After finishing Doctor Who during Moffat's run, I think I see a pattern here for most (but not all) of his female characters choices in Doctor Who & Sherlock. I know people have already analyzed this before, but I want to do it myself so here we go.

There are primary three categories:

1. The first is the generic and the normal ones, according to him. Characters like Amy, Donna (silence in the library episode) from Doctor Who, Mary from Sherlock. These are the characters that will always stand with the good people, never straying, and whose life long dream is to settle down and have children. Mary of course is an outlier, because she had shot Sherlock and broke John's trust. But in the final season, it turned out that her hands had been forced, and she had been good all along.

For me, I think wanting to settle down to have a family of course is not necessarily a bad thing. I can't say for Mary and Amy because I couldn't relate to them personally, however, Donna's storyline in the Silence in the Library didn't sit well with me. When she was saved by the Computer, it sort of simulated a life that it thought she wanted. One where she had two beautiful children and a dotting husband. The problem here lies in the fact that she had been ridiculed and thought to be loud and brash and stupid all her life, and had been a temp for a long time. She literally ran to the TARDIS the second time she met the Doctor because she didn't like the life she had had, or the life her mom has been pressuring her to have. Can you see how reluctant she has been to pursue anything really? Do you really think her life-long dream, her secret desire is still to settle down and become a wife to someone? Maybe, but not before taking the chance to see the Universe with the Doctor. I actually have a feeling that finding a husband might have been on her list, but she could be doing that more out of obligation and societal expectations. Again, it's not a bad thing to want a family, but there's a recurring theme for his character choices that I can't help notice.

2. Second are the women who are smart and resourceful. These are the characters that are most of the time portrayed as sexy and intelligent, and most of all above all the others. Characters like Irene Adler and Mary (a little bit) in Sherlock, River and Clara in Doctor Who. I think there are many discussions we can have about the definition of strong, female, characters. However, I agree with many others that these women's lives all revolve around one man. And even if they are smart enough, we have to remember there will be one guy who can still tell them otherwise: which are Sherlock and the Doctor respectively.

3. The third type of women in Steven Moffat's writings are those who are too intelligent they become unpredictable and sometimes downright inhuman. Characters like Eurus in Sherlock, Missy in Doctor Who are in this category. They are extremely smart and morally questionable characters, and certainly, they have a lot of potential to explore. However, they are almost too smart that it becomes harder to relate to them. And since I don't think Moffat really knows how to deal with them, they are either put in a cage when they are being "naughty", or out of the cage at their male counterpart's side when they finally decide to stand with them, to be "good".

By the way, there is one addition that I think is relevant. It is fucking funny that with the way he wrote these women, they are most of the time too put together to really have any story to tell. From first glance, you wouldn't be able to really see what their backgrounds were like and what's on their minds, and as the story progressed nothing really developed. Since this is not good for story telling, he would give you some (in my opinion) unnecessary stories to compensate the lack of substances, such as family drama TM (the whole John and Mary arguments), or the boyfriend drama TM (why didn't you approve my choice of a boyfriend, Doctor? & OMG my boyfriend just been run over by cars because I said "I love you" to him). Those back and forth we didn't really see coming to distract us from the facts. However, this makes a lot of the stories feel disjointed and the time jump between episodes sometimes doesn't make sense. Also when the dramas are added, some audience (normally cis straight guys) can be like look, the main guys don't really care to deal with them and in comparison are way cooler, these girls just needed to be put in their places.

In conclusion, most of the women written by him are either categorized as:

(1) normal girls will -> get pregnant

(2) Smart & sexy powerful women will -> get beaten by the main character (who are always white, more superior and smarter)

(3) Unpredictable brainiacs (who deserve better) will-> get put into dungeons and cages 'cause they are crazy and "bad" (as in their beliefs are not aligned with the hero's). Oh and sometimes they can be sexy, too

Hello from the hallowoods is really good at paralels between characters

the hfth brainrot is going strong and I need to take a bit to rant about how good all of the parralels between all of the characters are because oh my good mx wellman you truly outdid yourself on them

Riot-The Misters R&W-Moth: all three spent their entire time since the black rain in bunkers, only to be forced to leave

Riot-Clara-Moth: all three spent their time isolated in their respective safe houses with their families, only for something to go terribly wrong and them being forced to flee. They lose their parents, but after leaving all found a new mentor/father figure to teach them how to become strong enough to survive

Clara-Olivier: kinda obvious basicaly everybody references how clara is slowly becoming the new olivier and in the season 3 finale they make it even more clear by saying that blackletter didnt even remove olivier from the plan. also both dated riot

Walt-Bern: both were survivors in the woods but while walt used compassion and understanding, bern initialy refused to believe either diggory or olivier should be allowed to survive

Soloman-Irene: both were masters of the dark arts who attempted to reanimate the dead

The Resting Place crew-The Grand Crossroads crew: a group of a renagade devil, a powerful creature animated by the black rains, and a woman who takes her power from another indiscribably who acts as a lancer and supporter of the devil

The Countess-The Count: kinda obvious dont think I need to explain this one

Diggory-Cindy: connection to rizwana and dedication to stopping the end of the world

Diggory-Mort: deceased members of Rizwanas doomed expedition who in the end have to choose which one of them will die saving the world

Diggory-Creep: beings who have stolen the memories of Rizwanas expedition mixed with the black water

