I really like how Danny Pink just straight up dislikes The Doctor and he never changes his mind and he's never framed as the bad guy for thinking this. It's just a fairly reasonable opinion he's entitled to, even if most of the audience disagrees.

The thing is Clara Oswald was always insane. But she is an insane woman who also happens to be a control freak. So she controls herself very very tightly.

When she first met the doctor, she ask him to come back and ask her tomorrow. This is not because she doesn't want to travel with him let's be real, we are talking a bout a woman whose most important possession is a travel book. She WANTS this. She wants this so bad she is afraid she has to test herself by first refusing. Test that she is still in control. So she asks the doctor to come back tomorrow.

This denying of herself to prove that she is still in control is imo what her story with Danny is. She wants the doctor. She wants the adventure, the travelling, all of time and space and the excitement of it all. She is also in love with the doctor, so much it scares her. So she put boundaries: the doctor is a hobby, she only does it on specific days. She is not in Love with him : here is the proof, she will date someone else. She chose Danny and that's why she stick to her plan even when their first date sucks ass, even when their relationship is rocky. If it feels forced it's because it is, she is forcing herself to be normal. "life would be so much easier if we fell in love with the right person, but then there'd be no fairy tales" Danny IS the right person, he is even cosmically mandated because she saw their descendant, but he is not the one Clara loves, because they are in a fairy tale.

When Danny dies it's her control slipping, she is now fully embracing her addiction to an unhealthy degree that yeah, might be fueled by her grief, but I think was always there, under the surface, tightly controlled by the control freak.

I love the look of "since when?" the doctor gives clara at this because Adrian is meant to directly mirror the 11th doctor who clara very obviously loved

like:

Series 8 of doctor who is legit the most funny shit ever. Like, Clara is treating both a time lord and a solider like you treat the side piece. Missy is out here trying to plan the most elaborate "get your man back scheme" that verges into "planning a threesome". That Time Lord is acting like a jealous 17 year old who's listened to too Much Carrie Underwood and caught her bf making out with a teacher. And Danny just wants to date the pretty English teacher...

Polyamory would have made shit worse and better.

After watching nearly the entirety of Doctor Who in the past two and a half months, I've noticed some archetypes for companions:

Hyper-competent, and extremely intelligent young woman who the Doctor treats as a daughter

Disaster bisexual who the Doctor treats as a daughter

Companion romantic interest who the Doctor treats like crap, including calling them the wrong name and talking down to them

Someone the Doctor considers "primitive" and incompetent, though they are far more competent than they appear despite being prone to violence

Listen is so great you don't understand. It's an episode about mental illness. And some people point out that some of the things that happen (the kid under the blanket, the airlock mechanism triggering) are on the surface unlikely, but that's the exact point. The Doctor is not an objective narrator, I mean this is the episode that starts with him sitting on top of the TARDIS in space speechifying, we see it in the way he frames it, so we see these ordinary things (a mischievous child, a dead ship breaking down) in the uncanny way he sees them—

—and because he is the Doctor, because he is the person who bad guys pause their plans to listen when he talks, because he is charismatic and impressive and the Oncoming Storm—

—because he's the Doctor, Clara (and baby Danny and Orson) start to believe him, until they arrive on Gallifrey, until Clara sees the root of his trauma, and she understands.

And it doesn't matter if this creature is a delusion or not, it only matters that it scares him, because fear is a superpower, and the way he responds to the reality he experiences is why he's the Doctor.

What. an. icon.

