#don't get me wrong i love the doctor

I know the doctor was grieving rose in s3 but come on my guy you did not need to treat martha like that like she walked the earth for a year for you + the entirety of the family of blood, she should've run him over with the tardis after that honestly

#don't get me wrong i love the doctor #but he can se such an ass sometimes #his story after rose is one of grief and loss and although he does tell martha what he's going through #some of the things the does (looking at you the family of blood) are just WAY too bad #i have a complicated relationship with that episode #it's interesting but oh dear does she get treated horribly #martha jones #doctor who #dw #tenth doctor

*gently takes your hand* listen LISTEN. I know they're mostly goofs but genuinely no version of The Doctor and Donna hate each other. They're SOULmates not personalitymates. Their dynamic will play out differently with each face but there is never once a lack of mutual love and adoration. As long as The Doctor is The Doctor and Donna Noble is Donna Noble, they are sharing a soul in different bodies, no matter what bodies those might be.

#genuinely the answer to 'would you still love me if i was a worm?' is YES for them both!!!!! #doctor who #donna noble #don't get wrong i do think some of those posts are funny and hashtag not that deep #but no. no doctor hates donna and donna hates no doctor. that's her gender neutral special little guy no matter WHAT #the doctor

i feel like some people are still so weird about cats. i taught my cat "sit" recently and upon mentioning this to my one friend he said he didn't really believe cats learn tricks like dogs do (because they're independent-minded and don't have a drive to please their owners) and was like "she's only sitting because she knows she usually gets a treat from you if she does"

unlike dogs who... definitely don't normally learn tricks through positive reinforcement or like treats.... apparently...

#don't get me wrong i do think it varies by cat #also this is not an anti dog post just a 'wow people have strongly set ideas about cat personalities' #also hearing people constantly reiterate how independent and aloof cats are has been very surreal #because my cat is like... basically made of velcro. as loving as any dog ive ever owned. she just doesn't need to be taken out to poop #that's like the only difference in independence ive experienced lmao #not st #cats #doctor's log

Something I love about making 13 fanart is that while 13 is largely unpopular in the fandom, all the reblogs I do get on an art piece with her are from people who are REALLY passionate about the 13th Doctor. And the notes are filled with nice comments about 13 and certain episodes!

It's really so refreshing to see among all the hate she's been bombarded with over the years!

#and don't get me wrong. i have my issues with the way things are written in 13's run too #but I LOVEEEE how Jodie plays the doctor #i love 13's personality and i love the mannerisms Jodie gave her. she's really grown on me #and in a way her doctor being outcasted in the fandom makes me love and identity with 13 more #it's so sad to see all her potential wasted with bad writing and for the fandom to blame all of it on 13 as a character #talkies #13th doctor #thirteenth doctor #jodie whittaker #doctor who #the doctor

#doctor who #power of the doctor #thirteen #yasmin khan #dhawan!master #the master #thasmin #dw spoilers #i love when the doctor goes agains her own code. more importantly i love it when they use their companion to break said code. #i can't believe we didn't get a conversation between ace and yaz about this #don't get me wrong i loved seven and ace's conversation #but i feel like it didn't address the situation in as much detail as i'd hoped for #just grateful sophie aldred's book exists so that i at least know a version of this conversation exists out there #also yaz was very hot when she pointed that gun i'm sorry i'm not immune to Yaz With Gun #neither is the doctor btw

I always find it funny that Eleven is the one with an episode entitled "The God Complex" when Ten is actually the one with the biggest god complex of them all

#i say as a FAN of what happened with Ten's god complex #and the showing of the tragedy of it #tho i do have to admit that the show TREATED Eleven like he was a bit of a god in universe #but that is the show having a god complex about HIM #anyway i love ten #ten is my scrunkly blorbo #but he is also very much a pathetic wet cat with a god complex #what else do you call waters of mars #the eleventh doctor #eleventh doctor #doctor who #tenth doctor #i do love the god complex as an episode don't get me wrong #arguably best episode of eleven

sometimes i think about the fact that georgia tennant was considered for the role of rose, and yeah sure we would've lost the fun trivia of "georgia was the doctor's daughter irl and then she played the doctor's daughter onscreen" bUT! BUT. WE WOULD'VE GAINED IRL TENROSE. CAN YOU IMAGINE

#tenrose #i love billie don't get me wrong!! #and i would never want her replaced!! #...BUT #if georgia had played rose #and then david and georgia got married like they did #we would've seen tenrose live happily ever after in the real. world. #god i would watch the hell out of that version of the show ngl #and we would've gotten to watch them fall in love onscreen too #that would've healed all the angst that tenrose left in my heart ngl #doctor who #tenth doctor #rose tyler #david tennant #georgia tennant

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?

