Okay this is some bullshit so let’s talk about it.

(DISCLAIMER: Twitter is not the space to go to for fully formed thoughts. Jay might have a much better point than this, but I think this tweet is still a good starting point for an important discussion)

15 is not more emotionally sensitive than other Doctors. What he is, is not as afraid to show that sensitivity. If you think other doctors would not be emotionally affected by the things 15 has been affected by, I don’t know what to tell you. They would be, but what they might not do is openly cry.

Now, there is a valid argument that this is a result of the short episode count—that there have been very few fun adventures where The Doctor can just do what they love to do. Every episode has to be BIG and MEANINGFUL and EMOTIONAL because to do otherwise is to risk wasting time you may need for those big moments.

What the problem is NOT, however, is The Doctor crying a lot. I don’t think it should be disregarded that people are finding very specifically a black man crying “the wrong direction to take the character”

That needs to be taken in the context of black men being particularly stuffed into the expectations of toxic masculinity. Black men are expected to be more tough, more violent, more aggressive, and less emotional, less sensitive, less open than white men.

What’s also interesting to me here is the context of how unobtrusive 15’s crying is, but even that is too much apparently?

Jay Exci appears to think The Doctor should no longer be affected by things to this extent, at least not this often—but the story with 14 was explicitly that The Doctor never let themselves FEEL their pain, not that they didn’t experience it.

The Doctor feels deeply, constantly, for everything and everyone. That’s who they are. Every incarnation of them. The moments they choose to ignore that are when The Doctor fails to uphold the promise of their name.

If you don’t think that would result in a lot of crying, pal I got news for you.

Hey, sorry to bother you, but if you feel like crying, you should let yourself. It might feel a little better afterward, letting off some steam. I wish you the best, as much as that means coming from an anon

Yeah, I might've just buried myself in my writing instead, it was surprisingly productive xD Thanks anon, I appreciate your message, you're very sweet <3

you know people take crying for granted. yes thats such a weird thing to say but a year or so ago i couldnt cry at all. like. not a tear. not over things in stories or real life, i couldnt cry at ALL. but now i can sob over the stupidest little thing like i saw something that was just too cute or i can cry over stories or because i laughed too hard or because something awful happened and i just need to sob but GOD. dont take crying for granted, its so important

Soft reminders :

Crying is okay.

Crying is not shameful,

Emotions are not shameful.

We are humans and it's okay to feel whatever emotions you're feeling right now.

It's okay if you feel numb.

And remember, you are so much more than what you're feeling right now.

LAUGH AT YOURSELF

So yes, a friend called me.

In a heavily sobbing and shivering voice, she hardly managed to talk.

She couldn't scan pages properly, and ended up submitting an urgent assignment late. Mid-aggression, she deleted all the pictures from her phone.

And that was that.

Now like a whimpering cat, in the corner of a bed, she was lying, crying, clutching her phone with a silent me on the other side.

In the night, she called again.

So unlike the sniffling shaking mess.

Now laughing like it was the best day of her life.

It wasn't. She just decided to laugh at her misery.

Remembering every bad thing that happened to her, she laughed till tears flowed.

She literally giggled it out.

Slowly (as always) I realized, student life always been about this.

Making mistakes, getting our own heart butchered by someone else; crying and after some time not crying.

And this vicious cycle inevitably ends with giggles.

As if making mistakes was funny and worth it. As if without them, life wouldn't have been the same adventure it is.

Maybe they are worth it after all.

Who knew the one who laughs at us, at some point, will be no other but we ourselves?
