#want laser eyes

[aq2003]

really love how throughout a lot of smith and jones martha is really skeptical and apprehensive towards ten (+ one of my favorite exchanges between them - "what, people call you 'the doctor'?" "yeah?" "well, i'm not. far as i'm concerned, you've got to earn that title."), not taking everything he says at face value, even doubting the fact he's an alien until over halfway through the episode.. And like. i really truly think the thing that wins her over isn't him kissing her or any of the other insane mixed messages he manages to send, it's this scene here, where he /earns that title/ in her eyes:

(+ david's bit in the commentary, where he says: "[the doctor] has actually sacrificed himself, and - i would say, that that final act of selflessness is what finally, eventually, welds martha to him. [...] and she now returns it. she returns that act of selflessness.")

this is what their relationship is built on. it isn't about martha being the second-best replacement to rose or a rebound or whatever. bc it isn't really about rose. it's about doctor-in-training martha meeting someone (quite literally, "the doctor") whose ideals she aspires to, and doing her best to be the same person to him as he is to everyone else. it's about ten in return admiring her intelligence and inquisitiveness and how she cares for human life, recovering his compassion, letting himself lean on her for support - and then remembering at the most inopportune moments that he's supposed to not need anyone and be on his own forever. And around in their little nightmare loop they go where they save each other over and over until one of them breaks

i've seen ppl look at martha and go "why she does she admire/why is she so in love with ten if he acts like that to her?" or something along those lines and like. it's not just the fact she's in love with him (in fact i'd argue she actively tries to push it aside post-gridlock). it's the fact that she knows he's the kind of person to put everyone else's lives/well-being over his own. she trusts him to save her when she's in trouble even though it's been like two days at most that they've known one another bc she recognizes that same "deep all-encompassing drive to help others" in him. and she also recognizes, much much earlier than him, that he needs someone to save him, especially when he's unwilling to save himself. and yeah for a bit she thinks he returns her feelings and is just playing hard-to-get, but she realizes pretty early on that this probably isn't the case, and i think that realization fully solidifies here:

(this is when she's listening to ten talk abt gallifrey). And idk it might just be me but i think this expression isn't just her empathizing with his loss. it's also guilt, for wanting something from him that he's clearly unable to give when he's wracked with so much grief. (and you see it in the next episode, where tallulah asks if they're together and martha says for certain that they're not, and that he doesn't know about her feelings for him. she keeps everything to herself bc she now knows that when he shut her flirting down at the end of 3x01 it was the genuine reaction of someone who a) isn't interested and b) is scared of getting close with someone else again)

freema described their dynamic as "she's keener than him" and i think about this all the time. martha doesn't really take what ten throws at her. what she does instead is constantly poke holes in his already-failing front of "i will show someone the wonders of the universe so i can ignore what is wrong with me". what she does is stand up and fight him when he tries to go off on his own. what she does is put aside her well-being in favor of helping someone - just like what she saw him do for the people in the hospital when they first met. tldr, that's the doctor and his doctor and rip martha you would've loved who's gonna save u now by rina sawayama

#THIS ISNT ABOUT ROSE WE CAN STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT WHITE GIRL FOR 1 SECOND. IDC #ALL SHE DOES W REGARDS TO MARTHA IS REMIND HER THAT TEN ISNT GOING TO FALL IN LOVE W HER. #ALL SHE DOES W REGARDS TO TEN IS REMIND HIM THAT EVERY TIME HE LOVES SOMEONE HES FATED TO LOSE THEM. WE CAN IGNORE HER PAST THIS. GBLESS #martha jones #tenth doctor #dr who #ten and martha #'theyre like a rebound' shooting you with my laser eyes sorry. martha says it when she still thinks he's taking her on dates #if he hadn't opened up about gallifrey she would've been totally fine w him taking her back home #and meanwhile ten is very unaware of any kind of romantic element until like the fuckinn. last possible moment lmfao #they are doctor and mentally unstable bus driver. Or perhaps grieving man (genderneutral) and their One (1) friend that has to support them #um idk what this post is. i wanted to pick apart martha's brain for a hot second. #edit: #it's not like 5 am and i'm reading these tags and they're a lot more mean than i meant to put them down as #Not changing them bc i already wrote so much it's out there in the world already sorry. just imagine i'm saying this all nicely #10 era

The Boys fans when they find out Homelander and Billy Butcher are supposed to be two sides of the same coin and therefore both of their ideologies are Not Good

#the boys #gen v #billy butcher #homelander #also butcher is so well written but i feel like people miss the point of him

Grazie mille for all your art! This ineffable duo will be the death of me I swear. How did you get into Good Omens?

