We do NOT give Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith their props for their character growth in the Parting of the Ways. Rose is absolutely amazing, an absolute ferocious beacon of hope and stubbornness and bravery in the finale, the absolute reason why the Doctor lives and the world is saved and an equal hero to Nine, but she has a moment of doubt. A moment of hesitancy.

And Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler step in and help her save the day. Both Mickey and Jackie give up on their idea of Rose and their hatred of the Doctor and help her pull open the TARDIS. Even within this one episode we see them struggle with their feelings and decide to put them aside and help do this because Rose is right- this is a better way of living your life.

Doctor Who is about ordinary people making extraordinary decisions and making themselves extraordinary and this doesn't just apply to official companions (who I love with all my might)- it applies to the people they love, too. We see it over and over again in Davies' era, with Jackie and Mickey and Sylvia and Tish and Wilfred and Francine and Harriet Jones and every one-off character as well, from Lynda-with-a-Y to Jabe to Gwyneth to Novice Hame to McDonnell to Sally to Chantho to Nancy to all the rest.

Doctor Who is at its strongest when the story is focused on the strength of the bleeding, beating heart of humanity (and character in general, in its non-humans), when the characters drive the story, when at the end of the day you understand why, for all of the world's flaws, the Doctor comes back over and over again because of people like this- not just his companions, but the Jackies and Mickeys and all the rest of the world.

honestly the way season 3 of doctor who dealt with race was ridiculous.

first of all, you're telling me this black family didn't have anything to say with the fact that their father had ran off with a younger white woman who he was spending all their 'inheritance' on? ever have martha address how this might have impacted her? maybe in how she views romantic relationships? how she is stuck in the middle? how annalise belittles her and only her mum really sticks up for her and her father doesn't?

let alone the show having the 'doctor' choose joan, the white racially prejudiced woman in the series where the black girl is in love with the white lead, and have a gag that he only goes for blondes; newflash, that translates to white. let alone give that black character any black romances in her series. the people who hit on her all season are all white; the doctor, shakespeare, riley, captain jack and tom. then to slap her character with the only other black character in the show was laughable. i don't care if their relationship was supposed to develop in torchwood, it never happened so they should have scrapped it. it was tacky af.

or have martha ever talk about the prejudice and stereotypes she would have had to deal with as a training medical student? medical racism in the nhs is very much a thing. we're still having to break racist ideas that black people don't face the pain the same way white people do in 2022.

then the shakespeare code? the doctor's stupid wide eyed innocent reaction to martha asking him if she was safe? first of all, why on earth did the doctor react that way to someone asking him if they are safe. almost every companion he has ever taken he got to know under extremely dangerous circumstances. so yeah they're gonna ask if they're safe. and when martha specifies her race, you have this 900 and something year old genius timelord just say to walk around like you own the place and point at the two black background talent in front of them to make it okay. i am well aware that slavery was not recognised as legal in london at the time but if you think those people weren't racist you're an idiot.

moreover, you have martha be surprised at the way shakespeare addresses her? "i can't believe i'm hearing this" - WHY. why tf would she be surprised given you had literally JUST had her voice her opinion about race? and have the doctor respond that it's 'political correctness gone mad?' are you serious?! ESPECIALLY considering shakespeare referred to her as a 'blackamoor' and only two years prior in history the queen had ordered for the expulsion and removal of them from london? there were many black servants working in london and the queen literally sent letters to 'masters' in london to transport them away to SELL THEM. so martha's claim was 100% valid. and even if historians debate whether or not these letters were ever sent, it confirms massive racial prejudice that was definitely not all in our heads. and we see firsthand the 'othering' of martha.

then you bring martha to 1930S NEW YORK. and racism is NEVER addressed because you threw in hugh quarshie?! because racism magically disappeared during the great depression? trying to push that the great depression made everyone realise they were in the same boat? bullshit! america was still under jim crow and racially segregated! black people were still getting lynched in america! the wall street crash only made race relations worse!!! the doctor has willingly taken martha to a dangerous era for her TWICE. something that may have been okay if we knew he took it seriously but for some reason the show makes him brush it off, making him seem like an asshole. the episode was five years off the harlem riots! new york was the epicentre of jim crow! race relations were at an all time low during the great depression. and the show conveniently ignores that.

then you get 1913. the only episodes that actually show racism for some reason. i still don't know whether or not the doctor or the tardis intentionally chose this era, i don't think he did but to never hold joan or john accountable for their actions towards martha? to practically reward joan by giving her narrative sympathy and have the doctor actively try to get her to travel with him? despite her being an explicit racist?

then martha gets stuck in the past AGAIN this time in 1969? poc who have lived in the uk for decades have repeatedly talked of how they would still encounter racism despite the race relations act of 1968. being refused service. refused goods. human decency. and you explicitly have martha work to support the doctor and make it a joke, like she's nagging him? knowing how much racism martha would have had to encounter to get the shop? note martha is having to work in a shop anyway. not to mention again their presentation as a mixed couple living together? less than 2% were married in the uk. and them just being together period still would have been a thing. not to mention the national front had been founded already and enoch powells 'rivers of blood' speech.

