'You can't let her stab me k9, it's not legal' is possibly my favorite line from all the audios so far

Scene from Gallifrey Season 2: Imperiatrix. Absolutely loved injecting some action into this!

This is a "remastered" version of the first Gallifrey comic I made. I was short on time and decided to just shade it rather than do a full colour treatment (but in subsequent comics decided to drop the shading and do colour instead). Recently, with more time and a better grasp of the characters' features, I went back and reworked it – which is why it's fully shaded (not something I intend on keeping up!)

Below is the old version.

Annnd a few sketches:

i love the idea of romana's telepathy just being completely broken. what does it do to you if you live in a telepathic society and you can't defend yourself or regulate your telepathic abilities at all? what does it mean to not only be forced to expose yourself to the rest of the world but to accidentally intrude on other people's minds because you can't contain your telepathy properly? what does it mean to be one of the only time lords on the planet so uniquely defenceless and made so uniquely defenceless in such a brutal, traumatising way? nobody understands, but they sure do whisper about her... and she can't stop herself from hearing them.

Brax: Narvin, I’m sorry for what I did earlier. Narvin: How did you get in here? Brax: I’m not here discus your lack of home security. I’m here to apologize.

The handling of Gallifrey in new who is genuinely the funniest thing ever. The Doctor is given this huge tragic backstory about being the last of his kind and spends seven seasons mourning the loss of his beloved home. Than he triumphiantly manages to save Gallifrey as this huge moment to celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who. Hype about The Doctor's eventual return to Gallifrey builds up for two years. Than he gets back to Gallifrey and both The Doctor and Steven Moffat decided "Wait a minute this place fucking sucks actually. Clara is cooler than all you motherfuckers put together" and then two seasons later Chibnall blows it up again offscreen. Only on Doctor Who.

I admit, I don't know what came over me when I was painting this... but here is a crazy watercolour abstract Doctor Who painting from yours truly.

I really need to brush up on my circular gallifreyan.

[intuitive-revelations]

Ok, but consider...

You can't just give me a bunch of elite sheltered assholes in a domed, transduction shielded city associated with a destroyed 'homeworld' and not expect me to make connections.

(also sorry Rodan, you don't deserve to be giffed next to Lindy in any respect, let alone twice over)

😟 Who's Really the Sorriest Doctor?

When we think of an apologetic Doctor, the 10th Doctor immediately leaps to mind. But is he really the most apologetic incarnation? Here's a number crunch of all the times the Doctor has apologised ...

These are from televised episodes/telemovie only, using keywords like 'sorry,' 'apologise,' and 'apology.' Retracted apologies or those used for clarification haven't been included. Episodes counted in serials for classic era. And of course, there's not guarantee how many of these were genuine apologies ...

Key Observations

Most Apologetic Doctor (By Average): The 15th Doctor takes the crown with a whopping 4.67 apologies per episode. Though, given his short stint so far, there's still plenty of time for that to change.

The Usual Suspects: The 10th Doctor, unsurprisingly, ranks high with 2.79 apologies per episode. But the 11th and 13th Doctors nudge him aside with averages of 3.09 and 3.16, respectively.

Not So Sorry?: The 1st Doctor had a measly 0.70 apologies per episode. Grumpy and not in the least bit sorry about it.

The Rise of Remorse: There's a clear trend of increasing apologies as we move through the modern era. Recent incarnations (10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th) seem to be getting more in touch with their feelings.

The Sorriest of Them All: The Tenth Doctor might not be the sorriest on average, but with 145 total apologies, he's got the highest raw number of sorries.

Companion-Driven Apologies: Some Doctors apologise more depending on their companions. For instance, the 12th Doctor's high apology rate coincided with Clara and less so for Bill.

gallifrey: got some straight gas🔥😝 this strain is called "the time vortex" 😳 you'll be zonked out of your gourd💯

the doctor: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit

five minutes later: dude i think i just started hearing the flow of the universe

the master, pacing: the time lords are lying to us

[alltoowellsscarf]

Things I would do if I became the doctor who showrunner:

1. Bring back Gallifrey again

2. Make the doctor and the master kiss

3. Fucking blow up Gallifrey again two seasons later

Do you guys subscribe to the theory that (at least, starting in NuWho) the Doctor can, somewhat, subconsciously control his regenerations?

Like, of course, 8 wanted to be a warrior, so he became the War Doctor (I know that he drank a potion for that, but that might’ve just been lemonade according to the Target Novelization).

War wanted to be the hero, to earn the title, the Doctor, again, so he became 9.

9 wanted to be someone who was the perfect partner to Rose (human), so he became 10.

10, in his vanity, wanted his final regeneration to be young, so he became 11.

11, after all the heartache, wanted to be more distant (and also what they said in series 8), so he became 12.

12 wanted a kind, fresh start, so he became 13.

13 wanted to open up to someone, so she became 14.

14 wanted time to heal, so he split off 15.

This is not an original theory, and I'm not even saying that I buy into it fully it, but it's interesting. It would be interesting if the Doctor had a tiny bit of control over their regeneration (Romana did, somehow) and most of the time his wants either backfire or only half work.

What do you think?

The best thing a character can be is a woman who has something deeply wrong with her

[asuni-m]

Do you think, in Journey’s End, when Martha threatens to blow up the Earth to stop the Daleks, the Tenth Doctor has a flashback to him destroying Gallifrey?

And how Davros says The Doctor turns ordinary people into soldiers, he realizes it’s true. Because The Doctor was an ordinary person turned into a soldier and he did destroy is own planet to stop the Daleks. And Martha was going to follow in his path. A path he created first.

Do you think he saw himself in Martha? And all the things he’s ever done? All the deaths he caused? How, the only other planet he’s ever called home, was going to be destroyed by him, again?

How it was going to happen all over again, all because of him?

Cause I do.
