Chat when Jo suppressed a freaking prison riot all by herself  UPD: oh yeah, she just knocked out a guy with a tray 

[spacegranted]

9, 10, 13, 19 for otp meme? Thank you!

9. Favourite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics?

Hmm, I suppose what really bribes me in this ship is their respect, love and utter and complete devotion. It’s just impossibly cute how they try their best to protect each other (the Doctor jumping in front of the Daleks to save Jo? Check. Jo jumping in front of the Satan to save the Doctor? Check). Also, I really like how at ease they are - constantly joking, holding hands, hugging, etc. 10. Least favourite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcanon)

Sometimes the Doctor can be a bit dismissive of Jo because he is the Time Lord™ and knows better how to deal with a situation (but mainly gets captured and then is released by Jo)

13. How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.

Strangely for me, I find it no so hard to write Jo and the Doctor. From time to time I watch some of the episodes just for the reference but not often. So I’ll give 4  

19. On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them?

Hah, as it’s a theme blog probably most of my posts are about spacegranted. On an estimate, it’s 28? 29? Something around that.P.S. I know that this ask was in my inbox for weeks and I’m so sorry about that! I’ve made a meme to compensate for the waiting 

(tell me it is not what he says in The Mind Of Evil because I see no difference)

[spacegranted]

2, 5, 7, 20? =^.^=

2. What song fits your pairing the most?

Okay, as I’ve already answered this one I will pick another song because why not? It’s “Love’s Echo” by Anna German (beautiful @cat94208 made for me a video about Three x Jo which you can find below with this song and I just can’t, it’s so amazing and the FEELS ARE SO STRONG OMG). But returning to the question: I just think it perfectly fits the emotional part of their relationship and especially the canon ending (which I disregard with all my heart by the way :D) of “The Green Death”. It shows how much the Doctor and Jo were affected by each other, how they become similar in many ways and learned from their love. And basically, it feels like it was made from Jo’s point of view after “The Green Death” as she remembers all the adventures she shared with the Doctor and how great it was.   

5. Favourite canon moment of them?

Honestly, now I’m grateful that I can answer this thing twice because?? I have so many favourite moments?? (well, maybe because due to Big Finish audios we have so many blessed scenes). And I know it isn’t correct to name a moment from BF but I just can’t resist - my top 1 favourite scene is the Doctor’s speech to Jo from “the Tyrants of Logic” as he thanks her for saving his life and says that she was literally the only reason that he was able to overcome the cyber-priming. Now it’s my all time favourite piece of DW media EVER as it’s just beautiful. It represents the core, the base of their relationship that stands on the immense devotion to each other. So yes, that’s it, it’s the best moment I could think of. 

P.S.: Jo calling herself the Doctor’s lifeline is my new aesthetic

7. Favourite headcanon trope/idea (your own or someone else’s)

Soo, I can’t find the link to the original post (though I’ll be grateful if somebody can send it to me) but it was about headcanon that the Doctor usually picked Jo up on his motorbike in the morning and gave her lift to the UNIT. It was based on the words of Katy Manning that Jon Pertwee actually did it to her during filming and honestly, it feels absolutely in-character for the Doctor and Jo (I swear, I even saw a fanart for this thing??).

20. What made you decide to ship them?

You know, it went dramatically fast from “I guess these characters look kinda cute” to “OMG them TOGether my ship I love them SO mUch asgfvdfsdk” so it wasn’t my decision really (and anyway, who in their mind would dedicate their life to shipping in general as it is a CURSE and especially to shipping two fictional characters from 1970s TV series?? because?? the minimum of fan made content or approval from show producers is kinda killing you??). But seriously, I suppose I started to REALLY ship them while watching season 9 because the amount of spacegranted content is absolutely mind-blowing:

Soo, that’s it, thank you for asking! It was really fun to do

[spacegranted]

For the otp meme how about 2 and 5?

2. What song fits your pairing the most?

I suppose my choice isn’t what you will think about first, but I strongly associate Spacegranted with “Follow me” by Muse. I feel that this song perfectly shows how deeply they are loyal to each other even in the face of the darkness, how desperately one wants to protect the other and that it’s mutual from both sides. Also, 99% of times the plot point of stories is that Jo literally follows the Doctor into a grave danger because he needs her to keep him safe - isn’t that freaking awesome?? and hella cute??

