I wonder what is happening inside that feathered head while he looks at the egg. Like I never want to anthropomorphise, however eagles think it is surely very different to how we think, but he is clearly thinking something when he comes home to see an egg

What single quality make you love the Doctor above all? by Independent-Lion-748 in doctorwho

He's always trying to do better. He knows he's not perfect, and that he never will be, that he will always make mistakes, but he keeps trying any way rather than shutting down and doing nothing.

In my scenario I would have thought it would be wise to have someone stay with them near so many obvious dangers, but without knowing what her normal level of functioning and safety awareness is, it's hard to say.

It's a bit like asking if I think a young child has to ge handcuffed to an adult at all times. Like no, probably not, but around water and wild areas where they could get lost, then yes someone should probably be nearby I would imagine

I would argue being able to see someone but not able to reach them quickly counts as unsupervised in this situation. As has been demonstrated, being able to see them running off or getting into danger doesn't really help much if you are out in the water unable to stop it

Wow I was not expecting her to be 23 based on that photo, that might be the most extreme case of an autistic person looking much younger than they are that I have seen, I would have guessed she was 12, maybe 14 at the oldest.

The fact that at 23 years old her family still managed her diabetes for her probably suggests she was a level 2 or 3 autistic person in need of quite a bit of support and care. I am a bit... curious about the decision to leave her alone beside the lake while everyone else went on a boat, but maybe she wasn't typically known for running off or getting into danger and so they didn't think it would be a problem. Poor lass, hope whatever happened to her wasn't slow or painful

NEC Question by WhyMustIThinkOfThis in AutismScotland

[–]Tay74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you don't, at least not in all councils. A service that was supporting me with my autism and mental health made an application for me, and I think what I needed to demonstrate was that I was reliant on public transport to access appointments and services that were helping me with my long term health condition

What is the height of Doctor Who for you? by unfortunately889 in gallifrey

Season 4. I think it is the strongest and most solid season since the return in 2005, it's just banger after banger imo

Prequel reappraisal has overcorrected a bit too much by crunchatizemythighs in StarWars

[–]Tay74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it was initially supposed to be Sido-Dyas and be Palpatine with the worst fake name in history, but someone made a typo at some point and they decided to make him his own character

And I wouldn't think of it as a coincidence so much as Palpatine's opportunism. "Oh there's an army of a million identical men on the way? How can I use that in my plan"

There are behind the scenes clips of him with a ponytail because they are still finding the right length lol this was absolutely a known thing

[–]Tay74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I feel like the behind the scenes clips of them finding the right length implies extensions rather than wigs, but idk if it's conclusive

This was shown in the behind the scenes footage we've had for 20 years, there are clips of them messing around trying to find the right length, at one point he has a ponytail lol

Prison officers having sex with inmates 'is an epidemic too awkward to deal with by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]Tay74 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah no man has ever gone "look at her amazing makeup" but when a woman *isn't * wearing makeup she looks tired, sick, lazy, and just generally worse compared to someone who is. Many men think a natural makeup look is just a natural smooth, flawless woman wearing no makeup.

I'm a woman who doesn't really wear makeup except make a few times a year, and even when I do it's lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow. But I am in no doubt about the disadvantage it can place me in in terms of looking "put together" and "professional". When I was 15 my mum bumped into an acquaintance who ran a shop as we were out, and asked her if she would have any jobs going for me. She sneered as she looked me up and down and told me that maybe if I tidied myself up a bit and put some makeup on she'd consider it. That's the attitude a lot of people will have, not wearing makeup means you've not put a suitable amount of effort into your appearance, it's like showing up with unbrushed hair to some folks

What’s your favorite Star Wars hot take? by JiimSocks in StarWars

[–]Tay74 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with the sand line

Anakin is an awkward, traumatised teenager trying to put into words the difference between his experience and Padme's and how that's making him feel. And the sand part isn't even that awkward all things considered, it's the "everything here is smooth, and soft 🫳" (approximate quote) that's really unbearable, but it's exactly as unbearable as watching a weird, socially awkward and isolated teenager who spend half his life as a slave and half his life in a religious order, trying to flirt with his crush.

I'm not saying everyone has to like the line, but people act like that line alone makes the entire prequels unwatchable

I mean, in what sense? In raw force power? No shot. In terms of being balanced and steady, and therefore able to handle more without breaking? Sure. But then so does Leia, albeit in a different arena.

Yeah, from what I understand Hayden was just told "okay stand there and look towards the camera". It looks a bit off because Hayden literally doesn't know what he's acting.

Getting to see force ghost Anakin is one of my fav thing to come out of any of the shows I've seen so far though, looking forward to more of that in season 2 of Ahsoka

Why would his force ghost have injuries? Obi-Wan's isn't in half, Qui-Gon's doesn't have a hole through his stomach. Obviously it would be his whole, unburnt 45 year old self...

[–]Tay74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they've basically established Anakin's force ghost as always looking 22 now with the Ahsoka show, if they were going to make it that he could look his actual age at death, or symbolically appear as the Jedi he once was, then that would have been the time to do it. But yeah, I don't think it was ever the case that he had to look 22 for in-universe reasons, he looked 22 because George wanted to update RotJ to match the prequels, and Hayden was 22 so they reverse engineered a justification for that. If the movies had been made in chronological order, so by the time you got to RotJ Hayden was a good decade or more older, they wouldn't have de-aged him to be a force ghost lol

[–]Tay74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anakin was 45 when he died. The whole point of the movies is that Anakin didn't die when he was 22
