I think… that yaz would personally fight time if it meant 13 could stay with her… idk why or where this thought came from… but she’d win

An interesting detail of the progression of Mina's writing through this entry, is how it loses "color" until she writes the fated selfish wish in her heart.
At first, Mina is energic while writing everything about Whitby's supposed fake headstones. Fueled by her mischief over interviewing Mr. Swales in all of his vain glory, and his theories on how the dead carry their headstones to the afterlife. The adjectives, and the details of noting emotions makes it a rich paragraph. Mina is really happy that she catched the old sailor monologuing, until they mention a man who commited suicide.
"I did not know what to say, but Lucy turned the conversation."
Whenever what Mr. Swales says after about the lies written on the headstones and how much you should trust them, here is the turning point in which Mina's writing goes from "colorful" to "dull".
Mina may not let her grief for Jonathan weight on her emotions, even if it isn't healthy in the long run, but this moment certainly took a toll on her. Jonathan is still lost, Mina doesn't know if he is alive or dead, but she still holds the hope that he is alive. After that, there is one single small paragraph in which she only uses two adjectives as a more factual addition, rather than to convey her actual emotions.
A little heart-sick, just a little.
Then, when
"I came up here alone, for I am very sad. There was no letter for me."
I can picture how oppressive the black sky feels for Mina as she watches the infinite sea from her seat, with only her journal at hand. A blurr of "dark" writing pours from Mina's heart as she describes what is around her. Using harsh, and noting how she is in a limbo between two bands playing. Nothing touches Mina, yet she can see everything.
"I wonder where Jonathan is and if he is thinking of me! I wish he were here."
Mina, if you knew how you were a little guiding light in the middle of Jonathan's dark, and opulent jail cell.

I have oh so many feelings about the power of the doctor but the main one is about thasmin because of course it is
13 trusts yaz with a gun. She trusts yaz enough to personally be the one to make her have the gun, she trusts her enough to let her have a gun in the tardis (also yaz is very fucking pretty with a gun)
The doctor, notoriously against guns, allows yaz, no insists that yaz has one. Not enough people talk about that.
And I fully believe that if the master stepped out of line, yaz would’ve shot him- maybe not aim to kill but she would’ve done it, I’m sure.
I think not enough people talk about yaz and how cool she is anyways, but especially this episode
