"Including my wife" // "Aw, River, love"

I guess the reason I love the name of the doctor so much is kind of the bait and switch of it, where Moffat teases that the Doctor's real name is some secret mysterious birth name that's a surprise tool to save the day, but then the Doctor drops the title in the final line "but not in the name of the Doctor" and it just clicks that it's never been about the power of the name youre given at birth. The Name of the Doctor isn't alluding to the Doctor's "real name" but the promise inherent in the title "The Doctor", which is only powerful because the Doctor chose it for himself. Idk. Do you get it. This is because Dr Who is transgender.

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

the whole dash is posting doctor in distress i'm glad we have one joke

England isn't a real country, stupid. England is a lie to sell you more Doctor Who

Wales is real though, where else would they film Doctor Who

Doctor who recommends reducing screen time to help with stress, because constantly spending time with the main characters and dealing with plot-relevant drama is bad for your wellbeing.

Y'all see two words together and imprint on it like ducklings following a helium balloon.

I actually remember all of these. If not, I would have assumed this was a shitpost

These are just from new who as well. I didn’t even get into classic who and such iconic villains as bioengineered rats from space and the vampires that can be repelled if you believe in communism hard enough

I only know of the Adipo. Tell me more about the vampires

I think it was a seventh doctor thing or something? I dunno. They were aliens that were basically vampires and you repel them if you focus on your true belief in something. Basically trying to explain why vampires get repelled by crosses I guess. One of the minor characters in that episode was a Russian Soviet military guy who focused on his belief in the communist party to repel them.

Doctor Who is simultaneously an “everything can be explained by science” show and an “a wizard did it” show so you have a main character who is an atheist that has met the devil and seen proof of the existence of the afterlife and the separation between the mind and body who brandishes a magic wand and meets Scrooge from a Christmas story but in space

The universe of Doctor Who doesn’t believe in the concept of a soul but at the same time your soul does exist and can in fact get trapped inside a computer by the WiFi that kills you. The Doctor tells Robin Hood to his face that he doesn’t exist and that’s basically the vibe of the entire show.

It’s so funny that the Doctor sighs in exasperation whenever companions wander off, because like half the show is the Doctor also just… wandering off in a random direction for no reason. You’re The Wanderer™, ya dingus.
