happy international women’s day!!!!!Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day! We’ll be celebrating all day by reblogging the companions, friends, historical figures, and amazing women that have been featured on Doctor Who and who inspire us. Who are some of the women of Who that inspire you?
donna noble
See, here’s how I would have done Donna’s ‘death’: Donna starts saying, like she does in the show, that she doesn’t want to go back. The Doctor tells her that even without her memories and without him, she can still be a hero and indeed was in the parallel Turn Left verse. The only difference is that he won’t be able to help her, she’ll have to help herself, but he knows she can do it. Bearing that in mind, Donna agrees to the mind wipe.
There we go, still sad, but less icky and nooneisworthanythingwithoutthedoctor-y.
I think this is it.
I think this is my favorite post on tumblr.
that’d totally be their reactions!!!
Argh okay NO. I saw something about this post but I hadn’t seen it but I’m just going to explain this as best I can and wait for the arguments to evolve. Okay.
Clara is LITERALLY speaking born time and time again with the sole purpose of saving The Doctor (Oswin Oswald, Clara Oswin Oswald and the remaining echoes). So there’s that.
I also don’t think that any of them would react even sort of like this, not even Rose who would be, in my opinion, the most likely to react poorly.
Every one of these girls saved The Doctor and every one of them could lay claim to being born to save him. On many occassions, they make jokes about how he is useless without them and what would he do without them etc, so none of them would even be surprised that he’d need a woman to save him because he tries hard to be clever but he’s old and sometimes he doesn’t see things the way a younger companion does.
Besides all of that, Martha would just be glad he found someone to travel with. Martha is super underappreciate not only because she is a BAMF but because she is so calm and easy going and she gets that The Doctor needs a companion. Donna a)doesn’t remember him [sorry it hurts me too] and even if she did, she was nothing but nice and happy when she met Rose and Martha and even invited Martha to travel with them. Amy too wouldn’t react like that because 1. she didn’t want him travelling alone and would be glad Clara was out there helping him and 2. her daughter was born to kill The Doctor.
TLDR: Everyone of them was technically born to save The Doctor because they all save him and without them he’d be a million kinds of dead. But Clara particularly was literally born in dozens of lifetimes with the sole purpose of finding and saving his life. These reactions aren’t even really fitting to their characters.
(Thank you.)
Who the hell is looking at Doctor Who and thinking “You know what we really need here? More girl hate!”
important feminist things
mothersRose: you upset my mum
Elton: great big absorber beast from outer space and you’re upset with me?
Rose: no one upsets my mum.
