I sometimes think its weird that everyone must have a 'favourite doctor'. I get the appeal, but how its so wide spread baffles me.

Theyre all one person, in the end, with each regeneration being all that came before and more, and a little different due to the experiences they had and the people theyve met, just how I am different from when I was 15 years old, but still the same.

I have a favourite doctor for conveniency reasons, mostly, 12- but even then, whats a 'favourite doctor'. My favourite performance? My favourite to have a fun time with? My favourite to make me aspire to be better? My favourite to laugh, my favourite to cry for? Theyre all different. I love 12 as much as I love 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. Maybe I have incarnations I dont feel as strongly for, but thats usually out of unfamiliarity with all they went through and by such an inability to truly grasp who the doctor was when they wore that face (e.g. my only experience with 8 being the tv movie) or because they amplify parts of the doctor Im less fond of (e.g. six being a little mean).

But in the end, theyre all of it anyway? All of the Doctor is mean, whether its the first doctor or the sixth or the tenth, all doctors are kind, whether its the second or fourth or 12th or 14th, all of the doctor has experienced grief, all of them is strong willed, brave, afraid.

I like the idea of having a 'favourite'. To me its a little like your favourite actors role, I love david tennants hamlet more than I like his alec hardy, but I still love his acting, period.

But this obsession of needing a favourite doctor, of needing to love one part of this beautiful, incredible character more than others, often it feels unfair to who they are. This grand person being reduced to a few years of their endlessly long life. To a single face.

Maybe that's what feels so real about thoschei. Companions tend to get attached to a face. To this one part. To the master the current doctor's body is secondary.

"Doesn't matter which face he was wearing, they're all the Doctor to me."

And they are, in fact, all the Doctor.

#i really hated that part of david tennants return #i liked having him back #playing an incarnation I personally find much more comforting and appealing to me personally #a doctor grown #a doctor aged #but even the subtitles got it wrong #“the tenth doctor:”#no???#hes played by the same actor #but how many more years has he lived? how many more people has he met? how many more adventures has he had?#14 is FOURTEEN. Not a “second ten”#he has lived the lives of 11 and 12 and 13 #he has met missy and the spymaster #he has spent eternity in the confession dial and saw the universe fall apart in his name #this is the 10th doctor in the same way every other incarnation is the 10th doctor #the same person- the same underlying personality traits deep within #theyre all the doctor #but this is not “10 but with the memories of 11-13”#this is another doctor with another jumbled mess of the person he always has been and always will be #and it makes me so angry that people see the same face and think “thats the exact same”- when incarnations closer to each other #in personality or chronologically- i dont care- but wear a different face #a different body- are supposedly so much more different than someone with very different feelings- someone who has aged millions of years #since then #just because they look the same and yes this was unnecessarily long but it makes me so.angry that fans and distributers alike cant get it #FUCKING RIGHT #Doctor who #dr who #the doctor #whovian terrytory

a puck to eichel’s face and matty scores AMEN
