#and because they're short they don't have to get caught up in larger overarching plots

[the--highlanders]

every day I wish they were still making the short trips books

#personal #i mean. #every day i wish there was more good two-era eu content. #but you know. #the short trips books have such a specific VIBE #they get to be weird and out there but also they get to be low-stakes and character-driven and slice-of-life-y #absolute pinnacle of dr who eu media imo #they just feel kind of. fic-y in a warm way. like they get to explore concepts /for the sake of the concepts/ #and because they're short they don't have to get caught up in larger overarching plots #what if jamie met william wallace. what if two took zoe to volunteer at a soup kitchen. #what if two had to brave his own grief and give a multidimensional creature a funeral. #what if jamie was a bear. #(<- i'm legally required to get that one in there every time i talk about short trips)
