Gallifrey: insurgency liveblog aka Romana has a breakdown and I'm crying about Leela/Andred

love the ladies, gentlemen and others

brax 😭

oh we're at the academy? nice

interesting stuff

like the students

well except for their superiority complex

I like the mythologism of the renegades

Leela<3

never undervalue that yay

experience is also something Romana has in opposition to other Time Lords which is interesting

and something she learned in Spirit

not even the students appreciate her 🥺

oh poor Romana

all alone in that cesspit of politicians

Leela gets Darkel I think

the danger she poses

he is the enemy? Leela does have such a refreshing practical view

i need someone i can trust 🥹

Romana not sleeping sus

cause Narvin didn't in Lies

it isn't important poor Romana

how she says thank you Leela 🥺

oh Brax 😭

Leela's really her only friend left

she sounds so lonely

you're not my husband oh how i love this

my husband was brave, kind, truthful. He is also dead that is both vile and very true

god the tragedy of them

I disappoint you?! the outrage in her voice

he's so mean to her

I'm sorry you feel that way that is a dick move

Andred is a snake god

I feel like he's getting there but he doesn't get what he did to her yet

just this whole conversation

I've already listened to it like five times

heartbreaking

going insane

oh I fucking hate that vice chancellor

fancy running into you 😆

oh that's interesting

using K9 is actually really smart

their dynamic is so <3

but this does not concern you oh i love her going stern

Professor Leela cute

Andred and I were very much in love 🥺

don't call her that

it's interesting seeing Leela advocate for the Time Lords

she's really good at that stuff

because she is very sincere

the students are really cool to see

it gives a more normal perspective on everything that's happening

now what is Darkel up to

Romana is so good at complaining

illogical 😆

oh she is a bit scared isn't she

like she acts all outraged but I think deep down she's scared

oh leave Brax alone

Leela is very smart in these matters

and she is so loyal to Romana

such faith in her

I do feel like you can really see the character progression from Spirit here for Leela

oh Romana's angry

I do think Narvin's loyalty is so interesting

like obviously he does not care that much about Romana as a person here but he very much cares about her as president

because he cares about what's best for gallifrey and that means she needs to stay sane at least

oh she's suicidal again

their conversations have so much to them

she's so angry and annoyed

she should really start caring about herself

oh what

so he is kind of working against her

Darkel you fucking freed her last episode

oh another ice queen that's interesting

the dynamics amongst the students are very compelling

oh are we back to the pompous music

Leela again being so kind

love her<3

love that she calls the students cowards

it's interesting how Andred does and doesn't still care about her

like the love is still there

but it is not good for her

I feel this is very suited to her talents actually

Leela is so clearly hurt just like the students

I have seen the damage that words alone can do I feel like that also speaks to her trauma of being rejected by this society

Leela learning to lie

becoming more like the people rejecting her

god

but I am certain it is not mine fuck

again this whole conversation

is this a case of trying to stop it makes it happen

Romana is really so tortured<3

such outrage

she really can't lose control can she

like to herself

she sounds so desperate already

like she's about to cry

bitten half to death?!

you know what their ambition really makes them Time Lords in spirit already

what does Andred want

apart from Leela back

he's really manipulative sometimes

Leela sounds so sad at not getting to see Romana

K9 trying to provide support is cute

he is very cute in general

I can offer a limited amount of solutions 😆

you're not letting her down 🥺

Leela really gets the Time Lords better than anyone

I think maybe Romana needs a nap

you know without nightmares

god she's angry

really has no patience left

now what are the students up to

oh Leela's place in this is so delicious

Leela is really one of the few who can see clearly

so compelling

oh I love her standing up for herself

the students' fate is kind of sad

the academy being a microcosmos of the hate

oh shit I love Leela not taking any shit from the students

a mind virus?

that's interesting and weird

love Romana's convictions

oh shut up Darkel

love to hate her

so true Romana

she really has good ideas if only she could get them through to their heads

acting chancellor can she get Brax back please

interesting distinction between Gallifreyan and Time Lord

need to read up on that lore

oh shit is that stuff already spreading between the students

civil war starting in the academy?

Andred leave those kids alone please

oh Romana is so scared

of losing control

of failing her people

Pandora knows precisely what she's doing

this is really a self-fulfilling prophecy

good intentions paving the way for catastrophe

oh there is grief there

god they're so sad

he's really hurt her so much but he's hurt too

well that's sinister

girl you were already on that path we've talked about your relationship to control

oh she's still got conviction

I love her<3

but also I really doubt that's it

sometimes?!

there's so much interesting stuff on identity here

he does sound like he's trying to get better

but I don't know if he can gain back her trust

I love Leela protecting herself

like it'd be easy to go back to him

but in the end it'd hurt more

oh Andred 🥺

excuse me

that is going to make me cry

she sounds so heartbroken

oh Narvin you should stop hanging out with Darkel *oh that's cruel

really cruel

Andred is actually doing the right thing?

what's happening now

oh shit

oh we're doing sounds again

that's not good

wtf was that

was that actually Romana?!

Taylor's fate is very sad

this series is so emotionally devastating

oh fuck Darkel

shes so evil<3

such a good villain

and really the most dangerous type

because she's popular and good with words and manipulating people

she invoked the right of challenge? actually that's interesting how did Romana become president

this is bound to be interesting

oh this must be terrible for Leela

it all happening again

and feeling like she failed her students

I wonder if we ever meet Neeloc again

Romana sounds so exhausted and paranoid

she is not emotionally stable at all

oh I love her being insulting

oh she's not okay

like at all

yay Leela gets decision power

oh yeah she is going the dictator way

she really needs a nap

and a hug

Ooh, my answers under the break!

I remember my mom getting really excited at the Master showing up in Utopia. I would have been... four? Five maybe? But it had been on before that.

I'm sure I was in the room when Rose was on for the first time, but I was two, so, you know. I remember most of Series 5 (starting with The Eleventh Hour) though.

Three! I love the James Bond stuff and the backing of UNIT produces a very different dynamic than almost anything else in the show.

Raw characterization, core Doctors only, ignoring the writing quality, it's one between Seven, Eleven, and Thirteen. They're all kind of scheme-y. Generally someone has to get hurt for their plans to go correctly.

Lots! The big one is that the Master should have been the Timeless Child imo.

The Movie :( - in all seriousness I don't think I can choose. NuWho is what I grew up on but I'm very into old, low-grade tv and movies, so I can't resist the charm.

This is such a weird dichotomy to me. Try writing these Doctors and tell me they don't talk in exactly the same way ("Wellll....")(also they both hang out with Sarah Jane). I like Four's outfit better.

The Hawaiian vest from The Two Doctors. I've genuinely restructured my wardrobe around this monstrosity of an outfit and it makes my silly little brain so happy.

9. Ten's brown suit. You can tell from my taste leaning towards Six's outfits that I like the more colorful ones. The brown suit and Ten's coat are even the same color :(

10. Tossup between Donna and Jo! I think Donna and the Master would have much the same relationship as Jo and the Master, and I think 70s/80s Jo would have much the same relationship with Ten that Donna has.

11. Susan? I'm not sure. I'm not huge on Yaz either, but it feels unfair to judge her based on Chibnall's writing.

12. Whatever the fuck was going on at UNIT in seasons 7 and 8 (the polycule and the Master......)

13. Amy and Rory <3

14. I just watched The Sun Makers and fell in love, but Thin Ice and Human Nature/Family of Blood (in that order) have special places in my heart.

15. This one of Romana's:

16. Leela and Four have a fantastic dynamic. Next down is probably Jo and Three.

17. Design-wise, that bastard from Time Heist. I'm not putting a picture because they genuinely bother me. I like Leela's people content-wise.

18. Fuck, uh, all the ones I can think of are quarries. I really enjoy the horrible, dystopian cityscape Pluto in The Sun Makers.

19. Cybermen! There is a horror innate in the concept of a Cyberman that I don't get with the space nazis.

20. Oh boy. I'll offer my top plot-wise) Give the Doctor a new set of regenerations during the War, push that problem off for a bit; and vibe-wise) More concern about how Time Lords are, you know, aliens. Stop just off-handedly mentioning respiratory bypass I want more bits like the poisoning in Unicorn and the Wasp or how aspirin is like cyanide to them or how ginger ale gets them fucking wasted.

DOCTOR WHO THEMED ASK GAME !

what was the first episode you watched/remember ?

what was the first entire series you watched/remember ?

who is your favorite doctor ? why ?

who is your least favorite doctor ? why ?

First line game

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20 stories, just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors. If you’re seeing this, YOU are tagged!

