#like a doctor who fan with a scarf

[slowlystupendousdelusion]

So you see Sutekh's big black cloak he's wearing?

That's him taking fashion inspo from Ruby's mum, right?

[moominmammaonheroin]

Hi guys. MORE Jonathan Sims because he’s probably the best character ever written tbh

[demilypyro]

MLP lore lesson: This male hourglass cutiemark pony. Most fans of the show will know him, but I think this lore might be funny to learn for people who weren't part of the fandom at the time.

He was originally a generic townie that appeared in some episodes as a random passerby. The fandom decided he resembled David Tennant as The Doctor on Doctor Who, taking the hourglass cutiemark as a reference to time travel, and thus the fans named him Doctor Whooves. In fanworks, he was commonly paired up with "Derpy Hooves", another popular background pony, mirroring The Doctor's MO of traveling with a female companion.

Like many popular fan-interpretations of the background ponies, this fanon was eventually semi-canonized in copyright-safe ways in later seasons. They started giving him accessories that referenced different Doctors, such as David Tennant's tie and 3D glasses, Tom Baker's scarf, and Matt Smith's bow tie.

Finally, in the season 5 episode Slice of Life, he was canonically referred to as "Doc" and "Doctor", as well as researching time travel alongside Derpy Hooves, as clear nods to the fandom.

Though the character is usually referred to as "Time Turner" in official sources, there are at least a few instances of the character being officially referred to as "Doctor Whooves" or "Doctor Hooves", such as in figures and on a trading card. There is also a comic where he appears on a variant cover with multiple Doctor Who references, such as a Weeping Angel and a street lamp that resembles the Tardis.

What your favourite Doctor says about you (just like the Master and Companion lists, this is all just jokes and my own terrible takes, absolutely no offence intended towards anyone). This is gonna be a long one, so good luck:

One (I think):

Is somehow able to sit through The Keys of Marinus whilst completely sober. Their feelings on Twice Upon a Time completely depend on whether they are able to accept that TV shows made in the 1960s will inevitably have some outdated bits or not. Loves slow-burners and less science-heavy stories, and wishes the Doctor would go back to trolling his companions again. Prays every night for The Celestial Toymaker and Marco Polo to be found. Hates the Timeless Child with a burning passion.

Two:

Two fans deserve a lot better. Despite a large chunk of their era being limited to surviving audio, PowerPoint presentations telesnaps and the, er, mixed bag of animated reconstructions, they still contribute a lot to the discussion of Classic Who and are usually well versed in the lore of the EU. 2nd Doctor fans are remarkable, as they are able to get along with pretty much every other group of fans. However, there is plenty of infighting thanks to the UNIT dating controversy and which story should be reconstructed next. If they ship Two/Jamie, they have fully earned your love and are surprisingly good if you pass them the aux.

Three:

Pretty much blows a gasket whenever some idiot says that the modern era is 'too political'. Like, I'm sorry, but was the "England for the English" scene in the Claws of Axos a little too subtle for you? Were Malcolm Hulke's scripts absolutely apolitical in your eyes? Does the mere existence of The Green Death mean nothing to you?! Oh, well maybe you should try WATCHING THE SHOW and DOING YOUR RESEARCH before you start claiming that it's become 'tOo pOLiTiCaL' because the main characters aren't always played by Whiteguy McStraight now, shouldn't you?! YOU AND YOUR MEDIOCRE OPINION SHALL COWER BEFORE MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE THIRD DOCTOR'S ERA AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME!

It is for this very reason that 3rd Doctor fans get along particularly well with 13th Doctor fans. Perfectly nice people with a great sense of humour and an excellent taste in episodes, unless a conversation resembling the above occurs, at which point you will see how much damage the repressed urge to do Venusian Akido can do. Refuses to admit that The Ambassadors of Death is two episodes too long.

Four:

Either a child of the 70s or chaos incarnate. Yes, 4 is pretty much the universally recognised Doctor, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the most unhinged Doctors. Loves more gothic horror-themed episodes and can ignore the somewhat questionable production qualities of early Baker stories. They have almost certainly attempted to make The Scarf at one point; whether they were successful or not entirely depends on their talent for knitting. Is surprisingly ok with admitting that Tom Baker stayed for a little too long and that his later seasons were a little underwhelming. Hasn't stopped them from watching every version of Shada though.

Five:

The tired parental figure of any group they are in. They immediately related to this Doctor when they saw 5 trying to hold it together whilst his multiple adopted humans argued, whined and got themselves trapped on doomed freighter ships. Has tried to play cricket once, but a general confusion over the rules and a few broken windows stopped that. You can take care of the cinnamon roll that is the standard 5 fan by providing them with cups of tea, giving them lots of hugs and removing all copies of Time Flight from your house.

Six:

Best fashion sense out of all the fans... somehow. Their favourite episodes are usually Vengeance on Varos or Revelation of the Daleks (both bangers), although they lean more heavily towards EU and Big Finish material, where the stories are more consistent and the costumes are less yikes. Either the best or worst fan to be around, either giving fair balanced views on the show or just being an absolute arse. Loves cats. Hates Michael Grade. Kind of ambivalent towards Mel.

