Your favorite food?

Shimmer: Is it cheating if I say my dad's cooking? If it is, Cosmo's cookies are also really good. (I should ask him to make some for us later.)

Hamlet: Sprout makes some banger seafood. I'm especially a fan of salmon and crabs and--

Shimmer: ... Hamlet: DON'T LOOK THEM LIKE THAT!! YOU EAT IT TOO!

David Tennant being a lifelong Doctor Who fan who was inspired by the show to act, becoming the Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa who watched David Tennant and was inspired to act, playing the Doctor opposite David’s Doctor is the most beautiful thing

In honour of his birthday, I'm going to rant about some of my favourite roles of the global treasure (yes, I'm promoting him from the ‘national’ status), David Tennant. Feel free to add your own.💙

Fourteen Doctor: This might seem like an odd choice to start with when there are popular choices like the Tenth Doctor and Crowley, but this character holds a very special place in my heart. I've been a fan of DT for about 6 years now and it started with Doctor Who. I love Ten but Fourteen is just more dear to me. Mostly because he made me excited again for one of my favourite TV shows. As a character, he has all the trademark qualities of the Doctor - the genius level intellect, endless compassion, and love for new adventures. But he is somehow more mature and softer, and I loved this development. Also, that blue coat and that (1) button - you know what I'm talking about.

Phileas Fogg: Such an underrated TV show. The chemistry of the trio, the adventures, the title sequence music - there's so much to love about this. And Fogg is such a real character. So far from perfect, this man will often appear as aloof, vain, self-absorbed and even a coward. But I think Phileas is one of the best roles ever played by Tennant. Yes, he's flawed but he's also intelligent, so incredibly kind, and yes, even brave. If you haven't watched this show, I highly recommend it.

Alec Hardy: So different from most other charming roles of DT, Hardy is a sad wet cat. He's grumpy, not nice, and just really tired of the world (who can't relate though?). His reluctant friendship with Ellie is one of the best parts of the grim show. And the fanfic lover in me can't stop screaming about how whumpable he is.

Crowley: I was going for the top three kind of ranking but the thin dark duke slithered his way over. And how can you not love Anthony J. Crowley? From this pure delightful joy while creating stars and nebulae (I can't get over David's face and the happy noises he makes in this scene) to his reluctant and vast love for his Angel and the earth, Crowley is very easy to fall in love with (take notes, Aziraphale. I know you love him but please use your words. Crowley, at least, tried). 

I wanted to add more characters, especially the Shakespearean ones (I love Hamlet, but Benedick has my heart), but the list won't simply ever end then. So, I'm just going to say name all the ones I love and end it here - Simon Yates (There She Goes), Dave Tyler (Single Father), Campbell Bain (Takin' over the Asylum), Harry Watling aka The Sexy Vicar (Inside Man, this show was so freaking stressful but I loved David's character), every single Shakespearean character he ever played (even the ones I haven't or probably won't ever get the chance to see - cries in Macbeth), and, of course, Scrooge McDuck (DuckTales).

So, thank you DT for gifting the world with some of the best, most adorable, wholesome, gender-enviable characters to ever exist. (Except for the creeps, freaks, and ruthless murderers, which we kind of love as well). Happy Birthday! 💙

Someone get Karl Collins back to film minisodes of Shaun Temple narrating the 60th Specials, and then maybe adventures with an alien in the back garden, Luis from the MCU style.

I mean imagine what’s it like at his regular coffee or chip shop, all the other cabbies and the baristas rapt with attention

And man, even though I have some favorite bits of the Rory Amy Eleven polycule, it’s nice to see a man secure in the knowledge that Donna married him for a reason-

That if the Doctor could come home to her, it was *because* Donna spent the better part of two decades with a partner who she could find her own home with.

rewatching ben whishaw's richard ii and yea i think the biggest difference between his and the rsc version is that he plays richard's flippancy/disregard for other people's lives completely straight and in a kind of sinister way while david plays it for humor

[nymphoutofwater]

I understand the problem, but I also think the problem with returning villains is that they... sort of become so entwined in their history that they lose all archetypal power? Like, the thing about the Pantheon is that they're no longer archetypal, they're literal archetypes. You cannot destroy them, that would destroy the world. But nor can you give them history, because then they stop being archetypes. This is sure as hell what happened to the Master, with whom the last time their raison d'etre was control and not situationship with the Doctor was in 2010. Cybermen became functional robots and only regained an element of the thought experiment about engineering the perfect society while losing humanity in s10 and Ashad. The Daleks have. pretty much become Doctor Who villains, with no reference to real world, and tbh I lowkey love that the minisode is kind of embracing them as such possibly because fascism has become too historically real to be metaphorised in a family show effectively.

This big bad is the big bad because being the big bad is what they are, so to speak.

i think my issue with dw villains lately is they have no staying power or lasting consequences for the plot which isn't new and wouldn't be an issue for a monster of the week format except lately the villains are all so big and scary they SHOULD stay and have lasting effects on the story. either make them less world-altering or have them actually alter the world?
