Gwen’s text on the computer will never not be funny to me. Do you think that was the moment, they decided she had the exact amount of braincells to join the team?
“They use this stuff they find it and use it but theyc an do whart they want, noone;s in charge of thrmdes NO ONE cos they don’t anbsweerr to anyne” <= fav part.
If I had been Ianto I would have erased everything except that section. Just imagine Gwen’s confused face reading that in the morning. If this doesn’t capture the vibe of writing late at night, I don’t know what does.
Cutting from Jack’s “All alien tech stays at the hub” to showing every team member (except Ianto*) using some alien tech stolen from the hub will never get old.
*Ianto does the exact opposite which is also not good
Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who: hehe, it's the guy that flirts with everyone!
Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood: isn't it ironic that the man who can't die is surrounded by death? isn't it funny that he runs away from the consequences just like the Doctor runs away from him? doesn't it kill you, Jack? doesn't it hurt?
I think it's pretty funny that doomscrolling social media can be described like watching a car crash you can't look away from but part of the reason I left instagram is reels literally wouldn't stop showing me car crashes
thinking about how many people only know fob as generic pop punk and have never experienced folie a deux
my girllll
something funny about torchwood is that it needs trigger warnings for a lot of stuff, but also half of that stuff you’re not even sure how to trigger warn FOR
new who peaked when it had christopher eccleston look the last living dalek dead in the eyestalk & tell it to kill itself, only for the response to be "you would make a good dalek" there is absolutely no topping that.
are you five nights at fucking kidding me
"it was in 2020" oh so like a year or so ago. a couple years. im sorry 5? did you just say five? five years ago ?
jack harkness meets the 12th doctor and he goes oh you took that face to remind you of the time you let down me and every child on earth. and the doctor goes ??? no you see one time there was this volcano-
The Doctor being able to to hear non-diegetic music explains why Eleven always fixed his bowtie so dramatically. Motherfucker could always hear 'I am the Doctor' blasting and acted accordingly.
yay!
Just saw an aftersun edit to "do I look like him" nobody talk to me ever again

Fuck the integrity of Doctor Who, keep making it until the sun explodes, change the lore until it's unrecognizable, let that shit spiral into the ground!
people have talked before about the ten/wilfred and fourteen/donna parallel with the glass wall, but i don't think i've seen anyone mention the cruel irony of it yet?
like think about it: ten sacrificed his life to save wilfred and he would have done so too, more than gladly, to save donna in the star beast. but he couldn't. it was her or 9 million people and i'm not even sure what he would have done, if he would have been able to go through with it or not, had donna herself not told him to.
"why does it have to be this?" he screamed in frustration, because he'd been there before, except this time the decision wasn't his to make
i love re-consuming media i used to love when i was younger. like wow! child me still is in me i am holding her hand and keeping her safe and doing her favorite things with her!!!!
....I'd have two nickels
i was so distraught and upset at the good omens s2 ending of david tennant being left by the blonde love of his life and crying alone in his semi-sentient vehicle after an almost confession that was never said that i started watching dr who
and guess what fucking happened
rory williams is literally the most insane character. in love with the local batshit girl. best friend growing up was crimes georg. got erased from existence and turned into a plastic roman. 2000 years guarding a box. also the most normal man you've ever met. it's like he practices being normal. his hobby is Being Normal. he's a normal nurse who wants a normal life with two and a half kids and a picket fence. he's perfectly happy with the Fucking Insane life he has with amy instead, regardless.
his problem solving skills involve "tactical suicide" and "telling the eldritch entity possessing the tardis it should torture him and amy instead of killing them". these work. he also steals and carries around future and alien first aid stuff, apparently.
he became emperor of rome for a bit. he narrowly dodged becoming king of camelot. he knows how to dual wield a shortsword and a gun.
rory williams is a Perfectly Normal Man, despite all of this.
Doctor Who text posts
the doctor's next companion is an alien that's played by a hand puppet, except as the series goes on it's more and more obvious that this 'companion' actually is a hand puppet, and the doctor is just very, very lonely
Doctor Who text posts: Twelve edition – pt. 9
apologies to the doctors whose heads got covered by the post if I’d made it any smaller it became illegible
There's something to be said about Heaven Sent/Hell Bent, despite the Doctor overthrowing the Time Lord Council and spending four and a half billion years in the confession dial and him and Clara and Me meeting at the end of universe, therefore technically spanning the longest time span, being fundamentally the smallest in stakes of any of the modern Doctor Who finales. At the end of the day, there is no threat to earth or the galaxy or the universe or reality. It's just about two people and the way that they turn each other inside out and the way that they reflect each other as two sides of the same coin and the way their relationship was always going to end this way- with the flip of the coin, spinning in the air, each trying to override the other, each trying to take control of the story, each haunting each other forever.
It's under my microscope. It's rotating rent free in my head. It's everything good about Moffat's writing- fairytale vibes, wrenching character work, two characters that thematically parallel each other- and none of the bad, because he's not trying to be too clever or fuck with the rules too much, there's a couple of simple concepts played straight to their inevitable conclusions: Clara Oswald needs to die but the Doctor can't let it happen, he wants her to forget but she can't let it happen, so they both will do the most devasting things in the world to stop the other and they both get their way in the end but only in a way that will leave them haunting each other forever.
And it's so fucking good.