Seven:

If 2nd Doctor fans are well versed in the EU lore, then these individuals are fucking academics. Constantly annoyed that 7 had two of the best seasons of Classic Who and was the darkest Doctor but is only remembered for Time and the Rani for some reason. Their favourite companion will always be Ace, which is what motivated them to watch Power of the Doctor. Usually excellent taste in stories, but is completely capable of dragging you to the depths of the EU. Wishes the Doctor would commit a few more genocides. Their religious beliefs can be summarised in the phrase "Cartmel Master Plan". Still annoyed that the most strategic Doctor was killed by the two most American things (guns and bad healthcare), but gets along well with 8 fans despite that. Somehow understands Ghost Light after just 3 rewatches.

Eight:

Big Finish fan. Basically willing to explain the entire plot of Dark Eyes if you ask them. Thinks the TV Movie is just OK, and has rewatched Night of the Doctor too many times to count. Loves a sad boy, and has definitely referred to 8 as a "poor little meow meow" at some point. Wishes 8's TARDIS interior was still intact and that he'll get his own live action series. Had an actual heart attack when he appeared in Power of the Doctor. Usually a bisexual from my personal experience, and looking at Paul McGann in the 90s, I can see why.

War (or is it Nine?):

We're stepping into the depths of the Moffat cult with this one. Wants a more traumatised Doctor, and kind of wishes we saw more of the Time War beyond the laser battle in Day of the Doctor. Content to sit back and watch due to the fact that the War Doctor had the perfect arc in his one episode, although they are happy that the War Doctor still pops up in the EU. Bridging the gap between the modern and classic series means they get along well with everyone except Shalka fans.

Nine (the Curse of Fatal Death one):

Does this one count? Just loves the classic series. Still praying for Joanna Lumley as the Doctor. Nowhere near as obnoxious as the Shalka fans and surprisingly funny.

Nine (the Scream of the Shalka one):

They pride themselves on being 'against the trend' and being fans of an overlooked bit of Doctor Who history. Doesn't quite realise that Scream of the Shalka was basically an B-tier Big Finish story with janky animation. Wants Richard E Grant to show up again. Constantly attempting to upset Eccleston and Hurt fans, only to get angry when everyone forgets Scream of the Shalka existed. They definitely listen to Weezer.

Ten, no, another Nine (the Eccleston one):

The word "fantastic" is permanently superglued to their vocabulary, and yet it never gets old. Owns a leather jacket too. Wishes that the BBC hadn't been stupid and Eccleston had stayed on for another series, but doesn't hold it against Tennant. Knows the Daleks were at their best in S1. Really wants the Reapers to return, and was utterly distraught after Chibs kind of ruined 9's role in the wider arc by blowing up Gallifrey again. Major nostalgia for the 2000s with this one, and is slowly becoming a member of the Big Finish cult thanks to Eccleston's return. Understandably forgot Adam was a thing. Both loves and hates John Barrowman.

Ten? Eleven? Ten and a half? The Tennant one. I hate numbers:

Their first experience to Doctor Who was during the golden age- wait, no, sorry, the RTD cult has threatened to terminate my membership if I'm not honest with this one.

Either a child of the 2000s, a member of the aforementioned RTD cult or someone who just likes the show to be more emotionally resonant. Well, that or they are the blandest person alive. If they acknowledge how good 10's arc was in terms of deconstructing the Doctor and setting up his fall from grace via misplaced attachments and vanity, then absolutely someone to be around. If they simply say "because he was popular", definitely bland. We all know Tennant was popular, it's still not one of the many valid reasons to love him. They have an easygoing relationship with 4 and 11 fans, and otherwise OK relations with the rest of Doctors fan groups, although there is a bit of friction between 13 stans due to 10 being dragged into a lot of 13's media post-2020 to boost ratings. They didn't like it because it cheapned 10's return and era whilst also overshadowing 13. 13 stans didn't like it because it basically gave the message that the BBC had given up on 13 before her era had finished.

Definitely excited for the 60th after the regeneration and the announcement of RTD's return. Has tried owning a pair of converses, only to find out that they aren't exactly cheap. Has fought for the Ten/Rose ship on multiple occasions. Tried hair gel once, with disastrous consequences.

Huh. This one was incredibly easy to write. All I had to do was look in a mirror.

Thirte- no, Eleven:

Major ADHD energy in the best possible way. Saw the chaotic excitable Doctor and immediately fell in love. They will not rest until they have forced every former Doctor to read the "Hello Stonehenge" speech. They have also cosplayed the most out of any fan, due to the availability of fezzes and bow ties. Definitely the most fun to be around at a party. Was disappointed by Matt Smith's decision not to return for the 60th, especially after the absolute banger that was Day of the Doctor. If they ship 11 with River, they're cool, even though 11 was very asexual in S5. If they ship him with anyone else, then yikes. Wishes for the show to return to a quirky fairytale tone again.

If they were present during the SuperWhoLock days, keep an eye on them. You're only one drink away from dragging us back to 2013, and I ain't reading any of that fanfiction again *shudders*.

