I read the news today, oh boy...
Feb. 5th, 2025 11:56 amI don't know why it surprises me that people get so excited about the most insignificant things. Yes, David Tennant has eleven toes. Does that really warrant front-page news?
On the other hand, the accompanying hilarity is always appreciated. Conversation between me and my husband over Slack:
Me: Some reddit user said, "I'm looking forward to 'David Tennant's sixth toe' to start showing up as a tag on AO3. I give it a day."
Him: It's going to be a POV character in at least one fanfic.
Me: That is awful. :smile:
Him: Now your David character has to trip over something and thus need first aid and reveal his secret
Me: NO.
Me: NO NO NO
Me: That is just awful.
Me: LOL
Him: You want the viewers you give them what they want.
Him: And this is hot-off-the-press you will skyrocket
Me: I should post a story called "The Toe", and the text is, "No. I'm not going there."
Him: LOLOLOL
Him: I think a series rewrite from the POV of the toe is gonna be a hit
Him: "So much running. But does he ever think of me?"
Him: "hidden away. The secret of a time lord"
Him: This is what the family of blood was REALLY chasing
Him: And who knows if Sutekh, as he died, found a ... tiny little hiding place.
Him: Slowly building a toe empire
Him: And Davros... now we know it's entirely a jealousy thing. "I got NO TOES LEFT and he has ELEVEN what the HELL"
Me: Well, that was Ncuti, not DT, and we assume Ncuti has ten toes. BUT that means we can have a character introspection as the toe disappears during the bigeneration.
Him: You know how the Daleks miss a lot? well, the called shot on the toe is like a -12
Him: No actually it was 4, not 15. That's where Sutehk hid ALL THIS TIME
Him: ok fine you are right BUT if I have to focus on 10, then I can also focus on.... Meta
Him: Rose finds out and then she's just fine....
Him: then Jackie finds out...
Him: "What else does he have 11 of?"
Me: Wait wait wait. If Meta came from the hand, perhaps there's another from the toe!
Him: OH NOW WE ARE COOKIN' WITH BUTTER!
Him: "Introducing David Toennant as the Doctor"
Me: THAT IS THE WORST.
Him: You misspelled "the AWESOMEST"
Me: If Toey (since Meta is Handy) is in the prime universe, then the 70th really can be three Doctors all played by David Tennant.
Him: NICE
Him: A toenail clipping lands in the computerbank. Over the eons, the Toevellan race rises, and becomes the natural enemy of the Daleks cause, again, they don't got no toes.
Me: LOL
Him: The werewolf episode's screening name was 'Tooth and Too Many Claws' before contractual issues stopped them from introducing The Toe.
Me: omg
Him: "No, Donna, I didn't join you on the beaches of Midnight because, uh, well, how do I put it, OH NO I WAS KIDNAPPED BY A ... THING ON.. THE TRAIN YES THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED whew secret is safe"
Me: HAHAHAA
Him:
Martha: "She's your daughter? Does she have.... you know?"
Donna: "Wat?"
10.01: "SHHHH MARTHA"
Me: Now we see why celebrities don't reveal this kind of thing.
Me: 10.01 <- hilarious