I was tagged by the lovelies @the-starryknight and @tackytigerfic and while I’m very flattered that they thought my recs somehow deserved to feature on this mighty thread, I could not pass the opportunity to celebrate these works some more, so I cheated a little bit and decided to make it about the quotes I chose to illustrate my last 20 recs. Hope that’s okay :)

As for my favorite opening line from one of my own recs, I gotta go with “Haters will say I gave this fic the big spot because it was written for my birthday... and they would be right”. This was written for Tacky’s Collapsed in Love, that I recced on Valentine’s Day ❤️

1) The Snitch-Maker by Omi_Ohmy:

He understood then that he’d thought of Potter as hero for years. An ache twisted through him, and he wasn’t sure it was for himself, or Potter. Or maybe for everyone who’d lived through those awful years.

2) Unfinished Business by cupiscent:

He'd looked up with those haunted eyes, and Draco had almost faltered in that moment, even after he'd thought himself resolved. He'd known that Potter. Mocked him, challenged him, hated him - but known him. This icon on stage was a stranger.

3) Like Gold by @the-sinking-ship:

Draco grinned so wide his cheeks ached and he practically ran the rest of the way. He snagged the matching black helmet off the seat and jammed it over his head, as he’d done a hundred times before.

4) Absurd by Blowfish_Diaries:

“I’d do anything for you, Harry.” I used to hate how easily he drew these sorts of blunt, honest confessions from me, but I’ve made my peace with it.

5) On the Balcony by @firethesound:

“I’m trying to be romantic.”

“You’re trying to get your hand on my cock.”

“Is there a difference?” Draco asked. He ate another bite of custard, practically fellating his spoon in the process.

6) A Hyperactive Fruit, a Nasty Neighbour and a Love Story by synonym4life:

A top that looked as if a homeless person had worn it, threw it away (because even homeless people had standards), and then another homeless person took the rag from a bin for his dog to lie on, threw it away as well (because even dogs had standards), and only then did Potter pick it out from the trash and decided it was as good a garment as any to wear to the Ministry.

7) Collapsed in Love by @tackytigerfic:

He worries about Teddy all the time, especially since he started school, and Teddy, who’s been loved all his life and is confident that he always will be, has no compunction about being a little shit to the people who care about him. And Harry cares about him the most.

8) Our Ordinary Days by Lomonaaeren:

And the greater life, the greater spirit, running through his body as though through his veins? Draco liked to think that came from all of them, Harry and himself and Teddy and even the Weasleys.

9) Student Digs by Lokifan:

He gave me a sharp look and I felt myself wither. Not because of Harry’s expression, exactly; but because I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years putting up with things because I was helpless to change them.

10) Misguided at Best by agentmoppet:

“What was that?” Draco asks, because he's a bastard, and because it's his role to give Potter what he wants, and Potter wants to beg.

11) A Charitable Christmas by Alisanne:

Throwing his head back, Malfoy laughed. “So,” he said once he’d sobered, “it seems we both have stories to either prove or debunk.” Draining his glass once more, he stood up. “Well? Shall we?”

12) Exiled by A_factorygirl_69:

"I miss England," Draco said, crossing his arms and stubbornly staring out the glass. "Doesn't usually rain here. Not like it does at home—England, I mean." Draco said 'England' much louder the second time, trying to cover up the word he said before it.

13) Cold Like Fire by @queenofthyme:

“Auror Potter” Draco said - how Harry hated being called that - “I’m not about to tuck serviettes down my shirt and eat with my hands just because it suits some absurd purpose of yours.”

14) Day Shift on Diagon by @prolix-:

Draco comes to realise that he had fallen for a caricature of the man. As a barista, Harry was uncomplicated, quiet and unfailingly kind. Faultless but flat. It's a joy, learning just how complicated the man really is.

15) The Art of Seduction by playout:

If letting Draco take him to the dance floor had been a Very Bad Idea, Harry fisting his hands in Draco's shirt hard enough to tear it in two and snogging him with the ferocity of several years' worth of pent up sexual frustration and chronic vexation was a colossally bad one.

16) Autumn Drarry Drabbles by @peachpety: this is actually a collection I recced on a collab with @thedrarrylibrarian, but if I had to choose only 1 (one) quote it would be this one from her drabble #12 - Manor House No.7:

Draco holds his gaze, absorbing the sunshine smell of him, like happiness and contentment. The terrifying pull in his gut takes hold, opposing magnetic poles attracting, urging him to reach out and capture him, to click perfectly into place. The moment expands, a pause at the end of an exhale, lungs empty and still.

17) Of toenail clippings and designer underwear by @andithiel:

“I just… I like your hair a little messier,” he added quietly, as he shrank into his book, unable to help himself.

18) Big Hands by @fw00shy:

Draco thought about those colossal hands delicately making their way through his piece, and wanted with such an intensity that he nearly collapsed over the piano bench.

19) Voices from the Fog by @noeeon:

“How are you going to find out what either of us wants if you don’t stay?”

20) Special Edition by Leela:

Years of hard work to restore the Malfoy name and he'd tossed it away for what? His stomach began to roil as another memory swam into focus, of him kissing Potter, of Potter kissing him. His hand shook, spilling lukewarm coffee over his skin.

13 for leaned in and let it hurt; 3 for everything in what we choose ❤

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

ooh this is not a fic I have strong music associations with actually.

the title is from Pluto by Sleeping At Last, but I didn’t listen to it while writing.

Until one day I had enough Of this exercise of trust I leaned in and let it hurt And let my body feel the dirt When I break pattern, I break ground I rebuild when I break down I wake up more awake than I've ever been before

but it does work for sure! it captures that idea of saying no and walking away. of Leela no longer repressing the hurt and the grief and the not-belonging, but letting herself feel it and slowly starting to heal.

I also think Freedom by Karmina, one of my favorite Leela songs, suits this fic. there’s the line about starting over, there’s this chorus, etc.:

Take my pride, I can still survive I got my freedom Strip me bare, I don’t got a thing to wear But I got my freedom Hunt me down, you’ll never find me now That I got my freedom Take my past, I’m never looking back I got my freedom

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

What We Choose is ninety thousand words, how am I supposed to pick???

okay. I will list a line (or a paragraph) I like from each fic, but I make no promises about favorite because there are so many words and I am bad at decisions.

Defying Reason:

Maybe that is the truth, at least a part of it. She would die, in Leela’s eyes, and the last scraps of their friendship would die too, and the world is already too heavy on the best of days, and without Leela — what would be the point in coming back as someone who could feel the pain of that loss? It’s awful and inefficient, and her lives belong to Gallifrey, first and foremost. Maybe she really was meant to be ice. Maybe it would have been easier.

I do like my explanation for why Romana III ended up Like That, and especially why she never went back for Leela. the idea of it being part-conscious, terrible, selfish choice and part-instinct because of the personality of the regeneration, but it all circling back to this “you’re going to leave me so what if I leave you first” emotional impulse that Romana II sees inside herself and hates.

Call It Home:

Romana was a renegade once, he always knew that, but he’d never before had reason to fear it.

This conversation on the hill at the marketplace was the first thing I wrote for this fic, and I loved getting into these big picture character ideas of why Romana ran away from Gallifrey and why she came back—and I especially loved Romana and Narvin talking about it. because they both have intense relationships to Gallifrey, but hers developed much differently than his. I love this moment when it really sinks in for him that he’s never willingly left Gallifrey, but she has and she liked traveling, and does that mean she could leave again? and that “I don’t want to lose you” fear simmering under the conversation sparks some genuine emotional honesty from Romana about why she’s made the choices she has, and it was a great scene to write.

Price to Pay:

They stay that way for a long time, enough for the storm roiling out of Narvin’s mind to fade, for something to stabilize, even if it’s far from healed. Romana lets go of his hands, and both of them open their eyes, sitting knee to knee behind his desk.

“for something to stabilize, even if it’s far from healed” is basically the summary of this chapter. I really like that his line describes what’s going on directly (Romana helping soothe Narvin’s psychic injury) and indirectly (them finally having a conversation about What Narvin Did)—and how in both cases, it’s a temporary patch, but it’s not all fixed.

I also just really like this moment of the two of them holding hands, knees pressed together—it’s so delicate and intimate. and it’s the last moment like that that they have for a long time, because Romana’s about to draw an emotional wall between them, because she still can’t fully handle what Narvin did and is dealing with that “is our relationship inherently destructive?” guilt.

The Echoes Between Us:

There isn’t anything between them anymore — not their titles, not their duty to Gallifrey, not even Leela. There isn’t anything at all to push them together. There isn’t anything at all to keep them apart.

another fic thesis statement tbh. this is it, this is why Narvin and Romana’s relationship in Time War 3 fascinates me so much. there is so much unspoken hurt between them—guilt and grief over Leela, guilt and grief over Gallifrey, but in Ch. 5 they finally talk about it.

and this line gets at how Narvin and Romana threw themselves at the goal of finding Leela, and she didn’t want them, and now what? and how for a moment, they seemed to believe that they could go off on their own, could choose that together. and I love that so much—the idea of them no longer being bound together as President-and-Coordinator, Coordinator-and-Deputy Coordinator, no longer having a shared duty to serve Gallifrey or a shared mission of finding Leela, but still choosing each other. and this line gets at how all of those professional dynamics and their relationships with Leela bound them together, yes, but also made their relationship with each other more complicated and difficult to navigate and created a certain distance between them. and that’s not there anymore. they have each other, they choose each other. and there’s something so powerful about that choice—and something so tragic about it falling apart the very next day.

