Other DW Fan: I bet your favorite companion is- Me, holding my Peri Brown Character Options Figures: Peri! I love her. She's got a huge amount of abuse survivor subtext and gets several great moments telling the Master, who's exploiting her trauma in her first story, to go fuck himself - and do you know how fucking validating that is, coming from an abusive background myself? Peri's great. And cute. I wish there were less bits with her being creeped on by randos. It's in almost every single televised story and it's not even good as fanservice- Other DW Fan: I was going to say Ace. Me: lmao no. Call me back when we actually get a story with her mom in it.

#doctor who #peri brown #i am a Peri Enthusiast First and a person second #also despite putting such a huge onus on Audrey (Ace's mom) she's never actually used??? it's confusing #you make her a huge character that impacts Ace's Everything and then never actually have her interact with Ace in any media??????#and no interacting with her mum as a baby/toddler or an illusion copy doesn't count #SUSAN HAS MORE MEANINGFUL INTERACTION WITH AUDREY THAN ACE DOES #and you know what? she's literally doing Ace's whole bit but in the 1960's #like bruh Ace is The Picture of an unreliable narrator I need more than one angle on anything from her backstory in order to believe it
