The Rest, As They Say, Is History.

Classic Who // New Who Parallels

Fake dw comic cover of a thirteen+missy team up that I can dream about happening one day

forgot to add these for maximal pain

always reaching out for each other but never at the right time. never with the right face.

IN ANOTHER LIIIIIIIIFE

I WOULD BE YOUR GIRLLLLLLL

(we’d keep all our promises, be us against the world. in another life, i would make you stay.)

“take my hand.” “never!” [twelve takes spymaster’s hand]

“st-” “yes. i’ll stan- i’ll stay, my dear.”

he would’ve driven the sanest of students absolutely bonkers during covid era like imagine being quarantined to your house and your only escape is this man. this one professor who flirts and winks at you. a total SLAG

don’t care much for the drumming bit but the i forgive you healed me 

The drumming. Can’t you hear it? I thought it would stop, but it never does. It never, ever stops. Inside my head. The drumming, Doctor, the constant drumming.

he is me

So like Katy Manning auditioned with contacts and didn't tell anyone how blind she was

But then they made her take them out, presumably because old hard contacts reflected studio lights

and I think, although I'm not 100% sure, that Katy's what really established the trope of the Doctor grabbing a companion's hand to run

and even the Master (gentleman that he was) led Jo by the arm after poor Katy supposedly ran into a tree and knocked herself out

anyway I like to headcanon that Jo was as blind as Katy, keeping her disability a secret so she wouldn't be tossed out of UNIT, but the Doctor just worked with it. He's used to his human friends having various physical limitations, so what's one more or less? He provides a steadying hand when he can, and they manage just fine.

It's part of what the Master finds baffling, although after Jo threw off his mind control he began to understand what the Doctor saw in these creatures despite their obvious deficiencies.

If Martha Jones was in love with me I'd simply return the feelings and not be a bitch.

jo was truly a MATCH for delgado’s master, as far as companions go, she wasn’t having any of it from day one (hers and his)

“I was never very fond of nursery rhymes anyhow.”

the doctor: regenerates and takes a nap 

the brigadier who has been through this multiple times before: i lost my dear friend the doctor.. sometimes i can still hear his voice.