Dare I say it… Irving Braxiatel for the character ask 😂

You may dare 😂

send me a character & I’ll answer the following about them!

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff (He's a Slytherin through and through.)

best quality: The fact he is loyal and he does CARE for the people he is close to like Benny and the Legion family, even the Doctor. He just goes about showing how much he cares for them sometimes in the wrong way, except for that time he blew up a planet to protect his friends from Avril Frenman because that's iconic.

worst quality: The fact he went to the Beyond and got himself killed but we don't talk about that.

ship them with: The Gallifrey Gang!

brotp them with: Brax/Benny <3

needs to stay away from: writers who don't know how to handle his character

misc. thoughts: Too many thoughts about Braxiatel!! Think about this dude constantly.

But my most recent one is for Time War 4 in Beyond. He was just so off in that story, and we had already seen a similar arc for that with Narvin, trying to go back in time to send Valyes to prevent the Daleks from being too powerful. But the motive for Brax was completely wrong.

Mostly because yes, he is a Time-Lord and is from Gallifrey, but the thing with Brax, is that he never wanted to conform to Gallifrey. He's always been the one to get out there, gather knowledge, and explore and change things for the better. He even started the Armegeddon convention and got many aliens to ban from using dangerous weapons! (yes, it was nearly a disaster, but his mind and heart were in the right place and I very much like to think he was the one to inspire the Doctor to travel and have the freedom of traveling.)

It's wrong for me to say he doesn't care about Gallifrey because of course, he does. He wouldn't have become a politician otherwise to try and change things for the better, but Gallifrey has always treated Brax unjustly even after all the sacrifices he has done to try and make his world a better place. He was terrified of the Time War and though he has faced the Daleks in 'Death and the Daleks' after the Fifth Axis invasion, the reasons why he wanted the Beyond didn't sit right. It was more of a Narvin thing to do rather than a Brax thing.

He always seems to get along better with Leela and Benny rather than with the actual Time-Lord's and I think it's because he doesn't have to hide anything from them. The humans can see Brax for who he is, far more than other Time-Lord's can see him or how he sees himself, and personally, I think he likes not having to hide or put up a facade and he actually gets to have some fun with Leela and Benny. Whereas with his own people, they are always so suspicious of each other it's impossible for him to relax or even get to that level with them unless it's someone he absolutely trusts. Which is well...

The character development he has gone through has been really written poorly in the last few boxsets, and I really wish big finish would stop using him as back fodder to keep rescuing Romana and getting her out of sticky situations, mostly from the mess she has made and then have Romana be suspicious and distrusting off him even though HE had saved her and HE would never let ANY harm come to her. EVER.

I also wish, rather than Narvin Brax was added in the latest Bernice Summerfield boxset because even though 'Gallifrey' by Guy adams was disappointing and I do love Narvin, I just wish big finish didn't keep using him and gave Brax an opportunity to shine once in a while. Plus,Brax is much more suited in the Benny universe and I would have loved to have seen Brax react to Benny being on Gallifrey with the unbound Doctor and how he has to face another Alternative Brother off his. I think that would have worked so much better and you could do so much in regards to that relationship as well.

Head empty, only filled with thoughts about Irving Braxiatel.

#apologises went off on a tangent xD #irving braxiatel

please tell me your headcanons for the planet express crew !! im a relatively new follower and want to know ^^ lgbt+, neurodivergencies, anything !!!

HI ANON I AM SO SORRY THIS HAS BEEN IN MY INBOX FOR LIKE 20 YEARS HDJDKHFKG!!!!! FUCK IVE BEEN PUTTING THIS OFF

OK SO. im so glad u asked this cause i will Always be down to talk about futurama!!

fry:

fry has adhd!! and hes autistic :0 he has trouble expressing himself sometimes, like with how much he loves bender and leela. hes bi/pan!! and he has hella freckles. I like to draw him with curly hair sometimes and i hc his eyes are green! I'd also hc he has like pale eyelashes but i never draw them :( fry is touch starved (god same). hes always bouncing his leg. always gotta have some kind of distraction. I also like to draw him with ear piercings

leela:

ahh i love her so much!! leela is bi with a preference for guys. looks really good in a suit. she is BUFF YOU COWARDS!!! she canonically used to play drums which I think is super cool! maybe she plays them every once in a while nowadays, and fry likes to sit and listen. also I think the fact that she grows elbow talons is really cool? idk I know that's not a hc that's just a note lol. also she has a few ear piercings which I draw her with! she looks badass with them. I also think that her hair is naturally wavy, but she tends to straighten it.

bender: I wish his human version had actually been mexican (although with the professors machine, that might have just been the default. still WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE). i hc that he has a chip where his language can switch to spanish. also hes gayer than he thinks he is. especially when it comes to fry. honestly I think they could have kissed at least once in the series? and I think hes touch starved too, I know he gets a lot of action and w/e but i mean in a love way, not just a sex way, u know what I mean? like love touches. more platonic and romantic stuff. what im saying is that bender needs a hug

I dont have many hcs for the rest of the planex crew/main charas but ill give u what ive got!

i like to draw kif with scaly sort of freckles!! i think they look neat. also elbow talons like leela haha, and if i ever draw him from the knees up, I think he'd have spikes or talons of some sort from there too.

everyone loves zoidberg more than they care to admit, especially the professor. come on. they were at least a little gay. zoidberg was my fave before i realized how much i love fry! and he deserved better, but im glad he found the girl whose name escapes me who has no sense of smell.

hermes..... hermes is cool. i don't have many hcs about him I dont think. i love him tho. he might drink a lot of coffee

amy! amy is epic, and i hc that the professor treats her like a granddaughter. i think shes a lesbian tbh. science gay. her and leela? chefs kiss. kickass. (i also think trans girl or nonbinary kif is epic..)

and the professor. probably pan, gives no fucks, hail science and hail satan bro

fuck zapp i hate him. hes compensating greatly for something my dudes. his teeth are probably too white and i would like to kick him off a cliff <3 hes at least a little bit attracted to guys tho. that doesnt make him better but he is a little gay

BASICALLY nobody in futurama is straight and this is a fact. goodnight everyone

#asks #anon #futurama #long post #hcs #also if i got smthn canonically wrong im sorry! i have a shit ass memory u know this

———————————————————————

07.08.19

i hate the title track of the show with lyrics. it's the singer's neha kakkar-esque voice i think. i only like the piano theme.

sona is too pure. no one in this show deserves her, honestly.

but whew, the way he's looking at her.

ravi bhaiyya is this show's khanna. instantly on bhaabi's side.

cuteass fucks.

the only valid sippys. protecc them.

lmao sona's house is soooooooooooooo extra.

"baarish baahar ho rahi hai, mor ghar mein naach rahein hain!"

lmaoooooooooooooooo. sach mein, yeh ghar hai, ya goliyon ki raasleela - ram leela ki set?????

hahahaha omg the lil headshake. i can't.

hohohohoho, symbolic removal of ghadi.

unfffffffffffff.

aaaaaaaah that little reassuring blink he gives her!!!!!!!!!

so soft.

ouff, he's soooooo moofat, no cushioning words, no sugarcoating.

lmao the voiceover during the vamp's scene. i'm really loving the behind the scenes look at how these shows are made.

hahaha chachu got distracted by the cooking scene. saare ke saare sippys ek hi khet ki mooli.

rohit is like chachu pls, it's not worth it, these ppl realllllly DO NOT care about accuracy, but akash just can't take it.

"is baar MUJHE koi problem nahi hai." snort. medical scene hota toh abhi idhar bakheda khada kiya hota.

rohit, pls know this is the exact emotion others experience when YOU start going on about medicine.

lmao nethra is 1000% done with the sippys.

ajit helpfully listing everyone's professions, in case KPK needs any consultants.

ohhhhhhhhhhh mama, i cannot wait till the sippys get to sumit.

also look at the telepathy going on here.

chachu still ranting about how phitkari will not make cooker explode as he's dragged away by sippy bros ("arre gal gayi aapki dal, yaar....")

the only time i'll support ISB is when he's up against this asshole.

"yeh ranveer singh kaun hai???" lol kuch zyaada nahi hua?

so far chachu has been most impressive with the intimidation.

