DEAR WRITERS:
IT’S OKAY TO USE “SAID” A WHOLE DAMN BUNCH.
IT’S OKAY TO USE PRONOUNS REPEATEDLY SO LONG AS YOU STRUCTURE YOUR SENTENCES SO AS TO KEEP IT FROM BEING CONFUSING
FUCK, IT’S EVEN OKAY TO USE COMMON SAYINGS AND CLICHES SPARINGLY.
DON’T PURPLE UP YOU PROSE JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT’S NOT OKAY TO DO THESE THINGS BECAUSE IT IS
DON’T TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR PLOT TO MAKE ULTIMATELY UNIMPORTANT DETAILS OF YOUR NARRATION LOOK FLASHIER.
Yep. Please.
Oh, lawd, please.

doortotomorrow asked: You have no idea how annoyed I get on Twitter when I always see the same type of comments about Chris and Nine. Is that seriously the only things people can say about him? I love it when people actually are happy to call themselves Eccleston fans and think of his Doctor as more than just "sassy" because there is soooo much more to Nine than just that.
Yes, exactly! I get the feeling that the “sassy” and “underrated” comments are just a sort of meme where people keep on parroting what they read elsewhere and don’t actually have an opinion or feelings of their own about Nine or Eccles.
Then again I have to keep on reminding myself that some of these people are very young and that at that age you’re not necessarily very original.
“The Doctor’s message seems to be accept life in all its forms. He doesn’t react with horror when he sees a blue, three-headed monster. He reacts with wonder, and I think that’s a very important message to send out to children.”
- Christopher Eccleston
Yet one more reason why I love Christopher Eccleston. And Doctor Who.
If you skip Nine, we can’t be friends.

I don’t get super upset if people don’t watch/like Nine, but Christopher Eccleston’s interviews about the character from right when the show came back are some of the best things ever. Like, talking about how awesome it was that Rose was so involved, because girls needed role models like that? How he’d kept his accent to make sure kids like him (Northern, from a lower-to-middle class backgrounds, etc) would be able to relate to the Doctor, too? Just the best.
And there’s just an element of…I’m not sure populism is the right word, but it’s all that’s coming to mind…about him that Ten and Eleven lack. I just can’t see either of them making the “Two in the morning. Getting a taxi home. I’ve never had a life like that.” speech to anyone, with that amount of both respect and wistfulness for a normal life. Everyone since then has acted like ordinary lives are at best boring and at worst this terrible curse, like the worst part of what happened to Donna was that she was relegated to being ORDINARY (when the worst was that he, like, totally ignored her express wishes so he wouldn’t feel guilty about her dying).
I mean, I’m sure a lot of that is the fact that he’s coming off the Time War and the major, terrible consequences it had, so A Normal Life is way more appealing than it’d normally be, but. Still.
ANYway. Those are my thoughts on Nine/CE. I’m sure most of you’ve heard them all before
Two of my friends said that the 9th Doctor was ugly, horrible, and there was no point to him. They said that no one liked him and everyone who did is an idiot. I told them tons of people liked him and they didn’t believe me.
So reblog this and I will write your url in a notebook labeled “People Who Appreciate Nine” and give it to them to let them become aware of the lovely people like you guys. Deadline is March 22nd.
Reblogging and also noting that there are dozens of people every week who tweet their Christopher Eccleston appreciation… and I retweet them all on eccleston_love :-p
