#and then yaz comes back later wanting to see more

[foolishlyzephyrus]

i really think that ryan/graham should’ve been the first companions in 13’s era and then have yaz come later

[tohjwcc]

25/9

22 days left

realized this shit will be boring, so I'll just throw in a fic I wrote for Yasammyweek day something, "prom"

It's rly bad but I didn't put any effort into it. It was too bad to use for yasammyweek idk.

Under cut anyways

JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW, I am SO BAD at writing present/past time and present/past time only. Like, if it starts with "went" and "she did this or that" blablabla, there's a high risk it will switch to present time later on in the fic, just so y'all know. It can switch back and forth like that, so yeah.

(it's pretty... whatever, you go see for yourself if you want to haha, but my writing is pretty awkward)

Prom night

The night was finally here. Her prom night has finally arrived.

Yaz is trodding back and forth in her new bought black and Darkblue dress. Her prom starts in just 15 minutes, where is she?

It's a rule in Yaz's school that only people from that school and only college students were allowed to come to prom. But Yaz had been able to make the teachers make an exception just for her. She's not too sure how or why, but she's assuming it's because of THAT incident. After she got the good news, she immediately FaceTimed Sammy and dropped the big question. "Will you be my prom date?". Sammy, not surprisingly, screamed "YES! OF COURSE I WILL!" and here they are. Or, well, here Yaz is. Waiting and waiting for her girlfriend to show up.

Yaz decides to call her, but she doesn't pick up.

"Hm, weird" Yaz mutters to herself. "I'M usually the one who doesn't pick up..."

Right after that, she hears someone giggle behind her. "Hey, Yaz. Having fun talking to yourself?"

Yaz quickly turns around and is too stunned to speak when her eyes meet the beaming light from her prom date.

"Sammy, you're... you're beautiful, y- wha-, wow.". Sammy is wearing a long orange and red dress, and she has a headband that matches her outfit. Yaz studders, but Sammy only smiles and giggles slightly. "Thank you, Yaz. You don't look that bad yourself. One thing is missing though.." She walks up to her girlfriend and kisses her gently on the cheek. "There. Now your fit is complete" She teases.

Yasmina rolls her eyes jokingly and pretends to look offended, she scoffs "So you want me to walk around in school with a kissmark on my cheek now?". Sammy laughs and nudges Yaz with her hip "Ofc! That way everyone will know you're mine..." Yaz laughs at that and stretches out her arm to Sammy. "So...Shall we?". Sammy grabs Yaz's arm and smiles widely "We shall".

-

When they get inside, they are greeted by loud music and dancing people. They look around to see if they can find someone they know. But that mission failed. Miserably.

The music suddenly changed to a slow and still song. The girls saw everyone grabbing their partners, and started slow dancing with them.

Yaz looked shyly at Sam and rubbed her arm slightly before building up the courage to ask. "Do...Do you wanna dance?"

"I thought you'd never ask! You bet I want!". Sammy exclaimed excitedly.

Yaz stood up from the bench they had found, and held out a hand to her. Sammy grabbed it and they went out to the dance floor.

They stood face to face with eachother, both slightly unsure on what to do, but they took after what the people around them were doing. Yaz placed her hands on Sammy's shoulders while Sammy rested her hands around Yaz's waist. They start dancing slowly and easy. The more seconds passes, the closer to each other they get. Soon, it's only one centimeter between them. Them both smile wildly.

"Best prom night ever" Sammy said before the distance between them closes.

Yaz is cool as fuck and people don’t appreciate her enough, a very long ramble

TLDR because this is so long: yaz is really cool and a compelling character and not enough people talk about how good of a character she is, both with and without the doctor, enough

In the first episode we learn as soon as we meet her that yaz wants to help people. She is tired of getting parking disputes and wants something more serious, and after meeting the doctor immediately starts helping her even if she isn’t supposed to be, and later it’s implied (I don’t think it was ever confirmed?) that she originally became a cop because one helped her when she had ran away/was suicidal, maybe?

Throughout season 11 we see her be the most empathetic/caring (episode 3 with the racism Ryan specially was facing, episode 6 with her grandma’s first husband, episode 7 with dan from kerblam, 8 with the kid who’s grandma was killed for “being a witch”, 9 with the blind kid), and is also very loyal almost immediately (“more of the universe.. more time with you!” “No. I’m with you, whatever happens” and more I’m forgetting)

She also has a very similar sense of justice to the doctor, practically immediately and comes to share her view on a lot of topics (she was hesitant to take the gun in TPOTD, she wrote wwtdd(which is adorable btw) on her palm, she defended Tesla, stands up to the master, once again more I’m forgetting probably)- hell, when seperated from the doctor without instructions/for a long time she takes 13s place as leader

Circling back to loyalty: she spent 10 months obsessively trying to find the doctor, she slept in the second tardis, she probably (I think it’s implied?) neglected her own health, social life, and job (if she still had one at this point) just to obsessively try and figure out how that tardis worked, to figure out how to get back to the doctor

And that was after she walked into a portal to an alien planet, not caring about danger because it’s what the doctor would do if it were one of them (she was already half way there by the time Graham finished asking who was going first, walking quickly and had a very determined look on her face. I really do believe if it had come down to facing the master or cybermen she would’ve to ensure 13s safety), which btw, is one of my favorite scenes in the show

And then s13. Gods I think I could talk about yaz in season 13 and those last 3 specials for days. A) Dan is more her companion than docs, let’s be very clear- they spent 3 years trapped in an unfamiliar time together with yaz acting as the leader (see above about her taking on the Doctor’s role when the doctor isn’t there to)

She handles 13’s outbursts and venom astonishingly well through the whole series but esp in s13, when she is double guessing her identity and even more unwilling to share than before, like it’s downright elegant that yaz is able to ignore 13s jabs sometimes, cuz personally I would’ve thrown hands. Although she doesn’t let the doctor walk over her, she doesn’t just accept the bullshit, she argues with the doctor quite a bit (telling her she is fully at fault for the situation at the beginning of s13 ep 1, telling her to stop leaving them all the time, shoving her when she shows back up after the 10 months)

As mentioned before the “what would the doctor do” being written on her hand is a really good touch and it does well to show just how much yaz looks up to 13 and how much she loves her (a very much amount, like infinitely)

This is getting very long so I’ll try to wrap it up somewhat quickly. Anyway, I really love yaz’s coming out scene (although I detest Dan outing her), it feels very natural and is filled with a lot of great emotions that we don’t see her have very much- like, she cries! Yaz, while shown having emotions, isn’t shown sad very often (which considering she was depressed as a younger teen and might still be, could just be her repressing those emotions) and is shown as scared much less, it’s nice to see those emotions on display

Speaking of emotions on display: “stop leaving us” is one of my favorite scenes/lines. Getting to see just how anxious yaz gets when the doc leaves, just how much she hates being separated from her, is a really nice insight to how she thinks- the doctor has already left her twice before (neither times were her fault, though) so who’s to say it won’t happen again? Easier to stay by 13 than to be crushed by her disappearing without warning

(Also side note but after that the two don’t separate much/if at all, showing that the doc did genuinely listen to her)

I’ve heard people say that they didn’t enjoy Legend of the sea devils that much but personally I love it- both because holy shit they’re so gay, but also because it again demonstrates that yaz is genuinely so smart and capable and there’s really no wonder 13 fell for her so hard (because she did. 13 fell so hard) I also like that this episode shows that the two play off each other and trust each other a lot, even if they aren’t always in sync

And finally onto the power of the doctor! Yaz’s best episode by far and my favorite of the entire series!