BUT!!!!!!!!! A NEW PLAYER HAS ENTERED GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"bula; security bula. police bula. aur agar himmat hai, toh army bula."

sumit gets points for trying to be intimidating, but oh man i can feel the tension building. aaj toh phitkari se bhi vispot ho hi jaaye.

i just cannot fathom what its like to have THIS much arrogance and entitlement. must be soooooooo nice to be an upper caste cishet man with money.

....................... sumit. serial mein kaam karte ho aur yeh baaaaaaaaasic sa serial wale plot mein hi phas gaye?????????? laakh lanat.

sona has same question.

ok i have had enough of this sasta rahul roy. koi dafa karo yaar.

"khamakhaa inke mamaji ko kyun disturb karein? iske liye toh hum hi kaafi hain."

asjdlaksjdlaksjdlsk sippy strength.

nethra is THE MOST unrealistic character of this show; coz no tellywood producer would be thisssssssss obliging to these shenanigans. like, can you even imaaaaaagine?

oh pooja's here! i was wondering how come YK didn't come with sippy boys.

waise YK ki jagaah nishi ko aana chahiye tha. i would have loved to see her whoop sumit's ass from here to whatever backward bumfuck hellscape he’s from.

lol adjusted her ring for maximum impact.

TASTE THE SIPPY STRENGTH BITCHHHHHHHHHHH *dhoom theme music*

oh i'm glad this relationship has been repaired!

oh pls rohit yeh ainvayi ki naari shakti speech mat do. i hate when they make men do such performative bullshit. if they just HAD to have this, at least it would have been more believable coming from ajit or akash chachu, who haven't been shown to act like assholes to women around them.............

and this idiot girl is falling for it. oh sona, aim higher pls. the bar is literally on the ground with you.

omg this speech is not ending onlyyyyyy. samajh gaye na bhai, bandh kar. tere ko hospital nahi jaana kya aaj?

ajit is the tiniest sippy, but forever (ง'̀-'́)ง (ง'̀-'́)ง (ง'̀-'́)ง

he needs to meet gauri kumari sharma. they'd make the cutest pint-sized fighting team.

*mais voice* aye challlllllllllllll naaaaaaa.

i meannnnnn...... you coulda fired him at first offence, nethra. you're making this decision now, after his shit got to a whole other level? didn’t sonakshi deserve any of this when he misbehaved with her????? you're kinda responsible for enabling the godawful bastard till this point.

........... were the sippys in a collective coma for the last two decades? like even if they don't watch it, who doesn't know that this is how tellywood handles actor replacements????

rohit is on his high horse again. nethra is like chill tf out bro.

ughhhhhh the fondness with which he's looking at her.

"main dil ka doctor hoon, dil ka patient nahi. mere patients ko yeh sab khaana mana hai, mujhe nahi!"

*takes biggest chomp of a samosa ever*

sona’s reactions are most adorable.

ohhhhhh my heart.

ek thank you pe hi flat. ouffff, kya karoon main is ladki ka.

———————————————————————

ohhhhhhhhhh sheeeeeeeeeeeet, he saw the hoodie!!!

"favourite toh hai, par itni bhi nahi. tum rakh lo." ughhhhhhhhhh cute; but again, girl have SOMEEEEEEE standards. you need to have some criteria other than "Y chromosome, age 30 - 40, occasionally polite to me."

5 Moments when Doctor Who SUCKED

Imagine, if you will for a moment, that you are a brand new Doctor Who fan. You don’t even know to call yourself a Whovian yet. You get on a few facebook groups, see a few YouTube videos and discover, much to your dismay, that Doctor Who is, in fact, ruined now. Woe is you who set path down a trail leading toward mediocrity, and eventually utter devastation. I ask you to picture yourself in this manner because I want you to realise that only a person new to Doctor Who would believe such drivel. Everyone else saying this seems to have rose tinted glasses. The rest of us all know that Doctor Who is a show that sometimes requires forgiveness.

Am I saying Doctor Who is a bad show? Not hardly. Much like pizza, Doctor Who is still pretty good, even when it sucks. I would venture to say that one of the things I love most about Doctor Who is how campy and silly it can be at times. Why is it then that so many people are turning their backs on a show that’s filled their lives with so much joy? I’m really trying to avoid the "because sexism," argument. But I can’t help but feel like if you were to switch the Doctor to a male, nobody would be calling the show "ruined." Furthermore, how do you even ruin something that has gone through so many changes throughout the years? Oh right, it’s the Doctor Who fandom. Where the only language allowed is hyperbolic.

Perhaps these fake geeks are mad because making the Doctor a woman takes away their ability to call her a Mary Sue. Especially when you consider the same character once burst out of a golden birdcage and floated to the ground in a wave of Jesus energy. That might mean they’d have to retroactively apply the title to every incarnation. Could the Doctor ever escape the distinction? Unnaturally talented, charismatic, good at everything he does, brilliantly smart. Or is it that these attributes only belong to men? We can believe Tom Baker’s Doctor is capable of walking into a burning furnace to save K9, but hell no, a woman can’t be the Doctor.

You have to face it, Doctor Who has had some terrible moments. Yet we continue to tune in because we forgive it. We forgive when Doctor Who is bad because of the moments when Doctor Who is wonderful. Which I know is how you would describe an abusive partner, but I’m gonna let it slide for a television series. Especially this series. Because unlike that dickhead who never texts you back, Doctor Who can change. If you don’t believe me, please peruse this list of five instances when Doctor Who was terrible.

1. The John Nathan-Turner era

My God, how could I not start with this? While there is no denying there are some wonderful moments in JNT's Doctor Who, it's easily my least favourite era of Doctor Who. And as much as I personally love Colin Baker, his Doctor got the lion's share of poor scripts and erroneous costume choices. Never has a man more game for a role, been dealt such a bad hand.

Introducing a Doctor that was cowardly, and even violent toward his companion, was seen as a bridge too far. While I understand the desire to try something new with the character, this wasn't the way to go about it. While the show begins to pick up around the end of McCoy's tenure, it's evident that this is more the influence of studio notes and the hard work of script editor Andrew Cartmel. I can't think of anyone less suited for the job of showrunner.

It seems that for a good nine years, Doctor Who had a madman at the helm, and not in that cute Matt Smith way. Dressing in flamboyant Hawaiian shirts, Nathan-Turner brought that same brash sensibility to the program. From Six's garish costume, to question mark lapels, to Mel's entire timeline, it's a big fat mess with him sitting in the middle. Add to all of this, the allegations of him being a predatory creep toward young male fans, and it's a surprise the show ever survived. Oh wait, it didn't.

2. Racism

Ok, maybe I should have started with this. While Doctor Who has taken efforts to address its racist past, it still happened. They drop a racist slur in "The Celestial Toymaker." Even the term "celestial," is used to mean "Chinese," in describing the titular character played by the very white Michael Gough, fully clad in Oriental silks. This tradition follows into "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," when Li H'sen Chang was played by John Bennett.

It's an uncomfortable miracle that they didn't allow Patrick Troughton to play the role of the Second Doctor in brownface. Not to say his era escaped the odd bit of racism. While Toberman in "Tomb of the Cybermen," gets a few heroic moments, he also gets none of the lines. Cast as mute manservant, we learn nothing about the inner workings of a black man who died so that white people may live.

Later, the show used characters like Ace to talk about racism. She shows disgust with a "No Coloureds," sign hanging in the boarding house she's staying in. When the evil Morgaine had her under mind control, it was calling her friend Ling Tai "yellow," and "slant-eyed," that she was able to snap out of it. Real Ace would never say such things. But even with that groundwork laid, the new series still struggles. From the Doctor being weirdly dismissive toward black people, to it taking nearly 50 years for the first black TV companion, Doctor Who is still grappling with its race issues. Yet you all kept watching.

3. Ace gets molested

This one is a bit of a lesser known infraction as it takes place in the books after the show had already been cancelled. Kicking off the Virgin Media "New Adventures," is 1991's "Timewyrm: Genesys," by John Peel. In it, the Doctor and Ace travel to ancient Mesopotamia, where they meet King Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh wastes no time going full blown creep, groping Ace and pawing at her like he was Joe Biden.

The Doctor's reaction to this is to tell Ace to just go with it, and that it's part of the culture. While I agree that, yes, Gilgamesh may not be the sophisticated modern man that hugs a bro and supports equal pay, the Doctor's reaction is some straight up bullshit. If you're going to go there, maybe try saying something with it other than "Women are men's property." This could have been a great opportunity for the Doctor to puff up and use Gilgamesh's own primitive mindset against him. "How dare you touch my woman!" the very tiny Doctor could say to the very tall man. It would have been a funny visual, mixed with the Doctor utilising male privilege in a way that helps his companion.

This is really an objection I have against most of John Peel's work. He writes women in that "she boobed boobily," manner. Much to my dismay, Peel is one of the sole writers of the Dalek books, so any time you want to enjoy a tale involving our enemies from Skaro, you have to also partake in his brand of women. I'm talking women being described as buxom babes with shoulder length blonde hair, voices like baby goddesses, and legs up to their neck. While on the other hand, we get men described as having a hat and probably some other features. I may be embellishing, but seriously, John Peel, your women suck. Yet it still spawned a rather large book series.

