I'm about to watch the new ep I promise but I just had an encounter so baffling that I had to make this
Always remember that Steven Moffat used to post and comment on forums discussing Doctor Who many years before he became a writer for the series. The future showrunner of the show could at this very moment be lurking somewhere on social media posting about how The 12th Doctor is a butch lesbian.
So… guess who listened to all four hours of Zagreus last night before bed! :]
Something about sitting inside your head??? I dont know but hes not paying rent.
Ive had thoughts about this guy for a WHILE!/pos
imagine your best friend, the person you're deeply in love with, asks you to kill him because the universe is in danger and this is how you can save it. if you don't kill him, this monster that has taken control of his body (a monster that has already threatened you and hit you, all while looking like your best friend) will destroy linear time itself. this is an awful, terrible position for you to be in, most likely the most difficult choice you will ever have to make in your life — either stab someone you love, or let the universe be destroyed. and your best friend knows this is terrible for you because obviously it would be, but he especially knows how difficult this is because there was a time when the situation was reversed and you asked him to do the same thing. you were about to be used as a weapon to destroy everything that has ever existed in a process that would be excruciatingly painful for you as well as existentially horrifying, and you asked your best friend to spare you from that and save the universe and he looked at you and said "I can't" and now he has the audacity to ask you for the same thing, knowing exactly how difficult that choice is, knowing that he couldn't make that same choice himself. charley pollard is absolutely the bravest damn person in that room and she deserved to stab the doctor for real.
this plot is so fucking convoluted /aff. if one person gets this reference,, i’ll be so proud.
2011 called they want them
everyone saying rogue is like jack is just saying this because white man kisses doctor. rogue is like if river song was a boyfailure and a bit more awkward.
Only Doctor Who could take me on the emotional journey whiplash of seeing a man titled "Dr Pee" to watching an entire group of people engage in a suicide mission because they are terminally racist
The Dot was kinda real though tbh If I had to sit around listening to racist whingey white rich kids all day, I'd develop sentience and made beasties to eat them Eat the rich!! \o/
i know that some people are going to look at ruby and the doctor crying at the end of the episode and think that that was the show having them mourn over these teenagers going off to die, but i truly believe that those tears were from anger— ruby’s from the frustration of seeing your best friend be treated with such disrespect and disgust, and the doctor’s from the sheer indignation of it all, being so close to helping people, saving them, only to see that those people would rather stay in their own prejudices. and it seems there’s nothing you can do to change it. the rage and grief that comes with that

they should keep bringing richard e grant back as alternate versions of the doctor more often. every multi doctor episode should include him but as different people, this panders to me and about 10 other people specifically it would be great

they matched freak like no one else in all of history
it’s hilarious to me that the “aging the doctor 100 years on the valiant” thing serves NO purpose to the plot except making the whole situation less sexy. because if they hadn’t done that it would have been unairably sexy
fifteen wears fitz's leather jacket btw
Hey so back in 2005 when that guy said death is the doctor's constant companion.. he was NOT joking
“lots of mixed reviews and confusion about a potentially underwhelming rtd final”
fork found in kitchen
Doctor Who is a great fandom to be in on tumblr because you'll see spoilers everywhere but not a single one of them is coherent unless you've seen the episode anyway. like oh the glorbon is secretly trying to ensnare humanity in a giant crab trap? the new companion Jiminy Pubble turned out to be the latest regeneration of the Doctor's old enemy The Fuckwizard? thanks I know less than I did before
Everyday I mourn the fact that we did not get more bill and twelve content
i love it when the doctor goes all time lord victorious. like yes, girl, self-destruct! cross every line in the sand, every rule you've ever set for yourself! restitch the fabric of the universe and pull the threads of time tight—make them bunch at the corners and break! tear the world apart and stand in the ruins unflinching <3333
NEED to get weirder about the Eighth Doctor
I love doctor who.
Hello yes we have a silly guy who travels the universe with a (usually young, human) companion and gets into silly space adventures! We have been running for sixty years, figuratively because the show has been running, and literally because boy do we love getting chased down corridors. There are three different eras of the show and a movie! It is literally impossible to watch all of doctor who because a lot of the older episodes were destroyed by the BBC. There is no way to know everything about the show, to archive everything about the show you'd need a hive mind of autistic people with doctor who special interests. Still not enough? There are audio dramas! Three season 1s! Two season 2s! 15-20 versions of the main character (they are all the same guy). Horror! Comedy! Fantasy! Scifi! The worst episode you've ever seen in your life! The most transcendent experience imaginable! The good episodes are good for the same reason that the bad episodes are bad! Don't like a writer? Wait a few years! Don't like the main character? Wait a few years! Doctor who! It's been your dream show at some point in time, and will be again!

anyway. onto better things
The people trying to support Hugh by saying "Duuhhhhh it'll take a long time for Will to fall in love with Hannibal post fall, he won't forgive him for what happened and he'll resent him forever" are funny because...
When Will talks to Peter Bernadorne in Su-zakana, he tells him he envies him his hate. Hannibal had lied to him about his encephalitis, betrayed him, put him in jail, fed him Abigail's ear, destroyed his reputation, turned people away from him, and Will still can't hate him. You know how long it took Will to get over Hannibal getting his unborn child killed? A week. He's over it as soon as Mason roughs up Hannibal a bit and then they're flirting over who gets to deliver the killing blow on Mason. He forgave Hannibal for getting him jailed in the space of about two months. Will called him so he could escape and even asked Hannibal if he could be happy in prison because he couldn't bear to go through with his plan in the end. He forgave him for killing Abigail in front of him. He forgot about his wife and child almost being killed and shifted his attention to jealousy when Hannibal started speaking about Dolarhyde. Bryan Fuller even said that Will trying to get Dolarhyde to kill Hannibal wasn't about Molly and Walter, it was about Will feeling bad about what he did to Chilton and blaming it on Hannibal. And he saved him anyway.
Who is this super resentful Will, who holds onto grudges and hates Hannibal? Because he doesn't seem to be canon Will to me. Will forgives very easily and he always forgives Hannibal.
