#the doctors companions

[notthewriteryourelookingfor]

Thinking about that part in the Giggle when the Toymaker was telling Donna about the other companions like Amy, Rory, and River got to spend the rest of their lives with the person they loved.

Clara's fine she's more immortal than Captain Jack at this point AND she has a TARDIS somehow???

Bill is literally the only one who ended up worse (& I am upset about the only canon lesbian being murdered but now she's a puddle??)

I mean he didn't even mention Nardole - chose to stay and help people hurt by cybermen

Ryan - chose to stay on Earth & got the dress psychic paper so he can do cool investigations

Graham - chose to stay with Ryan

Yas - eventually also returned to earth to do cool investigations with Ryan & Graham after the writers chickened out on the queer romance

And Dan - also chose to go back to earth & meet up with Yas, Ryan, & Graham at the "ex companion support group"

1 out of 9 murdered?

4 out of 9 canonically going on fun adventures?

3 out of 9 spending the rest of their lives with their partner?

That's p good stats tbh

The Doctor!

imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.

COMPANIONS

aaaaaah looking at them all together is so satisfying!! and i’m so proud of actually finishing this🥰

rory williams is literally the most insane character. in love with the local batshit girl. best friend growing up was crimes georg. got erased from existence and turned into a plastic roman. 2000 years guarding a box. also the most normal man you've ever met. it's like he practices being normal. his hobby is Being Normal. he's a normal nurse who wants a normal life with two and a half kids and a picket fence. he's perfectly happy with the Fucking Insane life he has with amy instead, regardless.

his problem solving skills involve "tactical suicide" and "telling the eldritch entity possessing the tardis it should torture him and amy instead of killing them". these work. he also steals and carries around future and alien first aid stuff, apparently.

he became emperor of rome for a bit. he narrowly dodged becoming king of camelot. he knows how to dual wield a shortsword and a gun.

rory williams is a Perfectly Normal Man, despite all of this.

Donna Noble really got in the TARDIS and on trip number ONE like ONLY the FIRST trip she was like we are going to change history to save a single family because that is how it should work so that is how it does and then on trip number TWO on the SECOND trip she was like we are going to destroy an entire culture of slavery because it is right I don't care if we're two people and then on the THIRD trip she was like I am going to be unbelievably brave to save my home and everyone I love and then on the FOURTH trip she was like no living breathing thinking creature is less than a person and how dare you try to dehumanise someone like that how dare you not give her a name and the list GOES ON this woman NEVER MISSED there goes one of the kindest bravest most constant women you might ever meet and she's a temp from Chiswick

Companions + first reaction to the inside of the TARDIS

you know bill is fighting for her life in the immortal(ish) queer ex-companion squad

[stompandhollar]

reminding everyone that the in-universe problem with The Doctor and The Master isn’t “ooo horrible nasty enemies who hate each other and don’t get along and fight all the time but are also in love”

the problem is that they get along. the problem is that they can’t stop themselves from falling naturally into a rhythm of riffing off one another and enjoying the other’s company. THAT is the problem. the problem is that it works and that’s the thing that caused all their issues. they like one another. they just click.

martha jones 🤝 donna noble 🤝 ruby sunday

racing to prevent an apocalypse, without the doctor, in an alternate timeline that ultimately never comes to be due to their efforts, their efforts that no one will ever know of as the wheel of time keeps on turning with barely a feather ruffled

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

Time to clown again.

[robiniswriting]

martha jones is stronger than the us marines because i think i would have killed anyone that treated me the way the doctor treated her in cold blood. he starts off their time together by kissing her passionately in a hospital hallway and when she’s like “who are you omg?” he starts waxing poetic to her about this random girl she’s never met. and then he ends their time together by having homoerotic tension with and then sobbing over the body of a man who just made her have the worst year of her life. its a wonder she didn’t go apeshit

the duo to end all duos

when you hate on rose tyler this is who you're being mean to. btw. which is frankly unconscionable

russell is truly doing whatever the fuck atp

I desperately need a doctor who companion that is goth. doctor asks where they want to go next and they, with spark in their eyes, say they want to visit the oldest cemetery in the galaxy. they are absolutely obsessed with weird, dead (and undead), scary things and it IS an ongoing joke. they are dying to see a vampire. and they would serve cunt with their outfits! or something. I'm projecting.
