the problem with watching doctor who as a child is that a small part of your brain can never completely give up the idea that the doctor exists. if i saw a blue police box materialize out of thin air i would not be anywhere near surprised enough.

My boyfriend is trying to explain cricket to me again. “He’s only got two balls to make 48 runs”, he says. The camera focuses on a man. Underneath him it says LEFT ARM FAST MEDIUM. A ball flies into the stands and presumably fractures someone’s skull. “There’s a free six”, my boyfriend says. 348 SIXES says the screen. A child in the audience waves a sign referencing Weet-Bix

"What for?"

"Fun."

sometimes a coming-of-age story is about holding your abusive mother as a baby and although you won’t reconcile with her in the present you begin to understand how generational trauma may have affected her behaviour towards you long ago. sometimes a coming-of-age story is also about defeating sea vampire nazis through the power of faith and befriending a communist and a devastating betrayal from your space mentor . and in the end it’s about taking your hair out of the constricting netting that’s been holding it and diving for a swim into the wild swirling waters

isn't that worth holding on?

Thinking about how by becoming a better person Narvin progressively gets more tormented by his past mistakes and pretty cruel and unhumane things he did throughout the series. Yes, he became a better person but he has to constantly face the person he was when he sees how Time Lords destroy planets without any regards for the local population and nature, when he sees Ollistra mistreating Leela as a lesser being, when he understands that the situation that Lenaris and Helico got themselves into is the result of his past-self's carelessness and cruelty. You can see throughout War Room 2 how this guilt constantly affects his decisions.

Additionally, he absolutely sees himself as the reason why this whole war is happening since he unwillingly started it. Which makes him partially complicit in Romana and Leela's imprisonment.

I wonder how much more will it affect his rationality later down the line 🤔
