#(also im worried that if i see one more cryptic little emoji tweet my eyes will roll so far back into my skull they'll get stuck)

gotta say, while I don’t love the fact that I’ve been especially busy & stressed out with work & irl stuff lately, I did pick a good time for it with all this new doctor who news - bc I know I’ve only had the chance to see a tiny fraction of all the reactions to it so far, and frankly I’m already kinda tired of hearing it all - even for the stuff I like/think I’ll like! it’s also great for helping me keep my mouth shut bc I do have a lot of thoughts, but probably none that I’d feel confident expressing clearly without writing a much longer post than i have the time & energy to make

#honestly the only take i can put simply is this: #im so tired of this trend of announcing stuff super early #it was one of my 2 immediate reactions when they announced rtd a few months ago #& it's absolutely my feeling now #i get announcing ncuti bc logically we're expecting to get a little cameo of him within a few months #but the rest? #that's all over a year & a half away as far as anyone can tell! #what on god's green earth would make anyone want to know these things this far out? #and i dont at all mean that from an 'oooh no spoilers' perspective - kinda the exact opposite #in that i find it difficult/pointless to form any strong opinions good bad or neutral without seeing the actual product #so like all the talk that is gonna happen/is already happening based on announcements and not even trailers or little bits of content... #im like what's the point on a good day and can we please stop pretending we know more than we do on a bad day #basically im not looking forward to sitting thru months of debate/discourse/speculation whatever you want to call it #before we even have actual new content to actually react to #(also im worried that if i see one more cryptic little emoji tweet my eyes will roll so far back into my skull they'll get stuck) #(but at least i have the decency to admit that that's a me problem) #(although on a realer level im not actually thrilled about the way those starting with ncuti and now being used for everything #make every new announcement feel like it is/will be/should be of the same level of news/importance as the new doctor) #ugh see even this is closer to Getting Into It than i wanted to do #it's a good thing I don't have much time for this webbed site rn
