Do you ever think about how the RTD companion kisses perfectly sum up their relationships with the Doctor?
The doctor kissed (and kinda died for) Rose to save her
The doctor kissed Martha because he was using her
And Donna kissed the Doctor to save him
Do you think Zuko was surprised by the end of the show that Katara is actually a really nice person?
So I'm going to preface this by saying if its incoherent it's cause I'm currently in a race to write this post before my sleeping medication knocks me out.
Anyways, I, in my terminal Donna Noble brainrot, had a realization. I think one of the reasons that Ten gets so, so incredibly attached to her (as attached to her as he is to Rose, possibly more I'd argue), is because she reminds him so much of the Master.
Yeah, she's meant to mirror him, but so is the Master. The Master was his childhood friend, the only other person who ever understood him that fully, and he and Donna honestly share a lot of traits. They're both self-absorbed, headstrong, and incredibly lonely. They both tend to lash out at people, and they both tend to have very limited worldviews. Also lbr they're both incredibly dramatic people.
The difference is, Donna is, ultimately, a good person, and while she probably sometimes feels wronged by her lot in life, she ultimately wants to make the universe a better place. The Master, on the other hand, wants revenge, and they want to hurt the universe for wronging them.
Donna is what the Doctor has always wanted the Master to be. Someone who knows them so well and who shares their vision of how the universe should be and how they can help.
And coming into series 4, Ten believes the Master is dead and gone, that he'd lost his oldest and best friend in the universe, and then Donna comes swooping in, all fire and sass and incredibly annoying stubbornness, and such incredibly deep-cutting questions that he's not used to because only one person in the universe has ever known him well enough to ask questions like that.
Ten is a lot more expressive around Donna in a way that he's certainly not with Martha and I'd also argue not with Rose either. With Rose it was about love. It was about how bright and shining and beautiful she was and how the Doctor, with all the blood on his hands, could never be like that. He would follow her to the end of the universe and back because she's such a beacon of good, but he's very reluctant to share those darker parts of himself with her.
Donna is very much not like that. She's flawed. She's self-absorbed and selfish and oftentimes puts her needs above everyone else's. When she and Ten first meet she's kind of a terror. In short, she's not perfect, and i think the fact that she does have those flaws and those ugly bits makes Ten feel a bit more comfortable with being really, truly himself around her. She watched him commit genocide the first time they met, they can't really get much darker than that.
So he's sillier, he's more physically affectionate, he's more open with his issues and he's more open to letting Donna pry into his issues. He's still an emotionally constipated weirdo but so is Donna, and she relates to him on a level that only the Master ever really could.
Also, honestly, there's an element of control there that the Doctor has never had with the Master. The Doctor is an attention whore, they love to be in charge and love when people listen to them. There's always a power imbalance between them and their companions, and even though it's less with Donna because she only puts up with so much bullshit, it's still there. He still has the ability to do things that he probably would never be able to with the Master, simply because she's a human, and i do honestly think he likes having that power. It's always been a thing with the Doctor that he's very much tempted by power and loves being the smartest person in the room. The Master was, by a lot of accounts, smarter than the Doctor in a lot of ways. They did better in school and Three even calls the Master a genius.
Donna's very smart in a lot of ways, and in ways that really complement the Doctor's strengths, but she was never Ten's intellectual equal like that, not without the meta-crisis. The thing that made her and Ten work so well together was always her emotional intelligence and people skills and her being so down to earth.
Which, clearly, are skills the Doctor has never seen as particularly important for they themself to possess.
Idk exactly where I'm going with this other than Ten glomped onto Donna because he'd just lost his best friend in the universe and she was the absolute perfect person to fill that gap and she probably reminds him a lot of the Master and now they're inseparable, just like the Doctor and the Master are
midnight is one of the most important tendonna episodes of all time because it shows us just how much he trusts her and cares for her. he took her to a big fancy resort and planned on doing a ton with her there and when he came back traumatized and upset she was the only person he would let touch him. i firmly believe that had it been any other companion he would have pushed them away and pretended to be fine, but the doctor never felt the need to lie to donna about being ok, not after the library episode at least. she understood him in ways no one else could.
he literally lets her embrace him and hugs her back so tightly sheâs shocked by it.
sky high but itâs about being gay
A truely uniquely female experience is watching squid game and seeing two men cornering a woman and starting to panic before relaxing because
Thank god they are just threatening her with a knife
bro i fucking hate living next to a fucking tavern they always have the worst fucking singers performing on saturdays
my life is a joke i live 2 minutes from a castle in one direction and the old town market in the other. you can see remnants of the old walls in part of the town, our library used to be the medieval townhall. we have a 500 y/o fairy tree overlooking the entire valley. and i dont even have any elves to fuck

