So. What you're saying is. In the first episode of the season we open with the doctor quite literally breathing life into a dead butterfly and we end the season with sutekh breathing death into everything?
Him being able to do that felt so random back then but. Now? They were really foreshadowing the whole if sutekh is death then the doctor is life thing form the beginning. RTD I am in your walls.
...
I'm gonna need to lay down for a while.

you cannot convince me that a SINGLE ONE of these npcs existed before the moment brennan said they did. those gymnist criminals are 100% dm "fuck i need a guy right now" moment. the 30 year old 80 year old doctor? improv, baby! the cuck pig, 100% new idea on the spot. and i love it.

until i recently read posts on here about how there is an inherent queerness to the doctor and rose's relationship in how it's unspoken and filled with yearning that i'd never really considered that element, despite knowing for ages that RTD is gay but. man. it's just reframed a lot of the series for me, like the idea that you have this lonely man who's just watched his people die and is self-destructive and misanthropic and traumatised and he can love again and he wants to but it has so many risks.
but especially S3 and how it adds even more weight to the doctor's grieving widower status. how he tells martha that he and rose were together but martha refers to rose as a friend to tallulah; the fact that he can only say they were together once she is gone; how the only other person that both can feel how he feels but also understands the depth of his feelings is jack, a queer man himself. and I've been thinking to myself lately oh, it's ok, the doctor and rose probably accidentally got married on at least one planet or something but also the point is that there was no official title that could convey to people the extent that they meant to each other, that the doctor can really only tell donna that rose was his friend even though it is so wholly inadequate and she comes to see that by the end of the episode (and martha too of course). how people who saw the doctor and rose together assumed they were a couple, like on krop tor, but once there's no more physical evidence of the relationship it becomes more vague (and simultaneously clearer).
anyway something about how christopher eccleston said he based his portrayal of nine on RTD and something about RTD saying that his husband is "in every good man i write now" and how the doctor and ruby seeing each other in the club mimics his first meeting with his husband aka the one moment he would use a time machine to go back to hmmm

So I saw lately someone's headcannon of Bruce having a little bit of ol' British accent because he basically grew up raised by Alfred alone so I thought it would be really funny if he just slip it randomly and it always catch people of the guard.
Batman: Just put in the bin
Hal:
Hal: I'm sorry spooky the what?
Batman: The bin
Hal:
Olive with a terrible British accent: Oi' mate he said to you to put it in a bin'
Hal: WHEEZE–
Batman: >:(
--
Batman checking chemicals by himself: Bloody hell
Superman:
Superman: I–
Batman: Not a word.
He start fighting with Clark and they just keep slipin their accents.
Batman with a strong British accent: Are you insane?
Superman: I'm tryin' to tell ya!
Batman: Absolutely not– Oi– Absolutely–
Superman: Goodness gracious you're impossible!
Batman: And you're one to talk?
--
Constantine: A man like you alone in a night like this?
Batman:
Constantine: Care for a bit of company luv?
Batman slippin in Alfred's accent again: Would you like to eh?
Constantine:
Batman:

It’s the pipeline between “What’s the point of being a doctor if I can’t save you?” “Heal yourself” to “I’m fine because you fixed yourself” for me.

I know we all laugh at Fourteen and Donna screwballing the universe and then immediately tapping out of the storyline in favor of oops-not-vegan casseroles in the backyard but
What was Fourteen up to during the Devil’s Chord? What were any of the previous Doctors up to? We saw with Mavity that they’re at least somewhat aware of changes in the time stream. Did Maestro change things so dramatically that the Doctor had never fallen in love with Earth in the first place? Or did Fourteen blink and open his eyes to find the Earth he knew, the one they’d been slowly learning to live and rest in day by day, gone? Changed irrevocably, Donna, Rose, YazRoryAmyWilfGrahamBillRoseallofthem maybe never even born? Blink again and they’re all back, unaware that it’s even happened? The panic that could have brought, as he realizes that they’ve surrendered the mantle to his new self, and trusted themselves to keep the universe spinning, but now that means he’s helpless. If their future self fucks up, they’re irrevocably screwed too. No way to find out what’s going on, nothing they can do, their entire timeline relying on a version of them they barely know.
Alternatively, Fourteen blinking, seeing London in flames, finding a nice hunk of broken concrete to sit down on, and sighing impatiently as they wait for himself to hurry up and fucking fix it so they can finish beating Rose at Uno
