Ruby’s band in the new dw special just casually having a Transfemme lead singer just mmmm….

Yes!

Like sure she’s only a bit part and that kinda sucks but the fact she’s just there casually because RTD has the balls to depict a world where trans people can just exist casually, just…

Yes, yes, yes. More please. It means so much to just SEE people like myself on my favourite show you have no idea. I hope she becomes a regular supporting character.

Doctor Who 2005: beautiful gay rep in prime time tv

Doctor Who 2023: beautiful trans rep in prime time tv

Ruby: How did she stay invisible … from a god? She defeated Sutekh.

Fifteen: She was important … because we think she’s important. It’s how everything happens. Every war, every religion, every love story. We invest things with significance. So while the whole of creation was turning around her, it made her sheer existence more powerful than Time Lords and gods. In the end, the most important person in the universe was the most ordinary.

Made this as a small celebration for the massive W the Tyssa shippers have won thanks to the legendary RTD 💜💖

Okay I updated it because the other one was bothering me for some reason, after a lot more tweaking, I'm finally satisfied with it <3

[that-ineffable-devil]

First of all, I am already deeply in love with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. I think that's record-breaking for me, because it usually takes me a bit to adjust. But in what little time he's had on screen he's already so kind and sweet and funny and affectionate. I just know I'm going to love every minute of his run.

Second of all, the fucking CATHARSIS of seeing David Tennant as the Doctor finally happy is just...like an emotional release. After all that 10 suffered and then Good Omens S2, seeing him get a happy ending... Seeing him tear up as he realizes what he's been fighting for his whole life and that he's happy, truly happy.

My heart is bursting. 😭🖤

I love my beautiful babies so so much, they mean the world to be and I will keep them in my pocket forever

I’m not crying, you are...

After watching the full three episodes of the 60th anniversary special of Doctor Who, I'm too thrilled to say anything. Donna and 10th will always be my favorite duos/best friends, and I believe they both earned this wonderful and beautiful moment. Plus, the Doctor at last got what he had always wanted: a family! <3

Me vs. the Doctor Who 2023 specials

The Star Beast: [exists]

Me: Finally! The Doctor and Donna together again! Donna being her wonderful self, which now also means wonderful mother! Rose! The Meep! My chosen pronoun is the definite article!

Wild Blue Yonder: [exists]

Me: Gravity jokes! Spaceship! One hour of the Doctor and Donna’s show, uninterrupted banter! Wilf!

The Giggle: [exists]

Me: No. I can’t do it.

The Giggle: [exists]

Me: You don’t understand. I can’t watch my favourite Doctor go away AGAIN. I cannot. I WILL NOT.

The Giggle: Come on, you know you want to watch me!

Me: I will ignore you forever so my Doctor will never regenerate and will get to be with his best mate and-

The Giggle: What about Ncuti?

Me: Good point. Why can’t I have both?!

The Giggle: [makes incredibly convincing puppy eyes]

Me: What?! I CAN have both?! David Tennant AND Ncuti Gatwa? My Doctor gets a family! HAPPY ENDING FOR EVERYONE! I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Bonus scene

The Giggle: In Russell T Davies you should trust.

Me: That sounded vaguely American. Aren’t you supposed to be British?

The Giggle: I mean, I’m on Disney+ now….

Me: Oh, right. Well, in Russell T Davies we trust :)

I don’t care if people thought Rose Noble’s inclusion was cringe or heavy handed, do you know how much it means to young trans folks to see characters they love and grew up with giving Rose their unconditional love and support? I know it meant the world to me

THE MEEP??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE

Just finished watching the third special for Doctor Who 60th Anniversary, and I have to say I absolutely loved it. It really felt like the Doctor who I know and love. Thank you RTD!

Definitely a step up in writing quality from the previous series.

I genuinely like the 15th doctor, I think he’s going to do great. His TARDIS has a fun 70s vibe to it.

Just a couple things:

1. He said the bi-generation thing was supposed to be a myth. And then Kate said something about locking the Toymaker’s box in salt? I think invoking a myth at the Edge of the Universe did more than we think it did.

2. The Master is now a golden tooth. The part where it got picked up invokes the scene where his golden ring got picked up by somebody. Does this mean we get another Master in the future?

3. Certain parts of when they were in the Toymaker’s dimension was nightmare fuel. I mean, that bit with the Stookies was just… *shiver*

4. I like that they referenced previous companions. Surprised there wasn’t a Weeping Angel puppet.

5. I would absolutely LOVE to see a spin-off series akin to Sarah Jane Adventures or Torchwood, but with 14 and Donna working at UNIT, and potentially getting cameos of other companions. I’d love to see Martha again. She supposedly still works at UNIT, right?

Maybe they could bring 14 to the Companion Support Group sometime.

end of time is great bc i get gender envy both from the guy in the suit and long coat and the guy in just some dirty black hoodie with bleached hair

The TARDIS being wheelchair accessible for the first time has me bawling y'all.
