#thank you doctor who

[thedoctorsunderwear]

Bringing back this blog to talk doctor who.

For all of my life, you’ve been there, Chris, David, Matt, Peter, Jodie. And honestly, my life wouldn’t be as good without you. Billie, Freema, Catherine, Karen, Arthur, Jenna, Pearl, Tosin, Bradley, Mandip, John, the Companions that made me strive for a better more adventurous life. The Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, even the Abzorbaloff, somehow scaring me, even though you had like £5 of budget. The spin off shows, you may not have always been the best, but I love you all. To all the cast members we’ve sadly lost, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.

That first trailer from 2005 was right.

It hasn’t been quiet, it hasn’t been safe, and it hasn’t been calm. But it has been the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you Doctor who. May you live for another 60 years.

And to you, Doctor who fans across the world. Thank you for making me feel welcome. The best fandom in the world.

Ok but can we please talk about how groundbreaking it is for THE 60th anniversary episode to be SO trans positive- like yes, it was a little heavy-handed in places in the way that cis writers write trans dialogue and think about gender, but in considering how the climate is *especially* in the uk rn, for Doctor Who to go, no actually- trans rights, acceptance and love/support?? To normalise trans people as normal people and that a trans woman is INTEGRAL and FOREFRONT to the narrative and saves the day on prime time television on the longest running drama AND highly awaited episode?? It's massive.

The genus Silurian ("Person of the Silures", in reference to the historical territory of Wales in which they were first found) was initially known only from a single fossil, notable in part for the unusual object fossilized alongside it (1). Though this was generally accepted to simply be a large petrified stick, the "Silurian Artifact" was often a point of discussion in the topic of dinosaur intelligence and the theory of pre-human civilizations. It wasn't until large-scale mining operations began to impede on their extensive networks of stasis chambers that the Silurians themselves finally woke up and were able to meet humankind in person. To the surprise of many (and dismay of a few) the Silurians were not the scaled, humanoid "dinosauroids" so often depicted, but colorful, feathered, and relatively goose-shaped. Most Silurians who were present in the planet's underground represent the gentry and high ranking military, who were given priority in the earth-based shelters. Most others were evacuated on large, extensive spaceships, all of which are yet to return to Earth. Due to this, the varied mindsets and cultures of the Silurians are in shambles at best, largely replaced by the speciesism and real estate concerns of the upper classes. (1) Much later, the original type fossil was identified as Rohlik, a student who fell to his death after attempting to drunkenly pole vault over a ravine with a large petrified stick.

I know that donna was like “haha yeah doctor you’ve always been kinda gay” but it’s better 2 me if the doctor actually meant “oh I say that shit out loud now” the same way he said that about verbalizing his feelings/saying “love”. bc do I think the doctor was completely unaware of any and all attraction they’ve ever had to men? nah not at all. do I think the doctor has ever seen an attractive person and immediately gone “yeah. smash.” out loud? no sir

Ruby’s band in the new dw special just casually having a Transfemme lead singer just mmmm….

Yes!

Like sure she’s only a bit part and that kinda sucks but the fact she’s just there casually because RTD has the balls to depict a world where trans people can just exist casually, just…

Yes, yes, yes. More please. It means so much to just SEE people like myself on my favourite show you have no idea. I hope she becomes a regular supporting character.

"oooh doctor who is finally campy and fun again!" tell me you didn't watch 13s era without telling me you didn't watch 13s era, there was a sentient frog, a man birthing a child and calling it avocado, a snarky doctor who keeps forgetting she's not a man, and the master dancing to bony m dressed as rasputin. I cannot wait for the day this era is properly appreciated the way it should have been in the first place
