i love tens corruption arc i love how everything that happened to him even starting back with nine was leading to “the laws of time are mine and they will obey me” “thats what i am, the time lord victorious” i love the waters of mars so much i think that tens arc ending in him having a complete mental breakdown is the only good way it could have ended actually
#everything was too much all at once for him i think. the circumstances he was born in were not ones he ever could have been happy in#nine imprinting so hard on rose to the point where ten was basically just Rose's Doctor(TM) was where it all went wrong for him#(obviously i dont mean that as a bad thing to any of the characters yall KNOW i love doctorrose but he was doomed bc of it!!!)#because him losing rose means that like. idk. his entire Identity was built off of her and being with her. you know#losing her is literally losing a part of him#so then when martha travels with him and he is so unbelievably awful to her and somehow he thinks hes being a good friend or whatever#and she chooses to leave him? with a big rant to his face about how tired she is of being second best?#(at least in his eyes. we all know martha carried season 3)#and then the master dying in his arms#no regeneration (lol)#and then him finding a friend in donna and trying not to fuck it up like he did with martha and it ending with him having to wipe donnas#memory#or else she'd Literally Die#his breakdown upon realizing he has to die in order to save wilf's life in the end of time is like......peak dw#his arc just feels so Complete and Deliberate theres very little i would change#idk.#i have more to say but i think ive run into a corner on this post#i like ten a lot i especially like his worst moments a lot (barring a few choice episodes) and as someone who makes posts About those#moments frequently i often see in my notes people saying they hated ten Being Like That post season 4#and i disagree! i think that his breakdown from the overwhelming grief hes gone through nearly his entire regeneration is like#really fun to watch and also everything was leading to this. its just. i like his arc a lot#simon says
