[thirteensfavoritetoy]

Scene: a charity shop in Sheffield, England

Date: 7 October 2018

Time: late morning

Shop owner: (grumbling to self)

Shop employee: Oi boss, somethin' wrong?

Owner: Oh it's just...I mean, we're runnin' out of space here, a lotta the clothes aren't movin', and we're just gettin' more an' more in, but it's stuff nobody's gonna buy. I mean, look at this lot from this mornin'!

(dumps large tote of assorted clothes onto table)

I mean...look at this jacket. Is- Is that light grey or light blue? I can't tell.

Employee: Hang on, maybe if ya bring it into the light a bit...

(holds jacket up to light)

...um, nope, didn't help, I can't tell either.

Owner: Right, see? Or how 'bout these blue trousers.

Employee: I think those are culottes...no wait, are they? They're kinda too long for that.

Owner: An' they're also too short for trousers. Yeah, ridiculous.

Employee: Ooh, now this shirt with the rainbow pattern's not bad.

Owner (looking at shirt): Oi, that's not a rainbow pattern that's just, I dunno, stripes.

Employee: Oh yeah, well, whatever then.

Owner: Oh God, check these out!

(holds up item in front of employee's face)

Employee: Mustard yellow braces?! God they're ugly.

Owner: Right, buncha weird clothes that are gonna lay 'round here for who knows how long that nobody's gonna buy. Just fuckin' great.

Later that day

Employee: Oi boss you're not gonna believe this...

The skill in this fandom is unreal and has had me itching to try my hand at making posters recently. Decided to finally give it a go and start with The Woman Who Fell to Earth! Didn’t have much of a plan for the design. It was very experimental and mostly to help me get a feel for the process, but I’m pretty happy with it as my first try ✨

Don’t mind me - just getting emotional about how the woman who fell to earth first aired on October 7, 2018 and how tomorrow is October 7, 2022 and Jodies gonna leave soon 😭

I know they probably won’t but it would be absolutely SICK if they dropped a big bit of promo for the power of the doctor on October 7, the exact date that jodies first episode was released. It would be so beautiful and a full circle moment - I’d cry

When I go to sleep I tend to get a bunch of anxiety so I've been using affirmations to convince my dumb brain everything is fine and i can go to sleep

But since watching TWWFTE again I keep adding on "somebody out there wants me" because the scene with Karl saying that as one of his affirmations right after the reveal that he's being hunted by Tzim Sha makes me laugh every time

yaz in survivors of the flux

in a nutshell, we believe the fabric of time and space is under threat and that earth is about to be under attack. but we’re not sure when, where, or who from, and we need to find others who can help us stop it happening.

[asoulwithadream]

okay my expectations for thirteen were pretty low, since as someone relatively knew to the series i'd just heard bad things about both her and chibnall's writing. BUT I'VE BEEN SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED???

i fucking love thirteen. she's the perfect mix of human and timelord, and i mean that metaphorically. she's kind of the only doctor so far i've actually been able to relate to? she acts the exact way i would act if i were the doctor. the little arm swivel with the sonic? naming things willy nilly? she has the genius, the perfection, and she lacks is social contexts realistically but she still recieves love for it. shes loved for all her flaws, the same flaws i have, and it makes me feel loved. shes funny, she has morals, shes smart, she takes her time, she prioritises her friends, her goals are always to reunite and save as many possible.

she is a unit of a character and i love her. if you haven't noticed, i haven't quite been able to put her characterisation into words because shes so special to me that i think that if i did it would leave me head forever. if that makes any sense.

but i think what made me realise this is the speed i've been going through her episodes? in the past i've noticed that i haven't been really watching dw daily with the other doctors: obviously it was close, especially for the good story arcs and dramatic moments. but sometimes i'd stop in the start or middle of a season and just leave it for a bit before coming back.

but the MINUTE i saw twwfte (which perhaps may not have been the best introduction so far, but even so) i was hooked for some reason. and i just kept watching and watching and loving almost every episode and just watching. and of course i have my complaints but gosh this is good, you know what i mean?

and i have midterms!!!!!!!! i have a quadratics test in two days!!!!!! i don't have time to watch the haunting of villa diodati! but look at me go.

I love that 13's companions don't need her to be "The Doctor". All they ask is respect and some level of honesty. But they don't need her to be special or do special things. Actually from the start, literally since TWWFTE, they've liked and protected her just for who she is as a person, as strange as she seemed to them (I'm convinced they clocked her as neurodivergent by human standards from the get go, Graham and Grace especially acted such a lovely way with her). Through her identity crisis they always affirm that who she is right now is worthy of love and a good person (who just screws up sometimes).

This is such a good point especially since so many people want to claim Chibs made the Doctor a special chosen one. The Doc was clearly always the leader of the crew, but she did, for the most part try and make it a flat team structure until things were grave enough she had to be the one to really step up and take charge.

