one thing i am finding so interesting about eight is that his desire not to alienate people by being deceitful and manipulative like seven means that in order to keep them around and not end up so lonely again he lies to them constantly and is in fact deceitful and manipulative

#dw #idk i get this is the feeling this is an unpopular interpretation #but i think not telling charley she technically died and ending the chimes of midnight refusing to talk about it #is like. not good behaviour #this isn’t critical by the way #i think he’s great and this is very fun #but it’s like he’s very invested in being this fun silly goofy guy who just loves humans and is a great best friend #who goes on loads of adventures and sees the world!#and this is all ultimately quite morally neutral thus far #he’s nonviolent as much as he can be he doesn’t like punching people he doesn’t enjoy guns #but he also doesn’t have the whole ‘i am the world’s BEST guy’ thing #it’s more about who he is just as a guy to know #but like he’s still the doctor. he’ll outlive charley regardless. and every other companion he could ever have #it’s like this fairytale desire to hide from that. it’s so crunchy
