I go to Temple and enjoy soda. I also like dinosaurs and Batman. I promise, I am not a child.

Throughout the episode, the Doctor keeps blaming himself for everything bad that happened, but really, other than the Dalek himself, the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of two human beings: Henry van Statten and Rose Tyler.
Henry van Statten had the opportunity to let the Doctor kill the Dalek, but intentionally stopped him out of greed. No one is disputing van Statten’s fault in that scenario. The Dalek should have died right then and there and 200 people would have lived.
But here’s my thing: The Doctor has a second chance to kill the Dalek, and at that point in the story, the Dalek is literally begging for death. Rose tries to stop him, and the Doctor tells her that it killed hundreds of people. Rose responds that it’s not the one pointing a gun at her.
Well guess what, Rose?! The Doctor is cleaning up your mess. That thing killed hundreds of people because you unleashed it. I get that it was an accident, but you are in no position to make the Doctor feel guilty for trying to kill it.
People always say that it’s better that Rose showed the Dalek compassion, and that’s why it didn’t kill her or van Statten, but it was that compassion that set it free, and it took 200 innocent lives before it figured out it shouldn’t be killing. Had Rose been careful and not touched the screaming robot (because, as we all know, the best way to show compassion to something in the metal shell is by touching the metal shell), all those people would have lived and the Doctor could have reasoned van Statten into killing the Dalek without anyone dying who didn’t need to.
Like, I get that the Dalek learned a lesson and whatnot, but it died a few hours later anyway, so there’s really no reason it couldn’t have died before learning that lesson and saved everyone a lot of trouble.

capitolprostitute replied to your post: Everybody always shows Finnick and Annie being childhood friends, or with one of them being distraught as the other was reaped.
I just liked the drawing XD

Am I the only one who was convinced that they first met when Finnick was Annie’s mentor (she won the games right after him), and fell in love when they were mentors together?

Could you tell me why you don't like Taylor Swift, because I really admire her and I just don't understand why people dislike her.
Asked by beingsafeandsound
- Slut-shaming in her lyrics
- Consistent Madonna/Whore complex in her music
- Complete misunderstanding of Shakespeare
- The fact that she’s a grown-ass woman who still actively puts forth the image of a high schooler
- Archaic notions of “purity” used to shame those who are deemed impure (usually due to recreational use of sex, drugs, or alcohol)
- Simplistic and mediocre musical structure
- Rabid fanbase who largely dismisses criticisms of her on the basis that the people making them are simply being mean, an image which Swift is quick to encourage.
Basically, I think she’s a poor role model with anti-feminist values whose fame is not proportional to her talent.

Headcanon: The U.S. Government was given the Aircraft Carrier Valiant by the U.K. Government as recompense for the Prime Minister assassinating the President.
And then they couldn’t figure out how to fly it so they gave it to Nick Fury.

... you are watching Avatar! That's great. I really hope you enjoy it. I like reading your opinions and such and it'd be cool to see that plus Avatar. :D Toph is the greatest earthbender.
Asked by burningapathy
I’m intending to start watching it, but I can’t do so until I’m back in the city, because my sister and I are going to watch it together.
But yes, I’m very much looking forward to meeting all these characters and then never watching the movie.
-
One of the main reasons I’m looking forward to watching Avatar: The Last Airbender is this character called Toph.
I know next-to-nothing about her but she is already my favorite.
