Sure babes. It’s the blaster that’s incredibly exciting here.

[doodles-dearest]

so howre we feeling about that novelisation

[off-traveling-in-the-stars]

i will never be over how the line in the rogue novelization isn't "wow" when he sees the Doctor's faces. he says "you're beautiful" WHAT IF I GO INSANE.

Thirteen days to go!

Just read the Rogue novelisation. Now I've got a canon divergent fic idea that I probably won't write because I'm lazy and long fics in english scare me. I've got the idea though.

Rogue novel spoilers!!!

My attempt at drawing Art rogue's beloved dead boyfriend

[clarasteam]

initial spoilery reflections on the Rogue novelisation; this is mostly scattered because my brain is still woolly with lack of sleep and the spike-and-drop of too much new stuff coming in for processing

SPOILERS under the cut:

missing pieces: these are so helpful! I'd been banging my head against bits of the scene in the TARDIS (why is the Doctor now in charge of the triform? is there some missing bit of negotiation/agreement about this that we just haven't seen? HOW DID YOU GET TO BE HERE? WHAT WAS THE MOMENT? ) and also the final showdown (how do the other two parts of the transport gate get into position?), and now I don't have to. there are explanations, they got left on the cutting-room floor, it happens.

fun extras: the lake scene, and yes, I can quite see how that is not happening on top of the strain of prolonged night shoots, never mind the other potential complications

cut lines that crop up elsewhere (e.g. the one from the Kate Herron interview in Collider about R's reaction to seeing all the Doctor's selves)

excellent 18th-century fiction nerd joke that made me cackle very happily

would you like a complicated winter to go with that hot summer, Mr H?

ART!

lots to work with/play with in the backstory, an ending that manages to be satisfying and still leaves enough room for fic to happen

for now*, an absolute commitment by the writers to who and what Rogue is, and to a queer romance with the Doctor that really is what it seems to be

[*because nothing is fully fixed and safe with an open/live canon]

still intrigued by the Yossarian as the name of Rogue's ship, and not sure what that signifies

looking forward to: all the cacti!

important. doctor and the paternoster gang played d&d together and strax was a bard

[theheroheart]

it was a very good song choice, because for over a month now, i ALSO just can't get Rogue out of my head
