every time i get into a fandom i tell myself i will not fixate on some bizarre worldbuilding detail. anyway, here i am going insane thinking about time lord societal views/attitudes/norms/etc. about regeneration

#is there like a standard awkward ''explaining regeneration to kids as non-scarily as possible'' conversation #(like along the lines of the standard awkward ''explaining death to kids'' conversation)#is it the norm to regenerate from old age 12 times? how many traumatic regenerations is considered abnormal?#are post-regenerative symptoms considered a valid excuse to miss work or class? or are you expected to suck it up and come in anyway?#are there social norms on what to do after regenerating? like ''self-rediscovery'' type stuff #i think about this TOO MUCH #doctor who #there's probably a whole lot of obscure and frequently self-contradictory lore about a lot of those questions tbh
