Thinking about the Ninth Doctor saying “it was scared” and thinking about the Tenth Doctor saying “but they were leaving” and thinking about the Ninth Doctor not killing a Dalek because it was changing and thinking about “killer or coward?” “coward any day”

#all day every day#also thinking about never cruel or cowardly#also thinking about I do it because it’s right because it’s decent and above all that it’s kind. just kind.

It's too bad that RTD had to go for one more joke in the 'let it go' scene, because it totally distracts the viewer from what is actually happening. It's not that Donna and Rose could let it go because they're women, it's that anyone could let it go and neither the Doctor nor Donna before could see it. This is a constant RTD theme - nobody can willingly give up time and space in favour of mundanity. You have to either be ripped away from it (the other Rose, Donna) or driven away (Martha). So, when Donna first got the metacrisis, she couldn't give it away. She couldn't choose the mundane.

But now she can. And the reason she can (and Rose can too) is that the mundane is valuable to them. They value their mundane lives with each other enough to choose them over infinity.

I do have some respect for what RTD is trying to do with the jokes. He's trying to make the biggest, dumbest, most obvious trans jokes possible so that even the dullest dad in the audience cannot fail to notice that This is a Trans Show Now. RTD is courting controversy on purpose. The jokes got an eyeroll from me, as they would from anyone who has heard a single other pro-trans joke before. But they weren't really for me, and I get that.

I just wish he hadn't put one in the middle of that scene, especially since it had nothing to do with the scene.

#yes thank you!!!! this is what I was saying is like I actually wish they’d dragged out her giving up the meta crisis thing later#like after ep. 3 maybe because she’s choosing to do so#because the mundane is now what makes her happy and she won’t feel like she has something unfinished and waiting for her anymore#better articulated in my brain but you get it lol#dw spoilers

My 1 single critism rn is how they kept refering to the Doctor as Male? Or like implying a weird gender binary in the same breath as talking about non-binary identity

It waw... a bit cringe. Like it was clearly trying very hard and it was a good attempt. But there was something a bit cringe about it yknow. The vibes were not quite there.

The ending especially was giving your parent trying very hard to use the right words, and you appreciate it!! but god you can tell theyre not quite getting it 😭😭

#no for sure#dw spoilers

i never answered this and i'm SO sorry buddy but LITERALLY SOO GOOOOOOOOD LIKE the storytelling??? the way she subtly shifts into the cadence of a victorian poet??? the way it has like TWO bridges??? the variations in her tone and vocal strength or whatever you'd call it?? how she goes from softly mournful to angry daring anguish??? not a single lyrical stumble, everything slots perfectly into place??? its woven together seamlessly like a sweet little tale about two women finding an impossible love in a both physically and emotionally barren landscape and time period. the song itself feels like a spark of warmth in the hearth of a cabin deep in the frozen woods. one of my favorite lines of all time "grieving for the living" like my godddddd the way that so perfectly pinpoints that kind of futile depression and helplessness, grieving the miserable life you've been forced into as if it's already over and you're as good as dead. so many others like the whole visual of the song??? how love is represented by fresh clovers and blooming spring and real, true love is impossible to stop from taking root?? how it slowly encompasses you like ivy up a stone wall until you're completely covered it it?? once a cold unfeeling gray stone and now you're emerald green and alive and vibrant??? and of course the flip side of ivy as a plant which is that it can also be extremely destructive to structures like stone and brick, their roots penetrating into any existing cracks or holes in the grout and expanding until the whole wall, and the case of this song, the whole house of stone comes crumbling down??????? LIKE MY GODD????? WHAT A METAPHOR for how life as a closeted or repressed person feels like you're trapped in a world as cold and impenetrable as a house of stone until the inevitability of who and what you are, as natural and impossible to keep at bay like crawling ivy, finally tears down those walls and frees you. love as powerful as nature itself will always will out.

like idc what she or straight people thinks it's about, that's what it's about to me and it's a KNOCKOUT of a song within that context like WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

#this is the only logical way to view this song this is not up for debate tbh
