The Sharon Carter Fans greet you, Dr. Strange Fans.

They had to kill Ricky September because he would've been smart enough to go with the doctor, and then he'd have stayed as a companion, and the doctor couldn't have handled having a friend who's actually called Ricky AND who he doesn't think is an idiot

Chase: So I put the keys in this formation and then I uh...I...uhm, are you sure about this Dorkin?

Deacon: It's what the keys said you'd have to do and they probably know the ritual better than you

Chase: Yeah, but they've also been asleep everytime they went through it

Deacon: Come on Chase, we've come so far, you can't chicken out now!

Chase: I-...I'm not chickening out, it's just...are we 100% sure this is what I'm supposed to do?

Deacon: What other information do we have?

Chase: I...ok, I'll do it...for mom

Chase: Here goes nothing I guess

Torchwood really be like, "there's nothing after death" until they remember Ianto exists. Where instead it's all, "Ianto has a canonical golden aura btw."

(Golden auras are related to soul contracts, the afterlife, and reincarnation).

and then Doctor Who is all, "faith is bad and isn't real."

While Torchwood One is all, "I only follow the word of God."

So you’re tellin me after all these years I was supposed to identify the companion and not with the doctor!?!

His missing social cues, rambling and infodumping, inherent chaotic thought processes and the words he uses to express them are intended to look weird to me and not be relatable???

Did I get that right?

I am…in shambles.

[infiniterambles]

I just watched End of Time part 1 and 2 for the first time. And it was SO GOOD!

However I keep thinking about that one scene where the doctor says something along the lines of like, “it’s a phrase used to inspire during times of trouble” when he was talking about the word Allons-y.

The thing is

The fucking thing is

I was fully expecting him to say, “fuck it, we ball”

Zeb Wells I'm in your walls because what the actual fuck is this shit???

Because it definitely isn't something Spiderman whose gone out of his way to visit fans dying of cancer or other medical conditions or tried to save a homeless girl who was a fan of him only to be too late, would say.

[lanawinterscigarettes]

being a doctor who fan is great and all until you're jolted awake from a dead sleep at five in the fucking morning because the image of a weeping angel popped into your brain for no apparent reason

Disclaimer im just processing some thoughts im not cancelling the show

have almost thoughts about how i find the like....narrative on here that if you have chronic "zebra" conditions youd want a doctor like House and wouldnt sue for malpractice bc at least youd have a doctor that cares about whats wrong with you but lets take it one step further. so often he does NOT give a shit about the patient and actively endangers them frequently with his god damn heoric era of medicine approach? non zero amount of times he gets a diagnosis but it comes too late, or he gets a diagnosis after their first wrong 3 guesses of the episode shut down the patients kidneys and they either have to get a transplant or they are just, doomed due to other preexisting conditions etc? idk. i know ppl are almost certainly exaggerating and just letting off steam about the very real failures of our current medical systems and the ableism baked in and All That Shit. i just think its weird how ppl romanticize House who STILL, FREQUENTLY, MULTIPLE EPISODES will actively dismiss shit in the exact way that is a problem in our current system, especially when hes being Forced Against His Will To See Clinic Parients, he loves to be dismissive as fuck of symptoms and if he was a real doctor i think he'd be fucking 50/50 on cases he Notices Something To Dig Into vs cases he dismisses as an Anxious Hysterical Woman Who Wants Attention, the only reason he's Right so frequently in his snap judgements is cos it reinforces the narrative. its like a crime drama that has the mastermind serial killer masterfully using "loopholes" and lawyering up all sneaky and dodging Justice and if only our poor little cop protags were allowed to do A TEENY BIT of Justified Police Brutality, they could Save Lives!

and like sometimes in the show they will have a patient die despite his efforts to narratively punish him. not to mention, i think its been at least mildly brought up and glossed over how much they absolutely do not think about insurance costs for these ppl for the insane amount of tests that find nothing and Wrong Medications To Force A Diagnosis they use? i think it was brought up once in the episode following a day in the life of cuddy where she had to fight a lawsuit bc a guys insurance like didnt cover his thumb being reattached but chase reattached it anyway while in surgery cos it was The Right Thing To Do and the guy didnt have the money to cover it and the insurance wouldnt pay unless he sued the hospital or whatever. thats like the only time its come up. whereas like frequently the doctor I go to for osteopathic manipulation tries to check in with me and make sure im covered by insurance etc and that im not going to go broke or get buried in medical debt seeing her.

idk. just some Thoughts. not a defense of our current system and all the flaws it enables and enforces etc. his approach to medicine is really reminiscent to me of what I know of the Heroic Era Of Medicine which i dont...love? and hes framed on here as being an asshole but would kill for his patients to get them a diagnosis etc. but hes definitely extremely paternalistic to patients ? and despite some good clippable lines about ableism and being against eugenics, it honestly feels like his stance on that is kind of a toss up.

something noone really tells you about is how your first fandom never really leaves you. like, you haven't watched/read it or read any fic for it in ages but still...it lingers

it lingers in the back of your mind, peeking out occasionally to see what your new hyperfixation is and no matter what you do, no matter how much new media you consume, you will ALWAYS wonder what a crossover between the two would be like. you might even search one out, hoping someone else has had the same idea and actually put pen to paper but that is a rare occurrence indeed

anyway i can't stop thinking ab a doctor who/six of crows crossover and wonder what would happen if Kaz ever met the Doctor (which one? I couldn't say). he'd probably just nick the TARDIS tbh
