A lot of times, when people talk about mad scientists, they mean medical or biology or chemistry, sometimes you'll have a physicist or mathematician or even an engineer... But let's not forget about the hard working mad science geologists who help people scout out and build their "evil lair in a volcano" while furthering their own plot to rid the world of their competition by using their own egos against them. Meanwhile they're bending the secrets of the earth to their will, making new and strange crystalline mineral structures, and dialing in the frequency of their earthquake generators to only destroy what they're aiming at. They deserve attention too!
#yeah there have been a lot of historical mad linguistics experiments#and linguistics as a field is VERY aware that most of the answers that we want#are utterly inaccessible without some really quite terrible mistreatment of children#small science experiments are fine tho#it’s just so hard to think of any that aren’t harmful#mad science#mad scientist#linguistics

We don't talk enough about the fact that Amelia Pond, s5 Amelia Pond, before the timeline is reset, isn't just a normal orphan. Her parents didn't die, didn't abandon her, and didn't send her away. They never existed in the first place.
And if her parents never existed, then Amelia cannot exist. She is a causal impossibility.
"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces." A photograph. A face carved into an apple. Yes. Sure.
A child.
Now that's too big, surely.
But that's what she is. She is exactly the same as these things. A trace. An echo of something that could never be, never was, never could have been.
And the universe should never allow it. A whole person, that's just too much. She could not have continued to exist indefinitely, in normal circumstances, after her parents never existed.
In normal circumstances.
Because the Doctor didn't just save her from things coming out of the crack in her wall. He saved her from going into it. And he didn't just save her from the threat of going into it simply because of its vicinity.
No, by arriving when he did, he interrupted a process that was probably already in motion. And then by arriving again only moments later on a cosmic relative timestream (too quickly for the process to complete) and yet in the local relative timestream, years later --- years of a potential future caught midway through the process of rewriting -- he solidified that existence. Amy is a creature from another timeline, caught in amber. The Doctor prevented her from never existing, but only after she could already never exist.
And so, no one around Amelia thinks about it. Neither does she. There's some kind of consciousness block, because if you thought about it, really thought about it, for two seconds you'd realize she cannot exist. And the human mind can't deal with that. So, to protect itself, everyone's brain simply slides off it before ever noticing. They just assume that her existence makes sense, and don't question it, and don't notice what they don't question, that is staring them in the face.
But of course, to some extent they do notice. They can't think it, but they notice subconsciously that there's something they can't think. They notice there's something wrong with her, something uncanny. And they don't like it, and they alienate her even more because of it.
"Does it ever bother you Pond that your life existence doesn't make any sense?"

the problem with watching doctor who as a child is that a small part of your brain can never completely give up the idea that the doctor exists. if i saw a blue police box materialize out of thin air i would not be anywhere near surprised enough.

my anecdotal observation is this is the preservation and restoration website but I recognize that I am literally in the archives fandom so my pov might, perchance, be biased
#literally wandered down to the basement of my university library after listening to tma and happened to run into the head librarian#of the rare books and special collections#we got to chatting and she told me to come by again on Friday to office hours to chat#I did - hung out in the classroom waiting for the professor to get back#when she got back: ‘here’s your book here’s your book here’s-I don’t know you’#‘[name redacted] told me to come by and chat. I ran into her in the hallways.’#‘…huh’#and got to see what everyone was working on#said that I’d love to get involved but I don’t have the necessary training#said ‘if you need eyes and hands to follow instructions send me an email I’d love to help out’#and that’s how I started the process of doing my capstone project!#it was so much fun#I chatted with the head of the department when we first met about digitization#but also about preserving what has been digitized#as digital records are precarious#anyways yeah
