the problem with watching doctor who as a child is that a small part of your brain can never completely give up the idea that the doctor exists. if i saw a blue police box materialize out of thin air i would not be anywhere near surprised enough.

things have got so bad i've resorted to britpop

asoiaf people i have to ask at what point did everyone become so obsessed with jaime because im about 400 pages in and. is it because of his povs in the later books or did you all see him push a kid off the roof and think yeah this is the guy

[somethingbrightly]

crazy how most of the time i manage to forget that the fifth doctor wears a stick of celery. how do i take this show seriously

[somethingbrightly]

exams are upcoming and i have never been less prepared meanwhile i could write an extensive essay on the portrayal of the hero archetype in doctor who. i use my time well

the entirety of doctor who is just different retellings of one mythology strung together into one canon through regeneration.

[somethingbrightly]

growing up watching doctor who is gradually realising your childhood hero was actually the monster.

[somethingbrightly]

you know big finish is authentic doctor who because a lot of it is kind of bad

[somethingbrightly]

the pitch for "kill the moon" must have been "what if we made "the beast below" but it was bad?"

one thing to be said for the world is that there is a beautiful and devastating poem for every situation.

this is the worst day of my life but sung to the tune of "first day of my life" by bright eyes

everyone saying that ruby sunday is definitely going to die after watching the trailer you're not wrong but also we did not need the trailer to know this. young woman with a weird name whose whole life seems to be one big mystery? that was all the information we ever needed to know she is going to go through hell.

Writing really is an art because how do you get a sentence down without losing half the thoughts you don't have words for. Language is a great tool but it's almost not enough to convey everything so it gets to the point where everything you say is a half lie and it's beyond your control.

new bright eyes album this summer!?

[somethingbrightly]

harrowing realisation that maybe i don't like learning because truth is valuable etc but because it makes me feel smart and feeds my ego.

[somethingbrightly]

oh yeah mock me because i, once again, went looking for hope when there wasn't any.
