#the doctor is a mess

[hey-there-22]

13th Doctor newly regenerated: why are you calling me madam?

Yaz panicking thinking she just misgendered someone: I'm sorry... sir?

13th Doctor not giving it too much thinking and continuing with her regeneration drama: :)

Later that day

13th Doctor looking for a new outfit in the TARDIS, finding out about her new body and going out of the TARDIS where Yaz is waiting: I need new clothes, I'm a woman now, you coming?

Yaz assuming the Doctor is gender fluid: yeah, cool.

And they continued to be mutually confused for an entire regeneration.

Yaz doesn't know when to use each pronoun so she just uses them randomly when speaking about the Doctor. The Doctor is so confused on why she does that at the begining but she doesn't care enough about her gender to correct Yaz. They never ask eachother about it. They just chill.

#doctor who #dw #headcanon #au #13th doctor #13th doctor regeneration #regeneration is a lotery and she won #Yaz is just trying to be nice but she is so acared to miss gender the Doctor because she respects them so much #yaz #yazmin khan #yaz and the doctor #the doctor is gender fruid #the doctor is a mess #and couldn't care less about their gender #sweet #incorrect quotes #incorrect dw quotes #the woman who fell to earth

Uh-

just found out my cousin (who lives in England) is in the art department of a bunch of shows??? And she worked oN DOCTOR WHO? AND HAD LUNCH WITH DAVID TENNANT???? and she just told me so casually because she's interested in the art, not the show? I mean, excuse me? She worked on SHERLOCK???? FOR A WHOLE SEASON?? She worked on Peaky Blinders and Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones??? And probably other things because she has a shitty memory and according to her everything is a blur?? AND AT ONE POINT SHE WAS LIKE: "oh and have you ever heard of Neil Gaiman?" And I was trying not to scream, because yes, of course I've heard of Neil, he's only my favorite author, I've only read like all of his books multiple times, and if you say you worked on Good Omens or the Sandman I'm going to lose it completely. So I said "yeah I've read a couple of his books," -you know, like a liar- "what about him?" and she goes "well I worked on one of his shows and he's brilliant i just can't remember which one" and i go "w-what do you mean he's brilliant? You're.. you're talking about his writing... his writing is brilliant, right?" And she cheerfully says "oh no I don't read books, I ment he was really nice and brilliant when I talked to him" and i go "WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT" and she thinks for a moment and goes "oh! BRICKS" WHAT IN THE WORLD YES NO THAT MAKES SENSE YOU GET TO WORK AND TALK WITH NEIL FUCKING GAIMAN AND YOU TALK ABOUT BRICKS? NO THAT'S TOTALLY NORMAL I'M NOT MAD ".... it was what I was designing at the time, I needed to know what vibe the bricks should have. Anyway want to see the spinning fireplace I made for doctor who" WHAT THE FUCK.

@neil-gaiman do you remember any brick conversations by any chance

#Doctor who #Sherlock #David tennant #I'm losing it #neil gaiman #DAVID TENNANT JUST SAT DOWN NEXT TO HER AT LUCH AND SHE GOES OH YEAH HE WAS SUPER NICE. VERY TALL. ???? #anyway i- oh my god. #Let me just perish in peace #Just my cousin living my dream making art and vibing with Neil and David and her fucking bricks what the fuck #Good omens #Sorry this is a mess #I understand actors are still people I'm not saying they aren't but can you look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn't be psyched #If you could have lunch with David tennant?

i think there’s an inherent sadness and pain about dhawan coming after gomez. like gomez’s master had finally became friends with the doctor again despite everything. she died for him (twice if we count simm’s). after so long they finally stood together on the same page with mutual understanding and a hope that their next lives would be kinder and perhaps they’d be standing together.

yet dhawan went home after regenerating. came to the understanding that he was nothing to the doctor but a speck in her past. just as small and tiny as her companions and the flood of insecurities that haunted him since the day he left came back. he was never an equal and never would be and the doctor knew it (had known it all along). so he had to make himself an equal and worthy enough to stand against the doctor (never with. for how can you stand with the sun. instead you have to eclipse it take away its warmth and life)

a post-gomez dhawan is just fun.

#fun but i’m a mess over him #the universe could never have them stand together for long it would probably implode or something #also thirteen doesn’t do anything to disprove the dhawan’s unravelling which makes me sad and instead makes it worse #the only exception is o which is wild that the doctor is always instinctively drawn to the master’s disguises #i need to write my master/thoschei essay #thoschei #the master #the doctor #dw #doctor who #dhawan!master #gomez!master

The Doctor

After years of fighting crime and being a hero, Danny decided that he wanted another profession, something else to do with his life. In the end he decided to be what he always needed: A doctor.

