I have heard people expressing dubiousness about the “love is consent” line, and I think that’s fair. But I do love the “fear isn’t consent” line and message, it’s a excellent simple message to be sending to the kids watching the show
Thank you! :D
I noticed you too reblogged that meme so I’ll reply to yours here: I also came for the Amy/Clara/River -ness, and stayed because you were nice!

There’s a lot of transphobic programming though, of the “let’s debate trans lives” variety.
Damn that’s fucking disappointing.
….It’s not on Radio 2 is it? I’ve heard baaaad things about them recently.
oooooooh
1) please, please no more decrying Amy as “not a real person” and “not relatable” etc etc. She’s a mental illness and sexual assault survivor, that really oughta be enough to get people to think twice before writing her off
2) Acknowledge Clara as bisexual, not straight. She’s kissed and proclaimed love for both women and men, but it gets written off as “queerbaiting” for whatever bizzarre reason.
3) INCLUDE MICKEY in all-companions-not-just-the-women gifsets, he really gets left out :(
4) Whilst the fandom probably actually has a higher percentage of femslash thanks to Vastra/Jenny, more would still be cool
5) This one doesn’t really apply to the fandom on Tumblr, more the wider fandom, but maybe just a bit more respect of the fact that not all the people who made Classic Who were nice people. I’ve heard stories which vary from “offputting” to “what the actual fuck”.
Oh GOSH
Amy, I love you, but kissing someone against their will is not okay at all and I’m very disappointed that you did that. Damn…does that work as an insult? Okay – ALSO that big flappy red sweater doesn’t suit you AT ALL
Clara, you’re great but you’re a reckless control freak and Rigsy will probably never get over you dying to save him and THAT’S ON YOU, you GRIEF-CAUSER

I think they’ll wuss out and leave it with a open “did he do it or not” ending.
Very possibly… (I just got done watching and I didn’t know there was only one more episode to go. Seems kinda early to wrap it up?) I just, ugh, I really hope they don’t go with a “she’s a liar!” ending. Especially since it’s based on a real-life, even worse story.
…nah, surely they wouldn’t do that, surely. I think you’re probably right.

yeah my dad is watching it, and we talked about how there’s no satisfactory ending
Yeah, that’s what I think, and I’ve seen some reviewers mention it too. If Hagrid’s Robbie Coltrane’s character is guilty, we’ve just spent several hours in the head of a monster and gained sympathy for him. If he’s not, it sends out a really disturbing message that ultimately hurts rape survivors, and I want to think ITV wouldn’t pull that crap.
Moodboard time! npd Clara Oswald for @allisbornagain (I hope I did it right.)
