YOU EVIL SON OF A BITCH

in which the Doctor is very heterosexual
This is one of the reasons why I love Doctor Who, they really just do not give a shit about sexuality. In series 1 episode 2 a fucking tree woman fancied the Doctor. They’ve had lesbians, lesbian lizard women, gays, interspecies relationships, Jack, a transgender horse and so much more. If there were such a thing as a LGBT safe show it’s Doctor Who.
And I think the best part of it is that they don’t go overboard trying to emphasize it. A lot of shows that have lesbian, gay, bi, trans, or any other orientated couple/character kind of throw it in your face like lOoK WOw GaY iS OkaY, LOoK hoW LGBT-FRieNdLY wE ArE, but with Doctor Who they just have some random people doing what they have to do and being bad ass and then somewhere along the way you find out their sexual preferences but they don’t make a big deal out of it.

No! Please, don’t!
#every acting award ever #i know a lot of people criticise ten for being whiny and difficult and bratty in this scene #i feel that those who do have pretty much completely missed the entire arc of ten’s character development #of all the new!who doctors he is the most painfully perfectly HUMAN incarnation #nine is the battle-weary scarred alien destroyer of civilisations. #eleven is a dorky alien dude with a penchant for hats and a dark streak the size of an oncoming storm. #not that ten doesn’t have his alien or oncoming storm aspects. he does. but predominantly he is HUMAN. #he was born from sacrificing himself as nine to save rose. he was born BECAUSE of her.#throughout his entire story arc ten delights in humanity. so many times he WANTS to be human. to take that slow path with rose. #at one point he even IS human in the family of blood storyline. #and he is TERRIFIED - as we all would be - of disappearing. of course as a timelord he doesn’t die. #but HE - as ten. as the man who loved rose and martha and donna. - HE won’t exist anymore #of course he rails against it like any human would. he wants to cling on to life. the life he knows. his identity. his humanity. #and this is his reward? oh baby. #so he rants and raves and is sadly startlingly painfully human. and then that last gif. #he pulls himself back. he KNOWS he’s being whiny. he knows that in the bigger scheme of things he still lives.#so he gets on with it. he was born for rose and now he dies for wilf. #he dies for wilf and he dies for DONNA. he’s giving her her granddad back. #and this is why i love ten. always and forever.(via virginiachance)
Do not go gentle into that good night.

#Do you think when Ten was standing here looking at her #Part of his enormous Time Lord brain was cataloguing #All the things he would be willing to give up #To trade places with his metacrisis self? (gallifreyburning)
Stop
#The rest of his enormous Time Lord brain is cataloguing#her smile #her eyes #the way she turns from and to and from him again like she’s already in love #every tiny movement she makes and every breath #every sound she makes #when her voice catches and when it gives #and the sound of her footsteps walking away from him and toward him all at once. #Because this is his last chance to see her. #Ever. #And even if he were to see her again #it wouldn’t be the same #not in a new body #not with a new him. #so he catalogues every bit of her he can see or hear or feel or sense. #Because she’s the reason he was made the way he was and lived the life he did. #She’s the reason he loved so hard and lost so much. #He doesn’t want to go - he doesn’t want to lose the part of him that is HER. (via lastofthetimeladies)
i hate all of you
#at least he can take comfort that his clone is living a long and happy life with her #but it still hurts too much that it couldn’t be him instead #sleeping and waking to the same face #spending the days together #the nights together #facing life’s troubles like their old adventures #loving one another through thick and thin #he’s so jealous of himself #jealous of humanity #jealous of life #of breathing the same air #of growing old and having children #of being with the woman he loves #of living #because now he has to face eternity without her #now he truly is alone #and he will never be the same again.

Also known as the scene where Moffat forgot he was writing Doctor Who and not Sherlock.
Accurate comment is accurate.
