Before I get on with watching the penultimate episode of the current season, I wanna do a quick shout out to this amazing scene built on campy absurdity and the most tremendous acting...

There is simply no other show like Doctor Who. 🥹

This scene begins with the Doctor just running and scrambling around the control room of The Meep's spaceship (with Tennant's lanky physicality to boot) when Donna chases him down not quite fully remembering him but running on instinct.

They are both trapped in this confined space as doors begin to close in conveniently inconvenient order.

They are then separated by a glass pane which, honestly, if the scene ever stopped to breathe we'd all jointly be like "who builds a ship with a big glass divider in the middle of it? What actual purpose would that serve?" But because it's Tate and Tennant, were transported to an exciting and stressful bout of dramatic Shakespearean comedy.

The Doctor realizes in the heat of the moment if he stands any chance of saving the planet (again), he has to sacrifice the safety of the ones he's grown to love.

In this case, a woman who was fully and completely his best friend.

He unlocks her memory and they save the day one last time as Doctor Donna!

...but the timelord mind and a human brain were never meant to coexist. Donna collapses.

When I saw this the first time I really did allow myself to believe the Doctor's fear had manifested. That Donna died to save the world just as she remembered him.

All the silliness in the world transpired in those minutes leading up and when this moment came along, I couldn't look away. I was shellshocked.

...and they had earned it.

I started to believe The Doctor was going to have to bury her and live on piecing together the why without her. Even thinking fleeting thoughts about other possible loose ends.

And then they did a nonsensical but heartfelt twist about nonbinary people and omfg...it was like getting the biggest hug from your supportive uncle who just wants to see you smile.

For me, that uncle doesn't exist in the physical or present sense. So this moment felt like Russell T Davies inserting himself as a loving, supportive fella holding out his arms and trying his absolute best.

Maybe holding two gift bags...one from a fashion store he shops at all the time and another bag from a hunting box store you just know he never goes to with a camo flat bill hat inside he thought "maybe they would like to wear this??"

All in all, there is absolutely no other show like Doctor Who. 🥰

Spock lets his hair grow out a little and everyone's in love with each other. 🤲

somebody once sent me an ask wondering what my #the language of rope doctor who blog tag meant — well, here’s an approximation

it’s Anansi’s spider-web, it’s the network of stories, it’s the invisible threads of TV broadcasting and the internet and patterns and hyperlinks connecting one fate to another, it’s Belinda and Mundy, it’s the red string on corkboard of a post-truth conspiracy theorist like Conrad, it’s lies-that-become-reality, it’s fairy circle string and celluloid film tape and a rope to stop a train and the Story Nexus and the Web of Time; and i’m not sure what it’s all leading up to, but there must be something to it

this may all sound like a bit of a reach to you. like i’m tracing a motif that’s not really there. engaging in wishful thinking (as if i live on Wish World, coming up in two weeks! interesting episode title, that.) but i’m not the only one — jamie cowan, DWEU author and one of the people who genuinely knows more about this show than the rest of the planet, agrees with me. and if you needed further confirmation…

unedited and rusty, but gettin back into it 💪

TMP is honestly this wild trip despite the glacial pacing at times, because it's like—

Vulcan woman: Spock, you've worked hard to purge yourself of all emotion, but your mind is picking up signals from some human and I guess some logic thing in space. my conclusion: you aren't racially pure enough to find your answers here

Spock: time to track down the pure logic thing and find the answers and meaning in my existence as a Vulcan that I've been searching for all my life and definitely never found in the past before all my previous character development got reset

[Meanwhile]

Kirk: so this unknown cosmic force is going to wipe out all life on Earth, and I've been placed in charge because I have a lot of experience dealing with bizarre dangerous cosmic shit as commander of this specific ship, in addition to my missing being in space because I was pushed into the admiralty at, like, age 39

Decker: *throws a series of tantrums about the prioritization of all of Earth above his ego for almost the entire mission*

Ilia: I have taken an oath of celibacy

Kirk: ... not super relevant. please just do your job

[Also, the transporter painfully melts some people we don't know into unrecognizable lumps of flesh. This is completely disconnected from the rest of the movie; it has no relevance to anything else, is immediately forgotten and never acknowledged again, and everyone acts like Bones is silly and paranoid for being nervous about going through the transporter]

Uhura: I think Admiral Kirk is obviously the person most qualified to command our incredibly dangerous and important mission, and we're damned lucky he got put in charge. if anyone cares

[everyone else]: *doesn't care*

McCoy: Jim, maybe you shouldn't make your mid-life crisis everyone else's problem

Decker: yeah! I should still be in charge! my solution is "don't take risks" when encountering the unknown and wait until systems are 100% safe before we do anything

Kirk: again let me reiterate that we need to act decisively even if it's risky or billions of people will die. we have to at least try, so waiting is not an option here

Spock: *shows up and, despite being icy and dismissive, immediately fixes all their most pressing technical problems*

McCoy: maybe we shouldn't trust him. he has his own agenda now

Kirk: wtf of course we can trust him he's Spock how dare

[Kirk quickly figures out the changes to the bridge, and from then on, his judgment and decisions are pretty much continually vindicated by the plot. Decker's advice goes from temporarily useful to unprofessional constant jabs with little sense of the real stakes and no better ideas. It becomes extremely apparent that Kirk really is far better equipped in temperament and experience to deal with the potential slaughter of Earth than Decker, especially when assisted by Spock—even this arctic version of Spock.]

