[cosmicallyavg]

okay okay i didnt want to fully hijack someone else’s post but i saw this ask 

and these tags in a reblog of the ask from @inlovewithanathemadevice 

and imagined up something really heartbreaking so im gonna write it for you all to see 🥲

so all i can think is how it can be like a direct parallel to when ten carried donna to her doorstep and just the sad "help me" when wilf opened the door?? okay hear me out  

like the doctor gets hurt somehow and knows shes dying so she tells yaz to get away so she can find somewhere safe since theyre away from the tardis.

(maybe dan is there as well? but i kinda imagine this whole scenario to be with no dan?? idk he can be there too if he wants its not that big of a deal i just dont want to have to juggle more characters if i dont have to) (like idk if he’d really do much other than support yaz through the aftermath but i digress)

yaz absolutely will not leave the doctor and will not have any of her nonsense and drags her back to her family's flat because they're close by despite the doctor’s protests - she hopes no one is home because how would she explain what's going on, she hardly even knows what's going on

she's fumbling with the key trying to get the door open but najia hears the commotion and opens the door to yaz sobbing and the doctor looking in a bad way. theres a beat where she just stands in silence, unsure what to do.

yaz is confused, upset, panicking. she’s maybe a bit more harsh with her mum than she normally would be

“either help me or get out of the way, mum”

obviously najia lets them in but she hasn't seen yaz in a year or so and wants to demand explanation but also her daughter’s weird friend probably needs medical attention. yaz insists she not call an ambulance and that everything will be okay but clearly not because the woman looks like she's dying

they guide the doctor to the sofa, neither of them know what to do. but the doctor is trying to explain everything, how she is actively dying and is going to change. how it’s very dangerous and destructive and she shouldnt be in their flat, but more importantly that neither of them should be this close when the regeneration actually happens.

yaz’s mum doesn’t even know the doctor is an alien, all of this information just sounds like a bunch of nonsense, but yaz insists she will explain when everything is over, but right now isn’t a good time obviously

the doctor gives her best attempt at a speech, thanking yaz for everything she's done and how she's helped her grow etc etc. she tells najia she raised a wonderful woman who is smart and brave etc etc. in which she still doesn't get any explanation on who the doctor is/what she is/how yaz knows her/what their relationship is like. 

the doctor knows its coming, she tells everyone to back away and yaz of course refuses, but i think a callback to arachnids where yaz tells her mum that she "owes the doctor her life a few times over" would be super heartbreaking so im going to include it

"yaz you don't owe me your life, you don't owe me anything but please don't make me push you away again. please just get away."

people want their first and only kiss to be during the doctors regeneration so that would fit here!!! obv i would love for them to kiss before this but either way you could fit a kiss in here okay.... like the doctor has admitted her admiration for yaz and its a heat of the moment thing where yaz is going to lose her so she just goes in for it??? its short and desperate and everything is bathed in a golden light (it could have similar visuals to nine’s regen 👀) and its beautiful and sad and painful. yaz has to force herself to back away just in time for the regeneration to happen

also if they kiss like right in front of najia it would be fun bc she clocked them back in series 11 and yaz denied it so hard. jfhsjfh esp if dan is there because he would literally cheer them on fsjdfjjkj

okay okay so the regeneration has happened... 

yaz didnt know what to expect but there’s literally a different person sitting in the spot the doctor was just in. she can put two and two together but that doesnt make her any less confused. new doctor says funny introduction line like always. yaz and her mum share a confused look. end of episode.

next episode we start back on the sofa, maybe some of the flat is a little destroyed but its fine, everythings fine. new doctor is high on regeneration energy, yaz and mum still super confused. new doctor starts walking around, being clumsy, etc. we get the usual hijinks where the doctor doesnt know who they are, doesnt know who their companion is, and just needs to sleep. 

yaz of course i think would react similarly to rose where she kinda doesnt believe its the doctor, but more than anything is like.. hurt and confused that this doctor is not the same as her doctor. her mum has SO MANY questions, naturally. her first of course being “did you just kiss the doctor? so i was right you ARE seeing each other.”

while the doctor sleeps somewhere, yaz and najia sit down and have a long conversation about the doctor and who she was/who they are now, why they changed, where yaz has been this whole time, etc., if we imagine dan in this scenario she would DEFINITELY ask about him.. like last time you brought your friends around there was a different old man what is this about.

like her mum deserves an explanation after so long without yaz around and why she ruined her prospects with the police for some alien who just died on their couch????? 