#psychotic experiences cause real trauma! and this is generally minimized which leads to more trauma which is why this is so GOOD #twelfth doctor #12th doctor #doctor who #moffat thought he'd write an episode about how this alien legend experiences a psychotic episode and some people dont appreciate his genius #luckily many people DO appreciate listen. it's a great episode!!! #clara oswald #danny pink #words by seaweed #(eleventh) doctor is neurodivergent tag #I know I know. me naming my tag like that when it's a moffat doctors thing mainly. my eleven focus is showing but i LOVE twelve #I love that even as twelve starts to get more mentally healthy post hell bent he keeps speechifying alone. LOVE that for him #is he practicing his university lectures? or is he still speechifying to the listen creatures? the answer's gotta be both.

i HAATTTEEEE how the doctor who fandom treats danny pink. your boyfriend caring about your safety is abusive? asking for honesty is not abuse. and how can you claim to hate him because he's a soldier?! lmao? but you love the doctor?! the man who was so ashamed of his actions in the war that he hid his incarnation from himself?

danny vs 12 is actually some really good and meaty story that goes over everyone's head because 'HoW DaRE hE iNSuLt HiM'. that scene when he salutes and asks for orders is genius. because danny can SMELL the soldier on him. because he is one. danny can admit he was a solider. but the doctor cannot.

imagine hating danny for being a soldier but stanning the man who did a genocide. not even that, the man who has barked orders at companions in the past. the man who drove a woman to suicide?

the doctor is not a saint, and he hated danny because he was projecting. come on.

[tilting-at-windmills]

is there an answer?

This Doctor Who weirdness has bothered me for years so I'm just going to see if I can crowdsource an answer.

Danny Pink died. He chose to save a child and did not come back to life.

Clara met people in the future who look like his twin, who carry his toy soldier.

Did she go back and save him with Me? Was this just a mistake? Other theories?

Some Doctor Who thoughts...

The Curse of the Black Spot (6x03): a pirate's story with a sci-fi twist, that's ultimately about Amy and Rory's love and the bond between a father and his son.

The Caretaker (8x06): a goofy classic sci-fi monster of the week, that's ultimately about the Doctor and Clara's friendship, honesty and both Clara and the Doctor's fear of being alone and misunderstood.

Midnight (4x10): a sci-fi horror story about a mimicking monster, that's ultimately about humanity's nature and the instinct of the mass to turn to violence when faced with something different they don't understand.

In The Forest of The Night (8x10): a sci-fi monster of the week story, that ultimately doesn't have any monster, but showcases the beauty of Earth, the symbiotic relationship of every living thing on the planet and why we should listen to children and trees alike.

Hide (7x09): a ghost story with a sci-fi twist, that's actually a love story across time and space and death and universes.

The Wedding of River Song (6x13): on appearance, a sci-fi story about alternate timelines, ultimately, a story about love, trust and family.

Watching all six in the same evening does something to the head. Not sure what yet. Behind the time travel and the aliens and the running and the wibbly-wobbly technical and scientific terms, it's all about love and why choosing kindness and honesty above fear and hatred is always worth it.

the two main strands of Listen being the new beginnings of Clara's relationship with Danny and the Doctor's fear of the dark/the unknown/loneliness.. something about being afraid of reaching out and finding no one vs the fear that comes with reaching and realising there really is something(someone) to hold on to out there in the dark.

Ianto Jones and Danny Pink

Loving to draw parallels between TW and DW characters, I am amused it took me so long to draw one between Ianto Jones and Danny Pink. I might not know all about Danny, since I haven’t ever listened to DW audios and am not that deep in the fandom as in the TW one, but from what we see in the tv-episodes (and it’s a shame we don’t get enough with Danny) I think he and Ianto are alike in many ways.

For both Ianto and Danny, saving their loved ones is a priority over saving the world. They treat love with an almost soldier-like mentality - protection and loyalty first. Both Ianto and Danny died twice. Both have died the second time protecting their partners and one could say that saving the world was a nice bonus to that. Danny: “I didn’t die saving the world, Doctor. I died saving Clara. The rest of you just got lucky.” Ianto does not explicitly say it, but his actions in the House of the Dead all but scream it.

