Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor, Chapter 10 - The Love of the Doctor:

"He smiled back at her, and leaned in to give her a peck on the cheek, before leaving as quickly as he was able to, a little under seven hours later."

#i think about this on a daily basis #what happened during those seven hours? #the tenth doctor was already down bad for her #river song #tenth doctor #river x ten #tenriver #doctor x river #the doctor #the day of the doctor #the love of the doctor #this is also me requesting more tenriver fics #i may or may not be also planning to pen a fourteenriver fic myself #because the ones on ao3 are rather disappointing - mostly

yes, doctors suck, but also "the medical ethics and patient interaction training doctors receive reinforces ableism" and "the hyper competitive medical school application process roots out the poor, the disabled, and those who would diversify the field" and "anti-establishment sentiment gets applications rejected and promotions requests denied, weeding out the doctors on our side" and "the gruesome nature of the job and the complete lack of mental health support for medical practitioners breeds apathy towards patients" and "insurance companies often define treatment solely on a cost-analysis basis" and "doctors take on such overwhelming student loan debt they have no choice but to pursue high paying jobs at the expense of their morals" are all also true

none of this absolves doctors of the truly horrendous things they say and do to patients, but it's important to acknowledge that rather than every doctor being coincidentally a bad person, there is something specific about this field and career path that gives rise to such high prevalence of ableist attitudes

and I WILL elaborate happily

#theres so much that contributes to this #and its such a traditional field that any change takes ten years to take effect even when its not as controversial as disability rights #ive no lost love for doctors as a whole #but the deeper causes here need to be examined to understand how this problem manifested and what can be done to fix it #disability #chronic illness #ableism #premed #medicine #salt baby talks

Ncuti rly just rocked up trouserless, played a high-stakes game of catch, told his younger self to get some fucking therapy, cloned the Tardis (HELLO?), and left to go clubbing. Iconic behaviour. No notes.

#doctor who #dw #HE'S SO UNBOTHERED IT'S SO FUNNY #I LOVE HIM #fr 14 was about to crumple to the ground over the Tardis and 15 was like ok nw i'll just make another one. i wanted a jukebox anyway #david tennant #ncuti gatwa #fifteenth doctor #doctor who spoilers #fourteenth doctor #dw spoilers

oh he is already such a great uncle, giving her the look of ‘I’m supposed to be retired but for you? Say no more, we’ll sneak away tomorrow, your wish is my command’

#I just adore this one little interaction so much #he loves his niece #also anything to do with fourteen and rose noble #will be tagged with uncle doctor #so yeah #uncle doctor #david tennant #doctor who #fourteenth doctor #rose noble #the giggle #yasmin finney

you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.

#i am saying this to myself because i havent been able to watch them yet #and i need to remember the core values of dr who before i watch it #i REFUSE to be one of those people that cant enjoy it because its changed #or because its too rubbish #as if thats stopped me loving 90% of the rest of dw #doctor who #fifteenth doctor #ncuti gatwa #space babies #dr who #dw #🌌 #squids bullshit

peter capaldi doctor sitting on a bench going "yeah i had a crush on the master. when he was a boy. and i was also a boy. yeah gender is stupid and ours are better than yours. get on our level. idiot." to his favorite lesbian and then missing his mouth and dropping food all over his lap is actually so iconic.

#i've decided i love twelve; sorry matt smith but guitar grandpa might have you beat #no one will beat nine and ten tho i'm in lesbians with them #doctor who #nuwho #twelfth doctor #12th doctor #peter capaldi #the doctor #the master doctor who #running my mouth

like i can not stress enough despite my issues with some things how much i respect russell t davies for getting the opportunity to write an anniversary special for one of The british pieces of media ever now of all times and deciding that the importance of loving and caring for trans children would be integral to it. you can save millions of people all you need to do is love your trans daughter more than anything in the world.

what if there was a plague doctor that was so so so cute (and was also secretly a bird themself)

#art #plague doctor #posie #pastel #kawaii #cute #captioned #artists on tumblr #character design #oc #original character #oops! no name yet #halloween #spooky #i made them for merch reasons but i will draw them like i draw my other characters #i worked so hard i got Brainsick from Stress and i had to stop and then also i was busy in Not art ways for once #GIRL I NEED MORE HOURS IN THE DAY #oh uhh character facts. i love skulls and flowers and plague doctors and crows/ravens so i jammed them together #they are an anthro white raven disguised as a plague doctor. bird disguised as bird. nice. you can see their tail though #they use they them. the nonbinary urge to wear a full face mask at all times #that little bird is their Familiar of sorts and it can turn into things. usually a staff or a walking cane i think #the little bird also doesnt have a name. neither of them have names #not from lack of trying i just haven't had time to look yet #edit - THEIR NAME IS POSIE #YKNOW LIKE THE NURSERY RHYME

I think there's actually something really profound in Donna's 'missing everything' gag. Like, yes, it's objectively funny that this woman has somehow missed every alien invasion in the entirety of her time on Earth.

But there's more to it than that. She's the most compassionate companion, the most down to Earth as the saying goes. She sees things that others don't. Like the missing sick records, the way others are treated, Martha's ring. Sees the inside of the Tardis before she sees the outside. And perhaps most importantly, she doesn't see The Time Lord - that big otherworldly figure. She just sees the Doctor. Sees his need for true companionship, his need for guidance, his need for someone to carry a burden he is being crushed under.

She misses the big things, yes, but in exchange she is so wholly, beautifully immersed in the small things no one else sees.

#doctor who #donna noble #I just think she's arguably the most complex character on the show #in its whole run #perhaps in most tv #I love her