My favorite thing about this scene personally is that the Doctor was fully able to speak, but instead of directly telling Donna what he needs, he decides to make fun of her answers and I think that is peak sibling dynamic

maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them
starting to think these maidens are stumbling in soaked through from the rain just to steal my beautiful gowns and homewear are any of you actually lost
At the checkout in Home Goods loading the belt with nothing but candelabras in all shapes & sizes while the cashier watches sympathetically and asks if itâs the maidens again
It's like standing on a stage with two opera singers when you're used to just singing along to the radio in your car.
I think the 60th was cool. But imagine with me for a moment-instead of just fourteenth doctor being the fourteenth doctor it was instead ten again-ten who didnât want to go, ten who held on-cutting in line because finally, finally, the Doctor is letting go and he canât fathom it. And then after thirteen has her gorgeous moment, the camera slams back in and thereâs ten, halfway to crying, still insisting he doesnât want to go-
-and he ties up his loose threads with Donna(Donna probably dies but thatâs just because itâs narratively more satisfying Iâm sorry I donât want her to die) and then heâs with the Toymaker-Toymaker gets more episodes-and then past Doctors come in and convince him to finally, finally let go-completing his story arc and making it a little better but not completely changing everything with bigeneration.
on that thread, maybe bigeneration is actually just the fact that fifteen was supposed to be next and by ten cutting back in, thatâs what screwed with the Doctor timeline, or something. And maybe they hug or whatever and ten dissolves back into his original timeline and yay crisis solved bittersweet but narratively okay I think and then we get David Tennant back but we donât have to deal with two Doctors canonically rocking around.
I donât know. Just rambling into the void. Anyway.
Take out donna dying and give me the fanservice ending where he lives in her backyard in the end and you got yourself a deal

just watched megan is missing and idk why people find it disturbing, the last 22 minutes were just sad
Itâs not disturbing because of the violence and gore. weâve seen womenâs bodies being violated for shock value, plot, fun or just because they can all of our lives. its not new.
We watched game of thrones, we watched kill bill and all the other movies that told us a woman being SAâd makes her stronger and a badass. We watched women being fridged and were told how sad it was and how it gave the male character a reason to keep fighting.
This was the first movie I ever watched where they didnât even try to hide behind that excuse.
It was the first movie where a man showed me exactly what he wanted to do with young womenâs bodies and how scared he wanted us to be during that experience.
It left me crying and nauseous.
Everyone who watched megan is missing and said it was scary are a bunch of pussies. The only somewhat 'scary' scene in that entire movie was (SPOILER) when Josh opened the barrel and megan was inside....âĄ
If a woman is scared by a 3 minute graphic SA scene and you donât understand why, there is nothing I can do for you at this point, u missed the part of your childhood where you learned empathy
how many times did jack go âand now the doctor is going to show up and save the earth like they always doâ but they dont, they dont show up, no blue box, no screwdriver, nothing, and it gets worse, abbadon, no doctor, 456, no doctor, the miracle, no doctor, do they care? do they really love earth, humans, like they say they do? maybe theyâre only capable of loving one at the time, show them the beauty of the universe, let them burn bright before they burn out, but do they really love humans like you do? did they spend the last 200 years protecting the human race? not really, not like you did. you spent every waking hour praying to them to show up, because they solve everything with grace and wit, and everytime you try to solve anything you end up covered in blood, you succeed but itâs always at a cost, and theyâre nowhere to be seen. do they care? maybe not, but you do, and youâre going to do anything to save the planet you now call home. and itâs ironic, right? they put you in this position, do they know? youâre immortal and stuck there, forever. youâre a fixed point in time because you have to be there, itâs your job, itâs your duty, immortality is not a mistake, it cant be, it has to have a higher purpose, right? right. so you wake up every day, shakes off those feelings of âtheyâre gonna come, one day or anotherâ and get to work, because no, jack, theyâre not gonna show up, you have to save the earth, you have to remember everything they taught you, roll up your sleeves and do it. do it messily, but do it. save the earth, cause theyâre not gonna show up. you learned your lesson, youâre alone in this.
btw you guys enjoying this post means so much to me bc i love writing but i thought no one would care or read more than two sentences, so,, ty ily
I kinda really like this uncanny valley eldrich horror pov of the doctor
âTakes one human at the time, loves them untill they burn up and then moves onâ
Like thatâs briljant
