Yeahh I had a younger classmate in university that said that he had to write a 700 character "thing" to describe what his internship is about.
My reaction was "that's small, 700 characters not words that's like a 4 to 5 lines"
His follow-up "that's a lot"
What do you mean that's a lot ?? That's shorter then a text to a friend where you spill some tea !
im still losing it over the "how did high schoolers write 600 word essays before chatgpt" post. 600 words. that is nothing. that is so few words what do you mean you can't write 600 words. 600 words. this post right here is 45 words.
The most unhinged part of the doctor is that whatever age he regenerates into (body wise human age wise anyways you all get it) he always starts out at 0 mentally according to the social norms that we have for that age. Anyways. This is too complicated lol.
the second doctor's relationship with ben and polly is really funny because in his early days they're like wtf? who is this violent and unreliable cryptic who has replaced our Beloved Old Man??? because they've never met the first doctor in his early days and have no idea that he, too, was a violent, unhinged, unhelpful old man
Throwback to episode 17 : The divorce episode.
What would have happened if he didn't find Uğur there ?
Ümü made the album photo, that Deniz showed his mother, in an attempt to prevent the divorce. ps : I adore her ❤️
Anyway, Cihan came home late at night, and he found the album.
Looked at the picture of him and Aliya on the horse. Stood up and you could see that he was determined to do something. Something had clicked in him.
He then went to the hospital. Once he got to her office, he found Uğur there, he hit him, and chaos issued. We suffered the jealousy trope and whatnot.
What would have happened if Uğur wasn't there ?
It's not uncommon for Cihan to show up in the hospital to see Alya for no reason at all.
But that day, that night, what would have happened ?
There was this scene a couple of episodes back. Where Alya told Cihan that they left her all alone, with no one to turn to when she needs to, no one to hug for comfort.
I can't seem to find the scene.
But her hugging Cihan when she is in trouble again and turning to him for help (or him being there for her, we haven't seen the 20th episode yet) with her mother.
Somehow, the parallel brings me comfort for this show.
When he said : when will I retire ?
Cihan answered : the day I die.😭
cihan's lawyer is the person i feel bad for the most after alya
Shoutout to the Tardis for actually landing in the PERFECT spot this episode. Love that for her.

Episode 20.
I think we all need a day or maybe a month to recover from wtv just happened in this episode.
I pray for our little boy. I know they won't do that. I hope the writers won't do it. But they did so many things i thought they would never. But they won't. I hope they won't.
Let's just recover first.