i really dont know how to end this but thats really only as far as im planning this in my head bc otherwise ill write a whole episode

idk just..... i am so vividly imagining this and i needed everyone to hear my thoughts. i just know the regeneration is going to be super painful regardless so i might as well make my own sad rendition. 

okay thank you for listening bye

rosa salt commentary

apologies i don’t know enough on this topic so i can’t comment on the historical accuracy of this

first of all why the fuck is chibnall here? what the fuck does a white man have to say about the 1950s american civil rights movement that a black woman couldn’t say on her own. this is not your story to tell chibnall

out of the 4 episodes written by pocs, 3 of them are co-written with chibnall, idk about you but i think i would just trust these people to be able to write a script on their own. the way chibnall has to to stick his fingers in all the pies writing 75% of the stories in his era is extremely territorial.

at least they have a black director as well

according the tardis wiki this is the first episode to feature a historical figure since day of the doctor (im guessing this excludes robin hood) i actually never noticed this, that’s crazy

on iplayer there’s a subtitle which reads ‘in this episode, there are familiar prejudices to face for the doctor’s friends’ which is weirdest fucking content warning ive seen. like im not expert but surely you’d put something like ‘this episode contains themes of racism’

it’s very funny that it’s still the doctor that initiates going outside to have look, rather than any of the companions being enthusiastic that they’re actually in a time machine. again none of them give any motivation why they wish to travel with the doctor

pet peeve of mine is when the companions don’t dress in periodic clothing, that’s part of the fun!! i don’t think they do at all this season which is super disappointing

hey remember when a series ago the doctor full on floors a racist bc he dared insult bill, now the doctor immediately submits ‘we don’t want any trouble’ jc how far we have fallen

its really awful how they treat ryan as being in wrong. when rosa asks ‘are you crazy?’ the doctor doesn’t even defend ryan she just tries to excuse it with ‘we’re from out of town’

omg once again, ryan and yaz experience racism and the doctor just completely rolls over, someone call 12, this is an embarrassment.

‘shut up graham i don’t care that you’re hungry’ honestly this running joke of not letting graham eat isn’t funny, it just makes it look like the doctor is really inconsiderate and bad at looking after their companions. again why would you want to travel with this woman???

they continue on like graham is in the wrong. no he isn’t, he needs to fucking eat, that’s not an immoral thing

i just thought i should tally the amount of times the doctor uses the sonic, okays so we’re are at 4

the doctor is really hostile to graham, he raised reasonable concern that there might be a weapon in the bag and the doctor so snarky towards him

honestly the doctor looking at the bag whilst the rest of them stand behind her really shows their dynamic for the whole of this, it also just looks very unnatural

well at least space racist can’t aim

god chibnall really can’t do any way to do exposition without just word vomiting to audience

i hate 13’s interrogation technique where she just asks question after question whilst the antagonist replies to none of them

im sorry but what group of people stand like that??

‘ma’am still can’t get use to that’ you know the doctor doesn’t have to identity as woman, they can identity as any gender they wish. The way the doctor’s gender is treated is so cis-centric. the doctor never discusses their gender and how they wish to be addressed, they just treat it as because a female actress is playing the doctor, the doctor would automatically identify as a woman which is just completely untrue!! would these writers like to take a gender theory class???

‘i did not warm to him’ yeah no shit he’s a cop

ah yaz’s ‘not all cops’ line, no wonder she’s people’s fave so inspirational

‘i can be a police officer now so I can now go and oppress other people’ ah yes equality

i still can’t believe when yaz is talking about race and questioning where she could sit the doctor just straight up says fuck all

wow these are some really close closeups

‘You’re living in the past’ um racism was still bad then. it’s not the idea that racism ‘belongs’ in the past it’s that it should never have existed at all

at least ryan has the guts to actually deal with villain this episode

the worst part of this is the fucking pop song they play. it doesn’t fit in with doctor who at all this isn’t the fucking cw. why not just have no music playing at all, it could just be as impactful

they just causally ignore MLK’s assassination like it didn’t happen

oh no the song’s worse the second time round

the doctor uses the sonic 8 times if anyone’s interested

i feel like rosa doesn’t get much to do (in the episode itself i mean) compared to other historical figures in their episode, most of time they actually get to join in with the adventure but idk

wait hang on thinking abt this again

jasminum officinale, yasmin, national flower of pakistan, favourite of her grandmother bc first granddaugher symbol of a new life built in exotic sheffield, runs from home and family guilty in search of a challenge that would allow her to prove herself, to help someone, to be useful

