one good thing about fourteen hanging around for longer is them getting the chance to slowly evolve into their own individual self and not just TenAgain

(because while I maintain that fourteen WAS literally TenAgain, they're also a lot older, and if they'd stuck around longer they would've started to figure out who they are and what makes them different, even as at first the same core person returned to outward existence)

which means they can finally speak with a Scottish accent

it creeps in gradually, unnoticed, until one day Donna says "hold on.... are you Scottish now?"

and fourteen thinks am I? Is that who I am now? and turns that over in their mind for a moment and goes aye--

and Donna says "well how does that work, you and I both know you're from Not-Gallifrey"

and the Doctor says "no I'm not, I'm Scottish now"

And that's that

Shaun Temple is a fucking real one actually. You meet a woman who has allegedly just had a mental breakdown so severe she's lost a year of her memory. She's loud and brash and is NOT taking your name and you are like ohhh I can't not marry her. You two have a kid, the most amazing daughter in the world. Your wife has a hole in her heart aching for something that she can't identify and your daughter feels like she's from another planet and both of them have dreams they can't explain and you probably chalk that up to them being extraordinary but in an ordinary way where their hearts are too big and their minds are too brilliant to not carry some grief. And then it turns out that oh your wife has a best friend who's a ????? years old Alien that's the last of their species and also your daughter IS part alien bc technically your wife genetically is also part alien but also maybe not now? And then your wife is like. The happiest you've ever seen her and she fucks off for two days but and the world literally starts to end but she fixes it and she brings back her ???? years old alien best friend forever and is like WE'RE KEEPING HIM AND ALSO THIS WOMAN THAT I MET LIKE TEN HOURS AGO and now he's calling you his brother-in-law and is definitely co-parenting now you're like. Just cool with all of that. Not a single hint of jealousy or nothin. Honestly king shit.

ID: fake tweet screenshot based on the mareep plushie meme. The tweet is by Shaun, username TempleTaxi, icon a photo of his and Donna's wedding. The text reads 'Ah yes. Me. My wife. And her mentally ill six foot tall reincarnated alien time-traveler.' Attached is a drawing of Shaun laying in bed in profile, comforter pulled up to his chin as he stares at the ceiling in resignation. On his far side, Donna is laying with her back to him, sleeping soundly with her arm slung over the 14th doctor who is laying on his back on the edge of the bed, fully clothed and on top of the covers. He lifts his head up to peek over Donna's head and wave at Shaun with a grin. /end ID

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

i just know game night at the noble-temple-doctor’s is intense. there’s still feuds over uno matches played weeks ago. sylvia is one draw four away from slapping 14 again, donna is staring daggers at wilf who just skipped her for the 3rd time in a row, rose looks like she’s losing but her hand is full of +2’s and she’s about to rain hellfire upon shaun who is simply happy his family is having game night

[little-alien-duck]

I think it was actually smart and responsible of kate to hire rose bc if she didn't do that rose would be investigating aliens on her own for sure and absolutely getting herself into dangerous situations alone with no resources but working at unit kate can keep her on less dangerous tasks while she's still a kid. the perpetual job of lethbridge-stewarts is to babysit ppl who would otherwise go run headfirst into danger and kate knows that

[a-tad-bit-obsessed]

Shaun only has to see the Doctor and Donna together for brief moments and knows there could never be anything even vaguely romantic between them
