“From what I’ve seen, your funny little happy-go-lucky little life leaves devastation in its wake. Always moving on because you dare not look back. Playing with so many people’s lives, you might as well be a god. And you’re right, Doctor. You’re absolutely right. Sometimes… you let one go.”

#ahhh #you see this is my dark doctor #not eleven who is afraid of his capacity for darkness and the sucking; tidal loneliness within him that could swallow worlds #not ten whose darkness was all rage and mania—the cold-burning anger that condemned the family of blood or threatened to rip time #because he was Time Lord Victorious and it was his right #but nine #glorious nine #who is so comfortable with dealing out death that he thinks nothing of it; you cannot flinch from what you are #nine can smile and lightly talk about sparing one life; maybe two; because the dead of the time war slide off the scale and what is one more #world compared to that? #he is so steeped in horror it has become mundane for him (the first horror is the horror; the second is accepting it) #nine who emerged from the Time War the only colossus in a universe of ants #but rather than choosing to crush them beneath his heel because what is one more world? #he happens to be kind #because if you happen to be kind enough; if you choose not to step and snuff out their tiny lives enough times #maybe you can work your way back to being a good man #a fool’s errand #but a good fool #doctor who (notbecauseofvictories)

In short, don’t skip nine.

Nine is my favorite. The others are nice, but this guy was genuinely fascinating to me.

Nine is utterly fantastic. He’s just so…much. Ten and Eleven were more human. Nine…

Nine is… everything i wanted from the series. everything I loved about it. Ten is… lovable and inescapable, but eleven… eleven just makes me sick. twelve is worse. and to be honest, I stopped watching as soon as eleven took the stage. I’m glad I did. 

Because in all honesty I don’t think the writers have nearly as much respect for the character, for the experiences and the weight of what happened. Nine did. Nine is my Doctor.
