I know & remember very little about RTD as a person but I do remember he left DW to care for his dying partner and that his partner has since died. And the way that this is so evident in his approach to 14 and 15, it’s phenomenal.
2005 Davies was interested in high drama, big stakes, the roughest heartbreak that could exist. And now he’s lived it, and it feels like his approach to the show has shifted as he has shifted!
14 getting to rest, Wilf alive off-screen, Donna’s memories returned - 15 leaving his trauma and his heartbreak and his pain with 14 in order to begin again fresh and new and ALIVE…it is all so meaningful to me!!!

⸝⸝ ˙˳ ⑅ first piece of marginalia ( of many , hopefully :3 ) about eremite!al haitham && akademiya student!reader ♥︎ f!reader + not proofread + subtly implied trauma on both reader n haitham's end
you first meet the eremite who's to serve as your bodyguard throughout your research expedition on the day of your departure, at your designated meeting spot under the pavilion in pardis dhyai. its stone pillars cascade with vines of sumeru roses that shine a sweet lavender hue under the morning sun— one of which you've plucked and tucked into your hair earlier, leaning over the railing to gaze at your reflection in the pond and smile at the beauty of it.
(and a petal which has unknowingly slipped off and fallen to rest ever so delicately within the dip of your clavicle.)
“al haitham, yes? um, hello!” you greet the eremite as he walks into the pavilion with a quiet waver to your voice, bow respectfully, try to still the timid pitter-patters of your heart that only seem to worsen the longer you're in his presence.
because this man standing before you is large— tall, broad, as stunning as the pale blue moon. his upper body is strapped with tough sinew and yet his waist remains lean, torso mostly bare save for the pashmina shawl draped about his neck and the worn leather holster slung across his chest.
and he's silent. offering you only a small bow in return before giving you a quick once over, gait unhurried as he takes one, two long strides to stand by your side. it's an arduous task to bring yourself to look up at his face, but you do— lips parting in awe when you realise he's unlike any other desert eremite you've met before.
the trimmed red silk tied around his head shelters only one of his eyes.
how interesting, you think to yourself, for what you know of desert eremites is that they are convinced all things betray, even their own sight.
you bite your tongue to stop the questions that bubble and ebb at the forefront of your throat from tumbling past your lips, the innate scholarly need to learn and dissect and digest and know. a surprised little squeak escapes you instead when he turns his head and catches you staring, meeting your curious eyes with technicoloured cyan.
“is something the matter?”
“no, not at all! i'm sorry, i didn't mean to stare,” you flush hot under the intensity of his gaze, play with the flouncy sleeve of your blouse while you giggle nervously. you're unsure whether it's his size, or his beauty, or his quiet dominance that makes you feel much more shy than you'd like to feel, far too giddy— as if you're a little girl back in grade school.
“alright. shall we get going then? we're losing daylight with each second that passes.” al haitham holds a hand out in front of you, waiting expectantly.
you tilt your head in confusion and pout. what's he asking for? a tip? your hand?
“your bags?” he heaves a sigh, rests his other hand on his hip. you feel a hint of irritation in his words, and your heart wilts a little, “did you want me to carry them?”
“oh!” you exclaim in realisation before hoisting your travel bags further up your shoulders, force a reassuring smile on your lips. “it's okay, i couldn't possibly ask that of you. i can handle it myself, really!”
that couldn't be further from the truth, and al haitham sees right through it, with your shoulders hunched forward from the leaden weight of your bags slung atop them, the wince in your step as you walk towards the pathway, how you nearly topple over when you lose the slightest bit of balance.
“hey,” he pinches his brow, a certain roughness in his voice when he calls out to you that withers into something more gentle, tender after you turn to look at him. sweet and innocent and dewy-eyed. like a flower too frail, one whose stem may snap clean off if looked at the wrong way. “let me take them.”
al haitham doesn't allow you to protest, swiftly lifting your bags from your shoulders and holding onto them with ease, their weight nothing compared to what he's had to endure throughout the entirety of his life.
“it's my job to take care of you these next few weeks, and i intend to do it well.” he walks ahead of you, the longer mint strands of his hair swaying with the wind, the air around him lifting into something lighter— even if it's only by the most minute amount. “besides, you'll tip me generously if i do, won't you?"
his voice lilts mischievously, and you can only bring yourself to watch on in awe. nerves melting into excitement, cheeks warming not from timidness, but anticipation of what lies ahead in the next month— for your research, yes, but also for something closer to your heart.
a companion, a friend.
you smile a smile that reaches far past your eyes, bounding up to him with those clumsy fawn legs as you try to match his pace. two of your steps for one of his own. “of course i will, thank you so, so much! and i'll do my best to keep from making trouble for you— it'll make your job easier too, i hope!”
al haitham hesitates for a brief moment when you thank him so earnestly, so wholeheartedly, so unlike any of the other scholars he'd been commissioned to act as a guard for. with your smile so cloyingly sweet and your kindness so childishly naive, he can't help but feel a bit grim.
how much violence did it take for you to become this gentle?
the faintest of smiles— honeysuckle soft— curls up on his lips and he gives your head a single pat, sweeps the spare rose petal off of your clavicle, quietly wonders what he's gotten himself into by accepting this commission.
