sometimes, i need to learn to unlearn everything about you. i really dont need to be walking around, looking at things only to be reminded that maybe once, you would have loved it but now, not even your ghost lingers around
It’s so bizarre that I’m pretty much sat here waiting to see if Graham or Ryan are going to die tonight like is Chibs prepared to break my heart like this? Probably.
Happy New Year everyone! Here’s to a happier (and hopefully much healthier) 2021. Sending you all love and ofc Happy Revolution of the Daleks Day as well
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.
I’m trying to pretend the fam isn’t about to be broken up but we gotta talk about it at some point…
What’s everyone’s theories on how Ryan and Graham are leaving the show? I’m kinda scared that Chibs is going to break our hearts and kill one (or both) of them off, although I would still love to see what Thirteen is like dealing with a loss like that.
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
i’ve been reflecting on the paranoia i’ve felt thats just been increasing ever since the pandemic started, both for getting covid and also being randomly attacked on the street for being asian. i have always been aware of how being asian could result in subtle acts of discrimination against me - maybe i dont get hired for something, or someone doesn’t take my leadership ability seriously - so i tried really hard to succeed academically and professionally. i have always felt that i could prove my capabilities on paper, so that nobody could deny me an opportunity. but having a law degree is not super helpful when you’re getting punched…
sorry, i want to clarify that i haven’t been physically attacked. i wrote this pretty late last night without really reading it over again and i can see how the last sentence could have led people to believe that i was reflecting on a personal experience. i was writing about this incident that happened on monday in new york and how scared its made me feel. ive been verbally harassed on the street for being asian/”causing covid” but ive been fortunate to not have experienced violence. im really sorry for the confusion.
