When the sand started spreading across the entire globe we all *knew* the doctor was gonna figure out a way to bring everyone back. But can you imagine if a season finale big bad killed every single person on earth and then the doctor *couldn't* save the world? At this point it would be so funny, I'd love it. It would force the show to drastically change, at least until another showrunner brought the earth back. The Doctor would either have to only visit earth in the past prior to the destruction, or would have to have alien companions for once instead. I'd watch the hell out of that
#doctor who#hazespeaks#it would be like a more dramatic version of the era where the doctors tardis wouldnt work and he was stuck on earth for several seasons#sometimes you gotta change up the formula for a little while!#god wait im thinking of details#imagine if the world ending plot had something to do with gallifrey being brought back again.#and then when the dr fails to stop the destruction it directly leads to gallifrey coming back#only allowed to mourn the loss of 1 planet at a time lol#and then have him spend a while actually living on gallifrey. like maybe because hes gonna spend an eternity figuring out how to save earth#and the answer is on gallifrey. and along the way theres a bunch of side adventures because saving earth is practically impossible#and is mostly just simmering in the back of his mind until a season finale a few seasons later

15 starts out acting like he's solved all his problems and says this whole thing to 14 about not running away anymore and then what does he try to do? fly away in the tardis without even saying goodbye 🤨 bigeneration cannot POSSIBLY come with free instantaneous therapy don't let the doctor lie to you
#dw spoilers#doctor who spoilers#60th anniversary special#15th doctor#hazespeaks#there are plenty of fun distractions from the horrors of being the doctor such as: saving the world. bigeneration being a thing#surrounded by friends. able to duplicate the tardis. able to hug another version of himself and pretend he suddenly has his life together#in the 0.1 seconds since their consciousnesses diverged.#but as soon as the doctor is alone let me tell you that all is going to wear off!!!!!!!#so what does he do? he goes to the club. gotta keep the distractions going babeyyyy#edit: pinning this post bc people keep saying 15 'went to therapy'#no hes lying to everyone including himself this is the doctor come onnnn come onnnnnnnnn

I'm overhearing some middle aged person in a coffee shop talking about the latest doctor who episode, and saying exactly the same thing we've all been saying 😭 they brought it up and I was like "oh here we go" and then they were like "I wish they hadn't said that stuff about the doctor not being able to understand due to being male presenting, that just reinforces the binary theyre trying to break out of" and "I wish Rose hadn't called out the doctor for assuming the meep's pronouns, the doctor should've just asked for the meep's pronouns without needing to be prompted to" and "I really agree with what they're trying to do, I just wish they'd handled it better" and then after complaining about it all they were like "idk... maybe some people do need to be hit upside the head with it". Like. I know this is just one stranger but it feels so heartening. They didn't see One (1) heavy handed episode and decide to be mad about the trans representation. Like maybe things really will be alright
#this stranger sounds like a middle aged/older man but considering the topics i dont want to assume#they also mentioned watching the chibnall era???#and said jodie is a great actress but chibnall kinda sucked (paraphrasing here lol)#they said 'she really grew on me' which I think means they made it further through her era than *I* did#i know this is tumblr and people will think im making this up on my 10 follower blog for no reason. but god#i feel so. idk. im a little bit emotional about this small thing lol#all the people in my life have been kinda shitty about me transitioning. both the cis and trans folks in my life#but clearly not everyone is awful about this. once again thank you rtd for these episodes#he tried so hard and people are talking about it and thats what matters#hazespeaks

Choosing to go by a title instead of by a specific name makes so much sense for a timelord, honestly. I know there are timelords out there who don't go by a title, but still! I can so easily imagine names being something that feel different to each regeneration, each one feeling discontent with previous names they've gone by and wanting to pick out their own. And when you regenerate more than a handful of times, having different faces *and* different names can get impractical quickly. But if you go by a title, that title can be the connecting thread, so that people know you're mostly the same person as before, no matter how many regenerations ago they last saw you
#hazespeaks#idk maybe im just someone who finds names to be really personal and would rather go by something less personal like a title lol#but i like the idea of each version of the doctor having a different personal name that they pretty much never tell anyone#'is theta his nickname or real name' it was his real name at one point. not anymore

