I often think about how Hannibal tricked people into cannibalism. it’s really easy to right this off as Hannibal just being sick and twisted, a psychopath, but its clearly something much deeper than that to Hannibal. Not only because he’s lonely and wants someone to understand him, enjoy this with him, but to console himself. He was forced to eat his own sister whom he loved and he enjoyed it. Every time he watches someone else enjoy it he feels righteous, he feels normal.
He does it to prove to himself he’s not a monster. Anyone else would feel the same in his situation. So he forces people over, and over, and over, to the same conclusion.
To comfort the sad little boy inside filled with doubt.
real reason donna lost her memories is bc if she had been in the end of time she would have taken one look at the doctor master weirdness and locked them in a room until they actually figured out their issues
A Doctor and their companion(s) are inserted into the plot of an episode which they did not experience in place of their counterparts who canonically experienced it. ¿Which of these would you like to see the most?
¡Please reblog and explain your answer in the tags!
Ruby: “Will I ever see you again doctor”
Well great news Ruby we still have to figure out what the fuck is going on with your neighbor so I imagine he’ll be around
Rogue
anyway. onto better things
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."
This week’s Doctor Who was like when my 4 year old begs me to play Barbies and I finally agree but she only lets me play with the two Ken dolls while she hogs all the other barbies. So I’m annoyed already. She launches into some crazy story that only she knows the details of cause she is 4. While she is going on about a ball and bird aliens or whatever, I am just sitting there with the Kens, making them talk about nothing, like she is the one who wanted me to play and now she has forgotten I’m even here. If I leave though, she will cry so I just do my thing. But then I start getting too into it, fleshing out Ken 1 and Ken 2’s backstories and why they’re at the Barbie ball etc. They’re connecting. They’ve never felt this way before. And all of a sudden, just as Ken 1 is about to confess his love, my daughter grabs Ken 2 and tosses him in a bucket, saying “oh no! The bad birds sent Ken to space!” And she is laughing. And I am in shock. Ken 1 is crying. Ken 2 is gone?? The baby monitor goes off, my real life baby is awake and needs a bottle. Real life daughter is done with barbies and ready for a snack. What am I doing. I will find you Ken 2, I will find you and we’ll travel across the stars.
imagine your best friend, the person you're deeply in love with, asks you to kill him because the universe is in danger and this is how you can save it. if you don't kill him, this monster that has taken control of his body (a monster that has already threatened you and hit you, all while looking like your best friend) will destroy linear time itself. this is an awful, terrible position for you to be in, most likely the most difficult choice you will ever have to make in your life — either stab someone you love, or let the universe be destroyed. and your best friend knows this is terrible for you because obviously it would be, but he especially knows how difficult this is because there was a time when the situation was reversed and you asked him to do the same thing. you were about to be used as a weapon to destroy everything that has ever existed in a process that would be excruciatingly painful for you as well as existentially horrifying, and you asked your best friend to spare you from that and save the universe and he looked at you and said "I can't" and now he has the audacity to ask you for the same thing, knowing exactly how difficult that choice is, knowing that he couldn't make that same choice himself. charley pollard is absolutely the bravest damn person in that room and she deserved to stab the doctor for real.
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 lied i dont actually like sex put your clothes back on we're going to go through the entire thoschei timeline and talk about what each incarnation represents in their history and how they all relate back to the master audio where theta killed torvic and sold the masters fate so that they could be the doctor
