Chris Eccleston and Camille Codouri’s chemistry was everything. Don’t get me wrong, David Tennant’s chemistry with Jackie was also everything. But they’re two very different kinds of everything.

Ten was Jackie’s horrible spoilt son-in-law with an attitude problem. He would turn up at her house with zero notice and whinge about wanting to leave immediately and still stuff his face with her shepherd’s pie. And she would complain about him eating her out of house and home, “why don’t you ever call”, “what do I look like a laundry service”, and she’d still show off photos of him to neighbours on the estate like “check out Rose’s new man. Not much in his head but look at that smile!”

Nine and Jackie were two girls outside a club at 3am, five seconds and one bitch-slap away from fighting each other to death in the gutter

Twelfth doctor era of doctor who was incredible because it was basically just:

Clara: I can fix him (makes him worse)

Missy: I can make him worse (accidentally fixes him)

Bill: Well, I'm a lesbian and I'm going to be his friend :)

WHO SUFFERED MORE

Doctor who morality is so funny because he’ll be like noooo I’d never shoot someone!! not even in self defense!! guns are so bad! but then he’ll trap someone in a mirror for eternity or make them stand watch as a scarecrow forever. Hey king we gotta get you some decarceral literature you’re doing torture on a scale so much worse than guns

my live reaction to this episode

[k9-6moy]

"13s era was too PC" "chibs made doctor who too political" now shut the fuck up and watch Donna noble threaten transphobes

Yes I’m tumblr posting about Doctor Who in 2023

[k9-6moy]

I recently read two short stories about the 13th doctor, one by Moffat and the other by chibnall and its amazing hoe much you can feel who wrote each one

Chibnalss was just so classic 13, I felt like I could vividly hear every line in her voice. It had that sort of boisterous and bright feel that so much of 13s era had

And then with moffat, there was more references and callbacks to his era. Its has a sort of quieter feeling to it, a little bit darker. And i can feel a tinge of 11 and 12 in his characterisation of 13 which I honestly love. After all, they are all the same person

Overall, I loved both of them, i didn't know they existed before and it was an interesting experience to read them back to back

Me, after this episode:

[k9-6moy]

Maybe it’s for the best that Donna and Twelve never met because I’m pretty sure their interactions would’ve resulted in a chaotic dumbass energy echo chamber where they’d be like “oh yeah let’s go steal an EXTEMELY cursed object from a well-gaurded museum while inexplicably dressed like cowboys that just so happen to have incredibly loud spurs on their boots” without pausing for even a moment to think of how that might, in fact, be a bad idea and they should at least change shoes first

Torchwood is the reason the ship in the christmas invasion was destroyed, because they were the only ones on earth possessing the technology to blow up the ship, the ship ten decided to depose harriet jones for destroying (via weaponised misogyny, ew), which is how the master manages to gain a foothold in Britain and cause such horror and devastation, but it turns out Torchwood is created literally because Ten and Rose weren’t taking a werewolf running around seriously and thought it was fun and a time to be all couple-y, and they disgusted queen victoria so much from their obvious joy at something that’d killed a bunch of people and was so unnatural, that she formed the torchwood institute to respond to the supernatural and alien in direct response to their actions 

And he’ll Never know it was him and rose being too busy flirting that caused it all. 

This is the type of thing that would be narratively satisfying except the doctor will never know, so it’s not. But Ten’s poor behaviour is literally the cause of Torchwood and all horrors that follow in Their wake.

Thirteen: Don’t use guns.

Also Thirteen:

Bless her, love that she’s a hypocrite.

She’s running with her Fam behind her who are carrying their guns like trained soldiers ready to shoot the Cybermen while she keeps her hands clean.

I know people say this is an inconsistency, but it isn’t because the Doctor has and will always be a hypocrite. They blew up the Cyberman ship, killing them all, and then in Revolution, she told Jack to go and blow up the Daleks and allowed Graham and Ryan to join him. It was and is the only choice there was to make. Still, it is interesting how she laid down the rules in Ranskoor Av Kolos but then threw the rule book into a supernova the moment enemies that are actually dangerous to her showed up.

Tzim-Sha was nothing compared to Cybermen and Daleks. She knows that in regards to the latter, you can’t be a pacifist no matter how much you wish to be because they are dangerous, old Timmy was a plaything for the Doctor. Easy, but the Master, the Cybermen, and the Dalek have a long history with the Doctor, and they have been running into each other for centuries.

And if you take Resolution into account, she asked the Fam if she could destroy the lone Dalek. They nodded, which is interesting because a few weeks before that she got into Graham’s face about his wish to kill Tzim-Sha. Then praised him for doing something much crueller, ah, Doctor, I love you. 

Keep your hands clean unless there is no other choice is the message I am getting here.

Also, those episode mentioned above weren’t the only times they’ve carried guns and explosives.

People who say that Thirteen is just sunshine and rainbows have not taken the time to actually observe her past the facade that she shows. They buy right into it, which is what she wants people to believe about her, but underneath all of that is a tired, angry person, and that is a dangerous combo.

Graham: I’m tellin’ ya, Doc, this is legal.

Thirteen: People frowned when I did it before.

Graham, waving his hand through the air as he leads her to the cash point at Tesco: The law changed, you know.

Thirteen, eyes narrowed: Are you sure?

Graham: Totally, sure, now- (He claps his hands together) -why don’t you use your sonic on the cash point to get me a few quid.

Thirteen: I’m not sure, Graham.

Graham: I’ll buy you some custard creams.

Thirteen, shoving Graham aside in a flash: Move out of the way.
