Christopher Eccleston as THE NINTH DOCTOR Doctor Who (2005—) | 1.10 "The Doctor Dances"

rewatch time

[klikandtuna]

I had never watched even a single episode of Doctor Who until a couple of months ago, when some friends convinced me to give it a shot. (I’d never particularly NOT wanted to watch, just…never had)

And I fell in love with a set of giant ears and a big goofy grin, and then he was TAKEN FROM ME IMMEDIATELY and without any warning and I was very upset for several days.

We’ve been watching two episodes a week, and today happened to be “Army of Ghosts” and “Doomsday” so, you know, just…don’t talk to me, I’m a friggin mess

Posting my 9th Doctor fanart here cause the 9th Doctor admirers are hard to find and if there's a place of all places where you can find any crowd, it's here!

Oh, and I caught your little signal. Help me. Poor little thing. But there's no one else coming 'cause there's no one else left.

You have to understand that the reason why Nine is my favorite doctor is not because he is grizzled or edgy or a bad boy- it is because he is, fundamentally, kind. He is full of hope and optimism and compassion and he tries to convince himself that he is wrong to do so because the world tries to convince him otherwise (Jabe's death, Dalek, Adam, the Time War, the Slitheen, etc.) And yet at every opportunity he is given he is in awe of the majesty of the universe and the wonder of human kindness and Rose is important because she reinforces this over and over, her ferocious humanity, her relentless empathy, her flirty teasing, her incredible warmth, the fact that she reaches out to a Dalek with kindness.

And it's not just Rose, either- there is Jack and Cathica and Jabe and Lynda with a Y and Harriet Jones and even Mickey and Jackie, they are all so incredible, so flawed and complicated and wonderful and Fantastic.

I love Nine because he is hopeful and kind and a coward, not a killer, any day. I love Nine because of the absolute sheer, healing joy we see as he gets to shout "Just this once, Rose. Just this once. Everybody lives!"

I love Nine because, at his core, he is the Doctor. He is a healer. He is angry and traumatized and carrying the weight of the universe but most of all, his heart, damaged and broken and so full of love for the universe and humanity and one girl in particular that he welcomed the time vortex into himself without a single regret. He regenerated not with tragedy or regret, but with pride and optimism.

I love Nine because "You were fantastic, Rose. And you know what? So was I."

Early NuWho is great, every episode is just like

The Doctor: "Welcome to Space Wonderland, where the humans and aliens of the future have figured out how to live in total peace and harmony."

Rose Tyler, beelining to the nearest member of staff: "Are you union?"

Some kind of creature below deck: "I am tired of the humans imprisoning me and cutting chunks of meat off me in order to maintain Space Wonderland so I have decided I am going to kill everyone here and then myself."

i sketched the guy…. AHHHHHHHHH

major props to christopher eccleston for acting out the lines "i couldn't save your world. i couldn't save any of them" with such subtle and layered emotions while also pretending to struggle against mannequin people trying to throw him into a pit of lava (he is very clearly standing on a styrofoam pad lit by LED lights)

Episode 2: The End of the World "You think it'll last forever, the people and cars and concrete. But it won't. One day it's all gone, even the sky. My planet's gone. It's dead. It burned like the Earth. It's rocks and dust before its time."
