Doctor who is so silly for a show where the death count is probably higher than star wars's

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

The tenth Doctor in journeys end (i think?) said a TARDIS is made to be piloted by 6 timelords, what roles would each have in the TARDIS?

What roles would six Time Lords have in piloting a TARDIS?

This is more speculative, based on the known features of a TARDIS.

Console Panels and Systems

A TARDIS console is split into six 'panels', with each panel operating a different aspect of the TARDIS' systems. When there are six pilots, each Time Lord would likely specialise in operating a specific panel and system. Although the console layout may change with each TARDIS's 'desktop theme,' the six fundamental panels remain the same.

[Image ID: On the left is a top-down diagram of the 9th and 10th Doctor's coral theme TARDIS, divided into six panel sections. Each section is labelled from 1-6 clockwise starting from the 12 o'clock position. On the right is a text list of the panels and their names: Panel 1: Mechanical and Master Control, Panel 2: Diagnostic and Internal Ship Systems, Panel 3: Fabrication and Information Systems, Panel 4: Navigation, Panel 5: Helm and Dematerialisation Systems, Panel 6: Communications and Exterior Monitor./.End ID]

See this page on the TARDIS Technical Index for more variations on desktop themes.

👨‍✈️ Roles and Responsibilities

Here's a breakdown of each potential role and their responsibilities:

🔧 Panel 1: Mechanical and Master Control

Role: Chief Engineer

Responsibilities: The chief engineer monitors the TARDIS's overall operation. They ensure that all the mechanical systems and master controls are working properly. If anything goes wrong, they step in and fix it.

🛠️ Panel 2: Diagnostic and Internal Ship Systems

Role: Systems Analyst

Responsibilities: This person is all about the internals. They monitor life support, environmental controls, and the internal power grid. Basically, they make sure everything inside the TARDIS is working as it should.

🖥️ Panel 3: Fabrication and Information Systems

Role: Data Specialist

Responsibilities: Managing the TARDIS’s databases and info systems, and handling any fabrication needs. Whether it’s creating new tools, repairing old ones, or just making sure the information systems are up-to-date, they’ve got it covered.

🧭 Panel 4: Navigation

Role: Navigator

Responsibilities: Plotting courses through time and space. The Navigator makes sure the TARDIS lands where it’s supposed to, calculating all those tricky temporal vectors and spatial positions. They work closely with the Pilot to make sure the journey is smooth and safe.

🚀 Panel 5: Helm and Dematerialisation Systems

Role: Pilot

Responsibilities: This is the person at the helm, controlling take-off, landing, and in-flight manoeuvres. They handle the dematerialisation and rematerialisation of the TARDIS, making sure it takes off and lands without a hitch.

📡 Panel 6: Communications and Exterior Monitor

Role: Communications Officer

Responsibilities: They handle all external communications and keep an eye on what’s going on outside, involving sending or receiving messages or watching out for any threats or anomalies.

🏫 So...

Potentially, each Time Lord on the TARDIS would have a specialised role associated with a specific panel. Ideally, they're probably all working together like a well-oiled machine. However, poor old solo pilots have to jump around like madmen trying to cover all the controls at once.

All right, all right. This is a bad idea! I've been trying not to cross these streams for a long time! But: fuck it. Who fics ahead!

--

Long story short: I used to write under another pen name. I stopped using it and deleted my old journal after some personal crap, which still makes me feel sad and stupid, and I'd wanted at the time to scrub the slate clean. Some of what's still kicking around under my old username, though, includes stories at whofic.com, which predates AO3 and still exists, doing its Whovian thing.

So after recent fandom flashbacks, I've been rereading my old stuff. Which has been...interesting!

Obligatory disclaimer: oh, god, do I want to edit everything. These date back as far as 2005, and so certain old habits linger, like the fact that I hadn't yet gotten over my torrid love affairs with the semicolon and the ellipsis. I want to fix the occasional dips into overwrought nonsense. I'm also looking at some of the more adult content and thinking, "Okay, that went from 0-60 a wee bit fast. Calm the hell down, self."

BUT: there's also stuff here I like! And about which I'm thinking "crap, I used to be good at this," because I can never leave myself alone!

Anyway, here's a few stories from the "this does not shame me" pile, plus notes:

Gen

Translations (Ten/Rose) Original description: There are some things the TARDIS doesn't translate, and some secrets of the Doctor's left unexplained. Rose is setting out to find out why. 

Probably the best thing of mine on this archive, and one of the most developed narratives. The sneaky, sneaky merchant, whose storyline never quite gets resolved (on purpose), was one of my better ideas. The other was Rose interpreting the TARDIS console's layout as looking like a Gallifreyan word. And, for that matter, Rose's name looking like an actual flower. Thank you, DW designers, for a completely impractical but extremely cool-looking written language. Also, the fact that the marketplace has thirteen floors, and they were on the tenth? Yeah, yeah, that was on the nose. I note that since then, the showrunners have thrown the Doctor's thirteen-regenerations limit out the window, for perfectly understandable reasons, but it was still kicking around at the time.

