You've Heard Of Earth Is Space Australia Now Get Ready For: Earth Is The Space Amazon Rainforest. Aliens

You've heard of Earth is space australia now get ready for: Earth is the space Amazon Rainforest. Aliens land on Earth and they are losing their goddamn minds because every square inch of the ground is absolutely PACKED with life like there are hundreds of species just in this one site, there are winged animals flying through the sky and multiple colonies of sophisticated social insects just in the shadow of their ship, this ONE ROCK is covered in MULTIPLE SPECIES OF ORGANISMS that are themselves MULTIPLE ORGANISMS LIVING SYMBIOTICALLY, the tall, woody autotrophs look so different from each other because they're...holy shit that's like 5, 6, 7???? different species on this one site???

they start talking to a human and the human is like "haha yeah that's a crow!" and the alien researcher is like "you called it a 'bird' earlier, is that a different name?" and the human is like "oh a crow is just one species of bird, there's like, 10 others out there"

"On this planet?"

"No, in the back yard right now."

fourteen!! ✷

I don’t know if I’m reading into it too much or not, but I’m watching the Behind the Sofa for the Sun Makers, and Matthew Waterhouse’s demeanor seems to shift after the scene where Citizen Cordo goes to jump off the building. It’s heartbreaking knowing that his brother killed himself when Waterhouse was a teen but seeing that work itself back up watching Doctor Who is even more saddening. This is part of the me-reading-into-it-too-hard, but his eyes get a little redder and his voice a little hoarser like he’s holding back tears and I started tearing up to at the idea that sitting there, having a lovely time watching Doctor Who with Katy Manning, that he couldn’t shake off the memory of his brother.

fuck you *dykes your doctor*

Finished Earthshock and I have thoughtsss like that ending is stuck in my brain rn. Adric really lived the way he died. He could never let go. His just wouldn't admit he was wrong. And the thing is, I don't hate or dislike him for it bc I know exactly why he acted the way he did. He was a gifted and skilled teen boy constantly proving himself to everyone e.g. his brother, the other kids, the Deciders. He had no one to nuture that, until the Doctor showed up. But by then the line between criticism and judgement was blurred so Adric did what he felt he had to do: compete with him. Try to one him up. That's prolly why he would 'sell out' to the villains. The very few times he felt like his genius was recognised. That anyone really *saw* him. This has prolly already been said but Adric's death is just chilling in a way like no other. Amy, Rory, Clara, River and Bill are dead physically but live on in a way, but Adric is gone. No new timeline, no transfers, no extra TARDISes, no showrunner retconning him back for a special. He's gone. And they make sure to rub that in too. No dramatic score just the explosion, a brief motif and silence. That shattered badge in the silent credits is haunting. Something he worked so hard for destroyed so easily. The parallels to Ten are so scary too. Like they both didn't know when to stop until it was too late. The Alzurian Victorious.

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.

When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'

And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'
