#ms. frizzle is a timelord

[multyfangirl16]

A tictok video reminded of this and then turned it around.

Dan McCurdy was explaining in his video that Doctor Who follows the same plot style as Mary Poppins

It was brilliant in how he explained it, but I like the way most put it as: Mary Poppins is a timelord, but older than the Doctor. In the comments people were insisting that Ms Frizzle is a timelord as well and I'm in the group that insists that Nanny McFee is also one.

1 comment caught my eye , it was insisting that Mary and Frizzle are the Doctor's aunts.

So I put it to you: Marry Poppins, ms Frizzle and Nanny McFee are the Doctor's aunts and part of the reason why the Doctor is so powerful and why he has an interest in the Earth.

ASH KETCHUM IS A TIMELORD.

okok i know this is a theory but! stay with me here.

he:

never seems to age ever

has died a bunch of times and seemingly always immediately starts glowing and comes back to life

has had like a bajillion companions. [but ik thats not a timelord specific thing more of a doctor thing but i care not its a similarity]

it would be funny for him to be a timelord [we all know about nanny mcphee and ms frizzle and marry poppins, i think it would be hilarious if ash joined them. consider the bit please]

Bus Down, Tatiana by Imperial-Radiance

Have yourselves a (bonus) fan-art (?) post because this was mad fun to make and I'm mad trash. While an idea like this has hovered in my head for years, I blame BigJigglyPanda for putting my whole focus on this for the last week. I envision that the Bus works like the Tardis, much bigger on the inside. We STAN Valerie Felicity Frizzle, M.S., Ed.D., Ph.D. in this house. Tati, Cody, and their team don't (yet) exist in the MSB lore, but the Frizzles do canonically! (I wanted my prompt to sound as reasonable as possible. A full version of this is something I'd probably commission someone to do, truly. It wouldn't have to be trash, just concrete.)

A tiny tale is told below, followed by links to resources for this picture!

Valerie retired to get a few degrees. Fiona, her sister, took her place. Dottie, their niece from their brother John, followed in their footsteps... and eventually had a daughter that did the same.

***

Enter Tati, a research scientist with her team, all friendly, some more than others. One of whom, Cody, had been off for a hot minute, deviating from his usual self. He gave no helpful response whenever anyone asks about his well-being, faults coming to a head one day, pressing him to leave abruptly, and then staying away. Studies on the line from his unforeseen absence, the whole team, from heads to interns, was thrown out of whack. Tati, feeling his exit was from more than just burnout, getting that vaguely confirmed from their facility’s H.R., and quite a bit closer to Cody in the group than everyone else, decided she needs to take his struggles into her own hands. However, which path to take to do so was a more challenging decision to make, so she put out an S.O.S. to the smartest people she knew.

With known intentions to return, she made a dash out of her own to get her help, catching a familiarized colleague on her way out chortling, “Say ‘Hey’ to the Prof. for me.”

Said “Hey” to the Prof. she did as Tati, for once, had a topic to raise during the family video chat, explaining her predicament and all its laced emotions. Her grandfather John, even before suggestions were made, was disapproving but not out of malice. Sharing a man’s lens, he felt this wasn’t her fight to fight. Meanwhile, his daughter and Tati’s mother, Dottie, agreed somewhat with a bright smile, but rebelling against the call’s sole man, she thought her little firecracker should still attempt to find the source concern. Dottie’s aunt Fiona and her shining necklace added to the idea, throwing out that she could get an inside look if she tried or at least a bird- or worm’ s-eye-view as it helped her young students learn. To his dismay, knowing he was being ignored and seeing a glow assembling in Tati’s eyes and her ring, John tossed the mic to the matriarch of the family, the busiest bee of them all with alphabets and accolades attached to name to prove it.

Valerie, breaking from her own lab notes, looked to her chameleon – the reptile enamored by the glow in her caretaker’s earrings – bounced in her chair. Her hereditary coils did the same on her head, and she said with a grin, “Take chances, make mistakes, and follow your heart!”