Fourte- FUCK, Twelve:

A certified member of the Steven Moffat cult, or just someone who likes some of their stories to have a slightly more mature tone. Has tried to play the electric guitar more than once, only to be forced to stop by their partners or housemates. Either willing to admit some of the flaws of the era or strongly defends it, with no inbetween. Absolutely correct in their assertion that S9 and 10 absolutely slapped, although this cam be undermined if they try to defend Sleep No More. If they ship River and 12, then you can trust them with anything, and they will offer you good relationship advice. If they ship 12 and Clara in a romantic way (which is strange to me cos i always got platonic BFF vibes from them, but that's just me), they definitely have relationship advice, although waiting 4 billion years to get your memory wiped is a questionable means of resolving conflict. They have a pair of the sonic sunglasses. Cried when Capaldis majestic floofy hair got shaved off for a superhero film.

Thirteen? That's right? Phew, finally getting the hang of this. Ok, Thirteen:

There are two types of 13 fan. The first is cinnamoniest of rolls. Is just happy to sit back and have fun, thus allowing them to enjoy pretty much any episode (something that a lot of people could learn from). Immediately realised that Jodie is an amazing Doctor and deserves more praise and justice. Definitely shipped Thasmin, and are the best at constructive criticism, recognising what worked and didn't in a respectful, polite way (again, something we could all learn from). Wierdly enough, they get along well with all the Doctor fans, as they are a wholesome ray of sunshine that reminds us that every era has something to offer, no matter the general consensus.

The second type masquerades as the first, but gets all hipster-y and more than willing to use the term 'overrated' when RTD or Tennant are mentioned (so basically a healthy 80% of the #antiRTD tag).

Both are convinced that the Chibnall Era will receive a massive reappraisal like the 12th Doctor's era did, despite the odds of that happening being the same as an on-screen Thasmin kiss. I'm so sorry, that's a really mean line to end this bit on. Let's instead end by saying Haunting of Villa Diodati is an absolute banger of an episode.

Ruth:

Loves the admittedly cool concept of a mystery incarnation. The rest depends on their theory of where the Ruth Doctor fits in. If they use the season 6B theory, then they have an encyclopedic knowledge of the classical series and the EU regardless of whether they have watched it or not. If they use the Timeless Child/Division theory, then they basically settled for the easier version of 6B after looking into the insane asylum that is classic who and EU discourse (wise choice). If they think she's from an alternative universe, thinks that she's Omega, Rassilon, The Rani, The Master or any other figure, then they practically have a gold medal in Mental Gymnastics. Either way, all of them don't like to admit that they are unfortunately limited to 4 episodes (three of them being fairly mid, the other being a mild car crash) and a pretty good comic. Cool fashion taste. Gets along with 13 stans and, surprisingly, 2nd Doctor fans.

Fourteen- oh for fucks sake:

YOU ARE TENTH DOCTOR FANS. GO BACK TO EARLIER ON IN THE POST. YES, I KNOW THAT'S THE BBC'S OFFICIAL LINE AT THE MOMENT. YES, I KNOW YOU'RE HYPED FOR THE 60TH, I AM A HYPED RTD CULTIST TOO. JUST WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER. P L E A S E.

Fourt- no fifteen- no, fourteen- BBC, HAVE MERCY:

Only in the Doctor Who fandom can a Doctor who has only appeared in a brief clip and some photos have a fully developed fanbase. I should know, I've already joined it. Ncuti's photos in that suit sealed the deal. Either an RTD cultist or someone just looking forward to a fresh new direction. Also very fashionable. Has a somewhat complicated relationship with 13th Doctor fans due to the fact that Ncuti's first season and casting completely overshadowed S13 and the specials, but Ncuti also had to deal with the same levels of toxicity from the same 'fans' who threw temper tantrums at Jodie's casting in 2017. Best haircuts out of all the Doctor Who fans. Strange but true.

Full Fathom Five:

Y'all scare me.

Zagreus:

Y'all terrify me.

The Watcher:

Y'all confuse me.

The Valeyard:

Has wanted a darker series since god knows when. Was kind of annoyed when the Time Lord Victorious arc wasn't dedicated to a whole series. Also, the Valeyard is the Shadow the Hedgehog of the Whoniverse. I refuse to elaborate any further.

The Curator:

"Alright gang, let's see who the Curator fans really are!"

Pulls off mask

"Fourth Doctor fans?!"

All jokes aside, they just want a more experienced Doctor. Accepts that the show will have to end one day, and is cool with that, since they already have the perfect ending. Either cool grandad vibes or an actual grandad. Good knitwear. Their response to everything is simply putting the kettle on.

Doctor Moon:

Now these ones are very, very rare. I personally love the theory that Doctor Moon is a future version of the Doctor who is keeping River and the Library safe, but limiting your favourite Doctor to two episodes and an endorsement of the theory from Steven Moffat? Now that takes guts, and I like it. Usually partial to classy clothes, and talks in a very formal tone. Their best subject is usually maths.

