He's so happy to be a rat <3

like whatever number you have in your head right now, however vast, however “surely that’s all of it,” I need you to understand that number is wrong, there is more, there is always more

you think you’ve got a handle on it and then someone gently taps you on the shoulder and goes “have you listened to the audios” and suddenly a trapdoor opens beneath you and it’s just an endless staircase of box sets and spin offs and side stories that branch off into other side stories like a narrative hydra

you climb out of that and go okay, okay, I see the shape of it now, and then someone else appears from the mist like a cryptid and goes “what about the novels” and now you’re staring at shelves upon shelves of alternate timelines

and just when you think you’ve reached the edge, that you’ve found the boundary of the thing, you realize the boundary is fake, it’s been fake the whole time, it just keeps going, comics, lost episodes, animations, random BBC web content from 2009 that someone swears is essential lore

there is always more

there will always be more
