Today is a dark day for tatennants, Catherine Tate Fans, David Tennant Fans, Shakespeare lovers and bisexuals in general because we lost the full recording of Much ado about nothing on Youtube

[wizard-hubris]

Time for everybody to learn that it's available on archive.org, though :)

I am broken inside. I will never heal from this hurt.

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “JIF.”

NOT GIF,

JIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

Donna Noble is literally The Doctor’s soulmate. I will accept nothing less than this. Thank you.

[docdonnalove]

This is the hill I’d die on if it came to it

[katestewartt]

Catherine Tate being relatable

[docdonnalove]

We have a lot in common

[tachypodion]

catherine tate standing up for trans folks is amazing, but i've been out here singing her praises for the impact her doctor who arc had on the average depressed nerd's self esteem for over a decade now

[tachypodion]

actually i'm not done talking about this. the way she portrayed donna's self esteem issues as so ordinary and natural a part of her worldview that it seemed more like a fact than a feeling to her, and the way it rocked her entire world when it finally actually sank in that she was worth something, and the way she held onto that subconsciously even when she couldn't remember any of it, all while continuing to be a regular woman living a regular life (outside of her more fantastical hobby of traveling with the doctor).

[docdonnalove]

I would reblog this forever and ever. 🙌

[poetryforall]

[docdonnalove]

Okay whoa. I feel this on such a personal level right now it’s not even funny. If I’m not alone in this, reblog it. It’s not mine originally.

[davidtennan-t]

It’s been 18 years since Doomsday aired - so that means it’s been 18 years since the Doctor met Donna for the first time. Who would have thought all these years later, they’d be family ❤️

[docdonnalove]

I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹

[katestewartt]

Still thinking about this specific moment

[docdonnalove]

Oh yeah, me too. Every single day.

[katestewartt]

“I’m Donna. I’m a Human Being. Maybe not the stuff of legend but every bit as important as Time Lords, thank you.”

Forever obsessed with Donna just straight up having a fully domesticated time lord in her house. You know she's posting pictures of The Doctor napping, Skimbleshanks loudly purring on his hip, with captions like "the oncoming storm and the cat he said he didn't want" to the companions group chat

[docdonnalove]

Totally adorable and believable.

[ghost-bison]

[docdonnalove]

Too many emotions.

My dad sends me. Doctor Who character analysis sometimes and here's his latest:

11, more than any other Doctor, is the reason that River says, "Never let the Doctor see you get older." Rose, Martha, Amelia, Clara, Billie, Ryan, and Yaz are all young, all full of a sense of wonder for the things that the Doctor shows them. Donna is an adult. She first decided to become a companion because she was in a rut and wanted to run away from that. So 10 thought she would be like the the others. On their first trip, 9 showed Rose the end of the Earth. When she assumes that he is going to save the Earth, he corrected her. Stating that this is an unchangeable event. From the beginning, he trains her not to question his judgement on what he says cannot be changed. Donna was too old to fall for that and pushes back constantly. Okay, so you can't save everyone in Pompeii, then just save one person. It isn't an all or nothing proposition. He learned from that and tried to do better. Until he got too arrogant and tried to save someone he really should have let die. But then he became 11, the Doctor who forgets. The one who keeps running away more than any other. 200 years running away from Lake Silence. Years in a cloud over Victorian London. Years spent in a monastary.

If he can't save everyone, then fine. He won't save anyone.

Then he became 12, with a face to remind him of Donna's lesson.

[docdonnalove]

Wow. This whole thing just never ceases to amaze me.

[basmathgirl]

I feel bad for Donna that she is stuck with the sad old weasel version of the Doctor. The way she looked at Fifteen!!! Overall Fifteen is probably the most conventionally attractive, the most outright sexy and fit Doctor (ever?). Not saying the others weren’t attractive at all, but back then they portrayed the Doctor more in the nerdy/ geeky-attractive kinda way. I think considering Fifteen’s charm, charisma, humour and looks, after his run he might end up as “The Sexy Doctor”. I know Donna would agree. In general the new TARDIS-Team with Millie Gibson, Varada Sethu and of course Ncuti Gatwa is ridiculously good looking. I guess New New Who doesn’t allow “ugly”/ normal looking people any longer. 😂

Hello kind Anon

I get the feeling that you are a great deal younger than I am (and rather ageist), because I know the "sad old weasel version of the Doctor"

will be only a temporary situation. Soon, he'll be back to his cheerful, pre-bigeneration self. Look at how delighted he was to be reuninited with Donna

And Donna doesn't seem to mind at all with being 'stuck' ith him.

especially when her old best friend ocassionally looks at her like this:

Even the Not-Thing!Doctor knew how he felt about her.

I totally agree that the Fifteenth Doctor is a very attractive man/being. His good looks, kindness, intelligence and charm won us all over instantly upon his emergence.

Oh yes, he knows what he's doing to us.

But as for "the most outright sexy and fit Doctor (ever?)" well... I was around for the anouncement of Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor; and Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. Both were generally considered very fine specimens of manhood, back in the day! And truth be told, I still get a thrill out of seeing them in anything. Sexiness is a matter of personal taste, after all. Plus, while I appreciate Ncuti Gatwa visually (among other things), I feel he is rather too young for me. I'm more likely to pat his cheek and try to feed him up.

Grandmothers, eh?! What are we like.

We've only had one episode of RTD's latest Season 1 run (if we ignore the 60th anniversary specials) so as far as "I guess New New Who doesn’t allow “ugly”/ normal looking people any longer. 😂" is concerned, it's a bit hard to tell how influential the move to Disney+ has over the general casting. Especially when you try to dodge any spoilers. Not that Moffat was immune to casting based on looks rather than talent, but I am expecting to see more conventially attractive people to appear in the coming episodes.

Of course, I'm hoping that the old trend of hiring decent actors rather than model/actors will be maintained, but you never know how that extra streaming coinage will be. The casting of attractive companions like Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu was no surprise at all. *mentally beats the 'something for the dads' thinking to a pulp* In fact, it's refreshing when that doesn't happen.

Personally, I want RTD to create those DW spinoffs he jokingly referred to when the Disney+ announcement was made. Those tend to be pretty good and/or interesting.

In conclusion, while I really love the new, Fifteenth Doctor and look forward to seeing his adventures.

Donna certainly appreciated his physique and good looks, but I could never turn my back on the Fourteenth Doctor. I mean... Just look at him

He needs our special love. Especially because he loves and adores Donna. In the way she deserves to be.

[docdonnalove]

Cue the applause and cheers. Well said.
