#to help him through his grief because he's afraid he'll lose them like he's lost everything else. But also he cant survive on his own so

[aq2003]

i'll start drafting long posts talking about how some people overblow ten's ego/arrogance especially dw dudebros who ignore his guilt/depression/trauma and how his thinking of regeneration as death has less to do with him super really loving being Dweeb Alien David Tennant and more to do with him not wanting to move on from the deep love and grief that has defined his identity . and then i will not post these drafts because i do not want to be more annoying about ten than i already am

#like i so so deeply do not want to come off as one of those 'stop criticizing him! hes traumatized :(' ppl but also are you guys like #even considering the fact hes traumatized at all #how a full season is dedicated to how his ptsd affects him and his relationship with martha #and how him trying so hard to push his feelings down and not let himself be helped ends up deeply hurting martha too #i really do feel like people forgo this and instead subscribe to. like. #'it's like he had a bad breakup w his girlfriend and gets a new girlfriend and treats her like garbage bc he doesn't really love her' #rather than 'it's like his gf died and hometown exploded and he doesn't know if he should even have a friend and accept their attempts #to help him through his grief because he's afraid he'll lose them like he's lost everything else. But also he cant survive on his own so #he will drip feed himself human connection while not considering how unfair this is to the friend involved that he doesnt know loves him' #this isn't even touching on his suicidal tendencies in s3. like god #dr who #Uh oh i read this post and these tags over and looks like i AM being annoying about ten once again. its not my fault he's worms in my head #10 era

There are not many people they care about besides you

He can't relate in any way because he doesn't really have any family but seeing you so sad makes him feel sad too :(

If you start crying he'll make sure to pull you somewhere private like his office or something

Sniper

His parents are still alive so hearing you lost one of your family members makes him feel terrible for you

Every person he cares about is still alive but knowing that number for you is one less he feels so much sympathy for you

He doesn't really have many people that he truly cares about but you do and one of them is gone

He'll stay by your side more than often for the next 2 weeks so you can have someone to comfort you

He's one of the best at whispering little words of comfort when you need them
