Reginald Who?

my favourite thing about classic who is seeing people get hit with the sparky pew pew gun that makes you gently lower yourself to the ground while making faces

So many people abandoning Doctor Who during Capaldi years still upsets me so much. These were peak quality years, one of the best Doctors and best stories in the entire history of the show. "Heaven Sent", "The Doctor Falls", "Last Christmas", "Listen", The Zygon two-parter...And people are sleeping on that. I just think it is really unfair.

the doctor takes a hit and pulls a little damaged gizmo out of their pocket like nooo my perception filter!! D: and after a moment it craps out altogether but nothing changes about their appearance so their companions are like wait. what was the perception filter doing? and the Doctor is like. giving me a belly button :(

Character duo where one *remembers I don’t like fitting characters into trope boxes* is a completely fleshed out and realised person *remembers treating characters as real people and not story devices written with intent is bad* who is written by the author and *remembers death of the author* uh. And *fumbles and drops my pile of queue cards* ah fuck wait no *the menacing horse* what was that.
