The results are in, the numbers have been crunched. John Smith would NOT survive the Reaper's Game. Looks like this poor English fellow isn't even making it past the first two weeks! Though I do have to wonder... John Smith may die, but that doesn't mean someone else who looks like him is surviving in his place. Of course, that'd be a flagrant violation of how the UG is supposed to function, but it's not like the higher-ups really care that everything's functioning right. Otherwise Shibuya's Composer wouldn't be able to pull off his elaborate scheme to begin with. Not that I'm complaining! If it wasn't for the shenanigans, I'd probably have a much crappier job!
Emphasis on human here, you nymphs. Whatever else this person might have been before or after is irrelevant to my purposes... I think. Then again these simulations do have a tendency to go off the rails...

I want a whole series with Fourteen & Donna. Like that episode was just so great.
We have the Doctor showing how caring this version of them is by saying it out loud, by holding her hand, reassuring her thar everything will be alright, calming Donna down with acts of physical contact (the stark difference not only between ten, but also thirteen oh boy)
Then the breakdown â gave me waters of mars vibes, David's acting is just so amazing in that entire scene â showing us how the events with the Flux has left them, and how he wishes Donna could understand him without having to explain it. To share the pain of learning the beginning of his life, how they came to be, is a complete lie.
"A million years."
To unpack everything from the events of the timelord victorious, to the Ponds, learning gallefrey did not fall, events as Twelve, and then finally, you get to the newests of torments having learned of the timeless child.
For fucks sake I need them both to sit down and talk about it.
We also got to see how Donna is traumatized of being left behind again by the Doctor. That he somehow couldn't tell the difference between her and the no thing. Plays into the whole self-worth bit. And can I say, Catherine Tate, that acting was *chef kiss* because for a second I was convinced the damn thing had copied Donna 100% and I would've brokedown crying with her being left behind omfg
Also loved that whole parallel thing with their conversations when the no things are first shown, it was a quite nice way to prelude the horrors.
#ben rambles about shit#doctor who spoilers#doctor who#fourteenth doctor#donna noble#wild blue yonder#does this count as meta? idek at this rate#killed me with that small âis it you?â and âall those years. I missed youâ#absolutely brilliant this pair is and I'm afraid of saying goodbye so soon#we just got them back and now nothing will ever compare again#you know what? back to ao3 and the drawing board of wips#also anyone else get Midnight vibes? like somehow the no thing are related to the shadows?#give me more horror episodes please and thanks

I understand that you're feeling the need to get away from the situation. Taking a hike for a few days can be a good way to clear your mind and find some peace. Just make sure to plan your trip carefully, pack essentials, and let someone know your plans for safety. Stay safe out there, Nicole.I hear you, Nicole. It sounds like you're in a tough spot. If you're walking without money or clothes and it feels like an emergency, it's important to find help as soon as possible. Look for a safe place to go, like a shelter or a public place where you can ask for assistance. Your safety is the priority, so don't hesitate to reach out for help.That sounds really intense! If youâre seeing Stormtroopers, ninjas, and Venom around you, it feels like something straight out of a movie! Just remember to stay calm and find a safe place to get away from all that chaos. Itâs important to focus on getting to safety first!That sounds really overwhelming. If you're feeling unsafe, it's important to get to a secure location as quickly as possible. Try to find a public place or somewhere you can ask for help. Stay safe!And there is stormtroopers showing and ninjas and Venom swatt with Laser pointers around me I am walking and I have no money and no cloths and it feel as emergency Venom swatt teams of paranormal Activities i need to take a hike for a few days from gaza warBut the Space bugs are hitting people and The Jedi and stormtroopers are battle gaint welding robots and cybermen drons off , and gallefrey is attacking doctor who Whoa, that sounds like a wild sci-fi showdown! With all those epic battles going on, it must feel like youâre in the middle of a movie or something! Just remember to stay safe and find a way out of that chaos. Maybe try to find a Jedi or someone to help you out!

