After all that, they're just happy to be home-- who wouldn't be after being chased through time by Daleks?

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 🫡

I got so overwhelmed with Good Outfits I had to stop watching to doodle my favourites. Second Doctor era is first because it's the fashion I think about most
Victoria's green getup specifically is from chapter 3 of a light in bitter dark ; the entire thing made me weepy but there's something about a tiny girl in finery Getting Shit Done that makes my heart Soar amongst all the aching.

Ramble in the tags that really should have been a separate post LOL do you agree though…
#Steven Taylor#okay. so. we all agree that like#he didn’t not want to leave but he felt more needed there on the tardis & to some extent he enjoyed the adventures#but also enjoyed taking care of Vicki#and after daleks’ master plan & Katarina & sara & Oliver & Anne#he was like …. it’s not worth it — there is no one for me to protect & No reason for me to be here. until he changes his mind at the end of#the massacre & realizes the doctor needs him.#because Steven /did/ go back#and then he has the task of protecting dodo#but then he finds a place That needs him so much more#so he chooses to stay#HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SELFLESS!!! AND HUMAN AND SELFISH!!!!!#he goes where he is taken & stays where he must#thinking about helmstone……..like. Steven will never ever ever forget Sara#but he turns it into something less…..destructive??? or hateful??? or just haunted??? in that example#maybe wrongly so#but he begins to choose this sort of. Better Path. instead of running from it like he tries to after Oliver#hshsjdksl#you could read it as he’s miserable all the time - he is traumatized on the tardis#but no he could never leave the doctor because the doctor needs Steven so so much especially in that dark dark streak of hartnell-era#& you could see it as he’s in control as much as he can be??? he chooses to stay when he thinks he should. he doesn’t want to settle just#anywhere — he wants to find the right place. & it takes a kind of control to choose that#and When he DOES find a place that needs him—#maybe after helping them he doesn’t feel like it’s the right place#like his audio trilogy with dodo Taylor discusses#because he was needed - and to him that WAS the right place. but the moment he feels he isn’t needed he has to keep moving#a piece of the doctor’s anxiety and fear and adventure and constant running will never ever leave Steven Taylor#so#there he is#i yap a lot…..

I’m dying over Steven and Vicki seeing each other again, especially after never having had a proper goodbye to one another. They both probably spent all their lives wondering if the other was okay. But now Steven has his little sister back and referred to her as such onscreen and I’m a wreck over it. It’s been ten years since I first watched the Hartnell era and it’s always stayed very close to my heart, I’m always rewatching something, and Steven and Vicki both have such a special place in my affections. I feel ten years younger seeing something new of them again. I never imagined getting something like this, and at that to see it treated with such reverence for those characters, their Doctor, and that era of the show generally. The Hartnell era is one of the most tragically overlooked and to see them really care about it, to have them speak of their Doctor the same way a modern companion would speak of theirs, to have them acknowledge the depth of their relationship for what it clearly was, to care enough to give two very underappreciated companions a moving return and reunion that will mostly only mean anything to those who are dedicated to that specific era of the show… I feel so loved and I’m a wreck.
#classic who#tales of the tardis#steven taylor#vicki pallister#spoilers#i’m going to be crying about this for a long time#i don’t have the words for what this means to me as a longtime hartnell era devotee#my sweet sweet beloved vicki#and my precious wonderful steven#both mean the world to me#i’m so okay and so not okay simultaneously#THE LAUGH. THE HARTNELL LAUGH.#i can’t

It’s been a while, but when I saw this image (Ian and Barbara) on the booklet in the 1st Doctor Blu-ray box set, I had to redraw them.

One of my favourite things about early Doctor who is that you can directly tell at a glance how much turmoil Barbara has been through by the magnitude of her hair :D
#that massive 60s hairspray elaboration on her head is glorious and dramatic#but any time she moves her head. it turns huger#like a bird threat display#doctor who#classic doctor who#hartnell era

Double Doctors! William Hartnell has a terrible time as wounded robber Jeff Richards, while Patrick Troughton is the unnamed (and uncredited!) tramp who finds Jeff's hiding place in Dial 999: 50,000 Hands (1.16, ABC, 1959)
#fave spotting#dial 999#classic doctor who#william hartnell#patrick troughton#doctor who#classic tv#itc#1959#or possibly '58; as I've said on the other Dial 999 posts‚ establishing a definitive transmission order is nearly impossible with tv from#this era. most sources agree this was the 16th episode shown‚ but a date isn't given anywhere but imdb‚ which provides only 1959 but has#dates scattered all over the place for other episodes in the show's run.#something of a fave spotting find‚ this! doctors one and two together in one episode of old tv‚ years before DW even existed#sadly the two‚ although technically in scenes together‚ never share the screen; in fact they never did‚ with Hartnell too ill to appear in#studio for DW tenth anniversary special The Three Doctors. he's in very fine form here tho‚ completely different to his other Dial 999#appearance (1.1‚ where he was a dangerous gangland leader). here he's a slightly sorry crook who's accidentally shot himself in the guts#he spends most of the episode wracked with pain and i must say Bill's very convincing and quite sympathetic. of note‚ his decidedly less#likeable partner in crime is played by Bill Fraser‚ Hartnell's costar in The Army Game (the first series of which had recently finished#when Dial 999 began airing). presumably a conscious choice on the producer's part?#Pat meanwhile has only a brief appearance here‚ playing a character imdb inexplicably identity as 'Benny'; I'm almost completely certain#that name never appeared in the episode‚ as he's mostly referred to simply as 'a tramp'‚ and it certainly doesn't appear in the credits as#Pat isn't credited (not unusual in early ITC shows which tended to credit only five or six key performers in an episode)#he gets a little comic business to do as he tries to evade Bob Beatty's tireless cop‚ and delivers his few lines in a rural accent of#indeterminate origin. apologies that i can't provide better pictures but network's dvd release‚ while welcome‚ doesn't appear to have had#much in the way of restoration (and who knows in what condition these eps survive; if the original films are still held then they'd be#potentially able to get a full shiny hd resto‚ but it could always be that the archived eps are overseas tapes or other inferior copies#i just don't know tbh! there simply isn't a huge amount of info out there about this 65 year old obscure cop show! for shame everyone! /jk)

watching the entirety of Dr Who in chronological order and cataloguing every piece of lore feels like that one girl watching in horror as every peg gets shoved through the square hole
#the problem is if you think continuity and canon exist in Dr Who you already lost#classic dr who#dr who#I did watch in chronological order from the hartnell era. if you even care.
