#Seventh doctor

[ID: a Reddit comment from u/kill-billionaires. It reads, "First they came for the timeothee chalamet impersonaters, and I did not speak out because I was not a timothee chalamet impersonater." /end ID]

Just saw a news article that cops shut down a timothee chalamet lookalike context in New York which is a very funny thing for police to do

Also, while I was preparing my commission sheet, I've found this drawing from last year, made for a "Doctor Who picture/drawing for every day of the year" in honor of the 60th of the show :) I still like this one and I'm not sure I've ever published it here, so here it is!

The Doctor, throwing their head into River's lap: Tell me I'm pretty!

River, lovingly stroking their hair: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are.

[thinkdoctorriver]

The Doctor: This date is boring!

River: This isn't a date. I said I was going to the store.

The Doctor: Then why did you invite me?

River: I didn't. I specifically said "don't come with me," then you said, "fuck you River. I'll do whatever I want!

River Song's Guide to Doctors 1-13, from A Short History of Everyone!

I wonder what was so scandalous about her entry about the Thirteenth Doctor that it had to be ripped out😳.

VNA #50 Happy Endings, Paul Cornell (1996)

Happy endings doesn't really have a plot. And it's a good thing. Focusing entirely on Bernice and Jason's wedding allows to really be a celebration of the range. It succeeds at two places were Steven moffat failed in modern tv who: delivering an engaging, rewarding wedding scene and bringing together characters from most past stories in the VNA range, and because the story has such low stakes, they all fit together nicely.

Sherlock Holmes getting worried that he isn't as good in an unfamiliar setting, the Isley brothers trying to learn about their future, the brigadier being old and vulnerable, and of course the complete congratulatory victory lap in the last chapters.

The main thing I have difficulty with is that we don't now Jason enough as a character and it sure feels really rushed and let's into a lot of mysoginistic tropes that plague every other chapter. Also the treatment of ace is weird. She would not use that other name, and if Paul Cornell remembered that gay people exist and we are served (Mike Yates, the Silurians, Sherlock, SaRa!qava, Richard etc) he definitely forgot about lesbians.

Roz also does almost nothing the whole book. Chris has the decency to have sex with not the timewyrm anymore but Roz has mostly nothing to do.

8/10 a very fun and comfy book but with some definitely icky aspect

Since i've started reading trough the vna again, here's my opinion about each and every one of them because it's my blog and i do what i want with it

VNA #1 Timewyrm: genesys (1991, John Peel)

Okay, this book is bad, like it's a disaster. The idea of "dr who meets gilgamesh" is pretty good on paper, but damn does this miss the mark at every term.

Every single scene with ace is gross mysoginistic mischaracterisation, Gilgamesh is insufferable, Ishtar is a completely uninteresting antagonist and her motives are cliché af.

At the very least, the stranded Anuans are an interesting twist and the introduction of avram makes for an interesting Change of Pace.

2/10, that was Five hours of my life i'm never getting back

What Would Have Happened If The Other Doctors Stepped on the "Boom" Land Mine

One: The land mine is diffused by the power of parental love much sooner. Splice and Mundy join the TARDIS team after he decides that Splice will be his next fill-in granddaughter.

Two: Plays the recorder instead of singing. Jamie attacks the ambulance with his knife as soon as it attaches the lines to the Doctor, and it's only Zoe that stops him from getting killed. The detonation happens much sooner because the Doctor gets antsy and plays with the fiddly bits.

Three: Expertly controls his blood pressure to stop a premature detonation. Tries to keep his companion far away, but they discover the land mine anyway. Takes the land mine with him after it is diffused to use for spare parts in the UNIT lab.

Four: "Harry, I'm standing on a land mine." Doesn't bother with a counterbalance and just stands on one foot for the whole episode. Snacks on some jelly babies while waiting for the right moment.

Five: Has an in depth conversation with Nyssa about how he is regulating his biology on a molecular level. They use a cricket ball from the TARDIS as a counterbalance, meaning that he never gets shot or targeted by the ambulance. One of his companions still ends up getting shot, at which point he falls over, immediately self destructs, and blows a giant hole in the planet.

Six: Gets far too irritated for his blood pressure to stay low. Could really do with some of Evelyn's cocoa right about now. The land mine blows up because he cannot calm down enough to disguise his presence.

Seven: A much longer conversation on how the Doctor is a complex space-time event. The countdown finishes, but the land mine doesn't blow because he had disarmed it at the beginning of the episode. The entire time, he was just pretending the land mine was live in order to teach his teenage companion a life lesson.

Eight: Forgets he's standing on a land mine and blows up. Gets into a passionate conversation with his companion about the war industry complex. Soliloquizes about life and death. Almost sacrifices himself in an inferno of self-loathing, but his companion saves the day.

War: His associates go back in time and extract him before he steps on the land mine. This new version of him continues fighting the Daleks while the time echo standing on the land mine is used to blow a hole in the nearby Dalek command ship.

Nine: Has flashbacks to the War while standing on the land mine but somehow manages to stabilize his blood pressure thanks to the presence of Rose and Jack. Jack manages to diffuse the bomb while he is on it thanks to his experience with Villengard tech.

Ten: "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Tries to convince his companion to evacuate as much of the population into the TARDIS as possible because they would be safe there. Almost lets himself blow up, but his companion forces him to find a way to survive.

Eleven: The mine blows up in about ten seconds because he can't stand still. The entire planet is blown to smithereens, but his friends are okay because he locked them in the TARDIS.

Twelve: Gets into mind games with Clara while she is trying to figure out what he is standing on. Clara tries to take his place, but he doesn't let her. Missy eventually shows up and disarms the land mine because she wants to be the one to kill him.

Thirteen: Only manages to stay still because the Fam calms her down. Is oddly stoic about the entire thing and disappears into the depths of the TARDIS for several days after it happens. She never brings it up again even though Yaz tries to get her to talk about it.

Fourteen: God damn it this guy is supposed to be retired. He's supposed to be having a break. He talks about how much he loves his companion and how so, so sorry he is that he can't fix this.

Fugitive: This is a normal Tuesday for her. Probably has some sort of anti-land mine device in one of her coat pockets.