For both Ianto and Danny, the one thing that could have swayed their focus from ensuring the happiness of their loved ones was saving the lives of innocent children

Ianto and Danny are some of the few who are not really impressed with the Doctor but tolerate him for their partners’ sakes (honestly, if they ever met, they would absolutely bond over this particular one).

Last but not least - their fondness for pink shirts

P. S. Their lovers are *kinda* immortal

the main mistake that people who dislike s8 and put it low in their series rankings make is the belief that, like any other series (apart from s9), it’s a collection of standalone stories tied together by some vague throughline i.e. missy’s ‘heaven’. “oh, this episode’s mid, that episode’s bad” meanwhile it’s not about individual episodes at all. i firmly believe that it should be viewed as a singular long serial.

so grateful that i was extremely late to the party and binged it all in a week instead of watching every episode as they were airing, because sometimes the plots barely matter at all. do you remember what the skovox blitzer actually looks like or what it wanted with coal hill in the first place? hardly. i had to google its name. but what you do remember from the caretaker is twelve acting like an antagonistic prick towards danny, and that’s what matters. almost every villainous entity is some kind of soldier, the contempt twelve shows to everybody but clara becomes the source of their toxicity… in the forest of the night is pretty obviously rubbish scifi, but it demonstrates danny’s fundamental incompatibility with clara, as well as the scene in which clara is ready to sacrifice herself and her students for the doctor’s sake, foreshadowing their reckless, almost suicidal codependency.

point is, but it really does work best as a tightly woven tapestry. sure, some episodes succeed individually, but most of the individual plots are mildly exciting only in a ‘this is fun to watch for kids’ way… UNLESS you approach them from the overarching perspective. i.e. mummy on the orient express has wonderful style, a thrilling mystery, creative concepts and interesting side characters, but its story appeal hinges on the twelveclara failed breakup. listen is frightening enough, but its entire story appeal hinges on just how much clara affects the doctor’s values past and present, and whether or not she has a future with danny (she doesn’t).

what i’m saying is, the narrative in s8 is a non-negotiable package deal. buy one, get them all. and it has no skips. i hate the idiotic pro-life message in kill the moon as much as the next sensible person, but what the episode does well is really hammer home how much of a sanctimonious asshole twelve initially is, which is crucial to his future character evolution.

tldr; the correct way to watch series 8 is all in one go. series 8 is great. more love for series 8

“Do you really think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?”

Well, now I feel like a real tumblr ™️ user.

It has been almost nearly ten years that I first started watching, “Doctor Who.” I started watching because of the otherworldly hype surrounding the 50th anniversary special, “The Day of the Doctor.” And now, ten years later, in the year 2023– we are nearing the 60th anniversary special. Time. It’s a crazy thing, huh?

And I caught up to the 50th anniversary special pretty quickly actually. And as I caught up though, I noticed something… friends of mine who’d gotten ms into the show, whether they were my friends at school or online friends, were dropping the show. Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor was due to regenerate, and my friends were used to the last two iterations of The Doctor being eccentric, young, hot guys. They weren’t used to The Doctor being an eccentric, bitter old man. And so many of my friends, never gave a Twelve a chance. I dropped the show for reasons out of my control around the same time. Netflix had removed, “Doctor Who,” in the US shortly after Capaldi’s first season came to the platform. I probably saw two episodes of series 8, and I never finished it.

Until yesterday. And boy… TWELVE IS AMAZING. CAPALDI IS AMAZING. “Shut up!” I love him. I think he’s fantastic. It was my first time coming back to the show in nine years, and I never once didn’t recognize my friend, “The Doctor.” Series 8 felt like a warm hug after being away for so long. And don’t get me started on Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald because she is SOMETHING ELSE. She’s incredible.

This show is so special to me. This character, these characters, are so dear to me— the TARDIS feels like home, and I feel terrible for being away from it for so long.

If you’re one of those people who dropped the show when Matt Smith left, who didn’t give Capaldi a chance? Please, give him that chance.
