NuWho - Tumblr Posts
i do regret not putting rose in the last post i did but as much as i want to believe bisexual rose tyler i don't think it's ever been officially stated
this being said i fully believe billie piper's statement that rose would still love 13. bi rose is canon in my eyes (or possibly demi rose actually)
for the sake of clarification my headcanons for everyone in the sapphic companion poll:
nyssa - lesbian
tegan - lesbian
ace - bi
rose - demi (she wasn't there but shush)
clara - bi (literally canon)
bill - lesbian (literally canon)
yaz - lesbian (yeah)
my GOD you people love bill potts
alright guys results are in - bill is the lesbian of all time according to tumblr
if i ca think of 6 of them i may do an mlm companion poll as well but being honest i can think of jack and maybe jamie and that's about it..
one thing i've noticed is not only is there more sapphic representation with major characters in nuwho but there tends to be a more active sapphic subsection of the community compared to achillian fans? speaking as a lesbian myself i do wish there was a little more mlm representation in nuwho, the biggest achillian ship in the series is jack/ianto and that's in a spinoff so
NO FUCKING WAY
SPACE LESBIAN WINS????
I'M. GOING TO BE ENTIRELY HONEST I WAS WHOLEHEARTEDLY EXPECTING HARKNESS TO WIN
TUMBLR LIKES WOMEN APPARENTLY, GOOD TO KNOW
bill potts has claimed the crown of the queer doctor who companion of all time
oh ruby sunday is most DEFINITELY a space player. tied so intrinsically to motherhood? her one standalone episode revolves around distance? fear of isolation? snowfall? my god all she's missing is a pet frog.
rory williams is a time player. i assume this does not need explanation.
this is how i imagine showing doctor who to any of my friends:
*trash can eats a person and burps*
friend: i thought that this show is beautiful and changed you fundamentally as a person?
me: bro i swear it gets better
*skin pancake plays toxic*
It will forever be iconic when Rouge is out here sussing out the shapeshifting threat and the Doctor is over here like: ah yes, the queer vibes is what you must be picking up, yes you absolutely know what I am *blink blinkity blink*
doctor who is just *incomprehensible horrors persist* *inconsolable grief* *identity crisis* and then moving on because they're british
I'm conducting very important, scientific research
most fucked up thing about nuwho companions is the only reason why any of them would have plot contrivances or deus ex machina is so the plot could fit in one episode. because we KNOW that if it took them decades or even centuries to accomplish something, these recalcitrant mules would still find a way to do it. they just haul ass until the job’s done, every time. and they persist. it’s incredible and terrifying
Love and Monsters. I rest my case.
yes this is a bad doctor who episode, but is it a bad episode (unwatchable) or a bad episode (my favourite)?
This is what we'll get for the next multidoctor story
we were all thinking it
Comment Bingo: Doctor Who Edition
Very simple rules: comment on a fic with the given tag/trope in a particular square; repeat until you've completed 5 squares in a line
Very simple goals: encourage readers to comment on fics; encourage fandom writers to KEEP WRITING
I created a Doctor Who Comment Bingo card, combining common Who tropes and tags. Thank you to @feedthefandomfest for the idea and template. Feel free to use and spread the love.
Me watching series two of nuwho for the first time:
Ten is okay I guess. Don't get why people are obsessed with him. Miss Mr. Eccleston.
Me after the one-two punch of The Runaway Bride and Smith and Jones:
Oh. I get it now.
Honestly 13 would be sweet and have a strong flavour .
@giddyaunt425 Thanks for the suggestion!
