Thanks for the welcome! I won't shame you for your preference for the 10th doctor (: but i will respectfully and strongly disagree, lol
I don't want to include the classic Doctors in my ranking, just since I don't know them well enough, but my order (from favorite to least favorite) is 12th-9th-11th-13th-10th. Like them all, just I really love Capaldi and Eccleston's Doctors.
As for companions... I have no idea. Really liked Bill, so maybe her? Or Donna? idk xD

Fair, fair XD
I actually haven't seen any of the 13th doctor yet (I plan on watching it soon) or any of the classic Doctors. I would also like to see them at some point, but I do have a Doctor Who encyclopedia that helps, but I haven't read too much. My ranking from favorite to least is probably 10th-11th-9th-12th. When I first saw Doctor Who, I didn't really like the 9th Doctor b/c I was new to watching it, but then I actually really came to like him & his adventures (: & I'm the same. I don't hate the 12th Doctor, even though he's at the bottom of my list XD I actually quite like him; he's just not my favorite XD
I always have such a hard time choosing a favorite companion b/c I feel like I have favorites for each Doctor XD

Oh yeah, that's basically how I feel about the Doctors at the end of my list too xD I think they're great, but the ones at the top are just... greater. So I like the 10th Doctor a lot, just not as much.
Same here xD I know what pairings I like and which companions I liked with each Doctor, but I have a hard time comparing the companions. I feel like I often prefer a companion because I preferred their season/era/associated Doctor, not because I actually prefer them (if that makes any sense).

Yeah, haha. So, do you have a favorite episode that you can think of? (:
& same, i totally get that. I start picking favorites and then I'm like, wait, there's also so-and-so and I like them, as well, so.... XD

Ok, so, favorite episode question... my answer changes all the time, but I really like Vincent and the Doctor, Genesis of the Daleks (and yes it's a story, not an episode, but who cares) (although also that's such a typical answer to give) (but it is good and it made me really want to watch Classic Who so whatever), and Heaven Sent (a masterpiece in TV). But again... it changes all the time. What's yours?
I just start making a list and then get to the end and realize I named all of the companions from New Who and it's like "well... all of the above?" xD

Vincent and the Doctor was a really good one. I love that one, too! The favorites that I can think of at the moment are: The Day of the Doctor, The End of Time, Doomsday, A Good Man Goes to War, Journey's End, The Wedding of River Song.... These are the ones I could think of off the top of my head XD I've probably seen The End of Time and The Day of the Doctor the most, haha. I have a few more favorites, but I can't think of them XD I actually forgot the titles of a few of these, so I had to look up the names XD
Ikr? Same, haha.

Not gonna lie, I get The Name of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor, and the Day of the Doctor mixed up sooo often. I always have to google them to remember which is which xD Although speaking of not remembering titles, I have so much trouble remembering the 13th Doctor's episodes' titles. idk why, it's just like in one ear and out the other (or in one eye and out the other? idk how to modify that saying, lol)
How did you get introduced to Doctor Who?

How did you get introduced to Doctor Who? Fair, haha. They are very similar xD And I agree. I remember the other season titles more for some reason, haha. Boy, do I got a story for that xD So, a little background: in high school, the people I hung out with lovedddd Doctor Who, but I had no means to watch it or anything & since I’d never watched it and had no idea what I was missing, I didn’t seek it out. But my friends always talked about it & had phone cases with Daleks and Tardis’, so I kind of knew those? But I had no idea what any of it meant xD Fast forward: I got prime for my kindle and found out that I could watch shows on it. By chance, I stumbled upon Doctor Who, and, because I remembered my friends talking about it so much, I was like, hey, I can finally give it a try! So I sat down to watch the first episode. And then not even 10 minutes later, I shut it off. I really wanted to like it, but at the time I guess I just couldn’t xD So, then some time passed and I discovered the show Good Omens on prime. I’d seen a bunch of commercials for it, and it looked pretty cool. So I decided to watch that. Welllll~ lo and beyond, David Tennant was in it. And I loved his acting & I’d remembered hearing that he was in Doctor Who. So then I decided to give Doctor Who another shot because I really wanted to see David Tennant xD To my sadness, he didn’t show up right away, but I kept with it so I could see David Tennant xD And then by then, I ended up falling in love with Doctor Who xD Maybe I’m a bit biased towards the 10th Doctor because he’s the one I’d been wanting to watch. But I also just love him as the Doctor, haha. How’d you get into Doctor Who?

