learnt on radiolab this morning that coldblooded animals cant get fevers which if i had given it 5 seconds of thought i could have figured out on my own however i didnt so that throws a fucking wrench in all of my sickfic doesnt it
#it doesnt really matter though bc my timelords can still do whatever the plot needs them to do#which is exactly canon i think#thats a really fun sorta meta canon trait actually that fits#it was a very interesting episode i didnt realise how we just kidna lucked out on not being that threatened by fungi#and how climate change is changing that#MAYBE shouldnt have listened to this right after starting watching the last of us but hey what can you do#the episode is called fungus amungus if you wanna look it up#anyway so that means that means that timelrods WOULD be threatened by fungi#like where for us itΒ΄s viruses for them maybe thats the main plague threat#and gallifrey is hot right? hot and not very wet. they wouldnt have a lot of funguses there#but maybe when they ventured out suddenly there was a lot on other planets and their bodies just arent prepared#i was writing like post-potd yaz/missy yesterday and thinking about how yaz sorta like when they came home in 12x10#was like maybe a month before lockdown?#they lost the doctor and came home right into a fucking pandemic and yaz lost her mind#like looking for the doctor mustve been like one controllable thing when the entire world became uncontrollable#also a way to get out of the house#shes like im just going for a walk but she just goes to that tardis#anyway but then so i was writing yaz/missy and i had yaz tell her that and missy be like what and yaz was like oh right#you werent on earth then. and then i had yaz ask like you must have seen epidemics#and like have you seen pandemics that spread from planet to planet#and then i realised theres not a lot of that in doctor who? at least not new who idk about old but#theres the girl who waited but there the epidemic or the illness is more of just like a contrivance to create like the actual story right?#about amy and rory and 11#how different would that be now#i expect we might see some epidemic stuff in doctor who in the next like 10 years#HAS there been a pandemic on earth while doctor who was on? like that it couldve been an influence on the stories?#like you can see climate change as an influence all over the last 60 years in the stories periodically#you know what i mean?#i need to watch more classic#anyway im not gonna change the fic ive already written but this is a fun opportunity to change how i write fever in timelords from now on