Dr Who (Peter Cushing):

Unashamedly insane. Saw the absolutely glorious cheese-fest that was the 1960s Dalek movies and ended up loving one of the most unique versions of the Doctor. Is absolutely fine with bypassing 90% of the TV shows lore, making them really fun to talk to. Time Lords? Nah. Sonic screwdriver? Nope. Their Doctor is a wacky grandpa who built a multi-dimensional time machine in their back garden, and they love it. Is a sucker for Alternate Universe stories and usually loves classic B-movies. Knows that the movies kind of suck as adaptations, but as pure 1960s camp, they are unbeatable. Absolute legends.

All of Them:

The glue that holds this fanbase together. Enlightened individuals who have to check in every now and then to make sure that we mere mortals are behaving ourselves. They just simply enjoy the show and hold no biases. Absolutely infuriating to talk to for that very reason.

inspo under cut bc im scared the doctor who fans will assassinate me if i spoil something despite this screenshot being from like the 70s or 80s idk i havent seen the show other than genesis of the daleks

[lanawinterscigarettes]

requesting fluff with dhawan!master x their gn! companion

I tried to make this extra cute and fluffy because I'm such a sucker for those kinds of things (also shout out to my bestest bud @your-next-daydream for helping me come up with this corny ass pun of a title. I love you sm <3)

The One Who Rocks My World (Dhawan! Master x reader)

Warnings: soft! Master (he might be slightly ooc due to a part in this where he gets a little emotional), teeny weeny bit of hurt/comfort, but mostly just lots and lots of fluff

"Ooh, let's go there!" You said in excitement, pointing at a random alien marketplace that popped up on one of the TARDIS console's many screens.

The Master merely sighed, knowing you wouldn't stop pestering him until you got what you wanted. He usually wasn't a fan of random, one off trips (he wasn't The Doctor) but something about you always made it so hard for him to say no.

"Fine, but we're staying for no longer than two hours, three tops. And I'm not buying you anything there." He said sternly, glancing up at you while he punched in the coordinates. "Do you understand?"

You simply squealed happily in response, clapping your hands together. "Yay! I knew you'd say yes!"

Less than twenty minutes later, the two of you arrived at the marketplace. You'd grabbed The Master by the hand and were already starting to drag him towards it before the TARDIS had even landed properly.

"Slow down, the market's not going anywhere in the ten minutes it'll take us to get there," he grumbled, though he made no real attempt to stop you, something he could very well do if he so pleased.

He lingered a little behind you, following you around from vendor to vendor as you oohed and awed over the different wares being sold.

"Remember, I'm not buying you anything, so don't pick anything up if you don't have the money to pay for it," he called after you, watching as you picked up a piece of fabric that was similar to a scarf.

You frowned slightly before putting it back down, knowing full well that even if you did have the money, you most likely wouldn't know how much to give them, and you had no interest in being scammed by some random alien seller, again.

The Master shook his head at your antics, smiling softly to himself. As irritating as you could be sometimes, he did have to admit he found it to be pretty endearing.

He turned to say something else to you before realizing you'd run off again, though to where he wasn't entirely sure. He was about to start tearing apart the entire marketplace looking for you before you suddenly popped up again, this time holding something in your hands.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to figure out what you had. "What's that in your hands?"

"Oh, I found it on the ground over there!" You said while pointing to a beachy area that was littered with small, multicolored stones. "It's for you."

He looked at you in confusion as he took the stone, not quite sure what to say. "What is this?"

"It's a rock." You stated plainly, doing nothing to actually answer his question.

"Yes, I'm well aware of that." He did his best to supress an eye roll. "I mean, why are you giving it to me?"

"Well, because I care about you," you stated as though it should've been obvious. "And you give gifts to people you care about."

That made sense, he supposed, though The Master never really did view himself as someone other people would care for. But, still. A rock?

"Why a rock?" He asked curiously, turning it over in his hands.

"Because it's purple," you simply replied, an unwavering smile on your face. "And you wear purple a lot, so I figured it must be one of your favorite colors. Plus, it reminded me of you."

Your words made him want to cry. You thought about him enough that you were reminded of him in even the smallest of things?

"It's- it's very nice," he choked out, blinking back a sudden onslaught of tears.

You frowned slightly, your forehead creasing in concern. "Aw, don't cry." You immediately wrapped your arms around him, pulling him in for a comforting hug.

He wasn't nearly as stiff as he was the first few times you showed him physical affection, but he was obviously still a little awkward about it, holding his arms out to the side while you hugged him.

He glanced yet again at the rock in his hand, watching as the mixture of colors shined brightly in the sun, like his very own kaleidoscope.

The purple color of the stone made him smile, and he very slowly did his best to hug you back properly, not missing the way you seemed to hold on for a bit longer after that.

If this was always what happened when you went on trips together, then he'd have to make sure to plan them more often.

I can think of one (1) guidance counselor who's thrilled to celebrate Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, by cosplaying as the 4th Doctor. (he's especially proud of the hand-knitted scarf, part of a series)

Bonus: Some geeks geeking out (or a rare moment where the Belcher kids and mr Frond spend quality time together)

More about the art under the cut

"Entrepreneurship is no walk in the park. One day you have a thriving Etsy business selling hand-knitted Doctor Who scarves, the next, a PBS lawyer sends you a cease and desist letter that practically threatens to break your fingers."