Thanks to Frostbite's teachings and help, Danny managed to become a successful and efficient doctor quickly (although he definitely hated normal medical school), with experience in all kinds of beings (from all kinds of dimensions, he couldn't just be a human doctor, what's the point on that?)

Since his universe didn't need a doctor for heroes and Frostbite was enough for the ghosts he decided to... be a traveler doctor, or something similar, help other dimensions. With the help of the Infinite Map he always traveled where "he was needed", and thanks to Clockwork he always escaped before they could question him.

The Justice League was very confused about who was randomly showing up to heal them. Sometimes by force. But Danny didn't care about the consequences, after all, they need him. And it's kind of funny that he's referred to as "The Doctor" in their files.

#dpxdc #Doctor Danny #He is always at the right time #saving their lifes #and disappearing soon after #The League is confused about him #is he an ally or an enemy #Most of them think he is an ally #Batman is not sure #dp x dc #dc x dp #Ghosts and humans are in peace on Danny's dimension so #he needed something else to do #Flash wants to chat with him #Clockwork is having fun #messing with the heroes and Dr Fate #Frostbite is proud of his student

[likethecastle]

the doctor really is just. character of all time. at their core they’re decent and truly appreciative and loving of the universe and everyone in it, but also a morally-gray, hypocritical bitch. they’re simultaneously a genius and an absolute dumbass. they’ve had upwards of thirteen personas who could ostensibly all be different characters except they’re also all exactly the same. puns. they could fight god and win and then be sad the next day about a restaurant being out of whipped cream. they’re a fool. they’re a criminal. they’re annoying to a point of pride. they’re occasionally terrifying. they care so very much. they’re an otherworldly being beyond comprehension but also they’re just a guy. they’re every gender and sexuality at once while also being none of them. they’re in love with the spaceship they drive around for a living. they can’t actually drive said spaceship

#[slaps the doctor] this bad boy (gender-neutral) can fit so many contradictions #yes they're a fucking mess but they *do* keep trying and that's what matters <3 #doctor who #** #yeah im tangentially still caerdroia-posting why do you ask

the ninth doctor trusted rose enough to believe she would stay with him after his face changed. and twelve took some convincing but towards the end of deep breath accepted that clara would stay by his side no matter how old he looked. but thirteen was so used to losing people. her previous self had loved clara and lost her, he had looked after bill and failed to save her, he had tried to redeem missy and (to his knowledge) lost that cause too. no wonder she wouldn’t trust yaz to stay for her fourteenth face. no wonder she believed she ‘had to do this next part alone’. she had grown quietly distant with the new knowledge that she was no longer even an ordinary gallifreyan, not something of this universe, but outside of it, alien even to the aliens. isolated and inaccessible, standing on an invisible pedestal her ancestors placed her on — a pedestal that more resembled a cage. glass walls on all sides like the forced regeneration chamber. thin glass wall between her and yaz now, transparent but too solid to break through. harder than azbantium when there’s no solid footing to stand on.

of course yaz would run when she saw her new self. of course she would leave. companions would never stay now, they would never fully understand. when thirteen said that she would need to do ‘this next part’ alone, by ‘next part’ she meant ‘the rest of her (potentially eternal) life’. it’s the classic gambit: push the one you love away before they get the chance to reject you. because they always will, now. either that or they die in horrible circumstances. better to flee like you’ve always done.

this is why the bigeneration was a narrative necessity, why the giggle was the perfect vision of a positive finale. the original version of the doctor gets to settle down with people that he won’t lose. people that he won’t turn away from. people whose hearts he won’t inevitably break. he’s sitting there in the back yard and he’s not going anywhere…

…yet somewhere out there in sheffield lives a police officer named yazmin khan. she’s not all sunshine and rainbows — all cops are bastards, after all. sometimes she takes her nameless rage out on a shoplifting suspect. sometimes she hands a parking ticket to a kid that didn’t deserve it. and sometimes she does genuine good for the community, sometimes she goes to the club and dances with strangers, sometimes she sits on the sofa and watches a documentary about space exploration and laughs at the painful inaccuracies. and many miles south, the doctor spends time with his family, but he’ll never get the courage to visit her. because she’d want to run away with him again. and he could never give her that, not anymore. anything but running.

yazmin khan loved the universe in the eyes of her doctor. oh, that doctor in the garden? the stay-at-home-doctor? he’s brilliant, but he would never be enough for her. his presence would never replace the cosmic vistas and myriads of stars thirteen gave her. and she’s never coming back