In the Garden of Eden (Tumblr.com) the snake (Sof @nataswilde ) whispered to us to taste the apple (reblogged Good Omens gif sets onto our dashboard)

#this ineffable duo will also be our death we love them so much it's unreal fbdjs #grazie mille a te per l'ask!! ❤️ #and it was the same for Sof as well ahah 🤣 #she also saw Good Omens gif sets in her dashboard and decided to watch the series #vany saw the kiss™ and was like “does this happen in canon? ok let's watch this show” #she watched the first series #loved it a lot #wanted to see if the dog would shoot laser beams from his eyes (didn't happen in the end but it was still good) #then told me (Marti) to watch the series; I watched the first in record time (and absolutely adored it) #Then we watched the second and our feels where all over the place #screaming in 100+ telegram audios with Sof #we fell in this fandom from less than a month and let me tell you the hyperfixation is STRONG at the moment #reading “AZ” on our toothpaste tube and giggling thinking about Good Omens kind of strong

Normalize people not wanting to be miserable anymore as a solid motivation, and not an immoral, dishonorable, weak one.

#when it comes at the expanse of others #the problem is that it has come at the expanse of others #not the motivation itself #RECOGNISE this #but some are like: #the ambitious character:*breathes* #them*eyes shooting lasers*: THEY'RE BREATHING AMBITIOUSLY! THEY'RE JUST DOING IT TO GAIN POWER & MONEY! EVIL! #the majority of population look for jobs. go to work. work towards promotions. accept promotions. leave jobs for better opportunities. #because everybody wants to improve the quality of their life. it's natural. are we all evil? #and stop glorifying martyr complex while you're at it #jin guangyao #mu qing #shang qinghua #shi mei #meng yao #Rong jiu #mxtx #mdzs #tgcf #svsss #cql #the untamed #mo dao zu shi #scum villain's self saving system #chen qing ling #hob #heaven official's blessing #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #tgod #shi mingjing

Also what I love about archie sonic is the way they align things with game canon?? Because generally by the time a game comes out, the comics have managed to establish like 50 contradictions in their canon, but they decided to make tie-ins and fixes anyway. Like, Robotnik from Archie looks nowhere near what Eggman looks like in games. When they started making comics Sonic was a tiny, round guy with black eyes, so he's small, and had brown eyes. You'd think they would have like a time skip to explain the changes. No, Sonic carries a hyper emerald or whatever on his back to point a large beam on himself so a village that is set 3 hours forward in time doesn't along with the timeline and explode the world and somehow he's just like in a weird vortex and suddenly they all comment about wow, Sonic. You have green eyes now and buckles on your shoes n shit. They made an entire arc to explain why Eggman looks different. And it was awesome. It was so good. Amy??????? I love these fucking comics so much.

#i think they kind over did it with the leading a lost echodna tribe to promised land but whatever i guess #it was confusing and actually boring at the point okay like give me some lasers i dont want jesus #btw the thing with sonic getting green eyes COULD have gone differently see the comic was made confusing on purpose and by the time i was #reading that i was really really tired and i just accepted everything i didn't understand #they literally say on the cover this shit is going to be very confusing that's so funny

You know that time in the comics when the Doctor is so depressed, he shuts off the lights, turns on an interrogation spotlight, locks himself in the console room, and argues with a bunch of judgmental shadow-figures resembling his past incarnations?

And all the TARDIS' lights go out and her interior becomes a maze to keep his companions out of the console room, all from her psychic connection with the Doctor (“moodbleed”)?

And his companions are left wandering in circles for two days as the air goes “stale,” not knowing where he is but thinking the worst, while he hallucinates in a dark room?

...because I'm thinking again about the times this definitely happened when he was with the Ponds.

#when they find him- Rory (one good nurse™) asks neutral questions to check on his emotional state while respecting his space #Amy knows when he's locked himself alone long enough to call River (fortunately Amy talks to her daughter often) #River can calm the tardis and go directly to the Doctor. she sits with him and nods when he rants. she tells him hes loved. #eleventh doctor #11th doctor #doctor who #words by seaweed #(eleventh) doctor is neurodivergent tag #honestly same. I don't want anyone looking at me when im in that way because eyes are very uncomfortable lasers slicing my thoughts #so river doesn't look at him. she looks away and lets him look at her so he knows she's not looking at him. she also does active listening #the shadow-figures in this comic are beyond psychosis coded #emphasis: it isnt presented like some conference of past selves here (which the doctor can't just do anyway- see Power of the Doctor). #and the shadow figures dont have personalities anyway. the way theyre drawn is VERY psychosis coded (as is 11 this whole Si Spurrier run) #this is from Eleventh Doctor Year 2 Issue 3 (set between A Christmas Carol and The Impossible Astronaut) if anyone's wondering #note that he put on his comfort fez I love him #alice obiefune #poor Alice got drove up the wall from wandering in the dark for two days… I think Amy and Rory get to get used to it if they're together #eventually they work out a plan to calm the tardis enough to show them the comfy spot in the bunkbeds to wait and give him space #he joins them in their bunkbed for platonic snuggles. all in the same bunk. Rory doesnt mind. they make sure the doctor knows hes loved <3 #I think- having been percieved as psychotic growing up- Amy would be conscious about making sure the doctor knows she still adores him #I really want this fic to exist