#WHERE IS THAT POST THAT SAID NINE WOULD KILL THIRTEEN FOR BEING A CLASS TRAITOR #WHY WOULD YOU SAY “ERODE PEOPLE'S TRUST IN AUTOMATION” ALL WORRIED AND CONCERNED LIKE THAT??? #WHEN DID YOU START LIKING AUTOMATION OVER PEOPLE THINKING AND DOING THINGS FOR THEMSELVES??? #AND WHY ARE YOU TRAVELING WITH A COPPER??? WE HATE COPPERS?????? #did we FORGET into the dalek?? how about how he treated danny?? god there's so much more I can't even remember off the top of my head #(I understand soldiers are different from cops but c'mon don't even PRETEND twelve would've been any nicer if blue or danny were just COPS) #also a bit off topic bUT MAY I JUST TALK ABOUT ARACHNIDS IN THE UK FOR HALF A GODAMNED SECOND— #I know the companions are usually the ones to do the doctor's dirty work here but like #I just can't see the other doctors NOT having the business man lure the spider for being so fuckin annoying about it #like I was genuinely surprised when they had him do that whole song and dance about not doing it and then he actually just. didn't do it #the doctor LOVES fucking with evil rich business men this is PERFECT. plus why not get back at him for being awful to their companions? #absolutely gobsmacked thirteen let him act like that. I am wrong in thinking that the others would've shut his shit down a LOT quicker?? #anyways. I love jodie whittaker and it's just so upsetting to have her doctor do something so wildly off #THIRTEEN PLEASE I HAD SUCH FAITH IN YOUUU I WAS IGNORING THE HATERS AND FOR WHAT #I can SEE the other doctors in her still I can FEEL them they're there she's doing an AMAZING job but. oh my god. what did they make her do #I can't even say she feels ooc as a whole because jodie is bloody brilliant. it's just these... moments. that don't make ANY sense to me... #especially coming off of twelve?? I get the radical personality switch but that belief is a core part of the doctor. or at least I THOUGHT #thirteenth doctor #doctor who #I still love all of you who love her and reading ur posts/fics but I. will not be making any myself. I do not think.

Did I just spend 3 hours on these? Maybe

I also made weeping angels

(ignore the toaster quality)

I also made a rock

But this one's my favourite:

I think it turned out okay

#love how you can see how I lost my patience at the christmas trees #good omens #this was not worth 3 hours of my time #but i regret nothing #weeping angels #doctor who #ineffable spouses #don't get me wrong they're definitely extremely ugly and the lighting isn't doing them any favours #but I spent too much time on them for them to be forgotten

listen. as much as I know (and love) that this doctor who special was v much trans rights save lives in the very blatant way that leaves no room for doubt for any wilful misinterpretation with the erasure of transness from the narrative esp in the terf supreme climate which was very necessary and important, and as much as I understand that dw is abt logical reasoning things making sense in a very (emphasis on very) abstracty hand-wavey way and you'd come up blank if you try to get into specifics ... i have just one question.

why did Donna and Rose Noble tell the doctor "we just let it go. you wouldn't understand as a male-presenting doctor." like.. that bit truly ???? me and I just didn't understand like... what does. male-presenting have to do w anything.. I am genuinely asking. i get the logic of the rest of the things: Donna passed down the metacrisis (sp? it's been years since doctordonna ep so I'm rusty) thingy to rose so they're both able to be share the weight of it without dying.. is it the extra regeneration energy theyre able to let go without any hassle? that's such a skill issue for a male-presenting doctor? ... if that then,, why so? what does being male-presenting have to do w anything is. my question. bc the logic is supposed to be handwavey I know.. but that part just puzzled me like is there some secret caveat I'm not getting?