Yaz. Is. So. Fucking. Amazing. In this episode. She really shines so much which is saying a lot because she usually shines anyway. She looks so ready to punch the master if only he’d give her a reason, ready to shoot him (maybe not fatally… maybe) if he threatens the doctors or her own safety

She openly defies him, she leaves him stranded on a planet and if not for the plan she might’ve never came back for him, she flies the tardis! All on her own! We can assume that the doctor helped teach her but how much of that knowledge is from those 10 months? (I like to think that the first time yaz helped fly it was completely by accident)

Do the doctor holograms share knowledge? Cuz if not, that implies that she figured out it can change interface on her own and used it in their/her plan.

She saves the doctor! Multiple times! Runs out towards a fucking laser to make sure she’s safe (another favorite scene), she flies everyone home while the doc rests and recovers, she is just so cool in this episode!!

And honestly, I hate her ending. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic that she survived, really truly fantastic, if they had killed yaz I’d have balled my eyes out and sworn doctor who off for a second time, but her ending? No.

I do not think she should’ve stayed with the doc, I believe she loved (romantically, she’d love every doctor platonically but) 13 only, she’d be traveling the stars with 14 or 15 but I think over time she would’ve slid into that grief, that the doctor is still there but hers isn’t. But just having to go back to normal life? Go back to her family and job and life? That’s bullshit

Graham and Ryan got the psychic papers, yaz could’ve too (which btw that’d make a fun spin off I think), or she could’ve gotten the doctors coat (which would’ve been the cutest thing ever), or even her sonic! (Least likely) but- nothing? Nothing? No!!

She and 13 should be allowed to be immortal space wives together (with river, maybe) and nothing bad should ever happen to them

[jupitersrising]

The next chapter of Survival of the Fittest is taking forever so I thought I'd include some fun facts about how the fic has changed over time. Because I like to talk about it but it doesn't feel necessary to put in the end notes.

Spoilers for all chapters of Survival of the Fittest

***

Originally, Yasmina wasn't going to be in a coma-like state until far later in the fic. I had a comphet lesbian storyline planned (which you can see hints of in earlier chapters) before S5 came out. After it felt wrong to go through with since she was confirmed bi, so I moved the other storyline up and gave her another conflict that will affect her soon!

The fic only had 20 planned chapters for the first couple months and was going to end when Ben reunited with the others. But I got so, so much support and love for it that I decided to continue a full series rewrite.

I always knew I wanted a character to lose a limb. But it's changed so much since the beginning. Originally, Kenji was going to lose his leg but that storyline got replaced with his addiction. (A story that I personally think was better for his character.) Then I decided on Darius. Still, he was going to lose his arm at the shoulder, then the elbow, before I finally moved it down to just losing his hand.

Ben was only going to kill Toro in the first draft and never any other dinosaur but as the rewrite got darker I wanted to include the other dinosaurs.

A few things that haven't changed since the first draft of the outline:

Sammy always killed someone, it's a really big part of her character arc throughout the story.

Darius always nearly drowns (though the setting has changed twice since the first outline).

The Beach (tm) scenes between Kenji and Ben. That's been planned since the beginning and some of the sections were written months in advance.

There's more little things too but those ones are the most fun. Most of the mental health issues, family issues, disorders, and injuries were planned since the beginning too.

Ben was really estranged from everyone in the first few drafts and it took him twice as long to interact fully with the others. The introduction of Brooklynn's friendship actually had me switching up the group dynamics a lot.

I have an (short, unfinished) unreleased snippet of Kye and Kenji's relationship before camp. Basically what happened the night he might have died and the fallout of it right up until camp starts.

There's a throw away line about a controversy Brooklynn was in just before camp, if you can remember, this will come back later. I'm so excited about it!

In the worst version of this story, Bumpy was going to die and truly make Ben go feral. Then I decided against any main character death, so no, she won't die. But it was a thought for a while.

Despite spending the so little time together in the show, Brooklynn and Ben's friendship is one of my favorites to write. Along with Sammy and Ben getting closer since Yaz's illness. I intended for Ben and Darius to have the closest friendship but they haven't gotten there yet. There's a lot of stuff they have to work out. (Yaz is still is platonic soulmate tho, don't worry).

Sorry the next update may take a bit to get out but I hope you enjoyed reading some random notes I never included!

Good Girl (13th Doctor x f!Reader)

Synopsis: You had trouble when the Doctor said a certain phrase

Words: 2.1k

Warnings: praise kink

The first time she’d done it, it was like your brain had short circuited. You froze, not sure what to do with yourself. Your skin felt overheated and your breath caught in your throat. Your fingers clenched and only later would you find the half moon imprints on your palm left over from the bite of your fingernails.

“Good girl.”

The murmur of the Doctor’s voice, typically quiet, echoed in your ears. It rang through your head. She wasn’t even looking at you, already distracted. All you’d done was make a suggestion, wanting to help her as much as you could. It had been said softly, barely more than a whisper, not something to be heard by another person. You weren’t sure she’d even meant to say it.

A nudge from Yaz’s elbow had brought you back, rebooting your brain. She slipped her hand through your arm, guiding you after the Doctor as she prattled on, spiralling off from your initial idea.

“You okay?” she asked, keeping her voice quiet.

“Perfect,” you replied, not needing anyone to know what had happened.

The second time she’d done it, you knew she hadn’t been talking to you. After a long adventure with entirely too much running, she’d agreed to take you all home. She’d been at the console for longer than usual, hands stroking over parts of it, mumbling to herself.

“Good girl.”

The pride in the Doctor’s voice when they landed was palpable. Your knees turned to jelly and you had to grasp on to some of the railing to stay upright. Butterflies fluttered in your stomach and your mouth turned dry. You couldn’t tear your eyes from her, despite her back being to you. You were surprised by how much you wanted to see her lips form the words.

“Come on, you lot,” she said, barely offering a glance over her shoulder before bounding out the doors.

Ryan clapped you on the shoulder, pushing you forward with a soft shove. You stumbled over your own feet, trying to reconnect your brain to the rest of your body. The fresh air helped clear your muddied mind.

The third time she’d done it, you’d been curled up on one side of the sofa, late at night, alone with her on the other. A strangled noise fought its way out of your throat, no matter how hard you tried to keep it quiet. You pressed your thighs tightly together, your book lying forgotten in your lap.

“Good girl.”

The Doctor’s voice was rough, tired, like sandpaper, and you could feel it scrape against your skin. You’d been reading out loud to her, a quiet murmur in the late hour. She’d asked you to stop, her praise given for your silence.

Her eyes turned up to you, widening barely a fraction of an inch. You felt your cheeks heat up and you ducked your head. She wasn’t meant to have heard, you didn’t want her to have heard. Your fingers tapped against the pages of the book. She shifted, the sofa cushions compensating for the change. A warm hand landed on top of yours, stilling your fingers.

“I should probably go to bed,” you said, the words quick on your tongue, “it’s late and I’m sure you have something wonderful planned for tomorrow.”

You stood, abrupt enough for her to fall back from you. You can’t bear to look at her as you hurried out of the room.

The fourth time she’d done it, you were treading water, struggling against the roiling waves of the ocean. Your hair was plastered to your head and adrenaline was still coursing through your veins. Your laughter cut off and you thought the sea might turn to steam where it touched your skin. You shivered, her arms holding on to you, keeping you from drifting away.

“Good girl.”

You’d always been good at following instructions. Jumping off the cliff at the Doctor’s shouted command had been one of the wilder ones you’d followed but you trusted her with your life. Still gasping from the rush, the words had come tumbling from her lips. Water drops clinging to her skin, her eyes were bright and her smile was wide.

