jodie ‘method acting’ whittaker growing another heart to play the role of a two hearted alien is what puts her at no.1 in the doctor actor competition and that’s that. 

#dw shit #sorry #there was SO much weirdness around people over casting a woman #like we can be all tumblr all we like #the main reaction here was that a cis white woman was barely Anything in terms of casting #but to many other people it Very much Was a Big Deal to stomp their baby feet over #how a Girl wasn't qualified to play the doctor who is very much a man #you know. a cis one. #and i will always find it funny that she pulled off the most epic gotcha on earth #by growing another heart #(especially after she spent all that time doing press saying #how redic it was to say a woman couldn't play the doctor #when the doctor is a two hearted alien #and literally nobody can play that accurately #only to then gotcha herself #by doing it) #also yes this is sarcy #but it's a hill i am willing to die on for how funny it'd be to do so #this post is like kicking a hornets nest lol
