Car: shit I just realized something

Bus: what that?

Car: train can't get lost because they are following tracks and there are not that many railway tracks in the world

Bus: holy shit

Train: car that's the dumbest thing that you ever say out of your mouth. Of course, we get lost and turn around, just in 2013 one of the Amtrak fellas ended up on SEPTA rails while trying to get to New York and had to ask directions to get back.

Car: couldn't you go back to the way you came down?

Train: couldn't you? At least you can turn around without a turn table or having to backtrack...ugh so annoying...

Plane: on the ground turning around and going for a while. In the air..ho ho..you better not be airsick.

Cruise ship: woah humans can get airsick and I thought humans getting seasick was horrible

Ocean liner: dear God did none of you test whether the humans were carrying any viruses?!! Are you insane?! This may delay our first journey!

Train: Ocean, you are aware that motion sickness isn't caused by a virus right? It is most likely caused by humans not drinking enough water or having weak stomachs.

Ocean liner: ugh I know but still.

Bus: weren't we talking about getting lost

Cruise ship: oh yeah. Ha, I don't get lost. People usually get lost on me.

Train: humans do have a weird habit of disappearing out of nowhere and never appearing again

Car: yeah but love them anyway

Train: yeah..we do.

if i ever end up writing even’s actual first encounter and adventure with the doctor, one of the running themes is going to be how there aren’t any windows on the ship.

which doesn’t seem like such a big thing at first, but that’s from our point of view, or the doctor’s, because we (and him) know the size of the universe. we know what space is, maybe not entirely, but enough to know the shape of it, yeah? we know what stars look like even when their light is a trillion years and miles away. but there are no windows on this ship. and even has never seen the night sky, has never seen a star or a planet or just the empty space that’s separated from them by feet of metal and a great deal of luck. even has lived their whole life inside, and space is not a thing they can see or touch. it’s an abstract threat beyond their walls. they could not imagine the enormity of it if they tried.

they don’t know the shape of the ship either. imagine someone let you run through a maze and then told you to draw it. you could draw the corridors you walked through and the dead-ends you ran into, but could you for certain say that you ever found the edges of it? that know the walls on the outside look like the walls on the inside? how big is it? and really, what you should be imagining is that your maze is one of a dozen different mazes all tied together with rubber bands, and none of you actually know what the whole thing looks like, and you don’t have time to talk through the walls to figure that out because if you stop moving for too long, the food dispenser at the end won’t give you anything despite reaching your goal because you were too slow, better try harder next time, stop talking and start running.

even isn’t surprised that the tardis is bigger on the inside. it doesn’t hit them until the doctor lets them see the ship they were on from the outside. like a farewell wave, opening the doors of the tardis as she orbits the ship, and even takes in the shape of it first. (they can’t figure out where they lived, where they worked, from the outside. they don’t recognize any of it.)

but then they see everything else, beyond the ship, while the doctor is standing behind them and saying something reassuring, ‘they’ll be alright without you, don’t worry about them, we fixed everything’, absently, kindly, because he knows they need a moment alone to say goodbye but someone has to stand at the controls and the silence gets to him a little too much. doesn’t see that even’s eyes are so, so wide staring beyond the ship at the universe around it.

it’s too big. they panic. they shut themselves inside the tardis.

that’s what gives the doctor pause. makes him waver, here, because even’s good companion material, they’ve got that spark in them that makes them want to help, whatever it takes, (this is what will undo them, eventually.) and he doesn’t want to leave them there. but you can’t just take something out of its natural habitat and expect it to flourish. that’s how you get wilting leaves and patchy coats and enough stress to kill something from heartbreak alone.

‘i can take you back,’ he offers. it’s the last time that’ll ever be true, but if he knew that when he said it, it’d be a very different kind of story. so he doesn’t.

even is shaking. tearing up. scared. elated? hiccuping on little gasps of air. the stars are beautiful, and terrifying, and now that even knows they exist, they can never go back to before they knew.

the doctor is cruel like that. he wants to show you the universe.

but here’s what’s true now and will be true forever: even doesn’t want to go back. i mean, god, could you blame them. one day, in a few years/decades/centuries/after the long way round to the end of the universe and the short trip back, he’s going to tell them that they can either say to his face that they’d rather he’d left them on that ship or they can stop adding it to his list of sins. they won’t be able to.

so they say no.

and they pull the doors back open just a crack, wide enough for one eye, small enough to shut again with the tremble of a hand. and they peek back out at the universe they’ve been living in. they don’t notice the ship, as the tardis breaks her orbit, speeding further and further away to a destination its passengers will never see.

that’s why there are no windows on the ship. well, that, and it wasn’t very well-designed in the first place.

He may had been a little touchy but only because he heard those things from his brother already. He knew what he was doing, and he felt so many things for this woman he had only known for a night. But that was what love was all about, right? Doing stupid things and fighting for the right thing. “Things like that happen all the time and have no meaning. Why would they have them now?” he asked, giving her a look. He then shook his head, rolling his eyes a little. “Thank you. And you may be quite okay yourself.” he said. He had his trouble finding the right words. “I just hope this will be our last stop before we finally head to Paris.” he frowned.

Different Types of transportation in a line

Trains: oh come on really, this is worse than getting blocked by a flock of sheep

Cars: AW FUCK THIS. THIS Fucking sucks!

Bus: *vibing to music *

Space Shuttle: Earthling I find your little line very inconvenient. *Put out space laser* if you don't mind I'm going to destroy it

Planes: *cleaning the floor* what? I'm bored

Cruise ship: woah cool a conga line!..Wait what do you mean this isn't a conga line

Ocean liners: *push everyone in the line aside to get to the front* what? This isn't rude it's efficient!

The whole car scene made me laugh so much. Good thing he lives in New York- he doesn’t need to drive much in the future if he doesn’t want to.

We need more variety of the themes of movies, nobody needs more superhero films.

For example, I want more disaster movies, such as sinking ship movies, runaway train movies, airplane accidents and incidents, and pretty much every single theme and genre than superhero ones.
