#not stooky bill- lady bill

[mortallycolourfulfun]

As much as I enjoyed Clara, I think that the fact that we only got one season of Bill, the doctor (and nardole) together was criminal. They easily had my favourite dynamic since Donna and 10.

you know what makes the Toymaker's 'ge-sticking on dee hair meinself' scene extra horrifying? we've seen that he has the capability to transform people into toys with just a touch (e.g., turning those UNIT guards into balls)...which means he chooses to 'make' (i.e., hand-craft) his dolls piece by piece 👀 in The Giggle novelisation, he says of Donna: 'What lovely hair Donna Noble had. How I would enjoy stitching it into place on a doll's head and combing it nice and straight.' making living people into toys isn't just the unconscious act of a godlike entity with too much power: for the Toymaker it's a deliberate, sadistic act he takes pleasure in 😭 even scarier: although he wants to stitch Donna's hair to a doll's head, it's clear that he wants Donna's soul to be inside the body of that doll (as he mentioned putting her in a cabinet and inviting her out to play games). but in the episode, some poor woman's had her hair cut off and stitched onto Stooky Bill...so where's the rest of her? i think that the Toymaker doesn't just hand-craft his toys. i think he mixes and matches his toy parts from different people 😨

Spice up your life!!

Have the Toymaker, as the Knight of Cups, and happy 60th anniversary ! :D

(It might be my fav tarot card so far, just love the vibe)

Explanations under the cut! In broken english, but I don't think I can do worse that the figure of that card.

As all the knights so far, the Toymaker does not get to ride an actual horse- but hey! Who does not want a hobby Horsen to go clippety-clop down the Straße, ja?

The Knight of Cups, upright, is a card deeply linked with creative forces. While the Page of Cups is inspired by an imaginative idea, the Knight is motivated by action : you have dreamed about what you want to create, and you are making this dream into reality. Or perhaps reality is really just a dream to you; perhaps all dreams are real and reality is fake. It's all the same: you, a creative mind, have the ability to act, and make dreams... true. You follow your imagination, as wild as it can be, and are always happy to be exploring new passions and ideas- even discover a whole new universe, who knows! The Knight of Cups is the alliance of true imagination, and action. You, as the consultant, you who do not possess power beyond the realm of reality, have to see it as a reminder to act, or your dreams will remain just that- dreams, and not reality.

Reversed, the card tells you that maybe, just maybe, you're spending so much time dreaming, playing with your imagination, that you are starting to loose sight of what is real and possible (and, in a certain elemental, unstoppable force's case, any regards to the rules beyond those of the games. Was ist right und wrong, again?). The Knight encourages you to ground your ideas into reality, which might be helped if a certain someone decide to cast salt at the edge of the universe. The card can also indicate that you are sulky, moody, and are perhaps acting a bit like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Perhaps you don't like to loose. Well, that's alright, then! But you are allowing your emotions to get the better of you, when you are not getting your way.

Overall, you can be quite disconnected from reality. If you want to live the better version of yourself, remember that you need to keep your dreams in mind as much as you need to keep track of what's going on around in the world. You don't need to be so small, mate.

(and ffs please when David Tennant is asking you to go off to the stars with him you say yes, damnit)

And that's for today!! This card was an absolute delight to do. And, I mean, so was those three episodes, and so was the Toymaker. That dude has been dancing in my mind for almost a week, now, non stop. So dang excited for 15th run, he's already an absolute icon.

Also! With this card, I reach the sixth Doctor-Who-themed one. First one who is not the Doctor or my precious little 🦷 ! More to go. Many, many more to go. Bill Potts (not Stooky Bill, but Lady Bill) should be next...

[musicalcompanions]

He met eine friend called Amy Pond. Und he loved Amy Pond. Yes, he be liking the redheads. Und they went to and fro in time und space, but...

Und then he was meeting Clara. Ooo!

But then the Doctor met Bill. Not Stooky Bill, but lady Bill.

Well, that’s alright then!

- Doctor Who: The Giggle

[the-time-lord-oracle]

How a certain moment in The Giggle could go in the Themii Series:

"The show is just beginning." the Toymaker said. "Worldwide premiere. Donna Noble, this is for you. Let me tell you what happened when the Doctor and Gazelle, they were leaving you. They met eine friend called Amy Pond." He produced a puppet wearing the clothes Amy Pond had worn during her last adventure with the Time Lords.

"And Rory, her husband." Gazelle pointed out.

"Ja, und Rory Vliliams." the Toymaker corrected. "Und they went to and fro in time und space, but... Amy Pond and Rory Villiams were touched by der Weeping Angel, und they died!" He cut the Amy puppet's strings and it fell to the floor.

"They died of old age." the Doctor said.

"Well, that's alright, then!" the Toymaker snarked. He then revealed a puppet wearing the clothes Clara Oswald had worn during her last adventure with the Time Lords. "Und then they was meeting Clara. Ooo! But she was killed by a bird." He cut the Clara puppet's strings.

"She still survives in her last second of life." the Doctor pointed out.

"Well, that's alright, then!" the Toymaker snarked. "But then the Doctor und Gazelle met Bill." He produced a puppet wearing the clothes Bill Potts had worn during her last adventure with the Time Lords. "Not Stooky Bill, but lady Bill. But she was killed by the Cybermen." He cut the Bill puppet's strings.

"But her consciousness survives." the Doctor reminded.

"Oh, well, that's alright, then!" the Toymaker rolled his eyes.

"Ah, but Nardole, Graham, Ryan, Yaz and Dan are all very much alive and well." Gazelle pointed out.

The Toymaker ignored her. "Und then there came the Flux." He dangled down several models of planets on strings. "Oh, Donna Noble, the poor Doctor." He cut the planets' strings. "The Flux was killing everything."
