Always Remember That Steven Moffat Used To Post And Comment On Forums Discussing Doctor Who Many Years

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

God he’s so fine

Also I just realised he’s LOOKING AT ROGUES RING?!

okay actually i do need to say this. before i sleep. because if you genuinely believe that buck. BUCK BUCKLEY. truly saw a future with tommy and that this relationship was any different to his previous relationships. you do not understand buck buckley and frankly you never have. like, this is made abundantly clear during the conversation with josh. if you actually care to pay attention. because time and time again buck bases his identity, self-worth and happiness on the person he is dating. josh asks him if he considers tommy's happiness in the same way he considers his own. and buck's answer is yes, of course. because he is fundamentally unable to tell the difference between the two. because he thinks that making tommy happy is the same as being happy himself. when, actually, it's at the expense of his own happiness. he misunderstands entirely what josh is trying to say. he impulsively asks tommy to move in with him because he thinks it will make tommy happy which will then also make him happy. because buck is nothing if not a people pleaser. due to, well. the Trauma. he never got off the hamster wheel. dating a man didn't fix any of this. because it was never about that (and suggesting it was is, well. biphobic actually). buck's issue has always been that he does not know how to be in a relationship without shrinking himself down to the shape and size of a person he thinks his partner wants and losing himself in the process. which he was about to do again. and well. lmao. for once tommy's self-preservation was actually a good thing. because wow, that could have been taylor all over again.

“The last of the time lords” “the most dangerous prime minister” repeat those phrases one more time and the Master is going to climb out of the damn tooth

I love the doctor who fandom. For pretty much any given episode, half the fandom will love it, and the other half think it's the worst thing to ever exist. (This goes for doctors, companions, seasons, and creatures too)

I love doctor who.

Hello yes we have a silly guy who travels the universe with a (usually young, human) companion and gets into silly space adventures! We have been running for sixty years, figuratively because the show has been running, and literally because boy do we love getting chased down corridors. There are three different eras of the show and a movie! It is literally impossible to watch all of doctor who because a lot of the older episodes were destroyed by the BBC. There is no way to know everything about the show, to archive everything about the show you'd need a hive mind of autistic people with doctor who special interests. Still not enough? There are audio dramas! Three season 1s! Two season 2s! 15-20 versions of the main character (they are all the same guy). Horror! Comedy! Fantasy! Scifi! The worst episode you've ever seen in your life! The most transcendent experience imaginable! The good episodes are good for the same reason that the bad episodes are bad! Don't like a writer? Wait a few years! Don't like the main character? Wait a few years! Doctor who! It's been your dream show at some point in time, and will be again!

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

"Look Pim, I know it's our job to help this guy and everything, but I think this guy's a lost cause. "

they matched freak like no one else in all of history

being an eighth doctor adventures fan is so hard. how do i explain to people that i want them to read an unfinished postmodernist series of 73 pulp science fiction novels from the early 2000s that's made up of a bunch of writers arguing about how to best fundamentally deconstruct dr who as a concept
