I feel very conflicted about doctor who right now. on one hand I’m very excited for Ncuti- he looks like he’s going to be absolutely fantastic. But Russell T Davies has made some choices which have made me feel… dismissed (I think that’s the best word) as a queer person and as a woman.

I don’t think he properly understood the significance of the thirteenth doctor’s costume. How it was created to be neither a man nor a woman’s costume, but to be the Doctor’s costume- the Doctor, an alien character who does not play by the binary bullshit, inherently genderfluid and queer.

I’m puzzled, too, that there was no mention of Yaz and her close relationship with the Doctor. Along with the episodes, there’s plenty interviews and extended media out there which confirm and solidify the canon nature of their feelings for each other. There’s plenty more evidence of the positive impact on queer people watching to see themselves represented like that.

You know, I read Samantha Shannon books and still feel surprised that there’s sapphic relationships when of course there is- they’re Samantha Shannon books! I still don’t expect them. That’s how much it meant for me to see that played out in a 60-year-old show (and I know it wasn't perfect but I do believe it was done in good faith with care and authenticity).

I understand there are different interpretations, reasons you could come up with for the inclusion of some things and the exclusion of others. I also understand that perhaps being dismissive wasn’t RTD’s intention- I’m not trying to vilify, and look, you might read this and think I’m an overly emotional thirteenth doctor ‘stan’ who just hates change (a judgemental viewpoint which I really think should be questioned at every turn, and honestly, I believe has trickled down from misogynistic roots)- I’m not. I’m just a lesbian who felt seen and represented in the previous era. What I can take comfort in is that it did happen.

RTD can do as he likes, it’s ‘his’ show now, but honestly, the sooner Doctor Who gets a showrunner who’s not a cis, white male the better in my eyes.

Regarding RTD's "understanding" of the significance of 13's outfit...tbh the man could look me in the eye and tell me he understands and respects its significance, and I wouldn't believe him. His explanation for not having David in the outfit was utter bullshit and quite possibly a lie he thought would gain him favor with certain members of the LGBTQ+ community.

And as for the 13 and Yaz erasure, whether it was him acting on his own or if he was following instructions from above (BBC, Disney, etc.), I very much believe it was a deliberate attempt to get the audience to move on and forget them.

And hey, if events prove me wrong, I will gladly come back on here, eat my words, and apologize. But don't hold your breath.

US lone dissenter in all of these UN votes is obvious and unsurprising but also still so fucking wild… literally the only purpose of the UN at this point is to demonstrate how wildly extreme the US is in its thirst for war, standing completely and utterly alone against the entire rest of the planet. this crumbling husk of empire needs to fucking fall

Rose gets her own Doctor. Donna gets her own Doctor. Martha gets a lifetime of PTSD and a t-shirt that says 'I walked the world for the Doctor and I didn't get so much as a lousy t-shirt'.

[ahintofpanic13]

So we can repeatedly bring up the Flux and Timeless Child, but you’re going to list all of the Doctor’s significant relationships and not mention the one from 3 episodes ago? Fuck that.

All it would have taken for me to be able accept this as a bittersweet but still beautifully continuation of thirteen’s journey would have been one mention of the most significant person in her life over the last century. Instead I feel like the RTD and Moffat stans got acknowledgement and closure and we got slapped across the face.

Here's an article about it from the new Yorker

The judge was a Reagan appointee lmao

1. The person who twerked in court was Richard Montez, co-owner of 360 Queen Entertainment (a business that organises drag performances).

2. The New Yorker article is a really good read.

3. I'm in love with this picture from said New Yorker article. Dude on the left is a Big Mood.

honestly good for him? he didn't know what he was supposed to be ruling on, so he asked for a demonstration, and the demonstration convinced him it was art. good on him for being willing to accept new data
