Re: the DW BF audibooks, 11th-Dr-era "Nuclear Time" is one I recall having good whump in it!
Oh yeah? Awesome!! Thanks for the heads up! There's so many audiobooks I never know which one to listen to. So I'm keeping track of the ones with whump in them to start with. Thanks for letting me know this one has good whump!!
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape a David Tennant character having an emotional breakdown
Donna only knew the Doctor for several hours but she was already willing to risk her own life to protect him.
lived too long.....
All the whumpy episodes for the 13th Doctor in New Who.
Spoilers ahead!
I can take a guess at your first lol so instead I'll ask: who are your three favorite doctors?
LOL You do know me well XD Yeah 10 was my first. My favorite doctors:
1: What a surprise it's definitely the Tenth Doctor. He was my first and my brain will always associate Doctor Who with him. David Tennant is amazing and I love his companions and his storylines and just everything about his era of the show. I love Ten. I love his humor and silliness and how much and how deeply he loves and how deeply he feels pain because of how deeply he loves. I love how he rages and fights for life
2: Eleventh Doctor. It took me ages to warm up to him because I missed Ten so damn badly but Matt Smith is SO GOOD!!! He's so good as the Doctor! He's goofy and heartbreaking, and scary and powerful and I loved watching him as the Doctor. Some of his storylines drive me crazy but that's on the writers and not him. He took what he got and made something amazing.
3: Twelfth Doctor. I didn't care much for Peter's era as the Doctor until my recent rewatch. Rewatching him as the Doctor recently opened my eyes and suddenly I saw his era in a new light and fell utterly in love with his Doctor. I'd been so used to goofy, emotional, kinda childish kinds of Doctors and now suddenly here's Peter Capaldi and he hates being hugged and he's dark and mysterious but also sad and dorky even though he hides it a little more he's also still full of wonder and Capaldi does such a great job at portraying all of this. I love his relationship with Clara and I love his relationship with Bill and Nardole even more.
It's so funny looking at it like this because it's in the right order lol. But it's honestly the same order as I like them.
for tge big finish audio recs: idk how u feel about amy's era but in fairies at the bottom of the garden it talks a lot about amy getting bullied (she's about like. fifteen in it)
I honestly love all eras of Doctor Who, i'm not gonna lie. Some more than others of course but there isn't an era that I dislike. I haven't listened to any of Amy's big finish audios yet! I'll give it a listen :)
Have you ever listened to the Doctor Who Big Finish audios? There's a lot of whump in them.
OH MY GOD YES I HAVE!!!! I've only listened to a few of David Tennant/10th Doctor's audios so far but they're so good!! And you're soooo right!! They're so whumpy!! I just listened to Technophobia and there's a part where Ten is in pain and is groaning and breathing heavily and IT WAS SO GOOD! Ghosts, Time Reaver, and Death and the Queen were great as well. I also loved the Lone Centurian Rory Williams focused ones!! I need so many more of those. Two series isn't enough. I want to learn so much more about what happened to Rory during those 1000 years.
If you have Big Finish audio whump recs please share them with me! It'll help me decide which to listen to next.

Ok but can you imagine:
The doctor always sleeps in the tardis. Of course he does, that’s his home. But one night he and Donna are having so much fun on the couch and they kinda just… drift off together. Shaun smiles and drapes a blanket over them as he heads to bed.
But how well does the doctor sleep? Does he actually? Or does Donna wake in the night to him thrashing and crying and whimpering and shouting, begging for friends long gone and battles long lost, hands clutching at thin air and body curling into the fetal? Does she wake him, right as the rest of the family, also woken by the noise, starts to stagger sleepily and confusedly down the stairs? Only to be greeted with the site of the doctor, hair ruffled from sleep, sobbing in Donna’s arms.
And of course the doctor tries to leave. “I’m fine,” he’ll say, and try to slink away to the tardis. He plans to nip off to some planet for a few days, until he can bear to look them all in the eyes again. But they don’t let him. He’s piled with blankets, and tea, and is told by Donna to sit his scrawny ass back down and tell her what he dreamt of. And maybe he does. Maybe he just sits, feeling the comforting pressure of his family hugging him from all sides. Rose is grabbing a stuffed toy she’s been working on just for him from the shed- and you know the doctor loves it. Donna and Shaun on either side, with even Sylvia there. She’s carding her fingers through his hair, cos her daughter and granddaughter both love that, so why wouldn’t this new child of hers as well? And so the doctor sits, and breathes. And drinks his tea, until his limbs stop shaking and his lip stops quivering. But later he’ll talk about it. And eventually, he’ll stop always sleeping in the tardis. Cos he trusts that he can be seen, and loved, and cared for by his family.
okay okay hold on bc hes out getting groceries and just. breaks down because hey grief isnt pretty and trauma doesnt wait for when it is convenient. and he is just desperately trying to deal with grief and he almost runs off in the TARDIS bc he isnt used to dealing with all these Feelings but donna or wilf or rose or someone stops him and they talk and just. sitting in the garden drinking tea and talking about feelings after a hard day. yeah idk
okay but this is such an angsty/sweet idea??!
I could imagine Donna shopping with him and she finds him in the condiment isle just… crying. But it isn’t funny, she doesn’t use any sarcasm, she just takes him in her arms and they go get a hot chocolate at the cafe next door so the Doctor can talk and process it all 💙

Send me your fourteenth doctor retired life ideas!!
okay but imagine two or three years into fourteen living his domestic semi-retired life and he accidently gets into trouble on a sneaky trip away in the TARDIS, lots of running and jumping involved to escape (because he ain’t getting involved) and when he returns he collapses into Donna’s arms absolutely exhausted and she drags his arse to the sofa where she forces him to cuddle up to her as he recovers, too concerned to ever be mad at him for landing himself in trouble and instead promises him a shoulder massage and endless cups of tea
he is now the epitome of ‘calling all units, my tummy hurts, I need a warm blankie and a cup of hot choccy’
"He's not dying alone. You can do what you like to me. I'm gonna be with him."
