"But I can remember, Clara. You don’t understand, I can remember it all. Every time. And you’ll still be gone. Whatever I do, you still won’t be there." | Sorrowing Old Man (at Eternity's Gate) by Vincent Van Gogh (1890)

I hope all my followers and mutuals have a blissfully happy new year. I wish for you adventure if you want it, peace and quiet if you do not, comfort, warmth, good food, and an animal of your choice to snuggle with and keep away the horrors. I hope you persevere, and love, and live to the fullest. Tomorrow is a new day.

The Mavity thing is godsent honestly because it's such a good counter argument for future drama. "This story was too silly" on the Mavity show? "This episode went so drastically against canon" an episode of the Mavity show? "That made no sense" on the show where they retconned gravity? "They race-swapped Isaac Newton but he was a real person who was white" you mean the same episode that also renamed the real life concept of gravity?

this is exactly why i was worried about rtd returning and why i dislike bi-generation plot. because despite everything rtd says about "omg the fans are gonna hate me because this is so new. this will mess w the lore hihi," it's actually not? in fact, it's extremely reductive and it's a lazy pandering move on rtd's part.

it's frustrating because it feels like rtd can't choose between (1) wanting to be extremely outspoken and creating a completely new doctor who and (2) trying to bring back most of the things the fans loved as a last ditch effort to go "hey, look! the old catchphrases! the old things! the old characters! please come back!" to old fans. i just wish he picked a lane.

because at the end of the day, it's not the bi-generation as a plot point on its own that bothers me. it's what it means behind the scenes and how it was introduced. i will always stand by my statement that anything can happen in doctor who as long as u write it well enough knowing the base plot of doctor who. but knowing public perception of doctor who in recent years along with the lack of proper explanation as to why the bi-generation is possible, that plot move certainly feels different.

and that's what worried me and will continue to worry me. it feels like rtd will continuously paint every lazy writing choice as "it's doctor who, deal with it bitch! anything can happen!" without actually putting in the time to explain the damn thing. like i'm open to the change if u didn't make it feel so evident that you are trying to pander to old audiences in the most blatant way possible.

and to elaborate on how reductive it is (and to echo a post i saw on here a couple minutes ago), the one of the other main reasons why the bi-generation plot bothers me so much is that it feels like it has ultimately shrouded and tainted what could've been a fresh new run for ncuti. he could enjoy his time as the new doctor (and first new black doctor no less!) but because rtd chose the bi-generation pipeline, it has effectively opened up the opportunity for fans to choose not to view ncuti as the new doctor when mr. fan favorite is still around somewhere. it feels like such a disrespect towards ncuti's run which sucks because i just know ncuti is going to be incredible.

and u know what? most people would've hated that plot choice too if it had been done by chibnall and to a different doctor. but because it's happening to david tennant's doctor with the old fan favorite companion by the old fan favorite writer, suddenly it gets a pass? nah
