Help my transgender friend win a set of breasts! →
heyhoolou:
Guys, this is important.

Ask Box: My Thoughts on Doctor Eleven
fucknodoctorten:
After finishing the majority of the Eleventh Doctor’s run, I must say I find him phenomenally better than the Tenth Doctor in virtually every way, although I have plenty of reservations about what Moffat’s poor handling of narrative flow and the person-hood of secondary characters might forebode for him.
I’m honestly surprised that so many people criticize Doctor Eleven for...