She was so close, her arms around your waist. Your hands were resting on her shoulders and having her so close as those words came from her lips was both heaven and hell. She was watching you and you were finding it hard to catch your breath.

“I do appreciate when people can follow instructions,” she said, still grinning that beautiful grin, “surprisingly rare but a good skill to have. I wish everyone had your skills. Good skills. Brilliant skills. Brilliant person.”

“Thank you.”

A wave buffeted you both. She grinned, letting you go and making her way to shore. It took a moment for your brain to kick back in, to remember how to use your arms and legs appropriately. The cold water was the best thing for you in that moment.

The fifth time she’d done it, you knew she did it on purpose. Your teeth sunk into your bottom lip and your breath stuttered in your chest. Hands resting on the counter either side of your waist, caging you in, her eyes were dark, tongue darting out to wet her lips as she watched you.

“Can I try something?”

You hadn’t heard the Doctor come into the kitchen, turning around sharply. You were the only one in the TARDIS, the others back home with family relaxing, and you had assumed she was busy doing her constant repairs. But there she was, hands on her hips, looking at you with those eyes you found it hard to say no to.

“Sure,” you said, not sure what you were agreeing to.

Her steps were slow and steady, almost predatory, as she approached you. You froze, not sure what to do. It was as if she was pinning you down with one look. Her hands came up, trapping you against the counter. She lent closer, her breath ghosting over your lips.

“Good girl.”

The words were said with purpose. Enunciating each syllable as if they were a loaded gun. She watched your reaction, her own breathing becoming heavier, chest brushing against yours. Gaze dropping to your lips, something in her seemed to shift.

“Interesting,” she murmured.

“What is?” Your words were little more than an exhalation of breath.

“Your reaction to being called a good girl.” Her eyes swept down then back up, “you thought I wouldn’t notice but I have.”

You pressed your lips together, embarrassment rising in you. You thought you’d been doing so well keeping it under wraps. You’re been trying so hard.

“I notice everything about you,” she continued on as if not saying something sanity smashing, “I wonder if you’d have the same reaction if someone else called you a good girl.”

You made a strangled noise but shook your head, heat creeping over you. It was almost impossible to believe you were having this conversation with her, with the Doctor. Her gaze rested on your lips again, eyes growing molten.

“Yes, that was the noise that made me begin to realise,” she said, more to herself than you.

With a featherlight touch, her fingertip grazed over your lips. You didn’t mean for it to happen, but you whimpered, eyes fluttering closed. You heard her breath hitch, fingers stilling on your skin. You couldn’t bear to open your eyes to her, to let her see exactly how she was effecting you.

“I hope you don’t react this way if other people call you a good girl,” she murmured.

Your knees felt as if they were about to buckle. Your fingers grasped the edge of the counter, clenching painfully. Your breathing was ragged and there was a persistent throb between your legs.

The fingers were removed from your lips. You tensed, not sure what was going to happen next. Warmth grew closer and a pair of lips brushed against the shell of your ear.

“Good girl.”

With a strangled moan your eyes shot open. You released the edge of the counter and grasped her face between both hands. Pressing your lips against hers was electrifying. Every nerve ending was standing to attention and you were gasping into her mouth. She took a step closer, her body pressing against yours and it was too much and not enough and your head was spinning.

Strong hands pressed against your lower back, those powerful arms encircling your body. Her tongue swept into your mouth, taking charge as you whimpered, clutching at her. It was better than you’d dreamed and surpassed your hopes, hot and intense and desperate. She was kissing you like you were the air she breathed and she’d been starved for too long.

She lifted you until you were sitting on the counter, legs caught either side of her hips. Your fingers slipped into her hair, tugging on it. The moan that rumbled through her chest had you losing any semblance of control you had. All you could do was kiss her, wanting to feel her everywhere.

Her lips pressed to the soft skin behind your jaw, gently nipping at it. Your head was swimming. Her tongue was tracing patterns down the column of your neck and you held on to her, needing more, always more, encouraging every scrape of teeth against skin.

She kissed you again, slower and deeper, taking her time to explore. You were putty in her hands, turning into a mess as her tongue stroked along yours. Her fingers gently skimming along the skin of your back, worming under your shirt. You arched into her, feeling that same electricity run along your skin. There was something about her touch that had you addicted, needing more, needing it forever.

By the time she drew away you knew you were more puddle than person. You whined, trying to pull her back into a kiss. She chuckled and it made you feel warm all over. Those eyes of hers were still smouldering and her lips were kiss stung. Hair in disarray and colour high on her cheeks, she looked more beautiful than a sunrise. You wanted to kiss her again.

“Fascinating,” she murmured, running her fingertips along your lips again. You kissed them, watching the way her face lit up.

“Is it?” It was hard to concentrate with her standing between your legs and her fingers on your skin.

“I don’t think you understand exactly how fascinating I find you,” she said, her voice molten, “you’re always surprising me in new ways.”

“I am?” It was like the world was shifting underneath you.

“Just when I think I have a handle on you, you do something so wonderful I can’t help myself. I want to know everything about you. I want to praise you.” Her voice dropped an octave and you shivered, “you’re so good.”

Your legs instinctively tightened around her. A look of delight lit up her face and it made your heart miss a beat. She was so wonderful.

“Is it like this with other people?” she asked, fingers traced patterns over the top of your thighs. It was making it hard to concentrate on the conversation.

“Is what like this?” you asked.

“Does this happen with everyone who praises you?” she asked.

“No.” You bit down on your lower lip, “just with you.”

“Why?” Her head tilted to the side, eyes sweeping over you again.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a bit of a crush on you,” you said, “only you.”

Wonder lit her up from the inside out. You could see how her eyes sparkled, brightening from the smoulder she’d been directing at you. A matching grin spread over your face as she continued to look at you as if you were a galaxy spiralling before her eyes.

“Kind of leaving me hanging here, Doc,” you said as the silence continued to stretch.

“Oh, right, yes, of course. I think you’re amazing. The bee’s knees. The cat’s pyjamas. Just the best. Absolutely brilliant. Mind blowing. You blow my mind,” she said, “and I can’t stop thinking about you. You’re always in my head. I’d tell you to get out but it’s quite nice having you in there. You can stay. I’d like you to stay.”

“Doc?”

She looked at you with such hope in her eyes. Your fingers, still tangled in her hair, gently tugged her closer.

“You can just kiss me again,” you told her.

You weren’t the only person who could follow instructions.

audio commentary of potd pt 1:

the bullet train bit at the start initially was the idea for a new years episode but they couldnt get like the sets in time so they had to rethink. the scene we see in potd was basically like the climax of that would-have-been episode

jodie: the really handy thing about these is that the masks steamed up within seconds of putting them on. fgkjhgkjgh

it's the first time mandip is seeing the episode this is like a month before they aired it? chris asks if it's like she imagined and shes like no it's way quicker (thatd be because they cut out hALF THE LINES no im kidding im kidding fghkjhh)

this episode wasnt even gonna exist? they were gonna do six episodes of flux and two specials and then when they'd just started filming flux (start of 2021?) they got asked to do another one for the centennary/to give the next team a bit more time

calling up sophie and janet to ask them to come back they both said like "i think tegan would be big friends with ace" "i think ace would be massive friends with tegan" like separately <3

about ace's costume: mandip: we both had doc martens on! so, yaz is cool, as well jodie: (just making it about you.) (youre not in this scene this isnt about you)

jodie stole the little ashad from timeless children

jodie asks if chris had ever any ideas to kill of any of the companions and he says no but both john bishop and bradley walsh asked if they could be killed off?? and he was like no guys this is about yaz and the doctor

