I love them y’all
first you're like "the doctor is autistic" and then you're like "weeellllll they are an alien so that could explain their behavior" and then you see how the other time lords act and you loop back to "the doctor is autistic"

Series: Part 2 of Daemon Days Summary:
Why does the Doctor pretend his daemon doesn't exist? They're rarely apart, but it's as if the Watcher's all just that - a title. Observing from afar, only jolting into action when it's strictly necessary. ...Until she isn't anymore.
The wolverine daemon chooses to break her own patterns, and Rose finds confirmation in what she'd already suspected.
"I'm about to have a Joker moment", I say, but the Joker moment in question in this one.
Why does everyone seem to forget that Nine/Rose is the reason for Ten/Rose? I just saw a post about someone who didn't like Ten/Rose being romantic as if it appeared first, as if the reason that Ten/Rose is romantic is because he suddenly changed and fell in love with her. He didn't. Nine loved her first. Nine is the entire reason Ten loves Rose. Nine. Nine was head over heels in love with Rose. Didn't have to mean he was sexually attracted to her because you can be in love without being in lust. RTD pitch for Doctor/Rose was that he was in love with her. Full stop. Love is fantastic, ya'll. The Doctor loved all of his companions in his way. Every single one. Five died in order to keep Peri alive, not that he was in love with Peri but he loved her. You wouldn't sacrifice yourself for someone you didn't care about. There's a reason the Doctor has two hearts. You can't hold as much love as he can with just one.
he's got that sadness about him you only see in catholic stained glass windows
I’m a bit new to this fandom so I’m sure it’s been brought up before-
But one thing that sticks out to me and that I appreciate is the way the Tardis walls for the 9th and 10th Doctors look similar to the Daleks. And I think this is a really cool choice (that I think is intentional) that shows just how traumatized, depressed, and angry they are as a result of the Time War and their extreme loneliness.
I know the roundels aren’t exactly new to Tardis walls, but the exact spacing, color scheme, lighting, and the way they are segmented is uncanny. And even the center console from the top down looks a lot like the Dalek’s camera with the ringed disks surrounding the tube.
Welcome! Huge Ninth Doctor nerd, as you can probably tell. he/they. Do a lotta Doc Who writing over on Ao3 under the name Artron :3c