4. Minuet in Hell

Doctor Who has never been known to nail accents. Tegan is vaguely Australian. And Peri must have moved around a lot due to the fact that nothing about her American accent sounds like a regional dialect. That doesn't mean that Robert Jezek's Foghorn Leghorn meets the KFC Colonel performance as " Brigham Elisha Dashwood III," is any less painful. But bad accents aside, the biggest demon in this Big Finish audio is one of Doctor Who's oldest enemies- sexism!

While I understand that Charlotte Pollard may be a fan favourite among many Big Finish listeners, her character will forever be tainted for me, and it's all due to this story. In it, Charlotte, or Charley, gets literally human trafficked. They kidnap her, force her to wear lingerie in a very creepy and misguided attempt to add some sexiness to the story and force her to wait on rich businessmen at a casino.

Now, allow me to clarify, it's not the human trafficking that taints her in my eyes. People who get trafficked are victims, obviously. What bothers me is that neither Gary Russell or Alan W Lear thought to give her a single line of dialogue where she protests. She doesn't even complain a little. Sure, the Doctor often gains intel by getting captured, but this is ridiculous. Add this to the weird disjointed story, and "Minuet in Hell," easily serves as one of the lowest points in not just Big Finish history, but Doctor Who as a whole.

5. Sexism

(Image by Billy Darswed)

It makes the most sense that this is the last one on the list. Because let's be honest, it's a huge problem in the fandom. A lot of early Doctor Who audios and books smack of moments when it feels as though the writers never considered the existence of female fans. Women are often utilised as a means to make the Doctor look better, and for the baddies to look scarier. Mind you, it's not always been a pantheon of swooners and screamers. We got the occasional Sarah Jane, Leela, and Ace.

Even the strong women are long-suffering. Liz Shaw (and her real-life actress Caroline John) left the role of companion over sexism. Beginning her time on Doctor Who as UNIT's top scientific advisor, she was demoted to assistant, holding beakers for the male Doctor who stole her job. The Fourth Doctor acted similarly when telling Romana her qualifications had nothing on real life experience. The same excuse has been used for decades to keep educated women out of the workforce. "Come back when you've got some experience, sweetheart."

While Rose Tyler was a refreshingly real character with a family and life of her own, it doesn't mean that she wasn't horribly mismanaged. In "The Stolen Earth," we see a darker, more serious version of her character. The Rose we used to know is now fully devoted toward one mission and one mission only- getting her man back. It's as though her personality disappears and is fully dependent on having the Doctor in her life. She rises to greatness so that she might bask in his once more. Maybe it's romantic, but maybe it's bad writing.

If you were to ask me who my favourite Doctor Who writers are, I'd have to say Robert Holmes is up there, and he wrote "Talons of Weng-Chiang," a serial full of yellowface. I'd also say Russell T Davies, who wrote the aforementioned "Stolen Earth," and also saw it in his wisdom to turn Shirley Henderson's "Ursula," into a blowjob dispensing garden brick. Or even Steven Moffat who believes the Statue of Liberty could sneak around New York, undetected, and that nobody notices his predilection toward dominatrix women in stiletto heels.

In my review for "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos," I quipped that Chris Chibnall had not yet written a truly great episode of Doctor Who. However, since "Resolution," I can no longer say such a thing. I may even go as far as to say it's one of the best Dalek episodes ever. It would seem then that, given enough time, he could become a great showrunner. And it seems that given enough time, any writer, yourself included, could one day write the latest "worst episode ever."

Every new era has had its stumbles. Not every Doctor gets it correct 100% of the time. Capaldi decided he was the kind of Doctor to exit through the window, a trait we never saw again. The Fifth Doctor decided to sleep his way through his first adventure. The Eighth Doctor was "human on his mother's side." And Ten took so long to regenerate that I'm beginning to think it was old age, and not radiation that did him in. If you can look at all of these stupid, stupid moments and still say you love Doctor Who, then maybe, just maybe, you can get over a bit of spotty writing, like you always have. Or is it still the female Doctor thing? Oh...

⋆ ◦ ° ☾ demet özdemir + cis female + she/her — have you seen ferah kaya? they sure have been hanging out at city hall a lot recently. they are a twenty seven year old known as the philanthropist, and they currently work for the cobras as a politician (mayor) , which they’ve been doing for one year. a bisexual aries, they are independent + fiery, as well as stubborn + impulsive. leather briefcase, dark lipstick, red wine in a glass. × ya girl switching out Leela ×

CHECK OUT HER PINEREST!

A/N: Sorry I had to let Leela go. She was very loved and I will miss her but here I bring you my newest gal! Check her out below the cut!

Ferah was always an ambitious person. Born and raised in Valdez, her aspirations were bigger than most. As a teenager, she was aware of the reality of things. Gangs were an issue in Valdez and in her own home. It was easy to see that surplus money was flowing into her family’s bank account and it didn’t take long for Ferah to come to the realization it was because her parents were involved with the Cobras.

Both her mother and father are important figures within the gang. Her mom cooks books and her father a retired public advocate. Ferah’s ambition and upbringing in the political world is what pushed her in the same direction. She started off book keeping with her mother while she was studying for her undergraduate and with the help of certain prominent members, Ferah put together a campaign to run for public advocate like her father. By the age of 22, she was already in city hall.

Ferah did not waste time once the elections rolled around again and at 26, she ran for mayor which she won by a landslide. She likes to think it was because of her merits but a lot of people think it’s because of her family’s influence. Whatever the case, she is one of the youngest citizens to become mayor and she uses her youth to not only convey her platforms but to seem relatable.

At 17, she ended up pregnant by a young man who is now a Savage. Her parents hid the pregnancy from others, going as far as sending her away to Turkey for a year where she finished her senior year of high school and had her son, Aydin. Aydin is now ten years old and for the first two years of his life, he was raised by her parents and an au pair. When Ferah realized she was losing out on being a mother and grew tired of her parents embarrassment, she took the reigns on raising her son.

Her Political Slogan is “Ferah: A voice for you.”

Her current platforms are:

Fostering positive relationships within the gangs.

Planned Parenthood Funding.

Limiting crime on the streets (public safety)

LGBTQ adoption rights in Valdez

How to make the city budget work for all parties involved

Rights for Immigration Healthcare and Education

In-city community college covered tuition

Embracing diversity

infrastructure and the building of better transportation

The importance of education in our city.

Personality Traits/skills:

Ferah will fight for what she wants and she will TAKE what she wants. She doesn’t use her family name to get by. (others do it for her) Ferah is effervescent, lighting up every room she’s in. While many know her as kind and diplomatic, she isn’t afraid of showing her claws and bearing her teeth if need be.

Incredibly skilled in hand to hand combat, outgoing, multi-lingual (English, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Spanish), intelligent, giving, compassionate. Always has several cards up her sleeve.

Plan A didn’t work? Welcome to plan b, c, d, and the escape plan, naturally.

Wanted Connections:

The baby daddy: Was it a one night stand? Was it teenage puppy love? Did fools rush in? Did she trust that one time without protection? Their son Aydin is 10 years old. Let’s discuss! Let’s make it angsty ;) (0/1)

The diplomatic connection: All is fair in politics and gang rivalry...right? This person is a Savage Ferah gets a long well with or at least that’s what the million dollar smile and tight handshake say. Of course, she’s not going to give in to the enemy that easily.

Ride or die: Give it to me. Give it all to me!!!!!! (1/?) Stephanie, Esme

Childhood friends: Ferah attended school in Valdez all her life so if your muse did to and they would love a bff, hit a girl up!

I like the way you work it: No diggity. No doubt. Someone (or several someones) she keeps around when nights get lonely. (3/?) Honey, Anton, Will

The bodyguard: Chosen and assigned to watch her back during these trying times in Valdez. She’s become very close to him over time and her son as well. He’s great at what he does and looks amazing in a suit. Ferah should be careful that he doesn’t catch her staring. (1/1) Rider Lorne.

Well, if you made it this far, I commend you! My brain is fried so I’m sure there’s more we can work out!!! SLAM THAT HEART IF YOU WANT TO PLOT

The Age of the Wolf (5/9)

Rating: Mature overall, this chapter is teen

Pairing: Eighth Doctor x Rose Tyler

Written for @doctorroseprompts and Eight x Rose August. Prompt: Dimension hopping!Rose meets Eight / What if Rose was with Eight or met Eight during the Time War?

Read it on Tumblr: Chapter 1 / Chapter 2 / Chapter 3 / Chapter 4 / Chapter 5 / Chapter 6 / Chapter 7 / Chapter 8 / Chapter 9

AO3 TSP

Rose’s eyes fluttered open as the light from her bedroom window blanketed over her. Whatever criticism could be made about Gallifrey, the view from her bed was not one of them.

