I Did This At 3 Am

You couldn't do a straightforward Human Nature plot set in the 12th Doctor era bc if 12 got fobwatched Clara would immediately steal his identity. Missy would also steal his identity. Absolutely insane Doctorfication possibilities.

Also, 12's forgotten memories canonically manifest as songs AND he's faceblind, so he wouldn't even have a dramatic dream journal full of half-remembered portraits, he'd just be hanging out in his university office shredding guitar solos while Bill (who he just met) is like "Wow, sick riff Professor Smith!" and he's like "Thanks, it's called I Dreamt I Rode a Dinosaur."

it’s hilarious to me that the “aging the doctor 100 years on the valiant” thing serves NO purpose to the plot except making the whole situation less sexy. because if they hadn’t done that it would have been unairably sexy

when i decide im not going

"Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Mrs Baddeley's plum pudding!" "I am nothing I am nobody" haha great! what if I died in the time loop

ao3 down: mass casualty event

Hey so back in 2005 when that guy said death is the doctor's constant companion.. he was NOT joking

the eighth doctor could do heaven sent AND the twelfth doctor(+clara) could do scherzo

doctor/river/jack is the funniest poly ship cos they are all married to each other , they are all the third wheel, and if they ever met up at the same time it would likely result in jack and river having a,quite frankly,ungodly amount of sex prob both thinking about the doctor whilst the doctor is in the garden w/ headphones on trying to get caterpillars to unionise or smth
