Humans. 

 #The Doctor treats Earth and the human race as his second family of sorts #He travels almost entirely with humans and he spends quite a lot of time on earth #He loves humans and has made that very clear #Especially during The Eleventh Hour when the Atraxi questions him about Earth #And he says No but I’ve put a lot of work into it or whatever it was #So it’s really curious to see how the Doctor’s character has evolved over time #In Eleven’s beginning he was still a bouncy little puppy #He loved everything and particularly his curious little humans#But as his character continues to grow I guess he starts to become more weary?#I’m not really sure what it is but there is a noticeable change in his character #It’s not so much that he grows more skeptical of the humans #More that he knows he’s going to die I guess #So he starts to finally put himself first instead of his humans#I don’t even know if I’m making sense anymore but let me continue #In TIA he knows he’s about to die #So he remarks longingly about the humans that he loves so much #Resigning himself to the fact he’s going to die and leave Earth behind as a WIP #But in Closing Time he’s preoccupied with himself and his Farewell Tour#Pretending that he doesn’t care about his humans because he’s going to leave them and pretending he doesn’t care would make leaving them … #a lot easier #But in the end he really does care and helps Craig save the earth from the Cybermen #So I guess in true tl;dr versions #The Doctor loves the Earth and the human race#They’re probably his favourite species (via cloysterbell)
