tardis console rooms ranked by how good i think they'd be to have sex in

list NON exhaustive. im sure im gonna miss a console room variation. let's go.

worst to best:

The Coral Console room: i feel like im gonna ruffle some feathers w this one but honestly. it sucks. nowhere good to fuck in this console room. you've got the horrible little seats. the floor is like a grill?? awful. plus im gonna level with you, this one looks Grimy. i feel like a lot of the surfaces have space oil on them. yucky. no disrespect to it as a console room but i would not have sex in here.

The Classique: absolutely spartan. lighting white and overbearing. nowhere to fuck in here except on the console which is one of those scenarios i think sounds fun in theory but in practice would be a terrible idea, OR the floor which looks very hard. perhaps marginally more practical than the coral bcos it at least looks clean but probably the least sexy.

The roundel console room: hmm on the one hand, this one has mood lighting and the jukebox. however i think being naked in here would feel awfully exposed and also it's just all floors and ramps and railings. hate to say it bcos i love this one.

The wooden console room: this one definitely has a more pleasant atmosphere than the classique. it also has actual furniture in it which is a plus & my reason for rating it higher than any of the above. however: all hard surfaces.

The crystal console room: i don't think this one has anywhere good to fuck, however, gotta rank it relatively high on pure atmosphere.

The glass floor console room: this one has a LOT going on aesthetically. the glass floor looks extremely uncomfortable but like from a visual point of view it has potential. there's also some legitimately comfy looking furniture in there. however i think the reality is there's nowhere comfortable to fuck in here.

The silver console room: very atmospheric. is there furniture in here?? i don't remember what the furniture situation is but it's full of bookcases which appeals to me. i feel like it must have somewhere to sit & read or it wouldn't have all those books.

The sixties: ok bear with me on this high entry. the key difference between the classique and the sixties is that the sixties console room has that delightful combo of spaceship aesthetic & victorian furniture which they just kind of forgot about as the show went along. the lact of consistency in what furniture items appear in the console room creates the impression that it just kinda spawns whatever furniture is needed. this includes on occasion!! a recliner chair/couch that the Doctor naps on. i can't find a good picture of it but like yeah you could have sex on that thing. also the atmosphere is a lot less sterile than the classique.

The Victorian Parlour console room: i mean this goes without saying. there's like actually comfortable furniture and rugs on the floor and things. AND a really great atmosphere!! look at that lighting. 10/10. legitimately good love nest.

i will never not be unwell about "you are still my President, my Lady" like bestie... WHAT. leela even tries to point out the absurdity but everyone dismisses her as usual. like what is she even president of, exactly? the physical planet of gallifrey is gone, their people are gone, the state no longer exists because there is no longer any instrument to enforce it, the law no longer applies for the same reason; by what right, then, could romana possibly be president, and what is there left to be president of?

but he glides right over those questions that should be obvious and immediate to him as a state official, either because he can't bear to think about it or because he's gallifreyan; his state, unlike others, isn't a place or a people or a political or legal entity (all things that need to physically exist in some way) (incidentally, also all things that can be flawed), his state is a fact. an ideal. an idol. gallifrey doesn't exist by virtue of the stasers and battle tardises that enforce her laws and borders, she exists like time exists. she just is and always has been and always should be, no questions asked—stop asking questions. "gallifrey" is not a physical entity, she is an almost ethical, religious entity. she's not an "is", she's a "should". gallifreyan ethics and sensibilities are what's right, gallifrey is how things Should Be, and that doesn't change no matter where you are. the colonialist britain-ism of it all

romana is still the president because gallifrey said so. what do you mean gallifrey isn't a living entity that can speak? what do you mean gallifrey is a state, which inherently means it's just a collection of fallible people executing law however they (or their predecessors) agree to and then ensuring that their decisions are followed through political, economic, or military force? what do you mean power grows from the barrel of a gun and/or the consent of the masses, and romana currently has neither

just. romana is the president because she is. stop asking questions.

but really, what is she president of? he says it straight up. she is his president. she's the president of him—and, at this point, literally nothing else. she's the president of him because he needs one, both because he needs to be led and to provide the illusion of safety and stability and order that gallifrey normally would. romana is his president because he needs her to be, whether he consciously acknowledges that or not

"The bottom line isn't how Israel treats queer people... it would still be a country that's committing genocide and killing 100,000 Palestinians... It is important to point out that this [pinkwashing] is also a lie and propaganda, but the bottom line is that it doesn't matter. There is no amount of 'progressivism' a country can achieve that could permit it to commit genocide and mass starvation. [...]

The bottom line of my refusal [to join the Israeli military] is that no aid, no resources, no cooperation should be given to a state that's committing genocide. And of course, that's not to say that before October 7th, Israel was a 'moral' state that was 'suddenly corrupted.' Obviously it's a state that's upholding an apartheid system that's been committing ethnic cleansing for 77 years. But the reality as it exists today makes the question of what is to be done very simple: We need to employ every tool that we have to withhold as much help as we can from [Israel] to continue advancing its goals.

For me, it's withholding myself as a resource for the continuation of genocide. For people living abroad, it's putting pressure on governments, institutions, businesses, to cut all ties and aid with the state of Israel, and to take matters into their own hands and block the flow of weapons into the state of Israel... What I'd encourage everyone to do is to find a group that wants to exert as much pressure as possible, and organize with them, and do it, because that's what needs to be done."