"this lovely street in wales that is not liverpool" <3

during that reunion scene with ace and tegan, chris talks about how in 70s 80s doctor who and unit and how he hadnt really realised while doing it that what theyve ended up with here is that like every leading character in unit is a woman now? he talks about how like the doctor becomes a woman and you can then sort of see the full effect of that in the reunion scene here where it's just like all women

jodie about the reunion scene: i always wanted to react as 13, but then only in this episode i was met with people who had interacted with other doctors. so do you try and react in a way appropriate for them and their doctor? but i always wanted to do 13. it was always a bit complicated especially later on with the ai.

chris asked who were their favourite guest stars to work with and the entire conversation derails into just listing everyone and saying how much fun they had

jodie obviously has seen the full episode before this and she keeps teasing mandip abt it like going "oh we talked over half that scene now you have no any idea of whats going on" and then at the scene where the master talks to ace and tegan from the unit jail she slaps her like "watch this watch this watch this this is a good bit watch this!" and they watch a bit in silence and then chris goes "you just shushed her in a commentary to go 'watch this this is a really good bit'" it's specifically the bit where ashad grows and all the cybermen come out and mandip goes "oh that is good" and then she goes "you know like those russian dolls you get where they all fit inside each other" and jodie goes "thats what it is" and chris goes "thats the plot" im looosing it

jodie slapping mandip again about the rasputin scene "watch this" they watch a bit of the scene and then chris giggles and mandip goes "whens his bit coming on" chris: youre just pointing at the screen, jodie. it's at the end of the scene jodie: oh. chris: hes explaining the plot jodie: oh hes explaining the plot chris: and then hes gonna play the music thats how it works

Things I dont understand on dwtwt

Chris and Jodie killed the show… But did they? Disney+ decided to sink a bunch of money into it and its now expanding and becoming a Whoniverse.

If this was any other show people would be talking about how well it must have done for studios like Disney and the BBC wanting to pour more money into it and expand the universe. Studios don’t put money into dead properties. Half the time they wont put money into a show that is critically well received so I don’t see why they would put money into a show that was ‘killed’. Do people not understand the definition of killed?

People are constantly talking about the lost of viewer numbers, usually in the over night viewing figures, never addressing the fact that the way we view content now vs 2018 is extremely different. There are so many more streaming services now then there were in 2018 and there has been a heavy shift to streaming because of the amount of content offered vs broadcast TV. And of course we also went through a global pandemic that had everyone locked in there homes moving even more people to streaming especially an older generation.

This meant, not only did people not have to watch the show when it aired because it was easier to catch up later, but people had access to more choice over all.

Next… when quoting the viewer numbers they also don’t discuss where Doctor Who sits in most watch show of the day/week/month, which is often similar to other series. All broadcast TV has had overnight viewership go down due to there being more choice since streaming took off. No one is saying other shows are dying because viewer figures are down because they aren’t, the landscape has just change and so the measure of success has changed.

Also comparing Doctor Who in 2022 when there is countless other content to watch vs 2008 when there may have been 5-10 channels is comparing apples to oranges. [side note: Someone noted there was definitely more then 10 channels in 2008, I’m in the land down under so our free to airs channels are/were 7, 9, 10, SBS and ABC, there was/is second versions of these channels who played the content a set amount of time after it air on the original channel. It would make since the UK had/has move channels then us as it’s a larger media landscape.]

The other thing I also hear a lot is that merchandise sales went down dramatically… I have never seen a source for this but if we take it on face value as a truth, could it be because again there was a GLOBAL PANDEMIC… a lot of countries went into recession, lots of people lost their employment and therefore their income, lots of people were dealing with being sick and death, and we have had massive world wide supply chain issues with everything and it wouldn’t be surprising if a lot of the merchandise is made in countries like China that just completely shut down. So the last 3 years we have gone through a major shift in income, priority and supply which is only stabilising now.

And the annoying thing is the numbers will change and these same people will be like “oh yay the show was saved” not acknowledging we are no longer in the height of a global pandemic, employment has gotten better with places reopening and so earning disposable income and the fact that they are sinking way way way more money into Doctor Who so if it didn’t do better that would actually be a problem because when you sink more money in you have to make more money back.

Chris, Jodie, 13, Yaz, Thasmin and even the stories, none of it killed the show, even if there are people who don’t like it. Most regular viewers are probably not thinking about it so deeply, or on Twitter discussing their feelings. They are having 45min-1hour of fun with the Doc and her friends.

Anyway dwtwt is super confusing.

If you got to the end of reading this thanks for coming to my Doctor Who wasn’t killed Ted Talk 😂

So

Ep 6

now you might be wondering

cause there isn’t a avatrice interaction in ep 6

or is there?

may i present the last 5 mins of ep 6

when Bea show up and pick up Mary

(I would like to headcanon Bea volunteered to come all the way to pick up Mary not only because Mary is her friend but because she suspects Mary already found Ava and she wanted to see her)

And I would like to think that I’m right(Bea your gay is showing people don’t just stared at your left mirror standing like that)

Look the Mary’s face when Bea asks is Ava coming 

She knows.

Mary, probably:

Anyway now back to ep 7

before i talk about the “Beatrice is a badass” scene 

Two things i wanna talk about 

One

How do I know Mary knows something is up with Beatrice and Ava?

One episode later she basically compared what Shannon is to her 

To what Ava is to Bea 

“Letting Duretti get away with murder”

That’s 100% about Shannon

Now we all know who Shannon is to Mary ;)

The fact that she used their relationship and tried to convinced Bea hey you gotta do something you girl friend might die if you don’t 

Yeah she knows definitely 

And Two, this conversation between Bea and Camila

fun fact, Camila is this first one to call Beatrice Bea 

I would like to headcanon that whenever Bea were tasked to train new recruits, in order to make them feel more comfortable, at some point Beatrice would let them call her Bea as is sign of closeness(Kinda like a “ My name is Yasmin Khan but my friends call me yaz situation)

Or is just Camila being Camila 

either way is cute asf 

and I love that Ava after being trained by Bea for two months calls her Bea most of the time too

just look them IM-

Remember when I said that she is not good at initiating physical contact yet her love language is physical touch?

This is what I meant 

There’s still a slight hesitation but she definitely are more comfortable here

make sense cause she did know Camila longer compare to Ava

plus Bea is her mentor/mum 

Beatrice and Camila is THE softest duo istg

Now

on to the famous “beatrice is a badass” scene 

Got nothing to say except yes Ava I agree she IS a badass

Look at how Ava admires Beatrice awwww

Tbh same girl seeing Bea kick ass like that does things to me too

Bea calling out(? sister Crimson’s next move 

Coolest shit I seen(at least one of them there are plenty of cool scenes in the show

Also that outfit?????

They never missed with Bea’s casual outfit 

Whether is in S1 or S2

Not a single one look bad 

I swear imo every outfit deserves to be show off in a fashion show or something 

And that side kick(? Damnnnnnn girl 

She really likes to side kick people 

(Anyone who know what this move is called I know nothing about martial arts)

And she looks cool doing it 

We can also see the kid Ava showing 

Look at her smile I’m-

girl must think that Beatrice is really cool and reminds her of those action heros she used to saw on TV

Just pure admiration from Ava

Now some people think that the halo is sentient 

Some think that it only acts as a tool and the one whos in change is the halo bearer 

Personally I’m leaning towards the halo is just a tool the one who’s in control is the user

And how powerful it can be is up to the bearer

Because in ep 3 when she is tied to the table 

I’m guessing all she’s thinking is how to free herself

And the halo reacted to her thoughts by phasing her though the bed, freeing her

I think the same happened here 

All she is thinking is how to save Beatrice and Mary

From the trajectory of the bullets(the slow mo at the end of the gif )

Is going the opposite side from where Mary and Bea is

Here’s a chart(? I draw to demonstrate this

(Handwriting reveal?)