***

Cody had been curling in his comforter in his lonesome, counting all the concerns skittering in his head as he sipped a cup of tea, when he suddenly encountered an uninvited guest. A bearded dragon of indiscernible sex climbed up on his lap, thrusting, of all things, a tablet into his face. The familiar lizard and the even more recognizable, bare torso of its caretaker on the screen raised an eyebrow. Conversations of varying comfort were had in a call. Wishes of support from his laboratorial familiars were sent his way with it. Streams of previously swallowed tea and blushes ran out his face, realizing that all of the former was dangerously close to his being, each set further into danger by the latter and his natural, sedentary actions. Cody caught and held a gulp in his throat, not wanting to disrupt the specks with pulses exploring in his drink or unintentionally send them down his gullet. Yet he felt terror and saw a flinch of some in Tati as the flow in the scarlet tunnel where she and her second headquarters of a Bus floated began to slow. ~end prompt~

Timelord Ms. Frizzle (aka The Frizz) is ready for SDCC! She is 100% complete and ready to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!!

[nightmare-grass]

Just making sure...

We’re all in agreement that Willy Wonka is a Slytherin wizard, Mary Poppins is a Hufflepuff witch, Ms. Frizzle is a witch and was either a student of Hogwarts (Ravenclaw) or Ilvermorny (Horned Serpent/Thunderbird), and James Bond is a Time Lord, correct?

[hoshihiime]

Thinkin' about

Watching Mary Poppins with Spencer

Thinkin about dressing up as Mary and Bert for Halloween with your kids and running around. Watching him try and click his heels together and smudge black makeup soot on his face.

Imagine telling him the 'Mary Poppins and Ms. Frizzle are timelords' theory

IDK THIS HAS BEEN PLAGUEING ME FOR A WHILE NOW

[shenanigans-and-imagines]

Top 5 favorite headcannons? Any series, any character, what just rubs you the right way or lights your heart up.

Honestly, these are all going to be weird.  Basically none of these are stuff that enhances the story, they just make me laugh.

In no particular order:

Based on this post: Luke actually being able to do really good voices and using it to impersonate imperials over the comms to confuse the enemy.

Based on this post: Crowley became an actor during Shakespeare’s day and had an affair with the bard.  That is why so many of Shakespeare’s characters are named Antonio (Anthony Crowley).  It is also why Aziraphale doesn’t have any Shakespeare in his shop.

Based on this post: Starfleet’s Medical devision has a version of the Kobayashi Maru. You’re left in a room containing just a random hypospray, told its use has the potential to stop someone’s suffering but it’s never been tried before, and if you inject it into yourself to see what it does, you’re officially crazy enough to lead a department.

Doctor McCoy has the fasted record of injecting himself.

Based on this post: The first Vulcan to come into contact with humans was down to fuuuuuuuuck.

And let’s end of a classic: Ms. Frizzle is a Timelord

I think my brain just died

The Evidence:

The Magic School Bus can time travel

When asked, Ms. Frizzle denies that she “knows everything”

However, Ms. Frizzle always knows what her students are up to, knows the answer to every question they ask her, and never shows fear even when in extreme mortal peril, as if she’s experienced this all before

Although we know she was in a rock band called the Frizzlettes and was a Shakespearean actress, Ms. Frizzle’s childhood remains mysterious

Ms. Frizzle is EXACTLY the sort of person to travel back in time to teach herself, and is in fact the most likely fictional character to do so

Nobody is ever named “Valerie Frizzle” at birth

Ms. Frizzle dresses queerly and laughs at her own bad jokes

A lot of the series is about Arnold learning to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy - that phrase is more or less targeted at him as a student

Ms. Frizzle looks a lot like a grown-up Arnold

Umbrella Academy Saturday Morning Cartoons

I know that Reginald Hargreeves probably didn’t let the kids watch much television growing up, but these are the Saturday morning cartoons I think each member of the Umbrella Academy would have liked. None of the kids would agree and they’d definitely fight over the remote. 

Allison: The Power Puff Girls (Alison would love the badass yet super adorable power puff girls! She’d probably think of herself as an honorary power puff girl). Her favorite character is 100% Blossom. Klaus loves this show too, but it’s not his favorite).  

