being an eighth doctor adventures fan is so hard. how do i explain to people that i want them to read an unfinished postmodernist series of 73 pulp science fiction novels from the early 2000s that's made up of a bunch of writers arguing about how to best fundamentally deconstruct dr who as a concept

It's so silly that the Doctor Who expanded universe will have novels and audio dramas that are famous and beloved in the small fandom they belong to—there'll be stories that are held up as defining works in the franchise and some of the best Doctor Who full stop—most everyone who's dipped their toes into the Who EU will have read, listened, or heard of these stories—and two decades after they're released, their Tardis Wiki entry will be like 'plot: to be added'. What are we doing here gang. Group huddle group huddle. Who was in charge of the plot summaries

r/doctorwho: [image of random fucking statue in a cemetery] omgee it’s a weeping angel! why did uou post that you’ve doomed us all
r/gallifrey: does the doctor as a legendary folk hero figure correspond more to the attributes of loki or odin as they are portrayed in norse mythology? discuss

okay no i’m not done talking about this (queer doctor who). the first companion from the edas series was canonically bisexual. hinted at as early as the second book and she had a girlfriend in a later one. these are actual doctor who stories with explicitly queer companions and characters in the late 90s. the second companion of the series is also bisexual. he’s in love with eight and says thinks like “I was engineered to love you, but with the doctor it’s the real thing,” and fantasizes about sleeping with the doctor, and muses that everyone must be in love with the doctor. the very next companion is aroace. eight is the first doctor to have his gender discussed in any meaningful way, and it’s all to highlight how genderqueer he is. this is one book series. the expanded universe is full of this shit!! this was thoughtful and deliberate queer representation in the fuckin 90s! and people are still eating up clara’s “is she/isn’t she?” bisexuality. we have gotten better in the past and we deserve better now.
