Doctor who showrunners be like “writing a good story to secure the show’s continued existence? That pales in comparison to my strategy. Stuntcasting Billie piper” and then not even secure the show’s continued existence.

thing thats pissing me off the most is that in rtd’s post, he’s acting like the christmas special being written and the casting of the next doctor are some crazy fandom conspiracies and not. things that we were fucking told were happening. the fuck do you mean, “sit in that chair and wait to be proved right?” YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID THOSE THINGS WERE COMING.

this is not a secret fourth sherlock episode situation, sir, you said multiple fucking times that things were in the works for a christmas special. you commented on the doctor’s casting and whether piper was the next doctor or not. no one made this up. you did that. what the hell are we being mocked for, believing what we were told by the guy who was supposed to be in charge of making it happen???

hello the bbc can i interest you in a 70+ book series about the fifteenth doctor for a mature audience containing fan service torture and bisexuality? crucially these books must cost £4.99 each and make you no money whatsoever

being a 60s Dr Who fan is so hard. like hello I'm writing a fanfiction to explore this character's trauma. Yeah his trauma from when he was imprisoned on Mechanus. From when he was imprisoned on Mechanus by the Mechanoids. Stop laughing at him.

i’m obsessed with the notion that the doctor and the master go insanely fast through their regenerations compared to the average time lord. like normally time lords can be thousands of years old and be on their third regeneration or something, meanwhile the doctor is on their second regeneration CYCLE at mere 2000 and the master i don’t even know anymore probably like the third. like damn bitch you live like this

the funniest thing about actors who play multiple characters in dw is that sometimes they explain it and sometimes they just don't bother. like the twelfth doctor looks exactly like that one dude he met in pompeii two regenerations ago because he chose that face on purpose. martha looks exactly like some random girl who died at canary wharf because they're cousins. there are multiple distinct characters who look exactly like clara because she entered the doctor's timestream and all that weird sci-fi nonsense. but sometimes it's just like... the second doctor has an evil mexican doppelganger for no reason. there's a weird guy from alabama in the 60s who looks exactly like steven for no reason. there's like three different guys who are all mark gatiss

Companion concept: Xenobiologist who is actually in it to study Time Lords as a species and the easiest way to do this is get adopted by the Doctor as their current pet friend. The adventures are just what one must go through for primary sources.

The obvious issue here is that the Doctor is complete bullshit and lies about everything, especially themself, but there is still much that can be figured out by observation alone

Entire books about Gallifreyan mating displays could be written based on the notes taken during an interaction with the Master

“average Doctor is really really cool” factoid actually just statistical error. average Doctor is very uncool. The ninth doctor who wore a leather jacket 24/7 and told a dalek to kill himself is an outlier and should not have been counted

The reason Donna has never seen the doctor regenerate without David Tennant is actually because the presence of Donna Noble spawns David Tennants in Time Lords the same way temperature feminizes lizards. If the master died in front of Donna he would regenerate into David Tennant
