Round One: Doctor Who Tournament -

Who is your favourite?

I recently read the highlanders novelisation and I liked the part where Jamie asks the Doctor when he's going to perform bloodletting on the injured Laird. because that's what makes sense to him!

cut to me googling when bloodletting fell out of practice to see if Victoria would also be a fan. turns out yes (end of the 19th century)

sometimes you have to have a silly idea and see it through to completion. plus I love love LOVE when the Doctor's companions gang up on him, and I wanted to draw J + V in their matching tartan because it was just too cute

sometimes a coming-of-age story is about holding your abusive mother as a baby and although you won’t reconcile with her in the present you begin to understand how generational trauma may have affected her behaviour towards you long ago. sometimes a coming-of-age story is also about defeating sea vampire nazis through the power of faith and befriending a communist and a devastating betrayal from your space mentor . and in the end it’s about taking your hair out of the constricting netting that’s been holding it and diving for a swim into the wild swirling waters

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun, and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it. And I will stand here doing it till it kills me. You're going to die too, some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand, is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?

Little sketch to procrastinate with :3

twelveclara parallel I never recognized before I am unwell

to me doctor who is about seeing someone at their worst and loving them anyway

I don’t think any doctor who speech will ever match up to this one for me

even though we’re shown cyberman bill as human bill for the sake of the audience (and because it’s how bill sees herself) I truly believe it’s because that’s how the doctor sees her too. twelve sees his friends at their core. as who they really are. clara (visibly aged) saying “do you really see no difference in me?” he really doesn’t. he loves his friends so deeply in a way that I don’t know if we had ever really seen the doctor love before. “am I a good man?” “I don't know. but I think you try to be and I think that's probably the point." AND HE DOES! because as much as he tries to hide it or downplay it, he loves his friends so. much. he wants to be a good man - if for no other reason - for them. for clara. for river. for bill. even for missy. this man is overwhelmed with love to the point that he can’t even say it. if he loved them less, he might be able to talk about it more.

thinking about victorian clara going into the tardis for the first time and saying “I don’t know why I’m crying” I do. I know why. a small part of the original clara is in her subconscious and is so relieved that the doctor finally notices her and invites her into his life

I think one of the reasons I love moffat era so much is because of the overwhelming themes of grief and tragedy matched with love and kindness. do you get what I’m saying

it’s been over nine years since deep breath aired and “you look at me and you can’t see me” still tears me to pieces
