i want a companion thats like,, a citizen of the universe. instead of being like a modern human that needs everything explained to them theyve got their own whole like alien-to-us worldview. they know a lot about the universe because they function within it as we do in like, earth but also at times it becomes clear that their view might be biased (highlighting the way our own views are biased)
and they and the doctor can get in some real headbutting about 'no thats not how that happened/the effects of that event were different than you think/okay thats all very well in theory and im sure technically the correct Big Choice but heres how my family/home was still indirectly personally affected etc
and to make it extra fun they can have their own preconceived notions of timelords. really make the doctor face like, their TimelordnessTM. the way they are part of that system, time cop
and this companion probably is wrong about a lot of things timelord but you know what they say exposition is easy to sneak in through arguments. and the doctor loves correcting people. so. accidentally reveals way more about their own relationship to Gallifrey just because this companion keeps getting things almost right

I could go on and on about how it's my birthday, but I just felt that it's more important to share the absolutely awesome art that my best friend Rory made for me (with their permission, obviously).
I love them so much they even included my loser slash babygirl army

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

It's been 7 long years.
The final season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has just begun to release.
The Ares and Apollo cabins are in a dispute over ownership for the flying chariot.
The counselors sit around a table in the Big House.
Percy has just learned that he's (probably) gonna die in the next month, when Clarisse and Michael begin to bicker. Percy has had it up to here.
He starts clapping rhythmically. There is a lull in the room as they stare at him.
He claps faster.
"Oh golly, the road's getting bumpy, cause I've got me some friends who just can't get along-"

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.
i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it's SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.
obviously a fucking BABY wouldn't know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn't get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.
i hate this feeling. it's so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they're learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they're brand new. why didn't i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it's this easy?
it's so easy. it's so fucking easy.