Thinking about that post that said "why not make David Tennant the master next, he can just say he picked it because the doctor seems to like that face so much." And honestly why stop there. The master could borrow any of the doctor's faces. I know he technically did with 13 but I'm talking regenerating into a doctor's face and then interacting with the doctor while like that. Get the 8th doctor's face in there. An old companion's face. Itd be so much fun

I'm finally watching The Green Death (the last 3rd doctor story) and man... I wish 15 was still standoffish with UNIT. That was a way more fun dynamic

Honestly? When I watched the latest episode, I noticed the fact that everyone was white pretty early on, but my first thought wasn't that it was a deliberate part of the narrative. My first thought was "hmm you'd think they'd be better about this by now but I guess not"
#hazespeaks#thats the thing a lot of people seem to be ignoring#yes of course i agree that the racism is noticeable from the start#and that examining oneself for missing the signs is good to do#but i also think folks are giving the show a little too much credit when theyre like#'it was so obvious from the start that these characters were being written deliberately as racist'#when the showrunners and writers have a history of including their own racist biases unintentionally in episodes#theyre doing way better than in the 1960s#but like. theres nuance here

One of these days I need to write a fic about the 14th doctor having a breathtakingly terrible time at Donna's house. All the domesticity is a constant reminder of the things he ran away from and the family he could never fit in enough to have in gallifrey. Every moment of peace feels suspicious and unfamiliar because he's spent so long throwing himself into danger that he doesn't know how to relax anymore. And on top of all that is the crushing guilt: guilt about how boring it all is half the time, and guilt about feeling like he's "wasting" the tardis by not endlessly searching for people to save and cosmic-scale things to help out with. Long ago, the loneliest he ever felt was when he was surrounded by gallifreyans who fundamentally did not understand him. And now, the loneliest he's ever felt is while he's surrounded by human beings who care so much about him and he cares so much for them, and yet despite that, being around them in their day to day lives for too long still feels terrifyingly lonely. And he hates himself for it, but in the end he runs away in the tardis, like he always has, without so much as leaving behind a note.
#hazespeaks#me when a tennant doctors story doesnt end in tragedy: ..... but what if it did#everyones having fun with 14's retirement and healing and all that and thats great! genuinely!#the idea of a domestic family situation being just what he needed all along just makes me sad personally. sorry everyone#idk how to explain it concisely i just#really relate to the doctor not feeling comfortable with a 'traditional' domestic kind of life

Found posts from the oldest blog I have that I didn't delete, and there's one from as far back as 2015 saying "I thought I'd hate the husbands of river song but I liked it! It made me laugh!" and then a bit later, stuff like "moffat only has 12 episodes left to disappoint me with yay <3" and then later "actually Bill is my favorite companion of them all"
#hazespeaks#its like that meme where stickperson is on the computer thinking to old times with a single tear running down its cheek. 2015.....#i had a blog with some 11-era ep liveblogs on it but i deleted that one </3

I listened to one of the 8th doctor audio dramas for the first time during work yesterday, one called 'Storm Warning.' I liked it, felt pretty similar to the vibe of a standard doctor who episode. I'm not sure which 8th doctor audio drama to listen to next, though. Wanna make sure I listen in chronological order

Me 1 week ago before the seasonal depression: I hope tennant gets a less tragic regeneration this time :) it would be so wonderful if he got to be surrounded by loved ones this time and be comforted through it no matter how scary it may or may not feel
Me now: I hope it's. worse
#hazespeaks#'how could it possibly ever be worse than the end of time?'#im sure rtd could figure out something#that being said this just means i will be happy with it whether its tragic or not#im sure a happier ending for tennant this time would get to me. rtd is good enough of a writer to make it land
