Spiralling-spires - The Spiral's Special Little Boy

FINALLY made it to a gimmick post on the right day

You can only reblog this today.

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.

Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"

Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.

one time an irl told me they had followed me on instagram. i did not have instagram at the time, and told them as such. they did not believe me, and continued to insist they had followed me on instagram. i later found out they had followed some random model who i guess had a similar hair color as me? that was an interesting time

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

i know every digit of pi

Yeah no this is definitely a thing, i got two more today and one of them had an age and it was 23

Ive noticed something through the process of reporting the endless barrage of spambots.

Either the bio does not have an age, or the age is 23.

Is 23 a sexy age? Do you automatically gain +10 sex appeal points for the year that you’re 23 and lose them on your 24th birthday? Is 23 a common “random” number? Am I actually just being influenced by recency bias and subconsciously ignoring any other ages?

Am I overanalyzing the age stated in the bio of a spambot? Yes, yes I believe I am.

S1E2 The End of the World: The Lonely

You’d think an episode with that name would be the End or the Extinction, but it reeks of the Lonely. Rose is surrounded by aliens. The only other human around is Cassandra, and she’s no prize. Rose realizes everyone she loves is dead. The Doctor talks about Gallifrey for the first time (not counting Doctors 1-8, this is all going to be 9 onward). The extremely Lonely scene at the end where Rose is standing still while a crowd of people walk around her. It’s got elements of End, Corruption, Vast, and Desolation, but the Lonely truly rules this episode.

Starting my first “long thread of me watching a thing”

The thread?

Assigning tma fears to every doctor who episode (starting with the 9th doctor and going onward)! I plan to watch every episode basically chronologically but we’ll see how it plays out.

I want to do a hear me out cake but i think my perception of what even counts as a hear me out has been horribly warped by the simple fact that i am on tumblr

When the many-eyed eldritch being tries hitting on a human

fuck all the other bots this is by far the most ominous message i’ve received

I had a whole post planned about how the Web has nothing to do with spiders - they make their webs based mostly on preprogrammed instinct and some of them get lucky and catch something and live - but then I realized that the Web doesn’t necessarily know why the threads connect the way they do. The Web understands what strings to pull, how to manipulate the outcome - but it’s the Eye that knows.

Still, is it strategy or instinct that drives the mother of puppets?

I swear I saw a tumblr post on here that said ‘horses have over 4,000 bones’ and i don’t know where it came from because its totally wrong, they have 205, but what kind of fucked up horse has this person seen out there because I’m absolutely terrified of it
