🌧️,🥥, &🍎!

thank you for the ask !!

🌧️ - who will be the first person you talk to in your dr that you’re excited to meet? how will the conversation go?

for this question i’ll answer it for my harry potter dr (where i’m gonna go after my waiting room), and the first person i’ll meet will be neville longbottom. the conversation will go well - albeit a little awkward to begin with cause of how shy he is.

🥥 - list three specific smells from your dr and explain them.

for this question and the next question i’m gonna answer it for my waiting room as that’s where i plan to shift to first.

the theee smells will be;

1 - cherries and leather, cause that’s what i scripted i naturally smell like (don’t judge me lol)

2 - old books. i have a large library that is filled with books that i love and want to read.

3 - roses, as i have a large rose garden in my yard.

🍎 - what are three songs that remind you of your dr and why?

i’m so glad i got asked this question, i love music and have a whole playlist of shifting songs.

1 - Charmed Life by Vixen (the song that i named my blog after) because it’s about a girl that is just living her best life - a charmed life. specifically the lyrics “She don’t care about tomorrow/‘Cause she was born with a silver spoon”. and my waiting room is where i can just vibe and have a great time

2 - Hard Times by KISS because it’s about how life used to be difficult and now things are great. “The hard times are dead and gone/ But the hard times have made me strong/And the hard times have made me see/That the hard times ain’t where I want to be” “I don’t wanna be there/Or even think back/I don’t wanna be there/‘Cause I’m on the right track” it’s very much how i’m gonna feel in my waiting room

3 - Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. it’s such a beautiful song and it’s about a welsh witch who enchants her lovers. the lyrics make me think of a beautiful and free woman, which is how i’ll feel in my waiting room.

“She rules her life like a bird in flight/And who will be her lover?”

and those lyrics specifically are perfect. in my waiting room i have complete control over everything going on, and im going to be writing scripts for other dr’s “who will be her lover?”

Me, on a new date: Hey, have you ever thought about the fact that there are plenty of planets where "the Doctor" doesn't refer to the Time Lord carrying around the sonic screwdriver, but rather to the young women who swing through their lives and ask their names and demand answers and sacrifice themselves, to the young men who start off unsure and second-fiddle but bring a kindness, a loyalty, with them and end up finding their own voices and their own purpose? Do you ever think about the role that myth plays in Doctor Who, how so many companion exits and finales take on the role of storytelling, about how companions become gods and immortals and walk the entire dystopian earth and wait two thousand years and be the cause of every Cyberman's single tear and wrench the Doctor back into the universe and carry the story off of screen with them, that they birth myths in their wake, that Doctor Who finales so often leave science-fiction behind them and become mythology itself, when these humans insert themselves into the mythology of the Doctor only to usurp him, that they make themselves the Bad Wolf and Orpheus and the Woman Who Walked the Earth and the Doctor Donna and the Last Centurion and the Girl Who Saw the Stars and most of all, they become the Doctor themself, that the Doctor's story goes nowhere if Rose doesn't save him on Satellite Five or Amy doesn't pull him back into existence or Martha doesn't walk the entire hell-earth to restore him or Clara doesn't make him forget her or Jack doesn't sacrifice himself to stop the Daleks or Bill doesn't carry him away from the Cybermen or Donna doesn't stop him from drowning himself with the Racnoss or Yaz doesn't pilot the TARDIS or River Song sacrifices herself at the library or Sarah Jane and Mickey don't help restore the earth back to its place in the sky and that the Doctor is only a myth with so many stories to their name because their companions make it so-

My date, sliding the breadsticks out of their purse back onto the table, hopelessly intrigued: Go on...

I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

DECODED

"Martin was the self-sacrificial type. He was the one who woke up every night just to pull Chris out of a nightmare. He was the one who tested the more questionable technology Aviva whipped up. He was the one who took on extra tasks when someone wasn’t feeling well. He was the one who would take the blame when the brothers landed themselves in trouble. He was the one who would carry the burdens of everyone else around him, while locking his own away in a dark corner, and never once complain.  And Chris knew for a fact, the only reason Martin didn’t trade places with him when Diego dragged him away and locked him within his own mind was because his brother couldn't work miracles. But Chris didn’t think he could share this burden with Martin. He decided he wouldn’t even give him the choice."

Reprogrammed part 2: Decoded's first chapter will be posted this Saturday.

Also special thank you to @nervousloveheart for suggesting the name "Decoded"! It's honestly stuck with me and I kinda just started subconsciously referring to the fic as that before I even officially chose the title lol

You could be something great, but something great is nothing new.
