The Ninth Doctor Was So Insane Fr He Was Like I Watched My Planet Get Destroyed And I Can't Share This

God I love Rose in Turn Left. She's talking interdimensional science to UNIT, saving the world in a leather jacket. She's really following in Nine's footsteps

this is DIABOLICAL

they are so butch4femme coded. this is girls kissing. this is wlw this is my tragic yuri

Watching the First Doctor for the first time, and it’s wild how different he is at the start. Very “we mustn’t interfere, we’re just observers of history” energy. All stiff coat, no meddling. But then—he fakes a busted fluid link just so they have to explore the city? He’s not above poking the universe when it suits him.

He’s curious, definitely. Almost childishly so. But unless it directly involves Susan being in danger, he’s surprisingly hands-off. Cold, even. It’s like he’s treating the universe as a lab experiment and he’s the guy behind the glass.

What’s interesting is—I always assumed, since he and Susan stole the TARDIS and we know he was kind of a disaster at the Academy, that he was just a bad Time Lord. Like, the rebel from the start. But watching him now? It’s kind of clear he still buys into a lot of their ideals. The whole “we observe, we don’t interfere” mindset? That’s textbook Time Lord. He's not so much a rebel as he is a rule-follower with an itchy curiosity.

And that’s where Barbara and Ian come in. And by extension, Susan—who, let’s be real, is clearly picking up her worldview more from them than from her grandfather.

Barbara and Ian don’t just observe. They care. They intervene. They ask questions like “Why is this happening?” and then go do something about it. They push back when the Doctor tries to stay detached. They hold him accountable.

And the more I watch, the more I think they're why the Doctor changes. They don’t just travel with him—they teach him how to be better.

Which is kind of hilarious when you think about it. All it took to corrupt this ancient, immortal time traveler was two schoolteachers and his granddaughter.

The Doctor: Ever since I lost my dear friend the Master, I’m the last of the Time Lords 😔

The Master: Quit telling everyone I’m dead!

The Doctor: Sometimes I can still hear his voice…

i love the doctor and graham old man bonding moments

This was so cute 😂

The Coward Survives

A re-draw of a piece I did in 2017. This was posted on my Patreon a few weeks ago with a side by side comparison. You can see this plus a bunch of other Ninth Doctor content there if you join!

"Why steam?" she wondered aloud. "Why not something more... modern?" The Doctor did not reply. He was still staring after the ship, tapping a finger against his lips. "Because of this pulse thing, isn't it?" she realised. "No technology works, so they have to use old-fashioned methods like steam and stuff." "Seems likely." "But that means we can't just shut it off, whatever it is." "Seems likely." "I mean, it could be a natural phenomenon, something in the atmosphere or whatever." "Seems likely." "That's not helping." "More than likely." "So what now?" He shrugged. "Dunno really. I think we're probably stuffed."

their banter in the resurrection casket is hilarious, istg. Ten out here carrying blunt Nine energy