5. Favourite canon moment of them? 

As I rewrote answer for this particular question 3 times now I started to think that either anything that includes the Doctor and Jo is beautiful (which it is) or I’m really iffy when it comes to making decisions. Sooo I’ll go the easy way and name “sacrificing yourself to the Satan to save the love of your life” scene (honestly, what a life goal)  from “The Daemons”. It sets their whole “protect each other at all cost” dynamic and the plot twist really took me by surprise but it was so amazing, like, unbelievably amazing. So, yeah, that’s it, but actually I can name a number of scenes that are just crucial to the Doctor and Jo’s relationship like the time ram moment from “The Time Monster” or their dialogue from the first episode of “The Green Death” 

The Doctor: “You’ve got all the time in the world and all the space. I’m offering them to you”

me: *sobs outrageously*  And thanks for asking! It really made think a lot about spacegranted in more reasonable way than just going “aadfjhfkjf” every time I see them together. But more answers are on their way!     

[spacegranted]

Hey, friends! For some time I’ve wanted to make Spacegranted version of OTP question thingy and I really like this one so feel free to ask!  P.S. As I was looking through tons of those trying to find the most acceptable one it felt really satisfying that I could answer a lot of questions with an actual gif from the show (for example, who would give their soul to Satan to save the other - yes, Jo, I’m looking at you)

Listening to Behind the Scenes of “The Tyrants of Logic”

Nicholas Briggs: “...I did one pull-back of one word in the Doctor’s big speech to Jo... He used the word “love” and I though it was just a tiny bit too much...” 

Me: *literally spills her tea on the phone* *falls out of a chair* NiCk BriGgs,  yOu Did WhAt

Me after  10 minutes of making incoherent noises on the floor: ...It has been 45 years, freaking 45 years, Nick, we deserve this! 3 daleks stories in a row is too much, but this is my ship content, hOw DaRe yOu

Bonus: you can actually hear Katy Manning’s indignant huffs on the background as she tries to put her word in while Briggs go on saying that “it being a bit mushy” and then they just cut to another part of BtS because believe me, Katy definetely gave him a rant about this

Part 1: Season 8

[spacegranted]

Hi! First I wanna say that your page is absolutely gorgeous as SpaceGranted ship. Actually thanks to you I started shipping Jo and 3rd Doctor, and now they're one of my favs :D. Second I wanna ask you what do you think of Whouffaldi and about Clara? I like both of them (don't hate me if you don't like ;D) and I don't get why people hate them so much.

Hello! First of all, thank you very much for your kind words- it means a lot to me, really. I fear all the time that somebody might find my blog and my obsession with SpaceGranted weird or even disgusting so it really helps to know that I am not so strange and alone with it. Also it’s nice to hear that somebody else saw THE TRUTH about Third Doctor and Jo, haha. 

Secondly, I suppose Whouffaldi is my top 1 NewWho ship. It really surprise me that people can hate it and I don’t get why too. Like, they’re so cute together?? And yet the Tension ™ between them is real, and the whole season 9 finale is so emotional?? I literally cried at the end and I’ve done that before only while watching Doomsday (not counting ClassicWho and the Green Death, of course, but that’s another story). Clara and Twelve are so clearly in love with each other that neither Whouffaldi fandom nor Jenna Coleman can’t understand why people don’t see the love story there. AND the final apperance of Clara in Christmas special made me squike with joy. I am so glad that Doctor has remembered Clara before regenerating and now has all his memories back.

And about Clara as a character: I can’t say that she is my favourite companion but she’s been on the show for 3 seasons for a reason. She is cool and smart, she knows what she wants and doesn’t stop until she gets it (also I really like how she dresses :D).  

I suppose the hate for Whouffaldi is caused by the age difference between Capaldi and Coleman? As you may notice, I don’t pay much attention to this nonsense but, well, some people may feel uncomfortable about it.    