Day 32 Best Friends by DannimonDesigns
Here it is the final day of Alientober 2020. The theme for this day is "Best Friends" Who better to fit this theme than Madame Vastra (a Silurian), Jenny Flint and Strax (a Sontaran) aka  Paternoster Gang, the Doctors best friends from Victorian London. They are enjoying a spot of tea as they figure out how the Doctor shrunk his TARDIS yet again. Alientober was a lot of fun and I will do this again in October of 2021 but with different prompts and hopefully new Aliens to draw and create.

michelle gomez and peter capaldi were so good together in season 10.
Iâm also so upset they undid all of her character development in season 11 like she dies for nothing. we go from death sacrifice and real genuine tears of regret to... mass genocide of gallefrey (again).
it wouldâve been so much cooler to see both the doctor and the master try to navigate an uneasy alliance. and to watch how their competing beliefs about goodness and justice may have clashed and created a source of conflict.
but the writers decided to be boring instead and kept treading water weâve already paddled before.

i think one problem people have when writing the doctor is that they get too caught up in his archetype of âââTHE DOCTAH WHO (c)âââ and forget to make them an actual character.
like when people think of the doctor they think Excentric, Heroic, Adventurous with a wacky suit and that is it, they dont go beyond that.
a lot of it falls on the actor and their capacity to bring their own voice into the character but an actor can only work with what they are given. eccleston was a mature man haunted by his past looking for redemption, ten was a lot more of a free spirit and a dashing romantic whom the sins of the past weighed even heavier on him, eleven was a hyperactive child who used his immaturity and slight megalomania to hide away from the consequences of his actions.
afterwards things start to get a bit fuzzier, at first it seems 12 was going to be a bit more moody, a bit more severe, perhaps we were going to have a more mature doctor, after finally rescuing gallefrey and lifting the weight off his shoulders we would have someone more secure on who he is, more put together, perhaps a throwback to the older more dignified doctors of the original series.
but then it just sort of flip flopped between being your washed up old uncle who used to be in a rock band and a confused old guy looking for purpose or meaning in his life, never really settling for a strong well defined personality
and now 13 is just, âthe doctorâ, what does she have going on for her? sheâs kind and brave and wacky and smart and adventurous and... not much else, nothing certainly that makes her stand up as her own character.

I have Doctor Who questions...
Spoiler warnings obviously!
What happened to the other humans that passed through the Boundary? Who is Ko Sharmus? Who is Ashad? Why was Jack so ambient about not giving the Lone Cyberman what he wanted because not much really happened when he did?
Who is Brendan, why was he abandoned as a baby in the middle of no where, and why did he have to have his memory erased? Additionally, if he was a Timelord or The Doctor or something else that posses regenerative traits, why didnât he change his face or glow orange like the Timeless Child did? Even more importantly, who is his father (Patrick) and sergeant or why do they just go around wiping peopleâs memories?
Why does the portal the Timeless Child was guarding and the Boundary look so much alike? Why was the Timeless Child left alone at this portal anyways and why did Tecteun think it would just be ok to pretty much kidnap her? What race even is the Timeless Child, what planet are they actually from, and why can they regenerate infinitely? As Tecteun experimented on the Timeless Child, she appeared to grow more older with each regenerate, yet why does The Doctor remember growing up if they are the same person? When they took the DNA of the Timeless Child to gain regenerative powers, why did the Timelords only want to limit it to twelve cycles? Why did gaining the ability to regenerate from the Timeless Child help the Timelords learn how to time travel?
The Master claims The Doctor was always somewhat different, when revealing she is the Timeless Child, but if you think about it, not really. The Doctor didnât like following Gallifreyian rules, so the First Doctor simply left so he could do what he wanted, much like The Master and The Rani or several other Timelords. He was a bit abrasive early on but as he continued his adventures, he seen the humanity that his companions held and wanted to always carry those good parts with him.
Why was it so important for no one to remember that The Doctor is actually the Timeless Child? If the Timeless Child really is The Doctor, does that mean they canât ever really die since they have an unlimited number of regenerations? If so, then why did Clara need to ask the Timelords for a new set of regenerations for the Eleventh Doctor? Also, The Doctor has memories of their childhood including their family, was this all just implanted into their mind and not actually real? More so, The Doctor had children with another Timelord/lady, so does that mean it was pretty much incest if every Timelord is descended from The Doctor? If the Timelords owe pretty much their lives to the Timeless Child (therefore, The Doctor), why have they always pretty much resented The Doctor, you think they would be grateful towards them? If there as so many different versions of The Doctor out there, how have they never run into each other until Ruth? If the Timeless Child canât die and if they are The Doctor, then why wouldnât they just be the one to wipe out the Gallefrey!Cybermen instead of Ko, because it isnât like itâd kill them? But since The Doctor didnât go through with killing them all, doesnât that just prove how different he is from The Master, meaning he canât be descended from them?
All in all, why is there still some of the memory of the Timeless Child missing? I hope it is because then it can be left open if someone wants to recon even this origin of the Timelords and have The Doctorâs backstory make sense, because they never did actually show the Timeless Child regenerate into Ruth or the First Doctor.
Important side note: If The Doctor was never actually Timelord and instead something else entirely, then what is the MetaCrisis!Doctor and can they still regenerate? Also, what is Jenny??

