headcanons about eldritch!doctor except not actually about them:

there’s no way that splintering herself across time and space didn’t do something to clara. earth feels so small now, and every time she returns to her home planet she feels restricted and claustrophobic, like she's trying to occupy a space meant only for a single person. she lies like breathing, desperately trying to find a version of events that fits each of her millions upon millions of lives. clara oswald is a badly sewn together patchwork of forgotten memories and whispered stories and she is much less scared of that than she should be

river song is mostly human but slightly curled and fraying at the edges, and for most of her life she has kept a strict grasp on her mortal form, terrified that she'll be punished for being wrong. it takes her a good long time to let these edges slip, and the first time happens while she’s with her parents. they don't react badly (my beautiful beautiful girl amy murmurs and river cries in her arms as rory carefully combs his fingers through hair that flickers in and out of reality and feels like static) and she starts becoming more and more comfortable with her true form. the doctor's always been able to see her of course

amy never talks about it, but those years living by a crack leaking time and space didn’t exactly leave her unscathed. she remembers timelines that never happened and sees things that should remain unseen. where rory sees an old tired timelord, amy's always been able to see a splintered and shiny mass of time energy that weaves through dimensions. river flares fever bright in her eyes and rory flickers between flesh and plastic. new york is a gnarled wound in time and she pretends that it doesn't burn every time she blinks

she doesn’t remember anything afterwards but there’s still something off about donna noble and the way she seems to almost. grow a little. the way that her eyes light up and there's something so much bigger behind them. she takes up camping, and doesn't quite know how to explain how much more settled she feels sleeping under the stars (if there were any onlookers, they'd be able to see how the stars pulse in time with the too quick rise and fall of her chest)

rose has always sworn that she has nothing of the bad wolf left but sometimes, when she grins, she almost seems to have too many teeth in her smile. she prefers the day, prefers the sun and the bright blue sky; she spends so much time in bright places that it takes her a while to realise that her eyes reflect the light

1-50 of the writer’s ask thing, go!

The Favourites21.  Who is/are your favourite character(s) to write?oh mannngggg i like all my protagonists, ary is the easiest bc shes the one i work with the most, but its super entertaining to be in remy’s head, and i like calyp’s bc hers is so different AAHH22.  Who is/are your favourite pairing(s) to write?remy and seth orrr red and kieran. if im answering this correctly? or do u mean types of pairings lol idk23.  Favourite authorhummm idk every author i really like have books i dont like so i cant say24.  Favourite genre to write and readfantasy25.  Favourite part of writingworldbuilding *.*26.  Favourite writing programgoogle docs. it would be word but im too poor to buy it lol27.  Favourite line/sceneidk if this is my favourite but“I am at least trying to be civil.”“I am being civil. You want me to yell at you? Turn into a wolf and fight it out like you’d want?”Kieran closed the file and stood. “I don’t—rem—”“Remember.”“I don’t remember you being so—” He searched for a word, but gave up and growled instead. Red got the idea.“Angry? Callous? I ought to reteach you the English language.”“I know how to speak,” Kieran blurted. “Remember, I spent twenty-four years a full human.”“And look how fast that’s disappeared.”28.  Favourite side characterwhat are side characters lol ENSEMBLE CASTS29.  Favourite villainossssshhhh probably michael bc i love him30.  Favourite idea you haven’t started on yetive started on all my wips im one of those bastards who can multitask

The Fun36.  Last sentence you wrote“My plan would go smoother with you involved, but I can find others. Many want his head.”37.  First sentence or your current WIPShe squinted in the harsh light.38.  Weirdest story idea you’ve ever hadugh this girl who could see deaths coming and she worked for the fbi but she was like 15 so she still had to go to highschool lol39.  Weirdest character concept you’ve ever hadprobably her, only bc i was 13 when i created her and was reading this banshee series but somehow didnt connect??? and didnt realise she was a banshee?? without the screaming40.  Share some backstory for one of your charactersomg all of my characters have purposefully murky backstories bc i find that trope cool af lol. i guess ary has that typical woe-is-me backstory where her parents were killed, she spiraled and got involved with the wrong people and then was betrayed and arrested lol

The Rest of It41.  Any advice for new/beginning/young writers?literally i swear by: trying anything out. fiddle with pov, tense, perspective, genre, character identity, hell take a story you like and try to put your own spin on it. writing as a craft only gets better with practice and my best work is when im going outside of the box/my comfort zone42.  How do you feel about love triangles?is this even a debate anymore, this trope got flamed so hard i havent seen it in ya in years. i dont really care about it43.  What do you do if/when characters don’t follow the outline?good lol my outlines are usually done on the spot and i come up with more creative plots/scenes if i can think on it a bit44.  How much research do you do?i edit as i go so i research as i go. my pre-drafting research extends to saving links on things i might wanna write about and thats it lol. i would say i dont do as much as i should45.  How much world building do you do?a lot lol i LOVE worldbuilding. but i find it hard to incorporate it into my draft naturally so a lot of minute details get cut 46.  Do you reread your own stories?all the time lol i forget what i wrote half the time47.  Best way to procrastinatetwitter–OR if u wanna seem “productive”, writing blogs are a good way to get distracted48.  What’s the most self-insert character/scene you’ve ever written?bitch there was a time where i only wrote self insert characters lol49.  Which character would you most want to be friends with, if they were real?im too lame to hang out with any of my characters. they would be nice to me but i wouldnt get to know them like how i know them from an author perspective50.  [Other question—ask me anything]u didnt ho
