"It’s really important, I think, in any era of Doctor Who, for the Doctor to have an emotional journey, to have an arc and go on a voyage of discovery through their time on the show. I always knew this was going to be the arc for Jodie’s Doctor."

Thirteen proving she definitely is older and wiser by stopping Ten from bringing up Rose in front of Martha for the nth time.

a few days ago an irl told me about how the alphabet is on the wrong order on the doctor who wiki because in one episode a character recites the alphabet backwards but gets two letters the wrong way around and there has been no other representation of the full alphabet in any other dw media so technically there’s no proof that it isn’t canon and i’ve been thinking about that ever since
not joking (U is supposed to come before V)
actually it gets funnier. there are multiple instances of parts of the alphabet being spoken in episodes. the problem is absolutely none of these have spoken that specific section since the episode that got the order wrong.

what makes the doctor's relationship with donna so special is that it is truly completely platonic. there are no secret feeling between them, no tension, nothing of that sort-, and yet they are treated just as important as a romantic relationship would be because platonic love is important and powerful too. you can be soulmates with a friend. destiny can lead you toward a friend, toward a sibling you never had.
the metacrisis, them becoming biologically 50(ish)% related, is about becoming fraternal twins. not becoming half of each other or the same person or different people or anything. for them, it's symbolic.
this type of relationship between men and women in media is so rare and because of that i feel like it really needs to be cherished for what it is.
I've talked about this before but one of my favorite things about the Doctor and Donna's relationship is that they set boundaries and expectations up front and I honestly think that's beautiful. The Doctor is so tired when he meets Donna again and says, "I just want a mate" which she mishears, but because the expectations for their relationship are set, they're free to love each other as best friends---and they do!
This must've been so relieving for both of them because they both lost and were hurt in different ways but their friendship is sacred and most importantly, safe.
In the Big Finish drama Death and the Queen, Donna meets a prince and gets whisked away (her choice). It takes the Doctor weeks to track her down and when he finally finds her she asks him, "Why did you come find me?" He responds, "Because I care about you."
Later in that episode, the Doctor confesses to Donna that he's having a really hard time with the idea of her leaving but he's trying his best because he wants her to be happy. He says, "No man is ever going to be good enough for my Donna, but---but yes of course he is and..."
It's just this really beautiful moment where the Doctor is honest about his feelings because he knows they won't be misconstrued.
This is why I found watching the Doctor lose Donna to be more traumatic than watching him walk away from Rose the second time. With Rose, he knows there's a part of him who gets to be with her, but with Donna...absolutely gut-wrenching to see him lose his best friend---someone who saw him at his lowest, who kept him in check but checked in on him. Someone he could be honest with and laugh with, who was there for him and he was there for her.
Platonic love is vital to the human experience and it is just as valid as romantic love. The Doctor and Donna are platonic soulmates. Their relationship should be cherished like OP said. And even if nothing else good happens in the 60th, they get to hug one another again.
Thank god for that.
During these trying times, let us not forget the only dw character ever
I had a dream that David Tennant read too many of those “David Tennant is UNRECOGNIZABLE in Amazon’s Good Omens!” clickbait articles and decided to audition to be the Doctor again while wearing his Crowley wig and sunglasses because he thought maybe they’d think he wasn’t David Tennant. For some reason they rolled with it and actually cast him as the 14th Doctor, who was finally ginger.
I did that job once.

You can’t kill a Dalek with a brooch. Yes, you can. Yes, you can.

Honestly all the conversations between the Daleks and Cybermen in this episode were fucking gold
I know nothing about Doctor Who lore but I feel like the Cybermen and the Daleks are both the descendents of two exes who both designed robots.

DOCTOR WHO Voyage of the Damned
there are some scenes in Doctor Who that just end up being so iconic and I think this is one
It’s been years but I never fail to laugh at this downright dumb ass scene
doctor who is like heres one of the most complicated and tragic friends-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers stories youll ever experience about two very tormented people finding and losing each other again and again and again across time and space and wanting each other without reaching for each other and caring for each other without wanting to admit it and crying for each other without the other knowing but one of their names is ‘the master’ and one of their names is ‘the doctor’ so you cant take any of it seriously at all
love this post bc it reminded me that the master literally ages the doctor into a shitty 2000s cgi raisin and pushes him around singing scissor sisters’ “i can’t decide” and then later in the SAME ARC dies in the doctor’s arms ON PURPOSE just to spite him as he screams and sobs for him 2 stay alive so he’s not left alone in the universe
What do you mean “the same arc”, it happens in the same episode
