THIRTEEN + WOMEN FROM HISTORY

[oh-master]

How come you know Earth so well?

[oh-master]

Okay, but consider:

When Amy and Rory get stuck in New York, they try to leave at first. I mean, of course they do, they’re not idiots. If the Doctor can’t come here, why can’t they just get out of the center of the paradox? And even if he still can’t pick them up….well, no reason not to see some of the world by the slow path.

It’s just not that simple. As it turns out, the contortions of time and the way it’s adhered to them trap them physically, not just temporally. When they try to leave NYC, time goes…weird. They find themselves back where they started, or time slows to a crawl, or starts skipping and fracturing for them. They wait for trains that never arrive, or drive all day and get nowhere, or walk and find their strength sapped away. You get the picture. So…they stay. They poke their boundaries every so often, but mostly they just stay.

It’s not so bad. If you had to pick one place to be stuck in for the rest of your lives, New York City from the 1930s onward certainly won’t be boring. And River can visit, occasionally, even if the Doctor can’t. (Sometimes she leaves them gadgets to keep them equipped for any timey-wiminess that may arise, like the thing that looks like an egg timer and detects artron anergy within the city confines. They always wonder if she has a Reason for these things, but they don’t ask.)

They build their lives. Rory stays in medicine, of course, even if being a male nurse is a little more unusual in this period. Amy writes, fantasy stories about little lost girls and brave boys and strange wizards with funny blue houses.

(In her stories, children always find their way home in the end.)

After WWII they adopt a little war-orphan baby named Anthony. He, more than anything, anchors them. Life goes on. They settle, like the foundations of a house.

Until one day in the 60s when Amy (older, but not slowed down yet) bursts into the house, grabs Rory, and says “She’s going to be HERE.”

“What?” says Rory.

“1969. The Moon.” Amy waves a copy of a magazine with headlines about the space program at him. “MELODY.”

“…OH.”

The Doctor + their familial/friend groups

[oh-master]

one thing I value so, so much in doctor who are those little tiny pieces of continuity in a show that relies so much on the concept of change. obviously you’ve got the big things—a blue police box, the sonic, the theme song, the daleks—but what really gets me is seeing little things associated with a different era of the show juxtaposed against the one you’re currently watching.

thirteen putting on the fez from that package. seeing amy and rory in nine and ten’s tardis in the doctor’s wife. ten, eleven, and twelve all wearing that same orange spacesuit! the parts of each doctor’s first episode where there’s this whole new-ish person, but still running around in their old, familiar clothes all battered from what they just went through. ten continuing to use the same tardis and sonic as nine, and twelve initially doing the same with eleven. all the blink-and-you-miss-it inside jokes—thirteen’s “judoon near the… that lagoon,” twelve’s “are you my mummy?”, jack and the doctor’s “have you had work done?!” “YOU CAN TALK!”. the moments where you glimpse the impact of previous companions—twelve remembering donna in pompeii and her “just save someone”, jack bringing up rose to the fam (honestly, everything with jack), or ten’s joy at finding sarah jane in school reunion. the same exact music that first played for nine talking about the turning of the earth in rose also playing over thirteen’s first moments.

the only constant in this show is change—and that’s so valuable, that’s why it stays interesting! and sure, maybe some of it’s just fanservice, and sure, maybe some of it’s just the bbc not having a budget. but those little tiny consistent fragments really remind you that yeah, no matter how different the show gets, it’s still the same little alien flying around the same universe in their same little box. and that just warms my heart so much.

Thasmin in every episode — Doctor Who: Flux

thinking about river saying ‘you don’t expect a sunset to admire you back’ about the doctor and then having the doctor look at yaz like this

[oh-master]

“Ianto is too good for Jack” “Ianto can do better” “Ianto is out of Jack’s league” babes you’re missing the point!! maybe Ianto can do better (debatable), but he doesn’t want to!! he’s made his choice!! Ianto said i want my slutty immortal boss from the future with his 51st century pheromones and his sexy, sexy coat and no one else will do, and then he went and got him!! no sense, exemplary good taste, and zero self-preservation, what a lad!! the man exhibited legendary behaviour like that and y’all are second-guessing his choices? show some respect.
