David Tennant - the Fourteenth Doctor Photoshoot

source [ youtube ]

Pam Downe [ Costume Designer ] - It's a fabric that David chose, actually. He's probably got four or five sets of the trousers and the jacket, and maybe four coats.

Russell T. Davies [ Showrunner/writer ] - David's whole look is a nod to the old.

David Tennant: That was important, to find something that very much had the same flavor and the same feel, but also marked a sense that this is not quite the same story that we're telling

Russell T. Davies: The look of him is very precise, it's very Doctor-y but new. It's not the old look reproduced. It's a suit. It's a tight suit, but it's a different pattern. He insisted on doing that top button up and I don't know why he did that. I don't know what he was thinking but I love it. Moments like that you trust your lead actor. We all had input into it, we all have a say, but at the same time, we actually kind of sat back and went, "You're the man"

I don’t understand why the Bailey shoot is evidence tbh. Like, I know people say there’s crazy sexual tension or whatever, but I don’t see it. Them recreating the photos with their wives is a bit more telling, but even then there’s really only so many poses you can do with someone, especially if you’re having multiple photoshoots a year with two separate people for over a decade each.

The Bailey shoot is one of my big I Don't Think This Proves Anything, Pals.

Like, David Bailey was kind of a creep so IDK why we're trusting him on the vibes of that shoot lmao, and regardless, I agree it doesn't really come through in the pictures. John bringing Paul, to me, mostly says that he probably didn't like Bailey all that much, or that he expected the shoot to be boring. (like… it's not news that John likes Paul and enjoys spending time with him.)

The posing thing also doesn't really compel me; as you say, the poses aren't especially unique, so it's not surprising John and Paul both imitated one of them at some point. It's not like either of them recreated the whole shoot.

I also have little evidence that the shoot meant anything special to them, except perhaps the fact John kept a picture of it near him.

Sometimes I feel fandom kind of projects their interests (ie. a high quality, elaborate photoshoot whose subject is the two "main characters" of the theory at hand) onto the subjects. I just feel like, to John and Paul, their most valued, intimate moments were probably things we're not especially privy to (for example: no one would have predicted Key West as a pivotal moment before Paul explicitly revealed it).

before the beginning BEFORE THE BEGINNING

SAE DARLING I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU 💜💜💜💜💜

BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project

(You're getting slightly more than three sentences because I have trouble with brevity 😂 And you're getting a little bit from both my active WIPs 😘)

What Makes a Family:

The nausea wasn't going away. Neither was the exhaustion. Sure, the ensuing month since Jimmy had died had been stressful and hectic, full of meetings with lawyers and taking David to counseling and acting appropriately bereaved whenever friends stopped by the flat. But it had been a month—surely she shouldn't still feel like she'd been run over by a train. If she didn't know any better, Rose would have thought she was pregnant...

"Oh, hell," she muttered to herself, digging the heels of her hands into her eyes. No. Surely not. It was impossible. Absolutely impossible for her to be pregnant. It was just the stress, that was all. The stress of grief and being a new single mum. Of course she wasn't pregnant. She would go straight to the pharmacy right now and pick up a test and prove to herself that it was just stress.

An hour later, Rose sat sobbing on the bathroom floor, palms aching and bruised from where they'd made harsh, repeated contact with the edge of the tub in a fit of fury. Beside her was that thin, damning piece of plastic with its impossible little plus sign.

Sacred New Beginnings:

James doesn't quite remember what city he's in. Shit, he doesn't know which country he's in. Has he made it to America, or was that scheduled for next week?

Whatever. It doesn't matter, really. The club is loud, the booze is strong, and the company is entertaining. He's lost in the beat of the bass, the rhythm and cadence of the vocals. He grips his partner's hips, rocking and swaying and grinding far too lewdly for such a public place, but fuck it, this is his only goddamn night off until the end of the month, and he's going to enjoy himself.

"Wanna go somewhere more private?" his partner asks.

His head is foggy and his tongue doesn't feel right in his mouth, but he manages to agree. The man in front of him grabs his hand and pulls him along, stumbling through the sea of hot, writhing bodies until they've found a dark corridor that will serve just fine for what James wants. His partner is more than willing, and soon James is pressed bodily to the wall, his blood thrumming with need and desire made sharper by the alcohol and the absolutely wicked things his partner is doing with his own hips.

