Doctor Who. I miss being excited about Doctor Who.
I miss looking forward to streaming the show every week. I miss being excited for the Christmas special. I miss the cliffhangers and the recurring characters and the personalities of the individual doctors.
I just saw an ad for the new series in September and I literally thought “meh.”
I remember a time where you’d see nothing but the show on your dash, and all the posts had 10,000+ notes because literally everyone loved it and got excited about it.
I think the idea of fandom lost traction everywhere around the same time the show started doing plot circles, so people lost interest and it died a slow, agonizing death.
I didn’t ever think it would get here, but it has, and somewhere it makes me sad.
“But the truth is, we rely on you. Your voice inspires us.”

Basically a tribute to the whole show and its wonderful, complex characters. Time will tell if Steven and Connie can become as immortal as their alien mentors.
I spent another 4-5 hours on this, I just couldn’t help myself. I’ve wanted to do an AMV with this show + song combination for ages, it fits perfectly.
If you’re ever sad that you don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend yet and you think finding love is so hard just remember that this is great because at least you know for sure you’re not a part of an illegal human cloning experiment where your never ending strings of love interests are really just monitors courtesy of the DYAD Institute.
“Our society operates on a clearly defined, yet often unarticulated, hierarchy of violence, and… the function of politicians and police is to normalize and enforce that violence. Thus, as an institution, police act as state-sanctioned gangs charged with the task of upholding the violent, racist hierarchy of white supremacist capitalism and, whenever possible, furthering a monopoly of power where all violence from/by those higher on the hierarchy upon those lower can be normalized into business as usual.
Any deviation from this business as usual, any resistance – the threat of force displayed in massive protests… or any displacement of state power whatsoever – by those lower on the hierarchy upon those higher is met with brutal repression. This is why cops are always present at protests. It is NOT to “Keep the peace.” We have seen their “peace" - tear gas, rubber and wooden bullets, mace, riot gear, sound cannons, and thousands of brutal cops leaving dead bodies. They are not there for peace, but rather to maintain at all times the explicit reminder of America’s power hierarchy through the brutalization of black and brown bodies above all others.”
