adding onto my list of favourite twelve moments/quotes: “there's a horror movie called alien? that's really offensive. no wonder everyone keeps invading you.” & taking bill to an alien planet and making her believe the sky is made of lemon drops for a moment because it would be nice<3

when twelve said human progress isn't measured by industry it's measured by the value you place on a life an unimportant life a life without privilege that’s what defines an age that’s what defines a species, when twelve said he’s not trying to win he’s not doing this because he wants to beat someone or because he hates someone or because he wants to blame someone it’s not because it’s fun and god knows it’s not because it’s easy it’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does, when twelve said he does what he does because it’s right because it’s decent and above all it’s kind it’s just that just kind when twelve said if he just ran away today good people die if he stands and fight some of them might live maybe not many maybe not for long and hey maybe there’s not point in any of this at all but it’s the best he can do so he’s going to do it and he will stand there doing it till it kills him, when twelve said where he stands he falls when twelve said why not just at the end just be kind when twelve said it’s not a game because it’s always the same when you fire that first shot no matter how right you feel you have no idea who’s going to die you don’t know whose children are going to scream and burn how many hearts will be broken how many lives shattered how much blood will spill until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: sit down and talk, when twelve said never be cruel never be cowardly (and never ever eat pears) remember hate is always foolish love is always wise always try to be nice and never fail to be kind......when twelve said laugh hard run fast be kind when twelve said doctor—i let you go.... when twelve said nothing’s sad until it’s over then everything is

i do often think of the “human progress isn’t measured by industry, it’s measured by the value you place on a life—an unimportant life, a life without privilege” line and then i also remember it comes from a man who calls himself doctor disco and takes five sugars with his tea

accidentally rewatched twelve’s regeneration this is so upsetting