The Citadel was nestled between the mountains of Solace and Solitude. The Doctor and Rose’s suite of rooms faced the snow-capped top of Solitude - the very same mountain where the Doctor had lived and played as a boy. He’d had dirty blond hair back then, but was just as mischievous as the man he’d grow into. It was a sight she never dreamed to see when she’d first met him, and so she kept it close to her heart for when it was gone.

She stretched and the sheets dropped below her chest. The masculine groan at her side had her rolling over. “Doctor! You’re never still here when I wake up.”

“What can I say? You wore me out last night. Besides, I was enjoying the view when I woke, though I admit I’m enjoying it even more now.” His gaze dropped to his wife’s breast.

Rose rolled her eyes, and cuddled into the Doctor’s chest. “Git.”

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her letting his fingers lightly play along her spine.

They both spent the moment lost in thought. Rose staring at the view of the mountain and thinking of her other Doctors; the Doctor staring at the top of Rose’s head also thinking of her future with him. He rested his cheek on her crown and asked, “How long were you separated from me?”

“What?” Rose looked up at him. “Why’s it matter?”

“I suppose it doesn’t. Not really. I was just curious.” He shrugged it off and went back to caressing her hip.

Rose turned to fully face him and raised her eyebrow.

He sighed. “It’s just sometimes you get this look and I can tell you’re thinking about…him.”

“You’re jealous? Of yourself?”

“No! Well, maybe. Just a bit. ”

“You’re unbelievable. No, I don’t know why I’m surprised.” Rose snickered. “You are exactly the same man.”

“I-”

She sat up and poked his chest. “No. Listen here, Doctor. I am yours. Yours. This you that I married, the first you that I met and fell in love with, the following you that I hope to one day return to, and-”

“Wait. Are you saying that you’ve known more than one of my future incarnations?”

Rose’s jaw dropped. “Yeah. Couldn’t you tell?” Rose tapped her temple.

“No. You’ve done an excellent job of shielding your past and my future. Not that I would look, even if you hadn’t.”

“Oh. I didn’t even realize…” Rose bit her lip and then tried to contain her smile as she raised her eyes to him. “Since we’re on the subject, let me tell you that springing regeneration on me while it’s happening without really explaining is not the best way to go about things.”

“Rose, I…I what?”

Rose grasped his hand. “Doctor, I love you.”

He squeezed back. “I love you too.”

“I know you do, but I need to say this. I love you. All of you. The ones I’ve known, the ones I’ve never known, and the ones I hope to know in the future. I didn’t have my first Doctor for very long, maybe about eight months and most of that was spent dancing around our feelings. Then my next Doctor...we had only a year before we were separated, and while we were more of a proper couple, there was still so much left unsaid. And to answer your earlier question, we were separated about 3 years before I found this you. That more time apart than we had together. I barely had any time with your future selves and I don’t want to feel guilty for cherishing that time with you.”

“Oh, Rose…”

“Every little moment we had was my foundation for this. What we have right now. And I need you to be okay with that.”

“Of course I am. And I’m so sorry for making you feel otherwise. My only excuse is that I’m a complete and utter git. Honestly, I’m humbled by the love you have, have had, and will have for any and all of my future selves. I promise to try harder not to be a jealous old sod.”

Rose flung herself into his arms. “Thank you.”

“No, thank you. Thank you for loving me and not giving up on me.”

“You better get used to it, ‘cos you’re stuck with me. Never gonna leave you.”

The Doctor pulled back from their embrace. “I’m going to hold you to that.”

Rose wrapped her hand around the back of his neck and pulled him into a brillant snog.

An incessant knocking at their door finally had them pulling apart.

The Doctor pulled Rose back to him and kissed along her neck. “Ignore it, darling.”

Rose angled her head back to give him more room. “What if it’s important?”

“Whoever it is will come back.” The Doctor reached a particularly sensitive spot that had Rose shivering.

“Mmm.” The knocking only increased in force and volume. “Sounds important.”

The Doctor sighed and stopped kissing his wife. “Can’t a man spend one leisurely morning in bed with his bondmate?”

Rose giggled as he stood - getting a nice eyeful of his bum - and pulled on his dressing gown. There was no hiding what they’d been up to last night and this morning. His hair was a mess, his lips looked well kissed, and there were a few bruises peppered along his neck and chest.

“Go answer the door, and I’ll meet you out there in a mo’.”

The Doctor leaned over to kiss Rose before striding out of the bedroom to answer the urgent knocking.

He pushed the button that would open the door with more force than was necessary.

“Leela! What are you doing here?”

The Doctor’s former companion stood leaning against the doorframe with a small smile upon her face.

“Hello, Doctor.”

The Doctor pulled her into an embrace and then dragged her into the room.

“My friend, how are you?”

“This is not a social call, Doctor.”

“Oh?”

“Romana sent me. The council voted to resurrect the Master this morning.”

“What?”

“They felt he has certain...qualities that would be beneficial to them in the fight against the Daleks.”

“They’re idiots.”

“They’re desperate.”

“He’s completely self serving. If they think he’d be a loyal soldier…”

Rose sidled up behind the Doctor and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Who’s your friend, Doctor?”

The Doctor turned and smiled. “Darling, this is Leela. She was my companion in my fourth body. Also human.”

“Oh! Another human on Gallifrey?”

“Leela, my wife, Rose.”

Leela held out her hand for Rose to shake. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Rose. I’ve heard much about you and have been looking forward to meeting you.”

She took it easily. “You too.” Rose turned to the Doctor. “What was all that about no humans on Gallifrey before we bonded?”

The Doctor ran his hands through his curls. “Ah, well generally that’s the case, but Leela is married to a Time Lord and as such has the same privileges as you.”

Rose faced Leela with a brilliant grin. “I hope we can be friends. It’ll be so nice to have another human to talk to.”

Leela was taken aback for a moment by the intensity of Rose’s smile, but found herself nodding. “It will be nice. It’s not always easy being an outsider among the Time Lords. Not that I let them push me around.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything else from someone the Doctor used to travel with. Told me once he only takes the best. That’s us.” Rose winked at her new friend, who caught a glance of the besotted expression on the Doctor’s face and laughed heartily.

“I think I’m going to like you very much, Rose.”

The Doctor mumbled, “I’m glad you’re going to like it, I have a feeling this will be very bad for me.”

Rose hugged his arm. “Hush you, I can’t wait to hear all her stories about your younger self.”

“That’s exactly what I mean, Rose!”

Leela looked between the two with a smirk. “Maybe we could get together later in the week for dinner. I’ll bring Andred.”

“Andred?”

“My husband.”

“Oh, wonderful.” Rose clapped her hands.

The Doctor played with the tie of his dressing gown. “Right, well, erm, when are they going through with it? Bringing the Master back?”

“In a few hours.”

“So soon?”

“Rassilon’s adamant for this to happen as soon as possible.”

“Is there the full support of the Council?”

“Well, no. There are a few that have reservations, many of whom are still upset over your accusations of leaks during your last two assignments.”

The Doctor rubbed at his temples. “Thank you, Leela, for letting me know. Tell Romana I’ll be dropping by this afternoon.”

Leela nodded and swiftly left the room. Rose rubbed the Doctor’s back. “Who’s the Master?”

The Doctor glanced at Rose in surprise. “Well, at least I know he won’t plague my future.”

Rose’s eyes widened at the slip.

“It’s all right, my dear. He may not be in my far future, but he’ll be plenty of trouble in our near future. The Master is…” The Doctor rubbed his chin. “How do I describe him?”

“Time Lord, I’m guessing?”

“Yes. Of the same age. Went to school together. Friends even. Or I thought we were, but he went mad. Or maybe he always was. Tried everything in his power to destroy me or those that mattered to me. I hadn’t seen him for ages after I left Gallifrey with the TARDIS, but he caught up with me on Earth when I was exiled there in my third body.”

Rose gasped. “Exiled?”

“I’ve never told you any of this?”

“You don’t talk much of the past. I’ve learned what little I do know because every once in a while you say something and I listen, but really, when I think of it, all I have of your past are a collection of crumbs.”

The Doctor clasped Rose’s hand. “I’m sorry.”

“No, I know it’s painful for you to…”

“Not all of my past is painful. There were wondrous and beautiful moments. As my wife, I want you to know all of me, and I’ll endeavor to do more on that score.”

Rose squeezed his hand. “And you won’t mind? I mean future you?”

“Rose, if I am, as you say, ‘the same man,’ then I can tell you nothing would please me more. I am often so lonely, even among friends, because I feel that I’m not understood. I’ve never quite fit in here. To have someone, a bondmate, that loves and accepts me for all that I am and can share that with me...well, it’s my most secret desire. So, no. I don’t think I’ll be upset if you’re that person, because I honestly can’t imagine anything I’d want more.”

