#specifically tennant's doctor

actually the jessica rabbit paradigm is one I'm going to take onboard more in regards to characters: "does this character actually fuck, or do other characters just want to fuck them?"

otherwise known as the "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" dichotomy

obviously first coined by all those clever people who dubbed jessica rabbit an ace icon, and is applicable to other characters who are considered sexy by others, but which doesn't reflect their own canon attitude towards sexuality. this often including the writers and audiences of the text, who likewise project an allosexuality into a context in which it doesn't necessarily exist, based on the perceived attractiveness of the character and how other characters react to that perceived attractiveness

#jessica rabbit #who framed roger rabbit #obviously i am also still talking about #the doctor #doctor who #specifically tennant's doctor #although this goes into other iterations of the doctor too #basically: if a character is hot in a Particular way they must be allosexual

david tennant said "i don't want to go" and then refused to fucking leave. good for him

if I had a nickel for every time David Tennant has played a genderfluid, trauma-filled immortal having the worst day of their life in 2023, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but apparently it's enough to making me going insane

but is it really any wonder the 14th would break like brittle bones at the mention of the flux and the timeless child stuff.

I think most of his faces have held a sort of pride towards the timelords and Gallifrey, choosing to honour their memory and have his people be remembered fondly despite all their flaws. But I feel this face, when it was the 10th, spoke of it with the most heart. At least, more grandiosely! When he spoke about Gallifrey, it was like a legend. A promise. A promise to never rid anyone of their homes and family ever again.

And I feel the reason the 10th clung to his origins like he did is because compared to all the other doctors, he longed for a family the most. Not a companion, but a proper family. A place to belong. A fatherly shoulder to rest his head on, a sister to ask for advice, a partner for life and a mother to scold him for mischief. which he used to have. All of it.

And he was forced to let go of all of it.

Then what do you do. You die and move on, now warry of ever opening up your heart that far again because deep inside a face of you knows how much it hurts to open it all the way. And still, the doctor has Gallifrey and his identity to hold onto. His only constant. A belonging lost to time yet with an unwavering connection that remains. What do you do when you lose that too, and get your old face back?

you break!

Throughout the 3 specials, the doctor is so so scared of losing Donna again. He would be any day, but now with his old face back, it's the only constant he's got left. the only slither of family he was able to save AND the only one that still remains. If she dies, that face has truly, completely, lost and ruined everything he ever dared to open his heart to back then.

Which is why the 15th knew it was so important for the 14th to stay. They may not have a solid origin anymore, but there's still a family waiting for them. And he knows very well the 14th can't carry on and leave all of it behind with the knowledge he has now.

He has to heal so the doctor can thrive. He has to come home, so the 15th can play outside.

I think Ten(annt doctor)Donna is like. THE dynamic of all time bc half of it is about grief that can be felt in your bones for thousands of years and half of it is about at all times being sillay. What more could you want

#doctor who #tendonna #tennant doctor #donna noble #not spoilers bc i say nothing specific to the new eppysode

Every trans child deserves a parent like David Tennant and I'm so serious about that

#every opportunity he is hyping up the trans community and specifically his trans kid and that is so fucking beautiful #and georgia as well she has been a prominent and influential voice in the pro trans movement in the uk #and I'm so proud of/happy for them #and i hope their kid (formerly wilfred we dont need to know what they do by now) #feels the love day to day cos they deserve it #david tennant #Georgia tennant #trans rights #doctor who

[partiallithopseffect]

catch me crying during Ncuti’s literal first scene ever

#doctor who #dw spoilers #big ones! #the giggle #fourteenth doctor #fifteenth doctor #this was some form of catharsis ultra specific to the Doctor I think #david tennant #ncuti gatwa #NCUTI WAS SO GOOD. HE FUCKING KILLED IT #certified tara posting #dw

[doverstar]

when I explain to you that Ten is the equivalent of Enamored Smurf in the Doctor lineup

#his entire regeneration is built for passion #he was born out of love for one specific human girl and as a result he is constantly - no pun intended - at a ten emotions-wise #he is like. that one care bear whose entire purpose is love? but without the girl he regenerated for it kinda goes haywire #he's the doctor who kisses ALL of his companions think about that. he flirts with every female with a pulse. all that romantic energy. #just. zooming around everywhere with nothing to land on after Rose gets ripped away #it's hilarious and very sad. and annoying #when he's angry he's FURIOUS. when he's sad he's MISERABLE. when he's happy he's INFECTIOUS. and when he's in love? #WHEN HE'S IN LOVE DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE #the man literally wants to die when the human girl he was born out of love for is unreachable. he welcomes death. #he goes BANANAS when they are not together. slowly but surely he's Time Lord Victorious because he literally can't cope without his love #it's ridiculous. I could go on #I might write an essay about this #if provoked* #tenth doctor #opinion piece #10th doctor #10rose #tenrose #tentoo #doctor who #dw #bbc #timepetals #ten x rose #rose tyler #rose x ten #rose x doctor #david tennant #billie piper #ten

ncuti gatwa being a massive david tennant fan is good for me, personally, in a similar way to how david tennant being a massive doctor who fan is good for me, personally, because it means the nerds and the fangirls are winning in this series

#ncuti gatwa #david tennant #dw #doctor who #dt is becoming an iconic piece of this era of british television and theatre before our eyes and i wonder how he feels about it #and we kind of all watched the whole trajectory of it in a very specific way beginning with his collaboration with rtd #and his first big shakespeare roles sans romeo and juliet -- and throughout that whole thing he's been a massive massive nerd #sidenote to that: ncuti needs to get on some shakespeare stat you KNOW he'd kill it
