THE DOCTOR We had a pact, him and me. Every star in the universe, we were going to see them all.

My version of The Master and The Doctor in their Academy days 😊

A speedpaint video of this will be available at my Patreon on april 1st!

#doctor who #thoschei #doctor x master #academy era #my art #My thought process for their appearances here was sort of an average between their incarnations #the doctor is mostly taller and has messier and usually lighter hair while the master is shown to have had black hair in a flashback #also since Hartnell had white hair as an old man and we are not sure what color his hair was I thought what if it was always white #I've seen most draw him as blond but couldn't find any sources for it so I just went with this instead because it looks cool #I had fun making Prydonian robes designs!! I would love to design a bunch of Gallifreyan fashion for each Chapter and House it seems so fun #I also wanted to draw a Gallifreyan night!! since I never see any depictions of it even tho the planet should have nights #even if it's a binary system since the orbits would have to be very large for gravitational stability both suns would set at similar times #anyway I'll stop talking lmao 🫡

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

#i do think that this pit of anger was eventually covered and soothed by the ponds #but he didn't adress it and he couldn't even look at it until he was twelve #when he stopped pushing back and repressing everything and finally allowed himself to exist as he was #but ok listen #its all layed out in the first 3 episodes of season 5 and in the way amy sees him #episode 1. here is the new doctor he is energetic and reeling and fun #episode 2. the space whale comparison. here is the new doctor. he is unthinkably ancient and almost godlike but he is so so kind #and patient and good. he is ancient and lonely but he can't stand to see children cry. so the doctor helps people #episode 3. daleks. the doctor is a soldier. these are his age old enemies. he wants them dead and he will stop at nothing #all logic and reason vanish. he is hitting the dalek with a pipe and yelling his head off while amy watches in horror #like obviously we know why but amy didnt #this is not a sane or rational man he is unstable and angry #and in that episode he was stripped back to what he largely is: hate #you would make a good dalek ect ect ect #anyway 3 episodes with 3 very distinct and equally definitely traits layed out like: here you go #i don't like elevens era much but those first 3 episodes were great #doctor who #eleven #amy #eleventh doctor #matt smith #dr who #dw #i mean idk this is what river literally had to spell out for him #eleven was careening completely out of control #how long til doctor means warrior indeed?#mine

One day I’ll go through med school and then I’ll go through residency and then I’ll go through a fellowship and then I’ll be the most crybaby neurosurgeon you could think of. Bursting into tears if I so much as graze ur hypothalamus with my forceps

#Yesterday I shadowed a neurologist for the first time and basically we got done seeing a patient who’s also a heart surgeon #And I turned to the doctor and was like Ok what do we do #The thing is this patient has dementia and we don’t really have a cure for that yet so the study he’s enrolling in is largely observational #Still I expected her to follow up on him in much more frequent increments #Instead this woman goes “we’ll see him in 6-9 months but… not even sure if he’ll be here by then sooo”#Basically implying he might be dead in a year #AND I WAS LIKE. Blown away by how blase she was #And ever since then a fiendish sort of melancholy followed me everywhere I went .#Bc I haven’t stopped thinking about the heart surgeon #I don’t get how she can stop thinking about him #I don’t understand people who can stop thinking about something like that #I know neurologists like her have seen patients come and go many a time but I was disturbed #So I made a pact w myself never to lose my humanity. Half of why I’m so into medicine is bc of its humane aspects #And in 10 years I’ll look back at this and hopefully still be just as annoyingly sensitive as I am today #I think I’m just overall disillusioned w how little humanity some people seem to have but that doesn’t mean I have to be that way too #p

#THEY FASCINATE ME #Stampede has a lot more “invisible” scars than Trimax's and I personally think that he may get MORE scars by the end of Stampede #I think its also safe to assume that Vash wasn't just patched up by doctors on the planet I think this is Luida and Brad judging by the tec #also I love going through each and trying to figure out what injury each was #like Trimax vash has been cut a lot but that large one on his torso was probably an explosion #Stampede i think his large scars are explosion related as well #and then the screws on Trimax and those little bits of metal on Stampede are connected to internal stuff #like my dad has screws in his shoulder (you cant see them externally) that hold his tendon there since it tore #so I think those are related to stuff like that #especially the ones on Vash's spine #i should've just typed this in the post huh #trigun #trigun stampede #tristamp #trigun maximum #trimax #trigun anime #trigun manga #trigun vash #tristamp vash #trimax vash #vash #vash the stampede #vash the humanoid typhoon

modern trek erasing mccoy is genuinely my villain origin story

#mine #i just remembered how terribly mccoy was treated in into darkness again #and how the changes they made fully cut out the katra of it all #i mean they literally had not established the kirk + spock friendship enough to even make the story make sense at that point #they were fully leaning on tos and the pop culture history of it but they didn't EARN it at ALL #meanwhile they HAD established the kirk + mccoy friendship and they didn't even have mccoy in the goddamn room #unlike tos which of course had spock have his moment with mccoy BEFORE he goes in (and then of course the katra)#also i haven't watched SNW (and likely won't) but the fact they haven't had mccoy on there.................#anyway. it's. just. Interesting. is all.#[powering up my comically large supervillain ice ray]#(also let's not even talk about the certain segments of fandom that do it too lmao y'all know who you are)#i am too sleepy to be writing this so i am not putting it in the tags i'm positive it's bitchier than i mean it to be i'm just. v annoyed.#lol. lmao even. giggling cutely as i sharpen my knife. don't. erase. the doctor.

I just adore how in 1980, Doctor Who said “you know vampires? They’re real and they’re the ancient enemy of the Time Lords,” and Dr Who fans/authors have been like “Fuck Yeah they are” ever since. 10/10. It’s so unnecessary if you think about it but we’re all so here for it.

