I HAVE NO TUMBLR BUT TREE ART GOOD. It has this feral nine year old girl energy that I am HERE FOR, that energy moves mountains. It's an energy that I forgot I always wished they had given her in the actual show. It's a crying shame they didn't, but your art brings that rage-joy back at whistling speeds. Thank you.

AHH thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked it!

Although I will say, I have to respectfully disagree because I really think they DO give her that in the show! Thirteen has so much energy, but also so much anger - she just doesn't show it in front of her companions in s11 because she's desperately clinging to that mask of being this friendly, perfect hero who can show them all the good things in the universe, but she's just not that - and s12 and s13 are just showing the rather rapid progression of that mask cracking, until it falls apart completely. She's got such feral energy I swear, especially in every single scene with the Master - like I mean, there's that moment in the Timeless Children when she just

And then THIS BIT in Ascension which I use as my icon on ao3 because I love it so much HAHA

AND THEN there's that moment in Revolution of the Daleks which I'm still obsessed over where she taunts the daleks

(this gif isn't the best part of this scene, I can't find the one I want, but I'm sure everyone else has 'obedient little pets' permanently etched into their brains just like me so you know what I'm on about)

But also don't forget that like - that one scene when she opened up in this episode? When she spoke to Ryan and she ACTUALLY said how she was feeling...what did she say?

I'm angry.

And then of course @sapphichymns made that incredible gifset of every time thirteen snarls in s11 and s12 which is absolutely glorious and you should DEFINITELY check it out if you haven't seen it already.

BUT THEN IN S13 it continues!! Like just look at her FACE, and the way she MOVES - there's so much energy there!

Like I genuinely think Thirteen has so much anger, so much rage - and we know that Jodie Whittaker is intentionally putting that rage into her performance because she's spoken about it before, saying that rage comes from a really deep place...and hot damn I think you can really see it. This is the fury of an extremely dangerous, extremely ancient being who has been given so many terrifying names over the course of their many lives. Like I look at these scenes, these moments...and I can see the person who fought in the Time War, who can get completely consumed by their anger and do some really awful, messed up stuff. I can see the person who earned the title The Beast of Trenzalore...The Oncoming Storm...The Butcher of Skull Moon...

I don't really have much more to say...other than I have a lot of feelings about angry thirteen apparently HAHA (hence the art haha)

Also, as a side note, I don't think you were intentionally doing this, or even that you meant this (it's just how you came over to me - and I've had a lot of comments similar in the past so it bugged me haha) but you don't have to put down the show in order to compliment my work. There's a culture of 'comparative compliments' in fandom spaces, I think, where people feel the need to say negative things about one thing in order to compliment another (whether that be the source material or other fanwork)...which isn't necessary! The reason I draw fanart, after all, is because I really love the show, and I really love creating stuff with and for other people who love the show. Which is not to say we shouldn't criticise or critically analyse the show, or even that the show is perfect - I know it definitely isn't perfect. But I do love it a lot, and I get a lot of people trying to compliment my writing or my art by saying 'oh this is SO much better than the show' - and it actually really tires me out because my art and my writing comes from a place of a lot of joy and love - and so to say the thing that inspired me isn't any good, but my work is...feels like a backhanded compliment, to be honest. Please don't feel bad - I'm so happy you liked my artwork, and that you wanted to tell me so, it's lovely! But it's something that has been bugging me for a while, so this was just a good opportunity to talk about it. So please just bear that in mind <3
