Will never be over the fact that Sulu's canon personality is that when he's stripped of his inhibitions he runs around shirtless with a sword and when he's on a strange planet and finds a literal gun, he just starts firing it into the air

The Doctor was just trying to respond to a voicemail and go to the right place. Two things wrong, of course: 1) She forgot she had voicemail (and that older mobile) for two thousand years, so she’s running a bit late, and 2) the TARDIS has her own idea of when and where they should go first…as usual.

When ur like: “this show is very good. In fact, it is too good. I want something I can watch with 30% brain and this is a minimum 60% brain show.”

so apparently in 815 CE there was a common belief that sky pirates sailed ships in the clouds and (working in collaberation with frankish weather wizards) stole all the crops that got damaged in storms and took them back to the cloud realm of magonia.
And this was apparently a common enough belief that an archbishop felt the need to write a treatise to debunk it and insist that only god controls the weather, which is the only reason we know about it.
there are three important points to take from this, i think
You know, the more I encounter "people believed" things like this, and the more I try to look at them without the "myth of progress" lens (of we are more sophisticated than the people of history/people of other nations) -- the more these "beliefs" look like tumblr shitposts.
I just imagine folks standing in the middle of a wrecked field, knowing half a year's work has gone to waste and the winter's going to be hard, sighing and saying, "darn you, sky pirate Goncharov, why you have to be like this?" And everyone laughs a little. And next storm someone repeats the joke, and embellishes it a bit, and so on and so on. You might tell it to your kids with a straight face but pretty much everyone's in on the joke, and I just imagine the incredulous stifled laughter in the pews when they realize the archbishop is actually taking this stupid shit seriously.
The archbishop and half your neighbours who either aren’t in on the joke or - WORRYINGLY- you thought were in on the home but are now insisting it’s not a joke and you don’t feel gaslit because that terminology won’t be invented for another half millennium but if it did you would.
You know, like on tumblr/the internet.
