Young Theta Sigma hearing non diegetic music and thinking huh this would go HARD on a perigosto stick
truly fifteen is the first doctor where i understand why everyone can't help but fall in love with them. like. their strange and earnest rizz is off the charts.
"You can tell everything about a person from the hotel room they choose" is the new "If your phone has scratch marks, you're an alcoholic"
sorry the doctor pinwheeling between ‘ace -> not ace -> ace again’ between regenerations will never not be funny to me.
"average doctor has no fear of what killed their previous incarnation" factoid actualy just statistical error. average doctor is terrified of what killed their previous incarnation. Fours Georg, who lives in rocks & is scared shitless of heights, the thing that will kill him, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
i really enjoy reading the doctor as an experiment in queer masculinity. he very often appears to be conventionally masculine on first appearances - but so often he subverts that. he can be violent, but he's against killing; he strives for peace, and remains a hero. he espouses kindness, compassion, acceptance - he's a scientist, not a military man. he keeps an open mind, and encourages understanding, even for that which most people think of as disgusting. he sees a dying insect, monstrous to human eyes, lethal to human bodies, and considers it beautiful. he dresses in a traditionally masculine manner, and yet his clothes are almost always a strange mix of styles, or several decades out of date. he's deeply rooted in victorian/edwardian fashion, which often just has the effect of turning him into a gay magician. he's often a towering, six-foot-plus, deep-voiced Authority Figure, and yet he is so gentle. sometimes he's queer in that he loves men, and kisses men, as someone adjacent to masculinity (true of practically all of his incarnations from eight onwards); sometimes he's queer in that he loves everyone, regardless of gender; sometimes he's queer in that he doesn't love anyone, and is an aromantic or asexual figure; sometimes he's queer in that he's detached from human or time lord understandings of gender; sometimes he's queer as in queer, as in weird. he's flamboyant. he's eccentric. he's your gay uncle. he can regenerate into bodies which humans are quick to identify as female, but throughout it all he seems to carry some vague inner sense of identifying with masculinity, but rejecting it in its conventional form. the doctor is queer, yes, capable of expressing himself in a whole array of ways, but more than that, he's queer and masculine. and i love that.
Holy shit the new Doctor Who episode Went There. It's important that they did, and I'm glad that they executed it seriously, but Fuck.
they got technology for building custom-made stars to use as an unlimited energy source AND it comes in the form of a semi-sentient box?? like the hand of omega??? you know what that means. thats right baby series 14 full feature-length Lungbarrow adaptation
Love that fifteen is a swearer let it out king you deserve to say shit every now and then. As a treat
dr. who is trying to open a door. alas; it will not open! but he hides the key and pretends it fits the lock and tells the keyhole very sternly that it matches the key and bam! the door flies open, whacking him in the face and breaking his nose. bloody academy party tricks
I’ve been trying to change this to a secondary blog please help. (Any pronouns)