Sorry for the delay and my grammar, I was a bit busy last few days but I hope you’re satisfied with my answer. I wish you luck and hope to see you again on my blog as there are (probably) new posts coming, so more SpaceGranted is on it’s way :)

TAG GAME!

I AM SO LATE AND SO SORRY

It’s all my school’s fault...Damn exams! But nevermind.

I was tagged by @cat94208 to whom I am so grateful. I love doing tag games because it’s always fun.   Rules: Answer the 20 questions and tag 20 amazing that you’d like to get to know better. Name:Polina Nickname: Actually I am called differently by different companies of friends but I think the most frequently used one is “Leading” Zodiac sign: Leo Height: 5, 57 ft or 170 cm Orientation: Bisexual Ethnicity: White Favorite Fruit: Nectarine Favorite Season: Winter with 15 below zero and a lot of snow or proper warm summer with 25 above zero but I haven’t seen such weather conditions for the past few years in the place where I live and it makes me sad a bit. Favorite Book Series: Harry Potter, I guess. HP is on top of my favourite books but none of them is #1-3 (sorry, Rowling, these places are reserved for russian classics). Favorite Flowers: Hm, I suppose I have none? But being blue is enough for being my favourite so all blue flowers I guess.    Favorite Scent: Scent of books, old and new, and scent of breakfast from the kitchen when you wake up on the sunday morning

Favorite Animal: lynx. I think of it as my spiritual animal and I have a ring and a necklace with it. Lynxes are beautiful and powerful predators and yet they have never attacked people first. Coffee, Tea or hot Cocoa: Coffee but with a lot of cream and condensed milk. I like it sweet.   Average Sleep Hours: 8 Favorite Fictional Character: How I am supposed to answer that??? There are so many! But if I have to choose I will name The Doctor, Voland from “Master and Margarita” and Obi-Wan Kenobi as my childhood crush (I know I am breaking the rules but I just CAN’T pick only one,all my fictional babies are so good and pure and deserve love) Number of Blankets you Sleep with: One. In severe winters I’ve slept with two but it was a few years ago.     Dream Trip: I dream of going by train with my friends from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok. The distance between these 2 cities is more than 9000 km and it will take 7 full days to go from one end of the country to the other and reach the destination. I hope we will buy tickets for compartment and spent this trip together telling stories, watching movies, playing board games and having fun. But the most fascinating thing will be the changing views outside windows, the Ural mountains and siberian taiga.   Blog created: I don’t know? A couple of month ago? I suppose you can find that information somewhere but I don’t know where Number of Followers: 61 I tag @spicydinosaurwings948 @bisexualbrigadier @starpanda42 @the-zombie-space-kat  @raywritesthings @gemvictorfromtheponyverse @liria10 @ladysugarquill @lorelei80 UPD: and little info about the blog: I am not really planning to do big posts in near future (but of course the love for Three x Jo moments can strike me again in most unexpected time so who knows). But! I’ve been writing a multi-chapter story for my dear OTP for some time (with great help of @cat94208) and I have 2 finished chapters and when I will give them a final editing I may post them on fanfiction.net or some other site.

[spacegranted]

I just returned home from summer camp and OH MY GOD  THIS JUST THIS  I haven’t even watched it yet but I am already screaming and crying tears of joy THANK YOU, CAT! You are the best!  UPD: I have just watched it and DAMN I am in tears The video is soooo beautiful, bits from episodes matches song perfectly. You’ve done a great job, really It’s a shame that I can’t hang a video on a wall in my room because I would definetely do it with this video. Again thank you so much, I couldn’t ask for more

A lovely request from @spacegranted 

It’s a beautiful song and I’m happy to have gotten to work with it :)

[spacegranted]

My skin is cleaned, my soul is whole, my mind is balanced, my blog is blessed

Finally, i drew their two together ^ ^

DWM #508 aka the cause of my death

I know I am late to the party BUT! I have finally laid my hands on Doctor Who Magazine #508 which is dedicated to 70s DW and let me say that I HAVE NO REGRETS A long post ahead but it worth it! 

So, first of all, the most important bits from an interview with Katy Manning and Mark Gatiss (which is a gift itself, damn, everybody should read it, I swear, every single line is pure gold): 

*MG-Mark Gattiss; KM-Katy Manning

Yeah, like we all know Katy ships Three x Jo too but still I am so glad she is onboard with us, our dear captain. 