Anyway my point is

Ava and Mary’s sibling dynamic is real 

And Ava might be a cocky little shit (affectionate) towards Mary sometimes but she cares about Mary

Next we see that Ava got shot by an arrow

And Bea rushing to her side immediately 

No thoughts just 

All hail protective Beatrice 

Oh also has this been done before

Now something that I noticed from the walk to the van I want to talk about

One 

Bea putting her hand on Ava’s waist to support her

Two 

How she practically jumped on the van to check on Ava

And it doesn’t end

Baby girl checked not once but twice on Ava’s wound

I can hear Camila going 

Bea? Did you just check her wound twice???

Now this could just be a simple error 

They accidentally included an extra shot

But being the overthinker that I am

I would like to believe Bea was so worried about Ava that she had to check twice

This scene is giving Clarke Griffin from the 100 coming to Lexa’s room and change her perfectly fine bandages to a random cloth just so she could talk to Lexa

Bea chill out she’s not gonna die she can heal herself 

Anddd that’s it for today 

Tmr is gonna be a long one

And it might get personal too but who knows 

Stay tuned to find out :)

[ilivemydreamsthere]

Hello there!

60-year special make me come back. I also decided to post and show you what I am working on.

For those who don't know me, I was the one always obssesing about Missy version of the Master. This story starts right after the Grace funeral. It will be a centrally longer story planing on 12 chapters.

Tw : Doctor has a panick attack.

I am again obssed with Missy and her love for the Doctor...

Take this like just little sneak peak....

----------

Of lost years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds.

She had seen too many funerals. She stayed hidden in the corner. She wasn't in fact thinking of Grace and Graham when she should. Her mind was racing.

She lost so many people. Oh so many.

Rose, Donna , Wilfred, Amy, Rory ….River, Master …Missy.

Every thought on every name hurts. She never grieves over people she lost, she usually just tries to move away and keep a smile on face. Any face she was wearing.

She felt tears on face and couldn't anymore listen to people speaking of Grace no. She looked outside and her lips left gasp for air. People didn't look at her, everyone lost in their own grief.

Was it what she thought it was? Or was it just a shadow?

Definitely just a shadow she couldn't see right?

She hid her face in her hands for a moment. She had to be dreaming there is no possibility she would see her, right?

“Doctor?” The voice brings her back minutes later from her own mind. She could feel a gentle touch on her arm. She looked up and saw the hazelnut eyes of Yaz.

“Are you alright?”

“Me? Definitely. I am alright “ She shakes head and stands up. “I should go. Before any of you get hurt. All I do is hurt people “ She said wiping her own tears from face.

Yasmine watched her and pulled her in a hug for a short moment. “You aren't hurting people. I am sure you do more than that.”

Doctor for a moment allowed herself to be held. She felt for a single moment. “I should leave Yaz” She whispered more to herself than Yaz. She bit her lips and let the girl go. She shakes head and leaves the room. She needed air. It suffocated her. She walked out quickly without looking back.

She felt how her chest started to hurt. If she would be a human she would be sure it's her heart. But right now she knows. That feeling which was so close to overcoming its huge anxiety and guilt. All feelings she tries to stop herself from feeling.

She rushed inside her Tardis and leaned about the door from inside. There she allowed herself to feel it. Her lips left a long scream of pain and all these gathered feelings and she hit the door with both fists.

She felt tears in her eyes which were about to spill and the Tardis made a long beeping sound trying to calm her Doctor.

Then a soft knock on the door came. “Doctor, are you here? Can you come out please. “

She sighed when she heard Yasmine with others. She didn't want to go anywhere. She mumbled words in old Gallifreyan language. She took a long , shaky breath and opened the door after she stood up.

“Doctor…we come say goodbye “ Graham spoke and pulled Doctor to hug. He spoke quietly. “It's not your fault I know it's not “ He said quietly and when he let her eyes meet.

“Yaz said you are wanting to just disappear on us. “ Rayn spoke as he crossed his arms a little.

Doctor shaked head and she wanted to say more but when all four of them shared a hug she couldn't tell the difference. “Do you really wanna go with me to see the universe and see stars?” She asked the question and when they spoke back she had to smile. They wanted to go with her.

She chuckled little “that will give you a bit of shock come in “ She spoke and opened Tardis door. The tardis make another noise. Noise which doesn't seem to be such a distress like a moment back. More like humming.

“Welcome to the Tardis. And don't be shocked, it's indeed bigger on the inside!” She said and let all of 3 of them in. “Fam …you should wait “ She rushed to the control panel and pulled for some levers and characteristic noise came out of the Tardis rotor. She smiled hearing it.

“I will show you the way to your room when you are here with me. And I…” Doctor looks for the right words, her eyes still on the sensor on the control panel. There was someone in her own room. There were very few people who could be here and Tardis would let them inside.

“I need a long shower!” She said smiling “come on!” She said talking to them in many Tardis corridors. “Yaz you first!” She said and her voice echoed by the hall.

The girl opened the door and her eyes widened “I love that!” She said stepping in the room. Doctor smiled and Tardis still could modify it to people she decided to bring in.

“Graham there and yours here Rayan “ She said, showing on both doors. “I need my shower. My room is far to this hall at the end “ She explained and left both boys and Yasmine behind. She walked quickly. When she open the door of her room she gasped a little. There was no one. The room was empty. Having the huge bed in the middle of the bed was a huge library. She walked slowly to bed. Then she heard a voice from the corner where the door to the bathroom was located.

“You finally could afford the upgrade?”

She closed her eyes and she was sure she was dreaming imagining.

“You aren't here. “ She spoke back, her voice lower. The tears were about to spill out again.

“Oh I am indeed here my dear Doctor “ The voice continued and became more surprised as the Doctor sat on the ground and hid her face as if she wouldn't want to look at her. She basically wrapped herself in the fetal position not wanting to hear or rather didn't want to believe that she is in fact here and alive.

Doctor could feel hand on her shoulder and then feel the weight of the hug. No more words were spoken for a moment till she didn't look up, meeting the familiar eyes of Missy.

“It's a post regeneration mess or you really can't be without me…” The teasing voice trailed off when she realized the blonde in her arms is in fact crying. Missy didn't think just traced her fingertips on the Doctor's face. “Shhh I am alive. You won't get rid of me easily. Don't speak just ..” Missy decided immediately and leaned down a little more her lips touched Doctors and her fingers gently moved to her hair. She kind of expected the Doctor would hit her but the hit didn't come. Doctor decided immediately she slowly put her arms around Missy and now they had been holding each other in embrace and the kiss made it even better.

“So I am not dreaming, will you stay travel to the stars with me ,” She spoke against her archenemy lips.

“Yes. I will. But first get up Doctor, you know well after regeneration you need to rest. Or you will pass out and from what I understood you saved these little humans again. “ She spoke, helping her up slowly and then in bed.

Doctor kicked down shoes and pulled down her coat. “Be here when I wake up if you won't. I will track you in the end of universe and ….” She closed her eyes and opened them quickly. “And what killed me ?” Missy chuckled a little bit.

“Killing! Don't…I have 3 humans on Tardis. Be nice for once, would you for me?” The doctor asked before her eyes closed and Missy knew she had hours before the Doctor would be up to talk with her. She smiled for herself. This will be a ride. She knows it will be.

Thasmin Watching P.1 (DW Magazine stuff)

Ok so I’m posting the “Thasmin Watching” from the DWM (only for series 11 today, sorry. The rest will follow in a few days ). Most of them are just quotes from the show but their is some goodies! ^.^

I put a “read under” because it’s quite long with the pics!

