have you ever seen two people more married in your entire life. please

okay seriously why are people still (at all actually) hating on jodie whittaker

like i just saw a rly sweet interview clip where she's talking about how she's so excited for the 60th and she has no idea what's happening in it and half the comments are shit like "she's the reason i stopped watching the show" "wish i could just delete her era"

like ??? let her exist??? if you didn't like her seasons you don't have to talk about them but there's no need to say shit like that she doesn't deserve it

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.

Small sketch page of some of my marvel blorbos ;; Couldn't fit all of them in it nor had the time but hey I got the itch scratched kinda

Love how the Tenth Doctor is somewhat so so on physical touch/affection but when Donna's there he's basically like "if you would let me surgically attach myself to you i would"

the thing is that martha and the doctor are an interesting, complicated, eternally evolving in my head dynamic that completely change the game of the narrative, and I am so into them and I will think about them forever and ever

and on the other hand I suspect that at least a certain percent of it comes from my specific reading of the doctor-as-character, and from things that the writing brought up around martha, her position in her family, her history as a medical student, her later decision to join UNIT and Torchwood, her more-than-average complex feelings both during and after being a Companion about what that life meant for her, and what the doctor changed in her life, that I would say were intentional, but weren't brought up in a narrative that was given as much space and time (ha) as other companions, and so she is eternally left in character limbo where I can only ask questions (and read fanfic) and stipulate on what this story was all about for her, and where she went as consequence, and what her feelings are about having been within it, and of course the parts that aged more poorly related to a bunch of white people writing a black woman as a lead character who weren't so well-versed on nuance as one would wish... so it's also the most frustrating dynamic in nu!who, if not all of doctor who, for me, because there is no attempt at giving it a proper end from her side, in the way there has been for so many other companions, including of course lots and lots of classic!who companions

on the third hand you would really want that potential bringing-back to be interesting in a way that interacts with their past dynamic, and fun for freema to do, and you'd worry about the amount of racist backlash that might occur, because nobody was giving martha grace as a character in the first place, would this past complexity that seemed to go over a lot of peoples' heads be something that the show perhaps should be more explicit about, so that there is no ambiguity as to how this series of events affected her and why it's more complicated than with other companions, and how does it both honour her character's inherent strengths, while also not having to make her be so strong All The Damn Time

on the fourth hand... just wanna see her again. and she'd be fire opposite ncuti, you know she would

jo grant deserves the world actually

but imagine eight as the war doctor with martha as his companion, traveling to worlds affected by the time war, rescuing people, treating the wounded, all while on the run from the gallifreyan war council.... just two doctors versus the universe.

Ha Neul and her story is making me bawl. Girl just loved her books and was honest and competent. Her guilt of not saying goodbye haunts her every moment of happiness. And the only support she thought she has at work was the one betraying her left and right. Still she endured until she absolutely couldn't.

In all of her family has been so wholesome. They're so real too. The sibling annoys her but he also knows his sister's pain and tries in his childish ways to help. The Mom only hopes for the best in her old school trying to adapt to modern ways. The uncle is just there for everything, regardless of anything. And I'm sure her dad was great too.

Ha Neul grew up in a happy family and it's so nice to see the family being there for her through everything.

Tell you what, seeing as it's goodbye, should we break a habit?

What? What habit?

Hug?

Why not? Within reason.