I AM NOT CRYING YOU ARE CRYING 

Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning- the ultimate BROTP

And now I can only think about the situation where Jo and Doctor go shopping in some interplanetary mall or market with a lot of aliens and different vivid shops and choose there new jackets for him and Doctor constantly asks for Jo’s opinion and in the end she’s like “Doctor, we’ve been here for 3 hours now, you’d better buy something or I am going to die from starvation” “Jo, it’s not easy, you know, to pick a proper clothes for my appearence” “Oh, don’t tell me”. 

Mark Gatiss: 

fanboy ™  

Next, the interview with Terrance Dicks 

How to make yourself sad in 00000.1 seconds: a story by me

Terrance, why are you like this

“ILLICIT BONKING”, o  m y g o d

And, finally, the last bit:

The same Malcolm Hulke who later wrote this:

And in whose episodes happened this: 

And this:

What I REALLY wanted from Christmas special

Me: *summons the Daemon*

Daemon: What do you want, mortal?

Me: Make BBC invite Sean Pertwee to play Third Doctor along with Peter Capaldi in Christmas Special

Daemon:I...I can't proceed...Too much parallels...Too much nostalgia...I must leave now

Daemon: *goes back into the Void with infernal screams*

Me: ...

Me: Well, I tried.

[spacegranted]

What's your opinion on Bill? I find her quite similar to Jo. (Obviously without the romance!)

Hello!

Oh, I find her amazing! She is my favourite companion from New Who and I would absolutely love to see her in the next seasons. She is kind, funny, smart and she represents all bright young people of modern age and I can relate to her in many ways. God, her voice, I would sell my soul to Satan to just listen to her every day. Also I wish I could have such a friend or a girlfriend as Bill.  And I swear, if any harm come to her in the finale, Moffat will burn in hell til the end of times. We must protect our precious Bill who we don’t deserve at all costs!  

And yeah, I agree with you that in some ways she is a lot like Jo. I suppose it’s because of the similar age, smile that bright as sun, their pure soul, the amazement when they visit new worlds and the loyalty to the Doctor. One sacrificed herself for him, the other gave the rest of the world for his vision and survival. They both didn’t study at university and the Doctor became sort of a teacher for them. Also the Doctor tried (and failed) to wipe out their memories about him for their own safety.

So maybe if Bill survives this season, she will leave the Doctor to travel with Heather just like Jo did? I think it would be nice but I will die of feels anyway.    

[spacegranted]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for tagging me in that DW Tag Game, I'm so excited to do it! :D Yours was really entertaining to read. And I saw that you're in the Overwatch fandom, so I was wondering who your main/favourite character is!

Not at all! I am happy that you have enjoyed my post and are willing to make yours! I am a 100% Lucio-mainer, I play him 24/7 in both competitive and quick play. But from biographic and not in-game side I adore Zenyatta, and Zarya makes me a bit gay

Dr Who: The Tag Game

Tagged by: @cat94208 (hah, I didn’t see this coming but thank you!) 

Tag Game: Doctor Who Edition

Doctor you started with: I’ve started with the Ninth Doctor. Actually it were my friends who made me to sit down with them and watch the first episode. At first I was like “what, everything is so strange, I don’t understand a thing” but then, oh boy, I fell in love with this show. I watched New Who nonstop and then started Classic Who from Terror of Autons because I was attracted by Delgado.

Favourite Doctor: Twelve and Three are my №1, I think I would take a bullet for both of them. But Nine is very close to the top too.  

Favourite Companion: Jo Grant, my precious, carring, badass baby. It’s like impossible not to love her. I mean, just look: 

Jo: *is chased by giant stone robot who killed a person in front of her*

Robot: Execute! Execute! 

*five minutes later when robot turns out not to be evil*

Jo: Oh, Mr Robot, will you be alright if we leave you here for some time? I worry for you so much!

Favourite Episode:  Classic Who: “The Three Doctors”, I suppose? Idk, there are so many underappreciated episodes like “the Mind of Evil” or “The Mutants” or “the Time Monster” (the Atlantis Part). 

