DOCTOR WHO | 2.07: WISH WORLD

DOCTOR WHO 1507: Wish World

There’s definitely a joke here.

Straight Doctor Who is lowkey scary😔💔

supernatural season 15 got their “send the gay man to superhell for being gay” moment so of COURSE the 15th doctor in doctor who is going to have to get his “the gay man called from superhell to remind you youre gay” moment

it’s all still one big fandom that literally can never die

something about Rogue has truly grabbed me by the throat.

When Rose and Clara found out the Doctor could completely change their face, they got scared ("I keep forgetting he's not...human." "How do we change him back?"). When Rogue saw, his only reaction was complete and utterly besotted awe.

When they danced together, he placed his hand on his chest, feeling both hearts, and loved it so much he did it again as they kissed.

When Fifteen started planning the Chuldur's suffering, Rogue saw the fury of The Timelord and wasn't afraid of him. Only afraid for him.

When he sacrificed himself for Ruby, his only words were "Find me". He didn't doubt for a second that The Doctor would do whatever it takes to get him back.

And I think what it is is that Rogue loves The Doctor. Not just attracted to him, as so many have been. Because there's a reason why so many have been in the past. People like Madam De Pompadour, and Queen Elizabeth I, are attracted to the mystery of The Doctor, to how strange yet charming they are. They fall in love with the mask they put up.

But Rogue, he's not like that. He may have been attracted to the mask initially, but what won him over was the truth. In an episode all about cosplay, dressing up, and pretending, he can't improvise to save his life.

He saw past the easy smile, the joking exterior. He saw this broken, grieving, ancient alien, and said, "I love every part of him. and I'll wait for him. No matter how long it takes."

And, for a relationship played by two queer actors, written by potentially two queer women, and helmed by a queer showrunner, that's the greatest wish fulfillment a queer person could dream of. A partner who sees us at our worst, at our most potentially unattractive, and sees only beauty.

This episode makes me go insane guys, im sorry.

EDIT: I wrote an extra long piece analyzing more about these two idiots: x

Rogue is in the same super-mega-hell dimension that Castiel was sent to and you cannot tell me any different

THEY PUT KRISTOFF FROM FROZEN IN SUPER HELL????

WHAT IS THIS the doctor can't call a man beautiful anymore AND has to do a desk job, rogue is decaying in super hell for being gay, ruby has been abandoned yet again, everyone is hetero and depressed and reality is slowly withering away conrad clark your world building couldn't suck more ass when I find you it's on sight

My dealer: got some straight gas this strain is called “Desidirium, God of Wishes” you'll be zonked out of your gourd

Me: yeah whatever.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw some shattered yellow mugs

My buddy Rogue pacing: the tables are lying to us

Me and my homophobic grandma watched “Rogue” the other day and she shipped Rogue and the Doctor. Glad to know that the chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa and Jonathan Groff was so powerful that it could cure someone of homophobia.

oh to be a fly on the wall when jack finds out the doctor has fallen for a cocky american time traveller with a somewhat dubious moral compass and a history of loss and trauma and it isn't even him

They had five dollars and a dream

Doctor Who Rogue

Tricky thing, psychic paper. Yeah. Can't let your mind wander when you're handing it over.

The Empty Child // Rogue

i had a lot of predictions for this episode, but rogue sending the doctor a video message from super hell in order to snap him out of heterosexuality was not one of them

MY SILLY HAS RETURNED FROM THE WAR

I think the nice thing about the Doctor and Rogue that is SHOCKINGLY NEW in terms of romance in the show is that there's no power imbalance. When you think of past romances between Doctors and companions, and even River and the Doctor to a certain extent, whoever the love interest is has usually been deferential in some way to the Doctor as an authority figure (which, yes, is very difficult not to do when the show often positions the Doctor as an ultimate authority). However, Rogue isn't dependent on the Doctor. The Doctor isn't a point of reference for him, a leader, a guide, or even a ride home to him. So to me, what makes that romance so sweet and so startlingly fresh even for something in 2024 is not really that it's gay, but that it's a more egalitarian/equal courtship than literally any romance on the show before. I fucking love that honestly.

i don't care if they don't have the budget. i want them to spend 90% of their budget on hiring jonathan groff for at least 2 episodes, then bring back bad cgi and cheap ass set decorations to compensate. doctor who can still be good even if it looks shit

There was a man on the TV. And I really liked him.

me at 18: one of my favorite shows is doctor who and i DESPISEEEE (love) rogue sm hes played by jonathon groff GODDD HES SO PRETTY kill me
