i literally am inconsolable over this story what is wrong with them. phil enters the room and dan is so excited/taken aback by phil dying his hair that he jolts up so fast that he passes out and punches a lamp and phil, his partner who is aware he has hypotension*, sees this happen and is like "oh i guess dan is just twerking at me" WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU SFADUHJK

Doctor Who "Twice Upon a Time"

Okay crazy that Doctor Who has now created an infinite David Tennant loophole where there can bring him back at any time for any reason 😭

RTD really spent the last episodes of his run saying “everything has its time and everything ends”… just to pull this shit the moment he got back? For no good reason?

just finished matt smith's run as the doctor, still hot off the tails, and as is to be expected, everything that happened to him keeps making me think of nine and ten. i hadn't stopped to consider just how fresh the whole "committing genocide against my own people" thing was for nine. like the amount of High Grade Denial And Suppression he had to have been doing to be as barely functional as he was must have been publishable.

i’m saying i don’t understand the desire to be In A Relationship when you aren’t even imagining a someone to be in that relationship with. that feels like it defeats the purpose, like the same desire as Wanting A Child without actually imagining what that child will be like or require. just filling out a checkbox.

so me and Sam FINALLY watched the last season of Capaldi's Who

and tell me how, after literally over a decade and for perhaps the first time in his fucking career, Steven Moffat wrote a not just tolerable but really actually good two-parter and fully stuck the landing. like the editing and pacing were still a bit off but the storyline was original, fun, interesting and emotionally invested, and most importantly, rather than ending on a damp fart or the most furious autofellatio in history, the final part didn't fumble it and ended in a way that felt emotionally satisfying and like it made sense for the characters. like the last time he successfully wrapped up a multiparter in a way that didn't feel cheap and hollowly disappointing to me was literally The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, and a) that was in 2005 and b) tbh The Doctor Dances is about a tenth as compelling and memorable as The Empty Child.

so after 12 years of either hackery or great ideas that fall apart in the second act, Steven Moffat writes what I would genuinely consider to be a memorable Good Doctor Who serial. it ends with bittersweet pathos, a solid closer for all the main characters, and sends Moffat's showrunning career out on a genuine high despite failing ratings and budget cuts (and the fact Doctor Who hasn't been consistently good since about 2009). good job Steve. with grudging respect I admit you pulled it out of the bag on this one.

wait what's this there's one more episode left? and it stars Mark Gatiss? and you literally spend the whole episode inexplicably just shitting all over the legacy of Doctor Who by inventing a version of the First Doctor that bears literally no resemblance to the character that William Hartnell actually played, just so you can spend the whole episode saying misogynistic things to run yourself off to how much more Totally Feminist your version was than the version you made up in your head of what Doctor Who was like in the 60s? and it added literally nothing to the season except to take all the wind out of the sails of the actually good finale you already wrote?

even when he writes a good episode this fucker still finds ways to disappoint me.

Idk about the other Doctor Who fans, but I like Ruby Sunday as a character

one thing i do like is if they gave 14 a super megasad bittersweet ending youd have to have 15 still dealing with that baggage at the start of his run. instead having 14 chill on earth and wrap all of everything up in a little bow and process everything so it doesnt have to hang over 15s run like no matter how this bigen stuff works they do say in the episode 15 is only chill bc 14 got to chill out. clean slate

[s0fter-sin]

i am closer to watching doctor who than i’ve ever been in my life, this new dude is setting roots in my brain

[spaceagesparkledust]

They separated 14 from 15 because they're about to give 15 so much angst. I can feel it in my bones.

I feel like, if I post my carsoro shit eventually “carsoro hylics” google results will become populated with my fake and gay fanon. like something i drew already shows up bc I posted it on da. that is terrifying but also hilarious. But like. my gay ass fanon? made for myself? seen by people other than me and my close friends and also like the tumblr portion of hylics fans?? good lird thats a scary thought. Ofc I would have to get over my weird complex I have about making like... fanfic? au? type shit for myself and sharing it with other human beings.
