Oh so close, AI didn’t generate that game, the hard working developers at Mojang did and your AI stole all that work and is shoddily regurgitating a bastardised impression of their work at us. Hope that helps 😐

Firstly, this is absolutely terrible! There’s a reason why blocking works this way… Elon just salty so many people have him blocked lol 😭

@daemonsmatt Moffat really ‘killed off’ all of the main cast at least once per season for 3 seasons in a row, iconic 😭

tbh at this point twelve lived thru a moffat season without dying even once thats a win guys he got emotionally damaged but are we shocked

@daemonsmatt We’ve all been there, I started with Matt too back in 2010 and a full decade later I still cry at Time of the Doctor 💙💙

omg somebody stop this fucking pain what the actual fuck i am a grown ass woman with two fucking jobs why am i still crying

The good this has done for the Who community is incalculable, how do I tell the me from a month ago that opening Twitter and seeing Doctor Who on my feed will bring childlike wonder and joy instead of the usual ‘discourse’ Doctor Who is a magical experience always will be 💙💙

@Jackattack_Ind Your purpose in life is to make as much content as possible, every moment you’re not editing is a moment that human potential slips away into the void

missing footage, over 3 hours and recorded a long time ago. should I edit it?

To be clear I love both of these seasons but they did fumble their finales HARD Empire of Dearh is nowhere near as bad as Wedding of River Song though, that one is ROUGH 😭

Almost banger season with some of the best AND worst episodes, an overarching plot centred on a mystery established episode one that has a dogwater revelation in the finale that required lying to the audience, plus revelations about a companion’s parentage. Welcome Back Series 6!

The 15th Doctor: Fighting Sutekh, God of Death, bringer of the end times, the greatest foe he’s ever faced! The 14th Doctor: *drowning in 2063 Venice*

Everyone will have different feelings about the show, that’s normal. Dismissing someone’s viewpoint purely because it technically can happen in-universe doesn’t actually ENGAGE with the point the person is making. Sometimes the point they’re making is “I don’t like it” THATS OKAY

Yes, there is an in-universe explanation: The Toymaker did it! Very clever… But that literally changes nothing about the SHOULD they have made this change. That’s something only really the individual can decide for THEMSELF and ONLY themself.

This retcon, as far as I can see, has only LOST layers to the character, with no real future payoff even being possible. She can’t reunite with a family he hasn’t had yet because that will carry no emotional weight on his side.

So the Doctor’s family is still permanently relegated to the eternal ‘off-screen’ The only difference is that they’ve been removed from his memory. He is no longer a man who lost his family, she’s no longer a parent who’s seen her kids grow up.

The Doctor doesn’t have kids in their past anymore that’s moved to their future what does that ADD to their story? We’re never going to see on screen an arc where the Doctor settles down and raises a family, that’s not something the show CAN do because of its core formula.

So the question posed by people isn’t “how come this is inconsistent?” It’s “Why was this changed?” The more important question which the Toymaker or general lore entropy don’t answer.

(That it also failed to be internally consistent is just insult to injury)

Every time I see this image used to justify a lore change it annoys me because yeah you’re right that IS the in universe explanation but it doesn’t actually address the thing that’s being said. 🧵

Detracts from elements people care about. Very few people were upset at The Timeless Child specifically because it ‘doesn’t fit the lore we know’ the majority who dislike it so so because it hurt the thematic core of the Doctor that we were invested in

When evaluating a lore change to a beloved and long running show like Who whether there’s an in-universe explanation is only one small part of the puzzle. People are invested in this world and have been for **generations**, you need to evaluate whether the change…

They’re not saying “but this is inconsistent with old thing” they’re saying “it’s a shame this has been retconned” We KNOW Doctor Who lore changes, it does so ALL THE TIME! But sometimes those changes suck not for logistical reasons but for emotional ones!

However, if someone resonated with that element of the character and has taken to social media to express their FEELINGS about that change having retroactively removed that element of the character. Going ‘Lore change is justified’ misses the point.
