doctor who coming back in the year of 2023 when terfism and biological essentialism and transphobia are on the rise and making one of THE most hyped up episodes by bringing back fan favorites david tennant and catherine tate. all about being trans

showing rose being bullied and her grandma struggling to get it right but still being supportive. and shaun and donna being the greatest parents by being ready to burn the world down to protect their daughter. the doctor asking for the meep's pronouns AND IT'S NORMAL???

and all of that is brilliant to see rose as a trans character and it is important to the narrative. BUT THEN. ROSE BEING TRANS SAVES DONNA'S LIFE BY TAKING HALF OF THE METACRISIS. BECAUSE THE DOCTOR IS MALE AND FEMALE AND NEITHER AND MORE. AND THAT IS INTEGRAL TO DOCTOR WHO AS A WHOLE. and it saved donna's life

to see doctor who be so BLATANTLY trans and nonbinary at the core of the series. the multiple references to the fact that before fourteen, thirteen was a woman. so to see this? trans people stay winning. thank you doctor who for doubling down on the importance of the doctor being trans because oh my god I am so emotional about this

#YES I CRIED REALLY HARD #it was so unexpected in a good way and it got a little complicated and wonky with the word usage but OUGH. it got the right point across #doctor who #dw spoilers #dw specials #doctor who spoilers #doctor who 60th anniversary #fourteenth doctor #donna noble #rose noble #shaun temple #sylvia noble #the star beast

Okay I've calmed down enough to maybe put this into words.

Fourteen's ending was so validating to me as an aroace person, specifically because they chose platonic love. Often, QPRs are treated as a last resort, a poor consolation prize for people who can't have romantic partnerships. But Donna has a husband, and while I firmly believe the Doctor is on the ace spectrum, the Newton conversation implies that Fourteen isn't aroace. Despite the fact that he could be in a romantic relationship, the Doctor chooses a platonic partnership. And Donna gets to have both! What's more, her husband and her best friend get along, they aren't jealous or competing for her attention. It's so rare for media to treat platonic relationships as equally valuable and desirable as romantic/sexual ones, and it gave me so much hope for my future.

#yes there are different ways to interpret the newton conversation and my aroace ass calls people hot all the time #but i think the exchange was intended to indicate a crush #and the tenth doctor definitely experienced romantic attraction #doctor who #dw #doctor who spoilers #dw spoilers #doctor donna #fourteenth doctor #the doctor #donna noble #the giggle #whoniverse #original post #esmer says stuff #asexual #aromantic #aroace #lgbtq #sorry for all the tags my blog is over organized to a fault and if i skip some of these i will perish

People that are like "oh i didn't like Donna Noble in runaway bride but once her season started i changed my mind" are bastards fools and COWARDS. she's SO fucking iconic in runaway bride. Yelling at the doctor so hard he imprints on her. being too hungover to notice cybermen. Yelling at the doctor so hard SHE imprints on HIM. Being bombarded by questions she can't answer by breaking down into sobs and then giving the Doctor a little wink bc they are IN CAHOOTS!! Jumping in front of the doctor saying "don't you hurt him" after only knowing him for a few hours. Also being like "something is deeply wrong with you" and knowing EXACTLY what his fucking problem is after knowing him for less than a day. Seeing the creation of Earth and cracking a little joke. She is Queen she is Mother she is Every Moment!!!

#donna noble #tennant doctor #doctor who #people are like “she kind of sucks and is a bit shitty and self absorbed in runaway bride” YES THAT'S PART OF THE APPEAL #I LOVE HER IN NO SMALL PART BECAUSE SHE KIND OF SUCKS!!!! GOD!!!

rewatching dw right now and thinking that the last time rose tyler saw 10 he was leaving with his best friend who was not only the most important human in the whole creation but now a timelady and his equal which means he would never be alone anymore and would travel forever with someone he loved deeply. in rose's last memory of 10th he also got his happy ending. she really has no idea. oh god.

I love how fourteen just slips into immediate panic at the very prospect of being separated from Donna - not because of the dangerous situation but because he’s just like that

no Donna = immediate panic

#DO NOT SEPERATE #fourteen is that cheetah who has an emotional support animal #Donna is that emotional support animal #so yes don’t seperate THEM #fourteen x donna #fourteenth doctor #donna noble #wild blue yonder

[austentea]

the thing about the Doctor and Donna is I only ship them platonically but they do have the vibe of "screwball comedy couple from a 1930s movie." this is why everyone in universe mistakes them for a couple.

