people are saying he « led her on » because he did. the fact that he kissed her in the first episode set the tone for the rest of the season and if you can’t perceive the flirting I’m sorry but how?? he didn’t make anything clear he sent the craziest mixed signals in the world. there’s nothing revolutionary about claiming that Martha was being pushy toward someone who was clearly not interested it’s 1) weird to claim in what it suggests about her 2) factually not true.

I wasn’t gonna respond to this at first because the top half of this ask is pretty much just individual interpretation and I don’t really care about it. Like, no, to me, the Doctor doesn’t seem especially flirty towards Martha. He’s just sort of Like That. That’s his damage, you know, Mr. I need to traumadump on anyone who tolerates being around me for more than five minutes. Mr. If I don’t develop an intensely codependent emotional bond with the companion I have currently I’ll die. It doesn’t read to me as him trying to lead her on because that bit’s honest, and he does it with damn near every companion he’s ever had.

And if nothing else, because we do see Ten when he tries to flirt intentionally and he’s a fuckin dork about it. Kind of guy who looked up romance in the dictionary and took notes. Kinda guy who draws diagrams to maximize kissing potential. It would have been obvious even to me (<- romance-blind as all fuck) if he was flirting with Martha on purpose because he’s not smooth at all; he flirts like he’s gotten lines in a play and he’s super excited to be the main star.

But anyway, as I was saying, that’s just how I see it. And if you see it different, no skin off my back, I just disagree.

But I take umbrage with you putting words in my mouth. I never said Martha was pushy towards him. Because yeah, she’s not. If I implied that she was, then it was a result of poor phrasing on my part. Martha’s not at fault for what she feels, for wanting there to come something of it. No more at fault than the Doctor is for not returning those feelings. It’s a bit weird that you’re assuming that I think one of them has to be the bad guy here when that was the opposite of what I was saying. My point was: When it comes to their romantic subtext of their relationship, it’s weird to pretend like either of them are to blame for them not being in a relationship at the end of s3, and even weirder to assert that as part of why Martha supposedly wouldn’t like the Doctor afterwards when they’re. friends. they continue to be friends into s4.

Martha’s not pushy. She has a crush on her friend. It happens. He doesn’t return it. This also happens. Both of these facts are pushed to the extreme because he’s a time-traveling alien with poor emotional skills and she’s put herself in the position of needing to help him from minute one of meeting each other. That’s why it’s fun to watch, because the Doctor is both so open and so unavailable in turns, because Martha’s feelings for him grow and change as she knows more about her Doctor until she decides to step back.

I don’t know, man. You seem to be coming at this as if one of them has to be The Problem™️. I don’t think either of them is, not so definitively. I think boiling their relationship down to that is reductive and an insult to the way they both grow over s3, to Martha’s choice to continue to be his friend while also establishing her own boundaries, to the fact that the Doctor is able to let her go without immediately trying to kill himself afterwards when she’s not there to catch him.

Do you wanna come to my to my lecture where I tell you all about the deleted scenes of series 10 and how the first half of them are 12Clara?

And the last 2 are Michelle Gomez as Missy being a menace during World Enough and Time

Also Bill ... (I can never say how much I love Bill in one post)

I've been noticing that, in like fic and analysis and stuff, sometimes people paint yaz as an adrenaline junkie who loves travelling with the doctor for the thrill and danger of it, and that she will throw caution to the wind or take risky gambles for the rush of it paying off. I don't 100% agree with that interpretation of her, but I think I know why it happens.

Number one: she's very much a mirror to the doctor, and the doctor is often painted as an adrenaline junkie who can't stand boringness and is sorta hooked to the danger of her lifestyle (which, yeah, she is, especially 13 with her tendency to taunt villains)

And number two: the other big doctor mirror, Clara, was 100% painted as an adrenaline junkie who gambled with her own life (and lost). And it's easy to portray yaz similarly, because they go through similar (but very different) arcs of becoming more doctor like.

