13 was a lot like 6 in that her expanded universe material is way, way better than her TV episodes. Seriously, if you haven't read "Star Tales," it has some of the most amazing Doctor Who stories ever, especially the one with Elvis, which made me weep.

And The Witchfinders has an amazing novelization that really dives into gender roles much deeper than the episode itself, thanks to 13's inner monologue.

And the Doctor Who fanzine "More of the Universe" adds tons of stories that fix Thasmin, and it was endorsed by Jodie herself.

Chibnall is just really bad at writing the character, in my opinion.

I watched his era years after everyone else did. Matt Smith had an amazing first episode with really defined quirky characterization. Then his next few episodes, he's mostly just angry and shouting at everyone, and all of that fun eccentric energy just goes away. During that part of series 5, I was calling him the "Gordon Ramsay" Doctor.

After that, his characterization just felt really inconsistent and all over the place, to the point where he felt like three different characters inelegantly melded into one. It's way harder to get a read on his overall personality than every other Doctor, and I need to rewatch to make sense of his very disparate psyches and emotional responses to things.

By series 6, the show fell victim to a "mystery box" writing style where Moffat seemed to be making it up as he went along. Much like Sherlock, he was also constantly teasing Tumblr theorists to the detriment of the writing..

He also unlearns a lot of the Tenth Doctor's lessons with little to no commentary or repercussions.

I spent his entire era craving the consistent characteristics I saw in The Eleventh Hour and rarely getting that. Exceptions: Amy's Choice, The Lodger, Night Terrors, Closing Time, and his finale were all fantastic Eleventh Doctor episodes, and if he had depicted like that in every episode, he'd be my favorite.

Honestly, I think people like Governor Tony's vibe but some are racist and didn't want to elect a Black senator and swung the vote right last time around.

Which is a shame, because Mandela Barnes would have been an amazing senator.

I have not! I'll have to check it out!

I love high-waisted jeans for the same reasons! I can get into all my old dresses, but they can be a little tight, so those are for special occasions only until I have a flat tummy again 🙃

Rotten Pumpkin by Simon's Nest is my favorite perfume ever. It smells like fall, with notes of patchouli, cinnamon, and pumpkin.

It's been my go-to fragrance for years, though I also like Wistful Hedges and Kitchen Witchery, by the same maker, Burberry London, although that's tecnically a men's fragrance, and Hattai Le Couvent, for what I can only describe as "Cinnabon stand at a mall."

I mostly just buy drugstore makeup lol. When I do my goth look though, I really like Manic Panic products.

I'm not considered overweight based on my height, but I weigh about 5-10 pounds more than I'd like to, since any excess weight seems to go to my tummy. I was a little mortified when the internet invented a new word to make people feel inadequate -- skinny fat -- because, yep, that's me. 😮‍💨 I can hide my stomach pretty well with clothes, and people say I'm thin, but it can hurt a little looking in the mirror, and swimming is out of the question.

I work out every day, but I just can't seem to get get the flat tummy I had in my college days.

This is a gock appreciation post. 😅

Today, nothing feels like it’s meant for me. I want to go camping. I want to drink a sour by a bonfire

I feel this on a profound level. I never feel more feminine than when I'm in nature, mostly since it's nice to just escape and not have to worry about things like societal expectations.

My campfire drink of choice is a milk stout, preferably if it's chocolate-y or maple-infused.

A lot of times I'm not sure what's definitively feminine or masculine because the social norms tend to shift. This is stuff that feels feminine to me though:

I love the gothic side of femininity. Pentacles and black dresses and dark makeup and horror movies. One of my best friends is pagan, and I'm in her coven for moral support and the much cooler Pagan holidays (Yule > Christmas). I'm actually not embarrassed to say I was big into the Twilight craze in high school and I still love bands like Evanescence and Lacuna Coil to this day.

I think we're at the point where fantasy novels are female-coded. I too get the feminine urge to slay the Witch-King.

Is hiking and camping a femme thing? I'm a nature girl 🍁

Aside from that, sewing, gardening, manicures, aromatherapy, Aggretsuko, fall, pumpkin spice lattes, and rom-coms if they're written well. (My fave is "The Holiday.")

Everything involving this topic makes me so angry and sad. How do you trust any man now that this technology exists?

I think we should all think twice about having photos publically accessible, or even visible to friends, on social media. Between deepfakes, Kiwifarms if you're trans, and Clearview AI, Facebook and Instagram was a mistake.

It's illegal in other countries and eventually I think it will me in my country too, but it's already too late.

Like others have said, raising men properly, but also monitoring their internet usage during formative years. If they aren't given unlimited tablet/internet access, which is often the case, boys will always still find ways to outsmart parental locks, and parents need to stay two steps ahead.

I've heard so much messed up stuff involving the internet and Gen Z/Alpha in the news that's even worse than Andrew Tate exposure.

I'm kind more worried about future Gen Alpha men and younger Zoomers than Baby Boomer men at this point, but hopefully I'm wrong. There's still time.
