can we please talk about this
# 1998 is a hard year for jackie # even working two jobs money is tight # (especially with rose’s gymnastic lessons # but rose loves them and jackie will sell her own kidneys to ensure she can keep attending) # and christmas is just around the corner # she looks over her books and feels ill: # she simply can’t afford to get rose any proper gift this year # and it breaks her heart # because rose is so excited # she loves christmas # keeps saying how she hopes it’ll snow this year # proper like # and christmas eve jackie is up late # worrying and hating how disappointed rose is gonna be come morning # when she wakes up to see the floor is almost empty beneath the tree # and that’s when there’s a knock at the door # she opens it # (with a baseball bat at the ready – it’s late on the estate after all) # and there’s no one there # just a red child-sized bike # with a note attached # ‘she’s gonna be fantastic’ it reads in messy loopy handwriting # ‘merry christmas’ # and normally she’d be worried about weirdos and stalkers but tonight # tonight it’s christmas eve and jackie tyler knows when not to look a gift horse in the mouth # so she hauls it inside quiet as she can # and the next morning when she’s awoken by the sound of rose crashing her new bike # into the hallway mirror # shrieking in delight the entire time # she takes a moment to say a silent thank you (via)
and now I’m crying
#oh my god#what if he just got that idea like right then#and said it to her#and then went and did it#and since their timelines aren’t parallel there’s no paradox (x)
I love imagining the classic Doctors partaking in modern phenomena, because there is honestly no reason beyond the metatextual ones why it couldn’t happen. The Doctor has been known to enjoy pop culture, and can time travel, so there’s no reason why you wouldn’t find Three taking selfies, Two playing video games, or Four enjoying godforsaken memes.
I’m sorry but Four is not only a memer but a hardcore shitposter, and Six is probably on reddit.
how dare you suggest that six would spend any time on reddit.
If the Sixth Doctor is not a redditor I will eat my foot. Don’t tell me he doesn’t spend all day on there looking at cat pics.
we have v. different definitions of “redditor”. he deffo doesn’t go aroudn talking about “narwhals baconing” or shit like that. he probably avoids the comments like a plague because he knows that if he sees ignorant comments he’ll spend all day correcting them.
See, I think that sometimes he’d go into the comments specifically because he wants the opportunity to graciously enlighten some benighted troglodyte on the error of their ways. Prime
targetsbeneficiaries of his wisdom would include MRAs, science denialists, and people who refuse to recognize the difference between “its” and “it’s.”i think pre-evelyn Six would deffo be a compulsive Internet Corrector. Post-Evelyn he’d have learned that the habit wasn’t good for him.
