I've been thinking about it an unhealthy amount... But like we have sooo much dark, gritty sci-fi now. Black Mirror just came out with another season last week that shows us the darkest sides of the future. Paid advertising in medicine etc etc.

Why shouldn't RTD let an alien twink hoover up incels with a retro-future Roomba? Or fight a fifty foot fifties cartoon character. It's a universe where literally anything can happen and I think that's awesome.

It's the goofiness that sets Who apart and a lot of people forgot that after Moffat's run.

I fear I'm not meant for adult life.

I want to collect my trinkets, invest in cosy blankets, drink lots of coffee and read lots of books. Is that too much to ask?

In other news, I had to deal with taxes today. That may or may not be related.

Finally reading the secret history... and I have thoughts 🧠✒️🐇🗡️

(Nobody mentions Bunny eating other people's food. Does it make me weird that that's the point I really started to dislike him. )

Me every time I'm being over-dramatic.

Okay but since it's canon that Bunny is dyslexic I have a headcanon that he totally mispronounced greek words for years till he heard Henry, then he pretended like he knew what he was saying the whole time. Bitch is only there through force of character.

I have not even finished The Secret History, but I'm already obsessed with it. The cult has gotten to me too!

Every moment I feel like I've lived with these characters... And I saw a Tiktok exploring the real Bennington College (which inspired Hampden) and somehow it was like I'd already seen it all.

Seriously, what dark magic is in this book?

How very depressing that Neil Gaiman had trended not even a tiny bit for demonstrating what a fucking horrific person he is.

As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.

Neil Gaiman Seeks $500,000 From Accuser Caroline Wallner

The author says Wallner broke her NDA by sharing her story with the media, including with New York Magazine.

He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.

He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.

Share the story. Put it on Facebook and bluesky and whatever else you're on. Make it clear what a horrifying person he is. Tell your friends. He's paying Edendale a fortune to try and cover this up. Make this hard for him. Make it cost him money.

I'd be okay with it if she was just here for the vibes tbh. This is totally what I'd be like if my neighbour was abducted one day.

"have fun hunny xo 💅👋"

I don't know why Mrs Flood just likes to live next door to companions and (awkardly, forcably) wish them well. But honestly kinda dope of her

Maybe she isn't actually anything in the story but just an ever present creature that's just here now cause it's fun

THE SNOW in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.
