So I just rewatched Journey's End and all the previous times I'd watched it I had been so caught up in my OTP finally sailing FINALLY that I forget that that Time Lord Doctor (not to be confused with human Doctor TenToo) is having to lose his Rose AGAIN that for him it's Doomsday all over again same beach and everything. And not only has he just had to watch the love of his life leap into the arms of another man who he pushed her towards but he's already preparing for losing his best friend. I feel it's so easy to overlook just how sad Journey's End is. Because its the big victory where everything goes "right" for all of the Doctor's companions (even Donna that's her great tragedy is it's all perfectly normal as far as she knows she doesn't know what she lost so she can't be sad about it) but the Doctor has had to parse out bits of his soul at each parting like Davros donating cells to make perfect Daleks the Doctor sacrificed himself for the good of those he loved. It's possibly the most tragic episode and it's not readily understood as such... but when you see it all from the Doctor's perspective it can break both your hearts

This might be a hot take but can Mrs.Flood just be Mrs.Flood who knows what a TARDIS is cause she lived in London all her life, where alien shit is happening at least once a year and is always accompanied by the doctor and a strange police box.
Yk the doc aren’t as subtle as they think they are, word gets around as to what the box actually is.

the thing about doctor who is that its only good when the writers remember that the doctor is Literally Just Some Guy. doctor who should be a show about a weird annoying burnout who travels through space and hangs out with humans because his own species don’t want him. whenever the show buys into the idea of the doctor being a Very Important Universally Beloved Hero Prophesized To Save The World instead of a cosmic dipshit driving a busted old car he stole on graduation day doing the alien equivalent of backpacking across europe the show starts hardcore sucking

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

Today Fourteen visited A.Z. Fell & Co. Antiquarian and Unusual Books in Soho. The perfectly normal human bookseller was very nice. And handsome. The one in sunglasses was a bit funny though.

i am obsessed with the thought of having a rose tyler-/cut-off love confession though like can you imagine????
aziraphale is a projection from heaven like the metatron's head and JUST as he says crowley, i- the circle is shut off and the bookshop goes dark. we get a slow shot zooming out, showing us crowley motionless in front of the chalk markings, one hand lifted almost as if to reach out.
the candles are still burning, and once we have an aerial shot they too flicker and die, and all we see is black. if neil wants us to have fun we also hear nothing except for one broken sob right at the end </3

Having watched just one season of moffat era doctor who so far I have to say he put so much effort into his crack in the wall throughout the season whereas we have to remember that RTD season 1 just sprinkled the word bad wolf into the scenery occasionally and called it a day. But he forgot to make the characters hold hands. RTD could genuinely do whatever he wanted and then he’d have them running around holding hands and you’d be like “ok this is a good show”

idk, just something about immortals, man.
I put Loki as 1200+ years old because in canon he's around 1050 years during the events of The Avengers, and in the Loki show it says "centuries later," which means at least 200 years. he could be older than Merlin.
Merlin is known across fandom to be 1500 years old in modern day.
Crowley and Aziraphale could indeed be much older, as we don't know how much time passed between when the angels were created and when Adam and Eve left Eden. (I don't think.) but I put them down with what we know them to be for sure.
The Doctor is at least 4 and a half billion years old, as that's the amount of time they spent in the confession dial. they were stated to be at least 2k years old when they entered. they could very well be much older in total, if you tie in the lore of The Timeless Child. I wanted the gif to include both of those incarnations, as fifteen is the most recent (and older), and fourteen explicitly stated in The Giggle that he's a billion years old.
