Viral Question Thing

I was tagged by: feelingstabby!

Rule 1: Post the rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger has set for you in their posts, then make 11 new ones.

Rule 3: tag 11 people and link them in your post.

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

Questions:

1) What book can you read over and over and why?

For whatever reason, I'm not big on repeat-reading books (I went on holiday once and found a shop where you could trade them in, and that's a great idea I'd like to have local-er.)

I do, at some stage, wanna read the Harry Potter books again, because I was prepubescent when I read them and somehow they haven't stopped being a thing yet, so I get the feeling I've forgotten important bits by now.

I also have Horrible Histories/Science books that I pick up again every so often, because they contain Interesting Stuff and I, again, wind up forgetting it.

2) If you could go back and change something in your past, would you and why?

Various regrets and embarrassments have convinced me the true purpose of time-travel is to fly along your own timeline and intermittently punch yourself in the face.

So, to stop that future asshole from punching me in the face.

3) What’s one food you can’t live without?

There's a few, but I'll say chicken. My afterlife will involve pecking and vengeance.

4) What is your most treasured memento?

I have exactly two plushies I refuse to get rid of eventually: a snake and a Scooby-Doo. I also have this little gold dolphin that serves as a good-luck charm.

5) If you could instantly learn one skill, what would it be?

Cooking, because university looms. Failing that, piano. Or being the Batman.

6) Would you take a look into your own future even if it meant “spoiling” yourself?

I'd consider it, but probably wuss out. Surprise is the spice of life etc.

7) Where would you want to be when the zombie outbreak starts?

A Jaeger, with handy co-pilot. If it's only just started, cancelling the apocalypse could be a fun morning.

8) What’s your least favorite class or job?

My least favourite class was PE, because I am a stereotype. Least favourite job...I don't know. Probably farmer.

One job I could never ever do but always feel a twinge of jealousy for those who do would be astronaut, if that counts.

9) If you could safely keep any animal real or imaginary what would it be?

A dragon. I'm sure there are other answers, but they're wrong.

10) Favorite scent?

Strawberries and forests. Also probably gasoline because so does everyone.

11) Least favorite thing about your favorite fandom?

I am a fan of things, but don't know if I've crossed the border into fandom. Presumably you get a free t-shirt, a ship, a villain who actually did no wrong and and a cardboard cutout of Harry Styles. Besides, they kinda tend to implode. So that.

Here come the questions!

1.) What is your favourite instument (mayonaise is not an instrument)?

2.) You are locked in a room with a giant insect. What do you hope it is?

3.) What was the last good book you read?

4.) After being kidnapped by terrorists who want you to build them a missile, a dying alien gives you a ring which shoots your parents with a radioactive spider. In short, you get a superpower. Which one do you want, and what do you do with it?

5.) What would be your best death?

6.) Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?

7.) What was your best holiday?

8.) If you had one murder with no legal ramifications, would you take it? If so, who?

9.) What would be your message for alien life?

10.) You are granted one free object, by the Free Object Organisation. What do you want?

11.) Which fictional character would you like to have the life of?

Tagging anyone I know who hasn't got this. Both of you. :P Though if anyone wants a second round, feel free!

Thank you to everyone who answered my question!

adorksgeekyart answered: That is question that in nearly unquestionable. What is a Doctor without his Tardis? And a Tardis without her Doctor?

heartoftardis answered: They are equally important. You can’t have one without the other.

b-lynninja answered: “We don’t work that way” comes to mind.

eflauta answered: The Doctor.

strandedonamountain answered: The writing. Without the DOctor, we’d be watching The TARDIS

thetruthandthedream answered: The Doctor

The question was "Which do you think is more important to Doctor Who: The Doctor or the TARDIS?"

Now allow me to explain the question.

I was thinking last night about the importance of character to any story. Many people would tell you that without characters, a story simply doesn't work. As a Doctor Who fan, I began to think about the importance of the TARDIS to the Doctor, as a character and in the grand scheme of the story that is Doctor Who. I know, of course, that the TARDIS is herself a character, as was confirmed in the brilliant episode The Doctor's Wife. However, for the purposes of this, I shall be looking at the TARDIS as part of the plot, a plot device.

Going back to the very beginning of Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child opens with the distant sounds of a bell, a police officer is walking through the foggy night, opening the gates to a junk yard to ensure that everything is as it should be. He shines his torch around, and sees a police box, standing in the junk yard. (Indeed, in the Target novelization of An Unearthly Child, the police officer wonders why it's there, but then concludes that it must be old and no longer functional.) All Doctor Who fans are well aware that this police box is actually a TARDIS, a magnificent time ship that can take one anywhere and anywhen. This time ship, this TARDIS, belongs to a mysterious character known as the Doctor, and only as the Doctor.

Doctor Who literally begins with the TARDIS. Doctor Who is the story of the Doctor, true. Sure, the story of the Doctor as a whole begins, of course, with the Doctor, but our view into the Doctor's Universe begins with the TARDIS.

Which leads me to this: would the Doctor be an interesting character without the TARDIS?

I would say that the biggest appeal to the Doctor is not his advanced, alien intelligence, or his eccentric personality. His greatest appeal is the possibility that being around the Doctor brings: the chance to do everything, see anything, go anywhere. And that would not be possible without the TARDIS.

However, think of the Third Doctor's era. The majority of this era was spent on Earth, as the Doctor could no longer pilot his TARDIS. Did the show continue? Of course it did. The show even enjoyed a surge of popularity, bringing in viewers who weren't as fond of the alien ships and planets of Doctor Who until that point, but thoroughly enjoyed the drama playing out on the familiar planet Earth. All of this, was without the TARDIS bringing the Doctor to a new place every week.

The reason I asked the question, "Which do you think is more important to Doctor Who: The Doctor, or the TARDIS?" was to see what other Whovians thought about this. My own opinion is that they are equally important. As adorksgeekyart said, you cannot have the TARDIS without the Doctor, and you cannot have the Doctor without the TARDIS. They are both equally important, and the show would be nothing without either. Did the Doctor spend time without access to the Universe via the TARDIS? Yup. But it was his experience of the Universe that aided so much with the alien invasions that the Third Doctor's era (The UNIT era) featured. I'd say that the majority of this experienced didn't come from his Time Lord education, but from his experiences travelling the Universe. 

Again, thank you for the responses, and if you've read this to the end, thank you for dealing with my rambles.

[creatinggallifreyan]

Can you show TARDIS in Gallifreyan. If you've already done it, please direct me. I looked but couldn't find it.

We haven't entirely decided on how to translate the acronym TARDIS. This is obviously a very important issue, so we're waiting to get more things done before coming to a decision on that.
