in my eyes twelve is the doctor™ and the culmination of everything the doctor is and has ever wanted to be. i've always seen him as kinder and more painfully human than those before him and even though being nice can be a struggle being kind is literally his whole Thing. he's a good guy. with the roughest of exteriors but the gentlest of souls. gets angry but never resentful. flawed but his heart's in the right place. has difficulty with affection but cares more deeply than most. a little snarky and blunt but so compassionate and thoughtful and good and your honor he's really just a guy
