I feel bad for Donna that she is stuck with the sad old weasel version of the Doctor. The way she looked at Fifteen!!! Overall Fifteen is probably the most conventionally attractive, the most outright sexy and fit Doctor (ever?). Not saying the others weren’t attractive at all, but back then they portrayed the Doctor more in the nerdy/ geeky-attractive kinda way. I think considering Fifteen’s charm, charisma, humour and looks, after his run he might end up as “The Sexy Doctor”. I know Donna would agree. In general the new TARDIS-Team with Millie Gibson, Varada Sethu and of course Ncuti Gatwa is ridiculously good looking. I guess New New Who doesn’t allow “ugly”/ normal looking people any longer. 😂

Hello kind Anon

I get the feeling that you are a great deal younger than I am (and rather ageist), because I know the "sad old weasel version of the Doctor"

will be only a temporary situation. Soon, he'll be back to his cheerful, pre-bigeneration self. Look at how delighted he was to be reuninited with Donna

And Donna doesn't seem to mind at all with being 'stuck' with him.

especially when her old best friend ocassionally looks at her like this:

Even the Not-Thing!Doctor knew how he felt about her.

I totally agree that the Fifteenth Doctor is a very attractive man/being. His good looks, kindness, intelligence and charm won us all over instantly upon his emergence.

Oh yes, he knows what he's doing to us.

But as for "the most outright sexy and fit Doctor (ever?)" well... I was around for the anouncement of Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor; and Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. Both were generally considered very fine specimens of manhood, back in the day! And truth be told, I still get a thrill out of seeing them in anything. Sexiness is a matter of personal taste, after all. Plus, while I appreciate Ncuti Gatwa visually (among other things), I feel he is rather too young for me. I'm more likely to pat his cheek and try to feed him up.

Grandmothers, eh?! What are we like.

We've only had one episode of RTD's latest Season 1 run (if we ignore the 60th anniversary specials) so as far as "I guess New New Who doesn’t allow “ugly”/ normal looking people any longer. 😂" is concerned, it's a bit hard to tell how influential the move to Disney+ has over the general casting. Especially when you try to dodge any spoilers. Not that Moffat was immune to casting based on looks rather than talent, but I am expecting to see more conventially attractive people to appear in the coming episodes.

Of course, I'm hoping that the old trend of hiring decent actors rather than model/actors will be maintained, but you never know how that extra streaming coinage will be. The casting of attractive companions like Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu was no surprise at all. *mentally beats the 'something for the dads' thinking to a pulp* In fact, it's refreshing when that doesn't happen.

Personally, I want RTD to create those DW spinoffs he jokingly referred to when the Disney+ announcement was made. Those tend to be pretty good and/or interesting.

In conclusion, while I really love the new, Fifteenth Doctor and look forward to seeing his adventures.

Donna certainly appreciated his physique and good looks, but I could never turn my back on the Fourteenth Doctor. I mean... Just look at him

He needs our special love. Especially because he loves and adores Donna. In the way she deserves to be.

DOES LOUIS ACTUALLY HAVE A SMILEY TATTOO ON HIS THIGH??????????? HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE !!!!!!!!!!

HE DOES!!!!!!!! HE DOES BC IT'S TACTICALLY PLACED HIGH ENOUGH WE WILL NEVER EVER SEE IT EVEN IF HE'S WEARING SHORTS BC HE'S A TEASE

anyway here's The pic we have of it, ty @theirloveisgross for finding it for me and ty forces of nature for working with us for this one <3

I adore your novel and every night when I fall asleep I think about what will happen next?! The writing, style and story itself are captivating.Honestly, I’ve already replayed it 10 times and I’m going to do it again.

Hopefully in the future I will have enough money to buy a Patreon subscription! (You were the first to give me a reason to think about this and I will give you all my money)

It's just crazy how much this story has captured my entire mind. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I'm just in the middle of writing with fire under my butt cheeks because of the string of flus and colds that struck our family. Messages like this really help. Thank you🤍

People are taking such great offence over nothing omg.

This is aroacesafeplaceforall, ya know for aroaces. It's not possible to cater to every single identity ever and even if it was it's aroacesafeplace not queersafeplace or lgbtqiasafespace, it's for aroaces first and foremost which is why all the posts are about being aroace.

