#There’s something heartbreaking about Jamie being so good and genuine with children when we know the kind of childhood he had…

THIRTEENTH DOCTOR - “I know exactly who I am…I’m the Doctor. Sorting out fair play throughout the universe.”

The further and further we move away from 13 era Who the more and more I feel thankful to Jodie, Mandip, Chibs and crew that we have it.

I don’t think I realised how lucky we were when it was on or how likely it was going to be the only era of its kind.

Chibs had a harder time than the other showrunners of NuWho. It was a constant uphill battle, a lot of the fandom already didn’t like his writing and didn’t want him as showrunner, a good chunk of the fandom didn’t really want a female doctor, they weren’t interested in a more naturalistic less campy version of the show, budgets at the BBC became tighter, BBC were more restrictive and then to top it off there was a world wide pandemic, destroying industries, taking lives and making feats like making flux seem like it would be impossible.

The show was a light in the darkness during that time, Jodie shone brighter then a diamond as the Doctor we all needed, not just in the show but here in the real world for all of us.

I hope we never forget how lucky we were that these people put their love, time, dedication and mental resilience especially against an ever hostile ‘fan’base on the line to give us this wonderful era of the show, it will be sorely miss.

“When I was first coming up through Sunderland, there was an old-timer on the team. Local guy. He and his wife were about to have their first kid, so during training one day, I made a joke that, statistically, I was probably the real dad. And the boys fell about laughing, but he went fսcking nuts. He battered me. Properly. I had a black eye, chipped tooth, three broken ribs. I couldn’t play for six games. He got booted off the team. After that, no club would go near him. Then in the summer, after I could breathe again, I bumped into him in a pub. And I got the chance to say sorry for my stupid fսcking joke. And he got to tell me… he and his wife had lost the baby. A month before all that went down. He hadn’t told anyone. Kept it all inside. Look, I get that some people think if they buy a ticket, they’ve got the right to yell whatever abusive shit they want at footballers. But they’re not just footballers. They’re also people. And none of us know what is going on in each other’s lives.”

“Let’s not say goodbye…”

(After a very - very - long hiatus I’m gonna try posting my artwork again, starting with this little tribute to 13’s era)

I've said this already but the extra love in my heart I'm feeling about rebecca and keeley's friendship atm in light of the show making it clear the writers view keeley as bi... what a wonderful depiction of a queer woman's friendship with another woman where her sincere compliments and entirely genuine attraction are in no way some predatory stereotype but are instead one of most significant parts of an arc about rebecca regaining confidence in and love for herself. I love them both very very much.
