the time lords are always like ohhhh why does the doctor refuse to come home, what did we ever do and it's like of all the classic who doctors, the only ones you didn't try to kill were the first, third, and seventh and that's largely because you never met the first or seventh and you had already killed the second successfully.
DW Rewatch Liveblog Thoughts
Rewatching season 14 for season 15/finally understanding it with s11-13 context and:
- The Doctor saying he's recognize Susan. NO SIR YOU WOULD NOT. Horrible facial recognition on him. Cannot recognize another Time Lord for ANYTHING
- Rose why aren't you at schooolll (i hope her and Ruby hang out more)
- 73 yards having a mysterious entity staring at you from a distance unable to interact with it ft. perception filter. Sutekh parallel?
- I rewatched The Devil's Chord with friends and the restraint it took not to me like "this is a direct Pyramids of Mars" scene >:)
- I DID get the aforementioned friends to watch about 10 minutes worth of Trial of a Timelord though so i consider that a small victory. And they listened to me yap about Shada.
I don't think the master has ever talked to anyone the way he talks to "My dear miss Grant"
Hey, oomfies! This Eid, let’s spread some more love to Gaza. Grassroots orgs there are doing incredible work despite the many limitations...getting food, meds, and shelter to families who’ve lost everything. Even a few bucks can make a real difference. Donate the cost of a coffee!
On this day twenty years ago, Rose Tyler tried to find out more about the mysterious man known as the Doctor by googling "doctor". Iconic shit.
Doctor who is a show that you should watch. Doctor who is a show that you shouldn't watch. But more importantly, doctor who is a show that you cannot watch

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