I'm tired of not being able to have this conversation, not every space is going to be for you, I wouldn't go onto a kink focused blog and complain that they're aphobic because they're not inclusive to me because I'm sex repulsed. There are other blogs out there that you can follow that are focused on other identities, go find them if you don't like the content being posted here, don't harass the mods and don't send death threats!!

thank you

I'm happy you're able to move. I may be a stranger on the internet but know that I'm very I'm proud of you. /gen

Thank you, Nonny. It means a lot to hear, truly. Stranger or not, it felt good. ❤️

Hey I'm a big fan of your watercoloring, it's super pretty! I want to try watercolor but it's kind of difficult, I was wondering if you have any tips for how you get the colors so clean? Or just tips in general

Hello anon, I'm so sorry for the very late reply-thank you for the kind words! 🥹💖 Since I'm no good at explaining how I art... please allow me to point you in the direction of some helpful videos for watercoloring!

Happy painting! :]]

It's okay to just read. it's okay to maybe drop a comment or two here and there. it's okay to just kudos.

*It's okay to have enjoyed a fic and still not know what to actually leave as a comment*

it's okay to just leave a <3

it's okay to read and not leave anything

as an *author* yes I know I know we *all* want feedback we want comments we want interaction, and we can feel very bad if we don't get it.

But it IS okay to not be able to give that. Or only give it some of the time.

Our insecurities need not be your burden.

Thank you so much for this, Anon! I know this is response to my POST about stressing over commenting on long, multi-chapter fics.

I will confess that I am STILL unable to get over my stubborn mindset that I *owe* good comments on each and every story and chapter, but with so many encouraging responses to my post and a kind Ask such as this, I hope that it time I can tone down my anxieties.

All of this is a good reminder for those of us feeling overwhelmed by our commenting "obligations"! Writers have unanimously stated that comments are appreciated but never expected or required, and they would much rather you read and remain silent than not read at all. Fics are first and foremost posted for you to enjoy.

We are so grateful for your generosity, dear writers!

Your vulcan characterization is so wonderful, the light you shine on both canon and OC vulcan characters is genuinely VERY inspiring. You really encapsulate and give a believable look into daily vulcan life that’s fleshed out and, most importantly, loved. Your care for these characters is apparent in every word, and it shapes them into real people that feel both alien and familiar. In some of the fanfics I’ve read involving vulcans, it sometimes feels like the author is just writing very stern humans who are misguided in their approach to love and emotion. In your writing, however, it feels like you really respect vulcans and love their way of life- that you find beauty and interest in what’s alien to us. Which, I would argue, is a big part of what sci-fi should be. Idk, I’m trying to write vulcans myself, and the way you portray them is a huge inspiration. Thanks for all you do!

Anywho, how do you think Tuvok’s kids (as young children) would react to an arcade? The mental image of a vulcan kid submerged in a Chuck E. Cheese ballpit is personally very funny to me

I'm sorry this is so late but this ask is one of the most beautiful and touching ones I've ever received and I didn't know how to respond (overwhelmed, pleasantly) so here's a bunch of doodles of Tuvok's kids being incredibly well behaved during their family outing at the Space Arcade/Play Place

(Arcade Trip Play by Play Under the Cut)

Elieth is the only one interested in the ball pit. He isn't doing anything in there he is literally just sitting in silence and observing the different balls. He does NOT want to leave the pit!!! <- This is foreboding to his parents who know that he must, at some point, leave the pit. Varith and Asil go in the ball pit in an attempt to understand Elieth's fascination but are quickly bored. Sek watches them with his hands clasped behind his back. Whenever an adult asks if he wants to go in he says "No, thank you." He appoints himself the safety officer and will tell the other children not to play too rough and 'rescue' the smaller ones if they look like they're struggling. Asil wants to leave the ball pit and Sek manages to pull Elieth away with the promise that they will return - they will each pick an activity so it is fair! They all go into that large overhanging contraption (reminds them of caves - fun to play in!) but only three make it out again. They try to use telepathy to find their lost brother but they can't do it (too little) so they have to go find one of their parents who has to telepathically lead them to the exit. This almost gets the trip cancelled but they all promise to stay together this time!! Sek fulfills his older brother duties of being fucking sick at a video game all his younger siblings watch him play. This actually draws a crowd of more than just his siblings - a VULCAN playing video games? He goes up against a human, wagering their tickets, and he wins. However, since Sek is against gambling he does not accept the human's tickets. This only makes him cooler. Elieth wanders away to the ball pit during this time. The remaining Tuvoklings figure out that the claw machine is rigged and think this is unethical and unfair. To remedy this, they find a way to plant their sister inside the machine where she proceeds to hand out as many toys as she can before the employees catch wind and alert their parents. That is it. We're going home. Where is your brother? (In the ball pit.) While Tuvok wrestles Elieth out of the ball pit, T'Pel takes the kids to the prize counter and they put all their winnings together and ask to be able to take a ball from the ball pit home. The clerk says that isn't a prize and they ask again to be able to take a ball from the ball pit home. The clerk is tired and says Sure. Whatever. So they each carefully select one ball from the ball pit and give them to Elieth which stops his tantrum. On the ride home Elieth happily stares at the balls from the ball pit which his siblings got him and Asil takes out several toys from her backpack which she took from the claw machine. A very satisfying trip! Indeed, we should endeavor to make a visit once a week. (No.) Twice a week? (Further.) Once a month? (Perhaps.)

