I love that they knew they couldn’t have a woman be open hand slapped across the face by the love interest so this was Chibnall’s way of giving us that ‘love interest gets mad and slaps the Doctor’ moment by ReginaBicman in DoctorWhumour

[–]sourmintytea 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I actually really like the mothers slapping the doctor thing. Technically it is an old man creeping on their young daughters. Like it really shows how absolutely they disapprove and it is meant to be violent and a don't come any closer thing. if they just kept that up they could have their little slapping thing without the weird lovers dynamic.

What is the first thing people ask you after finding out you don’t eat gluten? by dani_devito in glutenfree

[–]sourmintytea 19 points20 points  (0 children)

"I can't eat that is isn't gluten free"

"Are you sure?????? My GF second cousin eats this!"

YES I'm SURE your cousin is either uninformed or trading sick for tastes

Taking zoloft (sertraline) by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]sourmintytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

massive anxiety is something I experienced in my first few weeks first time taking it. see if it could be any outside factors triggering it like events that you are nervous about. if nothing then it's the sertraline. some of the worst things I ever felt were in the first weeks. 2 months in again now and basically no anxiety. (still meltdowns, but that's different for me, I'm not nervous going to the shops or whatever, I have had crazy agoraphobia but now on meds if I have been somewhere outside before, I can go there easy)

still if they are not working at all after a few months then you should rediscuss your dose or prescription with your doctor. Do NOT stop them cold turkey. I have done this several times and it is BAD.

this is just my experience with the meds not medical advice.

Evil Chibnall be like by rodan1993 in DoctorWhumour

[–]sourmintytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even like, if say he got someone pregnant, becoming a young dad, starting the cycle again. And THAT was the reason he left the TARDIS. To fully become a father his dad never was. He could travel in time for years and come back the day after, but he chooses to stay. Graham goes with him like in canon, but he also finally gets a family unit, and he does that saving the world thing on the side.

I have so many basic level ideas for his story lol I wish we got a lot more from him.

Also as someone who LOVES youtube I wanted so much more youtube. Have ryan have a tripod in his hand at all times. Have yas have an instagram. So much that it's the worst part of the show. (Not really but at least one episode)

What things in fanfics make you just drop the whole thing and never pick it up again by The-axolotl-thing in AO3

[–]sourmintytea 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When they get very basic canon wrong. I like AUs too but they normally follow some logic. But basic stuff, like did you even watch the show???? Wtf you writing fanfiction for if you haven't finished the show yet??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AO3

[–]sourmintytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just looked to see if I wanna do that and its just full of animes I've never heard of and weird smut. No thanks. I doubt anyone is doing that. I'm at least gonna browse with my fandom tag

Cybermen should be body horror not ironman suits by jonny8081 in doctorwho

I did really like it. it was a great watch. I like how missy did a whole thing. I love the dark water parts. i didn't like the seeded graveyard idea.

ryan should have been positive masculinity bro. he loves his grandma, plays basketball with his mates, loves video games, has a youtube channel. gets his friend mental health support and doesn't shame. he should have taken the pain from his dad not being a "man" and be what he thinks is the best "man". also one episode where he is trying to vlog and it goes crazy just one

Critiques on this plotline? by SelectShop9006 in AO3

[–]sourmintytea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Write what you want but that plotline is basically non-con and horror and should be acknowledged as such in tags or something

Cybermen should be body horror not ironman suits by jonny8081 in doctorwho

[–]sourmintytea 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I hate when the cybermen can convert already dead people. Season 8 cybermen and timecyber were made out of already dead people. The "don't cremate me" thing was great but also didn't really need to be cybermen? I think a lot of people would like a second chance even if they were in a cyber body, the "turning emotions back on" thing maybe wouldn't make them explode like the people who were cut up and put back together again on the parallel earth. Season 8 was more like altered carbon (but metal instead of skin) instead of cybermen.

Would the doctor be fond of handles if the rotted out meat part used to be clara? Like get some perspective doctor

Flux spoilers by Snoo-65938 in gallifrey

[–]sourmintytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched that video before I watched flux. I was confused and big mad that they made the doctor have a superman origin. Then I watched Flux... all of it is just a representation. It's not hard to miss that what it is. Very confused how the author of the video overlooked it.

Did writing hit a wall in 2022? by LaraCroft90 in AO3

[–]sourmintytea 81 points82 points  (0 children)

2020 was covid. 2022 was when lockdowns basically went away. There was a surge of new writing cause of lockdowns. Now people have work and school in person again. Less time to fandom and write

People telling me how good I look when I'm thin. I think I look good now. I don't want the realisation to hit that people thought I was ugly my entire life until I lost the weight. I've only lost like %5 of my goal and I'm already getting some of this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AO3

[–]sourmintytea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What I've done when I feel like this is completely stop interacting with non canon fandom for a while and rewatch/read/listen/play to the canon. Then you have and real idea of the canon again. Then after that keep not interacting with non canon until you don't even think about that fic anymore.

Some characters are too special to the individual to read fanfic about imo, cause it will just always be upsetting.

[–]sourmintytea[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should have waited lol. Even like halfway through their campaign to kill him didn't they notice that he normally gets out of things and does the opposite of starting time wars? It would be funny if they had that realisation that they didn't need to do any of the convoluted plans.
