The Doctor and Graham! I can't believe it's already been YEARS since these pair were part of the main TARDIS team, how wild is that?

I had a few people suggesting I create designs for the Doctor's companions and I thought 'why the hell not' so now we're here.

I only got around to doing the NuWho companions because I don't actually know much about the Classic ones... Oh, except for Dan. Because I haven't actually watched any of his episodes yet and know NOTHING about him :)

L -> R, T -> B:

Rory: Ibizan Hound Amy: Irish Setter (I'd like to think she was furious that her Scottish accent was probably mistaken for an Irish one) Rose: Silkie Terrier (How could I not) Clara: Cocker Spaniel Bill: Poodle Ryan: Azawakh Yaz: Pashmi Hound Martha: Mudi Graham: Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Donna: Boykin Spaniel

I’m a very color centric person so here’s the 13 era characters as colors:

13- a very like golden/bright yellow-orange

Yaz: a nice maroon

Ryan: deep blue- maybe a bit lighter/more saturated than navy?

Graham: a very rich and warm brown

Dan: a like medium green- maybe like forest?

The master: a muted purple-pink

Grace: bright green

Jericho: tbh he gives off a nice teal or cyan- maybe a turquoise?

Claire: rose gold?

Sonia: a very bright orange, not like neon but a nice bright orange, like the fruit

Fugitive doctor: burnt orange

And just for fun:

Missy: nice deep purple, more blue than red

River: scarlet red, like the lipstick color that everyone associates with being sexy

Featuring Ryan, Nardole, Jackie, Wilf, Astrid and Graham.

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

[spoofymcgee]

i don't think i've ever watched a season of a show that fast.

i really liked season eleven. i think the character arcs were mostly well balanced–i do wish there had been even two more episodes so we could have spent a bit more time on yaz and ryan, because i think the focus was mostly on graham–but for such a big main cast i think it was done pretty well.

i don't think it's my favorite season–that goes to season four, hands down, and then ten–but i think it's really, really good, and they've got a good story and a good cast. i think the character interactions are really excellent and jodie whittaker is a really good doctor, and all the personalities are really vibrant and wonderful.

the plots are a bit messy and complicated, but when aren't they? zombie mud aliens in a witchfinder episode isn't so much less believable than shapeshifting giant wasps and agatha christie. and i like that they're self contained enough that they're all in one episode, because i think with only ten they don't have enough to waste on a double feature.

i think what i'm driving at is that i love doctor who because it's a show that goes into the highest heights and lowest depths of humanity, puts people in crazy situations and tries to see how they'd react, because it talks about family and grief and the hugeness of the universe and kindness and cruelty and it loves every last bit of it, and it doesn't take it too seriously unless it has to.

and i think season eleven does that really well.

Everytime time I try to rewatch 13s era I lose my mind bc why is Bradley Walsh there.

[khruschevshoe]

WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT BRADLEY WALSH PLAYED A VILLAIN, THE LITERAL PIED PIPER, IN THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES OR DID I JUST HAVE TO LEARN THAT MYSELF WATCHING SEASON 2 OF SJA MYSELF HOLY SHIT-

characters in the thirteenth doctor’s era: graham o’brien doc, the thing about grief is it needs time. i don't want to sit around my house waiting for it to go away. ‘cause that house is full of grace and it makes it so much harder. but, er... being with you and seeing all these things... it really helps.

[khruschevshoe]

I think this is why I connect with Graham and Ryan slightly more than Yaz, and that's that their arc (in season 11, at least) is contained between them as it's about their relationship developing and them gaining a better understanding/appreciation of each other culminating in the It Takes You Away/Battle of Ranskoor Av Kalos grandpa/grandson understanding/acceptance of Grace's death, which doesn't exactly need the Doctor. It's not as good as other companions with their Doctors but it's SOMETHING. Yaz never gets to be a companion on her own (she gets half an episode in the beginning of the flux/back half of Power of the Doctor) and thus never gets to have any stand out moments/personal stories which ever since I noticed it has kind of prevented me from connecting to her as much (though I do love Mandip Gill). While Thirteen’s writing improves, the companion writing never does. Graham and Ryan are as good as Thirteen’s Era gets with companion development, which is a little disappointing.

i think one of the main reasons why i’m not connecting to thirteen’s companions is that they don’t get put through the wringer by themselves, they aren’t given the chance to prove themselves outside of the doctor’s immediate influence. amy was constantly being turned into a doll or a vampire or a flesh copy of her body or staying in an alien health facility for 30 years or falling pregnant or being possessed by a weeping angel or having her memories extracted to build a mythical prison for her best friend or falling pregnant or being cloned by a tesselecta or. you get it. clara was always being locked inside a dalek or uploaded to the cloud or travelling through the doctor’s timestream or being left to fend for herself against dimension-shifting creatures or being locked inside a zygon pod. you get the gist. they were vital to the plot both in one-off episodic stories and overarching arcs in a way that reached beyond giving the doctor pep talks to cheer them up and following them around asking questions.

what exactly has ryan done by himself apart from following the instructions on the plane which had been left by the doctor anyway? what exactly has graham done apart from grieving for his dead wife? what exactly has yaz accomplished on her own apart from that one 2-minute sequence in spyfall where she got transmatted to the kasaavin realm?

they hardly serve any purpose to further the story. they just hang around. space tourists, not companions. even in danger they just seem to rely on the doctor’s intelligence to clever them out of it and save their lives, not once so far (i’m halfway through s12) have any of them shown proper initiative or any distinguishing traits beyond a corny sense of humour tbh

Finally read the wonderful Doctor of oz

I wasn’t exactly expecting it to be good, like I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be bad but it’s a dr who wizard of oz adaptation so

But it genuinely was. I had so much fun reading it, like it was so fun. Highly recommend. More thoughts to come, maybe

[kvotheunkvothe]

I didn't have space for one-off characters and didn't include aliens. Cards on the table: I vote Clara Oswald. She was manipulative, self-righteous, and antagonistic.