#You're a random person in the dw universe and these weirdos are giving off Fred and Ginger or Hepburn and Grant energy so you go couple? But #No they are a couple of (chaos silly) besties! #Yes I contend that Fred and Ginger movies are partly screwballs they play truly the Most insane couples Everytime #Donna noble #Doctor who #Dw

In the Star Beast novelization it says that when the Doctor sees Donna again he just desperately wants to give her a giant hug and that it burns him that he can’t. If you even care.

#doctor who #fourteenth doctor #donna noble #the star beast #doctor who 60th anniversary #yes I KNOW most of you already know this #this keeps me up at night #imagine seeing your best friend in the universe #for the first time in 15? 1000? 4 billion? an unknowable number of years #the person you missed so much you built your entire current identity around that missing #and you can’t give them a hug #I can’t even GET to the rest I can’t even GET to the fact he has to act like he’s got no idea who she is #I can’t even GET to him having to hear her not know him #the fact that he can’t give her a hug does too much psychic damage

so those of us who've been writing for and discussing the Toymaker have found it a little tricky at times to discern the Toymaker's characteristics, given how often he changes up his accent, appearance, and temperament!! so, we developed a very silly solution 🙈💖 what's more fun that arbitrary categorisation? these are the different 'facets' of the Toymaker we've noticed - or rather, the characters he plays - and the shorthand names we use for him!! each name corresponds to a particular presentation of the Toymaker, largely tied to changes in voice, appearance and personality. there are moments where these distinct characters bleed into one another! we have:

1920s German Toymaker: the playful, teasing, pseudo-German speaking Toymaker who sells Charles Bannerjee Stooky Bill, and who menacingly juggles at the Doctor and Donna. this is the Toymaker at his personal best: fully invested in his character and thriving in a toy-themed performance. 🧸

French Cabaret Toymaker: the charming, lipsticked, French-accented dancer who accosts the Doctor on the street and sways amid the mayhem of The Giggle. this is a Toymaker who revels in chaos and destruction, and who is equal parts stunning and disquieting 🕺

Marionettist Toymaker: the frightening and severe puppeteer who grows to an impossible size, pulls marionette-Charles' strings and speaks in rhyme. this Toymaker feels the most similar to the original Celestial Toymaker played by Michael Gough! although superficially similar to other Toymakers, his hair is noticeably different and his demeanour is far more sinister 🧵

Showman Toymaker: the volatile ringmaster whose emotions shift on a dime, and who seems equally torn between performance, play, and injustice. this Toymaker is marked in contrast to Marionettist and 1920s German due to the occasional appearance of his American accent, and the apparent sincerity with which he delivers his show for Donna. 🎪

British Card Dealer Toymaker: the cool, calculating cardician whose respect for the game overshadows any desire for drama. much like with Showman, little glimpses of the Toymaker's other characters peek out here, but this Toymaker has a marked seriousness about him that's only knocked by his excitement upon gaining an advantage or winning. 👑

Band Leader Toymaker: the impossible menace with a distinctly feral energy. this Toymaker is a sadist: causing wanton pain, destruction and murder and loving every moment of it. Spice Up Your Life indeed 🌹

WWI Pilot Toymaker: the furious child who refuses to lose. this Toymaker is one who has grown frustrated with those around him who won't play his games, and these frustrations make him unable to maintain his previous playful persona: instead, we see lashings of anger coupled with violence, and the notable sadism of Band Leader 👨‍✈️

(Bonus) Flat Toymaker: the loser, and the lost little boy. i will admit, this was originally because i wanted an even set 😂💖 however, there's an intriguing moment of vulnerability from the Toymaker here, when he begs the Doctor for mercy. for a moment, we get a look into that 'vastness that will never cease' beneath all of the Toymaker's pomp and frills, and we see how truly frightened he is 🎁

#i'm very interested to know how other people mentally categorise these different character performances by the Toymaker #it's fascinating that we can never truly tell what his 'authentic' presentation is - or if he even has one as he's defined by gameplay #someone ought to design a tarot set or something similar based on the different types...👀 #also yes i'm aware i'm knocking on the devil's door by drawing lines between “”versions“” of the same character...i remember the Once-ler 😂 #if the Toymaker can canonically read selfcest fanfic for the Doctor(s) then i can comment on the Toymaker(s) #the toymaker #doctor who #the giggle #charles bannerjee #the doctor #donna noble #stooky bill #dw #neil patrick harris #starleskatalks #long post
