Talking meme + positives, again

[flowsoffire]

Today's question, from pony_express (as everything will be until the 20th ;)):

Who would you rather be; the companion or the Doctor?

Definitely the companion. The Doctor is amazing, but he has a history and carries burdens I would not wish on anyone—and tbh, I could not actually imagine anyone standing in that position… He is so entirely alien. His mind works on a plane close to humans', but inherently different. So yeah, companion it is. Tbh, I am not quite sure I would be material for that either—I tend to be wrapped in my own mind rather than adventure-oriented—but I would love to see wonders, stars and different worlds and cultures, so I guess I could never resist, not for one second. In the adventures it might get tougher but idk, I could surprise myself. I don't feel like I'm a very brave person, but that is mostly not brave whenever conflict is concerned—and I'm very protective of my loved ones, plus people tell me I get mighty fierce. ;)

Positives for the last couple of days:

1- Still writing, albeit a LOT slower. I did 1,2K today, which was a hell of a lot better than yesterday’s 250 words XD But yesterday I also did research a bit about what is known of comatose patients’ perceptions of the outside world for one of my characters, so I guess the day was not entirely wasted? Also tried to plan a bit more ahead, but that’s still lol.

2- Two days ago I eventually managed to do something a bit decent for Mandy’s request icons :) The putting-characters-from-completely-different-caps-together had seemed harder this time in a way that looked natural, idk why. But I managed something that looked better, so hopefully that could give her a smile. ♥

3- Wrote an email to my German penpal—and Iʼm still sticking to the habit of German and Italian articles everyday.

4- The beautiful, cold night outside. :)

That's interesting! I'd totally be the Doctor. The companion goes out, sees some of the wonders of the universe, then stops, goes home, and resumes normal life. I wouldn't want to stop. Plus, I kind of want to save everyone (or at leas everyone who wants saving).

I can't outrun a Dalek, or anything really, so I'm convinced I'd be a terrible companion, and probably not an excellent Doctor.

You do sound like you have some nice Doctor traits! :D I'm really… human and human-minded, made of softer stuff. I couldn't take the burdens he gets. But I'd love someone like him fiercely ;)

(Plus, I kind of agree with Danny… there are the wonders you run to see, and the wonders that were before your very eyes all along. Both are equally precious, and both are worth everything.)

Hehe, I doubt Hartnell's Doctor did that much of outrunning! You'd work just fine! :D (I don't run very well either XD I have no stamina…)

I am not all that human-minded? I love humans, I just don't feel like I entirely fit. (Although I know I am one, obviously.)

Danny has a good point. I think it's a matter of finding what you want and going after it? Like I know people who found their passion in a nice home full of kids and a strong community, and I'm happy for them and think what they're doing is important. I would just get restless.

[flowsoffire]

Yeah, I get the not-fitting-in feeling—though as it appears from what I said before, I experience it in different ways…

Exactly. We each have different passions and personalities and needs… :) And there is beauty out there for everyone. (Goodness, tonight I feel like I'm constantly sounding like Unicorn Girl or something. But yeah.)

[wolfy_writing]

I kind of enjoy being weird and different.

I like your Unicorn Girl side!

[flowsoffire]

Yes! At times it can be difficult to deal with (well, mostly in one's youth), but once you embrace it, it just makes your personality richer and more unique and that is always a good thing.

Awww, thank you! ^_^ ♥