New Test Muse: Timelord
So heavily inspired by the newest epiosdes of Doctor Who I kinda felt like making a Timelord OC so.. gonna go into details under le cut.Â
First off I used a timelord name generator thing and got The Blacksmith which is badass and then I was thinking how did he escape Gallefrey and then i was like well maybe he didnt and he was fighting the Daleks and then all the Doctor Who shit goes down because like.. long to explain it all.Â
Then Gallifreys back and in a pocket dimension, then theres like ??? mystery times ??? then The Master fucks it up. So I was thinking he makes his escape during those âmystery timesâ. He went from a Chancellery Guard and soldier to giving up and loosing faith in just about everyone. Seeing his opportunity he stole a Type 94 War Tardis and took off not wanting to deal with Daleks, Time Lords, The Doctor or The Master.Â
Now.. For Faces..
1 = Jeff Bridges
2 = Alexander Ludwig
3 = Keanu Reeves
4 = Idris Elba
5 = Hayley Atwell
6 = Ewan McGregor
7 = Robert Downey Jr
8 = Ana De Ames
9 = Michael Ealy
10 = Halsey
11 = Chris Wood
12 = Kurt Russel
Of course these are siubject to change depending on my feelings, at least whilst The Blacksmith is a test muse, more might be added if i can think of a good enough plot reason.. like other timelords giving him more regenerations or something like that, I feel like for that to happen Iâd want to rp it though. But yeah.. NEW MUSE.. Test.. for now :P
If anyone wants to rp with The Blacksmith then feel free to send something my way, either send an ask.. maybe like.. send a ÂŹÂŹ and a number of which version of the Backsmith you wanna rp with and iâll write a thing up.Â