#im genuinely asking bc my memory of the whole doctordonna thing is very rusty its been YEARS. #and i like the handwavey logic of dw dont get me wrong. this bit just made things confusing for me like there's a caveat or smth #that is a skill issue for a doctor and if so.. why foes it have to do w male-presenting like i don't get it... #like the doctor too is trans all the way w gender funkery and so is rose so like... what is it that #a female-presentkng doctor would get that a male-presenting doctor wouldn't? #if anything i'd even say that fourteen is WAAY more emotionally adjusted than thirteen ever was lmao #she was the king of repression and roiling buried frustration at all times who never dealt with her problems and always let then fester — #you wanna tell me as female-presenting SHE would Get It abt 'Letting Things Go'?? LOL. LMAO EVEN. #but truly what was that line about. bc its the only wrench in the logic that makes me. not get the handwavey logic still. #doctor who #the star beast #edit: gotta fckin LOVE typos in tags that shit isn't confusing at fucking ALL!! 🙄

You know. The way 10 treated Jack was really rubbish but, just think about it... The Doctor said running away from Jack is basically an instinct reaction. So a living fixed point in time and space towards a time lord is much more like a HUGE cockroach towards human and believe me if I saw a cockroach rushing towards me like this ↓ I would definitely run to the end of the universe as well for my f life😑

#jack harkness #the tenth doctor #doctor who #shit post #😑 #and please don't get me wrong i really love Jack like he's my favorite character but

Our Doctor Who rewatch reached Utopia and I am once again losing my mind over Ten/Yana, the nichest of niche Thoschei variants. They are SO OBVIOUSLY AND GLEEFULLY IN LOVE! In this brief moment, they get to exist together with all the baggage and animosity and mutual hurt stripped away! They do science together and marvel at each other's genius and just exist side by side! (And also put each other's faces very close together at one point.) And the tragedy of it is, it's the very presence of Ten - his TARDIS, his existence as a Time Lord, his references to daleks and the Time War - that triggers Yana regaining the Master's memories and brings all of it crashing down.

#not da #speak faust #doctor who #professor yana #thoschei #i mean i enjoy literally every thoschei variant don't get me wrong #love these bitchy immortal exes who are FLAGRANTLY still in love #but i have SUCH a soft spot for this one #also it's slightly odd by virtue of being part 1 of a three parter but utopia? damn near perfect episode imo

*ahem*

The whole "Impossible Girl/Great Intelligence" Plot Line from season 7 of Doctor Who was better written and a more insteresting concept/excecution when RTD did Badwolf in Season 1 with Rose.

Not to mention the Badwolf plot actually had consequences in the narrative that changed the status quo and kept the story's momentum moving forward, unlike Clara who got to just jump into the time stream and live.

Clara was a more interesting concept of a character when she was Oswin Oswald, as a human Dalek, and I would've enjoyed her continuing in the series in that way instead 🤷

#don't get me wrong #i love clara #and she has some great episodes #her dynamic with 12 is hilarious and welldone #but she is very mich steven moffat's ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL #Who is cooler and smarter and funnier and SO MUCH better than Rose in EVERY WAY #doctor who #season 7 #impossible girl #bad wolf #rose tyler #clara oswin oswald #prev tags are sarcastic #btw #Rose is a good character #Moffat is just immature about how he writes his stories

[girddlepatchilles]

My one complaint about Mary & George, which I thoroughly enjoyed and had fun with btw, is the complete whitewash of James VI & I in the narrative. George Villiers definitely comes off as the absolute evil twink that he was, but James was a lot more woobified by the narrative... which was kind of a disservice?

James VI & I was not some poor silly drunken lech who got caught up in the web of George and his scheming mother. He was in part responsible for the witch craze, he believed strongly in the divine right of kings and didn't believe he needed a parliament. Not to mention he was responsible for North American colonisation.

James VI & I should have been just as bad as George Villiers!

#mary & george #i love what tony curran did with the character #like don't get me wrong #i loved his performance #but this was a sadboy version of james vi & i #my ideal pop-culture james vi & i would be a combo of tony curran and alan cumming from that doctor who ep #let james be messy show!

I have Many thoughts and feelings about that episode and most of them are... what was the point of all of that??

#doctor who #nuwho #doctor who spoilers #fourteenth doctor #fifteenth doctor #like... I think I liked it?? but why was Mel there. she didn't do anything #i adore Kate with everything in me but... unit also didn't contribute. interesting and enjoyable character moments for her though!! #and Shirley love love love Shirley but realistically what did she do #the climax was a literal game of catch. and don't get me started on the double tardis! and Tennant! fucking quadruple Tennant! #the erasure of the times the doctor HAS settled down and had a family like.... #also this was not an anniversary I'm sorry. it was not a celebration of the show it was a celebration of Tennant and Tate #who I adore don't get me wrong!! they were good episodes. but that last episode... none of it felt earned #love love LOVE Ncuti though he's incredible already v excited #it's just. when three anniversary specials seem to be used to set up the next season and next episodes.... Not A Fan
