I once tried to make a list of every single major injury the Doctor had ever gotten in every story I've watched/listened to/read, and I was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of shit this wet paper bag of a Time Lord went through.
Like guys I tried so hard, and the list got so long! But damn it, the amount of injuries/illnesses/possessions/etc this guy has gone through is too immense.
Like he got possessed? Again? By whom?
He's been infected with some sort of pathogen? Which one?
He's been tied up again? Regular manacles or in strappado?
He's been shot? Normal gun or time reaver or whatever horrible thing you can think of?
Stabbed? How many times this time?
He lost a limb? Which one? Was it his legs again this time? Or another hand?
Is one of his hearts poisoning him?
Has he been drugged and abducted again?
How many times have they been burned for witchcraft?
How many times have they been put on the rack?
Was he put through so much pain that he fell unconscious again?
Don't even talk about that one time he got beheaded; that audio sucked ass.
Did his brain get fried by an electromagnetic pulse?
Was he exposed to the full rays of the sun without SPF?
Has he been stuck in a time bubble for so long that he's forgotten who he is?
Does he have nerve damage again?
Did they have a heart attack?
Did they experience regenerative collapse?
Is he suffering through his symbiotic link to a a weak and dead TARDIS?
Was he stuck in his TARDIS for 10 years after being irradiated, unable to get to the console and about to regenerate?
I need to just end this post here, or I'll be adding things to the list for hours.
it always brings a smile to my face, remembering the first ever title drop on doctor who. it became a tradition for our titular character to introduce himself as the doctor and then have someone else understandably ask “¿doctor who?”. but no, the first time was susan mentioning that he was a doctor before anyone ever met him. then, since susan is his granddaughter and her last name is foreman, ian called him “doctor foreman”, leading this centuries-old mf who apparently doesn’t understand human naming conventions for a society he’s been presumably hiding out in for months to be the first ever character on the show to say the words out loud: doctor who
Some crossovers I thought would be fun and the first doctor and his granddaughter Susan! I've been watching some Classic Who and I cried at her departure :'o)
donna as the first doctor's companion: like barbara but willing to say fuck. will push back against this old man's bullshit, but will also join him on the most ridiculous shenanigans
donna with two: watch out universe the clown squad's coming at you and they're sillier than ever
donna with three: shouting matches every five minutes. if he even tries to boss her around he gets an earful and a half. the brigadier is in love
donna with four: they hate each other so much. they would die for each other.
donna with five: she bullies this pathetic man so so much, and probably ends up having a one-night stand with tegan
donna with six: they kill each other, there is no other outcome
donna with seven: spends her whole time trying to get him to stop being mysterious for like five fucking seconds
donna with eight: the most tragic and horrific bullshit you have ever seen
donna with nine: ride or die. nine needs an unhinged bossy lady who is willing to match him on his level.
donna with eleven: that is not a time lord, that is a baby, and donna will walk all over him
donna with twelve: once again, they hate each other so so much, but will not let anyone else insult the other
donna with thirteen: unstoppable force meets other unstoppable force. they fall in love
