I’m starting a collection. Idk what the aesthetic is. Blorbocore
No, no.
The aesthetic is Jack Harkness
I think if you undervalue the Jack/Gwen relationship, you’re missing out on a lot of what makes Jack compelling as a character. It’s supposed to be a version of the Doctor/companion relationship, and Gwen’s stated purpose on the team is to remind Jack how to be human. The way that Jack can bring Gwen in to something that ruins her life and still be so fond and so caring and so close to her while he does that is part of the point.
Ohhhh you know what I hate what is breaking my heart every time
He knew at this point
Doctor knew here that he’ll have to erase Donna’s memory here
He doesn’t say anything about it, he lets her talk, just listens to her rumbling about everything and just smiles just enjoys every second of it because he KNOW this is the last moments like this that he can have with her
And he’s just admiring her
Yeah I just rewatched this episode again and cried ugly because I’m mentally ill why
MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR BROKEN. GO LISTEN TO THE BIG FINISH TORCHWOOD AUDIO DRAMA ‘BROKEN’ FIRST.
That last scene from Jack’s point of view. - 2,041 words
Read it on ao3.
A/N unbeta’d because i know no-one in the torchwood fandom now lol
Jack looked down at his watch and let out a deep sigh. It had been ten minutes. “Time’s up,” he murmured, turning over the engine.
a moment of silence for all those poor janto fans who have never listened to ‘The Dead Line’, ‘The House of the Dead’ or ‘Broken’ …
you poor poor souls
I’m destroying myself with all of these parallels that I keep on thinking up between Janto and Malec. I don’t need to cry, please. Some are cute but most are angsty Q.Q
Rose, rushing into the room: It’s terrible, just terrible! I am so upset!
Jack: Rose, sit down! Tell us all about it. Doctor, would you get Rose some water?
Ten: What is she gonna do with water? Has water ever made you feel better when you were upset? Have you ever heard anyone say, “Thank God, the water’s here!”?
LOOK AT THEM OMFGGGGG
The no-spoiler reviews so far of Revolution of the Daleks look really promising. A lot of them mention how Jack acts a lot like a reference back to the past and how this is something that die-hard fans will like so I’m definitely hyped to see what gets brought up. Maybe a mention of Ten’s companions, maybe some Torchwood? It will definitely be interesting to see.
Also seeing what they say about how Yaz is given time to shine in this episode is everything. This is exactly what I’ve wanted from her for so long and it sounds like Chibnall is starting to establish what we can expect for her character in Series 13 so I have a lot of hope and am looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Not long now everyone
Omfg I love everything about this. The character development that I’m here for
Although I’m convinced this “spark” is between Yaz and Jack (and I would assume it’s not a romantic one, but more to do with their banter together), I’m still rooting for Jack and Graham to run off together it would be the best
I made this as a thread on my twitter (@raggedyjodie) but tumblr is where I do most of my doctor who stanning and it doesn’t have a word limit so I figured I’d go into more detail with my thoughts on the BBC Press release for Revolution of the Daleks because there’s a lot to discuss.
I’ve said this already but this just makes so much sense and I’m glad that they are singling out Yaz’s loyalty to The Doctor because I love that about her character. We’ve seen it time and time again how much she loves travelling through time and space and there’s so many hints about how deeply she feels for Thirteen and how she would do anything to protect her, it just hasn’t been explored properly yet. I really hope that now the tardis team isn’t going to be so big there will be time to properly develop their relationship because Chibnall has already given them SO much potential as just the two of them and they could end up being one of the strongest pairings on the show.
I am genuinely going to miss the dynamic of the fam together, especially the relationship between Graham and Ryan because I love how their bond was built up in s11. I do think that their story is over though and it doesn’t look like their relationship as a team or with the The Doctor in particular is going to be built up much further so it’s definitely time for a refresh. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Yaz and The Doctor as a duo
I’m undecided about what they’re going to do with Graham and Ryan’s departure and whether or not they’ll kill one (or both) of them off. It would definitely be amazing to see the emotional impact of that even though it’ll break my heart
I’m ngl part of me kinda hopes that if one of them dies it’s Graham because although he has my whole heart and I want nothing but happiness for him, I don’t think that I can cope seeing him lose another person he loves
I would love to see Jackham thrive but I reckon this dynamic will be between Yaz and Jack and I’m kinda hyped because obviously Jack is important to The Doctor and Yaz is going to be the main companion, so the relationship between the two of them will mean more than if it was with Ryan and Graham and I already love how she sees right through his charm
Using Jack to set the tone for Yaz as someone who is big hearted and loving is a great idea and a brilliant way to establish why she is the one to stay on.
I also feel like it says so much that it’s Yaz and Jack that will go out of their way to rescue The Doctor whilst Ryan and Graham do their own thing with protecting the planet (at least that’s what it looks like to me but I might be wrong??). Like it wouldn’t sit right with me if it were the other way round since it would be out of character for Yaz to just forget about The Doctor and move on and then just hop on the TARDIS again when she returns.
Basically, this could all be great character development and I’m so excited for it
