So I'm not seeing much coverage of this on Tumblr, not really much talk about the state of Doctor Who at all but it's kinda wild how much of a free pass RTD gets in Who fandom given he's got a very long chain dodgy behaviour. The most recent of which being in promoting his drama about how the gay community is under attack he talked about how he's consulted with his gender critical friends about it.

For those unaware too the producers of both his eras were behind the mistreatment of crew that lead Eccleston to leave the show, and they have a habit of throwing actors they work with like Eccleston, Gatwa and Gibson under the bus.

I'm not saying cancel him or anything, I just think it's weird that him and his eras are treated as these unproblematic spots of bliss you get hounded for giving the same criticism as any other era.

Like people will say "if you read this Chibnall episode in this specific way it's regressive, there for Chibnall is horrible and problematic" but you can't have an honest discussion about some of the weirder things about the way the 2000s era handled race or the dodgy elements of Doctor/Rose let alone the unsafe set environment that nearly killed 3 extras.

None of this is saying stop liking an era or anything but they're all just as able to be read in problematic ways and to have an honest discussion you need to acknowledge that.

But also if one was gonna be the holy grail can we make it one where severe sexual misconduct didn't happen on set?

I love the Doctor as a character because they are one of the smartest, strongest people in the universe and yet they also eat dirt and are the reason shampoo has instructions

Oh The God Complex I love you so much... You're so important to me... The way they shot the 'breaking Amy's faith' scene is getting to me again... The Doctor saying "I'm no hero... I really am just a madman in a box. And it's time we saw each other as we really are" and then the shot changes and he's speaking to child Amy... That's who's in front of him... The little girl who waited for him and never truly grew up until now. We're seeing her as she really is as long as she keeps her blind faith in the Raggedy Man... And then the camera switches to his face, the Doctor leans in to kiss her forehead and when we see Amy again it's her adult self in front of us, because her faith was broken. The Doctor did it. The little girl is gone. He saved her life by killing a part of her.

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS FOR EVERY DOCTOR WHO FAN

So incase anyone wasn't aware one of the regions, like Brazil and the US, outside of the UK that has a substantial Who following is China. Unlike the former two though China has it's own bespoke merch line and, for whatever reason, they market the show like it's Miffy or Hello Kitty.

They're so adorable, I love how Eleven looks completely Gormless and Ten looks infuriating to talk to. Both are very accurate

Twelve's attack eyebrows and Fifteen's Moustache are so cute too.

To anyone in the UK you can find some of them for sale here

i always get unreasonably emotional watching the Doctor interact with children. especially since i’ve just rewatched the Time of the Doctor, when he was playing with those kids in Christmas. teaching them the drunk giraffe. fixing their toys. ‘cool is uncool’. collecting all their drawings and hanging them in pride of place in his home. loving and supporting each and every one of them. being unequivocally there for these kids in a really scary time in their lives. the person who was denied a childhood in every single way making their childhoods fantastic. giving them the love they need. cool is uncool. don’t fucking talk to me i’m crying

Eleven looks so cute! I want to boop his nonexistent nose.

[bobert-man]

Haha, same. He was made for this artstyle. It's more him than he is in the show

moffat: people keep calling the doctor the lonely god because of his legacy and impact but actually he’s still just one guy. matt smith voice i really am just a madman with a box.

rtd: ok so the doctor is one of the household gods and also if everyone prays to him i mean thinks really hard about him he’s resurrect himself from that Thang to full david tennant and float towards the master from white light

fans, for some reason: moffat is the one that makes the doctor out to be a god :)

It's crazy how much people get it mixed up when you watch the show and it's literally just like

Moffat: The Doctor's undeniable influence leaves a mark on every person he meets and every place he goes, and these marks make it very easy for him to gain enemies which in turn hurt his friends. The Doctor's legacy is detrimental to himself and hundreds of innocent people, and despite all of this the Doctor's power over the narrative comes from the fact that he is consciously a character from a storybook and is still just a deadbeat suicidal nerd who plays guitar.

Fans: Moffat is uncritically making the Doctor a godlike ultra important entity >:(

Chibnall: the Doctor is a victim of horrendous child abuse which helped create the fascist system they ran away from. Their powers are detrimental to them because they could not help but be born with them, which warrants torture and experimentation to exploit them for resources. The Doctor therefore struggles with their sense of self and is a perpetual Other

Fans: Chibnall is making the Doctor the most important being in the universe >:(

RTD: the Doctor is a tormented comic book hero who is so beloved by all but is capable of irrevocably fucking up you and your planet if you commit genocide or murder, something he also does frequently. When he does something good he is worshipped as a household god and when he does something bad he looks very very sad No consequences for him please

Fans: wow :) I love when the Doctor is just a little guy
