I'm currently rewatching the Rose Tyler era of Doctor Who and all my timepetals feelings are back
Fools fight over who's better between ninerose and tenrose when you can't have one without the other!!
Ninerose was the era of falling in love, it was banter and teasing, and it was mostly focused on the two of them, so it really made it so intimate and special. You see firsthand the impact both had on each other, with Nine's character development. How he doesn't do family but alters the universe to keep Rose's father alive. How he says he doesn't care about idiot Rickey Mickey but he'd invite him on the TARDIS so he can look after her.
You see how they hold each other close to their heart, how they lose themselves in each other's presence. Holding each other's gaze.
Tenrose is an already established love but now with a totally new face, so both of them pulled back a little for the sake of the other. You get such a shyer love, with a lot of physical touch but unfinished sentences. You get promises. Stolen glances.
The way Ten says "and it is gonna be...fantastic" on the first day of his regeneration because he wanted to reassure Rose that nothing much changed.
The way on that same day, she invites him over for a family Christmas dinner, fully accepting him.
The way he asks her on where to go next and gets lost in her expression, still processing the pure joy she has to be traveling with him, that she truly doesn't mind. That he didn't lose her.
And this dynamic works so well because we had ninerose before.
"Just tell her... tell her... oh she knows."
We're all aware that Dean Pelton repeatedly harassed Jeff and stalked him right.
The thing that gets me the most is that nobody would brush this off if it was anyone other than Jeff. Imagine the Dean's behavior on ANYONE else than him. Stalking Shirley's house to move in next to her. Putting his hand on Annie's chest. Reading Abed's private emails.
Jeff constantly gets objectified and it's easy to brush it off because it's built up in his character.
He's the definition of the "you're just a pretty face with nothing underneath."
Because he's terrified of showing anything underneath, because even he has trouble accepting and understanding what he needs.
So he objectifies himself. Hot male lead that gets the girls and gets hit on by men and women. It's to be expected, it's the formula, and if the Dean sexually harasses him, it's probably not a big deal.
Jeff has been making excuses for the Dean for years. He is too forgiving, often at the expense of himself. On one hand because he's self destructive. On the other because he spent too long without friends and family to hold grudges or be mad at them. But he has to stop running away from his emotions and cope properly. He's allowed to be hurt.
I can never quite get over how much Nine tried to protect Rose. I don’t just mean keeping her out of physical danger, but also mentally and emotionally he tried to make her feel as safe and secure as possible by not letting on just how scary things truly were at times.
It hits me so hard every single time I see Nine’s demeanour change from “the delta wave is either not going to work or it’s going to wipe out the entirety of Earth along with it” to “Rose Tyler you’re a genius!” because in that moment he was clearly thinking about exactly how to break the news to Rose and he decided to lie and try to be as upbeat and enthusiastic as possible so she didn’t freak out and put herself in danger to help him. He put on a whole act, pretending that he had a plan and that all he needed was Rose to step into the TARDIS and wait for him, and he’s bouncing around and smiling the entire time.
And then he leaves the TARDIS, and the act drops immediately and it is one of THE most hard-hitting scenes in Doctor Who history, the way he just turns around and sends her home.
But also it’s when he regenerates and even though regenerating hurts because to him he still feels like he’s dying, he makes sure to crack jokes the entire time just so Rose feels comfortable and assured, and isn’t too scared by what’s happening in front of her.
Or it’s in Father’s Day when he knows the only way to save the planet is for Pete Tyler to die, but he tries desperately to find a different solution so Rose doesn’t have to go through seeing her dad die again, despite the fact that Nine and Rose had fallen out anyway because Rose had caused the entire mess in the first place.
Just... Nine protecting Rose from any emotional distress along with actual physical danger is exactly why their relationship is so so beautiful. Tenrose will always be my favourite pairing but I think ninerose is just as superior in its own way and I love it to death. Nine was so caring and compassionate towards her, even if he didn’t outwardly show it as much as Ten did. I would even go so far as to say that Nine was the most caring out of all the other Doctors. He was at his peak in emotional vulnerability, desperate not to be alone unlike post-Rose Ten, but hadn’t quite been worn down enough to switch off his feelings like Eleven. He just cared so much and GOD I miss Christopher Eccleston.
Kelly Latimore | Christ in the Rubble
Red Letter Christians partnered with artist Kelly Latimore to create this new icon, "Christ in the Rubble," which illustrates the prophetic message that if Jesus was born today, he would be born "under the rubble." Kelly wants his art to be a ‘holy pondering’ - a process that potentially brings about a new way of seeing. Our hope is that this icon, "Christ in the Rubble" will create more dialogue among Christians in the United States during this holy season about the ways our beliefs and actions - or lack thereof - contribute to the violence we're currently witnessing in Gaza. How can we shape a culture of Christianity where love truly has no boundaries? How do we create a world where our poor, homeless, refugee, Palestinian Savior - born to a teenage mother and later condemned to death - would be cherished had he been born today.
this scene where dennis casually refers to dee as his friend stuck with me because i initially thought it was hilarious that he friendzoned his actual twin sister but then i became obsessed because. they’re literally friends 😭😭😭😭 they WILL leave each other’s asses the moment trouble strikes and they’re each other’s #1 target of bullying BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS COME BACK TO EACH OTHER. their bond is thicker than circumstance. they devoured their triplet in the womb. their team-ups are ruthless and destructive to those around them. and on top of it all they’re friends!! they're dance partners. they scheme to exploit welfare & get addicted to crack together. they instinctively reach for each other when they’re scared. “deandra's gonna side with dennis—that's a given.” the chardee macdennis game teams naturally pair dennis & dee. in dennis's ideal universe dee doesn't have the forehead injury she got from falling on the ground. dennis shields her when a food fight erupts during thanksgiving dinner. dee gives dennis a soft smile underwater even though she'd just said "whatever" in response to his "i love you, sis" right before they think they're going to die drowning. do you See. do you Understand. twins by chance, friends by CHOICE 💪🔥 their toxic codependent sibling slay...
did a christmas doodle for spencer and he threatened me with certain death if i didn't post soooo........ @thrutheinferno
what’s crazy about dennis is that so many viewers probably relate to him but in ways that have nothing to do with each other
The way they cling to each other !!!! TT I want what they have so badly