"The Doctor: "Come on, Yaz. I'm calling you Yaz cos we're friends now"."

"It's very early days for the Doctor and Yaz here - yet, in hintsight, there's a sense that the Doctor is treating Yaz as more of an equal than she does the others. They're clearly taking delight in each other's company - abeit quietly at this stage."

"When Yaz worries about sitting in the 'white' bus seats, across the aisle from the Doctor and Graham, the Doctor fonds it hard to meet her eyes, then share an unhappy glance."

"Najia: "Are you two seeing each other?". Doctor: "I don' think so. Are we?" Yaz: "We're friends." Then Later... Yaz: "I want more. More of the universe. More time with you. You're like the best person I've ever met"."

"Yaz's attempts to share the Doctor's enthusiasm for the ship's antimatter drive, which she freely admits she doesn't understand at all, are very sweet."

"Thasmaniacs may divine their own reasons why Yaz can't talk to Nani about her own taboo-busting romantic life. The Doctor's sudden impassioned outburst - "We can't have a universe with no Yaz" - also provides food for thought."

Ok but "Thasmaniacs"? Is this how we call it now? XD It genuinely make me laugh to read it with my own eyes in an official book!

""Doctor can I make a request?" says Yaz. "Always," the Doctor replies. (Though not all requests will necessarily be granted, of course)."

"Yaz was bullies at school by one Izzy Flint, who "turned the whole class against me". Is it possible that prejudice against Yaz's sexual orienation played a role in Izzy's animus against her?"

"Yaz's suggestion that the Doctor could maybe try to "reverse the polarity" is a nice moment, unwittingly harking back to a trick that always served the Doctor well, particularly in his third incarnation. "Tasmin Khan, you speak my language!"."

"The Doctor wants Yaz to go to Paltraki's ship. "No," Yaz telle her. "I'm with you. Whatever happens."."

"Yasmin doesn't like it when the Doctor goes quiet and doesn't want her to face the Dalek alone. They had fun together on New Year's Day 1801, discovering the dawrf planet, Ceres, with Guiseppe Piazzi. The Doctor introduces Yaz as one of her best friends."

That’s it for today! I’ll try to post series 12 and 13 maybe not tomorrow but very soon :) Please don't repost my pics, and don't forget to reblog, it’s what keeps fandoms alive. ^^

[theburningsunset]

my adhd can't chill tf down enough to sleep so may i present this (uhhh spoilers for new-who):

Everything in Doctor Who that ought to be fixed and why:

Any time the doctor shows racism, queerphobia, sexism, ableism, classism, etc. Unless a specific prejudice of Gallifreyan society exists, it would never make sense for the Doctor to be bigoted, even the one from the '60s

Related: when Thirteen breaks the Master's perception filter so the nazis would see he's a man of color and thus endanger him—the Doctor would never.

Completely abandon former companions. Maybe some, maybe originally, but even 2000 years of lessons learned later? The Doctor is a good man, abandonment is too inconsistent with his characterization to be a reoccurring, unchallenged trait.

Wiping Donna's memory. Cruel, erased her character arc and was not a fulfilling or meaningful end. Either kill her or have her decide to retire.

The convoluted reason the Ponds were stuck in 1939 New York. C'mon, if I tried for five seconds I could come up with a sensical reason why the Doctor never saw them and they were stuck. Or just don't make them stuck 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe they decide to adopt and retire to avoid danger to the kid but the Doctor and River still regularly visit.

The "War Doctor". Showrunners confirmed this only existed because Christopher Eccleston refused to come back for the 50th Special (no shade to his choice). It might've backfired or seemed disrespectful of Chris's performance, but they should've simply recast Nine for it.

Just throw out Kill the Moon, it was bad writing, the heavy-handed abortion allegory was exhausting and weird (regardless of intentionality) and I don't usually cry "but the science!" but...the moon being gone, even if soon after it replaced itself, would cause apocalyptic destruction on Earth and possibly wipe out humanity. The primary salvageable bit that I think is integral is the Twelve/Clara fight at the end.

Danny Pink either doesn't die or doesn't stay dead. The paradox it would cause for him to die before him and Clara have kids when her and Twelve have MET those descendants and been on two separate adventures down that family line is irreconcilable. Full stop.

Bill doesn't die. The end. (Do NOT bury your fucking gays)

Don't have Graham be the last white seat on the Rosa episode, for fucking christ's sake. Plus where the fuck is at least the mention of Claudette Colvin?

Fourteen regenerates into Thirteen's clothes, following well-established rules of regeneration (BBC were cowards for breaking that just to sidestep having David Tennant "crossdress")

Headcanon bits that aren't necessarily tied to quality/consistent writing but I think would've been great:

The Doctor does find Melody. Maybe only by age six or so, if wanting to keep the Silence story intact, but rework Let's Kill Hitler to avoid the Mel situation. It makes me sad that they never got their baby back. She can still turn out to be River, maybe the regen into River only happened post season-six, keeping the reveal. Maybe Melody was eventually re-kidnapped by the Silence and then turned into River Song, or maybe Melody was always a kind of troubled trouble-maker and took on the River Song alias on her own.

Thirteen and Yaz absolutely get together.

keep in mind I haven't finished Thirteen's run (the stink of neolib BS from the Rosa Parks episode tanked my interest in keeping up until Chibnall fucked off), haven't seen the 60th Special yet, still have 20-something seasons of Classic Who to go, and don't remember everything I have seen, nor am I always right. I think on re-watch I'd find more issues but for now it's the list I've got that exactly zero (0) people asked for.

JWCC Characters' Daemons

So I really wanted to talk about why I chose certain daemons for each of the characters. both because I spent a lot of time on it and because I think it would be interesting. You don't have to read the fic for this to make sense...probably. Kinda spoilers for the fic though, if you want to read it, I suggest finishing that first then coming back to this. :)

Yasmina "Yaz" Fadoula:

First she is a pronghorn antelope, which as said in the fic, is the second fastest land animal in the world. They're about the size of a normal deer, if a bit smaller and a tan-ish color with horn hence the name.

She settles very, very young as Yaz as a character is assure of herself throughout the show. it's only later that we see her get nervous and doubt herself. She's not exactly cocky in the beginning but she knows what she wants and goes for it.

The pronghorn is supposed to be both a symbolism of her youth when she settled (he's always clumsy and too big "not fitting into his limbs") too young. Staking all her claims on something before she truly knew herself.

As it progresses we see Yaz open herself up to the others, to trust, criticism, etc... this instead of opening herself up to the possibility causes her to shut down (Essentially the scene where she says she and Sammy aren't friends and her petty fights with Brooklynn, her trying to walk with her messed up ankle) and this comes to a crescendo of emotions when Sammy gets poisoned.

There's moments when she's running when she thinks she's not going to be fast enough. She's not going to make it in time. it's a very intense scene and highlights her character development.

It also makes her face her feelings and the changes over the last few months.

Her daemon then settles as a peregrine falcon. While not a land animal, it is one of the fastest animals in the world. Reaching speeds of 200mph while diving. This is the push she needs to realize that the clunky version of herself. The version that cut her off at thinking that part of her, right then, was the best version of herself that she could be. When in fact it came later when she was pushed past her limits.

The antelope was the manifestation of something clunky. Something that looked nice on the outside but wasn't actually working. While the falcon was her becoming 'sleeker' in a physical way, but also more herself. Opening her mind to more possibilities.

