If ever I'm in need of advice from a psychotic potato dwarf, you'll certainly be the first to know.

DOCTOR WHO The Name of the Doctor | 7.13

[vescana]

I love the Doctor, Missy, and Clara but they don't have shit on the Paternoster Gang like yeah they have two immortal fucks and one school teacher BUT do they have a reptilian detective, her cool ass wife who is literally a martial artist, and a grumpy ex-incel alien that they transformed into their bff and butler/nurse??? I think not !

going through some stuff so I drew strax being happy and cute, he’s such a good comfort character

[doctorwhoisadhd]

ohhhh my god all the things 12 says at the beginning of deep breath, to the other characters, are never about them. theyre all about him trying to establish his new identity

they are not figuring out who strax is here. one of the dwarves they dont name is doc. 12 is grasping for a list of traits connected to "doctor" here: doctor -> doc -> the other dwarves from snow white.

here they're not talking about clara's name. they're talking about their OWN name. names are not the doctor's area, meaning he's never had one before. they don't know if they'll pick one yet, and clara is an option they could potentially choose, an option they haven't ruled out yet. and the "it's a lottery" comment — sound familiar?

(from day of the doctor, just two episodes before)

Im banning myself from watching that scene where Strax hits Clara with the newspaper bc I can’t stop laughing for hours. I watched it like, 10 times now? and I cant stop shaking with laughter it’s so stupid but so hilarious

Clara trusting Strax to send her the newspaper in a normal way and he just… uses his full force to send it flying through the window

Deep breath is such a good episode but that scene is the one that I can think of every time I think about the episode (and I start laughing so much)

the thing is, right, that we never see the doctor join the ponds for Christmas dinner

he did join Rose, and I'm so glad about that

does no-one on the production team think that maybe we want to see them happy for once? I want to see the doctor having dinner with the Ponds, I want to see him spending that time with Jackson Lake (ooh, the doctor and people named after bodies of water / nature things), I want to see snippets of what he and River got up to on Darillium - what did they argue about that was so insulting to him that he had to go spend two weeks with otters? And I want to see the same with other characters - Rose and Jackie, Clara attempting more soufflés, Bill and her various dating attempts, Amy and Rory being Amy and Rory, Martha and Mickey just hanging out, Donna with her family, Vastra and Jenny and Strax (thank you so much @jennyandvastraflint for your fics about them, they really scratch my brain in the right way)

and yes I know this is part of what fanfic is for, and the audios are brilliant, but sometimes I just want to see them smiling, laughing, crying, whatever, but I feel like they're always in mortal danger on screen, I'd love if some time was devoted to softer, quieter moments too. hell, it might hurt more (in a good way) if characters had time to process and freak out over what's happened to them

pov: you finally post a sequel to your pre-Snowmen elevenmissy fic, and pair it with a confusingly busy sketchdump instead of rendering any particular scene, this time ^—^

Doctor: kisses his invisible wife

Strax, Jenny, Vastra:

[robiniswriting]

one of the top ten things I miss about classic who that I wanna see more of in new who is companions from different eras and planets. we got susan the time lord, vicki from the 25th century, jamie from 18th century, victoria from the 19th century, leela from an unnamed planet, romana the time lord, adric from alzarius in an alternate universe, nyssa from traken… I could literally do this all day.

the closest we get to that in new who is jack harkness, madame vastra, jenny, strax, and river song, and none of them are full-time regularly-traveling-in-the-tardis companions, with the exception of jack harkness for a bit in season one. the only full time alien companion in new who is nardole (who is incredibly underrated! and still misses out on a few of the adventures during his season).

the doctor is a time traveller who goes everywhere in the universe, let’s spice this up! give me some alien companions or companions from different times in earth’s history! I wanna see it all!

WYD WHEN MY GANG PULL UP

[casualscribbler]

strax is the big finish pookie of the month 🫶

[georgiacooked]

A quick return to my Doctor who bobble designs! Featuring the Paternoster Gang: Jenny, Madam Vastra and Strax.

I have such a soft spot for this little trio.

[riversofmars]
