#(era) twelfth doctor

The funny thing about Clara is that on The Doctor and Clara's adventures she's depicted as the more socially aware one who can be the "carer" in the face of Twelve's rudeness and alien nature. Than when you see her with Danny you find out her social skills are actually abysmal and The Doctor has such poor social skills they make her social skills look good by comparison

bill asking twelve why he noticed her out of all the people who come to his lectures who aren’t supposed to and it cutting to the photo of susan on his desk as he says “most people, when they don’t understand something, they frown. you smile” he chose her bc she reminded him of his granddaughter and her curiosity and joy!! twelve said I WILL adopt you immediately!! I’m gonna cry!!

missy says “the doctor kills people too, i just enjoy it more. he’s the farmer, i’m the hunter, you know” and that makes me think she’s intimately aware of the sacrificial lamb paradigm. the lord is my shepherd. companions as beautiful little foals raised for the slaughter. with sorrow, of course, and remorse. the farmer loves every new creature in their flock with an emotional tenderness reserved for children and lovers. he’ll grieve when the butcher comes. he always does. but it’s inevitable. and you can always pretend your pet will live as long as you but fifty dog years are ten of your own. and when the time comes to put them down you’ll blame the vet. you’ll blame whoever has to bleed the calf. you’ll try not to blame yourself. after all, creatures in the wild alone lead such boring, listless lives. you’re showing them the wonders of the cosmos they’d never have seen with their normalcy-blinkered gaze. you’re doing them a favour. you’ll adopt another one. it will thank you as the light leaves its eyes.

but the hunter is evil, you say. the hunter kills willfully, the hunter stalks its prey, the hunter attacks with no mercy. instantly. painlessly, maybe. is that really so much worse?

after all, many moons ago, with a bloodied rock in his hands and the spectre of Death breathing down his neck, the hunter’s future had become the farmer’s first sacrifice. many moons ago, cain was the farmer and abel the hunter. and cain killed abel

The handling of Gallifrey in new who is genuinely the funniest thing ever. The Doctor is given this huge tragic backstory about being the last of his kind and spends seven seasons mourning the loss of his beloved home. Than he triumphiantly manages to save Gallifrey as this huge moment to celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who. Hype about The Doctor's eventual return to Gallifrey builds up for two years. Than he gets back to Gallifrey and both The Doctor and Steven Moffat decided "Wait a minute this place fucking sucks actually. Clara is cooler than all you motherfuckers put together" and then two seasons later Chibnall blows it up again offscreen. Only on Doctor Who.

You guys remember how Twelve's last adventure, involving letting Missy and Bill try their hand in a fairly chill place, on their own, with no help, barely supervised, to see if they'd learnt from him, ended with his student's death, Missy's betrayal, and his own regeneration in an impossibly bad, unwinnable situation?

And how Thirteen ended up being extremely hands-on with a let-me-do-it-you-guys-just-tag-along approach?

Cuz I do, constantly
