being into doctor who and joining tumblr is like ‘oh this is the David Tennant website and i’ll become a bigger DT fan’ and then you spend time here and realise ‘oh no i’m actually obsessed with the other Scottish Doctor Who super fan old man, Peter Capaldi’ and i think that’s beautiful

do you ever read so much fanfic that you forget reality? like it just struck me that canonically Kaz and Inej are not together right now, like physically, and i completely forgot like isn’t that so wild?

THE POWER OF THE DOCTOR LIVEBLOG: Part 1

What even is the plot of this episode, aside from 13 is going to die and there’s a bunch of former Doctor Who guys here?

The Master told Kate that the Brigadier was an idiot like he’s been waiting to say that since the 70s

What is Vinder doing here???

WHERE’S DAN?? He just up and left

I can’t take Sacha Dhawan seriously with these blue contacts PLEASE

those paintings were so random but i think i may have just missed what made them important

also i don’t know why i thought the forced regeneration would be different literally every possibility i considered was cooler than what actually happened. i thought it would be like a body swap and we wouldn’t know who was who or at least both of them in one body (i think i just wanted evil Jodie Whittaker)

also why is the master so wet and pathetic in 13’s clothes?

Yaz is stronger than me because i would have just died of disgust if the Dhawan doctor spoke to me that way sorry but im prejudiced against bastards

also what are the cybermen doing in UNIT? like that’s a complete other storyline with little bearing?

love Ace’s jacket and bat. Iconic behaviour

the master getting shocked by the TARDIS is so funny. like yes Sexy shock that impostor don’t let him touch you like that

Sacha Dhawan and Mandip Gill are visually pleasing to me idk. also the acting??? top tier. nose to nose, necks straining, voices raised?? the emotion in this scene is wrecking me

this fanboy cosplay ass outfit is deeply fascinating to me. like I know the Master is the Doctor’s biggest fan/enemy, but this was sooooo extra and soooooo nerdy of him. that being said my favourite part is either 10’s tie

ok my favourite part might be the recorder now that was nice

AYYYYYY old Doctorss!!

Peter Davison’s voice is so soothing to me

oh Paul McGann’s outfit is quality stuff

I’m glad 13 is asking the right questions, i too was wondering why 8 wasn’t wearing robes

the 7/8 banter is lovely

“🙄😕I am a manifestation of our consciousness😒😒, 😒😑I can wear what i like🙄😒”

I think i’m going to break it off here, it’s getting long

listened to my first Big Finish audio today, obviously i started with The Boundless Sea and AHHHHHHHHHHHH i love hearing what River gets up to when she’s by herself! and Alex Kingston’s voice is like butter it’s so pretty. i know I’m going to love these audios no matter what

The Power of the Doctor Liveblog: Part 2

the only time 13 is able to actually pick up on the social cues being when she’s an AI hologram is actually terrible (and by terrible i mean hilarious)

Kate being in the 50th, BBC Centenary and 60th specials is iconic of her, also i love seeing her in general, give us more Kate Stewart

YES YAZ FLY THAT TARDIS GIRLL

what i need to know is why the Master needs Yaz’s approval so badly like he’s practically begging her to accept him

YESSS TEGAN AND FIVE

yes yes we get it 5 is old now let’s move on

do we really have the time for these heartfelt holo-conversations in the middle of a cyberman invasion?

BRAVE HEART TEGAN!!

Sylvester McCoy is so old i love him and i’m going to miss him

OMG ITS GRAHAM

This Cyberman theme slaps so hard

“They make much better companions than you” took my breath away because I misunderstood it I thought he was saying that Yaz was the worst companion the Doctor has had and everyone else was better like dude there’s no need to be so personal

“I’m the Doctor, mate. Who the hell are you?” AHHHHHH FUGITIVE DOCTOR MY LOVE WHY ARE YOU SO BADASS AND AWESOME?

rip UNIT building, gone too soon

Oh no not the big laser again

not Yaz dropping them in Croydon 😁 Sarah Jane would have been proud of her, even if it’s still not where they’re supposed to be

13 gripping Yaz for dear life as she realises she’s regenerating is so crazy for people who have touched like max 3 times

yay the companions get together!

the empty seat beside Jo is for Sarah Jane, i was told this personally

excluding The Five Doctors or whatever, i think the companion that met the most doctors onscreen was Sarah Jane with 4 but the character in general to meet the most doctors is Kate Stewart with 5. once again, Kate Stewart supremacy

i thought the Doctor would give a bigger speech that was anticlimactic

she really could have regenerated with Yaz there, that would have been hilarious though. imagine Yaz bracing for the worst only to be greeted with the rat man king himself

i don’t know why it pisses me off so much that David Tennant is there, it’s probably like cuteness aggression or something but i’m just like get out of my doctor who, rat man, what are you doing here? it’s even funnier because i watched and loved the 60th specials but I’m still randomly shocked and surprised to see him

So about a week to the new series and i’m finally caught up. This was definitely a very big episode and literally forgot the Doctor was supposed to regenerate during it so… i guess it was alright

As an aspiring engineer, a history buff and a doctor who fan, I feel very deeply that I am qualified to say one thing specifically:

Screw* Thomas Edison and his lying, cheating ass

*I don’t swear so feel free to substitute that if you do
