#op did you have to go this hard
david tennant as the doctor was such an experience. always smiling but with something so deeply incurably sad in his eyes. you think he’s a soundly good person with all he says and does but then you realise that goodness is a thin veneer holding back this tidal wave of grief and apathy and unending loss for his long, long life that (in hindsight) he’s constantly leaching into the air around him, if you know where to look. it took him a few bad days to more or less reach a god complex and you’re unsure if he’s even wrong for thinking so. all that and he still pranced around like bambi in the fucking forest
