a couple weeks back i had a very funny thought that made no sense under further scrutiny and so i decided not to post it but i think i'll just put it here for the sake of saving it somewhere
brennan has already established that the lines between gods and other massively magical/influential beings (archfey, archdevils, big beasts, yadda yadda) are kind of blurred? like... creatures can shift between these states if they fulfill the conditions to do so
we know ayda went SUPER FAR back in time. we're talking "leaving fossils" and "creating secret orders of knights" amounts of far back. she didnt WANT to go there either, she's actually mad as hell (malding) at her dad for making her go
we also know aguefort can grow in size big time (see: him tossing the sun literally being shown in the opening) and since ayda's also a very accomplished wizard i wouldn't put learning how to do that past her
and what is ankarna a god of again? Giants. Fire. Rage. (Conviction. Justice. Conquest. i did not definitively know these two when i formulated my thoughts several episodes ago but. i mean...)
basically: briefly considered ankarna being the remnants of ayda that somehow got stuck in the past and grew resentful of her dad for fucking her over a billion times/the unfairness of her existence -> her status as a legendary beast (half phoenix) would probably allow her to transition into something godhood-esque as she gathers a following -> this would tie into fig creating a powerful agreement with an entity/deity for warlock or paladin purposes, she and ayda stabilizing each other -> immediately remembered that ankarna has a sister (ravina) so unless there was some roundabout "ayda went through a phoenix revival and was reborn/adopted into ravinas family as a new god bc she started being worshipped by giants" i think this (very short lived) theory is off the table
however. tracker did have a moment of. bringing winter to falinel -> strengthening faith in galakaia... i wonder if ayda might at some point have brought summer to the mountains of chaos if nothing else. i feel like brennan isnt going to be able to resist making Parallels and References. idk

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,
if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."
i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,
i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

There was a post I saw about someone who mutually ghosted a guy after a date and kept matching with him and they're not interested but it's the longest "relationship" the person had been in at that point and I'm like. Karen would mutually ghost someone.
She doesn't really tell Brent/Right/Evelyn/Chris his name (he has a double first name, Patrick is not his last name) and just refers to him as "My Guy". Like "Ah damn, My Guy matched again. End my suffering." And when she tries to explain it to Right who does NOT understand how it's different, her logical answer is "it's my God given right to ghost a polite man!"
Also I just imagine her confiding in Paul about Rick and he's like "is his name Patrick" and she's like "kinda". And after that, Paul calls him "Pattycakes" cause he's never even seen the guy so why not give him a funny little nickname. He's allowed to do so at this point probably.

i do think the jealousy in school reunion is really interesting i think thats a really fun part of the doctor companion dynamic to explore, what makes me roll my eyes is the we're both in love with him "the missus and the ex" thing
but like the jealousy thing on its own? just the flipside of the making people feel special thing that we explored a bit with 12. the doctor does single people out, does make them feel special, their attention is like a fucking spotlight who would be immune to that warmth
but the other side of that then is like, was it their attention that made me special? was it their companionship that made me special? thinking of donna going travelling "it's all bus trips and guidebooks and dont drink the water and two weeks later youre back home" like sure thats comparing what the trips are like but like, that also describes sort of like, who you get to be on those trips right? a tourist vs a hero
thinking of yaz in combat magicks being like "yaz liked wearing her uniform because it marked her out as someone who belonged anywhere. ready to help, and with the right to intervene. the doctor just breezed in and made the whole universe her business, like she was born to it, and yaz longed for that confidence." thats sort of what being the doctor's plus one gives you, right? access to everywhere, without consequences, except maybe your own death but the doctor makes you feel invincible too so you dont worry about that
so sure there would be jealousy but i think making it into an ex-girlfriend kinda jealousy flattens it? "in amongst 7 billion theres someone like you" and then you get to save planets. you become a part of the doctor's hero complex. you get to see beautiful amazing things but you also get to prove yourself a hero every day. thinking of rose "the doctor showed me a better way of living your life. you dont just give up. you have the guts to do whats right when everyone else just runs away" you get to feel powerful. you get a lot of agency where in your daily life you probably dont have a lot. thats what the doctor gives to those handful of the seven billion. so what if they take it away?
thinking of clara asking "why me?" and sarah jane "did i do something wrong?" why did i get this opportunity. and why was it taken away. was it anything i did? and if it wasnt, then doesnt that undermine all that agency you made me feel like i had? can i do this on my own too? and of course lots of companions prove they can, they dont need the doctor to be who they are but idk. i think it would still be kinda insecure-making when youre still with the doctor. when youre still in the middle of it like rose in school reunion. when you dont know yet what After will look like
and this is something the fam doesnt have to deal with i think. because they came to the doctor. they werent picked, they werent offered, they asked. they dont have to wonder 'why did you pick me'. which im kinda relieved about especially thinking about yaz? imagine having to wonder 'was i a friend of convenience' on top of everything else. oof.
and another thing is that of course for the doctor the rejection hurts just as much. when a companion says no thank you, your way of life doesnt seem that fun to me (anymore)
anyway so uh tldr i guess the jealousy thing is interesting but making it a romantic jealousy is not whats interesting about it

I haven't actually drawn ross in different outfits in a while so um doodle with this cool new shirt I bought that definitely fits me and also definitely doesn't have a back made entirely of mesh (and hypothetically if the back was made of mesh I. definitely knew about that before I bought it)
max has seen him in a grand total of 3 or 4 outfits so he thought ross had swapped with someone, but he wasn't totally sure who. he might have guessed ered just because of the style, but there was still a very anxious and non-cool vibe about ross so it couldn't have been her. ross is just trying to have a night out for once
