#TheDoctor

Something old,

Something new,

Something borrowed,

Something blue.

A new season, a new Doctor, a new companion... same old Tardis 💙

Are you excited? ✨

Studios so so often mistake what people actually like and want. But. There's only one instance I can think of that perfectly nails what the fans are like.

And it's this one:

This. This right here.

Everything about it is perfect.

Now I know RTD isn't some godlike writer. He has his flaws, like everyone else. BUT. What he can do effortlessly is understand humans.

"Why are you so good Agatha Christie?"

One of the reasons the first few seasons are so good is because of the humanity the characters are displaying. Not just the main characters, but background characters, ones who we will only see for about five seconds and then never show up again. A prime example being: "I don't want my name on this, given what we're about to do" It tells you so much about that character, his personality, his choices, his values.

He understands people. And you just don't see that often, especially not now that companies are more focused on cashgrab movies than actually putting soul into their work. Because that's fundamentally what RTD is so goddamn good at. He understands his character's psychology so well. He understands how REAL people will react and how REAL people will feel. His personalisation is so layered that you're often left stumped. "Wait, that's actually how someone would react. Wow, I wouldn't even think of that."

The gif above is a prime example of how beautifully Doctor Who understood its audience. It understands that in front of the TV, it isn't a person who just wants to see explosions and CGI, or people getting undressed or having sex, or crazy action scenes.

No.

Doctor Who understands that in front of that TV... is a kid.

No matter what age you are, 10 or 20 or 60, the child in you is the part of you that is watching the show. It's that little naive innocent person that is sitting on the couch hugging their knees and watching that silly little man run around. That silly little man on the screen that has one purpose, to make you laugh. To make you giggle. To make you smile.

Because that little kid, who is so so afraid of the world and who doesn't know what to do, who only has one source of happiness, only one person who feels safe. That kid... is me.

That's ME every single time I watch this show.

The person in front of the TV is a kid looking for comfort. And that silly little man who goes on adventures and takes care of his friends and helps people and meets cool aliens, is the one who delivers that comfort.

And you just... can't help but love them.

It's not about quality or budget. It's about love.

Give this pic a like if you see it to justify the effort. It's taken me over a week to find all of the pieces for the TARDIS interior.

2016 me was definitely short sighted in my storage methods 😂🤣.

like yes the doctor is asexual but he’s also a slut🤷🏼‍♀️

[reincarnatedonthefirst]

The gross doctor from last night wants to schedule another session with me at the end of November. It’s flattering. He must have really enjoyed himself. But I’m not looking forward to seeing that freak show again.

It's a good thing humans can't regenerate because I would have a bad day and just..........

Basically the ending I pretended happened in my head after watching POTD. My 2am attempt at giving the Doctor closure on her regeneration and giving Yaz some healing while staying in canon.

KOLLOKTOBER 2023! Not spoiler friendly.

9. ascend & favorite antagonist.

MAN, this one was tough. i love a lot of the antags, i count the billy’s and tibby from season three as an antag as he was pointed to be in a more antagonist role towards the radar.

though, the traveler i also love. hera i hated so much cause i need me a villain who has more to them than just being pure evil.

Bitches be like "I'm not non binary I relate to this male character too much I'm obviously a transman" then the "man" in question isn't even a man
