#doctor who season twelve

[how-masterful]

I dont want the audios to give dhawan master a companion. From now on i'm only going to be accepting of the characterisation he had in the master and margarita novella- where he hypnotises people and lies to make them think hes a hero because he craves validation and the only person he likes is his old woman neighbor who cooks him food, stalks his apartment and owns a parrot,,, and he manages to drive the lizard girl he planned to take over the world with so fucking insane by pretending to be a communist, playing the guitar and moaning about his feelings that she joins an aliens plot to kill him by force feeding him hallucinogenic alien mushrooms,,, and in the end he shrinks them both and blows up his apartment but doesn't hesitate one moment to take the old womans parrot with him.

Either that or him spending 6 hours harassing Jo Grant and crying about how he misses 3. Which it's shown he does... In the novella.

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

It won't stop, the repair kit I put inside Ashildr, not ever. It'll just keep fixing her. Well, good. I'm not sure, but it's entirely possible she has lost the ability to die.

If Twelve has a million fans, I'm one of them. If Twelve has 5 fans I'm one of them. If Twelve has one fan, that one is me. If Twelve has no fans, I'm no longer alive. If the world is against Twelve I'm against the entire world--

“least favorite” isn’t anywhere close to bad. it just shows how damn hard the competition is going, but we’re talking about gold medals all around for each actor i’ve seen portray the doctor so far.

getting intense twelve-era episode vibes. we have an unpleasant obvious foil to the doctor (the half-faced man from deep breath; ‘josiah smith’) we have a theme of tension between science and religion (robot of sherwood; evolution and horror) we have manipulation of the companion’s past and ‘facing fears’ (the entire premise of listen; ace’s traumatic childhood memory of gabriel chase) it’s so very series 8. i once read that season 26 of classic feels spiritually more like ‘series -1’ of nu and this is really proving that point. so many themes going on. class and gender and race and colonialism and darwinism and christianity and ableism and victorian social mores and uncomfortable history and the monster in the attic. gothic science fiction in the jekyll and hyde vein. they’ve got it all

I made a post about this the first time I rewatched Eleven's run but it must be said again: I love his dichotomy between "fun-loving and joyful" and "angry and borderline jaded" so much. He's talented and good at putting up a front but it all crumbles away the second there's slightly too much pressure, because suddenly he's not young and easy-going at all but ancient and tired and it's taking everything in him to not let the grief he carries weigh him down or push away the people who've come to care for him, not knowing that if he did give in to it, they would absolutely love him anyway.

"He's just a silly little guy" But more importantly he's aged and tired and constantly fighting to maintain the balance between his wonder and joy for the universe and his frustrations and anger with it, and he doesn't always do that well.

I love how outwardly sweet and fun he is, but there's something about those moments when the mask slips and we're reminded that he's seen things that he never should've seen and made decisions that were too much for one person to ever make. And then for a second we see just how much weight he's actually carrying around with him and yeah, it makes sense why he'd rather not show that part of himself.