Friday-Penny: both have luck based powers that cause them to remain trapped and isolated being tormented for years

Nikignik-Ethel: both communicate stories through dreams, but LEM uses it to talk about herself and tell her own story, while Nik barely ever talks about it, especialy in season 1

Walt&Riot-Winona&Alena: young person with older mentor with a special sword

Ray-Gale-Bill: Moths 3 father figures, each of which take a different approach towards raising moth

Buck&Rick-Hector&Jonah: another pretty simple one

Jonah-Faceless King-Rat King: three kings of the end with three different perspectives on what that means for them

Marolmar-Nikignik-Xizikxiz: watch starcrossed gods please even if you have never watched a single episode of the show before I am begging you its so good

Al-Percy: the two ghosts, both only have one friend who can ever see them and carries their instrument around and a bad single parent

Ms Wicker-Indrid: both mothers who join the church of the hallowed name and have a chance to save their son from the spring service

Riot-Clementine: I really should not need to explain this one

I could go on for literal hours but literaly you can choose any two characters and their stories will parralel each other in some way and let you see something new/unique about how each handles their situation in contrast to the other.

If you have not watched HFTH please do so it is genuinely the best podcast if not the best story I have ever seen(or heard? its a podcast so im not sure what proper terminolodgy would be)

Had a random idea for the Ice Toa series of Sapphira's mom Irene of her Toa stuff

Her Toa tool being a bo-staff to represent Valiant's aura bone staff just ice themed and then THIS-

Because I had the stupid ass idea from this boss battle that Irene's Kanoi Mask ability is basically this video above

But she has the ability to disable it's effects if she wishes so she can sing normally

No, she does not have underworld people come out of the ground for the glow sticks (if she could I would have a brain aneurysm trying to figure out how and lore for that, probably similar of Baal Zebul anyway how both Infernal Demons and Paradiso Angels would come together to hear her singing since it's so beloved)

Sapphira and the rest of her Toa team would probably be the only ones who hear her sing like that without her Kanoi Mask abilities kicked in like she has for battle

Bayonetta 3 has dragged me into a pit of our beloved Umbra Witch of a forbidden child Bayonetta/Cereza

And I don't wanna leave bc my religious trauma ass loves it here

I love this video essay!! This actually helped me iron out what exactly it was that bothered me about women in the Moffat era, and was one of the reasons I felt confident enough to make my original post. The point about "the female companion in a short skirt in a cave" trope returning in the form of Amy Pond in "The Time of Angels" is so so good.

Also, it highlights a lot of things that were so great about Rose's character. I know people have different opinions about her as a companion (because people have infinite opinions on all of the companions), but it's so correct that she represents a fairly "normal" working class girl. She lives with her mom, works retail, dresses super casually, and is a bit directionless (as lots of people are at 19). When she travels, she has compassion for working/lower class peoples/aliens throughout time and space because of her own experiences with class. Sometimes she's jealous, sometimes she's unkind to Mickey, and sometimes she majorly fucks up, but in ways that are very real.

Compare that with the writing of Amy and Clara (regardless of how you feel about them as characters), as the video essay does, and it becomes clear pretty quickly how much worse the female characters of Doctor Who became after Stephen Moffat took over.

seen some people being like oh lots of people just haven’t liked anything since the tenth doctor and too many people are too nostalgic for when rtd was around and nothing else will ever satisfy those people and as someone with a strong preference for rtd and the 9th/10th doctors…

did y’all not see what the show was doing to women w amy and river song and clara

did you not

did you

did you miss that

did you glance over the downright awful vibes

because i stopped watching a little bit of the way into 12 cause it was just too much!! and i have returned now because the return of david tennant and rtd meant, to me, that the show would be comfortable again. and it is. and i will be watching the fifteenth doctor, but i frankly don’t think i’ll be catching up or reviewing my notes on matt smith tbh

i just think those comments are weird because a lot of them imply that people only prefer earlier seasons of new who for nostalgic reasons, which totally overlooks the weird attitude toward women that stephen moffat brought to the show.

Entity 404 - entity of pandemonium, somewhere between god and demon.

More Johnlock Fic Recs!

Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? - by folklorian28 How I imagine they'd move back in together if Mary and Rosie didn't exist. A little angsty but super fun!

Tapestry - by stopthat Harry and Clara are getting remarried and of course, that means double the meddling big gay sister powers are happening. The parentlock fluff is the cutest, the series callbacks are perfect, and our two flatmates have a lot to figure out.

The Burning of the Leaves - by blueink3 Was not expecting to like this one as much as I did, so don't let Major Sholto throw you off. John brings Rosie and Sherlock to visit Sholto at his house and secrets are revealed. Aka Sholto is a great wingman for both of them.

Still here - by solrosan Short and sweet, like excruciatingly sweet. The Season 4 Rosie content we deserved. After the events of the Final Problem, John and Sherlock go home to Rosie and stay there.

Maybe We Could Change His Mind - by thalialunacy All our favorite Sherlock lesbians coming together to stop the stupidity and pining. Featuring Sherlock and Irene being extremely protective and super gay. Plus Harry Watson helping John get over his internalized homophobia.

You're Not Designed to be Alone - thalialunacy - from raising a child together, to getting together, to getting married. this fic pretty much covers it all in short snapshot-like chapters. Plus the Holmeses are on a mission to completely embarrass John and Sherlock, and Harry finds out she has a niece.
