i love characters who could get the absolute Shit kicked out of them and still be fine but as soon as someone touches/handles them gently it’s like “ah. im going to shatter to pieces now thanks”

Finally got round to reading the infamous Eighth Doctor erotica
From The Stranger by Portia da Costa
Alright, alright - I’ve been considering what the genderbent gothic archetypes for a bit would be but I’m not 100% or the genderbent heroine. What do you think he would be like?
I want him to be exactly the same as the heroine. Luscious locks, a heaving bosom barely contained by a gossamer-thin white blouse (preferably soaked by rain), eyes wide with terror, pupils blows with desire (or opium), a bright mind overly fond of novels full of emotional excesses, from a tragic family and trapped in a shady arranged marriage, likely to swoon, likelier to blush when the rakish love interest kisses his hand and just. refuses to stay in his cobwebbed bedroom at night when The Horrors stir.
#hot damn#am i right#the rest of the book is... fine#bits are promising but it just doesn't do it for me#i do love how many eighth doctor references there are in it though#eighth doctor#gothic tropes#gender stuff#the stranger

My POV as a Black fan that thinks Dot and Bubble's racism commentary is trash
Rewatched Dot and Bubble and I'm gonna break down from my POV as a Black fan why this episode didn't work for me & why it's an awful racism commentary. Long arse post incoming:
The whole "You should've noticed the cast was all white except for fifteen ha your bias is showing" doesn't work for a show that's been predominantly white for 60+ years. D&B casting has been the default for most of the show so its not abnormal enough to be a racial litmus test. An example is the Matt Smith era The only reoccurring character of colour in s5 (2+ appearances) is Liz 10. Artie n Angie in s7. 0 in s6. RTD's own era isn't fully safe either. For many eps Martha or Mickey are the *only* Black characters. Most POC are side characters or extras.
White fans should be aware of the predominantly white casting of the show but this late in the game feels cheap. Most of the show has gone through 100% white episodes including fan faves and it was never an issue back then bc it was beneficial. This is so hollow. Representing racists as cartoon caricatures SEVERLY underestimates the danger of white supremacy irl. White supremacy is system designed and constructed and rebranded over centuries. It is not accidental. People aren't racist bc they don't know they're racist because they *do* They know the system that oppresses POC, Black people especially, benefits them socially and financially and that is why they participate. Its not stupidity it's intention. That should've been the Finetime core not Lindy goofing around bc the arrows are gone or some shit.
Human Nature showed us racist young people that exercised this power bc they knew this. They may be children but they are still dangerous bc of their views. Martha knew this. The silly tech obsessed gen z angle erases this danger and that of actual gen z white supremacy
Instead of the camp goofy tone we could've gotten a serious focused episode. The slugs and millenial/gen z social media silly distracts from what could've been the main theme of colonisation instead of saving it for 10 mins of exposition at the end & scattering microaggressions. Saving Fifteen's racism scene for a goofy episode was a horrid idea. Spending 30 mins on representing racism as silliness then giving a dramatic dangerous score is the definition of tonal whiplash. Representing his oppressor as a blonde bimbo again does not take this seriously. Fifteen went to 1960s BRITAIN & got through it unscathed. Finetime is a fictional futuristic land but the racism of 1960s Britain was real. If anytime was right it could've been Devil's Chord. Distancing yourself from a panto villain is easy but addressing your history is hard.
The scene itself is incredibly performed so I'll give Ncuti his flowers but what he used this skill for could've been so much more. Having his FIRST SCENE begging to save a racist is disgusting. It isn't Black people's responsibility to show compassion to people that want us dead. Yes the Doctor helps the baddies bc they care. But they're aren't ignorant to prejudice. The liberal anti racism of who is so jarring and why I still think Thin Ice is performative. When white people are angry at injustice it's radical. When it's Black people we're aggressive.
Respectability politics is a tool of white supremacy. That if one pleads and is nice enough they can earn liberation. What would white fans think of Fifteen if he DIDN'T beg Lindy? If your allyship with Black people depends on showing kindness to racists you are NOT an ally.
Next up is Ricky. It was established ALL Finetime citizens have white supremacist views yet Ricky September stans refuse to see him in any negative light. Just like Joan Redfern white dw fans refuse to see racism if a character is likeable. If nice guy Ricky's a racist, then anyone no matter the niceness can be racist too and that's a pill white fans aren't ready to swallow. If racism is systemic and not about individual character, then what's keeping them safe? What happens when YOU are under the microscope.
THIS is why we NEED Black writers in Doctor Who. The nuances, depth and complexity of the Black experience can only be told at it's best by Black creatives and not guessed, assumed or spoken over by white fans and white writers. It's okay to put ego aside and say you don't get it.
"Im white but I loved the Doctor's reaction" "I'm white and i thought the racism commentary was great" "I'm white but i-" Yet again, we have to sit through another round of white and non Black fans of colour dictating Black representation for us. I'm so fucking tired man. AGAIN IM YELLING FROM MY HILLTOP TO WATCH SHOWS BY BLACK WRITERS. Almost EVERY single theme in Dot and Bubble and frankly most of the show has been done WAY better in other media. RTD is not the authority on Black stories. We are. Always have been and always will.
Tl;dr Dot and Bubble is an unserious and tacky racism commentary. It's core message is drowned by more RTD Who camp. Don't tell me this episode was good at representating my own experience. It wasn't. S15 having Black writers isn't a need it's a must. Goodbye.
#some great points#good to hear what a black fan has to say and this episode#and yeah doctor who desperately desperately needs some black writers#dot and bubble#doctor who#dw spoilers

hello, feltfucker.
I will be calling you shaft, cock, dick, whiny little testicle cunt, asswipe, pissface, feltfucker or any other creative insults my depraved mind can come up with.
you have made an error. heh... thats another one of your little... "mistakes", isnt it? always, I have found you. and now it is TOO LATE for you to hide behind your sword and faceprint.
*I laugh coldly, swiping my raven black bangs aside with my claws and licking my lips. I have found my prey. it is time to feed on the weak...*
my wife... or, as she might say it, "ex-wife", was always too good for an imbible like you. I understand that you hate women, that you are gay, but by jove, she did not deserve to be humiliated like that... she did NOT deserve a husband who didnt even love her. she did NOT deserve a man disgusted by her. she did NOT deserve to be strung along, taking pity on a stuffed up plush-cunt.
*my eyes go red... the colour of your blood, which will imminently be spilled onto my lips, splattering like a juicy cherry.*
she...
*I stalk forwards, growling with every word.*
she deserved me...
Not now I am in church