Roundabout (Nine/Rose) Original description: Time and possibilities keep turning. an exploration of the Doctor and Rose's relationship throughout the series. Spoilers for all [first season] episodes.

The other one that I'd file under "hey, you wrote a story! And it's not bad! Good job, self!" file. I really loved Nine and Rose, and I went to town with it here. I also got completely self-indulgent in a few places. As one does. The scene at the club is my favorite on that account. This quip of Jack's to the Doctor was, among other things, a sidelong nod to a few of my feelings about American polarization, and believe me, It's worse now: "It's Saturday night. We're in one of the last great cities of post-Dissolution America. And the most handsome man in the club has just bought you an Electric Comet. Do yourself a favor. Get drunk." Also, the reason Rose thinks she knows the music that's playing is that it's 110% a quote from a Billie Piper song. I don't think anybody ever noticed, but it's there.

Outgeniused (or: How to Get Fired From the Apple Store in Three Easy Steps) (Ten, OC) Original description: Kate Stowe's seen a lot of strange problems come up at the Genius Bar, but this one qualifies as the strangest she's seen yet. Presenting a bit of shameless insanity, featuring the Doctor, a race of aliens with quite inconvenient taste, and several unorthodox ways to break your iPod's warranty. (In other words: crackfic ahead!)

I really wasn't kidding about that last line. This one is unabashed ridiculousness, inspired by your author doing a seasonal stint in Apple retail that left a goddamn mark. Sadly, the Doctor never swung by my store. A lot of real-life tidbits did make their way into this story, though. And despite all odds, it's got a plot! Fun facts (for nerds): the product line was accurate as of the time I wrote this. The iPod shuffle disclaimer I was talking about? That was absolutely a thing. And my favorite line is still the Doctor apologizing for not getting AppleCare, because I had to pitch that to so many people. I have never once bought it for myself. No regrets. Don't tell Tim. Also, apparently the UK really has gone all-in on Black Friday since I wrote this. I have to ask: why? Why must you import the worst of our capitalistic excesses? You really didn't have to! Le sigh.

The Naughty Bits

A Matter of Timing (Ten/Rose) Original description: In matters of love, sex and the technicalities thereof, somebody better be thinking ahead. Rose/Ten, post-Journey's End.

Short, sweet, and silly. This one's about Rose and the clone of Ten off in their parallel universe, and exists for the sake of the conversation they're having, which is in part about the mechanics of that whole cloning thing. Although it's mostly about the sex. Which they are absolutely and enthusiastically having the whole damn time. ("Haven't ever seen that on a clock" is still my favorite line.)

Slightly Psychic Confessions (Nine/Rose/Jack) Original description: Getting caught with slightly psychic paper in one's hands can be a dangerous thing indeed.

Like it says on the tin. 90% of the reason this was written was so I could play with the props, and the dialogue (both spoken and psychically transcribed) is the part I most enjoy, although I've been told the rest of it's pretty okay too. ...yes, the rest of it is a threesome. Stop looking at me like that.

Selfish Dreams (Ten/Rose) Original description: Wherein solutions to lingering nightmares lead to a different sort of sleeplessness. Slightly spoilery through "The Satan Pit."

Sometimes I get creepy, even with characters I love and will ship forever. This one was mostly me thinking through some of the...potentially fraught...implications of Ten's psychic abilities, and is one of my "I guess I'm preoccupied with nightmares and dreams, because I'm gonna come back to that in a few different ways" stories in this archive. Anyway, none of what they're up to here is what I'd consider a good idea. At least Rose enjoyed herself, though.

Forgetting the Nightmare (Nine/Jack) Original description: In which neither the Doctor nor Jack can get any sleep, but for very different reasons.

As I was saying. This is about a plot point from the show I'd forgotten about since writing this: Jack's two years of missing memory. (So, yes, apparently mine's missing too. It's been A LONG TIME, okay?) He's having some issues coming to terms with that. So how do I decide to have them address it? Boinking on the TARDIS floor, apparently. ...ahem. Anyway, as is the case with a lot of the shit I wrote, it's a little emotionally messy. It also hints at a few things that are still very much up for interpretation. Less in need of puzzling out is that yes, the two lost years are represented by the two burned-out lights on the console they're trying to fix, because I am occasionally as subtle as a brick.

Beyond Locked Doors (Ten/Reinette) Original description: A glimpse into Reinette's memories and dreams throughout the events of "The Girl in the Fireplace."

