it will always bother me that in the year of our Lord 1963, Susan said she made up the initials for the TARDIS, but that apparently every single other person on her planet and all over the universe for some reason call all of those ships TARDISes. they don’t have another name for it. Type 40 TARDIS. stole a TARDIS. did Susan name all of them? was Susan there at the conceptualization of the first one? why. why-

it always brings a smile to my face, remembering the first ever title drop on doctor who. it became a tradition for our titular character to introduce himself as the doctor and then have someone else understandably ask “¿doctor who?”. but no, the first time was susan mentioning that he was a doctor before anyone ever met him. then, since susan is his granddaughter and her last name is foreman, ian called him “doctor foreman”, leading this centuries-old mf who apparently doesn’t understand human naming conventions for a society he’s been presumably hiding out in for months to be the first ever character on the show to say the words out loud: doctor who

donna as the first doctor's companion: like barbara but willing to say fuck. will push back against this old man's bullshit, but will also join him on the most ridiculous shenanigans
donna with two: watch out universe the clown squad's coming at you and they're sillier than ever
donna with three: shouting matches every five minutes. if he even tries to boss her around he gets an earful and a half. the brigadier is in love
donna with four: they hate each other so much. they would die for each other.
donna with five: she bullies this pathetic man so so much, and probably ends up having a one-night stand with tegan
donna with six: they kill each other, there is no other outcome
donna with seven: spends her whole time trying to get him to stop being mysterious for like five fucking seconds
donna with eight: the most tragic and horrific bullshit you have ever seen
donna with nine: ride or die. nine needs an unhinged bossy lady who is willing to match him on his level.
donna with eleven: that is not a time lord, that is a baby, and donna will walk all over him
donna with twelve: once again, they hate each other so so much, but will not let anyone else insult the other
donna with thirteen: unstoppable force meets other unstoppable force. they fall in love

it struck me today that a massive part of what makes the Doctor the hero and not the villain of the show is that he actually is not a good guy. he's not good. he's terrible, and he could be really bad for the universe, but the thing that makes him the hero is that he knows what he is really like sometimes and he is actively trying to do the right thing at every opportunity and be better, so in this essay I will-
