DOCTOR WHO | The Star Beast

donna with everything she does post-ten

Phonetic Gallifreyan Weekend - Word 49: Rose

Doctor Who Fandom; Am I losing it?

Did we not already know that Rose is Donnas daughter? Like, I've known this since Rose was announced. Is this news?? What?

people who don’t like the fact that donna’s daughter is trans and that the doctor is canonically gay and has been a woman and also will (eventually? tomorrow?) be a black man clearly don’t understand doctor who.

go watch the episodes again, big dog. they aren’t “going woke”, this is doctor who.

If big finish produces

A- a story about Rose Noble and the 14th Doctor going on an adventure to mars

AND ALSO

2- a drama of the Dhawan master, playing a game against the Toymaker.

I’ll finally actually listen to a big finish.

Shaun Temple is a fucking real one actually. You meet a woman who has allegedly just had a mental breakdown so severe she's lost a year of her memory. She's loud and brash and is NOT taking your name and you are like ohhh I can't not marry her. You two have a kid, the most amazing daughter in the world. Your wife has a hole in her heart aching for something that she can't identify and your daughter feels like she's from another planet and both of them have dreams they can't explain and you probably chalk that up to them being extraordinary but in an ordinary way where their hearts are too big and their minds are too brilliant to not carry some grief. And then it turns out that oh your wife has a best friend who's a ????? years old Alien that's the last of their species and also your daughter IS part alien bc technically your wife genetically is also part alien but also maybe not now? And then your wife is like. The happiest you've ever seen her and she fucks off for two days but and the world literally starts to end but she fixes it and she brings back her ???? years old alien best friend forever and is like WE'RE KEEPING HIM AND ALSO THIS WOMAN THAT I MET LIKE TEN HOURS AGO and now he's calling you his brother-in-law and is definitely co-parenting now you're like. Just cool with all of that. Not a single hint of jealousy or nothin. Honestly king shit.

This is 100% the Doctor taking a selfie

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

i just know game night at the noble-temple-doctor’s is intense. there’s still feuds over uno matches played weeks ago. sylvia is one draw four away from slapping 14 again, donna is staring daggers at wilf who just skipped her for the 3rd time in a row, rose looks like she’s losing but her hand is full of +2’s and she’s about to rain hellfire upon shaun who is simply happy his family is having game night

THEY SAY SHES SHOULD BEVER USE NOBLE-TEMPLE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS WEIRD

SO

TEMPLE-NOBLE

TEMPLE FROM THE LATIN ROOT TEMP MEANING TIME

NOBLE MEANING A PERSON BORN INTO HIGH SOCIAL OR POLITICAL RANK, INCLUDING NOBLEMAN WHO ARE SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS LORDS