Yeah, this is one of those that dips into being overwrought, and yes, my inner editor is bitching at me about sacrificing clarity in the process. But writing from Reinette's POV was a fun exercise. It's a very different flavor from everything else here. Also, just to get this stated, you still can't tell me that the "dance with me" line in the show and those two disappearing off screen together wasn't also Moffat being subtle as a brick with his metaphors, so I still feel justified in writing this one. The (implied) sex was canon and I will die on that hill.

So Brief, In Bloom (Ten/Reinette) Original description: Wherein the Doctor thinks of other ways this could have gone.

And now...things go south. I'm pretty sure I'm the only weirdo who cared about this story. It is, let's be fair, also weird. This is about Ten being haunted by the idea of what might have happened if he did get Reinette to come along with him, and what the ramifications of that change might be. Not overtly stated, but it's there, is that in this alternate timeline, Rose didn't take well to this idea, and eventually left. The result is some Seriously Conflicted Feelings. And some ill-advised attempts at banishing them. I once got a comment on my old journal from somebody who didn't understand the last line. it's oblique on purpose, and you're invited to imagine your own version, but what was going on in my head was that back in the actual timeline, Ten absolutely had his way with Rose against that very same wall to try to scrub the idea of the other timeline out of his head. Considering that the wayward strand of hair he found could have belonged to either her or Reinette, though? It...didn't exactly help.

A Laugh Like Thunder (The Master/Lucy) Original description: The Master and Lucy on the eve of destruction, thinking of what's to come. (Spoilers through "The Sound of Drums.")

I'm including this here solely because I'd forgotten about it until I trawled back through my archive, and was thus smacked upside the head with the facts that A: it existed at all, B: this thing went places, and C: I started it off with, "On the eve of destruction, the Prime Minister tied his wife to the bedposts and began to think of another man." Go off, self.

A few months ago, fellow fandom dweller and fic writer @silvernightwalker decided to organize a fan book project with the hopes of giving it to DT at a local con, but due to certain circumstances, the panel and meetup got canceled. But that project was still such a blast to contribute in, heck I even got the chance to help make a simple portrait artwork for the cover!

(This is a rather long post so I’ll cut it here, but the full version contains quick rundown of my process and trials, as well as full credits for those who helped make this thing real!)

So what exactly did we do? Well a portrait is simple enough, seeing the tight deadline we had if we wanted the book to arrive in time for the con. Since the book itself contains so much wonderful art by so many artists, having something that shows many illustrated variations of the actor himself made sense, and again seeing as we were a couple of artists working on this assured we wouldn’t surpass the deadline. So after a bit of rummaging in the GO Reference Library we managed to Frankenstein an image that fitted our theme and then we could actually start making our portraits.

I started by thinking I should do a normal digital painting, but seeing how most of our team was doing that, I thought, "Why not do it traditionally instead? It's been a while since I've painted with acrylics."

I immediately regretted that, as I there was only a few days left and I hadn't even started my final submission. So plan C it was.

Finally seeing as everyone was drawing the reference picture in their unique style, I decide I would invoke my learnings from doing way too many Professor Layton crossover art and draw DT in a fun stylized way, with nice chunky lineart and include nods to some of his roles that really stuck with me (A.J. Crowley, the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctor and a seemingly well hidden Scrooge McDuck from Ducktails, since that's probably the first role of his I've got to see in action). And then I let the colours really take the show by at first limiting my palette to then painting it a little in greyscale.

(Here’s what the lineart, and rough sketch and colour composition look like!)

And the taa-da! The end results!

Go check out the other artist who worked on the cover and their wonderful rendition of DT!

And make sure to check out our fantastic event organizers, we wouldn’t be able to do all of this without them!

(Also for those who are eagle eyed, yes I did only just refer to David Tennant as DT in the whole post and yes that is because I botched his last name in the book, I’m an artist not a writer)

Addn. Info!

A type-65 TARDIS, this ship (henceforth referred to as “Red”) was found abandoned “for several centuries” by Liz Davis, The Master, and The Tenth Doctor. Disguised as a run-down toolshed-equivalent, Red unlocked itself as the trio attempted to hide in it, sensing a potential pilot. Upon discovery and after the immediate emergency had passed, the Tenth Doctor had intended for Red to be moved to a more secure location and left behind. The Master had other ideas however, claiming it for himself and escaping his imprisonment in the Doctor’s TARDIS — taking Liz as a hostage as he left.

It’s unknown as to how or why Red was abandoned, though The Master comments on it having a non-standard layout despite there being very little trace of the former pilot, indicating “potential defects.”

