Blogspiration is a weekly meme hosted by GrowingUpYA and Saz101. The meme was created to help spark inspiration among bloggers, readers and writers alike. An inspirational quote/picture/video is posted weekly, on the day of the author's choosing, so that it may inspire creativity, conversation or just a little SOMETHING.
You know, when you watch Doctor Who, you think it's all time travel, a blue box, scary adventures, aliens, and that's it. The truth is, the show is so much deeper than that. And so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better. :)
The truth is, the show celebrates so much about life and humanity that I can't help but be inspired by the characters and the writing and the stories. Since it's Whovember, I would like to feature Doctor Who during the five Blogspiration posts this month. Of course the Doctor isn't going to take me on adventures and change my life, but one thing I love in the show is how the companions change their own lives by opening themselves up to new experiences and making sacrifices and being brave.
I love Doctor Who so much! Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteOh awesome, another Whovian! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteThis is a really great post- I've never been partial to Doctor who since it gave me terrible nightmares as a child, from the Tom Baker hilarity season no less, and I've always been a little too intimidated by the monsters, but there are some beautiful things that come from it, such as this quote. You've written a beautiful post! Happy blogspiration! x.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you check it out! It might be a little scarier than it was in the Baker years, but definitely lots of fun! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI've never seen a Docter Who show, but some friends of mine advise me to start with it. Now I see you're enthousiast too, I think I'll have to try it :D Curious about it...
ReplyDeleteYes, you should listen to your friends! :) It's really a great show, it has everything, adventure, comedy, tragedy, romance and history and science fiction thrown in!
DeleteLove love love this blogspiration!! I really need to start watching this serie!! I have a feeling I am missing out the whole world with not watching it! MUST do :)
ReplyDeleteYay, I think you will enjoy joining the ranks of Doctor Who fans! :) It's a great fandom to be a part of!
DeleteI LOVE THIS! So epically awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! 'Epically awesome' describes the show pretty well! :D
DeleteA lovely post. I really like the way you summarize the show's appeal. It is definitely a monster show but as you say it's also about so much more. Thanks for sharing this! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love that quote so, I think it captures the spirit of the show perfectly!
DeleteOh oh oh... Charlene. Thank you so so SO much for posting.
ReplyDeleteAnd... uh... I think it says soemthing about me as a Whovian that I'm covered in painful goosebumps and tearing up reading the quote and seeing this picture and *sobs* (I'm not kidding. tears in eyes).

If anything in the entire world, if anything literary of fictional or so wonderful could be real, I'd want it to be Doctor and the TARDIS.
*sigh*
Thanks for stopping by Sarah! I didn't realize you are a DW fan! I felt a little choked up seeing this picture because of the last episode with the Pond's goodbye. It's a great ending, but still so sad!
DeleteI totally agree, the world would be such a magical place for me, if the Doctor could actually exist. Imagine the waiting list of people signing up to be the Doctor's companion! :D
