i think the Meddling Monk should come back to Doctor Who but they shouldn't imply the existence of any like encounters with the Doctor since Daleks' Master Plan. he should just show up like WOW that was a real dick move stealing my directional control but i finally got a new one. time for round 3 asshole.

what I really like about all these vintage couple’s portraits is that there is a very certain romatic decorum kept up – certain themes and poses – which, while of course being the mainstream preferred view of couples repeated throughout many studios, are just… so nice to look at. 

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

the kiss on the bare shoulder (eyes perfectly averted), the cheek caress, the piano and the violin, the interrupted embrace, the woman tilted back as in a half-stopped dance…

In recent years of Dr who the doctor generally doesn't use physical violence due to his moral scruples but in 60s who the doctor generally didn't use physical violence bcos he was delegating it to whichever handsome 21 year old boy he was toting around

Jo grant at companion support meetings

"And i suspose it was quite unfair of the timelords to put the doctor in the 70s of all times. And they mustve known the master would show up too. God knows theyd follow each other every where. I just think if their inital meeting was somewhere a bit less homophobic, and a bit more progressive i could sorted them out in five minutes with a marriage counselor"
