On Casting the Doctor: Rebloggable by request

torchyvalentine asked: What would you say to Sir Ian Mckellen taking the reigns as the 12th Doctor? For that matter, who do you think would be a good actor for the character?

I think that if you’d asked me who should be the 11th Doctor 5 years ago I wouldn’t have listed Matt Smith, because I didn’t know who he was or what he was capable of, and if you’d asked me who should play Sherlock Holmes in a modern day revival around the same time I wouldn’t have said Benedict Cumberbatch, because I didn’t know who he was either.

I actually like it when The Doctor is a relatively unknown actor, or one without one huge role that made them famous. A star, like Sir Ian, brings all the other roles they’ve ever played to the table when they act. Seeing John Hurt as the (Spoiler) at the end of the Name of the Doctor, meant that this was a certain type of part with a certain amount of gravitas, and you understood that John Hurt was bringing everything with it (including being John Hurt), just as Derek Jacobi did as the Master. 

But I like to see The Doctor as The Doctor, and an actor who doesn’t bring baggage is a grand sort of thing. A star waiting to happen. So I don’t want to see Helen Mirren or Sir Ian McKellen or Chiwetel Ejiofor, or any of the famous names people are suggesting.

I want to see The Doctor. I want to be taken by surprise. I want to squint at a photo of the person online and go “but how can that be The Doctor?”. Then I want to be amazingly, delightedly, completely proven wrong, and, six episodes in, I want to wonder how I could have been so blind. Because this is the Doctor. Of course it is.

I just want you. Your messy morning hair. Your humming when you’re making breakfast. Your cuddling during thunderstorms. Your hand holding mine as we gaze at the stars. Your good days. Your bad. Your everything. I want you.

I havent seen very much of Detective Pikachu but Im ready to be the most annoying bastard in Ryme city, pulling around my partner pokémon Grimer in a wagon at all times

[sporesgalaxy]

some jerk: wow thats gross and dangerous

me: you fool. you utter buffoon. you think I feed my beloved pet industrial waste? you think I let him drink pesticides and herbicides?? You think I give him access to fucking sewage??? He eats exclusively recyclables and biodegradible trash. If we took political action to limit pesticide usage and force huge companies to stop dumping waste in unsafe areas, the Grimer and Muk population could all be much healthier and safer to be around. In this TED talk, I will

[sporesgalaxy]

YES my partner is a Grimer. YES I carry rubber gloves on my person at all times so I can pet him when he is a good boy. WE EXIST.
