As one of the biggest Doctor Who stars from back during the very heights of the show’s Tumblr TV fandom (and during an era where the series itself seemed especially happy to fan those flames), few modern actors have been as aggressively ’shipped, ’shopped, and lusted after as David Tennant. It’s the sort of thing that just kind of follows the Scottish actor around in the background everywhere he goes now, mostly ignored by himself, but ever-present in the conversations surrounding his work. David Tennant as a brooding detective? Sexy. David Tennant as a sociopathic mind-controller? Still kind of sexy! David Tennant as a sarcastic demon in a just-this-side-of-subtext romantic relationship with an immortal Michael Sheen? Oh, c’mon!