After that scene, I needed more content of mr Frond fangirling over Doctor Who!

It makes sense to me that he'll cosplay as the 4th Doctor. As someone who's born in the early 70s (according to wiki), he must have seen the episodes with Tom Baker back in the eighties. But I believe he likes the newer incarnations too.

Αn other headcanon of mine is that mr Frond likes going to comic-cons, either as a cosplayer or as just a fan. I have no idea what they're talking about in the second drawing, but they probably run into each other in a comic-con and the Belchers started asking him questions about his costume and the show, which he's more than glad to answer! Gene and Louise got really invested in the show's story really fast (Louise trying to hide her interest with sarcasm), while Tina just vibed and enjoyed mr Frond's Jelly Babies.

Wallter Headcanons

Wallter has autism and cronic muscular pain. He was diagnosed for both at a young age and has used a cane most of his life. He started drinking Gray Stuff as a way of managing the pain, but became addicted. Not because it's a painkiller, he's just addicted to drinking wet concrete.

She's always needed glasses, but Gray Stuff has made it worse.

He is ethnically Polish and is from the US. Why does he sound British? Nobody in his family knows.

The reason he sounds British is because he’s an Anglophile (2013 Tumblr style). He watches way too many British shows for someone who isn’t British, has been a lifelong fan of Dr Who, and one of his bathrooms is decorated with knick knacks that depict Queen Elizabeth II.

They are currently 56. They met Mark in their early 30s, got married at 48, started drinking Gray Stuff at 50, and got divorced at 54.

He identifies as a nonbinary lesbian. If he knew what objectum was he'd identify as that as well.

She is attracted to buildings. Carnally. She became an architect because it meant she gets to draw beautiful buildings all day.

Their first crush was the Tardis.

Before she started drinking Gray Stuff, she was made of clay.

Despite being made of concrete, she's still very expressive when it comes to her face. This is because the concrete has some give and pliability to it.

He has cracks all over his body, but the most severe are around joints.

Side effects of excessive have been stiff joints, slowed movement, frequent migraines, and memory issues. He has also undergone personality changes, becoming more selfish and self-asborbed. These are all a result of what is essentially the calcification of his brain as it's slowly turned into concrete. If he doesn't stop drinking Gray Stuff soon, it will kill him.

Terrible cook. They eat like a college student in a kitchenless dorm.

All of her clothes are either designer brands or custom tailored. The only exception is the scarf Mark gave her.

She met Lampert at Rokea while furniture shopping with Mark. She later encountered him again at a gay bar where Mark introduced them properly, and that’s where they hit it off as friends. She has never felt paternalistic feelings towards Lampert.

He has flirted with DrRETRO many times and is interested in dating her, but still refuses to take her advice as a doctor.

He and Mark met at a mixer for disabled people in construction jobs.

They no longer have any romantic feelings for Mark. They still have some platonic affection for him, but that tends to be outweighed by how annoying he can be trying to prove how "over them" he is.

[league-of-blorbos]

Is it just me, I'm usually a huge fan of most of LoR's redesigns but now I'm not a fan of Morgan's look here. It's not nearly as blue Mordekaiser but I think I just really like the look of her long dress with the wings wrapped around it but... idk she looks great in the first art (I love her little golden wing scarf) but her outfit is different in the level 2 art and now she lost her sleeves, gained a boob window, and is wearing a body suit that makes her look like Kai'Sa? I think her dress is supposed to be torn up but it's hard to tell with the chains all around her. And what happened to her wings being bound together so she could look more human? Like I know League Morgana had that same issue but it looks even WORSE here, I loved Janna's redesign so much why am I not into Morgana and Morde's new looks at all?

At least her followers look amazing, love the vague plague doctor influence as they are also villainous looking people who were just trying to do good for their time period

[13thdoctorposts]

I just ordered all of Jodie's era on DVD (I'm a physical media lover) and can I say how wonderful and ironic it is to see the thousands of top star reviews for her merchandise and how stuff like certain figurines and her TARDIS figurine are either totally sold out or priced up hundreds of pounds when the haters say she's unpopular and doesn't sell. I mean she even has her officially licensed scarf and everything lol. People love her Doctor.

People seem to take the downward trend of spending during the pandemic as some sort of indictment that 13/Jodie doesn't sell, when in fact in 2018/9 there was a ton of merch that sold just like all Doctor Who merch does, we got the 10inch doll, a barbie, action figures, her sonic, her series 11 funko pop set, 3 novels with matching audio books, 5 YA/Kids books, Comics, games, eaglemoss figures... and thats just off the top of my head and doesn't even include all the generic DW merch... then 2020 came... 13 era merch seemed to vanish... gee I wonder what happened that year that heavily effected the economy, the workforce and businesses, not to mention peoples LIVES? People were losing their jobs, hoping not to get sick, dealing with having sick loved ones and trying to make sure they had enough toilet paper somehow I don't think any shows merch was top of peoples minds, and businesses that were essential to making merch were losing money, making it harder to make things!

