also do not ask me to elaborate but Thick Skull and You First by Paramore are both thoschei songs (specifically like. tensimm era thoschei, alright just. trust me on this one.)

Things you can't convince me aren't canon

The Doctor is autistic.

The Doctor and the Master are definitely divorced.

Five is asthmatic and has some sort of peripheral nerve damage in his legs (because his regeneration almost failed).

Nine wears Fitz Kreiner's leather jacket.

Time Lords are actually eldritch but normal humans can't tell because we can only perceive three dimensions at once.

River Song makes it out of the Library somehow.

The Spy Master first met the Doctor as 'O' when he was Eleven.

Sacha Dhawan plays a character called Reverend Matthew in the audio Ghost Walk, and I like to pretend it's the Master fucking around and being manipulative and shit in disguise. It's very entertaining, especially since a woman in his employ literally calls him Master at one point.

Evelyn knitted Seven's outfit.

Two and Jamie definitely had something going on.

Ood Sigma and hallucination Amy were Ten and Eleven's Watchers, respectively.

Eight is 'like that' (if you know you know) because the anesthesia Seven got delayed regeneration long enough that some of his brain started to die from lack of oxygen, bloodflow, etc etc.

If Survival had been a Sixey episode, he would have had a VERY different reaction to local catboy Master. (I said what I said.)

I'll add more eventually, but I need to sleep now.

River: there’s a thin line between being a genius and a complete idiot River: the Doctor and the Master use that line as a jump rope River: sometimes I do that too

the tenth doctor and the master in the last of the time lords and the end of time / i'm your man by mitski

the terrible fire of old regret is honey on my tongue,

and i know i shouldn't love you

i know i shouldn't love you,

but i do.

Slight unimportant reminder that those lyrics are part of the song the master sang to the doctor during the year that never was

Yk, that episode where the Doctor is aged for no other reason than making it less sexy

Yup

Doctor: Did you have to stab him? River: You weren't there. You didn't hear what he said to me. Doctor: What did he say? River: "Bet you can't stab me" Master: To be fair, I would have stabbed me too.

“If you would let me give you pinkie promise kisses / then I wouldn’t have to scream your name atop of every roof in the city of my heart”

Once more to see you — Mitski

if i won’t have lost the special interest by the time i’m back at uni and i’d have seen most of classic by then i want to write an academic paper on gender in doctor who. because there is SO MUCH to say about it. thinking about missy’s lampshading of the companion-as-gender in world enough and time. companion is a de facto gender, right? and the doctor is a gender. thirteen is not more feminine than ten or eleven, in fact, she’s emotionally distant and harsh in highly masculine-coded ways and the doctor will always find themselves taking on the masculine role re: the narrative, no matter what gender the actor that’s playing them is. of course amy pond as the ur-example of the companion without agency, treated by the story as a vessel and an object to pass between husband and doctor. then there’s subversion (ace, bill) and deconstruction (clara). martha’s character being simplified in the public consciousness as ten’s tragic rebound, ignoring her doctorification arc. doctorification itself as a transition of sorts. time lords’ gender-fluidity contrasted with their culture’s rigid social norms. cybermen and daleks turning themselves genderless as a marker of dystopian uniformity. the role of river song. rose noble and her magical mystery metacrisis transgenderism. charley sneaking onto the R101 dressed as a boy. ace dressing gwendoline in a man’s costume in ghost light as a symbol of evolution

i swear it could go on forever . i bet when i’ve watched the rest of classic the list of examples would be twice as long, the earlier you look
