"I've never been so happy in my life."

A blog centered on anything related to the Fourteenth Doctor in his retirement era ✨ Ran by @davidtennan-t and @kottekonst

[retiredspaceman]

Welcome to retiredspaceman!

This is a blog dedicated to the tartan clad, lanky alien known as the Fourteenth Doctor. Ran by @davidtennan-t and @kottekonst - besties in real life who decided it was time to put all our love for Fourteen in one place.

We very much view Fourteen's relationship with Donna as platonic, and much of the content we will share will reflect that. We will also post a lot of our own headcanon related content, which includes Fourteen's life after retirement, him settling into family life and also growing softer, physically and emotionally. (We love our soft boi.)

Otherwise, anything Fourteen related will be found here!

If you have any headcanons, ramblings, artwork, fics, basically anything you would like to share regarding Fourteen and his retirement, our ask box is always open!

If you would like somewhere to start, here is a link to our A03's which already include lots of soft Fourteen content:

Who else yelled at their TV when this moment aired? Guilty as charged…

Donna is the Doctor's common-sense filter

Donna needs a t-shirt with ‘common-sense filter’ written on the front 😂

More Fourteen and Donna softness ❤️

[retiredspaceman]

There can never be enough softness between them, nor enough depictions of our softened Time Lord 🫶 We all need some comfort in these trying times 🙏

He took me to New York last week.

We would pay for a whole season of these two to get a glimpse into the Uncle and Niece antics ✨

A mechanism on board the TARDIS called the HADS. Hostile Action Displacement System. If the TARDIS is in danger, it goes away.

We will never NOT reblog this scene - oh Fourteen, you old softie, we love you 😭

[timelordgifs]

We can do anything.

[retiredspaceman]

He’s such a dumbo 😂🥰

this little underrated moment when Fourteen remembers just how savage his best friend can be

The absolute giddiness was everything in this scene - the besties are so back 😌

[headcanonthings]

Rose Noble: Hey, Doctor, you know what sucks? Doctor: Vacuums. Rose: No, you know what sucks in a metaphorical sense? Doctor: Black holes. Rose: You know what just isn't cool? Doctor: Lava?

we were robbed of seeing more of fourteen treating that ship like a playground

Uncle and niece! 🥰

The man, the myth, the legend. There really aren't enough words to express how much this character means to us and, in turn, how important David Tennant is to us. We, the besties who run this blog, met through our shared love for DT and Dr Who, and we never thought we would see the day where he made a return as the same character... same, yet so different. This man ages like fine wine, and so has this character. We are eternally grateful for DT coming back to the Whoniverse, perfectly finishing Ten's story arc where he gets to be reunited with his best friend. A more haggard, grounded, strained yet open version of the same Doctor. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but for us, it was perfect; an open ending with all the love and comfort the world desperately needs more of.

So - thank you David, and we wish you the happiest of birthdays 🫶

And it was his birthday, which was really lovely, so we embarrassed him, and we sang him Happy Birthday.

[retiredspaceman]

Happy 55th Birthday to David Tennant - our Fourteen 🤍

[nipuni]

Oi! Careful!

[retiredspaceman]

Aw, look at them in their comfy sweaters 🥰 And that long, greying hair that we so love and picture Fourteen having, perfectly captured by Nipuni 🫶 French toast sounds like the perfect dish for a retired Time Lord to master 😌

I hope Fourteen is eating lots of Easter Eggs this weekend

I hope Donna finds him passed out on the couch with at least a dozen empty chocolate egg boxes

I hope she puts a blanket over him and lets him sleep it off while affectionately muttering something about him being their alien equivalent of a Labrador because she didn’t realise how much he could eat
