why is there such a big thing in dw fandom that people think the companion needs to be relatable to the audience. do u not sometimes want to see someone in completely different circumstances/with different traits and flaws to u. personally i would find it incredibly boring if i could relate to every single companion

#i mean they function as the audience surrogate sure but u dont need that 100% of the time #‘why are they always the most special person in the universe’ first of all most of the time that is not true #but also because it makes a good story if theres mystery behind them and they do cool shit????#and like. people can and do relate to amy/clara/river #i personally dont really relate to any of them except bill #doctor who #this is another v rtd brained take i think #mine
