Every time someone comments on my old fic, i feel like I'm an old actor getting paid residuals. Appreciate you, old-fic-commenters. Key source of emotional income, tbh.

gay people can’t just say I love you they always have to say some shit like “we can’t have a universe with no yaz”

I think about these scenes a lot and I really think of "I miss you" as being their way of saying "I love you" without actually saying it, in sorta the same way that "duty of care" is for 12clara.

Also I don't think we talk enough about how in this reunion scene with the hug in the tunnels they're both acting like they've been separated for years and the Doctor is the one who puts aside everything else that's happening for a moment to go hug Yaz and tell her that she misses her, but it's only actually been years for Yaz and as far as we can tell it really only seems to have been like a few hours for 13.

Thirteenth never said I love you to Yaz but she said:

"We can't have a universe without Yaz."

"If it was gonna be anyone, it'd be you."

"I wish this could last forever."

Which is so much deeper than a simple I love you.

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?