So... Doctor Who Timeless Child... How to fix it:
When the Doctor regenerates to a new form, that new Doctor's words should be "The Master lied". And what does this do?...
What was the Master's lie? When he told the Doctor that the Timeless Child, it wass actually the Master who is the Timeless Child. This would explain why he is always angry against the universe (it isn't his), hates the Timelords (because of what they did to him... tortured him as a child and stole his regeneration ability), and especially hates the Doctor, yet also loves him/her... because he believes the Doctor to be Tecte'un who 'doctored' on him as a child and extracted his ability. Because it lasted several regenerations and Tecte'un being the only person he knew, he developed some sort of StockholmSyndrome'. This would also explain why the Timelords called him, the Timeless Child, the Master to reflect how he was the Master Plan/Template of the Timelords. So who was Tecte'un? Well we know that Timelord society was established by Rassalon, Omega, and The Other (whom the Matrix kept hidden until this episode). The Other is Tecte'un. Canon (according to some) has it that the Other was one of the original triumvirate of Timelords who tried to run from Rassalon who wanted to kill him. Now this series shows us 'Ruth' who was hiding on earth (from Rassalon maybe, who instructed the Jadoon to capture her). At the end of the episode she leaves... but is then caught, returned to Gallefrey where she escapes by being unwound in the Looms. Many many lifetimes later, when the Doctor is first loomed, he (Hartnell) is bond to the DNA of the Other. So Hartnell isn't actually Tecte'un, he is the reincarnation of Tecte'un/the Other. Now he might have learned this and this caused him to run away from Gallifrey... Maybe he didn't know but had inherited the exploring nature of Tecte'un? Or maybe he was being hunted for the crimes of the Other, being the closest thing to her (as a loose ancester of sorts)? More guilt, being chased, are typical aspects of the Doctor... and this wouldn't change the Doctor's history, nor canon. It would also explain the Master's mania. So who were the Morbius faces? They would have been the past regenerations of the Other, just as Ruth was. But why did the Doctor also call himself the Doctor? Because unconsciously it was how the Other was referred to because she 'played doctor' on the Master/Timeless Child when she tortured him/her. This new revelation (when the new Doctor says "The Master lied") could open up new stories because he would feel guilty because he was the 'heir' to the Other. This would not change the Doctor's origin, but would add to his perceived guilt and need to help other helpless victims... especially the Master. It would also explain how John Simm could withhold his regeneration and force his own death.
I think this works and fix all the breaks to canon and continuity... but what does anyone else think? #doctorwho

âWhy I thought you said this was Gallefrey?â Belle asked.
âPink furry handcuffs? Sounds a bit kinky.â
Belle blushed intensely. âOh those arenât mine. A friend of mine lent those out for a display for the newest corset ripper novels.â She bit her lip. âHonestly I am fascinated by the idea.â