Spock: *knocks out a crewman, steals a spacesuit, and tries to make contact with the cosmic acid trip/space vagina by traveling through what he unenthusiastically describes as its "orifices"*

Kirk: I ... guess maybe Bones was - no, it can't be - wait a moment, I -

Spock: *starts transmitting all the data he's gathering to Kirk*

Kirk: hah, I knew he would never betray me! Okay, everyone, you all stay here, I'm going to jump into space to catch him

[Spock melds with the cosmic space vagina and it violently ejects him through various orifices, as he might describe them, until he's thrown right into Kirk's arms, signifying nothing]

Bones and Chapel: melding with the cosmic logic vagina seems to have fried his brain :(

Spock, laughing: I should have known ...

Kirk: *seizes his shoulders* known WHAT Spock what are you talking about. please tell me your mind is intact. sweetheart it's okay what are you full of shame about this time *tries to shake the brain damage loose*

Spock: Jim ... I melded with the supreme logic being and discovered that there's no beauty or art or meaning in raw information or logic ... only a barren STEM hellscape without the humanities

[Spock slides his hand down Kirk's arm until their fingers wrap around each other, and their joined hands tightly cling together. unrelatedly, we have definitely seen Vulcans and Romulans use finger stroking as kissing and/or foreplay]

Spock: it was awful and empty and not at all what I've been searching for this whole time. and finally I understood that the real meaning in life comes from the simple feeling between you and me. The mechanized space vagina couldn't understand our love

[Kirk wraps his other hand tightly around his and Spock's clasped fingers. God knows what degree of obscenity they would be committing on Vulcan, but in any case, McCoy (as ever) politely pretends he's not seeing this happen right in front of him, since Kirk and Spock obviously have forgotten, yet again, that other people exist]

Kirk: 🥹🥰

[They stare tenderly at each other without speaking for a few seconds, but are definitely communicating on some level; after a moment's hesitation, Kirk nods slightly, then Spock nods in response, and it feels like we're missing half the conversation. Then Spock explains V'ger's existential angst in terms that obviously apply equally to his own past self, and by past I mean "for most of this movie until a few minutes ago"]

It turns out that V'ger, in addition to being a cosmic acid trip/space vagina/mass murderer, is also an annoying teenager, maturity-wise. I do appreciate Kirk and Spock having their "this is just adolescent angst and we are too middle-aged for this nonsense" reaction, and noping out to provoke V'ger into some measure of cooperation until they all figure out that it's trying to communicate with NASA.

In the course of all this, there's a point where Decker manages to be mildly helpful via the Ilia probe sort of remembering their old relationship, and he proves his value at last by welcoming the chance to orgasmically fuse with Ilia/V'ger, while Kirk is horrified and baffled at why Decker would find this remotely appealing. (ngl Kirk in this movie feels like the most purely gay-coded iteration of him; from the film itself, I could easily believe he has lost all attraction to women at this point.)

So thankfully, we're finally free of the weird and underwhelming Decker/Ilia duo via multiple cosmic acid orgasms, and the Earth is saved, etc. In aesthetics, it's all powerfully 70s, even in the awesome strange bits before V'ger looked quite so, uh, yonic. Somehow even the new bland sleepwear version of Starfleet uniforms seem very 70s; apparently Spock's kickass robes and the muscle-revealing quasi-polo top that Kirk promptly switches into consumed all available stylishness.]

Scott: everything's fine now, so I guess we can drop you off at Vulcan, Mr. Spock

Spock: my experiences today have, uh, resolved my need to stay on Vulcan, so there's no reason to detour for me. I'll just tag along to Earth for >_> no reason

Kirk: [deeply vindicated for about the twelfth time that day, but this time also managing to exude Spock is getting laid tonight without saying a word about him] Mr. Sulu, ahead, warp one.

Say what you will about Aegon II, but not since Bobby B has there been such a quotable character on this show. His hits include but are not limited to:

"I have dared, and I find it rather stimulating."

"The queen is an enduring mystery."

"He's pretending to be his own twin. Brilliant."

"I DECLARE WAR! [war has been declared for days, if not months, already]"

"You marry her then."

"Perhaps we could just return his sheep. He came all this way."

And these are just the lines I remember off the top of my head.

i inspired it off this one gif i saw while looking at discord gifs and i just had to draw it uugughghh i love subspace this is the gif in question i don't know where it comes from originally however :(

ramnle time i've never actually shaded like this before and this is my first art piece of 2025

the reason why he has no mask is because ummm i ated it [i did his face first, liked it too much, got too attached and couldnt draw the mask over it]

i might draw subspace again he was so much fun to render had a slight panic over his pattern on his shirt but it was fine in the end

this is the first time i've had a sketch go into the final lineart

this entire project was a big first for me actually ngl im so proud aha i rest now
