all of you 'what if ruby's the doctor's daughter' 'what if ruby's river's daughter' 'what if ruby's susan's daughter' theorists are thinking too small. what if ruby's the doctor's mum

oh my god this is years late but everyones perception of kerblam is literally wrong??? when the doctor said the "system" wasn't wrong, she meant automation? not the company? like the concept of automation isn't inherently wrong (there is a good point for making dangerous and menial tasks automated) and it wasn't trying to hurt people. And when she said the people exploiting the system were wrong she meant people exploiting automation (including charlie, who was using it to kill people so the system would take the fall. the doctor even points out he isnt an acitivst, he's just killing people). the metaphor is a bit fumbly. but it was never pro company/amazon?? the episode ends with a focus on the company being people led. man, i dont think ill ever not get annoyed with the way people bring this episode up to make series 11 look bad.

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.

all i have to say, after listening to the natural history of fear, is what the fuck? paul mcgann sure eats a rat

hi hello

Paul McGann ate a rat in one audio. The eighth doctor did not eat a rat in one audio. There’s a difference.

i'm trying not to judge the person in the paul mcgann tag who's listening through his audios and rated creed of the kromon higher than scherzo but holy shit. there really are infinite and variable kinds of people in the world with infinite and variable tastes, aren't there? fascinating

relistening to some of the earlier Big Finish stories is so so important for the reminder that a lot of dr who is actually bad and it’s an absolutely necessary part of the dr who ecosystem. imagine if every story were a scherzo or the natural history of fear or jubilee. dr who is healthiest when it’s mostly shitty and then they hit you with one of the most incredible insane things you’ve ever encountered. and right after that it’s bad again

It's so hot how intelligent Hannigram are.... FBI out here chasing their own tails meanwhile Hannibal and Will solved the case in THEIR OWN WAY... I'm taking about Mural guy btw... Hannibal and Will both realised the latest guy got himself free from the stitchings (Hannibal from his intimate knowledge of anatomy and Will using his galaxy brain to reach a unique conclusion), Hannibal figuring out the location with his olfactory senses, Will thinking 'Well what does this killer need? An isolated place nearby water', and they both reached the killer after taking different paths.. that's so incredible to me... it highlights their unique talents and individual thinking processes, like.. they're profoundly different but they reach the same place in the end after taking their own paths.

Me and my homophobic grandma watched “Rogue” the other day and she shipped Rogue and the Doctor. Glad to know that the chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa and Jonathan Groff was so powerful that it could cure someone of homophobia.

Rogue

God he’s so fine

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

2014: neil gaiman is #1 women respecter! we love neil!! he’s so progressive :3 steven moffat is the WORST misogynist tv writer ever he is soooo sexist he CANNOT write a woman. he’s so evil. i bet he’s secretly a conservative. i bet he wrote that “tight skirt” line in a nightmare in silver

2024: steven moffat has banged out a 4-part drama that examines the complicity of men in the media industry which normalises sexual abuse of their female colleagues, under the guise of a “comedy” about “cancel culture”. his latest doctor who episode was a scathing attack on the military-industrial complex under capitalism. Neil Gaiman is a confirmed abusive predator and zionist

Saw a really stupid reactionary thumbnail today and this part in particular is so fucking funny. They clearly do not realize the irony in using this particular incarnation of the doctor to say this

July is Disability Pride Month: we want to acknowledge all the disabled Palestinians in Gaza who are currently unable to access care. Over the past 9 months, dozens of hospitals have been severely damaged or destroyed entirely, hundreds of healthcare workers have been killed, and the Israeli government has blocked almost all aid from entering Gaza. This has left disabled Gazans with extremely limited access to vital healthcare. Additionally, many people have become disabled due to the genocide itself, through injuries, starvation, and trauma.

happy disability pride month to people who not able read this message because can’t read because intellectual disability or cognitive disability or other disability or because not given education because people around don’t think they can learn because disability

happy disability pride month to people who not know can’t know what that is what that means because intellectual/cognitive/etc disability

What's some advice you wish you received much earlier

"When people come to you to establish a boundary or a need or to express hurt feelings, that's a compliment, not an attack. That is them wanting to develop the relationship and trusting you to listen and care to do better. And no matter how sad you are about accidentally hurting them, it's a GOOD thing that they cared to have a hard conversation with you"

"average doctor who character loses their memories five times in their run" factoid is a statistical error. eight & charley, who lose their memories in almost every story they're in, are outliers and should not be counted

the reveal about ruby’s mother actually makes perfect sense when you think about it. why else would someone name their baby by pointing at a random sign in the middle of the night and dress in wizard robes while leaving said baby behind on a doorstep in a church if they weren’t a teenager whacked out of their mind on pain medications

finally listened to scherzo and alas as a 2023 chronic tumblr user the most coherent commentary my brain can seem to produce is “this too is yuri”

Two Doctor Who Characters: *hold hands*

Me: OMFG SCHERZO REFERENCE!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

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

Hey you know when one of the last times the Doctor said I love you that I can think of is?

Zagreus. He told Charley he loved her. And then she followed him and they spent weeks in sensory deprivation unpacking that and love itself as a concept. And we never heard him say it again.

when they say something so 8phobic you gotta hit em with that grace holloway stare
