plaidhappiness asked: I really am truly sorry. I'm so happy that you can enjoy the show so much and that it brings you true joy. It's my own fault and thoughts that cause me to not like the show anymore. Just be glad that you can still enjoy such a wonderful series and not be a grump like me about it. I just look too much into things, and look too much into the real lives of the creators. And while I don't like Moffat on DW I do love Sherlock. I just have high standards for DW.

Yeah I was wondering if you would have been a little bit more considerate if the comment wasn’t anonymous.
There’s plenty of things that I don’t like about the show but I choose to keep those small things to myself. Is every episode going to be golden, no, there’s going to be a few like Love and Monsters that the whole Whovian community goes “We do not speak of this.” But everyone connects with certain episodes and Doctors for a reason and it is personal because it is an ever changing show. I like Matt and my brother likes David but we live in harmony. I respect his choices and he respects mine. The 11th Doctor is silly but has a very dark side and he’s hiding his pain and suffering through a silly facade which is something I do. My brother says he likes the way David “pulls you in” with his acting style, and that’s something I appreciate and notice too. The amazing thing about Doctor Who is that it’s not stagnant, it doesn’t get into ruts like other tv shows,  there’s no “Red John Complex” (a term coined by my Mother and myself after the Mentalist) of chasing after one villain for a whole season or multiple seasons. I embrace all the changes, sometimes I dislike them but they grow on me. This show has been around for fifty years, it’s the longest running science fiction show, there’s going to be change otherwise it wouldn’t last as long as it has.

I think Moffat is a great writer and I have faith within his writing that everything will be explained eventually and it’s the waiting that is the best part for me, the questioning and theorizing with my friends, figuring out whether we’re right or not, thinking of the most absurd theories. I noticed recently that my favourite episodes were Moffat’s before I even knew who he was. The ones I would show everyone and rewatch were written by him.
I dislike the Moffat hate and people calling the characters sexist, because if you don’t see their power and their strength maybe you should rewatch the series. With Moffat’s writing you have to focus and notice small things and then you truly notice how strong some of the female characters are. River is Badass, and the strength she has not to break character in front of her parents because they don’t know who she is, even after in her timeline they’ve died, for her to watch everyone she loves slowly forget who she is, that is extreme strength, and I feel bad for those people who don’t notice that or the strength of every other character. The characters might not stand in front of an alien army and go “BRING IT” but there are different types of strength. The strength to say goodbye and let someone you love go, the strength to tell a friend that they’re wrong, strength isn’t about holding a gun to an enemy’s face. You have to look at the series as a whole, you can’t judge a character or the writing on one episode because everything in Moffat’s series is interconnected.

Doctor Who has been a savoir to me, if I never watched “Vincent and the Doctor” accidentally because my dad left Space on while I was reading, I would never have the best friend I have today or any of my friends, I wouldn’t have gone to London and Cardiff, my thought process would be different, I wouldn’t be as patient as I am, and my Etsy shop probably wouldn’t be as successful as it is. My life would be horrible if I never watched that show, I would be alone, miserable and depressed. It’s a place where I can feel like a part of a family, a place where you instantly make friends, and I can express myself without feeling judged, and lately the Whovian community has been filled with judgement.

I just want the Whovian community to be in harmony and for the blatant hate to stop.

It physically pains me to see all the Doctor Who hate in the Whovian community.

Here’s a magnificent show about a Mad Man in a Blue Box going off to save worlds and going on adventures, and yet there’s this terrible dark side to the Whovian Community. I personally don’t care which Doctor you love, if you prefer the new series or the old one or both, but in my personal opinion since it is such a ever changing show we need to embrace all the different points of view. Whether you’re a new Whovian or old, it’s a family show and we need to start acting like a family again. We need to stop bullying the fans, the actors and the writers. I was disgusted when Steven Moffat was bullied off Twitter and I was hoping that it would be a realization of how people went too far, but they’re still pushing the buttons and going too far.

We need to be more like the Doctor and try to decrease world suck, we could do so much more than what the community is doing right now. I’m saddened by that part of the community but I just have to remember that the bad things don’t ruin the good things or make them unimportant.

On the left we have your average bread pudding but on the right we have a cookie bread pudding. Definitely not healthy at all, I had to put half a dozen store made cookies to make one serving, but doesn’t it look delicious? I’ll let you know how it tastes soon.-Later-It’s absolutely delicious. Tastes the same as bread pudding but it has chocolate and the crispy top is amazing. It’s a little more dense then the bread because the cookies soaked up less liquid than the bread.Definitely a recommendation if you have stale cookies.I need to be left alone with this right now.

Bethan Laura Wood: Stain

Stain is a set of a teacups designed to improve through use. This project examines the assumption that use is damaging to a product, for example, scratches on an iPod).

The interior surface of the cup is treated so as to stain more in predetermined places. The more the cups are used, the more the pattern is revealed. Over time they will build up an individual pattern dependent on the users personal way of drinking tea.

I have never wanted a cup any more than I do now in my entire life.

Crime television show called “Sins and Secrets” is set in Missoula!
I saw the bear statue and went HANK HUMPED THAT! I saw the fish statues and went HANK HUMPED THAT.
They’re trying to be all sad (apparently Missoula has a high suicide rate) but I just keep making nerdfighter jokes.
“This terrain holds hunters, and fishers”
“AND VLOGBROTHERS”

Oh god, just saw pair of giraffes statue. Let’s see how many nerdfighter references I can find.
