#Romanadevoratrelundar

[walks-the-ages]

Wiki page isn't very helpful so I have some random questions for the Doctor Who fandom:

1) where do the names Theta and Kochei (I'm probably spelling that wrong) come from in terms of referring to the Doctor and the Master during their.... Childhood/days in the academy? Are these their ""real"" names, or was it some kind of designation given to them by the Academy?

2) do we have any concrete guides on Time Lord abilities? Like, I know they're touch telepathic and can read/erase memories, but can they feel someone's emotions just by touching them? Ive heard of the "Respitory Bypass" ability that lets then survive strangulation, but was that just a throwaway line for plot drama, or does it ever go in depth about HOW it works? Do they start breathing through like, , their skin when their lungs stop working properly? Is it as Nine said, they can feel the rotation of planets when they're standing on them? Can taste time on objects as well as idenify their chemical makeup? (hence the Doctor constantly licking things)

3) uh,,,, did the Time Lords straight up murder the Second Doctor??????????? Like. Wtf. I know that.... Three(?) Was banished to earth for awhile, and that's why he was working with UNIT, but like. What on EARTH did Two do that was so bad???!?!?

4) Romanadevoratrelundar. I can almost guarantee you that I spelled that wrong. How come Romana and Rassilon do not have "title" names, like the Doctor and the Master do? Do other Time Lords have "regular" names instead of titles, or is it a mix? What's the deciding factor? Is it something to do with the Academy (which I know nothing about other than the name) or is it just a personal choice based on aesthetic preferences?

5) who/what is the Valeyard? I've seen them referenced before,but no lore or concrete answers. Are they an alternative regeneration of the Doctor? Are they an EVIL alternate Doctor?

6) last but not least, when do the Classic Who episodes become a more.... Modern format, is ever? We tried watching from the beginning with an Amazon prime free trial of Britbox, but my GOD. ADHD does NOT pair well with six, 40-minute "parts" of an episode, especially with Susan shrieking every five minutes lol. We TRIED watching in chronological order for awhile but that got very tiring very quick so we started skipping forward to mid-season, then next season, then the next doctor, etc, but it seems like every freaking Doctor has nothing but 6-parter episode storylines and I do not have the patience for that. We DID watch the Fourth Doctor's first episode and I already loved him in his first five minutes, but the pacing was very slow and our trial had run out. Any particular Doctors you guys reccomend for more condensed / ADHD-friendly storylines?

7) ALMOST FORGOT! So. The Sixth Doctor... He's the one in the rainbow coat, right? Didn't he try to freaking MURDER his companion because of Regeneration Sickness or something???

~ I can assure you, any answers to these questions can and WILL be used to write angsty/epic fanfiction :)

for the character thing: Romana (any or all incarnations)

I am most familiar with Romana II, bles you audios, but I think I could pull together a Romana I cosplay given a good dress, so... woo!

Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?Romana is a queen among queens and I love her. She is going to kick Gallifrey into shape!

What’s your favorite trait of this character?Waspish retorts and refusal to take anyone's shit. My goal in life is to graduate to Romana status.

What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?All of them?Yelling at Brax, yelling at Narvin, bonding with Leela, playing with the puppy fodder of the week (see: Andred, Wynter, Halland, etc), arguing with the Doctor... my favorite episode for Romana is probably "Spirit". Sweet bonding time with Leela X3

If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?You know, I might say being President of Gallifrey, but I've seen that job... and I don't want it. I gotta go back to the snark and commanding presence.

Have you ever pictured this character naked?Um... no, not really. I do picture her picturing Leela naked though...

When did you fall in love/hate with this character? If you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?Again, pretty much as soon as I met her. My first real introduction to Romana was in Neverland and she was as amazing then as she is now. Honestly, what's not to love about Romana?

Who’s your OTP for this character?I always flip flop between Romana/Brax and Romana/Leela. Uggghhh, I love them all so much. BABIES.

my cries of "ROMANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" can be heard from miles away

[isilienelenihin]

ROMANA YOU USE BIG WORDS.

[isilienelenihin]

Yes Doctor you can be a shepherd and frolick whilst your lovely companion does all the work.   Also these green people make me want to yell 'HULK SMASH' really loudly.

[isilienelenihin]

Xanxia is totally the best part of this episode.  Her argument with the Doctor is AWESOME and so much better than that parrot of Death (although I'd love to get my hands on one of those).  Also Romana just shot someone and HOW does she keep those white pants clean? 

[isilienelenihin]

'The Doctor knows what he's doing.'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh Romana I can tell you're a bit new at this. 

[isilienelenihin]

'By the left frontal lobe of the sky demon!'

Well, that's oddly specific.

[isilienelenihin]

Romana you are a classy lady and I approve.

Also K-9 is on some serious crack.