“silly girl. come, let's get going.”

discussion #3 (a boss and a babe): guncher's first kiss: a moment of fragility (like dancing on eggshells)
i'm watching a boss and a babe again from the first episode, and i'm closely looking at their first kiss in ep 2. the more i watch it, the more i realise they're like dancing on eggshells. but oddly, no one suffers an injury. in fact, i believe, this moment is the start of their romantic relationship.
so, the last part of ep 2 is them eating cher's signature noodles in cher's dorm (quoted from cher: when it's cold, nothing beats a bowl of hot noodles). they're having fun and gun is smiling a lot (he does this often when cher's around).
then, the scene shifts from the dining table to them standing on the balcony, looking at the rain together.
Tumblr media
this frame particularly shows the distance between them slowly disappearing. at this point, we know gun doesn't like skinship with strangers— but cher isn't a stranger. not just an intern too. in ep 2 part 2, the moment cher confronted gun after the boss discovered thyme's plan on launching the game they worked on together, gun didn't see cher as an intern anymore. more like a friend he never had.
then, the scene progresses to gun asking if cher knows about thyme. and gun goes completely honest (something he doesn't do to anyone else, i believe. aside from porsche, that is).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i'm taking this opportunity to express how i like gun's character being written. he has everything. he's a CEO at a young age, drives an expensive european sports car, rich rich— he can basically get everything he wants. but gun isn't that. he's just a guy who likes games and wants to build an empire with his best friend. yet, something happened and he lost that precious thing in his life— a friend. someone he can rely on— because generally, we know gun's mother doesn't quite get him.
how lonely gun must have felt all these years? he's successful, but he isn't happy. and it's crazier to think how gun lets his thoughts free with cher, a person he just met. the amount of trust he harbours in cher is quite heartbreaking, in my opinion.
in ep 1 & 2 respectively, you can see how gun constantly tries to pull himself back whenever he starts opening to cher. he even asks himself, "why am i always giving in to you, cher?" he doesn't want to commit. he doesn't want to open up and offer his heart to anyone anymore. he's afraid that people he loves will leave him again (point proven in ep 11 when gun said to porsche: i can't keep anyone in my life. they keep leaving.)
i believe, the answer is already said by cher himself; "i don't know what kind of environment you've been surrounded by." it is gun's environment. no one seems to understand him. not even his mother.
after gun says this, cher reiterates;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it's so sweet of cher to always comfort gun with words. gun might've never heard anyone say things like these to him. (the fact his workers can openly talk behind his back when he's basically their boss strengthens the fact gun is a bit too selfless and kind).
cher knows when gun is sad and when he needs company. this part sweetly shows both of them are selfless (idiots) and they're willing to go to an EXTREME extent for each other. their selflessness somehow backfires (in ep 9; their first fight, and ep 11; their temporary separation) but i won't get into details in this post.
gun has a small (yet sad) smile on his face after cher said that.
Tumblr media
followed by this expression;
Tumblr media
in gun's head, he knows he doesn't deserve this. he's self-destructing, but it's always quiet. it's always alone. even though cher is in front of him, the facade doesn't crack. the walls don't break. gun is just afraid to show that vulnerable side of him, although cher is always open to accepting gun as he is. he doesn't know if cher can ever accept him as he is— as his truest self.
then, the mood shifts into something lighter— almost flirtatious. yet, they're still standing on this thin line. they're still from two different worlds. but they're getting closer. they're slowly coming together.
Tumblr media
as of ep 2, we know these two CAN'T stand losing. and they constantly challenge each other (gun challenging cher to call him every night until he's bored of it; cher challenging gun to kiss him). it's fun to see this flirty push-and-pull, knowing too well both of them are losers in the end.
basic cher, he then says this,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i personally think cher is just being his fun/teasing self in this. he has no intention of really getting a kiss from gun.
interestingly, gun joins the fun;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
gun sees this as a challenge too. for gun, it's fun getting on cher's nerves. but do keep in mind that gun might've developed a certain feeling for cher prior to this moment. it isn't love (not yet, but it'll change after this).
the tension builds up the moment gun inches closer, subtly reeling cher in. and cher doesn't back away— that's not who cher is.
Tumblr media
that smug smile, the are you seriously challenging me now, boss? expression excites not only cher, but gun too.
and they kiss.
Tumblr media
notice how gun doesn't really kiss cher full on the lips? he kisses the corner of cher's mouth. this is a challenge. he's teasing cher. gun believes he will win this.
but little does gun know...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
funnily, in ep 3, we can see how out of control cher has become as he succumbs to gun's orders (i guess it happens almost naturally.) words really bite cher back but we won't cover that in this post hahaha
gun is stunned. we can see the change of expression; the way his eyes darken, the way he's so focused on everything cher is saying/doing.
