Happy pride month to these two with whatever they had going on

I feel like this dialogue couplet is a meta message, too, from the show to viewers, especially in the context of an episode so prominently featuring a trans character. This is what Doctor Who is about now. This is what we're going to be talking about going forward, and we're going to be talking about it openly.

It echoes an earlier moment in "The Day of the Doctor" when the War Doctor (the bridge between the S1 Doctors and S2 Doctors) is taken aback to see 10 snogged by Queen Elizabeth and asks, "Is there a lot of this in the future?" and Eleven replies, "It does start to happen, yeah." Because when S2 featured romantic love and sexuality involving the Doctor themself, it was a shift in subject matter and treatment, and it occasioned comment from the show's audience.

And now we are past starting to happen, and "Wild Blue Yonder" seeks to make that as loud and as clear as possible, repeatedly. Donna's reply, "It was never that far from the surface, mate," is also as much a message to the audience as to her friend. If you thought Doctor Who wasn't about human rights and telling enforced gender and gender roles to go fuck themselves, you have not been paying attention all this time.

Is that who I am now?

This is so powerful because queerness has always been in Doctor Who and FINALLY the Doctor themself can say it out loud. But at the same time, the way it's phrased in a way that makes their orientation and preferences always malleable, always changing.

Because the one thing the Doctor always is? QUEER. 🏳️‍🌈

The Doctor is ace (as said by David Tennant and Matt Smith and Jon Pertwee). They are demi. They are gay. They're bi. They're pan. They're fluid. Their orientation is all and both and neither. They are INEFFABLE at the core of their romantic and sexual being.

Is it just me or does this line hit different when you remember that David Tennant actually has a non-binary kid who uses they/them pronouns, and has worn this non-binary rainbow pin to a bunch of interviews in support of them—?

[Update] David Tennant continues his trend of being a trans ally respectful & supportive of non-binary people & gender neutral pronouns in the Doctor Who Special: The Star Beast (2023)

Hey, I know everything sucks ABSOLUTE ASS right now, (although, I'd honestly prefer sucking ass to this) but please know that there are still good people in the world. I'm not great with words, and I dont know how good I am at making people feel better, but just know there ARE people out there who love you and support you, even if you dont know them.

Please don’t go away. I know everyone thinks they won, but the only way they could completely win is if you disappear. And you’re still here!! You beautiful, gorgeous human being thing, you!! So please keep going and keep fighting

also, if there are other flags that were not included in this post, please reblog or comment with the flag you'd want and I'll happily make one and tag you in the post! It literally takes 5 seconds, so I'd be more than happy to!

anyways, we will be okay, and just know that I am so proud of you for still being here ❤️

(and so are they ⬆️)

We'll be okay.

neil gaiman and RTD are absolute legends for being the showrunners of 2 mainstream shows funded by large production companies in the year 2023, and proceeding to make the most queer positive episodes ever seen by man

meanwhile david tennant is just vibrating with joy because he gets more opportunities to wear his one-thousand-and-twenty-four pride pins
