there is indeed something darkly amusing that in this modern era where people will genderflip established characters for remakes or for SF Plot Reasons we at last have multiple tests of the old fandom lament that "It's just that none of the women in anything are interesting characters. i'd LOVE it if this fave character of mine was a woman! he's not and he never will be but in that hypothetical scenario that nobody will ever actually confront me with I would LOVE that woman! SO MUCH! But conveniently alas it shall never be!"

#btw if anyone's wondering i generally just leave the 13th doctor alone because while i am content with my own disinterest she does in wider #fandom spaces attract a lot of people complaining about a woman doing anything at all ever.#(similarly i am well aware that Jo Martin's Doctor is essentially a guest star without enough actual screentime to make viewers have to #accept her as the main character every week and so “oh but i love HER!” is a more loaded statement than it may at first glance appear)#just as an FYI before someone can point out that somehow my main blorbo being a woman didn't work for me (i know and i am still bitter)