Diego: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (This was Diego’s show growing up! He loved the mutant turtle vigilantes. They still inspire him in his adult life. A perfect Saturday Morning would be watching TMNT and eating cold, leftover pizza. Raphael was his favorite!).

Klaus: Animaniacs (Klaus laughed so much watching this! He watched the movie Wakko’s Wish so many times. He wished his siblings were as fun as the Warner siblings!! He also loved looney tunes. He developed his sense of comedy from his early cartoon days).

Ben: Hey Arnold (Ben loved the normal yet still VERY entertaining life of Arnold. A lot of his supportive, caring personality was inspired by the football head himself. He also secretly had fantasies of finding his biological parents like Arnold. Meanwhile, Alison LOVED the Helga plot. Her first OTP!)

Luther: Captain Planet (He loved Captain Planet and would belt out the theme song “We're the Planeteers, you can be one too!” He was like “YEAH I’m a planeteer!” He would be Captain Planet when all the kids played Planeteers but since they’re only six characters Vanya would always be left out)

Five: Magic School Bus (This was his Doctor Who as a kid! Ms. Frizzle was the Doctor and the magic school bus was the Tardis. He also loved learning new things so that was a big plus! He now hardcore believes the theories that Ms. Frizzle is a timelord).

Vanya: As Told by Ginger (She wanted to be Ginger who was ordinary, but was adored by everyone anyway. She started writing her thoughts like Ginger and knew that one day she’d create a book of her life too. Extra-Ordinary: My Life as Number Seven started in scribbles on napkins and construction paper).

The Magic School Bus Rides Again & Doctor Who...

No Bullshit, I'm convinced Ms. Frizzle is a Timelord now.

Between the new younger sister of the old series' Ms. Frizzle, "Fiona Felicity Frizzle" taking over her class because "Valerie Felicity Frizzle" is now a Professor and PhD. teaching at a university.

They're "obviously" REGENERATIONS!!

THEY REALLY ARE TIME LORDS!

Arnold even suffers from shock of the new Friz. Like most companions of The Doctor!

And what else does Ms. Frizzle do in the first episode? Time Travels into a vortex with Clocks in it!

Similar to the 12th Doctor's opening intro.

Then while in the future she has an unspoken acknowledgement and winks at another future 3rd Ms. Frizzle with another unique hairstyle!

Both shows' have some clever allusions to Doctor Who that I only realized AFTER I'd grown up.

[jesterbells]

yeah that fits very well with the explanation among some of my friends that Ms Frizzle is in fact a Timelord. The magic school bus is a TARDIS.

Old theory I never posted here:

So my kids were watching the Magic School Bus. It happened to be the Inside Ralphie episode, and I noticed something a bit odd. Anyone who's watched that show knows that Ms Frizzle always dressed to match her field trip. And at the beginning of the episode, she is dressed just how you would expect for a day that they would be studying how the human body fights infection... except she was dressed that way *before* she got the call that Ralphie was sick! Which means she had to have known in advance that he was sick.

It reminded me of one of the books I read where she goes on vacation to Egypt, and hijacks the tour after the tour guide mysteriously and suddenly contracts laryngitis. She then proceeds to take the entire plane of tourists back in time.

All this makes it look suspiciously like she can make people get sick. And that means that she most likely made Ralphie sick for the purpose of the field trip.

Ms. Frizzle at Gallifrey One!

I had -so- much fun at Gally and Me. Frizzle was very well received. I had a little alien Liz to run around with the the majority of the day while I had very large ‘ Jackson's Chameleon’ for the skit in the Masquerade. I ended up with an honorable mention which was pretty awesome!

(and yes, Alien Liz was actually a Nether Fairy Dragon who doubled as my ‘Chameleon circuit’ *snickers*)

[malisvitterfolk]

Finally working on costumes again! This time it is for Gallifrey One. I’ve always said Ms. Frizzle is a TimeLord. This is her Gallifreyan attire! I fell in love with the fabric and couldn’t resist.

[morsobaby]

So was i the only one who thought this was going to be "Ms. Frizzle is a timelord"? Just me?