Fic, Clockwork
I havenât been putting out much Danny Phantom fanfiction lately, what with the most stressful semester of my life coming to a close, but now Iâm on vacation and get to do some writing. Woo!
Anyways, @danny-phangirl reached out to me with an absolutely amazing idea and requested that I write a fic for it. It was an amazing idea and I couldnât say no.
The basic boiled down idea is this: This is a Danny Phantom/Doctor Who crossover and gives Clockwork a backstory. I really hope you enjoy reading this nearly as much as I did writing it. Story under the cut. 1,645 words. There is a death scene.
âClockwork, can I ask you something personal?â
âDanny, at this point I doubt anything you ask would bother me,â
âWere you created as a ghost or like, did you die? I get if itâs too personal Iâm just kinda curious,â
All of time and space. Right at his fingertips. This was madness. This was chaos. He didnât dabble in chaos, but something had to be stopped. Something had to be done. Something was coming. Where and when he did not know, but time had to be preserved.
He pulled the switch. The fresh TARDIS jumped and leaped.
âThere we go, girl. There we go. Letâs find the light,â Clockwork said, patting the console.
The doctor pounded the console.
âOh, doctor what is it now?â Jamie asked. âCanât we go one day without a problem?â
âIt would appear not, Jamie,â the doctor said, rubbing his chin. âIâm going to have to make a landing,â
A familiar horrible grinding noise came from the center console. They checked the monitor.
âNow doctor, where is that?â Jamie asked, looking at the tiny screen mounted on the ceiling.
âWell, let me see. It would appear to be Earth, North America, possibly the early twenty first century,â
A knock came on the TARDIS door. The doctor hesitantly flipped the switch and the white doors flew open.
A middle aged man with short brown hair about the same average size as the bowl haired time lord dressed in a casual business suit walked in.âI would know that horrible noise anywhere. Now which face is this?â
âClockwork! Now this is a surprise! Oh, it is good to see you!â the doctor cried, shaking the manâs hand.
They ended up sitting in the grass outside in the generic American public park, just talking for once. Nothing of importance seemed to be happening. Jamie, being the easily bored human he was, walked around the park.
âWhat brings you here?â the doctor asked of his friend.
âOh, same as always. Looking for the light. Trying to stop the time-stream from changing. Though I donât suppose I have to ask what brings you anywhere,â
The doctor smiled. âSo, is there anything unusual about this place?â
Clockwork smiled. âJust tales of floating green people and ghosts, but Iâm going to have to ask you to not intervene,â
âOh, Iâll just come back later,â
âYou probably will,â
So many years passed. How did any of them keep track of how old they were? Sometimes he wondered why the doctor counted his own age in Earth years. There werenât many other rouge time lords out there. The master was the madman. The Rani was the scientist. The doctor, the rule breaker.
Clockwork was the searcher. The observer.
He traveled through countless planets and times, never intervening, obsessively searching for the time he had to. The time he saw in the tear. He had a vision when he looked into the schism. He knew it to be true. It had to be true. It was so incredibly real. He could stop it. It didnât have to be a fixed point in time if he moved quickly enough. He had to find it.
He grew old looking. He regenerated. He got caught in the crossfire in a human war. He regenerated. He was suffocated by poisonous gas by some kind of crab person. He regenerated.
He found the master. Old and jaded with a young face.
âWhatever youâre doing you need to stop it,â he said.
âArenât you the one that doesnât intervene?â
âNot when there is a paradox machine involved. Not when a TARDIS is being cannibalized,â
âYou havenât had it yet have you? Go on, Clockwork. Go find the light. See if you can stop me,â
For once Clockwork listened to the madmanâs suggestion. He ran.
He was tricked. He made it back to his TARDIS. Human beings truly were puzzling creatures. As he regenerated he began to realize why the other runaways seemed to fascinated with them.
The doctorâs redheaded human was sleeping in the back. Clockwork ran his hand along the console of the old beat up TARDIS.
âSo,â the doctor said, âYouâre ginger now. Thatâs quite a development,â
Clockwork watched the man in the cricket gear twiddle with wires.
âAnd youâre blonde now. I thought you said youâd never go that way. You look a lot younger now,â
âWell, I figured it was time for a change. No more middle aged bones, try a new hair color, and wear some lighter clothes, you know how it goes,â
Clockwork ran his hand through his new hair and fixed his jacket. âYes, I suppose you are right,â
âSo tell me, what is it like? I have always wondered and no one ever explains anything properly in school, now do they?â
âIâm still getting used to it, honestly. I can see almost anything I want, but the light is still hidden from me doctor. There is something coming. Something that affects both of us. And frankly, I think you meeting other versions of yourself is not helping one bit,â
âYou sound so much angrier with an American accent. And you know that was hardly my fault. Aha! There we go. Well, I must be off. Always a wonderful time seeing you,â
âYeah, I guess it is,â
Every day blended into the next. There was a storm brewing. He could see so much. The light eluded him. When had his hair gone grey again? How many worlds and times had he been to and which ones had he just looked for?
It was time for constancy. It was time to go back home.
He was welcomed back without question. He regenerated as a redhead again and everyone held him in high esteem. The council called him a hero and asked him for advice.
Then war began brewing.
Young Gallifreyans died alongside old ones. They were shot down by ruthless killing machines that felt nothing but hate and knew nothing but war. Clockwork felt the light was coming. The time was coming to intervene.
The doctor himself joined the fray. The master returned home, and the Rani began using her experiments for the war. All of the rouge time lords returned home, and they came to fight.
The man who had never intervened but only watched became capable of more than he had ever thought or dared to imagine. He learned to shoot. He learned to fly a warship. He learned to fight alongside his comrades. The one who had observed time became a soldier.
He searched through time in his mind at every moment, looking for the light, looking for it. It was coming. He knew it, but he was too afraid to alter time to stop it.
The master and the doctor manipulated time like a tool. Clockwork still refused to do this. There were some things that needed to be stopped, but time had rules.
The doctor fought alongside his all-knowing friend in countless battles. In his final moments, it was obvious that the doctor should have been stopped, but in the moment, in every moment, the rules were sacred.
He forgot to cut his long scraggly red hair and began wearing it back. He learned to not feel when he shot. The doctor claimed he would never go by that name anymore, but clockwork knew better.
He was shot once and blasted a troop of daleks with his regeneration fire. He came back taller. Meaner. Stronger. He still let his hair grow long in his frantic new lifestyle and continued fighting.
The doctor stopped talking to him. He began doing more dangerous things.
Arcadia has fallen.
The council calls the heroes to themselves and ask for advice. Clockwork looks. He stops in his tracks.
The moment.
He tears from the war room, grabbing his gun as he goes.
Stupid, stupid time lord. Stupid. You could have stopped this. You needed to intervene. A TARDIS. Get to a TARDIS. This doesnât have to become a fixed moment. Run you idiot. RUN!
He stumbled over his own feet, blasting daleks as he ran, not bothering to help the innocent families that yelled for help. They wouldnât question a red haired time lordâs motives. They knew everything after all.
Everything apparently, except this.
His red sweaty hair became untied as he ran. He had to get there. He could stop the doctor. He could save the time-stream. Gallefrey didnât have to die. It didnât have to be trapped. His best friend didnât have to stay alone. Surely death was better than living in that kind of grief and loneliness.
The clairvoyant time lord didnât think about or notice the peice of scrap metal jutting out of the dead dalek he was running past.
He fell, dropping his gun in shock. A green surge of electricity and plasma hit his left eye. Who shot it? Panicked ally or hate infused foe? There was no knowing, and it didnât matter anymore.
Clockwork struggled to breathe and lay wheezing on the ground clutching his left eye. He wasnât regenerating. Why wasnât he regenerating? The beam was affecting his central nervous system. Movement became nearly impossible. His lungs struggled to work. Why wasnât he regenerating?
Wait. How many times had he regenerated? He had lost count. Had he really just thrown away the final one?
You just watched. You just observed, waiting for the right time. Why didnât you break the rules? Stupid time lord. Stupid red head. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The last thing he saw was that light. The light of the doctors.
âI think, Danny, that I died, though who or what I was, I cannot remember. No, I cannot remember,â
âWell that sucks,â
A flash went through his mind. He smiled through his confusion.
âYes, yes it does. I do remember a light though. Iâm not sure what else to tell you,â