New Who: Every.goddamn. episode. with Twelfth Doctor. Especially from series 9 and 10. Peter Capaldi is the gift we do not deserve. 

Also I am very passionate about “The end of the world”. It is a masterpiece. Absolutely legendary. I laughed so hard while watching it because MUSIC THERE. OH GOD.THAT MUSIC. But then it suddenly became so damn sad, and I was like “oh yeah emotional rollercoaster I like that” *sobs*

DW OTP: I think it’s kinda obvious? Three x Jo is my favourite OTP for sure and you can engrave “spacegranted” right on the monument on my grave. 

I suppose it’s because both Third Doctor and Jo are types of people who can’t help but touch everybody around them so when they are together we get double amount of touching which cause a lot of adorableness and unnecessary feels. 

 Yes, Jo, you can randomly put your hand on Doctor’s body, why not.

Yes, Doctor, you can hold Jo’s hand all the time because you worry for your girlfriend companion

Favourite line/quote:  “Hello, Stormageddon. It’s The Doctor, here to help. Be quiet. Go to sleep. No, really. Stop crying. You’ve got a lot to look forward to, you know. A normal human life on Earth. Mortgage repayments, the 9 to 5, a persistent nagging sense of spiritual emptiness. Save the tears for later, boyo. Oh, that was crabby. No, that was old. But I am old, Stormy. I am so old. So near the end. But you, Alfie Owens. You are so young, aren’t you? And you know, right now, everything’s ahead of you. You could be anything. Yes, I know. You could walk among the stars. They don’t actually look like that, you know — they are rather more impressive [uses his sonic screwdriver to make a starry sky appear on the ceiling]. Yeah! You know, when I was little like you, I dreamt of the stars. I think it’s fair to say, in the language of your age, that I lived my dream. I owned the stage. Gave it a hundred and ten percent. I hope you have as much fun as I did, Alfie”  

Favourite Character that isn’t the Doctor or a companion: 

Good Guy: God bless Brigadier. His facial expressions are priceless

 Bad Guy: Omega, definetely. He is very interesting character, powerful, well-mannered (well, when he isn’t having his tantrums), emotional, a bit sassy, and I actually sympathized him while watching the series. 

BrOTP: Tenth Doctor and Donna, I guess.  

Favourite DW fic (if you have one): First of all, big thanks to @cat94208 for inroducing me to the fanfic “Variation on a theme”. I really enjoyed it. But back to the question: I absolutely love all fics by Primsong about Three and Jo but my favourite one is “The Shining Furrow”. It’s just so...good? I reread it sometimes and every time it’s still such a pleasure.  

Favourite DW fanart/blog (if you have one): @thelonelygodzilla‘s art is the reason why I am alive and yet I die of feels every time I see it. 

Idk, The Doctor and Jo in his/her works look so good, so pure, so in love  

But why stop on fanart when we have official art?Let me tell you this...

*inhales deeply*

I LOVE THIRD DOCTOR TITAN COMICS SO MUCH! Like, how the hell it’s even real? How the hell it’s canon? After more than 40 years we suddenly get this story and oh God, what a time to be alive. 

If you could pick anyone to be the next Doctor, who would it be? (Why, if you feel like explaining): Can we just have a new circle of Peter Capaldi? Like Twelve regenerating into Twelve would be so nice. I would actually pay to see more of him on screen. I just hope Big Finish will catch PCap right after his leaving and do some (by that I mean as much as possible) audios with him and Bill and maybe other companions and Clara. pLeAsE. 

But if I really have to choose I pick Tilda Swinton because she has very unique appearance and it would be a fresh start for the show. 

If you could pick anyone to be the next companion who would it be? (Why?): I know that I am supposed to pick an actual actor but...guys, listen. 

Newt Scamander as companion of New Doctor. They would travel around the universe saving different creatures, visiting amazing places and do other good stuff.   

Favourite fan theory: Shame but I don’t know any theories about DW

Other fandoms: Legend of Aang/Korra, Harry Potter, Overwatch, Skyrim, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, MCU (is there a fandom for classical russian literature? Because I am totally in it).