Tumblr media
i believe, this is the moment— this is when gun knows cher is something else, and he likes this something else.
and cher pulls gun again for a kiss.
Tumblr media
there are many gifsets of their first kiss. from there, you can see how tender this moment is— how careful they are in crossing the line.
i think the scene is executed beautifully. these two souls are meeting in the middle, shedding all barriers they have in this moment of matrimony. this first kiss transcends every affirmation, every budding feeling in their hearts (mainly gun) as they settle into this juncture of understanding.
the way cher keeps pulling gun in. the way gun wraps his hands around cher's waist and shoulders, wanting him closer, is so tenderly expressed. this is a fragile space they're entering, but they're still so careful. feelings heighten, yet, still on a surface level.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
don't they look like they're dancing?
and there's no distance between them. not anymore. their worlds have finally collided.

forever hung on the concept of kaeya starting to heal from a bad relationship. i have the image of him walking in the kitchen to search for his partner and they’re here making him/ordering him breakfast and kaeya doesn’t even have 0.3 seconds to process that. he just starts sobbing like a baby because he missed that gentleness and care :’) big fucking ouch. SOFT, but ouch. doesn’t even have time to get in the bathroom for some privacy he just explodes

“bwah!” a nudge.
“myah!” a shove.
and then—
“waaa!” a… slap (?) on the cheek.
“huh?” satoru winced, touching where the baby’s palm just connected with his face, blinking rapidly. so he wasn’t imagining things. this really was happening in front of his eyes.
and it was the baby—his baby.
your giggles filled the air in response.
“hey, you,” satoru took on a very stern look and an exaggerated frown, glaring at his own son. the baby merely babbled at him innocently, blinking his wide crystal blue eyes that mirrored his. “bad, bad minion. this is a very serious issue. you shouldn’t do that, you hear?”
the serious issue being each time he tried to lean closer to steal a kiss from you, your son always found a way to repel him away with his tiny hands.
you snorted at his righteous tone. “he’s just protecting me. even your kid knows you’re a danger.”
a gasp left your husband’s shiny lips, mockingly in disbelief. “me? a danger? i make your life a heaven on earth!”
“heav—pfft—”
“i give you love, food, my body—” he emphasized, pointing at himself for a dramatic effect, and you threw your head back, dissolving into a fit of laughter even more, “—heck, i even give you this naughty baby!”
“wha—no! that’s team effort!”
“still! and now he is staging an uprising against me?” satoru cheekily eyed his child, who was now clutching the fabric of your blouse, tiny fingers playing with the shiny diamonds of your necklace—a gift from satoru too, actually.
“look at him go,” he grumbled, his eyes following each little movement his son made, then dramatically yelped when the boy pawed at your breasts. “hey! no touching! those are mine!”
“please.” you almost choked on your laugh. your silly husband always had a way to make things sound funnier than they actually were, and that was what made you fall in love with him more each day, really. “the milk is his!”
“he can have the cow’s! and more importantly, it’s thanks to me that you’re so milky—”
“satoru! you’re so uncouth i can’t—!”
“see? you’re laughing so much! this proves enough that i make you happy every day!”
later that night, after you put your baby to sleep in his crib, satoru gently poked his cheek, his expression tender despite his pursed lips. “he is out like a light…”
satoru might whine a lot, but ultimately, you couldn’t miss the look of adoration and fondness that made him the father of your child. even without saying it out loud, you knew that he would willingly put everything aside and sacrifice anything—first of all, himself—if it was meant for his dearest, most precious treasure.
knowing he'd do the same for you only served to melt your heart even more. and you felt full—so full, in fact, with warmth and love and anything that was soft.
you really do love him, don’t you?
“look at him, he’s like a shrimp,” your husband pointed out, still gazing at his baby in wonder as he kept poking and prodding at the chonky rolls of his little arms, and you thought, nothing could have been more precious than this.
“satoru.”
“yeah?” he turned instantly at the sound of his name, but before he could react further—
you stood on your tiptoes and planted a swift smooch on his cheek, putting the overflowing love you held for him in it. “mwah!”
“…?!”
for the next three seconds, satoru malfunctioned. the brush of your sweet lips on his cheek was so innocent that he was rendered speechless. heat steadily gathered on his face, turning him pink despite himself.
“you…” he groaned, collecting himself, a dopey smile was quickly plastered on his face to cover up his setback as you burst into hearty laughter. “now you’ve started it…” and then he latched on you with a glint of a joker, launching a full-blown tickle attack.
“a—ah! why?! satoru! ahahahaha!”
. . .
safe to say, your wheezes effectively awoke your son from his slumber, and as a bit of payback, you left satoru in the dust to deal with the crying baby, both of them whimpering in unison since he had absolutely no clue how to comfort the little one.
