Sutekh is a Whovian, to me...

My favorite thing about this scene personally is that the Doctor was fully able to speak, but instead of directly telling Donna what he needs, he decides to make fun of her answers and I think that is peak sibling dynamic

"We can go off together"

We were all thinking it, when this scene appeared in the 60th Doctor Who episode "The Giggles"

"Context:

This image depicts the demon Crowley played by David Tennant from Good Omens sitting next to his "husband" the angel Aziraphale played by Michael Sheen from Good Omens. They are watching the 14th Doctor from Doctor Who deliver a line that Crowley repeatedly asked his Angel.

It's a cute show."

Things that both happen in the same episode of doctor who

(content warning for dark humour and references to various morbid topics)

1.A thoughtful and moving depiction of suicidal depression/The Doctor fights a giant invisible chicken

2.An iraq war allegory involving aliens that cut off human skin and wear it/those aliens also fart a lot and laugh about it

3.The Doctor is tortured for billions of years in a metaphor for the incremental nature of moving on from grief/doors are revealed to be canonically sentient and mad at everyone and the doctor makes a psychic link with one

4.The Doctor grapples with the consequences of abandoning his friend because he cannot face the inevitability of her death/aliens make kids into geniuses by feeding them french fries fried in space oil so they can hack into the universe, they are then killed by said french fry oil

5.A man must deal with his loved one's inevitable death from a terminal illness/the doctor flys a sleigh pulled by a flying shark while wearing a santa hat

6.The Doctor accidentally causes his companion to be killed then brought back only to be trapped in a dystopia for ten years mutilated and dehumanized/missy dabs

7.The endpoint of the human race is revealed to be them mutilating themselves putting their heads in spheres and sadistically murdering other humans for fun/The Doctor becomes tinkerbell jesus

8.The Doctor admits that he's seen so many people die that he's lost count and become numb to it/the villains evil plan revolves around burning a sea monsters poop as fuel

9.The Doctor grapples with the ethical implications of the death penalty/a farting alien tries to blow up a town and then escape on a space surfboard

10.The Doctor abandons his companion for 30 years and then erases a version of her from existence against her will/a robot is killed by getting hit on the head by a replica of the mona lisa

I’m a doctor. I’m a time lord. I’m from the planet Gallifrey on the constellation of Kasterborous. I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in and I don’t wanna fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid phone box? That’s weird.

when the Doctor goes to the Powell Estate on New Year’s Eve as he’s dying, he asks Rose what year it is. all of the other visits were so calculated. he saves Mickey and Martha on a distant planet, just in the nick of time. he swats Luke out of the road before a car comes. he goes back in time and finds Geoffrey Noble, borrowing a quid, and gives Wilf a winning lottery ticket worth millions. he caught Donna’s wedding, just as she stepped out of the church.

But Rose. Oh, with Rose.

the Doctor says: “what year is this?” because he doesn’t even know.

do you think he just jammed his hands into the telepathic circuit as his body failed? do you think he just dreamt of her, desperately, the one face he was dying to see? do you think he hoped, prayed, that somehow he’d end up on her doorstep?

and the he’s in an alleyway full of snow. in London. and he knows that building, knows those stairs. and it’s finally snowing, for real this time. and he sees her, doesn’t even mean to speak to her, too afraid of timelines and paradoxes as putting her at risk…

but he’s in pain, and he grunts, and Rose—always ready to help someone in pain—turns around.

and the Doctor says: “what year is this?”

and when Rose says it’s 2005…oh, how his face lights up. It’s all ahead for her. And for him, too. I bet—he says—you’re gonna have a really great year...

Kinda adore the fact that any time the Master comes back to Doctor Who the Doctor basically pauses the story and tells their companions "sorry, gotta deal with some psychosexual romantic drama with my on-and-off-again genderfluid homicidal ex/narrative foil that WILL traumatize you (and your family/boyfriend/loved ones) for the rest of your lives" all the while the companions are literally just the Live Slug meme

If I had a nickel for every time the Doctor had a sassy ginger companion he referred to as his best friend, and then said ginger companion had a daughter whose name begins with R (and was not the name they were born with) and this daughter even though human, has certain time lord characteristics due to complex plot reasons, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Everyone is assuming Rose Noble named herself that because the Ten part of her, inherited by the metacrisis, loved Rose so damn much. And yeah, that might be true or part of it, but let's not forget how significant Rose was to Donna. Because ROSE was the one following Donna from day dot of her adventures with the Doctor. ROSE was the one who sought Donna out in an alternative reality in which Donna had forgotten the Doctor (for the second time, if you count her experience being saved by the Library). ROSE was the one in that reality to tell her she was brilliant and important and belonged with the Doctor, NEEDED to be with The Doctor, AND he needed HER. And ultimately, it was Rose who helped her to get back to him. Rose told her she was brave and capable and could find a way. So while it's possible that Rose Noble named herself after Rose Tyler because Ten loved her so much, it's equally possible that the metacrisis part of Donna that Rose Noble inherited was trying to remind herself/her mother of the weird blonde woman who stalked her across dimensions, insisted that she remember (The Doctor, their adventures together and HER own importance) and returned Donna to her rightful place at the side of The Doctor. The suppressed memory of Rose Tyler inherited by Rose Noble is another indication that Donna Noble wanted to remember, (re)remind herself and return to the Doctor again.
