rose tyler becoming bad wolf and saying “YOU ARE TINY. I CAN SEE THE WHOLE OF TIME AND SPACE. EVERY SINGLE ATOM OF YOUR EXISTENCE, AND I DIVIDE THEM” and proceeding to obliterate half a million daleks in a matter of seconds is the original Big Dick Energy
Oh my God I’m not sure of the accuracy of this scale but I made one anyways.
1: Jane Austen. Theoretically Romantic, mostly a clever satirist more interested in the novel as the perfect vehicle for social commentary than in poetry for capturing emotion. Very little chance of swooning and/or dramatic death. A very safe spot on the Romanticism scale.
2: Dorothy Wordsworth: Actually a Romantic, though not excessively so! Enjoy your long walks in the country. Keep those diaries. Your brother can mine them for publishable material until people consider them finally worthy of academic interest a century or two later.
3: Wordsworth. May result in later becoming annoyingly conservative but mostly harmless. Go ahead and wander lonely as a cloud. Gaze upon that ruined abbey.
4: Charlotte Turner Smith. Recover that English sonnet and transform it into a medium that mostly expresses sorrow! Help establish Gothic conventions! Have what Wordsworth called a true feeling for rural England! Die in penury and be forgotten by the middle of the nineteenth century!
5: Blake. ?? Who even knows man. Talk to angels. Create your own goddamn religion. Confuse all of your contemporaries.
6: Mary Shelly. Go ahead and run off with that unhappily married poet who took you on dates to your mother’s grave, but this may result in carrying your husband’s calcified heart around in a fragment of his last manuscript the rest of your life. But also, arguably inventing sci-fi as a genre… so that’s some consolation.
7: John Keats: listen to that nightingale but be forewarned: you will die of TB in Rome and everyone will mock you for dying of bad criticism instead of, you know, infectious disease.
8: Coleridge. May result in never finishing a poem and a severe opium addiction.
9: Percy Shelly. May result in being expelled from Oxford and in premonitions of your own death by drowning.
@docholligay ahah she starts whipping out her passport, shortform birth certificate*, Pharah, a pile of random identification she’s accrued over the years of getting carded,
@docholligay maybe Chu saw TG and was like “yes of course, all fighter pilots graduate fighter pilot school at 16 and then immediately do the fighting shoot-y thing. Makes absolute sense, what are you talking about internet I saw it in a movie once.”
Also can you imagine her going into bars when she first gets it and just flashes her pilot’s license around all “yep! Big hero here! What’s that you say? Free drinks? Dont mind if I do!” The bartender can’t seem to get in a word edgewise through her cheerful stream of self congratulations and proclamations of future heroism.
Tom Cruise is so fucking young in Top Gun I honestly didn’t recognize him at first? Like is he 19 there?? 20?? I had some serious mental whiplash when I realized who babyface mcfighterpilot was.
So I’ve never seen Top Gun before and my takeaway so far is that literally nobody in this movie is straight
Trying to remain Calm and Polite™ around a couple of fuckboys while they sling homophobic slurs at each other is fucking tiring. Trying to remain Calm and Polite ™ but also the right shade of stern while telling them not to do that and why is fucking exhausting I need a god damned shot and a nap.
“Use the situation to teach, so they can be better!” Fuck man, I’m tired and full of bile, they can fucking teach themselves.
BACKERKIT PRE-ORDERS OPEN FOR THE ORIENTATION & GENDER ARMORY!
If you missed backing on the Kickstarter, this is your chance to take advantage of the Kickstarter rates before they go up after production! The monochrome variant pins will not be available again after this period!