✨ filling connections for elijah loomis’ cat cafe boss ✨

CAT, 28, GMT;  SHE/THEY. | if you’re hearing ZO KAN HET DUS OOK by MAAN playing, you have to know YAZMIN ELSAYED  (SHE/HER; CIS WOMAN) is near by! the 36 year old OWNER OF FRISKY KITTY CAFE has been in denver for, like, UNDER A YEAR. they’re known to be quite FINICKY, but being WELCOMING seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble MAY CALAMAWY. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those WINDOWS FILLED WITH PLANTS, WARM TEA, THE SMELL OF OLD BOOKS, MESSY BUNS vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around MONTBELLO long enough!

BASICS:

NAME: yazmin elsayed

NIKNAMES: yaz, min (please give her more!)

AGE: thirty-six.

BIRTHDAY: 16th november 1986. 

ETHNICITY: egyptian and palestinian. 

GENDER AND PRONOUNS: cis woman, she/her.

SEXUALITY: bisexual.

OCCUPATION: owner of frisky kitty cafe.

PHYSICAL:

HAIR: brown, curly.

EYE COLOUR: brown.

HEIGHT: 157cm / 5 foot 5 inches.

TATTOOS: butterfly on the back of her neck and upper back tattoo (reference)

PIERCINGS: lobe piercing, previous belly button piercing.

MISC: she knows three languages (english, dutch, and arabic).

BIOGRAPHY:

Yazmin is adopted and one of three siblings. Her father, Rashid, is a film-maker and her other father, Jeroens, is a renowned businessman both of which meant the family were fortunate enough to travel especially when Yazmin was young. The family eventually settled down in Denver, Colorado, where she studied.

She studied business, communication and hospitality management. She had set her eyes on event planning and that's what she did, eventually making her way up the ladder and becoming very successful but the time and effort she put into becoming one of the best didn't come with out a cost.

Yazmin loves to cook. If you're close to Yazmin she's definitely cooked for you. Her family has a big dinner most weekends and when she has free time she loves getting her friends together and cooking for them all.

ALL OF THIS CAN BE CHANGED BASED ON WANTED CONNECTION FOR EX-SPOUSE. Connection has been taken, updated info:

Yazmin wasn't looking to date when she met Nash. Maybe that was the start of the end knowing she didn't have time to focus on anything else but her career. Regardless, she eventually agreed to a date. Then a second. Then a third. Soon finding out that the two clicked in more ways than one and soon finding herself starting to cherish the time they had together.

As time went on, it was easy to love Nash. They eventually moved in together. A few years later getting married. Then it was goodbye to Colorado, both wanting to spread their wings and heighten their careers choices so the move was natural.

But even off the clock, Yazmin still focused on work. Often working way into the night on her laptop as the two sat together on the couch with little being said. In hindsight, working that much wasn't healthy to her and her marriage, but at the time she had such much on her plate and there wasn't enough hours in the day. It's the one thing she regrets. A big regret, really. But in her mind Nash doesn't deserve to know that.

Still, it came as a surprise when she found out about Nash's secrets. They didn't tell her that there was a deal hone bad nor that they had been fired for trying to embezzle money and the icing on the cake was taking money out of their shared joint accounts. How could Nash not tell her something so big? She moved back the night she found out and ever since has been living with a long-term friend, Owen.

After having her life uprooted, she decided that it was time for another change. Yazmin had been working in event planning since graduating but it no longer sparked joy. A cat cafe was a silly idea prompted by the idea of her two adopted cats at first but the more she thought about it the more realistic it became — if not now, when? If not that, what?

[findroleplay]

I’m a 21+ writer who is literate and writes multi-paragraph to Novella style responses in the third person. GMT Timezone and a regular responder hoping for the same. That said, real life always comes first to me and I deeply respect my roleplay partner and their time.

I have zero limits and I’m a huge fan of angsty stories with darker themes (taboo is fine with me) but I also like fluffy scenes. I’m OOC friendly and really like sending through things like memes, songs that remind me of the characters… I can even make social media accounts/screenshots at times to add to things if the story is in a modern setting.

I love writing side characters because I truly believe friendships are just as important as the main romance.

I’m open to all sorts of plots for the below pairings. I’ve included a few tidbits but I have ideas in my head for them all. That said, I’d love to come up with something together and work as a pair to make an awesome plot. Bold is the character I want to write as.

The Umbrella Academy

- Klaus/Diego

• Open to anything here with no solid ideas. Pushing Daisies style detective drama? Commission Klaus instead of Lila? HS!AU or a Group Home concept. Together in the 60’s AU. Commission Diego or Klaus.. Up for so many things :)

- Klaus/Five

I’ve got a couple ideas for this. TW for suicide in the first!

After a safe landing into the present, things mostly go back to normal except that Klaus isn’t coping. He chooses to die and is accepted up by the Lil girl in the sky. Except that Five isn’t happy with this and goes a day back in time to stop it. Then it happens again a week later. He goes back. So on and so forth. Eventually Five realises that the best way to stop this is by giving Klaus reasons to remain.

The second idea is a loose concept with the Handler picking Klaus up and keeping him for a few years prior to her collecting Five. She moulds him into someone obedient enough to stay where he’s been put and makes him firm on the belief that leaving would be stupid. As Five joins the commission, The Handler takes him to Klaus just so he also knows that leaving would be the worst possible thing. They can spend time with each other so long as Five completes his missions. The consequences of stepping a toe out of line aren’t worth thinking about.

Bring me your ideas too! Them stuck in the 60’s together waiting for the others to land? Five ending up the same age. Forced to survive together, Five getting a job… Klaus being Klaus.

Just… Five being ‘I hate everyone but him’ and them being the definition of someone will die / of fun!

- Klaus/Axel

• A few more scattered thoughts. The Swedes being assigned to watch the Hargreeves in the 60’s and Axel being in charge of Klaus (can also do the same plot in the modern era) or a cute slice of life thing with Axel returning to the modern times and courting Klaus all old fashioned like. Open to anything:)

White Collar

- Neal Caffrey/Peter Burke

• A cat and mouse love story! Love the idea of them having a romance whilst Neal is on the run and Peter is meant to be catching him, not waking up beside him with a note next to the bed - some clue to solve. This can all eventually lead to canon time with Neal working for Peter and the tension still being there!

Doctor Who

- Clara/Twelve

Happy to set this at any point!

-Clara/Rose

-Clara/Yaz

I’m thinking perhaps a story where Clara is travelling in her TARDIS, similar to her splinters she winds up meeting people connected to the Doctor.

Yellowjackets

Lottie/Nat

Nat/Misty

Interview with the Vampire

Claudia/Original Female Character

I would require a character sheet for this as I want to see how they’d vibe with Claudia and how we’d slot them together.

Downton Abbey

Sybil/Original Female Character

Same as above about requiring a character sheet. Do they work at the Abbey? Are they part of the equality for women movement?

Sybil/Mary

Like this and I will reach out to you and you can tell me about yourself/your writing style/what you’re interested in etc. Please be open in your introduction, as I tend to take first impressions as a writing sample! :)

Coming Out

Lunch at the Zane household was usually a noisy affair. With everyone talking over each other, laughing, and sharing stories, the dining table often felt more like a bustling café. That afternoon, however, the noise took a different turn.

“So, Yaz,” Ellias began with his usual mischievous grin, “is Riley coming over again? Or do you just save all your smiles for her during soccer practice?”

Yaz froze mid-bite, her fork clattering onto her plate. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, but she quickly masked it with a glare. “Ellie, shut up,” she snapped, her voice sharper than usual.

Ellias, oblivious to her tone, leaned into the tease. “What? I’m just saying, you two are always—”

“Stop it!” Yaz shouted, cutting him off. Her voice cracked, and the entire table fell silent. Even Blue, who had been lazily lying under the table, perked his ears at the sudden outburst.