I don't believe there has ever been a problem with 13/Jodie selling, unfortunately during her tenure one of the most disruptive events in our generation happened and merch wasn't a priority and even made for fans to buy during that time due to the conditions, restrictions, and economy to know if it wouldn't sell, so its a ridiculous argument.

But as you said theres also a number of items of her merch that are not only expensive if you want one now but you'll be lucky if they even come up for sale because clearly people want to keep them.

For example... 13 Build a Bear, 13 Blush bear from Children in Need, the 2018 SDCC 13 Pop, the 1/5 signature edition Big Chief Studios figure.

You want any of these not only will you have to wait who knows how long for one to come up to buy but expect to be paying a small fortune... However you want a 10th Doctor Build a Bear? They are on Ebay now, more pricey then buying originally from Build a Bear but no where near as much as a 13 Bear when it comes up I've seen 2 come up in 12 months. You want one of the other Doctor Chidlen in Need bears that were release? Yeah you can get them pretty regularly on Ebay too and a pretty good price, head over there now and you'll find them, never seen a 13 one for sale, Big Chief Studios figure? You can find most all the other Doctors, 13 I've seen it come up twice in the last 12 months on Ebay, and only 1 was in its original condition so good luck, and hopefully you have a weeks salary you don't need to buy it if you wanted it they are so expensive, you can still find listings for the 2018 SDCC 13 Pop but you got a spare 250+ pounds to pick it up? Haven't seen any other Doctor pops cost that much if you want to get one.

If Jodie was soooooo unpopular why is she one of the most expensive and elusive Doctors to be able to get merch for when she is technically the most recent Doctor with merch you should just be easily able to pick up.

Jodie also recently had prints of an image she painted sold for charity they were not cheap! There was only 50, they were gone in under 1 day.

Haters are just gonna make things up because the truth doesn't fit their narrative.

[trashboatprince]

I keep seeing people on twitter talking about how they don't like Fifteen because he's too flamboyant and the Doctor would never dress in a skirt (it's a fucking kilt) or a tight pinstripped suit.

And it's like...

Clearly you have never watched the show???

Three wore velvet, ruffles, and capes, Four and his infamous scarf and coats and too many layers, Five was in that whole cream and red sporty number with the celery, SIX! SIX IS NOTHING BUT RAINBOWS, MIXED PATTERNS, AND CAT PINS! And sometimes a blue coat.

Seven with his question marks, Eight and Nine are dressed like lesbians (affectionate), Ten fucking made pinstripes with trainers a Look, Eleven was all bowtied professor and purple Victorian whimsy.

Twelve was like a more modern Three with a bit of rock in there, and Thirteen continued the tradition of lesbian fashion. Fourteen just looked gay (affectionate), and even One and Two had their own iconic flare that clearly could be considered camp nowadays.

Fifteen is just continuing a long, wonderful tradition of being High Fashion. And with a bigger line of clothes to pick from!

But then again, twitter dw fans are assholes who completely miss all the points of the show, so... >.>

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Fifteen and what he brings to the table, so fuck off, twitter 'fans'.

The Legend of Venice…

This is halfway through posting on AO3, five chapters of the ten are available (fic is finished and I post every 3 days so it doesn’t take too long…)

The Who Omens gang (ok, 4/5 of them, Aziraphale is away on an important secret side quest…) head to 18th century Venice to visit Casanova, the Doctor’s double (also looks very like Crowley, although we have femme Crowley in this story to avoid quite that much confusion!)

The usual fun, sexiness, shenanigans and nonsense ensue, with a healthy dose of angst (seriously, when will the Doctor and Jack get their shit together?!) and honestly, Signora Crowley is so damn sexy it hurts.

There’s a little recap in the notes for the first chapter in case you’re not familiar with the group, but it’s so much fun, and if you’re a fan of David Tennant (and who here isn’t?) then you’ll probably have a good time… Also, little taster from Ch1 below the cut…

Rated E - for explicit sex. Various pairings, Crowley enacting some serious gender-fuckery in Ch4.

The Doctor was running as fast as he possibly could, long legs carrying him quickly over paved streets and steep bridges, hurtling around tight corners, crossing back and forth over canals. Several men were pursuing him, one who appeared to be a very successful and wealthy merchant, judging by his dress, accompanied by several members of his personal bodyguard. The Doctor didn’t have the slightest idea why they were chasing him, but they were persisting in doing so, and they had weapons, so he was running. Always running. Everywhere he went across the entirety of space and time, always running.

“Giacomo Casanova! Stop running and face me like a man! You scoundrel!”

Ah… that would explain it…

The merchant was stood at the apex of a bridge, yelling at the man he perceived to be Giacomo Casanova, infamous resident of eighteenth-century Venice. Giving up the chase on a personal level due to a painful stitch in his side and an inability to draw breath properly, he’d sent his guards on to continue the pursuit. The Doctor (very much not Casanova) was picking his way cautiously along a narrow ledge that ran beside a building, balancing carefully so as not to fall into the canal below. He was relying on his slender frame and superior agility to perform this gymnastic feat more successfully than the guards, whose additional layers of protective clothing and cumbersome weapons would almost certainly slow them down.

