Something I’ve been wanting to do for about a week: several of my Nintendo ships but I say which would be the Doctor and which would be the Doctor’s companion (because I love Doctor Who)

• I’ll start with my favourite ship: Captain Falcon x Dr. Stewart (F-Zero) — as much as I compare Robert to the 10/14th Doctor, I’m gonna say Falcon is very obviously the Doctor here

• Falcon x Samus (Smash) — honestly either would work perfectly as the Doctor and the other would probably just be a Donna-style companion

• Falcon x Snake (Smash) — Falcon is the Doctor? Idk anything about Metal Gear sorry

• Mewtwo x Lucario (Pokémon but specifically the ones in Smash) — I stand by my claim that Mewtwo would work well as the Doctor in this relationship

• Samus x Peach (Smash) — say what you want about the Mario Movie, there is no way Peach is the Doctor

• Nessa x Sonia (Pokémon) — Nessa is a Gym Leader in a region with a heavy focus on the Gym Challenge and no Elite Four and Sonia is an aspiring Professor. Champions and Professors are basically the Pokémon equivalent to monarchs/prime ministers/presidents which basically means these two have (approximately, I’m pretty certain Sonia ends up as the new Professor by the end) the same amount of power over Galar as each other so this basically means they could both be the Doctor. Also Galar is based on Britain which is where Doctor Who is from so yeah idk

• Calem x Serena (Pokémon) — basically the same deal as Falcon x Samus but probably more Yaz-style than Donna-style

• Serena x Shauna (Pokémon) — any ship involving a player character and a rival is gonna have the player be the Doctor unless the rival is Nemona (or maybe Gladion). Same goes for friends like Lillie

• Baba x Jack Levin (F-Zero) — Baba has the energy to be the Doctor and I think Jack would make a great companion

• Princia Ramode x Lily Flyer (F-Zero) — Princia has the energy but Lily has the experience (despite being younger) so I’ll say Lily for now

• Jody Summer x Kate Alen (F-Zero) — Jody has the experience so I’m gonna say Jody for now

• Gwen x Siobhán (Wii Sports) — Gwen is the Doctor

• Megan x Audie (Animal Crossing) — Megan (being a Normal villager) is smarter and probably a better fit for the Doctor than Audie, even if Audie has the energy. Audie might work better as an 11-style Doctor though

• Adaman x Irida (Pokémon) — see Falcon x Samus. It’s literally the same ship dynamic

• Flick x CJ (Animal Crossing) — honestly don’t think either would work as the Doctor

• Samus x Madeline (Metroid) — Samus is the Doctor, no question

• Leif x Kicks (Animal Crossing) — Kicks is the Doctor because Leif is obviously a companion

• My various pairings for Tom Nook (Animal Crossing) — Isabelle is probably about as likely as Tom to be the Doctor, if not more (because of Smash), Sable is a companion, Blathers could work as the Doctor (with his fear of bugs played similarly to 9’s fear of the Daleks) and Redd is the Master

In keeping with my Ascalonian rageblogging: a ranking of my major PCs by how troubled they are over the legacy of the Charr invasions.

1- Althea Fairchild and Gwen Velazquez: a tie for first! Both are from proudly Ascalonian families, if on opposite ends of the Divinity's Reach social hierarchy—Althea comes from Kryta's and Ebonhawke's nobility, Gwen from the streets of Divinity's Reach. But they both loathe the entire Charr culture and everything it stands for with their entire beings. (Think me x 10.) They can keep a lid on the nuclear rage, but they definitely feel it.

2- Xiulan Azar: her mother is a descendant of Orrians who immigrated to Kryta shortly before the Charr invasion, and while her specific forebears weren't killed, the horror of what happened—and is still happening—to the Orrian people weighs on her. She's deeply sympathetic to Ascalonians as well as to the tiny surviving Orrian community, who mostly keep their heritage to themselves.

3- Pax Vowkeeper is a Charr, and once had it all: respected parents, esteem from her warband, a triumphant record, even relative uniqueness as her revenant abilities manifested. But unlike many, she found it increasingly difficult to ignore the price of victory as she became more attuned to the ghosts. Eventually, she gave up everything, changed her name to Pax, joined the Durmand Priory, and tried to discover a way to regain her sense of honor while defending Tyria.

4- Isabel Batista is not as furious as Althea, Gwen, and Xiulan. But in her quiet, scholarly way, she does not like Charr culture or trust individual Charr unless she knows them personally. She does not think the Searing, the initial Charr invasion, the various war crimes, the overall conquest, and the war over 200+ years can be accurately treated as separate events. She's particularly troubled by the destruction of Ascalonian artifacts, and the most open to friendship with Pax when she turns over some of them.

5- Victoria Langmar is the adopted daughter of Althea's aunt, and fairly close to Althea. But Victoria's feelings about her adoption into the aristocracy are complex, and she's uncertain she can even be considered Ascalonian without knowing where her birth parents' families came from (Elona by way of Kryta, it turns out) or what happened to them (killed by the White Mantle). She certainly sides with the Langmar-Fairchilds and her/their people in general, and she has long regarded the Charr as a threat to humanity and her home, but it's complicated, and she does welcome the prospect of peace.

6- Alexandra Díaz is the most "Krytan" of my Ascalonian characters. She's spent all her life in Divinity's Reach, mostly in the Salma District without much contact with the Ascalonian community, and the main influences on her are other local commoners like her friend Petra. She and her sister are conscious of their background and proud of their people's grit and resolve, but they're much more preoccupied with the here and now, and strongly support the treaty with the Charr. It's time to move forwards.

7- Magister Siobhán of the Durmand Priory does intellectually understand the various causes of the human-Charr conflict, as a historian. But she's a young sylvari interested in adventure and seizing the moment, and what's needed in the moment is fighting dragons! All this hostility and tension over something that basically ended before Siobhán even came into the world, and specific episodes of which are almost unfathomably distant in time, seems a pointless distraction. Humans and Charr can gain so much more by working together. Hasn't the Priory shown that?
