The TARDIS was like yeah this hyperactive bitch needs space for the zoomies. AND SHE WAS RIGHT!!!!

It’s not just Rose. It’s nine million people.

Learning about the Doctor Who specials' expanded budget: oh no, what if they overuse CGI to look more 'professional' and high-budget?

The first scene of the Doctor Who Special:

I'm not sure people realise just how important this second of television is.

Showing a person in a wheelchair crossing her legs. Using her legs.

After what rtd said about davros and rose in the unleashed episodes, this was 100 percent done on purpose.

When I go out in a wheelchair I am terrified to make it noticeable that I can use my legs. Because ... well we all know why and I'm not really articulate enough to go into everything.

But this. This right here. I doubt anyone who uses a wheelchair didn't have a doubletake. A glimmer. A KNOWING about just how important this tiny, insignificant action was.

And I'm fucking here for it

The meep going “my pronouns are ‘the’” and the Doctor going “oh yeah, me too” amazing

[this-simplefeeling]

something something ten was rarely wearing less than three layers representing his being very closed off and scared of vulnerability, while fourteen sheds his coat early on and has rolled up sleeves most of the time to parallel his being far more comfortable with his emotions and the vulnerability that comes with it or something idk

doctor who coming back in the year of 2023 when terfism and biological essentialism and transphobia are on the rise and making one of THE most hyped up episodes by bringing back fan favorites david tennant and catherine tate. all about being trans

showing rose being bullied and her grandma struggling to get it right but still being supportive. and shaun and donna being the greatest parents by being ready to burn the world down to protect their daughter. the doctor asking for the meep's pronouns AND IT'S NORMAL???

and all of that is brilliant to see rose as a trans character and it is important to the narrative. BUT THEN. ROSE BEING TRANS SAVES DONNA'S LIFE BY TAKING HALF OF THE METACRISIS. BECAUSE THE DOCTOR IS MALE AND FEMALE AND NEITHER AND MORE. AND THAT IS INTEGRAL TO DOCTOR WHO AS A WHOLE. and it saved donna's life

to see doctor who be so BLATANTLY trans and nonbinary at the core of the series. the multiple references to the fact that before fourteen, thirteen was a woman. so to see this? trans people stay winning. thank you doctor who for doubling down on the importance of the doctor being trans because oh my god I am so emotional about this

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

rose noble is so funny because she literally IS thee fanfic mary sue 'oh I was just a normal everyday outcast girl who felt like she didn't belong until one day as a teenager I found out I'm related to the doctor' like even down to the cutesy dresses paired with sneakers and saving the world when the doctor thought all hope was lost. except her mom is donna and that is 100% cooler than anything the alien dna can offer her lmao

Doctor Who since the 2023, specials

[davidtennan-t]

let me tell you I DIED

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa16]

This. This is devastating. It shows how Donna's character growth from s4 was eradicated when he wiped her memory, and I think that is what the Doctor was most afraid of; that his best friend who is so special to him still thinks she's a 'no-one'.

[stevenrogered]

Oh, I know some roads even taxi drivers don’t. Trust me. 

[catabasis]

i love that we're using any pronouns for the Fourteenth Doctor. she's our silly girl, he's our beautiful boy, they're our beloved alien

[koschgay]

today I am missing the thirteenth doctor and her ‘no gender only weird little guy’ vibes. she’s not good at letting stuff go she’s good at eating dirt and hiding things from her friends. she’s not a woman she’s four raccoons in a sky blue trench coat with the most compellingly autistic personality ever seen in an alien. she’s a disaster but she’s my disaster.
