Okay I don’t want to throw any stones but I’m disappointed with the transition between Jodie and David. Tennant’s Doctor has not only received one happy ending but now two, first with Rose in the other dimension and now with Donna as he heals himself. This storyline couldn’t have involved Jodie’s Doctor? Jodie couldn’t be the one that bi-generated and lived on Earth with the fam while Ncuti travelled the universe?
Wouldn’t it have been a great sense of whiplash, if the thirteenth Doctor regenerated to discover that they still have the same face, same outfit, same everything? That would have been more confusing, more off putting than regenerating into an old facade. With the help of the fam and old companions, they achieve everything the specials depicted. We could still include Donna, have her work it out, be best pals with this Doctor and teach her how to be human and tease her throughout. The banter would be there, just with a different face.
I just can’t wrap my head around Tennant returning and why his Doctor out of all of them is spoiled for choice and returns 🤷🏻♀️

days are just drops in the river
to be lost always
only you, only you

I was travelling around earlier this week and had some time to do some traditional art! So here’s some artwork for a fic I wrote a while back, about the master telepathically bothering the doctor whilst she’s stuck in prison. (also I totally didn’t make a mistake with the gallifreyan and write an ‘a’ rather than an ‘o’ twice....)

As a trans person it's easy to relate to the Doctor. He chose his own name, is a different person the next time an old friend sees him and is always an outcast for the fact that he's not like the company he keeps (an alien).
But I was thoroughly surprised when I started watching the 13th Doctor's era as a Trans Masc person and started relating to her MORE than I had previously with other Doctors. And it goes beyond the jokes about her forgetting she's a woman!
It's the fact that the Doctor is still The Doctor, but everything is harder because no one really SEES her as the Doctor (even a lot of people in the fandom don't!). There are aspects about womanhood she likes, like wearing ear jewelry and being included in events exclusively for women, but people outside of her close circle ONLY see a woman. They tie all the associated stereotypes and social rules to her that previously had never been on the table before.
Suddenly she's expected to be obedient instead of a leader.
Where previously her words held a lot of weight, no one seems to listen to her no matter what she says.
Where previously she could be intimidating when raising her voice, her raising her voice lands in the ears of the other with no weight whatsoever.
Where previously she had height to her advantage, she is now smaller than all the guys around her.
And it's that big disconnect between how she sees herself and how other people see her what frustrates her! Inside she's still just as masculine as she was before, and she's also just as feminine as she was before.
And it's so different from the Master becoming Missy, because the moment the Master became a woman she immediately wanted to explore femininity and and even changed her name to suit it. The Master/Missy is more in tune with the gender identity they're found in or at least feel they should indulge on things typically associated with said gender. Meanwhile the Doctor, who has previously been mostly a man, doesn't feel anything should change about what they call themself and how they should act or behave around others.
That specific disconnect is something I relate to so heavily and something I haven't seen other trans people talk about yet. Like, outside of the misogyny and exclusively as a trans experience

She'd never really kept track of the years. Or if there'd been years. Time ceased to have much meaning when existing consisted of the same cycle, repeated endlessly beneath perpetual twilight.
Still... Duties existed, and those gave that cycle structure. She moved through the domain which gave her safety, performing the duties so laid upon her.
All of those who shared the domain with her needed an ear. Needed to rant their fears, their worries, their concerns. Above all, they needed contact with another being that did not look upon them as mere sustenance.
Coaxing the fearful from the corners. Persuading the ravenous into exercising patience they sorely lacked. Greeting those who came in search of easy prey.
Duties kept the cycle from becoming too burdensome, too wearing. Attending the edges of her mistress's domain kept her active, focused, and alert. While she dimly recalled a different life in a world where the sky showed other colors, she did not dwell upon those thoughts.
Enough, perhaps, to have someone to serve who kept her fed and safe. Every time Ludovica performed a duty for her mistress, she ensured her own survival.
It meant everything in this world to have safety. To have a shadow in which to hide when a larger predator appeared. And for that, Ludovica never questioned her orders, her place in the world, her life.
She only hoped for better.

I know this won’t happen, and obviously it’d be reversed somehow if something similar did happen, but I’m just imagining it finally coming to the moment where the Doctor is disappearing as she’s erased from time, and the Master just walks over to her, gently grabs her face and says: “Doctor…. Goodnight.” And then he kisses her softly as they both disintegrate into nothing.
