Jodie Whittaker is a marvel. Just. The energy of her. Like she’s going to jump from the screen any moment because it can’t possibly contain all of her. I’m in love.
The Doctor assembling her screwdriver. Actual magic on every level.
Yaz calling out “Doctor!” before pointing out that the Doctor should probably change her clothes. (I’m not sure why that scene got me in particular, something about the tone of voice? But just the fact that the “Doctor!” is Jodie Whittaker gave me chills).
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE SHE SHOPPED FOR WOMEN’S CLOTHES!
Those final moments – it was so obvious what was going to happen, but oh my god it was glorious. And it looked gorgeous!
So every once in a while I find myself trying to perfect my categorization of the Doctor’s different personality types. Because although my brain definitely groups them together in certain ways, it’s not quite sure why it does so. But now that we’ve seen Twelve’s arc, I think I’ve finally got it:
The Flippant Renegade
These Doctors don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. They live free and dress sloppy. If they play the fool, it’s as a protest to show how little respect they have for their enemies or the situation that they’re in. They do fight for things on occasion but oftentimes are more concerned with rebelling against. They’re the most anti-authoritarian Doctors and have the strongest individualist streaks.
The Devious Trickster
These Doctors are always working on multiple levels. They’re prone to clowning to keep their enemies off-base. They lie a lot and keep things close to the chest. There’s always a distance there. They’re also the most professorial, with the biggest interest in knowledge and teaching. While they have a strong sense of right and wrong, they’re very pragmatic about how they achieve their goals. These are the ones most capable of genocide.
The Arrogant Moralist
These Doctors think that they’re always right all the time. They have very high standards for everyone else. Anyone who falls below their standards they treat with disdain, but anyone who meets their standards, they adore. They’re the most self-impressed and also the most concerned with their own appearance and image. They tend the most toward hypocrisy.
The Humane Tourist
These Doctors aren’t looking for trouble. They’re not showy. They’re leisurely. Their dress is subdued but distinctive. They’re less concerned with morality and more concerned with mercy. They’re also the most interested in other people and their lives. They’re the most collaborative Doctors, oftentimes looking for input from others on how to proceed.
…You know, looking at it now, it’s entirely possible I may have just sorted them into Hogwarts houses, but I’m gonna try not to think about that too much.
showing Thirteen suddenly having pierced ears by the time she gets her new clothes has deprived us of a deleted scene that’s just her spending 4 hours at Claire’s.
the doctor would have more sense than to get her ears pierced at claire’s. probably.
pierced the ears of an eons-old entity of time and space at claire’s
Equally softly, the Doctor replies, “Yeah,” and in no possible state in this conversation does he say, You’re
here because I shoved Cassiopeia into the Maw in your place, because I
happened to like your insignificant little planet.