“Oh, Doctor.” Rose threw herself into the Doctor’s arms and buried her head in the crook of his neck. “There’s nothing I want more than that as well.”

“I’m glad we’re in accord. Now, my darling wife, as much as it pains me to say, I think we should get ready and go find Romana. See if there is anything we can do to stop this.”

Rose kissed his cheek and nodded. “And you can tell me all about this Master bloke on the way.”

“Deal.”

The Doctor and Rose entered the Council chambers and were promptly surrounded by other Time Lords.

An older gentleman Rose had never seen before spoke first. “Doctor, did you hear about Narvin’s plan to resurrect the Master?”

The Doctor’s eyes widened. “Narvin’s behind it?”

The old man inclined his head and pronounced, “He’s in the matrix room now. It is probably already too late.”

A Time Lord that Rose recognized from her interview with Rassilon drew their attention. “Doctor, it seems strange that Rassilon would instruct that the Master be brought back.” Rose thought he might have been from the Doctor’s House, Lungbarrow, and slated him as ally.

A Time Lady with shrewd eyes considered them both. “Yes, gravely suspect given your accusations regarding your past few assignments and your history with him.”

The Doctor’s cousin glanced back and forth between the Doctor and the Time Lady, not quite knowing what to make of the accusatory tone to the seemingly obvious statement. He was quick to assure though. “Your claims only strengthen with this development.”

A Time Lord that Rose immediately caused hairs to rise on the back of Rose’s neck sneered at the group. “Don’t be ridiculous. The Doctor’s...colorful past had no influence on this decision. It is for the benefit of Gallifrey.”

Before Rose could open her mouth, the Doctor spoke her thoughts out loud. “How could Gallifrey benefit from a madman being brought back?”

“He’s a skilled warrior. And yes, I admit his previous behavior could be somewhat troubling, but he is cunning and savage and if that is what we need to beat the Daleks, then so be it. For the good of Gallifrey!” The man cheered. Several others in the room picked it up with gusto, others half-heartedly, and the ones that Rose could now determine to be friends of the Doctor remained silent and thoughtful.

The Doctor snorted and crossed his arms. “He would sell out his own mother if it was to further his own purposes. You’re fools to think he would serve Gallifrey, when if at any point betraying the Time Lords to the enemy benefited him, he wouldn’t hesitate.”

Rose was trying to memorize the faces of those who seemed to be antagonistic to her husband when Romana joined the group.

“Romana, you have stories to tell of the Master’s treachery.”

“You know very well, all of these people are well acquainted with the Master and his past. I’m afraid very little I say would cause anyone to change their minds on the matter. And regardless, it’s too late. He’s back and gifted with a full cycle of regenerations.”

“They wouldn’t!”

“The would and they did.”

“What’s Narvin thinking?”

“Oh, that wasn’t Narvin’s doing. That was actually voted on by the High Council-”

“What?”

“-which you would know if you ever deigned to attend a Chamber session. They felt that with the War on, he would go through them faster than normal.”

“That’s a mistake. He can’t be trusted!”

“He is our best hope!”

Rose took a step back from the squabbling and backed into her brother-in-law.

“Brax!”

He places his fingers on his lips and led her away from the small, but loud group. In a low voice he explained, “They’ve found another prophecy. Luckily this one in no way points to you or the Doctor. It mentions an old Time Lord legend, so that will take some of the doubt away from those that still suspect you. I’m afraid not all, but enough to let the two of you breathe a little easier.”

“Thanks.”

The Doctor walked up behind them and wrapped an arm around Rose. “What’s this about being able to breathe easier?”

Rose turned to him. “They found another prophecy and it doesn’t implicate either of us.”

“Thank the stars. What’s it say?”

“It mentions the Hybrid.”

“The Hybrid?”

Brax nodded. “It says, ‘On the last day of the Time War, walking through the ashes of the Time Lords, the Hybrid will stand over the ruins of Gallifrey and unravel the Web of Time, breaking a billion billion hearts to heal its own.’”

“But that’s an old Matrix prophecy. It’s been around for ages.”

“The second half of it was an old Matrix prophecy, but they found a completed scroll in the Cloisters that ties it specifically to the Time War. Luckily for you two that fact has diverted attention away from the both of you. Rassilon’s assigned a small group to scour the Cloisters and the Matrix to discover any little bit of information about the Hybrid and who or what it is. There’ve always been whispers about it being a Dalek, perhaps the Emperor, since they’re both known enemies and hybrid creatures.”

The Doctor scoffed. “As if Daleks have hearts to mend.”

Brax smiled. “Yes, well, it’s of benefit to you to keep our focus trained in that direction anyway, yes?”

The Doctor sheepishly ran his hand through his hair. “Right.”

Brax clicked his heels together and jauntily saluted Rose. “Well, I’m off. I’m going to see if anything in my collection provides clues to this newest mystery.” He pointed at the Doctor. “Behave yourself, brother.”

“Oi!”

Rose patted his chest. “He never does.”

Brax winked at Rose. “Still, I have hope he might listen one day.”

After waving Braxiatel off, the Doctor turned Rose in his embrace. “Well, there’s nothing for it. With the Master back it’s best if we try and stay out of the Capital as much as possible. Let’s find out what the Time Lords wish for us to do next.”

The Doctor and Rose were in their suite preparing for a trip to Marinus. “So Marinus? Anything you tell me about it? What to expect?”

The Doctor was digging through his various chests of bits and bobs or as Rose referred to it, ‘junk,’ for anything that might be useful on their latest assignment. Every so often, he’d shove something in his pockets. “Oh, hmm...was there once in my first body.”

“Was this when you traveled with your granddaughter?”

The Doctor smiled at the memory. “Yes. Susan. You know about her?”

“You mentioned her once after…” She laughed. “After dropping the bombshell on me that you’d- that you were a dad.” She gave him a crooked smile. “I was insanely jealous, but trying to hide it. I mean we were...dating isn’t really the right word, but…” She shrugged. “For all intents and purposes, we were. Considered us a proper couple anyway. You’d never mentioned a wife or family…” Rose’s eyes went wide. “Wait. If you’ve already got a wife... But-”

The Doctor dropped what he was doing and rushed over to her. “The only wife I’ve got right now is you. My first wife, and honestly she was never what you are to me, passed into the Matrix a long time ago.”

Rose’s brow furrowed.

“It’s where Time Lords go when we’ve gone past our last regeneration. We upload a part of ourselves into the Matrix so that our sum of knowledge can be accessed for the benefit of future generations. It was never a love match. Though I tried…” The Doctor shook off the memories. “We were determined to have the most compatible TNA and produced two children via the looms. That’s all she was interested in. She was a proper Time Lady and never really could understand why I couldn’t be. Even my children, who are still knocking about, don’t like to have much to do with me. I embarrass them.”

Rose hugged the Doctor. “You don’t embarrass me. I think you’re the most wonderful man I’ve ever met.”

The Doctor clutched her tighter. “Thank you for that.”

When they pulled apart, Rose was looking out the window and chewing her lip.

“What is it, darling?”

“Oh…” She met the Doctor’s concerned eyes. “I just never considered that your children are adult Time Lords and out there somewhere.”

“Does that bother you?”

“No. I...I was just wondering if I might meet them.”

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea. They don’t particularly like me and I’d hate for them to take their dislike out on you.”

“Would it be any better for me to run into them somewhere with them knowing who I am, but me in the dark about it? Because let’s face it, all the Time Lords know who and what I am.”

“You’re right of course.” The Doctor sighed. “I’ll introduce you when next we’re back.”

Rose wrapped her arms around the Doctor’s neck and kissed him.

They broke apart and the Doctor looked over his shoulder and at his collection of mechanical parts. “Let’s finish packing. I’ve an idea to help the Voord.”

Rose grinned fondly at her clever husband. “Of course you do.”

After Marinus, the Doctor and Rose spent the next many decades fighting the Dalek’s and their allies across the galaxy. They battled the Nightmare Child, took on an Army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres, eliminated the Skaro Degradations, and in all of this did their best to prevent the Time Lords from breaking the laws of time in their efforts to win the war. They fought Technomancers and tried to prevent the return of the Great Vampires. They traveled through time to stop a plan by the Daleks to wipe out the children of Gallifrey. They became beloved to the average gallifreyans, but their sense of morality and justice caused them only trouble with the Time Lords. One by one, Rassilon called for the use of the weapons contained within the Omega Arsenal. More often than not, the Doctor and Rose stepped in to undo the damage to the fabric of time that those weapons caused or would have caused. The met many people in their travels, and equally lost many friends to the war. They gained names in both fear and respect across the cosmos, but they never stopped being the Doctor and Rose Tyler.