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

having funnn im having fun

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

dan and 13s relationship is funny bc, okay im definitely probably making the doctor slightly more hostile than she is/would be in canon bc of whump purpose circumstances (shes mean when shes being poisoned) however, it still is the case that they have had like, two conversations one-on-one in canon? at the end of 13x2 when theyre gonna save yaz - the extent of which is "this is a trap. we have to get yaz. do as i say" - and then eotd "she like likes you"

theres a few more where they have a conversation with other people also there. if we take those into account it's like:

1 - end of 13x1 "sorry heres your house. also im now involving you in saving the universe nope not optional sorry again"

2 - end of 13x2 "karvanista im taking your guy"

3 - still end of 13x2 "we're saving yaz. this is definitely a trap. do as i say"

4 - 13x3 "sorry youre lost in your own timestream but im fixing it dont worry"

5 - end of 13x3 "do as youre fucking told i told you to do as youre told rule 1 do as i say!!!"

*interlude where dan lives 3 years of his life in the 20th century* this would not have happened if he hadnt gone with the doctor in 13x2. becomes good friends with yaz tho. he has had well counted 5 interactions with the doctor. you can barely call them conversations. hes mostly just been ordered around. even jericho has spent more indepth time with her being stuck in that house surrounded by angels. 5 interactions. now 3 years with yaz. okay just wanted to make that clear. back to the program

6 - 13x6 "hi dan, since youve had such a great time in my blue box and also coincidentally do not have a house, wanna come spend some more time in my blue box? oh i also have yaz here that might be convincing"

7 - eotd first time dan initiates. "i'll go distract that second dalek while you two figure out how to solve all this"

8 - eotd second time dan initiates! on a roll! "she like likes you". or perhaps the more important point: "you know exactly what youre doing with her"

9 - lotsd "your clothes oh my god what are you thinking". first conversation that feels like it involves all three of them and is not two-of-them-talking-and-one-standing-by. gives a GREAT impression of the doctor-companion hierarchy at play. "yaz did you dress dan up like this??"

10 - lotsd "dont diss dan, dans my mate!" echoing yaz in eotd. another good picture of the doctor-companion hierarchy

the fic im writing is set between lotsd and potd so this is the space im interested in rn but for the sake of completeness:

11 - potd dan iniating for the third&last time: "im out ✌️"

so heres my interpretation of their relationship right. i think 13x5 is a tipping point. before 13x5 they Do Not know each other. at all. dan is barely more than another "lad who ive not even met yet". shes met dan, but thats kind of it

up to 13x5 the only interactions dan has with the doctor are being ordered around and being invited on board. this is also still true up to 13x6 but by then he has extensive secondhand experience of her through yaz

crucial that for the doctor in 13x6 wrt dan nothing has changed. he has a fairly good impression of who she is at this point, i think. their firsthand interactions on the other hand still only consist of ordering around and being invited on board

so 13x5 first flipping point. second flipping point is eotd because now dan starts iniating conversations, and not just conversations but really like kinda deep ones too. seeing as their interactions up to that point consisted of "do as i say" and "come aboard my tardis" this must really, like, threedimensionalise both of them to each other. bc so far both of their impressions of each other are mainly through yaz. dans idea of the doctor is through yaz and to the doctor i think dan is mostly just a friend to yaz

but here in eotd they start getting glimpses of each other firsthand, or at least the doctor gets some of dan, dan had already some of the doctor (see: ordered around), and i think this is why i tend to gravitate to making 13 fairly hostile toward him. it's also bc i put her in vulnerable positions where she will be more hostile to everyone, but i also can imagine he poses a bit of a threat to her. the first real thing he ever said to her was directly attacking like her main emotional defenses that shes held for 5+prison years years. i dont think she would be overtly hostile, i think she'd just make sure to keep yaz between them as a buffer, not to be in a room alone with him

similarly i cant imagine dan has all that great of an impression of her! he met her psychologically not in a great place, not exactly nice to anyone really, shes ordered him to shut up and follow more than shes had a real conversation with him, AND hes seen yaz Like That for 3 years and then the doctor Like That for a week and immediately decided to intervene. i dont think he thinks shes nice! because she hasnt really been

so the point im trying to get to is - idk if i had one but - they both have a close relationship with yaz, but i dont think theyre like, comfortable roommates necessarily. i think theyre friendly, sure, but i also think they have never really been in a room alone together. i think they keep yaz as a buffer between them and then are polite and friendly, but i dont think they like each other, actually. at all. i cant imagine they do.

