13th Doctor

ID: Digital painting of missy and twelve hugging. The background is an impressionist rendering of the tardis console room. We can see missy’s head on twelves shoulder and her hands behind his neck and on his back. both of his hands are on her back. Her eyes are closed.

I have some food for yall Twee-lovers
I commissioned the lovely @goingdownmycase (now active on twitter as @ZeoRandy) a tension-filled scene of our favourite boys, let’s just say I really like it >:]
Do you guys think the doctor would give people the uncanny valley feeling cause they look human but also they aren’t really
doctor who canon is easy. It's true if I like it
OR if it's really funny
i just think it would be sooo funny if the doctor found out there were ways the master didn’t like them saying their name.
like the doctor finds this out and immediately commits to saying it only in a valley girl accent.
the doctor: okaaay~ (twirls hair) maaaasta 💅 the master: no. no no no stop it. not like that. the doctor: ohhh what's wrong, maasta~? i thought you liiiiked it when i said your name 🥺✨ the master: i’m going to commit a crime the doctor: you like already did that bestie💖
“I hope you live without the need to dominate, and without the need to be dominated. I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people. And when you fail, and are defeated, and in pain, and in the dark, then I hope you will remember that darkness is your country, where you live, where no wars are fought and no wars are won, but where the future is. Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing — instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.”

this passage planted itself in my consciousness when i was 24, and 10 years later, it informs so much of my approach to living, thinking, creating.
Again I must reiterate that this is a real, officially licensed magazine

13 is FUCKING CRYING over killed sontarans that tried to retreat when some man decided to kill all of them. "men like you make me wonder why i bother with humanity" god DAMN chibnall i hope you're happy bc i can't stop thinking about this moment now. those are her ENEMIES but she's still so empathetic
#and the reason this works imo is that she IS prepared to kill#it's not 10's mealy-mouthed hypocrisy#it's a specifically 13-flavored mix of compassion and pragmatism and optimism and frustration#it's the rage at seeing an empire gleefully steamroller the soldiers of another#and in an era that took pains to remind us they used to be a soldier#it's solidarity. yknow? (via @whifferdills)
#i'm about to add to the tag chain lol#i think a lot of people miss the point this era makes wrt violence etc#which is that like... context matters lmao.#it doesn't take a blanket violence = bad stance#it takes a stance of 'violence for the sake of it/violence in the service of injustice and imperialist expansion' = bad#but violence in defence of the defenceless?? violence in self-defence or as a method of pushing BACK against those who would use violence--#to subjugate others and grind them under their heel??#this era is ok with that.#wild to me that people want the dr to care abt the cybermen+daleks+sontarans in 13x06#when Flux goes OUT OF ITS WAY to show us that these 3 empires only cared about themselves. like even in the ruins of the universe--#post-flux event they only care about getting to be kings of the scrapheap. they squabble over the remains!!! and backstab each other!!#they're actively shown STILL terrorising and hunting down innocents!!!#y'all REALLY want the narrative to make us feel bad about them getting hoisted by their own selfish petard???? el em eff ay oh#a sontaran army getting blown up by a man trying to save his pride from the results of his own mistake#(the one that ended in his own men getting massacred because HE wouldn't call off the attack)#is miles away from invading dalek and cybermen armies getting backstabbed by the sontarans and then the Dr co-opting that betrayal to--#take out all 3 armies before they laid waste to Earth. like c'mon now.#doctor who#scifi sundrop (via @handdrawnfantasma)
