No wonder why Fourteen is the reincarnation that needs to heal, that needs to stop, that needs to retire… considering everything that happened to Thirteen.
Every reincarnation had their hard moments, but I feel like Thirteen really went through A LOT.
After all :
she fell from her TARDIS just after she regenerate
she had to fight evil while still regenerating, a thing the Doctor rarely did with new people around
she had to make her sonic screwdriver herself
she lost her TARDIS (almost twice)
she made a friend she can never see again or it would destroy the universe
she had to face the consequences of her mercy
she learnt that the one who once was her friend is back
also yes, Gallifrey is destroyed
also also, she discovered she had other regenerations but zero memories about it
also also also, she learnt that she wasn’t from the dimension she had always known
she was so knock-out by this new that she didn’t try to escape from prison
she spent A FEW DECADES in prison
surrounded by some of her worst enemies
while trying to find more about her past, the Flux was coming
she learnt that she was the reason the Flux was created
until she ended the Flux, she didn’t take a break
she was splint in three
one of herself was tortured physically and mentally, mind and body destroyed and reborn over and over again
she had to see the erasure of multiple planets and species
everything she knew about time were lies
while struggling with her feelings towards a human she knew she couldn’t grow with, some of her ex-companions reappeared
she had been forced regenerated
while trying to free one of the great mysteries of the universe, her nemesis used it to wound her fatally
she regenerated alone, not wanting Yaz to be the new Rose, or Clara
I loved how caring, dynamic, curious and positive this incarnation was, despite the fact that she had no idea Who she was herself. It showed a vulnerability in the Doctor that we don’t often see and her lack of hubris was refreshing (considering it was the thing I hated the most about Ten).
Even if those seasons had many, many inconsistencies, unclear timelines and strange ideas, I loved her era and how Russel T Davies showed her trauma through Fourteen’s eyes, proving that this was the last straw that broke the Doctor in two (hehe) and how much he needed to rest. It was an astounding performance by David Tennant who didn’t act like Ten but indeed like Fourteen, it was positively insane.
However, I’m also really scared that Russel just throws away everything else that happened to Thirteen. Especially the good. Fourteen does have a family now, but he better not forgets his « fam ». He better not forgets he was a brilliant woman. Perhaps the strongest doctor.

history 101 💛
This was originally just supposed to be me having fun exploring what Ephemer would be like as a teacher but it got a bit out of hand in a good way (but I think I spent way too long on this lol)
Notes:
I wholeheartedly believe that teaching is Eph’s true passion. While writing Overmorrow, I came to realize that his role as a teacher/master is necessary in ensuring that light and the will of the keyblade lives on, but it’s also something he would just genuinely enjoy doing on a personal level. Aside from being able to infodump to his heart’s content (that’s a big deal! 😄), he can also help, inspire, and lead as a teacher! I think if he does actually establish the Keyblade order/academy in canon, it would be his pride and joy
Eph’s actual classroom may not have looked like kh3/dr’s, but I like to believe it was probably similarly designed. (He learned a lot about teaching from Hestia 🥰)
Lyra first appeared here :) the rest of the students are new, I made them up on the spot
my ass could not have handled making Overmorrow as a webcomic