I'm so happy that I don't have to pick every romance options to be able to romance a character. I always have to pick the option for my MC to stim when she's nervous and Hades to notice and say, "You too?" LIKE UGH the bonding 😭❤

I like the non-flirting options a lot better sometimes, too. Maybe most of the time, but that could just be my awkwardness coming through, heh.

ah yes, time for the biweekly re-read of to people watch one person :) thank you ripley for writing such a beautiful thing, it makes my heart happy.

If people are still reading it, then I’ll work on an update and an ending soon. It did start me out - only right that I should finish it. I’m very happy your heart is happy, honey. Thank you for the support! - Rip x

People often talk about all the projects David and Catherine worked on together.

But how often did they really work together (on stage or in front of a camera)? I'm new to the whole Tatennant thing, and the only projects I'm aware of are Doctor Who and Much Ado About Nothing. 🫣

Hello kind Anon

I hope you are enjoying your time in the Tatennant fandom!

David and Catherine don't get cast together in drama projects outside Doctor Who unless they have a hand in it. Like the Comic Relief sketch, Big Night In, The Ballad of Russell & Julie, Nan's Christmas Carol, or MAAN.

But they've appeared in TV shows like Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, The Graham Norton Show, and The Jonathan Ross Show to do promotions. They also presented a few radio shows for Jonathan Ross, helping out when he was ill, on one occassion. They used to have the link to listen/download this on david-tennant.com, but they stopped doing this a while ago.

They also both took part in the comedians interview BBC Radio 4 show Chain Reaction. Comedy gold, and always makes me laugh.

More often than not, where one leads, the other follows. This has happened with things like This Is Jinsey, The Friday/Sunday Night Project, Very British Problems, the Nativity films (David was in Nativity 2, and Catherine in Nativity 3) and Duck Tales. They presented the 400 years of Shakespeare programme Shakespeare Live! together in 2016; and last year they presented a BAFTA together.

Of course, there has been the glory that are the Big Finish audio adventures that feature the Doctor and Donna Noble: volumes 1, 3, and Kidnapped. You can find snippets of these on the Big Finish website.

They were scheduled to appear together as a married couple in a comedy called Americons, but the pandemic put paid to that idea. *sigh* Shame.

Hopefully, there are a few things here that you'd like to seek out later.

hiii, i just wanted to get this out of my chest, and i’m sure you can put it in words better than me but.. i think the greatest is one of the most beautiful love songs in H&L love songs history. oh god it’s just so pure and gorgeously written about their highs and downs and how they worked on every little thing in their relationship and how far they made it together. it’s like having falling, adore you, habit, sweet creature, walls, we made it, sunflower, keep driving, satellite etc etc all in one song. you see, he talks about all of that and then goes like : “no falling all to pieces we’re the greatest it’s you and me until the end life for us is never over” ughhh everytime i listen to it i wanna cry about how special their love is and how they truly are the one for each other.

i so agree. the first time i heard it i had goosebumps all over, my mouth fell open, i couldn't believe what i was hearing.

circle round my heart where the best of me should start as a link back to walls. we'll never be that cold again referring back to the stories they've told of being deep in the gutter when they were alone. your face reminding me of a love you cannot hide and we had to disappear screams closeting, a continuation of we made it. alone we're only just as good as the rest they've tried doing their shit alone but the way their love fuels what they do and sprinkles their art with magic is incomparable. life for us is never over bc they're making a mark and leaving a legacy. a masterful opener for an album that calls in a new era

Your game is hands-down one of the best I've played so far. It's breath-taking to me just how much content you've put into it. There's so many choices, so many different dialogue options with unique responses. It's amazing. I can't imagine how difficult it was to write the game up to this point, and I am sincerely thankful for all the effort you've put in so far and continue to. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you so much! 🤍🤍 I love to write different dialogue options with different responses, see where the conversation goes. I sometimes go overboard with that haha. I'm definitely going to implement a save feature for the game, thankfully Hosted Games just recently came up with an easier solution for authors to do that. I want people to explore freely the different choices. Your kind words made me smile, thank you. 🤍

I've learned so much from you two as a newly discovered a-spec. Thank you for being here.

Im glad we could help someone!

I'm so so proud of you for all of this

Thank you, Nonny, this honestly means a lot to hear right now. 🧡