I think a good example of what your pointing out is in Nikola Teslas Night of Terror when Edison is looking around the TARDIS obviously trying to look at how he can take advantage of it and Graham basically tell him to bad off its copyright the Doctor. She doesn’t need him to step in for her but he cares about her and isn’t willing to just sit and watch this dude take advantage.

i just realized i've never posted my rant about what yaz could've been on here

basically i think the show gives yaz a bunch of different traits/experiences/etc as vehicles for messages to the audience and then never actually connects those traits/experiences/etc or lets them build up into a properly nuanced character. like when the show wants to Talk About Racism she talks about her experiences with racism and when the show wants to Talk About Mental Health we see a single crisis from her teenage years but those things don't come up outside of their respective episodes/scenes/messages

like. okay. here are some things we know about yaz. yaz:

quickly corrects gendered language

doesn't have a lot of friends

was/is the target of racist harassment

was bullied in school

ran away from home/is implied to have been suicidal or attempted suicide

celebrates the anniversary of her not-suicide with her sister but not her parents

is into women

all of these things so clearly connect into a full and complex character. but they're all so isolated! we never see how yaz running away and her sister being worried affects her once she starts traveling with the doctor (thereby disappearing from her family again). when her family isn't onscreen, we don't really hear about them-- we don't hear about whether sonya's worried about her, or what her parents think. she seems to have a good relationship with her grandmother but we mostly only see that when the episode is about it. we never hear about whether her race and orientation play into the bullying she got at school. we never hear about whether any of that is part of why she needed the tardis as an escape. the show somehow acts like her being suicidal is a one-time thing and fixed with a single pep talk, which anyone who's ever been suicidal knows is not how that works. if the scene isn't About the life event or struggle in question, it's like it doesn't exist.

and like... yaz as a character is so interesting if you connect these traits. if you think about her as a young pakistani muslim (closeted/repressed) wlw trying to get by in school, and then the trauma she incurred at the hands of others, and the bond she might've had with her sister, and the arguments she might've had with her parents, and then how all of that might've contributed to her running away/being suicidal, and then joining the police force thinking it'll help people because the one cop helped her when she ran away, and then realizing that she's not helping people/that the job isn't what she wants but she doesn't know how to get out, and then, after all of that, meeting the doctor and getting to travel time and space, and finally recognizing her love for what it is, and struggling with being away from her sister and with unpacking some of her childhood/her family stuff now she's finally separated from it-- if you think about all of that, you create such a beautiful and authentic character. but in the show, all of these traits and experiences seem to exist in isolation, and you don't see how they all come together to affect and create yaz's character.

i don't know. it bothers me that she has so much potential to be a really grounded character who i think a lot of people her age (also my age! i was 19 when twwfte came out!) could relate to. i always really wanted to see a scene in ghost monument where she has a moment of panic and realizes she's basically disappeared from her family again and has already almost died at least once and might not get back to them. it's just stuff like that that would have made her feel a lot more coherent and complete to me.

“I’ll be fine, in the end. Hopefully.”

The 13th Doctor drawing that took me almost 3 years to finish.

I originally started it in 2019, one day before the year anniversary of 13’s first episode. I could write a novel about all the time that’s passed since then, but I’ll spare you. The spark notes version is that my mom almost died while I was drawing this. And then she did die. And then the pandemic started. And then a bunch of other horrible stuff happened back to back to back to back.

I’ve known for a long time that I wanted to finish this drawing to commemorate the end of Jodie’s era. Since her regeneration will likely be airing right before my mom’s death date, I figured it’d be better to do this early. I have a lot of complicated feeling about these two things happening so close together. I honestly have a hard time thinking about it without crying. October is just filled with so much bad. The thought of saying goodbye to one of the few good things aches in a way I can’t explain.

I’ve spent so much time grieving the person I used to be before watching my mom die. These past few years have turned me into a different person with different needs. 13’s arc allowed me to see and understand this new version of myself. She helped me feel less alone when I felt angry and scared and sad and broken and very, very lost.

This drawing was originally meant to honor 13, but I think it also honors me now. The person I’ve grown into during her time and all the painful becoming that had to happen before I could finish this.

I don’t think bad things happen for a reason, but I think we can find reason in what does. There are some parts of me I’m glad didn’t survive the past few years. I’m learning to be proud of the me that I’ve built from the pieces of who I was. Looking at this drawing makes me feel grateful for who I am right now and reluctantly hopeful for the person I can become. And sometimes, a little bit of reluctant hope is all you need.

Thank you, 13, for reminding me of that.

Thank you, Jodie, for being my Doctor.

what did you guys like about the 13th doctor's era?

ok so im up to 13s era, will talk about how much i love 12 later, but i know it was pretty controversial and the episodes apparently werent the best written. I really want to like 13, i would love to be the doctor one day and jodie was paving the way for change. I feel like my mind is kind of preassuming her era as bad based on feedback but i really want to like her, so to the 13th doctor fans , whats your favourite parts about her era, companion characterisation etc. I just watched twwfte and i do like her but i want to see it from the biggest fans!

Thinking about doing a chibnall era episode tournament when I have the time but I'm curious, what does everyone personally think is the best of 13s episodes? Or just what's your personal favourite?

#doctor who #13th doctor #thirteenth doctor #chris chibnall #i think....for me my favourites probably Spyfall TTC or Revolution of the daleks #although the vanquishers was pretty great too and obviously twwfte is a classic
