Braxiatel is the doctor's big brother and he has sisters, so why wasnt he in lungbarrow?

apparently brax isnt FROM the house of lungbarrow.

and I cannot find where its even slightly explained how he and the doctor are siblings (except that they arent talking about being "bros" theyre honest to goodness brothers)

can any gallifrey lore people lend their assistance??

Thanks for the tag!!! 😘

1. Last song: "Rule the World" by Take That

2. Favourite colours: at the moment my favourite colours are blue and teal; but I do love rainbow combinations.

3. Currently watching: we recently gained access to HBO Max which has up to episode 4 of S2 of The Pitt, so I’m waiting for more of that. Last week the big shows were Last One Laughing UK, and The Other Bennet Sister. Normally we’re watching things like Have I Got News For You, Taskmaster, Gogglebox, Richard Osman’s House of Games, Great British Bake Off, The Repair Shop, and crime dramas like Shetland, Vera, The Chelsea Detective, or The Marlow Murders. We can’t wait for the new series of Ludwig! As you can probably tell, I’m a big telly addict.

4. Currently reading: a kindle romance boxset called “Homecoming Hearts Series Collection” by H.J. Welch and Helen Juliet.

5. Current obsession: I’m still fervently shipping the Doctor with Donna Noble whenever I can

6. Currently working on: a Ten/Donna ‘Persuasion’ Austen AU. In fact, I’ve got 2 versions of it on the go: one modern setting and one period.

7. Last google search: finding a distance on the map app.

8. Current desktop picture: it’s a 60th anniversary poster from the 2024 calendar, of the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble.

Well, when I say I'm not really abreast of all the lore I mean mostly the really deepcut stuff, like references to particular pap photos or events or timelines of her relationships or other things like that; I know in broad strokes about her general relationship status/exes/the issues around buying back her masters/etc. So it wasn't hard for me to guess what Father Figure might be about but also it was just a bop lmao, in general I've always enjoyed songs that tell a little story from start to finish and it's something Taylor Swift delivers fairly often. I watched her NYT piece and she commented on how that structure is what drew her to country in the first place.

Also I thought it was funny to see people arguing over the Father Figure povs and stuff like that just for her to go on some talk show and be like "it's about Logan Roy from Succession :)" I want to believe that's real bc I want to believe she's writing song fic lmao

re: Showgirl overall, what can I say, prior to recent events her music to me had always been the most memorable and enjoyable when it was more upbeat/pop-y. The cringe lyrics don't bother me because to me those are part and parcel of Taylor Swift -- stuff like Bad Blood, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Shake It Off, Look What You Made Me Do, etc. I know she got like an influx of dedicated fans during the folklore/evermore era and that style really appealed to a lot of people but it was never the main thing I looked to from her music. Instead for me it was more, are they fun to bop along to on the radio or on public transit, to lip sync to dramatically, etc.

Messy, cringe celeb beef stuff like Cancelled and Actually Romantic are like quintessential Taylor to me lmaoo I can't imagine getting too worked up about it. It certainly helped that Showgirl came out at a time when I WAS in the mood for silly/lighthearted love songs, too. The only ones that didn't do much for me/were often skips were Eldest Daughter and Wish List.
