Right. I have so many thoughts about the Doctor Who Christmas special... buckle up.

First of all, and perhaps most importantly, I had a lot of fun. Ncuti Gatwa is just incredible, with his megawatt smile and energy that so perfectly encapsulates the doctor; I hadn't realised how much I'd missed seeing him on my screen until now. Moffat's bringing a pretty good game here, with a story and a universe that really intruiged me- Time Hotel! How cool is that?! The little storyline involving Anita and the Doctor working in a hotel for a year is so heart-warming, and that's what Doctor Who is all about, isn't it- the connections forged between people, friendship and love and finding companionship in dark places. May have teared up. Fully thought Moffat was going to do what he does best and set us up to love Anita only to make us watch her die, but, thankfully, he held out!

I have one major.... head scratching complaint here, though. I'd like people to correct me if I'm wrong, but did this episode have particularly... anti-covid lockdown messaging? Joy regrets not being with her mum when she died in hospital because of, and I quote, "nonsense rules."

It's one thing to regret not being with your mother when she passed, obviously, and social distancing rules were awful things that we all had to abide by, nobody doubts that... but Joy is framed as a rule-stickler and in the wrong for observing social distancing protocol during the pandemic, which in the narrative- and by the Doctor- is framed as a failing on her part.

I'm very sensitive to people not taking Covid seriously. I know people who have been affected lifelong by it's effects- many died, as we all well know- so to have Doctor Who laugh in the face of pandemic lockdown and call a necessary practise that saved lives a 'nonsense rule' kind of smarted.

Hey, I don't know. And I had fun: that's what matters.

Because of a depressive episode I've had for the past <6 months, I didn't write my bachelor project because I simply couldn't. Every day was just me staying alive. I've barely done anything but stay alive, trying to feed myself while having no energy or desire to do so. Less than a month ago, however, my brother contacted me and helped me write my supervisor, and now I've written the contract and am working on it in the 5th block (I have my semesters divided in half called blocks). The deadline is 11th of August. And it's going really well so far. My supervisor is the sweetest person and has helped me a lot with all the bureaucracy stuff and such! Only now do I realise how bad I've been feeling for these past months, and how I don't need to feel that way. Everything will work out.

I always hate the pity I get when I say "I don't have much of a family"

Like, fuck you dude. My family is very small, but my parents distanced themselves from their relatives for a good fucking reason and so have I

73 yards was sooooo fucking peak. You didn't get it? Neither! Must an episode be understandable to be good? Isn't it enough to have beautiful, beautiful cinematography and a story about bringing down a slimey politician? And the haunting visual of the TARDIS overgrown with moss? And the doctor, for all his 2 seconds of screentime, in a gigantic yellow coat and Millie Gibson acting her heart out? By far my favourite episode of the 15th Doctors run so far and if Boom was so quintessentially reminiscent of Moffats era this episode was so incredibly RTD in it's companion focus and overall vibes and- it was just great.

people are so obsessed with assigning a true "bad guy" character in deltarune its funny