Ellias blinked, startled by her reaction. Before he could say anything else, Elliot interjected, his voice firm and disappointed. “Ellias, enough. Can’t you see you’re upsetting her?”

Yaz pushed her chair back abruptly, standing with tears welling in her eyes. “You’re such a jerk, Ellie,” she muttered before storming out of the dining room. The slam of her bedroom door echoed through the house moments later.

Ellias looked down at his plate, guilt creeping into his expression. “I didn’t mean to—”

“You should think before you speak,” Elliot said quietly, his disapproving gaze making Ellias squirm.

Ralph and Andrew exchanged a glance, both clearly concerned but deciding to give Yaz the space she needed for now.

**********************************************************************

After a while, Ralph knocked gently on the twins' bedroom door. “Yaz?” he called softly. “It’s Daddy. Can I come in?”

There was a long pause before a muffled “Okay” came from inside.

Ralph entered to find Yaz curled up on her bed, her face hidden against her knees. He sat down beside her, his hand resting lightly on her back. “Hey, kiddo,” he said gently. “Want to talk about it?”

Yaz shook her head but didn’t move away.

Andrew appeared in the doorway a moment later, holding a glass of water. He handed it to Yaz, who reluctantly took it and sipped. “We’re not here to pressure you,” Andrew said. “We just want to make sure you’re okay.”

Yaz sniffled, her voice barely above a whisper. “Why does Ellie have to be such an idiot?”

“He doesn’t mean to be,” Ralph said, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “Sometimes he just speaks before he thinks. That doesn’t make it okay, though.”

Andrew sat on her other side, his arm draping over her shoulders. “Yaz, whatever you’re feeling, it’s valid,” he said. “And it’s okay if you don’t want to tell us yet. But we’re here when you’re ready.”

**********************************************************************

Ralph hesitated for a moment before speaking. “You know, when I was around your age, I struggled with something similar. Growing up in Halmeoni and Harabeoji’s house wasn’t exactly... easy. They’re devoted Catholics, and I wasn’t sure if they’d accept me for who I was.”

Yaz turned to look at him, her teary eyes wide with curiosity. “Really?”

“Really,” Ralph said, his voice tinged with a mix of nostalgia and lingering emotion. “I remember staying up at night, rehearsing how to tell them. I was convinced they’d be disappointed, maybe even angry. But when I finally worked up the courage, do you know what they did?”

Yaz shook her head.

“They hugged me,” Ralph said simply. “Halmeoni said, ‘Ralphie, you are a gift from God, exactly as you are.’ Harabeoji cried. And Uncle Gunho? Well, he just teased me about my fashion sense.”

Yaz let out a small laugh despite herself. “Uncle Gunho would do that.”

Andrew chimed in, his voice warm. “I didn’t have the same struggles growing up, but figuring out who I was still took time. It’s a journey, Yaz. And it’s okay if you’re not there yet. There’s no rush.”

**********************************************************************

Yaz finally spoke, her voice trembling but determined. “I think... I think I like girls,” she admitted. “But I’m scared. What if people don’t accept me?”

Ralph pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly. “Yaz, the world can be tough, but you’re tougher. And you have us—your whole family—behind you, always.”

Andrew squeezed her hand. “We’re so proud of you, Yaz. Not for figuring it out, but for being brave enough to say it out loud.”

Her tears fell freely now, but they weren’t just from fear. There was relief, too, and a growing sense of confidence.

**********************************************************************

That evening, the entire family gathered in the living room for a movie night, Yaz tucked comfortably between her dads on the couch. Ellias, still feeling guilty, handed her the popcorn bowl without a word.

“Thanks, Ellie,” Yaz said softly, offering him a small smile.

Elliot ruffled her hair, breaking the tension. “So, Yaz, think Riley’s free to join our next soccer game?”

Yaz groaned, throwing a pillow at him, but this time she was laughing. For the first time in weeks, she felt lighter.

She didn’t have all the answers yet, but with her family by her side, she knew she’d figure it out.

More doctor crossover scenarios cause I’m like that

11’s TARDIS calls him to 2024 Chiswick, right outside the Noble home. He’s tracking something down, and just misses Donna a few times before actually seeing her walk down the street towards him, he jumps in a bush to avoid being seen

While he’s watching her from the bush 13 (and Yaz) who’s also tracking the thing, and was unknowingly behind 11 sees Donna

She runs up to her and hugs her, “Sorry, who are you?”, “oh, I’m a uhh, friend of Nyrris, she said,,, you were injured, ya’know I’m just glad to see you ok, best be off, com’on Yaz!”

Donna walks home confused

From behind the bush 11 watches on, also confused, he turns his head to see 13 already sitting beside him, jumping him a bit

“Hello!”

“Hello! You are??”

“Oh! Right right, I’m you”

11 stares at her for a moment, then they both reach in their jackets for their screwdrivers, flip them in their hand, and turn them on, 11 let’s put a bit of a laugh

“That’s my favorite part!” 13 has a exited smile on her face

But 11’s hardens realizing two doctors is hardly ever a good sign.

The debrief, and 13 introduces Yaz

Meanwhile Donna goes home, where she immediately starts telling 14 about the odd interaction she had outside, with a short blonde woman, she had a long trench coat and some snazzy pants, 14 immediately gets up and runs outside. Donna considers following, but decides she’s done with his shit today

11 looks over, recognizes 14, and waves him over, 13 is a bit more hesitant, Yaz is confused, 14 rushes over and sits across from the two of them (still hiding behind a bush) and asks them what’s going on

At the same time 13 starts explaining how they ran into eachother, which is great!! And how she missed their faces!! And how her timeline very rarely crosses over it’s self!! But also this is bad, a bad thing because it means something’s very wrong. And 11 starts scolding him about how Donna was around and none of them should be here

He says he knows and it’s okay, but dose the explain why

They start to debrief when 11 notices 14 wasn’t tracking what they were, and starts asking a bunch of questions,

“What we’re you doing then”

“And why are you old?”

“Hey!”

“No, good question, why are you old?”

“Cause we were you, but we weren’t this you”

“I don’t know! I just am!”

“You aged somehow?”

“Shape shifting?”

“Zygons?”

“Alternate dimension clone?”

“The curator?”

14 takes a breath, was he this annoying when he was them? “Spoilers”

11 and 13 begin to discuss what this means, and answer Yaz’s questions, when their cut off by a young woman’s voice

“Doctor? Doctor, why are you hiding in a bush?”

14 pops up to see Rose questioning him

“Hiding, I’m not hiding, just,,, hanging out”

“Awful lot of yelling for just hanging out”

“Why are we still down here???” Yaz asks 13, who nods is replay, then looks to 11

They both pop up beside 14, he gestures to both of them, “Doctor, Doctor, let me introduce your lovely niece, Rose”

They both happily shake her hand “I’ve always wanted a niece!”

11 looks to 14, as to question the coincidence of the name, 14 shrugs him off

Rose takes them inside and offers Yaz a cup of tea and they talk about traveling with the doctor

The three doctors sit around the table discussing what they found, 14 can’t help but look over to Yaz, he really messed up her life, didn’t he? Still cares about her, still loves her, she never would’ve recognized him. He misses her but she has her Doctor

Sean walks in then immediately leaves

Donna walks in, 11 and 13 begin to freak out, Donna tells them to sit down and makes 14 explain

She tells him he’s supposed to be retired, which confuses the other doctors

,,,,

I might come back to this later but the gist is, 15 shows up with Ruby, everyone saves the day together, 14 gets closure with Yaz, and Yaz 13 and 11 get their recent memories wiped
