AU - The times we had, eh? Would’ve had. Never had.
└Rose comes back and the Doctor takes her on adventures again.
“You’ll see, you’ll see.”
Steven, I heart you and your sass. And your beard.
Oh, Steven, you wonderful space pilot.
[AGGRESSIVELY DOESN’T WANT TO KNOW THE DOCTOR’S NAME]
It’s not even that I don’t want to know it
It’s that I don’t think Steven Moffat has the right to name him
oh my god yes
that’s it
that statement is why I’m so angry
Why can’t he just be named The Doctor? That’s as much a name as anything else.
(also I like to think his name is Rumpelstiltskin.)
^ THIS
First of all, “the Doctor” is what he wants to be called, ergo it is his name
Second of all, out of every writer who has ever worked on the show, why should Moffat be the one who gets to make this decision (on the other hand, Moffat has made every effort possible to prove that the show is His Now, so I really wouldn’t put it past him)
Third of all, what does that say if Moffat decides that a “legal” “birth” name which is recorded only in the archives of a planet that no longer exists, a “name” which hasn’t been used in centuries, is more “real” than the name an individual actually is and wants to be called by
what does that say to trans* folks
what does that say to people who’ve changes their names for other reasons
what does that say to anyone who, for whatever reason, has changed their name, or prefers to go by a name other than what is on their government papers, or uses different names in different contexts
I just… wow Moffat you’re a terrible person
#moffat naming the doctor is basically him pissing on the show to mark his territory (via starsarewild)