then the master enslaves the jones? show them being roughed up by police? this is the second time the show has had black characters forcibly subservient to white counterparts - first with martha, then with the jones family. maid outfits and all.

and you don't even address the doctor x martha pairing at all. only a couple years prior to the season being released the uk aired that racist episode of wife swap, exposing just how much people loathed the idea of interracial dating and how much racism was steeped in britain still. the closest the show ever got to addressing that was playing "sunshine" by arrested development in the first episode, a song about interracial love.

and i haven't even mentioned the implications of making the first black female companion in the show's history constantly and negatively compared the previous show's white romantic lead, and the show having the lead character uphold this sentiment and actively perpetuate this? giving the racist fans ammo and justification? with little to no repercussions due to the next season being so focused on being the grande finale that the show never has time to address it? so martha gets sandwiched in the middle and forgotten by the time of the christmas special?

the blatant disregard towards the black characters, particularly martha and general lack of any sort of historical research in series 3 is terrible.

Whoa. Tish is supposed to be the eldest Jones kid?! I always Martha was the older sister! Maybe because Freema actually is older than Gugu and Martha is the more stable one and caretaker of the family.

Let's write a dw episode and choose some companions for the 10th Doctor (step 2)

We are writing a dw episode with the 9th, the 10th and the 13th Doctor and are currently figuring out their respective companions.

The last poll determined that most people want the companion of the tenth Doctor to come from the post-Rose Tyler-Era. So, in this poll I will present you some options from that era and you will decide who you want to accompany the Doctor the most.

Once the poll is analysed you will then get to put together your companion team from the most popular options!

If I forgot someone vital, please let me know in the tags and they might just make it into the final round ;)

Check the reblogs for the 9th and 13th Doctor polls. Or alternatively look at the poll-who episode tag.

I'd be very grateful for a reblog <3

Ten/Martha + Bridgerton AU (inspo)

Dearest reader, The season has only just begun, and the ton is already abuzz over a most peculiar development. It appears Lady Martha Jones has captured the interest of the Duke of Lungbarrow. After several dances in ballrooms and discussions at dinner parties, noted by many a curious onlooker, there can be no doubt about it: the Duke is courting the young miss. The hopes of mamas everywhere may be crushed for a second time. It was a year ago, after all, that the Duke of Lungbarrow had become engaged to the Honorable Rose Tyler. Though we all remember how that match fared. Since then, the Duke has been adamant that he will never marry. Lady Martha Jones's fine features, however, have turned his head—and perhaps changed his intentions as well. This must be wonderful news for her mama, who has been particularly vocal about procuring a suitable match for her second daughter this season. But has the Duke finally come out of the sullens and committed himself to finding a wife? This author cannot say for certain. Rest assured, I will be keeping a close eye on the situation. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown

#dwedit #tenth doctor #martha jones #tenmartha #smith and jones #doctor who #s2 is truly the superior season but unfortunately s1 fit tenmartha best #ten - john smith w/e - having broken things off with rose #still being annoying abt it a year later #and he doesn't want to be bothered by ladies angling for him #francine being eager to find someone for martha after tish got married #but not really taking what martha actually wants into account #so the two of them decide to fake court each other #this is a foolproof plan that Won't lead to them falling madly in love! #maybe their first meeting is on horseback similar to k.athony #where martha doesn't know who he is and they flirt the entire time #only for her to realize afterward who he is and that he isn't actually 'interested' in her. evil #francine definitely doesn't like him at first btw because he's known for being a rake lmao #ok enough rambling about this au i'm too insane over this idea #* #*edits

martha jones was eldest daughtering her way through the entire universe

#patron saint #martha jones #doctor who #the 10th doctor #shout out to tish

[zimszim]

is martha the eldest sibling? she sort of gives off youngest-having-to-do-eldest-sibling-duties but when she talks with her siblings i'm like oh yeah that's an older sister for sure. but it can also be like a youngest mediating for the family and keeping them all from killing each other post-divorce as a child/teen and that sort of just kept happening. thoughts

#let me know fr #either way i think she likes it. just a little to be depended on like that #i mean look at All Of S3. #she takes pride in being the glue #being depended on even though it annoys her or exhausts her #doctor who #martha jones #edit: according to the notes shes the MIDDLE child with tish being older and leo being younger. insane #tish is sooooo younger sister in the lazarus experiment it's so hard to see it

[cinewhore]

made a spidersona last night and her name is Amethyst Jones aka Casper.

her suit of course is purple, she’s a little southern hick (cause i said so) and she was bitten during a paranormal investigation and for the first two weeks she was becoming spider woman she was invisible and couldn’t figure out how to fix it so she roamed about her house knocking shit over scaring the living daylights out of her roommate. Hence the name Casper.
