We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story! 

But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.

Done with watercolor and pen and ink nib.

I always thought this story was fucked up, even when I heard it as a very young child. I even got put in the naughty corner, and a star next to my name crossed off for questioning it.

This story is so much better, and I like it’s message much more.

The Israel student group tried to stop me today and I was like no thank you I don’t support Israel and they were like “just because your Arab doesn’t mean you can’t support Israel!” And I’m like “I’m Palestinian “ And this mf white twink was like “wait aren’t you jannah intifada?? I never knew you were Palestinian, now I use to like your art and your collective but not anymore “ and I didn’t know how to react I just mf laughed because my name is literally jannah intifada

My friend insists Jodie Whittaker is the Fifteenth Doctor, but everything I see on Tumblr refers to her as the Thirteenth. Can you explain this to me?

okay these are all the doctors in chronological order in the current canon

image

everything was normal until John Hurt, who was a secret incarnation of The Doctor introduced retroactively in 2013

this incarnation didn’t call himself The Doctor during his life, because he didn’t feel like he lived up to the title

so despite Christopher Eccleston being the 10th incarnation of the Doctor, he was still referred to as The 9th Doctor

THEN

during one of David Tennant’s episodes, he gets shot by a dalek for the first time ever and is forced to regenerate, but decides not to change his face by siphoning the regeneration energy into his own disembodied hand which is a fucking long story

the short of it is that David Tennant regenerated into himself

so

David Tennant, known as the 10th Doctor, was actually the 11th and 12th incarnations of The Doctor, but was still known as the 10th Doctor for his whole tenure

so now we’re on Jodie Whittaker right

who

is known as the 13th doctor, because John Hurt wasn’t called The Doctor and David Tennant was still called the 10th Doctor even when he was the 11th and 12th

but technically she is the 15th incarnation of The Doctor and could just as easily be called the 15th Doctor

PUT SIMPLY,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jodie Whittaker plays the 15th incarnation of The Doctor, who has the 14th unique face of The Doctor, but is called the 13th Doctor because John Hurt and the David Tennant Two: The Re-Tennanting don’t count in the number order

i know it’s silly

but you’re both right

lamuella:

Can’t think why the Doctor would discourage people from travelling with her. Nothing bad’s ever happened to her companions, except for

  • Rose being trapped in another universe
  • Martha walking across a postapocalyptic planet for a year, having her heart broken, and being too traumatised to return
  • Donna having her memories torn from her against her will
  • Amy and Rory having the potential time energy of their lives devoured by Weeping Angels
  • Clara spending eternity running from her doom in a stolen TARDIS
  • Bill being shot, being turned into a cyberman, and then dying, surviving only at the cost of her humanity

Apart from that, I can’t think why she’d be concerned.

Putting these up for anyone who needs them today.

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward

Why Does he DO That: Inside The Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft

Cannot recommend WDHDT highly enough. I’ve found it helpful not just for romantic relationships, but also for growing up w a “unexplainable/uncontrollable” dad.

IT HAS ALSO BEEN REALLY HELPFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING ONLINE MOB HARASSMENT.

So if you’ve ever been bombarded w threats to be raped/killed, (so…if you’re a minority and you’ve been on the Internet for a while), this book might be useful for getting clarity around the whole entitled, abusive mindset that drives certain kinds of people to behave that way. And by “getting clarity”, I mean (for me) being able to go “oh, that’s what’s happening” and not really feel scared anymore. Or angry, or drawn out into it, or anything.

And if you’re still standing around going “but how does something like GamerGate happen?” or “but why do men hit their wives?” or whatever – please read that book and learn something.

^^^^ truth WDHDT is fantastic at cutting down MRA bullshit and calling it what it really is

Also recommending

Please consider reading these. WDHDT is really, really helpful. And I know some of you are struggling with abusive relationships, friendships, families, etc. You’re not alone. There is help.

Yo. This family holiday, please, please take care of yourself. You aren’t there to be anybody else’s cushion.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

Reading any of these books does not mean you don’t love your parents or family.  It’s just self care for helping you cope and not repeat the behaviors. 

A gentle reminder that I have Toxic Parents as a FREE PDF if you would like to download it and read it on your own. Take care of yourselves.

All the books in this thread are great; adding this one because it was the most helpful to me. Free pdf here
