People keep saying that the TARDIS shouldn’t have malfunctioned just from a cup of coffee but I have two theories
• The TARDIS heard that her darling newly regenerated little time Lord wasn’t going to get a cool adventure with his bestie and engineered an excuse so that he could
• The TARDIS having newly refurbished herself had coffee thrown at her nice new circuits and decided to throw a bitch fit
Look the TARDIS is the longest running female character in doctor who, has proven to be sentient, and regularly takes the Doctor to places she thinks he’d like without warning. It had to be her right?
there's something so intensely lovely about the TARDIS whoosh whoosh being the same. you're watching doctor who in 1971? it whoosh whoosh. jump forward to 2005 and guess what? it's the same whoosh whoosh. the doctor's face may change, the budget may grow, the theme may be updated, but the whoosh whoosh of the tardis remains
I just love this shot so much. It’s so intimate. The TARDIS really is a character on this show, who has her own behaviours and quirks and personality. And this is a scene between two characters who know and love each other in a way that’s just… slightly inhuman, but still so pure and obvious to any one watching.
A woman asking for forgiveness, a box saying “no need. I love you. Welcome home”, and not a single other thing in frame.
The TARDIS as a machine is great, but as a character is beautiful. “The Doctor’s Wife” is a great episode, but this gif is a perfect demonstration that you don’t need an actor to show her character and personality.
Guys, can we give some recognition to the TARDIS? She heard the Doctor's speech about being the bad luck and all the self hatred he was falling into and she just refused him to let him go alone. She opened the door for Ruby. Because let's be honest, the Doctor could have been gone in ten seconds flat, and he was probably waiting for Ruby to come back, because if the Doctor is something it is hopeful, but he did not open that door himself. Was he praying for Ruby to follow him? Yeah, for sure. But the invitation to come in, the act of pulling the door open, I'm 100% convinced it was the TARDIS. She saw that he was feeling lonely again and she took matters in her own hands and opened the doors for a new person, literally. Ruby is approved by the TARDIS. I just find that so amazing. The TARDIS being sentient is one of my favourite parts of Doctor Who and I think that her relationship with the Doctor is super important, so the act of opening up her doors for another person, because she knows that Ruby will help him and keep him company means everything to me.
Imagine being Ncuti Gatwa, his first episode on doctor who he was literally in it for max 15 mins, had a whole montage playing catch with david tennant,became the most emotionally built person, could see through fourteen's bullshit, had many witty comebacks and got to hug david Tennant all while not wearing any trousers. 15 mins on screen and he is already a doctor who icon
