Stilling sobbing over the fact that Piper could’ve asked for ANYTHING in S7 after helping Fitzsimmons, and the one thing she asked for was Davis back 🥺🥺
You have to understand that the reason why Nine is my favorite doctor is not because he is grizzled or edgy or a bad boy- it is because he is, fundamentally, kind. He is full of hope and optimism and compassion and he tries to convince himself that he is wrong to do so because the world tries to convince him otherwise (Jabe's death, Dalek, Adam, the Time War, the Slitheen, etc.) And yet at every opportunity he is given he is in awe of the majesty of the universe and the wonder of human kindness and Rose is important because she reinforces this over and over, her ferocious humanity, her relentless empathy, her flirty teasing, her incredible warmth, the fact that she reaches out to a Dalek with kindness.
And it's not just Rose, either- there is Jack and Cathica and Jabe and Lynda with a Y and Harriet Jones and even Mickey and Jackie, they are all so incredible, so flawed and complicated and wonderful and Fantastic.
I love Nine because he is hopeful and kind and a coward, not a killer, any day. I love Nine because of the absolute sheer, healing joy we see as he gets to shout "Just this once, Rose. Just this once. Everybody lives!"
I love Nine because, at his core, he is the Doctor. He is a healer. He is angry and traumatized and carrying the weight of the universe but most of all, his heart, damaged and broken and so full of love for the universe and humanity and one girl in particular that he welcomed the time vortex into himself without a single regret. He regenerated not with tragedy or regret, but with pride and optimism.
I love Nine because "You were fantastic, Rose. And you know what? So was I."
you start doctor who thinking it'll be a fun little series about an alien having adventures through time and space and you end up watching this mf suffer for 47 episodes straight
(edit: no spoilers please! i still have the end of time pt1 and pt2 left to watch😭 wish me luck)
(edit 2: i already watched them and i'm devastated)
why do Billie and David look like 2 kids who have been dragged into a family picture against their will
it's like they're waiting to run off and RTD is like "DON'T YOU DARE! you are going to sit on my lap and take pictures with the rest of the fam" and then grabs on to them extra tight just in case
every day we get further and further away from admiring, as much as we possibly can, the incredible acting abilities of David Tennant and Billie Piper as they both pretended to be possessed by a hilarious, vengeful speciesist flap of human skin
Some of you forget that the song used at the end of The Christmas Invasion
WAS SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN FOR DOCTOR WHO.
It’s called ‘Song for Ten’ and in the episode it’s sung by Tim Phillips, but on the soundtrack it’s sung by Neil Hannon. I personally prefer the TV version as it feels more triumphant and full.
And what makes it better, is that it’s written from 9/10’s perspective! The TV version only goes over the first half of the song, the happy part, it’s about the doctor and rose!
But the second half… oh goodness. ‘So have a good life, do it for me, make me so proud, like you want me to be. Wherever you are, I’m thinking of you, oceans apart. I want you to know…’ ITS ABOUT THE DOCTOR AND ROSE BEING SEPARATED! AND THE WAY THEY CUT OFF THAT LINE LIKE ‘If it’s my last chance to say it… Rose Tyler…’ AHSBSJBEKCND
‘And I woke up today AND YOU WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE?!?’ LIKE BRO AKBDJWBJDISBKCJWKOCJWNFLOCBAKXOISBEMFOC ATOP YOU’RE KILLING ME MURRAY GOLD!
Once I saw someone say that we had to stop associating the identity of the 10th Doctor with Rose, otherwise it means we didn't understand anything about the character of Ten...
Uh... How can I say that it is this person who must very misunderstand the character of Ten whose identity literally revolves around Rose for whom he has forged himself as an individual through regeneration and his love for humanity, precisely renew thanks to Rose. So yes, the identity of the Tenth Doctor revolves around Rose. Damn, he literally said Rose was his religion ! And David Tennant literally said that Ten was imprinted on Rose...
These people try to look so smart, but all they do is prove themselves stupid.
