(For the game) I think the doctor should have more diverse companions. Give them more non human alien companions! Give them a companion is who fundamentally bad, who they have realize they can’t fix

yeah!!!!! oh and can i add to that! one thing i'd love to see? just like. a companion who is religious. in a way that is taken account into in the narrative and that is like. discussed? you know, how does going on time travel universe hopping adventures effect one's religious ideas. that would be fascinating to me. i think we've gotten like blanket statement things about future humans adjusting their religious beliefs or whatever but that's not what im interested in exactly. i want like. what does it do, to a modern human with modern religious ideas, to have to adjust that to aliens and shit. and how does their way of incorporating this life with the doctor reflect their character!

i think that'd be fascinating!!! and someone definitely smarter than me out there could probably write an incredible buddhist companion for the doctor and draw on the obvious cultural influences borrowed about cycles of reincarnation in constructing the doctor's whole regeneration thing to discuss shit. maybe one day. i'd love to see it.

#ask #thoughts influenced by yaz again and specifically that one quote from the people in charge of writing thirteen era novels #where they talked about how they weren't told anything about yaz's personal relationship to her religion. and like.#it's practically never brought up in the show? beyond the one episode about her family history. and i think she remarked on it in Rosa too #but like the people writing the novels did not know basic things about yaz like. what routines she follows regarding prayer.#not that im an expert certainly but i'm pretty sure one of the things about muslim prayer is directing it towards. hold on im looking up th #name. okay yeah see i was right about this. towards the Ka'bah. and so like. id imagine thats A Factor when you're on a time machine #spaceship. and that's like. the most basic thing i can think of. and they didn't know that while writing yaz in the novels.#but i think that would be an interesting thing to bring up! to discuss! how do you reformat prayer that's meant to take place at a specific #time and in a specific direction when you're on a spaceship! in a time vortex where time isn't happening linearly!#like. factors. factors i would love to have acknowledged and negotiated with the doctor.
