Behind the scenes of Candyman 1992

You know why this makes us feel so much? Because we never got closure last time.

Rose - big goodbye beach scene

Martha - left for her own self preservation, then became a badass.

Donna - no time for goodbye, had to have her mind wiped because it was killing her. The goodbye they had was..."yeah, see yah."

What if! We get a proper goodbye this time?

OR

What if! We don't? Because "it doesn't always have to be a big goodbye."

Bat-men Boyfriends

Selina: “So you are Damian’s girlfriend huh? Let me tell you. Living with a Bat-Men is hard.”

Kori: “Yes!”

Rose: “They are stubborn and the only thing they care about is fighting.”

Bernard: “they are a bunch of Workaholics and rarely any fun”

Raven: “well…Dami spends a lot of time with me. We enjoy hanging out.” 

Selina, Kori, Rose, and Bernard: 🤯

Raven: “And he’s super kind and we talk a lot about our feelings.”

Selina, Kori, Rose, and Bernard: 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢

Selina: 💢💢💢💢 “Oh, Really?! You hear that Bruce?!”

Bernard: 💢 “Does he?! That's very interesting! what do you think Tim?”

Rose:💢💢💢 “I see, so that's how it is…”

Kori:💢💢 ✊*the sudden urge to punch something…or more like someone.*

Bruce, Dick, Jason, and Tim: 😨 “RUN!!!”

Fourteen is just gonna turn that second TARDIS into a library, isn't he? It's gonna grow weeds around the bottom as it sits there in the backyard next to Rose's TARDIS. He's gonna dig through all of his outer space logs and find the weirdest creatures in the universe and then he's gonna sprint across and shove a picture in her face and say: Hey think you can make THIS one?? And all her customers are gonna be like: WHERE do you come up with this stuff?? And she'll tell em her uncle helps.

Over time, the TARDIS will learn to chill out too, grow smaller and slower and dimmer. The Doctor will get special issues and old tomes and otherworldly pamphlets delivered to Wilf's old newsstand and he'll wheel Wilf down to collect them and get a sneaky pie while Sylvia isn't looking. Sylvia is gonna say the TARDIS is too chilly (even though she barely steps inside the thing for fear of it flitting off with her) so she's gonna bring CHAIRS and pillows and throws and cups of tea. Mostly because Rose and her Dad like to hang out in there. Definitely not for the Doctor himself. (Although he does like her tuna madras better than anyone else does, so maybe she brings him some of that. Just so it doesn't go to waste). Sean will build the Doctor a desk and a little patio around the TARDIS perimeter so he can sit outside and sun himself. And when Donna comes home from a hard day's work at UNIT, he's gonna throw thick volumes at her, saying: oh I know what that is, read this, that'll help. And Donna will be like: WHY do I gotta read a big ole book when YOU can just TELL ME what we're dealing with? And Fourteen's gonna be like: oh no, I'm retired. And I'm working on a full written history of [insert weird alien name -- probly the horsey alien thing from "Wild Blue Yonder"]. But now and again, when things get really dire, she will persuade him to come to UNIT as a consultant. The TARDIS will stay put tho, it'll just keep growing grass around the bottom and gathering leaves on top. Instead, he'll chuck Donna the keys to the car and say: You're driving (and then he'll complain about her driving the whole way as he is scrunched up against the car door because Donna now has full license from UNIT to be a hoon).

People will really go out of their way to find ways to complain about how people ship. "oh but there's canon this (which is what I want to ship)" great, bud. Ship away. There's a tag for you! "I don't like this ship, why can't they just ship (this ship I like)?" Because shippers gonna ship, there's still a tag just for your preferred ship!

Trust me, I feel it. One of my faves has a super popular ship I don't vibe with. Know what I did? blocked that tag and let them ship without bothering me about it. We can leave character tags neutral and ship in ship tags. It's a good setup here. Enjoy your ships.

You can even block headcanons you don't like! It's why we love tags here so much (and get a little pissy when people abuse them - use tags appropriately, this isn't insta or tiktok, you're not influencing the algorithm here.) It helps keep things organized when you use tags to tag just what you want (and whatever algorithm there is here learns only what you want).

Surround yourself with what you want to see in your tumblr experience and you'll be a lot happier that way, trust.

To all the “What about Martha?” people, I would like to gift you this…

SPOILERS FOR THE NEW DOCTOR WHO SPECIAL BELOW THE CUT!

You know that the FIRST thing Donna is gonna do with her UNIT access, now that she remembers her, is look up our dear Dr. Martha Jones and have her round for tea. And Martha’s going to bring Mickey, incase you forgot that those two got together (I didn’t). And the three of them are absolutely going to DRAG The Doctor.

They’ll regale each other with “War Stories”, like how Donna and the Doctor fought fat. Or when Martha helped Shakespeare save the world with Harry Potter. Or how Mickey and Rose were trapped on a spaceship and Ten showed up 10 minutes late, drunk with his tie around his head, after snogging a historical figure.

Martha is going to meet Rose. And yes, Rose will absolutely love her new Auntie, but Martha will just adore the ground Rose walks on. She’ll help Rose with her toys, telling her stories about all the different creatures she recognizes. She’ll give her hair tips, and take her shopping, cause that’s what Aunties do.

Mickey and Shaun will bond, they’ll share a pint and laugh. Maybe Wilf will join them. Sometimes they’ll talk about what it’s like to be amongst the stars, other days they just sit and watch the football game.

Jack shows up at some point, because of course he does. No one remembers calling him, he just showed up on the front step with a bottle of wine, and arms full of presents for Rose, because he has 15 years worth of spoiling to make up for.

Meanwhile The Doctor gets to see some of his favourite people again. Sometimes they have big family dinners, where they have to go eat in the TARDIS just to fit everyone. Sometimes they just pop round for tea, and a chat.

And they’ll go on adventures, of course they will. Because they can do that now. They can go on an adventure, and then go back to their lives.

The Doctor gets to have a family, and a normal life, and it’s wonderful.
