When the sand started spreading across the entire globe we all *knew* the doctor was gonna figure out a way to bring everyone back. But can you imagine if a season finale big bad killed every single person on earth and then the doctor *couldn't* save the world? At this point it would be so funny, I'd love it. It would force the show to drastically change, at least until another showrunner brought the earth back. The Doctor would either have to only visit earth in the past prior to the destruction, or would have to have alien companions for once instead. I'd watch the hell out of that

15 starts out acting like he's solved all his problems and says this whole thing to 14 about not running away anymore and then what does he try to do? fly away in the tardis without even saying goodbye 🤨 bigeneration cannot POSSIBLY come with free instantaneous therapy don't let the doctor lie to you

I'm overhearing some middle aged person in a coffee shop talking about the latest doctor who episode, and saying exactly the same thing we've all been saying 😭 they brought it up and I was like "oh here we go" and then they were like "I wish they hadn't said that stuff about the doctor not being able to understand due to being male presenting, that just reinforces the binary theyre trying to break out of" and "I wish Rose hadn't called out the doctor for assuming the meep's pronouns, the doctor should've just asked for the meep's pronouns without needing to be prompted to" and "I really agree with what they're trying to do, I just wish they'd handled it better" and then after complaining about it all they were like "idk... maybe some people do need to be hit upside the head with it". Like. I know this is just one stranger but it feels so heartening. They didn't see One (1) heavy handed episode and decide to be mad about the trans representation. Like maybe things really will be alright

Choosing to go by a title instead of by a specific name makes so much sense for a timelord, honestly. I know there are timelords out there who don't go by a title, but still! I can so easily imagine names being something that feel different to each regeneration, each one feeling discontent with previous names they've gone by and wanting to pick out their own. And when you regenerate more than a handful of times, having different faces *and* different names can get impractical quickly. But if you go by a title, that title can be the connecting thread, so that people know you're mostly the same person as before, no matter how many regenerations ago they last saw you

Thinking about that post that said "why not make David Tennant the master next, he can just say he picked it because the doctor seems to like that face so much." And honestly why stop there. The master could borrow any of the doctor's faces. I know he technically did with 13 but I'm talking regenerating into a doctor's face and then interacting with the doctor while like that. Get the 8th doctor's face in there. An old companion's face. Itd be so much fun

I'm literally aro i don't even care about shipping i just think their chemistry as friends goes so hard

I've gotta hand it to rtd, his season finales always land for me

I'm finally watching The Green Death (the last 3rd doctor story) and man... I wish 15 was still standoffish with UNIT. That was a way more fun dynamic

Honestly? When I watched the latest episode, I noticed the fact that everyone was white pretty early on, but my first thought wasn't that it was a deliberate part of the narrative. My first thought was "hmm you'd think they'd be better about this by now but I guess not"

One of these days I need to write a fic about the 14th doctor having a breathtakingly terrible time at Donna's house. All the domesticity is a constant reminder of the things he ran away from and the family he could never fit in enough to have in gallifrey. Every moment of peace feels suspicious and unfamiliar because he's spent so long throwing himself into danger that he doesn't know how to relax anymore. And on top of all that is the crushing guilt: guilt about how boring it all is half the time, and guilt about feeling like he's "wasting" the tardis by not endlessly searching for people to save and cosmic-scale things to help out with. Long ago, the loneliest he ever felt was when he was surrounded by gallifreyans who fundamentally did not understand him. And now, the loneliest he's ever felt is while he's surrounded by human beings who care so much about him and he cares so much for them, and yet despite that, being around them in their day to day lives for too long still feels terrifyingly lonely. And he hates himself for it, but in the end he runs away in the tardis, like he always has, without so much as leaving behind a note.

Must a doctor who episode be "good"? Is it not enough for an episode to have my good friend The Doctor in it?

[hubrishazard]

Found posts from the oldest blog I have that I didn't delete, and there's one from as far back as 2015 saying "I thought I'd hate the husbands of river song but I liked it! It made me laugh!" and then a bit later, stuff like "moffat only has 12 episodes left to disappoint me with yay <3" and then later "actually Bill is my favorite companion of them all"

I listened to one of the 8th doctor audio dramas for the first time during work yesterday, one called 'Storm Warning.' I liked it, felt pretty similar to the vibe of a standard doctor who episode. I'm not sure which 8th doctor audio drama to listen to next, though. Wanna make sure I listen in chronological order

(Cant watch the episode yet voice) I must not go on tumblr. tumblr is the mindkiller. tumblr will show me spoilers. I must not let myself be shown the spoilers

Me 1 week ago before the seasonal depression: I hope tennant gets a less tragic regeneration this time :) it would be so wonderful if he got to be surrounded by loved ones this time and be comforted through it no matter how scary it may or may not feel

Me now: I hope it's. worse

The fact that new david tennant doctor who content comes out this month is the one thing keeping me going. Oh tenthree we're really in it now