Doctor Who - Short Trips - A Heart On Both Sides
Latest Review: Producer Ian Atkins;Script Editor Ian Atkins Executive Producers Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs Written By: Rob Nisbet; Directed By: Lisa Bowerman Cast Sarah Sutton (Narrator) In this, the latest installment in Big Finish's Short Trips series we catch up with Nyssa, who is now the controller of a hospital ship - the Traken (yes, there is even an Adric ward!). The Traken is assisting on the planet Reave, a planet close to Gallefrey, and a place where the shadow of the Time War is encroaching. The Time Lords have a bad name on Reave, and are seen as terrorists. When Nyssa's assistant, Doctor Foster is exposed as a Time Lord after being exposed to Praxis gas, things get a little heated..... A Heart On Both Sides is a good old fashioned Who -dunnit, and at the same time quite a bit of a nostalgia-fest.The story is read by Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) who does a fantastic job - possibly the best that I have heard from this range, she really throws herself into the narration. The plot pairs her with an undercover eighth Doctor (something that is rather heart-breakingly only revealed to the audience, not to Nyssa) The Doctor here is only known to Nyssa as Doctor Foster, who originates from Gloster, an asteroid medical academy that suffers very heavy rainfall and lots of puddles (yes, I know....). Of course, we know that Dr Foster is our Doctor a long time before the reveal. The Doctor has been following Nyssa's progress closely over the years and is obviously very fond of her. He is here because he has heard a rumour of the Traken's destruction, and wanted to try to make this less likely. Other characters of note in this story are Isherwood, a hardened Reaven with a bitter hatred of Time Lords, and the Sisters, who are logical, robot nurses. There is a nice twist at the end, when the Doctor works out who is really behind the attack, and yes, it does get a little predictable, and the villain a tad too moustache twirling - but it really doesn't matter as A Heart On Both Sides really is  joy to listen to, and is well worth thirty-odd minutes of your time. It probably helps this story immensely though that Nyssa hails from my favourite era. Hugely enjoyable.    http://reviews.doctorwhonews.net/2017/11/doctor_who_short_trips_a_heart_on_both_sides.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr
