don’t ask who my favorite doctor is

(it’s twelve) mostly doctor who sideblog but other british tv occasionally too

[thegunfighters]

was explaining missing episode reconstructions to someone the other day and i basically said "there's some episodes that are missing because the bbc threw out the tapes so only the audio and some still photos exist and if you want to watch that episode you have to watch a reconstruction which is basically a glorified powerpoint presentation with the original audio underneath basically trying to replicate what the episode probably looked like" and they said "wow that's really cool that people reconstructed them like that so you can still experience the story even without the original video" and you know what? they were completely right, that is so fucking cool. i think we take reconstructions for granted in this fandom and they are actually so awesome and it's such an interesting part of our community. like obviously it would be nice if we still had all the original episodes and didn't need reconstructions but still, it's a really unique and cool thing we have as doctor who fans

reading christopher eccleston interviews where he talks about wanting to be androgynous but always getting macho parts makes me understand why i keep getting butch dyke vibes off of the ninth doctor. don’t worry ms doctor i saw your leather jacket

The Eleventh Doctor didn’t travel through time to fix Vincent Van Gogh. He traveled to see him. Amy held his pain with gentle hands. The Doctor hid his sadness behind a bow tie. Vincent looked at the stars like they were finally looking back. Some people are too bright for their time. Some kindness arrives too late to change history, but never too late to matter.

“You were loved.”

And for a moment, that was enough.

i decided to rewatch the 60th anniversary (because i hate myself apparently) and

this is literally just sexism. ignoring the fact that one of thirteen’s character traits is literally her obsessive need to know Everything and be in control, the doctor is canonically genderfluid and nonbinary. they don’t ABIDE by gender binaries

and even without all of that, the idea that women are biologically wiser and nurturing with the ability to Let Things Go that men don’t possess is literally just sexism! something the chris chibnall era did their best to shy away from, continually showing us that just because the doctor is female-presenting doesn’t mean she’s 1) a woman and 2) wise and nurturing

anyway the thesis of this post is fuck rtd always and forever

Andy Weir's subgenre of science fiction being "what if everything works out despite the odds and caring for others is the thing that saves the world?" makes so much sense when you find out he's a diehard Doctor Who fan

On this day twenty years ago, Rose Tyler tried to find out more about the mysterious man known as the Doctor by googling "doctor". Iconic shit.

Jodie is 1,67 m and Ncuti is 1,78 m, is this height difference enough to make Jodie’s shirt look like a cropped top on Ncuti? I’m asking for a friend.

Genuinely cannot believe the doctor had the nerve to say “Do you know like we were saying, about the earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid, the first time they tell you that the world is turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it... the turn of the earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour. The entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour. And I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world. And, if we let go... That's who I am. Now forget me.”

And then expected me and Rose Tyler to forget/not fall in love with him. Bitch

"the doctor was completely colourblind for his first two incarnations" is hilarious for many reasons but at least partly because it implies the third doctor just woke up one day suddenly able to see in colour and immediately decided to start dressing like a gay parrot
