“Thirteen and Bill would be sooo romantically involved and there’d be so much lesbianism going on!”
NO! No there wouldn’t! Bc Bill wouldn’t go from looking at 12 as her space grandpa to looking at 13 as ‘oh she’s hot, I could get with that!’ 13 would be her Space Nan.
Bill would answer, ‘who are you?’ With a panicked ‘oh I’m Bill and that’s my Nan’ and 13 would just 😑 bc now she really doesn’t look old enough to look like her grandparent so Bill has to quickly change it to ‘mum’
13 would be adorable trying to play wingman for Bill and a girl she likes, convincing her to go and get the cute waitresses number and Bill would be embarrassed like mad bc you don’t want your Nan trying to get you hooked up
Bill would ship 13 and Yaz bc she can see how happy 13 looks when she’s with her, but turn away all ‘ew’ when they finally kiss bc who wants to see their Nan kiss someone
Bill would yell at her and call her a stupid arsehole bc she went and out herself in danger and then hug her really tight and try not to cry bc she already lost her granddad and she doesn’t wanna lose her nan too and it’s the first time the Doctor doesn’t correct her or mind that title and just hugs her back

I hadn't wanted to make any speculations about why Fourten is back (in-universe reasons, I mean) in case I was proven wrong, but after tonight's episode I want to throw my hat into the ring now. Specifically, after the Timeless Child and the Flux was brought up.
Fourten is a comfort face. That's my current guess. Thirteen had her whole sense of herself shaken by the Timeless Child reveal. And then everything that happened during Flux only made it worse. Fourten is the regenerational equivalent of someone who's just survived something traumatic surrounding themselves with things from their past that makes them feel safe.
Maybe that's why the Doctor's gone back to the Temple-Nobles, as well. A chance to catch their breath between new faces and new people and new everything, to take a bit of time to be with old friends with an old face. Another chance to have a laugh with his best friend. To hug the man he'd have been proud to be the son of. To be reassured that Sylvia's much the same, that Shaun's a good husband, that everything they did meant something in the end, even if it had to be memory wiped.
That's why this is happening, it's a buffer period for the Doctor to get their bearings. Which then leads me to think that the regeneration is going to come because they're going to be reminded that they need to keep moving on, even if it's painful and confusing and they don't like it. And that's gonna be where Fifteen comes in, I think.

Even though the Master said he destroyed Gallifrey out of rage because of his jealousy for the Doctor's past as the Timeless Child, I can't take my mind off the fact that he's obviously done it because he hated the Time Lords for having treated the Doctor with such cruelty.

One thing I loved about Witchfinders is it’s the first and really ONLY time that the Doctors gender works against her.
Yeah the bad guys got a LOT more closer to her than they would have if she was a man, and there were a few ‘the Doctors a man, you can’t be them’ but it was never explicit.
Here’s the first time she understands ‘hey it’s not just a fun set decoration, there’s actual real life consequences to being a woman.’
Like here’s she’s genuinely shocked that James would threaten her not bc he’s a bad guy and she’s the Doctor, but solely bc she’s a woman, something that she never had to deal with before
And then here’s the first time she gets told she’s not in charge, she’s less intelligent, she’s less than, she’s degraded by being called ‘wee lassie’ when she’s the oldest, smartest and most experienced person in the room, and she’s being told she can’t be a leader bc she’s a woman and she has to pretend the least competent companion is in charge of her (after she just risked her life to save someone) and she is absolutely stunned and PISSED, like it never crossed her mind before she would have to deal with that.
Like I love this episode bc of that so much, and no I didn’t want every other episode hounding it into us that for a large vast amount of history women were seen as less than, but one episode in 3 seasons could have been expanded a bit.

he has ten’s face. but he has eleven’s rage and sorrow. he has the kindness and compassion of twelve. and he has the childlike wonder of thirteen. he is a new doctor, and i am loving it.
