i wrote a poem
whoa
I almost scrolled past this but it’s actually really fucking deep…
if i was in a fictional universe i wouldn’t be the main character i’d probably be that friend of the main character who lacks supernatural powers or special abilities but makes up for it with sarcasm and really lame one-liners
For a moment I thought that, too, and while I didn’t actually want to know the Doctor’s name, they could have made this work??
It could have been epic; ‘please’ is such a common word, present in just about every language, used millions of times a day. It’s one of those things that you say without noticing, but it’s always there, just like the Doctor. Just imagine if you were the Doctor, and everywhere you went, you heard people using your name in everyday language, and using your name is showing courtesy and politeness. And maybe that’s why the Doctor helps people; when you want help, you say ‘please’, and if ‘please’ was you name, how could you refuse all these people begging you for help?
‘Please’ is also a pretty well used word on Doctor Who as well, whether the Doctor himself is saying it, or people are saying it to him, and I think that it sums up the Doctor pretty well; not perfectly, but a lot better than some other words. On one hand, the Doctor isn’t some all-powerful being, and isn’t above begging and pleading to save the people he loves. But on the other hand, while is isn’t all-powerful, he has a lot more power than most people, so it’s not unheard of for people to beg something of him either. And that’s what the Doctor does - he helps people.
So, basically, if it had come to it, I think they could have made this work.
