i love that the three main gallifreyan gods (time, death, pain) are conceptual and lack other names or mortal accoutrements (as far as we know). they easily could’ve been named like azathoth or ieaiel or some sci-fi gunk but nope! humans tend to personify/anthropomorphize phenomena, maybe because we like to communicate through stories? to relate to our contexts? idk but the deification of a phenomenon itself feels reverently scientific. time, death, pain - effects that the universe has on life. on you. literally universal experiences.

with this theme in mind, may i present the new gallifreyan gods: hungry and sleepy. and taxes
