#18th century doctors

[unit-id-k725]

I love 18th century doctors

"oh you have a cold? Idk, do some cocaine abt it idc"

Just, wild and blatant disregard to their patients health and wellbeing

And they get away with it because "they didn't know any better"

Dumbasses

After watching the Doctor Who serials 'The Reign of Terror', I decided to paint the Doctor, Susan, Barbara and Ian in historically accurate clothes from the 1790s.

I just can't manage to do full comic pages and clean lineart with procreate so I'm doing these doodles for fun instead while I wait for my Huion to arrive.

I wanted to do this scene from her point of view. Robbie's first interactions with her suffered greatly from her having just talked with both Tony and Stephen first.

The first days after her resurrection Blade hold the badge of "only normal male teammate" until she actually talked with Robbie and got to adjust her mental image of him. It was a "not all men, Blade would never" kind of situation for her.

The kiss 💋

I started this art quite a while ago and finally finished it! Doctor and Captain are without their wigs here, it was very interesting to draw. I just adore this moment at the beginning of the book, where Jim is surprised by how Doctor's black hair and eyes contrast with his snow-white wig 😍

By the way, I was inspired to finish this work by my lovely friend Nastya, SmolLivesey is our favorite ship ❤️‍🔥

And also today is Nastya's birthday, so I congratulate her heartily and dedicate this artwork to her! 🥳🎉

CLASSIC WHO FASHION First Doctor in The Reign of Terror

further spoilery reflections on the Rogue novelisation: post-audiobook random stuff edition

some things I enjoyed in the book that we didn't get in the show, though I see why we didn't:

the highly developed animosity between Ruby and Lord Stilton Barton, including her telling him "Don't hang out in a library unless you wanna get read" and standing him up in the middle of a quadrille, as a result of which he is actively planning to kill her

the description of the Doctor "giving the TARDIS a little comforting tap" in response to her indigestion groan

the Doctor ruthlessly breaking up Rogue's large weapon disseminator (variously described as his precious creation, his favourite gadget, etc) and using bits of it to reprogramme the trap (R: "I can't believe you broke my stuff!") - interesting that in this version Rogue is the one who's incautiously handing over his tech, rather than the Doctor handing over the sonic

the Doctor telling Rogue "Don't pout too much. When we're not trying to kill each other, we're a good team."

Rogue and the Doctor's dialogue in the garden after the Scandalous Gay Dancing/Fake Proposal OR WAS IT:

"Quite the show," Rogue said with a sly grin.

"You did pretty well yourself," the Doctor replied, adjusting his collar.

I hope someone is writing fic about Professor Sarsha Melenney of Capriskia University, the only survivor of the Chuldur invasion; my heart goes out to her. I like the grimness of this chapter, and how it moves from jokes about inheritance tax fraud to the way people would rather claim they'd been duped by a shapeshifter than "admit to being friends with, or related to, someone awful."

Ruby getting a stitch from "running about after eating all those finger sandwiches" and reflecting that you don't see that on tv

the Chuldur butler being fed up that not one person has accused him of murder, and being told it's the wrong era for it AGAIN (see tvtropes: The Butler Did It), and his pleasure when he finally gets to be the murderer (bumping off the vicar in order to perform the marriage)

more Duchess action, and the family tensions between her and [her annoying middle sister] Miss Emily Beckett, including the Duchess's plan to have a fling with Barton at her next event, "just to help her sister realise that their marriage was bogus" (& KH and BR generally having fun with poisonous family dynamics in this story)

in general, it feels as if Ruby gets more to do in the book than she does in the episode - there's more Ruby-and-Emily, more Ruby-and-Barton, more Ruby-and-the-Duchess. Ruby even makes sure nobody else gets killed by the Chuldur, at the point where Lord Frampton threatens to become "a grey-haired gentleman in a gold waistcoat" so that he can act as "father of the bride":

"Can we all stop messing about, please?" Ruby interrupted. "It's my wedding, and I want the Duchess to give me away." (at this point the Duchess still thinks Ruby is her annoying sister aka Emily, but she agrees to it anyway because she wants to be centre stage)

I am still happily cackling at the title and author of the book Ruby whacks Emily with :)

listening to the audiobook brings out different emphases, and changes the pace for me; there were other bits that made me laugh that I now can't remember, and some that made me have something in my eye...

What if Captain Jack Harkness got stranded in 18th century Paris and met a certain Non-discriminating Gentleman Vampire

(They'll paint the town white with shlick #slut4slut)

What if Captain Jack Harkness accidentally went to 1945 New Orleans and reunited with Lestat Who Just Barely Survived Murder By His LOML

(Can jack fix him?)

What if the order was reversed?

[redeemed-wren]

One day I'm gonna make a big rant post about Jamie being Not Sexist cos I keep seeing people comment on him being sexist and NO he's NOT

Thinking specifically of that bit in War Games where Zoe's like "this guy has some strong views about women's place" and Jamie's like "oh he sounds like a nice guy ^_~" and then like TWO MINUTES LATER is supporting Zoes right to have her opinion heard like duuuude hes TEASING

Something occurred to me about how the Research Patients hero-worshipping Lady Maria and just. Do you think she went around the place offering solace to the patients (when they could still see her) in her Hunter's garb ala those actors who dress up like their characters to visit sick patients in hospitals irl?

Cause out of the all the Hunters, Maria's fit is among the most fancy and she is really selling the "Girl Prince"/"Knight in Shining Armor" aesthetic with it so I can see her being really popular amongst the townspeople back in the heyday of the Hunters. So even after quitting the Hunt her Look probably inspired a lot of comfort for the patients who feel like they're drowning.

Genderfluid in the 18th century

Also super power, not a very good one…
