but what if they hugged?? What if they touched foreheads??? What if they cried together????? What if they laughed together???? What if they loved each other SO DAMN MUCH??????

the doctor who tv movie was good actually

like yeah it's weird, and surreal, and nonsensical at times. but it's so sincere and heartfelt and i think that the weirdness actually adds. because that's the point the film's making about life. yes, it's scary, and weird, and dangerous at times, but sometimes - just for one night - you can hold back death. grace is tired of life but scared of dying and by the end she's found a reason to live. lee feels powerless and aimless and by the end he's saved the world.

people meme on "these shoes they fit perfectly" a lot but i think that scene is actually one of the best in doctor who full stop. because before that the doctor's talking about being back on gallifrey watching a meteor storm with his father - "the sky above us was dancing with lights, purple, green, brilliant yellow!" and he's so joyous at the beauty of this universal thing, a meteor storm. and then it's back into the mundane, his shoes, they fit perfectly, but the joy is the same. it is all so beautiful.

i'm still obsessed with the Eighth Doctor exiling himself to a universe without time to keep his universe safe from Zagreus, convinced that there's no cure for him and that he'll have to live the rest of his days with Zagreus inside him, unable to return to his universe because Zagreus would destroy everything and everyone he loves; refusing to take his best friend with him to protect her from himself and breaking her heart in the process; accepting his fate with bitterness and expressing his disdain for the Time Lords he had considered his heroes in the past; believing that, even though he will be trapped in another universe, at least he will have his TARDIS with him and they'll have new adventures together, only for him to lose the TARDIS as soon as he reaches the Divergent universe; losing his sense of identity as a Time Lord in a universe without time, comparing his existence in that universe to torture; and finally, the thing that saves the Doctor being Charley's refusal to leave him on his own, following him to the Divergent universe even when that means betraying his trust and his final wish of keeping her safe.

i just want donna to find out about the twelfth doctor, okay? maybe it's backyard brunch and she asks why a face came back again for her or something and the doctor has to be like, well, it's not even the first time that has happened. i want donna noble to find out that the doctor once regenerated into the face of a person she saved.