Not that the Doctor’s outfit was much more convenient. The tight black breeches and leather boots that came over his knees were fine (he rather liked the boots actually…), but the several layers on top were less helpful to his current situation. The rich fabrics of the long waistcoat and dress coat were heavy and stiff, not ideal for extended bouts of running, or pressing tightly against a wall to prevent himself taking an unplanned bath in the disgusting waters of a Venetian canal.

They were lovely though. The high-necked waistcoat was cream with embroidered detail in a golden thread, the coat fashioned in fabric that was the exact blue of his Tardis, edged with more gold. The open-necked shirt below the waistcoat was also Tardis-blue, while the scarf at his throat added a splash of deep red, probably a joke on Crowley’s part, adding a little bit of themselves to the outfit. Because the whole thing was a miracle, materialised out of nothing by the demon.

So actually, if it was going to help him escape…

He shrugged the coat off one shoulder and then the other. Clinging on to a loose brick in the wall with one hand, he tugged the coat off with his other, finding it was awkward, with the fabric so stiff. It wasn’t real, so why couldn’t Crowley have made it soft? He almost lost his footing, one long leather-clad leg swinging quite wildly out over the water, his hearts in his mouth for a moment. And then the coat was finally dislodged, one arm wriggling free. He swung his leg back onto the ledge, swapped his hands over, quickly grabbed his sonic screwdriver from the inside pocket, wedging it between his teeth, and flapped his now-free arm about until the coat eventually fell into the canal. Better.

The Doctor glanced back at his pursuers, who hadn’t actually made it out onto the ledge yet. There appeared to be some discussion as to how they would manage their weapons. Seeing the supposed-Casanova undressing, they were also considering following suit. One was arguing that they should take a boat (because there were always boats tied up along the edge of the canal, and they could ‘borrow’ one quite easily) and drag their prey from the ledge, rather than following him along it.

Given the lack of progress, the Doctor decided to lose the waistcoat too. He quickly unbuttoned it and shrugged it off, letting it too fall into the murky waters below. Crowley wouldn’t mind. Now, with only the loose-fitting shirt and scarf on his upper body, he was in a much better position to outrun his pursuers.

He slowly made his way along the ledge to the next bridge, where he stood for a moment, looking back at the merchant, sliding his sonic into one of his boots for safe keeping. Now he’d made it to the bridge, the guards had ceased their arguments and had set off down a side street at a run, probably taking a loop around the block to get to him, rather than the shorter but more challenging route he’d taken (a tactic, which, if they’d thought about it earlier, probably would have cut him off and enabled his easy capture…)

“There’s been a mistake! I’m not who you think I am!” he shouted at the merchant.

“Oh, come now, Giacomo! Don’t take me for a fool, well, no more than you already have, you bastard!”

“I don’t know what you think I’ve done,” he yelled, before continuing in a mutter to himself, “although I’m fairly sure I can work it out given who you seem to think I am…” and then back to a shout, “…but I assure you, it wasn’t me!”

“Really? I’m not stupid! Show me some respect, Giacomo! Own your crimes!”

“Oh, I’m sure he would! But I’m not him!” Exasperated, the Doctor saw no option but to continue running. The merchant would never believe him (and why should he?), and the guards could be heard thudding down the street towards him. He ran, over the bridge and along the street, heading for the safety of the Tardis now.

“Casanova! Get back here you ungrateful swine!”

In a building up above, another man heard shouting and wondered what the commotion was about. Opening a window and sticking his head out, he spotted a small group of guards in the distance, pursuing a lone figure in a blue shirt who was running along the street towards him. He refocused on the figure and gasped in shock. That’s me… but I’m right here. Well, it’s not me, can’t be me, obviously… but he looks just like me! He blinked a few times, but as the man came closer, he only grew more certain. The resemblance was quite alarmingly complete, the pair identical in every feature. Except his hair… his hair is quite lovely. How does he get it to do that?

The Doctor glanced up; his eye caught by a figure leaning out of a window. He stopped. That’s him! It’s bloody him! And… wow… that is…

He’d seen the image Crowley had put into his head, but still… the likeness was a shock.

“Casanova, give yourself up! You can’t outrun us forever!” one of the guards shouted.

Looking around, the Doctor realised the guards were catching up to him fast. With a last glance up at the man in the window, who was looking even more bewildered now that his own name had been applied to his doppelgänger in the street, the Doctor grinned and saluted him, before setting off again, running. He wouldn’t give the actual Giacomo Casanova up to the guards (although their confusion would have been incredible…), because it wasn’t far to the Tardis, and they could save the complicated questions for another time, when he was in his proper clothes and less out of breath.

Casanova watched the figure as he ran off down the street, the guards in hot pursuit. Who on earth was he? Why did they look the same? Why were they calling him by his name? And why was his hair so amazing?

The Doctor swung round another corner and spotted the Tardis in a dark, unobtrusive corner of the alleyway. He sped towards her, rooting in the tight pocket of the breeches for his key. These clothes just really weren’t convenient…

His shoulder slammed into the door as he scrambled to get the key into the lock, turn it and get inside. Once he was in, he shut the door behind him and leaned against it, gulping oxygen into his lungs.

