I was talking on the phone to my mother earlier about how it looks like I'm possibly heading into very early perimenopause, and she agreed that was likely seen as how she had her last kid at 38 (same age as me) and then immediately went straight into menopause. Her body just shut up shop like no thank you, we are not doing that again.

And I was kinda joking with her like, wow, must be nice to have not had a period for 36 years, and she kinda laughed, then said, "Yeah. Except for that time when it came back when I was about 50," and I was like oh, wild, I didn't know about that, what did the doctor say and she was like, "Doctor?"

And that's when I had to be like, what do you mean you never went to the doctor when your period randomly came back after 12 years????

"Is that bad?"

Is that... MUM.

Anyway. I spent my afternoon explaining to my 74-year-old mother that you're not supposed to get your period again after you hit menopause, and if you do, it can be a warning sign that something else is going on, like a fibroid or cancer, and she should probably go to the doctor. Which, good news, I guess, she's already going because she's had a pain in her stomach for a while.

How long?

Oh, y'know. On and off. For about twenty years.

DOCTOR ODYSSEY - MAX AVERY & TRISTAN 1x01 TO 1x06

do you think after particularly drastic height changes the doctor ends up being really clumsy and confused for a while because everything's in the wrong place? most of the doctor's actors have been roughly six foot, but 2 was about half a foot shorter than 3, 7 was about half a foot shorter than 6, and of course 12 and 14 were both about half a foot taller than 13. i'm just picturing 3 constantly banging his head when standing up and tripping over all the time whilst 7 has to resort to ladders to get anything done because for several centuries he was 6ft and can no longer reach any of the shelves his previous incarnations left their thingimajigs on

Things that cannot defeat the TARDIS...

Being jettisoned into the Z-Neutrino energy core of the Dalek Crucible.

Being turned into a self cannibalising paradox machine by The Master.

Being shunted into a human body while it's own body gets possessed by a sentient TARDIS devouring asteroid.

Things that can defeat the TARDIS...

One cup of coffee with a splash of cold milk.

Surprise!

Quite literally! I have Finally drawn again! I am so Happy! My style is a bit rough.. or perhaps I should say... ruff! (Haha, sorry!) but that's just because I have not drawn anything other than my Final Piece for the past few months!

OH!! SPEAKING OF! I GOT DISTINCTIONS IN EVERYTHING! HAHA! (The highest grade for everything! Yay!) OOH! And! Final thing.. I am starting to use my name for my Signature, so, if you can spot it, that is why it does not say Catliker :O)

jack harkness' arc is so fucking insane honestly... the guy is literally comic relief most of the time just out there throwing dirty jokes and winking at everything that moves, meanwhile his canon storyline is that his blond lady friend who was heartbroken at seeing him die absorbed The Time Vortex - that no human should ever absorb - which gave her supernatural powers that made her able to bring him back before she had to be saved BUT... she could not control those powers properly so she brought him back permanently and so he can no longer die but he keeps aging ! and he's aware of that contradiction and he asks the only other seemingly immortal being he knows about it in a way that makes it obvious that he's really fucking worried about it but that being looks him in the eyes and admits he fears what he has become and tells him he honestly has no idea what's gonna happen to him so he just has to like.. fake smile and keep on going. and then what that alien doesn't tell him is that he knows he's gonna live for another 5 BILLION YEARS and age into something entirely unrecognizable to anyone in the universe before he is finally allowed to die. like wow. that sure is the fucking comic relief right there !

tbh the pilot was such an episode. it starts with wilson talking, not house - not the literal character that gives the tv show its name. the opening shot (after the cold open) features them walking side by side, inches apart. wilson lies about the patient being his cousin just because he wants house to take the case. "he's your friend, huh?" "yeah." "does he care about you?" "i think so." "you don't know?" "as doctor house likes to say, everybody lies." "it's not what people say, it's what they do." [pause] "yeah. he cares about me." wilson is everywhere: with house's team as he comes back from cuddy's office, in their differential diagnosis room. the episode starts with them and ends with them, too. a paralel to the whole series. someone get me out of here
