Oh my! I’m very flattered! I’m afraid I don’t follow many blogs, and I’ve never been very good at blog recs, but I’ve made some close connections with a few who I’ve hung around with on here for a while, each of which I think really add something wonderful to this fandom.
@abossycontrolfreak and @tillthenexttimedoctor have always been something of a fandom inspiration to me! They’ve been doing insightful meta and beautiful gifs long before I was, and I admire them both tremendously. Definitely both more new Who than classics or extended universe, I’ve sort of leapt further into the rabbit hole, but it sounds like that’s perfectly okay for you!
@clarabosswald is a magnificent blogger who I admire something more of from afar, but with lovely stuff to offer.
@resting-meme-face and @evilqueenofgallifrey are both wonderful, my go-to people to chat about the new spinoff Class in particular with. Expect much very gay Quill thirst, though.
@ceci-nest-pas-une/@whovianfeminism is of course a pretty big blogger in the community, with some quality writeups and critical takes.
@taiey has a lot of strong and interesting opinions to offer, as well as some lovely appreciation for some underappreciated characters.
@joscribbles is more art-based, but I do love it.
@haruspis is quite a good mate and has tons of critical perspectives to offer, though even more on Halo than Doctor Who, and I’m afraid I know basically nothing of Halo! Still, lovely person.
@clockworkamelia has been a mutual of mine for ages, and definitely has some nice critical thoughts and comments to make. Maybe one day she’ll keep a URL long enough for me to get used to, too, took me a couple tries to remember the right one! 😛
It’d be remiss of me to miss @lyricwritesprose and @orelseatlastsheunderstoodit, two other people who I’ve been mutuals with for a while and always have a good discussion in them.
@the-last-teabender has more experience with lovely Doctor Who people than basically anyone, and is so clever she’s working on a book on Heaven Sent!
@faithful-viewer is way better at keeping up on gif-making than me and making some wonderful stuff of the new run.
Off Tumblr, I must recommend the AV Club’s coverage of Doctor Who, their reviewer for Doctor Who (and now Class) typically has interesting perspectives to offer in the way of criticism. Even when I disagree, which I’ll do with any reviewer because that’s how life is, I’m always glad I gave them a read.
The Classic/Extended Universe community is a bit of a different, weird, meme-obsessed space, but I just wanna give a shoutout to lovely fellows like @the-macra, @gwylock-one, @3rddoctor, @persona-engine, and more. There’s a lovely little social circle we’ve sort of formed on the more obscure end of content, so if you ever start really wading into the corners of the franchise, check them out!
I am 100% forgetting a ton of wonderful bloggers, and I’m sure my followers can recommend plenty of favorites of their own.
