed to a communally-told fiction in the best way they could. In so doing, they have each garnered the show new fans and pissed off old ones. In fact, THAT is the Circle of Life for the Doctor Who fandom:

Start watching the show. Fall in love with the show. Continue watching when a new era begins. Witness change. Realize, this is no longer my Doctor Who. Watch as new fans fall in love with the show. Realize, and that’s as it should be. Watch your kids getting into the show, 10, 15, 20 years later. Grumble about how things were better in your day. And fall in love all over again.

If you don’t want to do that, that’s fine. Russel T Davies gave you a great TV show that lasted five years, 60 episodes. And it ended on January 1st, 2010. You can move along now.

The rest of us? We’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.

I agree with a lot of this. I also don’t agree with slightly holier-than-thou tone, because there are things wrong with Doctor Who right now that are not okay in any time period or context and do not have anything to do with being butthurt over the absence of Russel T. Davies. 

I miss Davies, okay? I miss the Ninth Doctor and the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble and Jack Harkness and Martha is-better-than-you Jones and I fucking miss Rose Tyler. 

But none of that has anything to do with what is wrong with the show right now.

Yes, the show has been mysogynist in the past. 

It has also been groundbreakingly feminist. (Hello, Sarah Jane Smith.)

Right now, it’s treatment of women is disgusting. I can handle the show moving on. I can handle the show going in a direction that, I, personally, don’t agree with. But that has nothing to do with the fact that right now we deal with a showrunner who thinks it’s okay to glorify the sexualization of little girls and uses women only as plot devices whose only purpose is to grow up with their lives revolving around the Doctor.

This is a problem in Doctor Who, it would be a problem in any television show, book series, or movie franchise, and I would raise hell about it in any situation - more so because this story is important to me, because for the last year it’s been an integral part of my personal narrative, it’s shaped decisions I’ve made and things I’ve done, and I care. 

So do not make assumptions about the way I view this show. Do not assume that you can know the motivations behind the things I say or do, or that I am less informed or more ignorant than you are.  And for the love of god, actually listen to what people say instead of just assuming they hate Moffat because he isn’t RTD.

The show is broken right now. It needs fixing.