Imo Yaz is much more into the travelling and saving the day for the responsibility of it all, for feeling useful and capable and good. Her complaining about not having more interesting jobs as a cop wasn't her wanting more danger, it was her wanting more responsibility, she wanted to be important and helpful (that's the entire reason she became a cop, to help people like she was helped). And that's reflected in her arc, what she wants out of travelling with the doctor and what she gets out of becoming The Doctor. She learns to fly the TARDIS, she becomes capable and confident, able to hold her own in the past and lead her own companions. and in the end she rescues the Doctor herself with a plan SHE came up with, and she can help bystanders too (I love the blink and you'll miss it moment in potd where she's helping injured people on the space train).

To bring back the Clara parallel, because I like looking at our two big "become the doctor" arcs next to each other. Clara also got what she wanted/idolized in The Doctor out of her arc, she got the bravery and the boldness, and the ability to bluff and cheat and gamble. And the rush of the freedom of time travel. But I don't think she ever learned how to fly the doctors tardis, because that wasn't what she needed.

Tbh I think their different approaches to being/travelling with The Doctor can be summarized with Clara's "I do have a hobby, it's you by the way" vs yaz introducing herself via her title to dan and vinder (former pc with hallamshire police)

To Clara it's a game, a hobby, a thrilling way to live. To yaz its a calling, a profession, a life's mission. (Although, she definitely has issues with losing herself in that job at her mental/physical expense. Ex: her self neglect over that ten months trying to learn how to use the TARDIS and save the doctor )

[nightmanatee]

forgetting clara fucked up the doctor so much. so much. like twelve got the memories of her after at least a century of almost completely forgetting of clara's existence so that thirteen could never let yaz forget her. never let yaz see how she forgets herself (when becoming a complete stranger). and to let her remember THIS doctor. her doctor.

The older I get the more I like The Day of The Doctor. Is there still stuff that is abjectly terrible? Yes. They did Billie piper so wrong. But overall I like it more.

now I'm looking in the mirror- you made me vain, I can't believe I have to be her

ranch chores

in the

aching freeze

and early dark

of wyoming’s

december

probably shouldn’t

be

this.

this peace

this wonder

this magic.

but they are

and

maybe

it’s his doing.

maybe

it’s the width

of his

shoulders

covered in the familiar

shade

of blue carhartt

cut out stark and strong

against

the snow’s fresh

blanket

moonlight white.

nut brown hair

curls out

under his hand-knit cap

a gift from her mom.

or perhaps

the magic of right now

lingers

hanging

in the air

with their breath

puffy clouds

as they talk and work

plan together

small talk and dreams

quietly trusting

easy.

tender familiarity

is peace

she’s learned

so has he.

bells

clear and sweet

mingle

with cattle noise.

looking up

she spies them

and

the mistletoe

nailed on a barn beam

no doubt

a sweet scheme

of his.

sure enough

he pins her

grinning

“caught’ya.”

whiskey and

gingerbread

flavor

the kiss

a spicy

warming

burn.

a calf bawls

she laughs

he echoes

the ranch

always calling.

what does it mean when

you’ve found

your favorite soul?

magic.

work done

their home glowing

golden

bright

beckons them back

yet they linger

gloved fingers

squeeze.

taking in

the winter wonder

of tonight.

they’re happy.

Let me build a house in the forest for you, Newfoundland, Canada

This trail gets so gorged with water and slimu that they've build this little path of wood along most of it to avoid struggling through the mud ; the wood sometimes looks slippery and unstable, and yet it resists and takes you through the trees to meadows and coves.

What do these characters have in common?

[gundamcalibarney]

felt like doing another pass on the olue-orng duo of all time 👍🏼

Such a strange adventure this middle aged woman has with this weirdly snippy recently activated UNIT who is totally unrelated to this figure skater who’s the nephew of her mentors but ah well there’s a malware problem that needs tending to so they gotta focus on that (the horrors then proceed to ensue).

[leatherforhell]

one more thing but so many of these bingo cards have protective/jealous/possessive on them and while Clara is very protective it’s more of a mama bear feeling than possessiveness and she’s not going to feel jealous basically ever