#Doctor Who is large and weird but I'm proud of it for working together to find the coolest thing to do with vampires #Just make them a thing and also a vital part of the show's core lore #and also eldritch abominations from another reality.#Doctor Who #my posts #sorry I've been looking into Vampire The Masquerade the last few days and this is where my mind is going jslkdjflsf #I'm currently relistening to the Forge Project trilogy of audios #and I desperately need to reread Vampire Science

Assorted doodles of the Ebisu siblings

#kny oc #kimetsu no yaiba oc #demon slayer oc #Kaoru doesn’t look it but she’s the oldest by a pretty large margin #they each have their favorite thing to ‘disguise’ as on missions haha #for koharu it’s a traveling scholar from one of the fancy colleges in Tokyo #for kaoru it’s less of a disguise and more of a side profession: a traveling doctor/medic #and for shougen it’s probably toss up between traveling martial artist and just no disguise #shougen really brings a ‘fuck it we ball’ energy to the family

Lalla Ward makes a brief appearance as Lady Augusta, intended bride to an ill-fated aristocrat, in A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Ash Tree (BBC, 1975)

#fave spotting #lalla ward #doctor who #a ghost story for christmas #the ash tree #1975 #romana #romana ii #spoilers for the ash tree ig????#i mean it's pretty obvious from the outset that Ed Petherbridge's aristo is not in for a good time #i mean he's a Jamesian protagonist for one thing....#lalla had been acting since the beginning of the decade‚ with a fair number of one off appearances on tv and the odd film to her name #(most notably Hammer's Vampire Circus). she was still a few years off DW and genre immortality at this point #it isn't the most rewarding role; James (who i don't think many would argue that he wasn't a bit of a chauvinist) rarely featured #significant women characters in his work (a large number of them being academical in setting didn't help). actually the ash tree #is something of an outlier in that regard‚ as it does feature a significant female character in Mrs. Mothersole‚ but we can hardly consider #her a positive feminine presence... actually one of Lawrence Gordon Clark's regrets about this particular entry in the Ghost Story for #Christmas canon is the failure of him and writer David Rudkin to make a true villain of Mothersile; Clark felt that their shared sympathies #for the historical victims of witchhunting prevented them from capturing the 'evil' of the character (tho it's debatable how much James #himself intended her to be truly evil; this is just Clark's opinion after all‚ and fwiw i think Rudkin's greater complexity of the #character is more interesting‚ more believable and more appropriate)#i rambled. anyway yes‚ not a meaty role perhaps‚ but Lalla sinks her teeth in all the same and in just a few brief scenes successfully #creates a vivid and fully realised character‚ a charming and flirtatious fiancée with something of a rebellious streak #no ash tree post bc i made one the last time i watched it a couple of years ago

so i am endlessly fascinated by the space river is occupying in her first episode with eleven. the doctor abruptly turns into the worst version of himself around her. she represents a lack of control over his own life -- he usually gets to pick and choose the people who enter it, but she is not someone he would have chosen to stay! she has an edge, she knows things that he doesn't, and she not only does not tell him but cannot tell him what those things are. she knows more than him in a way that he can't argue his way out of, and i would say that the eleventh doctor ESPECIALLY is not comfortable with not being the Specialest Boy In The Room. he's biting back because he wants to put river in her place and show her that she isn't actually as smart as she thinks she is, which is horrendous, but at the same time it is coming from this place of obvious insecurity.

and god help me, i thought i was not gonna get shippy with it (which was stupid because i have loved these two since middle school) but i think that the insecurity stems from the fact that he isn't her doctor. we saw that in her very first episode!!! she keeps on mentioning her doctor with all of these big cartoon heart eyes, and the way she treats him is very much "well, you're going to be him someday, so i guess i have to put up with you." i don't think the doctor is very used to smart people looking at him and finding him lacking in a way that is out of his control! and he's able to usually delegitimize the people who don't like him by saying "well, you obviously aren't smart and i don't like you either," but he doesn't have THAT to fall back on because he KNOWS that future-him trusts river enough to tell her his name!! so he is in this nebulous, horrifying space where his hearts are/aren't in the hands of a woman he does/doesn't trust, and he likes to be in control of his dynamics with other people. he wants to be the one who can get in his box and fly away. river is one of the very few people who can get through to him wherever he is. he wants soooo badly to show her that she's not as smart as she thinks she is because then he can prove that he's her doctor. and he hates that he wants that. so he tells himself and everyone else that he doesn't like her.

#celia watches dw #doctor x river #iiiiii thought i would be critical and i think i was able to with silence in the library #in large part bc that's where river feels least formed and least consistent #like the only thing that's decided is that she's The Doctor's Wife!#but she is very much a person here and i do love the person that she is. so so much.#guess i am going to have an opinion and the opinion is that i wuv her.

Another thing I loved about the special is how it centered one of the big themes of this era, literally making it the final message of the era - that the Doctor is not some super special hero, better than anyone else and untouchable and trying to be like them a foolish act that can only lead to death, but rather that anyone can make those hard choices, anyone can be the hero. That despite what others may try to pin on them or mistakenly believe, the only thing that makes the Doctor special is their love and their hope, the way they inspire the people around them and the relationships they build.

#Doctor Who #Doctor Who Spoilers #The Power of the Doctor #The Power of the Doctor Spoilers #love how this messaging was baked into so many episodes #how many stories framed ordinary people making hard choices #and how in the final story #it goes from something we were shown #to being finally stated #this era is so much about showing and not telling (ironically given the bs thrown at it #although I'd argue a large part of that is people #refuse to engage with what it is showing them #since they have been told not to)#and it was so nice how this story took that thread #and centered it
