World Enough and Time was fucking great but they had better find a way to save Bill or I will kill Steven Moffat with my own two hands

Nooo because then her death will be meaningless! Don’t get me wrong I adore Bill but I think killing her would be really tragic and make for great storytelling. All of new-who companions have lived in some way, and it would make a nice change. It would also make the cybermen seem weak if they could bring her back and I don’t want that.

BORING, didn’t ask

we have enough dead lesbians in fiction, lets not add another one

bro did you just put the Cybermen’s Cool Robot Points over lesbians. like the actual real life lesbians who watch the show too?

also, black lesbians staying alive in media is always, always going to be more meaningful than killing them off. griefporn is not as meaningful as representation.

Controversy arises at Chicago D*ke March

But the parade was met with controversy when collective members carrying rainbow pride flags with a Star of David center were told to leave because the flags “made people feel unsafe,” reported Windy City Times.

“Anti-semitism is everywhere. I’m not surprised at all,” LGBT historian Sukie de la Croix commented on Facebook. “Nobody is more intolerant of differing opinions than the gay community.”

I want to be clear: American queer Jews were barred from a Pride March because they brought a Jewish Pride flag. Not an Israeli flag. A Jewish Pride flag.

fucked up.

Controversy arises at Chicago D*ke March

I’ve been seeing a lot of political-based explorations and critiques of that episode, which are obviously very important and necessary. However, that’s meant the character-based analysis has slipped to the side a bit. It’s also probably due to the fact that no-one seems to be 100% certain on Bill’s character yet, but I figured I’d start off a discussion by throwing some of my ideas out there and seeing if anyone else has been thinking the same thing.

– Bill’s very open with her emotions, not just with feeling them, but with showing them. Definitely a lot of that is from Pearl Mackie’s incredible face, but I know Bill’s character was informed by Pearl’s acting strengths, so I think that’s a pretty credible thread. And that kind of makes Bill vs Cybermen both an obvious and powerful match up. Of course, I only really like this if Bill wins in the end, but if definitely looks like she hasn’t lost all her emotions yet, so she’s winning that fight. 

– Another note of Bill’s character is that she seems to resign herself to the fact that shitty things happen to her. She doesn’t like it, and she’ll argue a bit, but she doesn’t seem to expect that to make a huge difference? It’s really sad, and it’s been something I’ve really been wanting to see Bill triumph over, see her say “no I don’t deserve this and I’m not going to take it”. She’s been getting better at that throughout the series – insisting on her way to the Doctor as she gets more comfortable, but we haven’t yet seen a direct mirror of the threatened mind wipe from the Pilot. A Cybermen emotions wipe though, that is a thematic repeat, which gives Bill a huge opportunity to show her growth and evolution during this series.

Both of these are very much based on Bill not just surviving but also defeating the Cybermen on a very personal level, resisting and escaping conversion, and saving herself. But given that the thematic threads of this series seem to be very much pointed towards that ending, I’m 99% sure that’s where it’s headed.

I have absolutely no clue how it’s going to happen practically, but thematically I just can’t see another option.

Hey can cis women stop doing this to trans women’s posts, its incredibly disrespectful and unless you’re going to end it with “I agree” / ”I support this” (spoiler alert none of them said this) leave us the fuck alone with your cis nonsense, we don’t fucking need it.

Also if you leave “as a female” like the first one i will literally come to your house and kill you.

Here’s the idea of this post, for those who don’t understand.
When you as a cis woman come to a trans woman’s post and derail it and make it all about you “as a cis woman”, you don’t help us at all, you just show how obnoxiously self centered you are and that you couldn’t give two shits about us.