Red’s external appearance takes the form of an ‘out of order’ red telephone box with the windows papered over regardless of setting, despite no apparent flaw in it’s chameleon circuit. This is later revealed to be because of it’s telepathic connection to Liz as a pilot, having latched on to her experience with the Doctor’s TARDIS and subsequent affection for the stuck police box image, and attempting to replicate the experience. The stark willingness to bend to its pilot that causes this, along with the “very quick” change in internal layout to suit Liz and the Master’s tastes, also results in flying behavior described several times as “obedient to a fault” — Red proving itself unwilling to contradict its pilot by changing course or leaving where it was landed on its own to the point of sustaining damage.

The Doctor, much more used to his own temperamental TARDIS, chastises Red for this after being forced to fly it, insisting that it deserves better treatment. However, Red’s unwavering loyalty is undoubtedly in part why the Master grows a begrudging soft spot for the ship, repeatedly going back to it even when not strictly necessary (though Lizzie’s the loud objection to the change a new TARDIS would bring about probably helped).

Interface appearance: Delgado!Master — taken as it’s form automatically when talking to Liz, who associated the face with it because of the portrait in the entrance, and accepted by the Master when attempts at another appearance tailored to him resulted in Liz, Lucy Saxon, Jo Grant, and various incarnations of the Doctor.

[lurking-latinist]

some thoughts on time lord age.

this is just the general layout I use in my head, I make no claims that it’s particularly canon.

so, fact: a time lord who manages not to get poisoned or shot or dropped off of high buildings can live over 1000 years in the same incarnation. we know this from 11. 11 was really old when he died so let’s round down to a solid 1000 yrs/incarnation. meaning an ordinary time lord who has 13 incarnations and dies of old age (or age-related diseases or ‘I’m tired of my arthritis I’m going to schedule a regeneration’) can live 13,000 years.

(I am assuming that translation convention converts all mentions of ‘years’ we hear into earth years, or at least as many as is possible and consistent, because otherwise there’s just no telling anything. or at least something vaguely near earth years. I am also assuming that an incarnation, at least after the first regeneration, can start at any apparent age but will visibly age in some ways as time goes on, because that just makes sense to me.)

but aurelia! you say. the incarnations can’t all live 1000 years. the First Doctor died of old age and was definitely nowhere near 1000. (according to the wiki he was 450. I am not in general relying on the wiki for these thoughts, but there you go.)

true! one possibility is that the first body is more like that of a pre-rassilon gallifreyan, including a shorter lifespan of only a few centuries (and only one heart), and the 1000 years thing applies only once you’ve regenerated for the first time. this works fine. (although even under this hypothesis, they probably have lifespans of at least several centuries, because Romana I is over 100 and shows no visible signs of aging.)

but I also have a theory about the first doctor which is that he has a heart disease. this is why Ian only hears one heart in Edge of Destruction--not that the doctor only has one, but that he only has one working and making recognizable heart-like noises. in real life William Hartnell played older than he was partly because his poor health made him fit ‘old man’ roles, and I think that also fits well with the character now that we know he is supposed to be young for his species. so, one is: -a decent way through his first incarnation, old enough to have done natural aging to the extent we see (which is fashionable on Gallifrey anyway). -but not old enough that he should ordinarily be having to think about regenerating yet. -but he is (a) suffering from a heart condition (which is, btw, probably not super fun on Gallifrey given the low-key eugenicist tendencies!) and (b) specifically, running around the universe rather than staying at home seeing his cardiologist regularly. Which, in short, is why he collapses at 450 in The Tenth Planet.

So back to what I was saying, which is that the expected total lifespan of a Time Lord is about 13,000 years.

Now Six is pushing halfway through his regenerations, and he’s barely 900. His non-renegade agemates back on Gallifrey are thinking about their first regenerations, and he’s died five times already. That’s got to have an impact--especially when humans are being awed at how old he is. No wonder he has such a midlife crisis.

Seven, at 953, has used up half his regenerations. that’s an average of 136 years per body. if you follow the general implication that he went renegade at about 200ish, then that’s an average of about 100 years/body as a renegade. at this rate--and he doesn’t see any reason to think the rate will change; it’s not as if he’s going to change his lifestyle--he can expect to live to about 1650. By the standards of people who can live over ten thousand years, that’s dying young.

Tragically young, I would say, but who’s going to see it as a tragedy? They’ll shake their heads and say, what a shame, but of course, he was a renegade. It’s like hearing that a rockstar has died young: it’s more a bit of gossip than a surprise, for most people.

I don’t think the Doctor thinks about that a lot; I think he spends enough time with humans and other short-lived species to think of himself as already being very old, and Seven at least has enough faith in his own luck to expect that something will turn up. (It’s a different question with Six, who has no faith in his own luck whatsoever; maybe I’ll write a fic about that.)

So that’s what I think about Time Lord ages.

(I do also think he starts over counting at Eight’s regeneration and possibly again at the Time War, but that’s a different essay.)
