WYD WHEN MY GANG PULL UP

[altruisticlighthouse]

Look we all love to point out Captain Jack Harkness kissing the doctor (and his existence in general because that man) but you know who we never talk about?

This goddamn trio

The lesbian lizard lady who ate Jack the Ripper, her wife who is a very talented swordsman (woman), and the highly trained and deadly warrior alien with a love for grenades who is acting as their butler. All living in Victorian London.

Madame Vastra, Jenny, and Strax my LOVE

[expectiations]

i still think it's such a sad thing that the Paternoster Gang aren't canonically River's godparents. good thing they are to me though.

[smallerontheoutside]

the thing is, right, that we never see the doctor join the ponds for Christmas dinner

he did join Rose, and I'm so glad about that

does no-one on the production team think that maybe we want to see them happy for once? I want to see the doctor having dinner with the Ponds, I want to see him spending that time with Jackson Lake (ooh, the doctor and people named after bodies of water / nature things), I want to see snippets of what he and River got up to on Darillium - what did they argue about that was so insulting to him that he had to go spend two weeks with otters? And I want to see the same with other characters - Rose and Jackie, Clara attempting more soufflés, Bill and her various dating attempts, Amy and Rory being Amy and Rory, Martha and Mickey just hanging out, Donna with her family, Vastra and Jenny and Strax (thank you so much @jennyandvastraflint for your fics about them, they really scratch my brain in the right way)

and yes I know this is part of what fanfic is for, and the audios are brilliant, but sometimes I just want to see them smiling, laughing, crying, whatever, but I feel like they're always in mortal danger on screen, I'd love if some time was devoted to softer, quieter moments too. hell, it might hurt more (in a good way) if characters had time to process and freak out over what's happened to them

Doctor: kisses his invisible wife

Strax, Jenny, Vastra:

[presidentpoppy]

Strax in a choker!!! It’s probably got a chain in the back rather than a button or belt, so his probic vent has room to breathe.

[starlightseraph]

doctor who had a thing of sapphic greatness with the canon vastra/jenny romance and they just got rid of it with no explanation :(

favourite QPP/QPR in dw?

I am giving you 3

Doctor & Donna

Most recognised and accepted

Jenny/Vastra & Strax

That's two lesbians and their platonic soulmate bestie gender confused Sontaran

Ruby & Rose

The potential to have the most queer and most platonic relationship is right there.

Psa: I didn't include river or Nardole because I consider them both companions

the paternoster gang don’t show up nearly enough in doctor who and i think that’s a crime in itself

[0rent]

Here is a drawing i did of Strax The Sontaran Warrior, Strax from The Paternoster Gang, Strax from Doctor Who, I love this big Potato Man.... Don't tell him i called him that he might come and get me.