Well, that was a disaster.

Why Port Mafia will stay as vampires

Hello~~

This time I wanted to broach something different^^

I usually like to check fandom opinions when new chapter drops and there was something that really puzzled me – that lot of fans thinks that vampirism needs to healed and like it is the worst thing that happened to our characters.

I mean I understand feeling protective about characters – ofc, it is bad to lose free will, but from story perspective it is just another trial to test our heroes and help them grow. They will be fine, don’t worry^^

But still, no matter how this arc will conclude I think that PM will stay as vampires and here are my reasons:

PM is coded similarly as vampires from very beginning

You know the basic – both vampires and PM are strongly associated with night and death.

As part of Tripartite Tactic PM stands for night. Moreover, through the story PM is compared to night very often -  maybe even almost enough for drinking game xD

“The merciless tyrant of the night and his army of the death – that was what people called Port Mafia”

“It’s time to remind our enemies why we used to be called the terror of the night”

– both from Fifteen

“Mafia takes their role as ‘Wardens of the night’ seriously” – Dazai about PM in ch 46

“Whatever pride they have in their speed, they can’t run from ‘the night’ forever” – Mori in ch 46

There is probably more, but you know the drill.

As for death – mafia rules through power dominance and killing is not a problem to anybody from that group.It is just the way they works.

And visually too – i mean, just look:

Especially in anime, they gave him so much vampire lord aura xD In manga too, his ‘doctor’ attire is just an act and his true self is PM leader in that fitting clothing - black trench coat, red scarf and white gloves – which all are very vampire style. Through this perspective even Elise can be interpreted that way – immortal being in a form of young girl – just like Claudia from Interview with the Vampire.

Speaking of that novel  - you know there is also insanely powerful redhead with bad temper xD Though it can be just coincidence as personality-wise Armand and Chuuya are very different and have rather opposite morals xD

Let’s move to Aku:

Whole Akutagawa appearance is much reminiscent of vampire – pale complexion, black coat with white jabot - really give that feel. Also Akutagawa uses a bit of archaic language, which is something often appearing in vampire stories too.

Frankly, imo from the start Asagiri thought of Akutagawa (and maybe whole PM) eventually becoming vampire – after all, our MC Atsushi is were-tiger (as a spin on werewolf) and in pop-culture natural opposite of werewolves are vampires just like Atsushi-Aku are.

Vampire healing as power-up

If you look at it practically – vampire healing can actually be really useful for main PM characters:

Chuuya – healing will help a lot sustaining wounds during Corruption (I am 80% sure we will going to see it in next chapters) and maybe even vampire mind control will help with controlling Arahabaki

Akutagawa – healing as bypassing his incurable illness. Just honestly, I would be very surprised if Asagiri intends Aku to stay dead for good – he is just too important to Atsushi and Dazai character arc

Tachihara – as Hunted dog he needs monthly check-ups to not die. Healing would render that not needed if Asagiri intends for him to stay in PM, which is most likely as he is ‘true mafioso’ at heart

Even for rest of PM like Higuchi, Gin – healing would be strong asset as well.

To sum it up, it is just too good opportunity on too many levels to let it slip

Vampirism and abilities are not bad

It is important to look at it from thematic perspective – abilities are not villains of the story but the people who use them in wrong way.

Vampirism is not the main problem to our protagonist, but the fact that Fukuchi and Fyodor use such methods (vampirism, one order), which robs people of their free will to achieve what they want. Even if their goal is not necessarily malevolent in its nature – still it is very ‘the end justifies the means’ approach which is morally bad one.

Especially it is important that source of vampirism – Bram is just being used by DoA and he personally doesn’t want to create any fledglings. But again, because Fukuchi controls him via sword – he had no choice but to spread the infection or die. 

My guess is that we will see Atsushi running into Aya and Bram in next chapters and that after internal struggle he will realize that killing Bram is not a option - that ADA goal should be to free all vampires from mind control. Even it could go how usually vampire stories go – that vampirism as skill will be transferred to someone from PM (probably Mori or Aku, though it can be also Fyodor), who will switch off mind control.

And this would grant happy ending for Bram too – starting to live as normal human - pretty please, poor man has been through a lot T_T

Ofc it is just my theory and story can go other way – but still it makes more sense to me than simply healing everybody from vampirism and returning to status-quo. But we will see~~

Thanks for reading and have a nice day💖 💖 💖

oooo, fellow doctor who fan? Do you have a favorite doctor?

-@walmart-the-official

Hi Walmart!

I'm not a Dr who fan yet, I've just somehow attracted them in my inbox and they tried to persuade me to watch the show.

I must say that I recently gave up, and started watching it, proudly starting at 9 (who is apparently, the tenth one but there's one who doesn't count?) like a good whovian (seriously guys, what's with you and numbers? If there's a first doc, you start at the first doc. That's logic.)

Anyways, only knowing the other doctors from Pinterest edits, I must say that for the moment, I like 4's scarf and 12's sunglasses.

And yours is? (You'll probably give a smarter answer)
