The Smiling Friends Intro Is Just Sensor Overload Cranked Up To 90 And It Awakens Some Sleeper Agent

Doodles

A mutual of mine told me to post this Doctor Who analysis I wrote of season 1, episode 6: Dalek.

"You would make a good Dalek" Right now, the doctor has just fought the last time war, his species is seemingly all dead expect him. And yet, the creature- that machine that still persists - tells him that he would be one of the "good" of their species for telling it bluntly to kill itself.

As much as the doctor is all for saving lives, we see a much darker version of him, literally and figuratively, through the lens of a Dalek.

Throughout the whole episode we see the masterfully put together story of how the Dalek and the doctor are in some extraordinary way, the same. The doctor can deny it all he wants, but it is the truth in this moment. And it crushes him. Because he also must believe he should be dead as well as the Dalek. A soldier with no orders.

Not quite forgotten songs

Y'know what I think we need to appreciate more?

Songs which you haven't heard for years and then you finally find them.

I don't know how to explain the feeling, but it's just so enjoyable.

trying to engage in protest communities has felt like this lately

do you have any pim headcanons 👀

jules i love you so much thank you for sending me this ask 😭

anyways here are some of my pim headcanons!!! (posted below the cut bc it's long lmfao):

⁃ his birthplace is Wollongong, Australia. he and his family moved to america when he was around 3-4 years old with his baby sister amy.

⁃ his accent softened from growing up in the states but it never truly went away; it gets stronger when he's extremely furious or drunk (and he doesn't like to be either).

⁃ his family is lower income/working class, often on the brink of poverty due to his parents' awful money management and the amount of mouths they had to feed. sadly, welfare checks were usually spent on alcohol and lottery tickets instead of healthy food, leaving pim's growth stunted from malnutrition :(

⁃ pim had a HUGE hyperfixation on gwimbly as a little boy, to the point where he would obsessively play the games until he 100%'d all of them and would even pretend to be gwimbly himself at the playground, repeating his famous catchphrase and victory dance ad naseum. imagining himself having the same adventures as his childhood video game hero was his escape from his turbulent home life...

⁃ throughout his childhood, pim was a victim of severe bullying due to his "nerdiness" and undiagnosed autism/ADHD. he was viciously teased for his Goodwill clothes and his accent, as well as excluded from group activities because his excitable personality annoyed his peers. this bullying worsened in high school, to the point where after his glasses were stolen and broken by a bully, he stopped wearing them altogether —both to avoid further harassment, and because his dad accused pim of losing it on purpose and refused to "waste money" buying a replacement for his glasses.

⁃ besides his old penpal oscar, pim had no actual friends until he went to community college, where he would meet his roommate and close friend bill from joining his UFO club, in which fillmore and duncan were the only other members at the time. what they all had in common, besides an apparent interest in aliens, was that none of them were all that popular in school either, and so they were united in being losers :,D

⁃ SPEAKING OF COLLEGE, i think pim was a bit of a party animal in his early 20s. he was more open to trying "new things"; whether it be smoking marijuana or skinny dipping, he was down (as long as it was with the boys). of course, he's mellowed out since then, but that wild side of him can still come out under sufficient peer pressure, as that alien party showed so clearly...

⁃ when pim first met charlie 7 years ago, charlie honestly hated him lmfao. he thought pim's cheerfulness was fake, and on their first day on the job, charlie progressively grew more annoyed at pim's overwhelming optimism, until he blew up at him and the two had their first real argument. however, pim didn't respond back with insults, but rather he pointed out the good qualities that charlie never saw in himself, angry tears welling up as he insisted that charlie was a good person deep down and that he's determined to bring the best out of charlie no matter how hard it may be, because he truly cares about him and sees him as a friend. as you can guess, charlie was moved by this statement, and that was when he realized that pim wasn't just pretending to be nice as part of his job as a smiling friend, he just genuinely enjoyed making people's lives a little brighter. and ever since that fateful day, the two became the best of friends :,)

I have SO many more headcanons to share, but for now i primarily focused on pim's background and upbringing because i'm autistic about giving cartoon characters lore :P

These are all actual events. These are all things that have actually happened to Eve and I. This is why I get so angry when guys tell me to just take a compliment. No. No. I do not have to accept that, no person has a right to invade my space to assert their dominance. Fuck that. I don’t owe anyone ANYTHING. I’m allowed to go to the grocery store, the subway, or walk down in the street without being accosted by some loser who feels so low that he has too dominate my space to try and make me feel small so they can feel big.

Fuck you street harassment.
