#shoutout to ian for coming back in power of the doctor. AS HE SHOULD!!

[robiniswriting]

ian chesterton and barbara wright are the blueprint because the doctor was initially just this old, kinda tetchy scientist who thought humans were stupid and also annoying, but then he accidentally kidnaps these two teachers because they followed his granddaughter home after realizing her address was an empty lot and growing worried for her. they cared enough to get personally involved beyond what was technically required of them.

throughout their adventures he watches as barbara defends ancient civilizations, remaining kind and empathetic in the face of violence and pain. he sees ian risk everything time and time again to get barbara and susan home safe. he watches them convince others to stand up and fight for what’s right. he sees the way they never give up, never give in, and above all, always try their best to do the right thing.

they don’t always get it right! but they never stop trying, and slowly, ever so slowly, we see the doctor change from a man who holds himself above and apart to the quipping, quirky hero we are so well acquainted with in new who.

the doctor has always modeled his morals on the humans he travels with. they are the ones he turns to when he begins to fly too far above it all. so really, we owe the existence of the doctor to ian and barbara: the first of so many. they deserve more love.

Black Experience Black I love being black I love being called black Black Black is me Black is you Black is my mother Black is your brother Black is beautiful Black is dark Black is light Black is power Black is bold Black is love Black is amazing Black is culture Black is kingdom Black is a lot of things , call this the preparation Now it’s time for the interpretation Maybe you’ll learn some information It’s the 21st century we’ve come a long way since segregation Yet we still suffer from discrimination No need for a round of applause We all have our perfections and flaws Let’s just take a moment to pause Chilvary isn’t dead , I’ll still be the man to open up doors Without reason there’s no cause Black is not just our colour it’s our core . It’s what I’m living for , Bernie Grant, Iganutis Sancho and Mary Seacole we’re fighting and dying for As black people in this country We’ve dealt with a load of fuckery We need to empower are sisters and brothers Regardless of the views of others Many accounts of micro aggression Suffered too much oppression Many can be consumed by depression Back in 07 I was that black boy who grew up listening to Black boys , now I’m now that black boy who grew to a black man thinking about one day having a black boy All the media see is negativity Black men only identified as an IC3 Instead of educated beings trying to get a university degree Black women seen as loud and trouble I’ll tell right now let’s burst that bubble Black Kings Nubian Queens Our history is vivid but far from pristine The tears that have been shed flow like streams We are manifestions of our ancestors dreams Just because we have a dark complexion Why does the world see it as an imperfection Instead of coming together and creating a connection Just need to apply a bit of direction From Caramel to Charcoal Appreciate your tone that’s the goal The way they discuss black women is tragic Don’t ever stop shining with that black girl magic Shout out Henrietta Lacks Your cells provide us with a break through of scientific acts Your beautiful spirts and gentle nature there’s so much to extract Wise words from my mother impacts From your curves to kinks in your hair Your souls are so pure and rare Never disregard your position you always deserve care No one should disrespect you don’t they dare Shoutout Walter Tull , Ian Wright, Stormzy. Many sevred in the World wars but he first black solider recognised by the British military. Next was Wrighty who wore that Arsenal shirt and became so legendary, only second to King Thierry . Last but not least is Stormzy first black man and second youngest who shelled down Glastonbury Vibrant colours flows around as Notting Hill carnival arrives The young need to live their lives The old look back on photo achieves Life needs enjoy so why not enjoy the late night drives As these words flow on the pages From the mind to pen and paper No longer locked up in a cages Allow the mind to soar higher than the skyscraper No matter if you are African or Caribbean boys Or a Caribbean or African Goddess If you are black and proud then make some noise You are loved and appreciated that’s a promise Remember you can be anything Shoot for the moon if you miss you’ll be amongst the stars So proud of my melanin We have all come so far Black beauty needs to appreciation Black heroes require more recognition From teachers , doctors , to sports stars and a musician Pride is the ultimate position Inspiring the youth is underlying mission We are all playing our position This is a 2019 edition I love being called black , I love being black Yeah I said it and I’ll never take it back
