"It is my privilege and honor to be able to tell the story of a mother with a trans daughter."
Let's talk about how different Fourteen's hugs with Donna are from Ten's. Fourteen is almost always initiating the hug, and he wraps himself around Donna and holds her tight, which is different from Ten's tentative and reserved hugs. Fourteen pours all of himself into a hug, and all of his affection and love are reflected in those hugs he gives to Donna, just like both of his hearts that he is giving so sincerely as well.
anyways the version of much ado about nothing starring catherine tate and david tennant as beatrice and benedick is a Classic. david tennant’s benedick is FULL chaotic dumbass, and catherine tate’s beatrice is past being full of rage and is completely done with everyone from the very beginning. plus, they just work off each other so well.
not to mention the costumes and props. benedick in drag? BENEDICK IN JORTS AND A SUPERMAN SHIRT? beatrice wearing a suit? beatrice swaggering around with a beer in her hand, while benedick sips on pink, fruity cocktails? benedick writing his love song to beatrice on one of those stupid little electric keyboards? unparalleled artistry.
nothing makes me happier than this moment
oh absolutely ICONIC. and the fact that he gives his whole monologue after whilst covered in paint. “love me? [beat, looks down at his paint covered self] why?” truly how shakespeare intended it
I also love this. what a way to kick things off.
[Image Descriptions: Three images of David Tennant as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. Two gifs of him wearing cut-off jean shorts and a superman shirt, smearing paint all over his chest and face. One still image of him sitting in a golf cart covered in union jacks with his feet up on the steering wheel, sort of hanging off the thing. He’s wearing a military uniform. This is Benedick’s entrance in the play. End description.]
Just watched (gotta rent now) and I love this play but Jesus Christ every man except Benedick is a PiEcE oF sHiT.

"Nine and Donna would've hated each other" WRONG they would ADORE each other they would be the two cattiest bitches in the book club. Donna would lean over and tell him "honestly sounds like Rassillion was a bit of a cunt" and he snorts so hard he almost regenerates right then and there
Mr "What're you gonna do? Moisturise me?" and her majesty "you're a long streak of alien nothing!" would get on like a house on fire :D
