#13th doctor regenerates

[haley-harrison]

exCUSE me, WHY are we not talking about this????

[oldbookshop]

David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker discussing how they found out who the 13th and 14th Doctors would be! [x][x]

Do you guys subscribe to the theory that (at least, starting in NuWho) the Doctor can, somewhat, subconsciously control his regenerations?

Like, of course, 8 wanted to be a warrior, so he became the War Doctor (I know that he drank a potion for that, but that might’ve just been lemonade according to the Target Novelization).

War wanted to be the hero, to earn the title, the Doctor, again, so he became 9.

9 wanted to be someone who was the perfect partner to Rose (human), so he became 10.

10, in his vanity, wanted his final regeneration to be young, so he became 11.

11, after all the heartache, wanted to be more distant (and also what they said in series 8), so he became 12.

12 wanted a kind, fresh start, so he became 13.

13 wanted to open up to someone, so she became 14.

14 wanted time to heal, so he split off 15.

This is not an original theory, and I'm not even saying that I buy into it fully it, but it's interesting. It would be interesting if the Doctor had a tiny bit of control over their regeneration (Romana did, somehow) and most of the time his wants either backfire or only half work.

What do you think?

I have not talked enough about the amazing artwork that I had commissioned through @batfiend

Rose <3 The Doctor

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Go check out more of their work and support them on their Ko-fi page!

the thirteenth doctor’s regeneration does not get the credit it deserves. despite knowing that she’s losing herself, she doesn’t run from it like ten or twelve. she doesn’t hide the terrifying truth of what will happen and how exactly she might change from the companion she loves like nine or eleven. she doesn’t remain in the TARDIS, her true home and safe haven, where everything is familiar, like all the rest choose to do, despite knowing their regeneration energy will likely damage their beloved ship.

instead, she holds off just long enough to have ice cream with the woman she loves. to give her companion a goodbye, a real goodbye, something none of the doctors before her had managed to do for any of the others that came before. she finds a cliff with a stunning yet unfamiliar sunset, and faces the end of her story — her new beginning, the unknown — with a quip and smile.

in the end, I think she was truly the bravest of them all.

so... this is how it went, right?

how chibnall has no fear of putting sacha dhawan in 13’s clothes when she regenerated into him and rtd refused to keep her outfit when she regenerated into david tennet let’s discuss

[who-datgirl]

Y’all ever since someone said “Whittaker!Master” on here I have NOT been able to get it out of my head. I honestly kind of need it. Jodie would serve c*nt on a damn silver platter as the next Master. It canonically is not even too far fetched that The Master would regenerate Jodie’s face after the events of the forced regeneration with 13.

“Are you really so shocked I would wind up looking like this darling? Don’t flatter yourself about it, I didn’t plan to wear this face. After the forced regeneration was canceled an imprint of this body was left within me, but I have no complaints. After all, LOOK at me. You didn’t wear this with an ounce of the elegance that I do. If anything, I am doing you a favor”.

Let her slay with her outfit and makeup and give us the post-Missy incarnation we all deserve. Jodie would EAT.

13th Doctor newly regenerated: why are you calling me madam?

Yaz panicking thinking she just misgendered someone: I'm sorry... sir?

13th Doctor not giving it too much thinking and continuing with her regeneration drama: :)

Later that day

13th Doctor looking for a new outfit in the TARDIS, finding out about her new body and going out of the TARDIS where Yaz is waiting: I need new clothes, I'm a woman now, you coming?

Yaz assuming the Doctor is gender fluid: yeah, cool.

And they continued to be mutually confused for an entire regeneration.

Yaz doesn't know when to use each pronoun so she just uses them randomly when speaking about the Doctor. The Doctor is so confused on why she does that at the begining but she doesn't care enough about her gender to correct Yaz. They never ask eachother about it. They just chill.

GET OUT RN I CANT BELIEVE DW POSTED THIS

I’m going to actually sob

[t-4-twissy]

"We're probably not cis but we do NOT have the time to think about that"

"I thought I was a girl for a few seconds and was a bit too happy about it to be normal"

"Shit. Might be transfem but WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ALL THAT"

"I'm a woman. Jury's still out on whether or not I'm happy about that. Unsure"

"... Guys I think I'm genderfluid"

"Yep. Genderfluid"

Au where in “The Woman Who Fell To Earth” instead of falling in Sheffield, 13 accidentally lands in front of an Echo of Clara.

DOCTOR WHO -> The Power of the Doctor

something about me is the regenerations will always make me teary

[doctorkinktraveller]

Prior to leaving Doctor Who, Steven Moffat was not privy to Chris Chibnall's plan to cast a female as the Doctor.

He had an "inkling", but deliberately left the final speech of the Twelfth Doctor open to the possibility.

As with previous showrunners, Chibnall wrote Jodie's first scene, and specifically did not reference the gender change.

He "didn't want that to be the focus" at any point in his tenure.
