Bean Yaps About Adric Again!!! Who Coulda Guessed!!! - Tumblr Posts

I think we all need an Adric in our life. <3

We all need to adopt a math boy. 💖💖

YES!!! Adric is genuinely up there as one of my favorite doctor who characters of all time. He:

is overflowing with autism, and doesn't want to leave the TARDIS half the time because he wants to sit in bed and read math books

has the silliest little androgynous haircut one episode, then absolutely atrocious hair the next

doesn't know how gender works

shows no respect to anyone except the Doctor who he repeatedly beats people up for

walked so Jimmy Neutron and Sheldon Cooper could run

would kiss a boy, but also would say "ew" if you said you like liked him

sucks up to basically every villain, which is a very interesting thing to explore as a writer, but instead everyone just looks at him and goes "you suck stop it"

was the audience surrogate as a fanboy of the show, but he was also from a different fucking universe (which is never brought up again really???? like e-space is just for Adric, no one else gets that)

got blown up because the writers thought he was too cringe

gave the redemption arc HE SHOULD HAVE HAD and was crammed into Earthshock to Turlough, who I'm still developing my opinion on but I've settled somewhere around "ehh you're okay" with so far

sorry to word vomit on you but adric!!! ADRIC!!!!!!!! it's hard to talk about him because he was relevant *checks notes* 43 years ago, but he is my blorbo of the month and thank you for the ask. We all do need a little orphaned math boy in our lives 💖💖💖
