I'm Shelby.
25. Mitten state. I love cats. I'm opinionated, a grad student, and wine enthusiast.
My life is a work in progress. I welcome you inside my brain.
Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things
people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.
yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.
literally what about the “it’s leif erickson day!!” bit from spongebob was so impactful that we all just have the phrase hinga dinga durgen permanently drilled into our cerebral cortex. it was 5 seconds long
So I did some research on promotional images for Doctors 9-13 and I noticed something…
Notice what these images for Doctors 9-12 have in common……
9th Doctor
10th Doctor
11th Doctor
12th Doctor
They all give off a very moody and dark vibe. Sure these are only a small sample of promotional images, but the majority of them all have the Doctor brooding or serious, running away from danger, the backgrounds very dark to symbolise that there is danger coming.
And then we get to the 13th Doctor….
Her promotional images are light, carefree, and full of colour. She’s depicted smiling and warm, whereas her previous incarnations were usually frowning.
This looks to be symbolising how 13 has truly left her dark, tragic past behind. Everything from her reveal trailer to her promotional art shows that she is fully embracing being free and full of life again.
