i'm gonna start replying to people who say 11 is their favorite doctor with "oh the writing wasn't very good but matt smith did the best he could in the role" because i am tired of pretending i liked almost any of his seasons

it's what i have to hear about 13 all the time and i'm sick to the gills of it. sick of it i say!

#it is so difficult participating in broader fandom when everyone takes every opportunity to shit on her seasons #like christ it is so normalized to completely denegrate her entire run #i've had people say this shit to me and then turn around and admit they never watched all of it #like lskjdfla;kshtgal;ksjdfal;skjdfas #it makes me wanna bite and tear like a wild animal #and it's so performative!!! like they gotta say her writing was bad but jodie did a good job and that's the discussion #half the time no one can really point to why the writing didn't resonate with them #and the other half is timeless child hate which ok fine that's your opinion but also it really only defines the latter half of her arc?#most of season 12 is pointing to the timeless child reveal yes but there are several general adventure episodes #i'm just so tired of having to constantly defend 13 #this is gods hardest battle and i'm his weakest soldier fr #like why is it when i say 13 is my favorite doctor we have to shit on all of her seasons but when someone else say 10 or 11 #i have to be the polite one and nod along like yes completely perfect choices no flaws whatsoever in those runs #just ONCE i want an 'oh fair enough' and move on in discussion