But I also just love him as the Doctor, haha. How’d you get into Doctor Who? I got hooked through my mom. My mom grew up watching Classic Who on PBS, so she has been a fan for a long time now. So when Doctor Who came back in 2006 (a year late for American viewers, sigh), she was very excited and sat both me and my dad down to watch. Which kinda backfired because, well, I was small and the Autons were scary and... yeah. I refused to watch any more episodes of it. I distinctly remember my mom turning on the TV, me seeing the Daleks, and then running to the other side of the house.
I honestly don't remember how I started to watch it, but I think my mom convinced me to watch the first season of Matt Smith? I don't know. But somehow I did a 180 and became a huge fan. Again, I have no recollection of this xD it just kinda... happened? I don't know. But long story short, Mom was a fan so she got me into it. And now years later I am one of those people with a bunch of Doctor Who shirts and a TARDIS phone case.
It's kinda funny that we both didn't like it initially xD wonder how common that is

That's so awesome that it's something you and your mom can share (: I still want to see the classics, but I don't know when I'll get the chance. For now I'm just happy rewatching the 9th-12th Doctors, haha. I feel like when I was younger, I didn't really pay attention to things the way I do now, so I get that. I'm glad I got into the show later on because, while it would have been nice to chat about Doctor Who with my friends when they did, I think I'm more mature now and am able to appreciate it more (:
I don't have any Doctor Who shirts, but I just got socks! And I do have an encyclopedia and the 9th-12th Doctors on DVD XD
That's a good point! I wonder!

Modern Who fans are just as valid as Classic Who fans <3 also watching Classic Who in the US is so hard... the only place I know where you can watch it is BritBox. There might be other services, but... idk.
Hey, as long as you eventually became a fan! (: But yeah, I think maturity helps a lot. I was still pretty young when I started, but I think I appreciate Doctor Who now that I'm older. It's just... deeper, now? I feel like I understand their messages better and how they're relevant. As a kid I understood the obvious stuff (tolerance, kindness, that stuff), but I could not identify "oh they're talking about this issue" or "oh this is a metaphor for this." Does that make sense? idk
Oh my goodness that bracelet sounds beautiful! My phone case used to be Starry Night with a TARDIS in it. Van Gogh and Doctor Who crossover art is the best
EDIT: Side note, Mint, what stickers do you have?

moss; Yeah, I don't want to buy them, and they're hard to find o: I searched my library when it was open and couldn't find any there, either. But I'd like to have another look.
It makes sense, yeah. And I agree. I feel like with more understanding of just everything you can kind of connect on a deeper level now. & then there's also just the fact that I love movies & shows and stuff, and I just appreciate all that so much more. Like, when I was younger, I think I just "liked" things, but I never really thought of what went into it. I just thought that it just... was. But now I just find so much beauty in all the art.
It is! (: And ikr? It was so emotional, too //sheds tear

I also have my phone background as the TARDIS, soooooo.
I have one that says "Vote Saxon: Master the Future," one that is the 13th Doctor in front of the TARDIS, only one door is rainbow and the "Police Box" sign says "Gays in Space" now, and then I have 13 tiny cat stickers, each themed off a Doctor.

sorry for disappearing, school started and... woop dee doo.
I am still (still) processing the New Year's episode. Sadly can't rewatch it (or at least I haven't looked into how I possibly could), but still processing. It's just taken my brain so long to realize that a. there is new Doctor Who and b. it wasn't even a year since the last Doctor Who we got (even though it felt like a decade)
And Mint, the little cat stickers and "Gays in Space" sound sooo adorable!
