Alignment chart except it's only the Tenth Doctor

Thinking about how the creature in "Midnight" targeted the Doctor not because he's the smartest or most dangerous, like he assumed, but because it identified him as the Different one, the only non-human in the group, and therefore he was the most vulnerable one. The one everyone was most likely to turn on, and the creature could take advantage of the humans urge to weed out anything different, anything they might PERCIEVE as a threat

rewatched Last of the Time Lords

every day i think of the light progressively abandoning the doctor's eyes in season four

DOCTOR WHO THE CHRISTMAS INVASION

what actually rocks my shit with the moment ten finally hears the four knocks and realizes he's going to die anyway isn't just the look in his eyes - because bro, that was some damn good acting. no, it's also, mostly the fact that it's not just because he's going to die that he feels so sick. it's also because he realizes he has been on his guard, and paranoid for so long, and that in the end, nobody was out there to kill him. he's been paranoid over nothing. it made him act out of fear and do terrible stuff just to convince himself he could do anything including surviving, and that look in his eyes when he solves his case is one that says "it's always been you or them. it will always be you or them":

nine had to sacrifice his life to save rose's and then ten his happiness for hers.

donna begged him to let her stay but he couldn't bear to watch her die so he did something selfish and erased her memories against her will - not really just to protect her, but to protect himself from the pain and grief of losing her.

not that that's how he sees it. in his mind he probably thinks he did it for her.

then in waters of mars he comes back and saves three people who were supposed to die and someone knocks three times and he probably likes to think he's the one who averted a fourth one - because it would entail that he can do it: save himself and save them.

then it all comes crashing down that he can't when adelaide brooke offs herself - it's either him or them and it will always be them.

there he goes, last two episodes, resigned to his fate: he will confront the master and the drumming and die to save everyone.

but he survives.

and for a moment, everything shifts. maybe he can be happy. maybe he can find a way to bring donna's memories back without killing her. maybe he will see rose again.

finally, wilfred knocks, and it's the cruelest reminder - it will always be you or them. it will always be them.

another one because I was feeling a little silly today

this is probably an unpopular opinion but I think interpreting the doctor as passively evil is an interesting character experiment. like, by human standards they’re pretty much an immortal, ancient, godlike entity. they travel all of time and space, saving or destroying entire civilizations on a whim. they travel with humans because they’re obsessed, almost addicted, to human mortality and naivety. sure, they claim to love their companions, but involvement in their lives almost always ends in misery, and then it’s onto the next. imagine the TARDIS filled with abandoned bedrooms, clothes on the floor, beds unmade, toothpaste in the sink. their things frozen in time, dust-covered and tomblike. and the doctor is drifting through space, surrounded by evidence of all the lives they’ve ruined. anyway, if anyone has evil doctor fic recommendations pls drop them below.

something something ten was rarely wearing less than three layers representing his being very closed off and scared of vulnerability, while fourteen sheds his coat early on and has rolled up sleeves most of the time to parallel his being far more comfortable with his emotions and the vulnerability that comes with it or something idk

i enjoy looking at promotional photos of the Tenth Doctor in series 2 and 4 side by side because you can clearly see the changes he goes through. from joyful and optimistic to sorrowful and arrogant, hardened by all the loses he has suffered. it's a brilliant visual representation of his character arc

DOCTOR WHO | 4.14

the actual causes of ten's regeneration are probably the best it's ever been, because the stakes are... one person. one person's life. not the whole world; not a whole people; not a whole country. not even a companion. just one guy that the doctor happens to like. he doesn't even have to give up his life. wilf could die and he could just walk away. but he can't. because he's the doctor, and his reign of terror ends with the sight of the first crying child. it's also good because ten fully deserves to be kicked down the stairs repeatedly

Depeche Mode Interview

1988 - RTBF (Belgian TV)

Disclaimer: I’m not an astrology buff, but I feel like their answers perfectly encompass their horoscope signs:

Andy (Cancer): Avoid drama, just say yourself

Alan (Gemini): Is polite and gives a dignified answer, but can’t help the subtle head-shake as he thinks “what a juvenile question”

Martin (Leo): Loyalty to his bestie, but in order not to offend the other two explains his reasoning and then cracks a joke to lighten the mood

Dave (Taurus): Uncomfortable giving an answer, jokes about spilling the drama to deflect for a second…but in the heat of the moment wants to answer honestly. Then his brain finally catches up and he realizes “no wait, I love Martin and Andy too” and rambles on about how they’re all buddies

If you persevere, in time you will have an entirely different problem – not that life is meaningless, but rather that life has almost too much meaning. As the scales fall from your eyes the world rushes into focus, presenting itself with a kind of vibrational eloquence that can, at first, be almost overwhelming. Everything shimmers, everything clarifies, everything wrestles for your attention. Trees feel super-real, their roots plunged into the earth, their branches stretching to the sky, birds are flesh and blood souls, fragile with life, the sky unfolds and rolls, the ocean crashes, people fascinate, books are beautiful, children are whirling dynamos of chaos, dogs bark and cats meow, flowers shout, your neighbour glows, and God runs like a helix through all things. The world awaits you, humming with meaning. You are alive with potential. You are not dead.
