I’m thinking about every Doctor Speech each incarnation makes about themselves and Ten and Eleven’s can very much be boiled down to “Bad Guys be Afraid of Me”
Where this is Nine’s:
"It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning, and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go? That's who I am."
And there’s nothing wrong with the “Bad Guys be Afraid of Me” just I wonder when the Doctor stopped seeing themself as apart of the awe of the universe to seeing themself primarily as a defender.

Love bombing is not a euphemism for "too much affection too soon," or "high desire for contact."
"Love bombing" is a term originally used in the context of cults to describe a deliberate and coordinated recruitment method that involved feigning friendship and interest in a potential recruit, via flattery, flirtation, physical affection, and very directed positive attention to everything the recruit says in order to lure them into the cult.
Since cults and abusive relationships operate in similar ways and use similar tactics, love bombing in an interpersonal relationship looks like manufacturing closeness in order to trap someone into a relationship in which the abuser has all the control.
And I know these days there's a million bullshit junky articles out there that make you think this is a symptom of cluster b personality disorders, but there is no way for you to be love bombing somebody without realizing it.
If you are an affectionate person and the level of affection and attention you give makes someone uncomfortable, you are not "accidentally" abusing them.
If you are uncomfortable with the level of affection and attention someone is paying you, they are not de facto abusing you.
Love bombing is about using someone's desire for human connection to fast track them into a situation you control that they will feel disinclined to leave.

This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

a magical sword can only be pulled from its anvil by a maiden of purest heart. a young knight visits the anvil daily to make the attempt, crushed each time he cannot do the deed, yearning for a sign from the universe that he *is* in truth what he yearns to be. for the world to plop the gift of identity into outstretched arms. but of course, it never does. until one day, he has a chance encounter with a nymph of the lake who was once an ordinary squire, and he learns from her that maidenhood will not be given to him, that he must be brave and choose it for himself. and so the knight changes her name and reintroduces herself to the world and employs the greatest miracles of modern science to become the maiden she had always dreamed of being, and this time, when she revists the sword, she only can't pull it because she's kind of an asshole.

I am genuinely at a loss for how something can be so stupidly petty and devastating at the same time. It's almost impressive. This accomplishes nothing, except tell the indigenous population that they will have no support or sympathy under this administration. Actual toddler behavior.

I do think that there's a certain degree of pathos to people who legitimately don't have enough empathy to understand why other people are pissed off at them. I mean like, Trump supporters who spend years flying "Fuck Your Feelings" flags and voting for a man who calls transgender people "vermin" and wants the IDF to "finish the job" in Gaza and who then get all surprised when their relatives don't want to have them over for Christmas anymore.
