#i love ncuti

[ghostcashewart]

it's been a while since i've done doctor who fanart but! ncuti gatwa!!

[tuttle-did-it]

“We’re trained to be like, ‘If I’m not exceptional, I won’t be loved.’ Certainly, I think that was my thing,” Gatwa shared. “So, yeah, I think I’m just learning now like, ‘Oh, you are allowed to be loved.’ You don’t have to be excellent or aspire to that term, ‘Black excellence’. What the hell?”

He continued, “There’s so much white mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that] anyway. So, I’m slowly training myself out of that and being like, ‘No shit. You deserve love just for existing.’ And that has taught me to be a lot more loving as well, in a weird way.”

DOCTOR WHO (2024)

“How many Doctors are there?”

good question… 15… but then add war and fugitive … so 17…. but what about the curator, the valeyard, the unbound doctor…. Too many is the answer. Here’s the main 17 of them:

Can I just say I love Ncuti Gatwa’s accent

it’s the way he speaks as the Doctor but also i think it might just be his proper voice.

but he sounds so fucking weird (affectionate) and i am so here for it. because he has what i personally call immigrant accent which isn’t a specific accent but it’s the way that immigrants who move to places like the US and the UK change their accents in specific ways as to not lose their original accents but to also be accepted by the society they have joined.

now we can have a whole other conversation about assimilation and respectability politics and the politics of linguistics i’m not an expert but that doesn’t stop me from having opinions. but that’s not what i’m currently talking about.

there isn’t a deeper meaning to why i love the 15th Doctor’s voice aside from that it sounds great and it gives me an extreme sense of familiarity becuase most of my family have immigrant accent that has grown and developed, impacted by every place they’ve lived. no one in my family sounds the same you can hear the depth of their lived experiences in the way their voices lilt in a completely unique way, entirely different from even the people who have known them since birth.

i think immigrant accent is one of the best additions ncuti gatwa can bring to the doctor, not just in the way it makes me feel seen but because someone who been traveling space and time and has been around for upwards of 1200 years shouldn’t have an easily placable accent. someone who has lived so much life with so many people in so many places, someone who carries their experiences with them the way the Doctor does should show how much he remembers and cares by taking on facets of how the people they love speak.

the Doctor’s accent shouldn’t be placable you should be able to make a guess of where they’re from but it should never be 100% certain because the Doctor is an immigrant from gallifrey to earth and as such they should have immigrant accent.

Well, look at this!

Fresh regeneration and feeling like a million quid. The TARDIS, my old girl, you're still a stunner. These controls are smoother than a well-timed punchline. So, here I am, cruising through the vortex, the universe at my fingertips, and I'm rocking the boxer chic. Classic. No time to fret, though... gotta keep up with the times. Who needs trousers when you've got style like this?

Time for a new era, a bit of humor, and a wardrobe malfunction that's so last season.

[delirious-comfort]

I like how one third of the fandom is like:

MRS FLOOD --> RAIN --> RANI

The next third is like:

MRS FLOOD --> POND --> RIVER SONG

and then there's there other third saying Iris Wildthyme and I had to google that shit because I don't know everything and if you're like me but want to know: click

Doctor Who: Velvet Pals @thedoctorfifteen

The TARDIS materialized with its characteristic wheezing groan, and as the doors swung open, the 15th Doctor stepped out, exuding his usual boundless energy. The lush greenery and vintage cars indicated a bygone era, and he couldn't help but smile at the familiarity of it all.

As he admired his surroundings, a distinctively dapper figure in a velvet jacket and frilly shirt emerged from a certain vintage yellow roadster, a grin spreading across his face.

15th Doctor: [Smirking] "Well, well! Look at what the 70s dragged in. Hello handsome, always a pleasure to meet one's former self."

3rd Doctor: "Oh, splendid to see you, my dear chap! Quite a snazzy outfit you've got there. Very… what's the word? Hip?"

15th Doctor: "Hip, you say? I'll take that as a compliment. And look at you, rocking the velvet and frills. Very bohemian chic."

3rd Doctor: [Proudly adjusting his jacket] "Bohemian chic? My dear fellow, this is the epitome of Time Lord elegance. Velvets and frills, timeless classics!"

15th Doctor: [Smirking] "Oh, I don't doubt it babes. You do look rather dapper, although.. retro?"

3rd Doctor: "Retro? Why, I'll have you know that this is avant-garde Time Lord fashion, my boy and it seems to me that you've taken my advice."

15th Doctor: [Chuckles] "Girl, I look so much hotter. But you know... I miss all this. Things were so much simpler."

3rd Doctor: "Good."

15th Doctor: "Good?"

3rd Doctor: [Grinning] "Well, can't let the universe get too predictable, can we?"

As they bantered, the two Doctors strolled through the vintage landscape, sharing tales of adventures and swapping witty remarks. Amidst the laughter and camaraderie, the 3rd Doctor couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pride for his future self - a glimpse into the legacy of Time Lords, each incarnation leaving its mark on the web of time.
