That’s what interests me about The Doctor because, actually, look at the blood on the man’s hands. 900 years, countless very selfish choices, and he’s literally blown planets up. His own race, you know, that’s all on his hands. Which is why I think he has to make silly jokes and wear a fez. Because if he didn’t, he’d hang himself. - Matt Smith
#trickster archetype transmogrified into a bringer of death #when systems fall apart and rules turn corrupt #he chaos monger can bring change #and he takes that upon himself with all the hubris of the last of the time lords #alien and fey and dangerous in his whimsy; that’s my doctor (via okayophelia)
- 1st Doctor: I know exactly what's going on, silly humans! *-in head- I have absolutely no idea what the hell is happening omg Chesterton save us all*
- 2nd Doctor: *Clinging with Jamie*
- 3rd Doctor: Of course I know what's going on. It's the Master. It's always the Master. It might look like something else now, but trust me: it's the Master. *goes to sulk in broken TARDIS*
- 4th Doctor: I think that I know what is going on, though not necessarily in that order.
- 5th Doctor: Dammit Adric
- 6th Doctor: I know exactly what's going on! I am the Doctor! I am perfection! Also, I have a wonderful dress sense.
- 7th Doctor: I would tell you what is going on, but my plan is to keep you in the dark so I can later on turn the situation dramatically by playing out everyone's lack of knowledge.
- 8th Doctor: I don't know what's going on or who I am, but I do know that these shoes fit perfectly!
- 9th Doctor: I'm might not be sure exactly what's going on, but I'm damn sure I can handle it.
- 10th Doctor: Here are a few theories as toward what's happening; I'm sure we'll figure it all out.
- 11th Doctor: I pretty much know what's going on but I probably wont tell you till the last minute.
I always liked to watch how the Doctor changed
how to change his eyes, it’s sad, but they gain something meaningful
wouldn’t it be just the biggest plot twist in the world if the doctor regenerated into 12 and turned out looking like the master
there was never another timelord that survived the war, it’s always been just him and that drove him insane.
WAIT OH AND THAT’S WHEN THE SHOW FRICKIN’ ENDS BECAUSE THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 12 REGENERATIONS SO THERE WOULD BE NO 13TH DOCTOR BECAUSE THE MASTER REFUSED TO REGENERATE FOR THE LAST TIME OH MY GOD
I’m obsessed with this vidder’s timing. She has a youtube page, and every single one of her videos is just so incredibly well-timed. This vid shows that off, I think.
Yet another Doctor Who vid exploring themes of the show. I love the progression and evolution of his running; how it starts out as running away from an unknown enemy, how in doing so he becomes this feared and mythological shadow, how that shadow becomes something to run away from and so he starts running away from himself (erasing himself from databases and archives to become anonymous again). But, as we learn at Trenzalore, you can’t outrun yourself. Love it.
Oh, is that who you think you are? The one he trusts? The only girl in the universe to whom the Doctor tells everything? So what’s his name?
Imagine you were dying. Imagine you were afraid and a long way from home in terrible pain. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, you looked up and saw the face of the Devil himself.