I've created some cover images for my Gallifrey / Pacific Rim AU fan fiction. I know this is an obscure fandom cross-over, and may not have a very wide audience, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. I am my own fic's biggest fan. It's primarily a Romana/Leela character study with lots of angst, with Narvin and Braxiatel playing fairly large supporting roles. Check out the link above to read the fic on AO3 and leave a comment letting me know what you think.

See below for cover images for some of the individual chapters:

(Also, please excuse actors' heads sloppily photoshopped onto other people's bodies.)

Chapter 2: Romana spars with Leela in preparation for her first Drift

Chapter 3: Narvin at his workstation on the command deck

Chapter 4: Co-pilots Leela and Romana prepare to board their jaeger

Chapter 5: Braxiatel and Narvin brief shatterdome personnel

Chapter 6: Narvin and Brax suit up to assist their friends

Chapter 9 is --IN WORK-- and should be out soon-ish.

Part 26: plans

More here: @aliens-and-shiz

Idea credit: @myhiddenneeds

Anne loved the space suit model they used on Pluto. The latest iteration, designed and built there. It was a thin suit, yet preserved all the body heat and pressure needed to keep one alive, very comfortable, and didn’t restrict movement. She jumped 50 feet, landing on top of the Graviton Array she was building. She crouched down, opened a hatch, plugged in 3 wires, flipped a switch, then sighed. It’s done. She jumped off and walked toward the airlock, making sure to hold onto the railing they put in from the base to the array.

She stepped into the airlock and the door shut behind her. Oh I fucking hate this part.

The small room filled with air and the artificial gravity slowly increased to make it Earth-normal. It was an intensely nauseating experience. She learned the hard way a long time ago not to eat anything before a space walk.

The gravity normalized, and the other door opened. She walked through, taking her helmet off, and shook her hair out. She hung it on the hook provided, hit the release button in her suit, and it came apart and fell on the floor. She rolled her head on her neck, stretching the muscles to avoid cramps.

Fuck I hate doing that. At least the array is done.

She brought her wrist to her mouth. “Caiden. It’s done. You should be able to talk to the Torus now. It’s coded 01-001-02.”

“Oh, yay! Thank you so so so much Anne! Do you want to come up to talk to your mother?” He said cheerfully.

That man is way too happy.

“No, I’m gonna go see if Nate needs help on the Hellfire. And check on it’s Array. Need to make sure they’re doing it right so far.”

“Alrighty!!! Well, keep your comm open because I’ll connect you to her if she needs you!!”

“Alright buddy.”

Caiden’s happiness was not the contagious type. More of the infuriating type. Even Earth getting attacked didn’t phase it. “Oh, don’t worry Anne! You saw Abby, you know whatever did this is in for a treat!”

Fucking cheery motherfucker.

She walked to the lift, and pressed the button that would take her to the massive hangar they’re building the Hellfire in. The door closed and she started descending into the Plutonian crust.

————————

General Thane paced the USF High Council Strategic Command. President Falhaven, President Petrov, and Chancellor Mai had already arrived, with the Prime Director of the Martian Union and the Admiral of the Venutian Floating Colonies on their way.

Dr. Ricardo Sanchez sat at the head of the table, quietly drinking his whiskey, his daughter Imani at his side.

They should be here by now.

“Calm down linda, it’s not like we’re going to get attacked again soon. Hell the third American Civil War is over because of this!”

“Jacob I couldn’t give a shit about your civil war,” she snapped, “Africa’s not coming because you’re here, and Australia won’t come because Dr. Sanchez is here. I’m not providing troops to your bloody war, it’s my job to KEEP THE LOT OF YOU IN LINE.”

“Oh. Right. Sorry Linda. By the way, does everyone already know about Ludwig that’s here?” Falhaven spoke.

The doctor spoke next, “Yes. This one was a particular bitch about it.” Sanchez pointed to Thane at that comment.

“Ah. I see. Why won’t Australia come because of you?”

“Oh, they blame me for that massive earthquake in 2079 still. Even though I didn’t cause that one, I caused the -burp- one in 2063 and already apologized for it. Sydney still hasn’t recovered despite my funding.” He took another swig.

“Ahh. Well, Thane, with that you cannot tell Mars or- WELL WOULD YOU LOOK WHO IT IS!?” Falhaven exclaimed, standing up and greeting the leaders who had finally shown up. The Martian and Venutian leaders, Admiral Leela and Director San, who were glaring at each other.

Ah fuck this shit.

The leaders all sat down at the long conference table and began chatting, Mars and Venus sitting as far away from each other as possible. Thane slammed her hand on the desk.

“Alright. Now, you all know why you are here. From this moment on, you all must put aside your differences- San and Leela- and we have a war to plan.”

The room quieted extremely quickly.

“Thank you. Now, as leaders of the planets, each and every one of you, with the exception of Imani, have a responsibility. I need troops, Graviton Arrays, and I need jump drives. Now, I will need a minimum of 300 million troops -on top of the 500 million we already have- to fully staff every ship and the Torus.”

The whole table groaned.

“They’ve taken 1 billion of our people, and countless other losses. The infrastructure of Earth is not able to handle that!” Chancellor Mai exclaimed.

“…If you don’t participate you lose our protection. It’s that simple. I will also need you to send a total of 50,000 volunteers to Pluto -please note they will not be allowed to leave for the duration of their life- because Abbadon worked. I want at least 3 Hellfire-class Dreadnaughts constructed within the next year. They’ve already started one, and Xu and my daughter are there putting a jump drive and Graviton array on it. Please know that we have also equipped the Torus with a jump drive thanks to Dr. Sanchez. He put some, well, Dr. Sanchez pizazz into Xu’s plans. So we can go damn near anywhere in this hunk of—“

“DON’T TELL ME YOURE GOING TO TAKE THE TORUS WITH YOU!?” The Venutian Admiral roared.

“Calm the fuck down Leela. Yes we will. It’s the most protected vessel in the USF fleet, and the only thing that can reliably lead a ground war. Don’t worry, I’ll be leaving 5 destroyers, 50 cruisers, and 1,000 fighters. Unless you want me to take those too?”

“I- I don’t.”

“That’s what I thought. Now, I’m gonna patch us into Pluto and we can talk to Anne and Xu.”

She pressed a button, and Dr. Caiden Smith answered the comm.

“OH HELLO! IS THIS THE HIGH COUNCIL!?”

Oh god why did he have to pick up.

She groaned. “Yes, Caiden, it is. Patch me into my daughter and Nate. But stay on the line.”

“Ok!!!”

There was some shuffling and murmuring through the audio. Nate popped into the feed.

“-the fuck do you want now Caiden! I’m under the Fucking gravity generator and if this moves SO MUCH AS AN INCH this whole planet is gone!”

“Captain Xu, this is General Thane.”

There was a long silence. “How can I help you General?”

“Well we’re having a high council meeting, and want to know how the installation of your jump drive is going, as well as the whole construction of Hellfire 1 is coming.”

Something fell in the background. “Well, uh its about half done. How long did you want it again?”

“At least a mile.”

“Well good news, it’s uhh gonna be 15 miles long. We’ll need a class 7 Antimatter Generator to power the vessel itself, and at least another three class 9 generators just for Abbadon. I’m pretty sure if you brought the Torus here you could put an Abbadon on-“

Dr. Sanchez interrupted, “Nathan, how long til it’s done? This is taking too long.”

“Oh. Yeah. A month if we rush it. It helped they had started building before we got here.”

Thane shook her head. That’s too long. “Thank you. Also I appreciate you uploading the drive schematics to the USF database. We’re gonna start production on Mars soon.”

“Oh, that’s no need. The infrastructure for large scale manufacturing is already on Io. Talk to Lieutenant White. He should be able to equip… 5 ships per day? Maybe more if you get more people there.”

“That’s good to hear. So, about our first target.” The whole mood of the room changed. They started muttering to themselves. Sanchez began glaring at Thane, wondering what she did to find a target.

She continued, “I have made an agreement with the prisoner of the alien species that attacked us. He will give us some locations of bases that he knows of. The biggest issue with this war is we can’t just destroy each planet, they have made slaves of the native species of each planet. So, we’re going to make each planet surrender one by one, and free the slaves.”

The room was silent. The doctor began chugging his flask.

“Alright. Glad you all agree. There’s a rogue planet about 57 light years away that he mentioned that I believe would be a good target. It’s where they keep their longest living and most valuable slave-prisoners, due to the high rare-earth metal percentage, such as uranium and plutonium. That will be our first attack. We will attack once 10 percent of our ships are equipped with FTL jump drives, or Hellfire is finished. Whichever comes first. At that point I will send a small diplomatic party to the home planet, to give them an ultimatum. Give all back or we will destroy their entire species. I will send the call to arms out immediately. Meeting dismissed.”

Everyone slowly got up, and shuffled out of the room, terrified. They didn’t even want to think what is happening to their brothers, sisters, and cousins on some faraway planet.