A small part of James's brain tells him he'll regret this in the morning, but that small part can sod off, because the papers can't print anything worse than that fucking photoshoot last year. Let them tell their stories. Let them paint this portrait of him.

At least James will have earned it this time.

THANKS FOR PLAYING, LOVE 💜💜

Dont hate me but the H's photoshoot was really pretty and my god those dresses so divinely beautiful and his hair was just 🥺🥺and being the first male on vogue cover is just 🤟🤟 but the interview....I just found it ~repetitive~,apart from a few things here and there most of it is what he's already said before

1.no talk about his actual relationships while being cryptic about finding love(they're not imposing the womanizer image anymore right??)

4.really loves Tokyo

2.he!!was!! in!! LA!!with!! friends!! grrr

3.had to reassure that yes he loves the boys and 1D and still in touch with them(much to his present teams frustration I presume seeing how hell bent they are in separating him from them)

5.spoke about how they recorded on the road in 1d and how he got actual studio time with HS and FL

10. Feeling at home in london and how LA is just a vacation spot

6.he was really scared and uptight about HS and he was more free on FL

7.loves being on tour and cant wait to do it again post covid

8.chidhood growing up,leading to xfactor and being put in the band 9.18 mOnThS🙂🙂 in a FrIenDs hOuSe and 'oOpSie better not show up drunk there hehe' although I thought it was weird that he mentioned Ben's name and his wife's name in the other article but here it was friend and friend's wife ,the cocaine or going home thingy 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ just anything to prove he was not with lou,right anyways..

11. People find him to be a gentleman and very polite and humble (felt like a proud mummy after this hehe I imagine anne is puffing with pride☺☺)

12.hes very open to trying new things out fashion wise

16. Bromance between him and Michele and him and harry lambert is UwU

17.clothing has no gender,he doesnt diffrentiate between men or women's clothing

15.dunkirk and how it was a big thing regardless of his contribution to it and that he considered it a privilege to have been a part of (got new info on how Olivia wilde was pumped to have him on DWD,which was yayyy 🙌🙌)

13.loves dressing up since he was a kid (got new info about the 'world cup mug' and the dalmatian and cruella de vil which made me chuckle😝😝)

14.gem talking about him mimicking elvis and how he was shy to sing infront of an audience

18."he has an army of mini purses 🥺🥺🥺" (while mentioning only a 'sky blue gucci diana bag with his initials on it😏😏)

Things that made me deadpan about how loud he was being lol-

19.blue dress with ruffles,black lace and ribbon which are a mesmerizing blend of naivety and quiet seduction (god hes obsessed isnt he?? Cant blame him tho)

20.singing ABBA eh? Where oh where have we heard of yet another man speaking so passionately about ABBA I wonder..

21. The 'yes daddy I love him' shirt makes a reappearance and has no mention in the article while so many other outfits were spoken of(sure!! let's just brush this off shall we?)

22.singing only that verse of cherry(pretty sure he got so many solos blood pumping cause of it and they're just about foaming at the mouth to pounce on us)

23.he mentioned Prince,David Bowie,Elton John,Freddie Mercury and Elvis being inspirational and loud with their outfits and how he doesn't feel crazy wearing something flamboyant....how much more must he spell it for you??

24.Is constantly being ushered from place to place and albeit doesnt like being alone but also enjoys people not knowing where he is that it's a form of freedom and escape and water is very cleansing(tired tired sea anyone??)

Call it what you want but this is just what they're projecting him to be, I'm not saying that he isnt this version of him but nowadays I feel that everthing they're churning out has the same things over and over again to reinforce the timeline and repetition of the same thing hits the nail on that coffin

Yes he finds comfort in clothes,yes he is a gentleman,yes he is humble and polite, yes he is the perfect modern rockstar who is in every way worthy of being dubbed as such cause he has those qualities inculcated in him while being in touch with both his masculinity and femininity doesnt scare him but everything I see in the media about him and anything about or related to him is just 'harry styles' and it's all just a brand now. I'm happy on one hand that we got new content but then again it wasn't anything new or anything that didn't reinforce the image they're trying to built around him.I cannot help being reminded of that part 'this is us' and how he talks about how "being famous takes away a lot of substance from who you are as a person" and how people are always labeling his life and all this brings out the painfully obvious parallels with tired tired sea

You cant convince me otherwise of him not having read TTS or Y&B

To me this article just polished what already is a clear glass closet