and if youre thinking about scenes where the doctors vulnerable, which i do bc i like using the space between lotsd and potd to upset her, then i think they both would try to make sure that dan never has to see her in distress. like i think you could make a comparison between the scenes at the end of 11x2 where first the fam sees her super upset and then when yaz comments on it in the tardis she brushes it off and the fam kinda takes that as a boundary that they try not to cross (until like s12 comes around and it becomes almost impossible bc things are so obviously wrong) AND the scenes in eotd where first dan is like "do something about yaz" and then when yaz asks about what the doctor meant abt her actions catching up with her, the doctor looks at dan there and goes ":) nothing :)"

anyway i dont have a real point this is just vibes bc of course i put them in a room alone together and made them talk so i had thoughts. dont know if theyre good. but their relationship is fucking weird. honestly like if dan is a doctor mirror then youve got the doctor here going "do not get emotionally involved with me!" and dan going "i wasnt planning on it!"

everything dan says in his goodbye to the doctor he actually says to yaz. like you should just swap them out. because yaz is the doctor to his companion. dan&doctor is not a doctor-companion relationship thats the core of it. but then the question is, what the fuck is it

i'll end with this shot i just randomly paused on bc it captures my feelings on the situation fhjhgjkhg

who the fuck are you

[higheldertala]

the woman who fell to earth salt commentary

you know when your nan dies so you upload a youtube video titled ‘hey’

a minute in and this is so funny already

bit a dick move just leaving ryan there but alright we need the plot to progress i guess

it looks pretty but i would never take style over substance

ew cop companion, we hadn’t had a cop companion in 55 years why would we need one now?

i mean shes also 19 i don’t believe people would take her that seriously, and honestly if it had been presented as that it would have been a lot better for her character

also isn’t she in training? why would she be on her own

i just think something more interesting than electric coils could have been used

omg why are they using the theme tune?? no no noooo stop why wouldn’t you just give the doctor her own theme music to play

glad ryan and yaz found the train very quickly and conveniently to pop up just in time for plot

omg ryan and yaz just arrived and the doctor like ‘you’re fucking useless’

saying ‘my friends call me x’ to a stranger is a weird introduction but who knows maybe she introduces herself like that to everyone

‘i’m calling you yaz cause we’re friends’ ugh cringe don’t make friends with cops

‘fam’ ugh double cringe

‘has anyone seen anything strange?’ we need to progress the plot to the next scene somehow

having the target be some rando instead of one the four potential companions is baffling, that way they’d actually be involved in the plot not just there

some more fucking rando characters we don’t care about, literally this guy has 4 scenes. does chibnall understand he’s got a doctor and 3 companions to establish.

‘i’ll search for weird stuff on social media’ 😂😂😂 at least i can laugh at this

‘it’s the night shift in sheffield everything’s out of the ordinary’ umm yes comedy i guess

‘no don’t wake me up yet’ well we’ve got more plot to do so

‘shut the fuck up graham i don’t care if you’ve got a bomb in you’

there no clear reason why ryan, grace, graham and yaz are just happily following the doctor without questioning anything

‘now you’re all running at it’ graham really is best part of this but yknow low bar and all

the guy goes my sister disappears then the doctor picks up a photo and says ‘she was his family’ like yeah no shit 😂😂😂😂 this dialogue man

the constant exposition dumping is awful already

‘again shut the fuck up graham i don’t care if you’ve got a bomb in you’

‘eat my salad halloween’ imagine being in doctor who and those were your lines

they should just commit to the amnesia plot line cause then at least it would explain the poor characterisation

‘we pronounce a name wrong haha comedy’

ryan proper just googled how to operate a crane 😂

the way the problem is solved off screen is simply not satisfying storytelling

grace stopping the coils and dying seems pointless honestly, all the coils have done is switch off the power i don’t understand what the further danger was, also shouldn’t the coils have been stopped why tzim-sha detonated the bombs???

‘you had no right to do that’ i mean he was gonna ‘kill’ him so yeah i think he did. and the doctor just implanted bombs into him so what the fuck is this morality system??

‘shut up about your cancer graham we don’t fucking care!’ why does graham want to travel with the doctor again they all treat him like shit, i can’t believe they just changed the conversation like that

when someone says ‘oh i should have died instead bc im the one the cancer’ any fucking decent person would have gone ‘no graham you don’t deserve to die, that’s not how that works’

‘graham shut up i don’t fucking care you have cramp’

id still like to know how they survived being in the vacuum of space

lol what a thrilling coming soon trailer
