I have anxiety and therefore have some low-key control issues. I'm at the point of my program where we're exploring our research topic before formally declaring it.
Since I was advising for this program for more than six months prior to matriculating, I've felt internal pressure to nail my research topic down asafp. Nbd.
After a minor breakdown a few weeks ago (I was overwhelmed by all the topics I was considering), E gave me a sense of direction. [He basically challenged me to do something where our two domains overlap, since I have a casual familiarity with his field and it's super relevant to mine]
I realized a few minutes ago that I don't have a working research question or general sense of the shape of my study... And I'm OKAY with that! I am still so early in reviewing the literature, finding the gaps, and generally learning as much as I can. Right now, that's enough. And it's thrilling.

She had been hospitalised because an official said they wanted to take [Palamedes'] bones away and said that they would not serve in a cell where a necromancer`s minion was allowed to carry " wizard bones'' around. I was there when they tried to forcibly take the bones away and they were forced to shock her.

doctor who companion idea. person who is literally any humanities major.
sick and tired of the doctor always choosing where to go, give me a classics major who is like “i have a thesis on this werid niche greco-roman practice due soon can we go check it out?”
give me a archeology major who wants to go see the things uncovered at their dig sites before they fell into ruin
give me a drama studies major who asks to go see lost forms of historical theater and performance
tell me the doctor wouldn’t love that, because you know they would. they would adore that.

i feel like we, as a fandom, gloss over the scene where palamedes brings “dulcinea” tea.
he knows the real dulcie dislikes it when people bring her tea!!! he’s judging cytherea’s response! he’s starting to figure things out before abigail and magnus are even killed!
an excerpt from dulcie’s letter in the mysterious study of doctor sex (which everyone should read, by the way):
in conclusion: WHAT A MAN

“See those distals? They always get more coats, because they’re fragile. What else do you notice about them?”
The Warden loved to teach. Always did. I was an early experiment. I took the flashlight and braced myself against him so that I could lean down without touching the desk: He held my shoulders so that I could examine the distal fingertips.
