They Asked Mass Murderer Beep The Meep His Pronouns

it's so funny cus when they cast david tennant as the doctor they didn't let him use his scottish accent. but then they hired peter capaldi and said alright, he can use his scottish accent. and then they hired ncuti gatwa and said that not only he can use his scottish accent, but they're gonna let him wear a kilt, too. david is punching walls rn

I low-key love the fact that sci-fi has so conditioned us to expect to be hanging out with a bunch of cool space aliens, that legitimate, actual scientists keep proposing the most bizarre, three-blunts-into-the-rotation "theories" to explain the fact we're not.

Some of my favourites include:

Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)

Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?

Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?

Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!

Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?

The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.

So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:

Humanity is a guy standing in the middle of a field at midnight. It's pitch black, he can't move, and he's been standing there for ages. He's just had the thought to swing his arms. He swings one of his arms, once, and does not hit another person. "Oh no!" He says. "Robots have killed them all!"

I sent my friend a picture of just like the Torchwood cast and he thought it was My Chemical Romance for a split second 😭 I don't blame him honestly, they do have that vibe especially in the pic I sent him jdjskdnf

"I created you, and I can destroy you!" "I don’t name them. The universe names them. Through me." "You’ve made a powerful enemy tonight." "I was born down here and I’ll die down here." "Don’t ‘What?’ me. I invented ‘What?’."

alice keeps saying these things that make her sound like some all powerful diety thing that's been around since the dawn of time and i know they're bits but part of me is like what if she Is and that's a whole thing. plot twist sam, your bestie is god

Rtd really said "oh yeah donna never got to experience the horrors of Midnight" and then made her experience the horrors of midnight

literally both doomed from s1 don't talk to me

I know that we assumed that Sam was a Jon parallel (new job, mysterious traumatic past, scrawniest brown man in Britain) but i don't think he is anymore. Paranoia, an unhealthy obsession with workplace mysteries, absolutely doomed by the narrative? That's all Colin.

Meanwhile, look at Sam. He's obsessed with the Magnus Institute, to be sure, but unlike Jon, he's actually good at it. He's reckless, willing to follow any leads no matter how dangerous or weird. He listens to mysterious sources that any self respecting horror protagonist (cough Alice cough) would flag as risky. But beyond that, he's also smart, confident, and brave. He's not only easy to like, he's easy to underestimate. And that's not Jon.

Learning a new language is bullshit because yeah you can learn the letters, sounds, rules and the grammar and how sentences are structured etc. but at some point you're just gonna have to grit your teeth and memorize a few hundred thousand words by heart individually

the number of children that have been orphaned in gaza crosses the mark of 25,000.
