rip pope francis thank you for your service (spreading the word frociaggine)

We've already had a Pope John-Paul, it's time for Pope George-Ringo!

“Humans,” said the Doctor from the doorway, dourly shaking his head. His hat sat in his hands, disconsolate. “Utterly insatiable creatures. Sex-obsessed. Leave them alone for five minutes, and there you have it, they’ll be mating for life.”

“Time Lords,” said Sarah, with equally tragic sobriety. “Never learnt to knock.”

time lords are such hypocrites

They really should bring back those 60s era doctor who plots where the doctor and his companions live through completely different adventures. Barbara trying to white savior her way through Aztec society while the doctor spends the whole serial rizzing up an old woman. The doctor and Vicki stealing a dead man's identity, weaselling into Neros court, dodging assassination attempts, and starting the burning of Rome while Ian and Barbara are sold into slavery for the 15th time that week. Things of this nature

romana's introduction scene features two time lords, ergo it is sort of difficult to plot their ages onto human ones, but let us try. imagine if god said: you are going on a road trip for me. have fun! now imagine a 21-year-old walks into your sexy sexy car that you want to fuck unannounced and says she has fucked your car for you. and then she calls you, a 30-year-old, senile. on the grounds that you have been travelling in your car for ten years, which i suppose is a really long time if you are 21. within a few drives you are space married. now fastfoward a few years and she's bitter that you're still more in love with your car than her, even though your car is more in love with her than you.

I dreamed the Pope announced a new deadly sin called 'sluttony' and everybody was really excited to try it.

one thing you have to consider about using a lance is you wont have full control over yourself anymore. the lance compels you to start running people through just for the fun of it

it's quite funny, actually, that four's first season took place in probably less than a week but his fifth season could have feasibly unfolded over several centuries

[natequarter]

the pope is reincarnated. however, since popes are replaced whenever the former guy dies, some of the popes are false popes. (this was revealed to the european aristocracy several times in the middle ages, hence the phenomenon of antipopes.) it is your job to guess which.

he attends all three of ben and polly's weddings. he is very polite and not at all consumed by jealousy at jo's wedding but sadly she does not realise it's him despite him loudly saying yes i am THE doctor in a very obnoxious, nudge nudge wink wink fashion. he attends the brigadier's weddings (jealous) and gets told to fuck off by his future self at the second wedding. he attends sarah's wedding and ruminates to himself (out loud, still jealously) that he could swear she isn't married and she says oh i'm planning to get divorced later, this is just for life experience. he attends leela's wedding and remarkably it's not leela or andred that tries to kill him, just his own people. now he meant to attend tegan's wedding but sadly he fell into a wormhole and ended up back at polly's second divorce.

(also, steven tried to kill him.)

after about five incarnations worth of running about time and space ignoring people's anniversaries, the doctor finally decided to bother to show up to his friends' weddings. he got about as far as leela before the time lords tried to arrest him and sentence him to execution again.

thinking about steven taylor and lying face down on the floor. just something about how he suffers horribly in pretty much every single serial he's in but always survived and how in the myth makers that comes about as him being stabbed and poisoned and slowly dying in agony whilst vicki leaves the doctor's life forever. the doctor's priorities, formerly i think focused on vicki, immediately shift solely to saving steven - he knows that vicki knows what she wants and can handle herself, whilst steven is possibly fatally wounded, in agony, in a war-torn city crumbling around their ears. it really is striking how the doctor's priorities shift entirely onto steven from the myth makers to the massacre - he no longer has vicki to watch over and everyone else keeps on dying around them and so he makes sure to save the one person he knows he can keep safe. and yet, despite his best efforts, steven tries to throw away his life and ultimately attempts to leave him. but no one else was left standing in an ashy barren plain, littered with corpses of friends and foes, that was once filled with life - and no one else will ever know what they saw.

the doctor is autistic, unusual by the standards of his own people, but tbh looking at the time lords we've met a lot of them are also pretty autistic. however. the doctor is also adhd

A friend and I were discussing what we're like when we're sick and we decided people usually fall into one of these five 'sick modes': *Everyone is probably multiple of these at different times depending on how sick they are and with what but we think most people have a mode they default to and become more often than the others*

Delicate Consumptive Victorian: you feel tragic and mournful but also beautiful in a sad way, you are in bed, sipping hot tea, others should quietly whisper about how you are too good for this world, too beautiful, too tragic... And bring you more tea

Sick Dog: you are curled up in a ball, you don't want anything, you don't need anything, but it would be nice if others could still ask you if you need anything

Sickly Child Emperor: you are dying and it's everyone else's problem, you need pillows, no! you need soup, no! You need absolute silence or you will not be the first one to die today

Plague Pit: you are curled up probably on the floor, no one touch you, no one look at you, this is between you and God and you already know He has no mercy left for you

Warrior General: you are not sick. You are in perfect health and you don't know why anyone would think otherwise. Illness is an enemy that can be intimidated and you must remain strong for your men! (You are going to pass out at the most inconvenient moment possible)
