Favorite TGWD Bonus Track

Which of The Good Witch Deluxe bonus tracks is your favorite? I like The Last One the best because of how good it is at being a closing track (just like History of Man ofc) but all of them are great.

[dimsilver]

and I looked, and behold there was a pale horse, and he who sat on him was just some guy

[vacantgodling]

may i..... learn more about graves.....

ah yes, GRAVES, resident cowboy that would be hot if he wasn't so fucking. like that.

jkjk he's hot. but as per this post in my trifecta of men with problems, he's just a hot mess of a person.

tl;dr the graves we dug (itself) is about our titular graves digging a deeper and deeper hole of self pity and misery, which is extrapolated when his best friend, almost lover, and former partner in crime dove returns from the dead. literally. kinda. its complicated.

the reason graves is so fucked up about it is because he (VERY unintentionally) was the cause of dove's death--there was a mission gone horribly wrong, he watched dove die, and pretty much said fuck off i don't deserve to live and has been trying to drink himself into a coma since then.

unfortunately for him, dove is very much still alive, and has now come to find him because (1) their former organization is having him hunted down (2) they have unfinished business (the mission that went awry and resulted in dove's "death" anyway) and (3) dove is royally PISSED OFF at graves for just. existing at this point. far cry from how he normally was before everything happened; and the more graves thinks he deserves it and its his fault, the more pissed off dove becomes about it.

see, to graves, dove was his savior, his angel, he was everything good in the world while he (graves) was everything shitty. and dove is pissed because he's in love with graves (obviously), never wanted him to fall into this deep ass depression like this because he feels like he owes it to dove to be miserable for the rest of his life, and certainly thought that the two of them saw each other as equals. dove really valued the idea that graves was the only one who could see the Real Him (esp bc dove has powers of suggestion but he NEVER used them on graves ever not only because he didn't have to but because he didn't want to) so the fact that he has confirmation that graves kinda... didn't. pisses him off. but he still loves him. so he's hot and cold and graves just hates himself even more PFF.

so basically their story revolves around finishing their final mission so they can be "free" from their organization for good, outrun tomb who has been hunting graves down for some time now (though because he and graves are "friends" kinda.... he's been very leisurely about it. not that graves has been making it easy because his own powers--shadow related that allow him to not make a sound and walk through walls are a bit of a challenge, but tomb knows graves well enough that if he wanted to catch him, he could. but he Kind Of doesn't), and salvage whatever broken pieces are left of their relationship.

but graves is stubborn as fuck and dove is pissy and shit keeps happening so its just a MESS.

so tl;dr make brokeback mountain a cyberwestern and Worse

[mintedwitcher]

I rewatched The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived, and... this might get me garrotted on here but uhh. Surely Maisie Williams could've put some effort into that performance, right? Literally the only scene where she's really Acting on a level to match Coleman and Capaldi is when she's threatening the Mire. The rest of the time it's just so. Wooden. (I will wholly admit that she is much better in Face The Raven and Hell Bent, I'm talking specifically about her first two episodes.)

(And yes maybe there's something to be said there about potential autistic coding etc with her being "the weird one" but like. Personally I think it was just a bad casting choice.)

So in that vein, do y'all have fancasts for Ashildr/Lady Me, and who are they?

[tcthinecwnself-a]

Imma be real with y’all. Making a “NPMD but it’s my RPC” is gonna be tough because it was not??? That good???

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?

ROUND 2 MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang

Synopsis

A Van Gogh painting ferried across thousands of years offering a terrifying prophecy, a message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe and a love that lasts a thousand years: in 102 AD England, Romans receive a surprise visit from Cleopatra. Nearby, Stonehenge hides a legendary prison-box. As it slowly unlocks from the inside, terrible forces gather in the heavens. The fates are closing around the TARDIS. The Pandorica, which contains the most dangerous threat in the Universe, is opening. Only one thing is certain: "The Pandorica will open... Silence will fall".

Propaganda no propaganda submitted

The Girl Who Died

Synopsis

After an adventure and a half in space, the Doctor and Clara are kidnapped by 9th-century Vikings. However, to make matters worse, hostile aliens have also arrived in the vikings' village; they are provoked into declaring war on the village by a stubborn girl.

By the end of the adventure, the Doctor will learn where it was that he saw his own face before, and the reason why he chose it.

Little remake of TGWD whouffaldi dance 🥰🤍✨

thoughts on snow angel? and tgwd :)

SNOW ANGEL <3 I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE snow angel so much the wedding song and tummy hurts are my favourites i think

assuming that stands for the good witch deluxe if it doesn’t sorryyyy but also literal perfection every single deluxe track is a masterpiece

[myfandomrambles]

I would add saving Gallifrey & Trenzalor actually matter here. DOTD he realizes he can save people if he lets Clara's sad eyes and determination drive him. He helps save the zygons he saves all the children on galifrey.

And trenzalor is the highest most not running anymore. He stays for hundreds of years to protect the town because they are worth it. He sends the TARDIS away so he can't leave. Because he cares he's stopped running as much as he did because these people deserve it.

I think there is obviously the Donna connection but I think not remembering one of his longest times staying still doesn't give 11 or 12 their due. The face reminds him to try and save people yes, we know that from TGWD but 11 did stay and save people as 11 he wouldn't have known to remind himself of his promise if 11 hadn't remembered "never cruel never cowardly never give up never give in" when he died.

My dad sends me. Doctor Who character analysis sometimes and here's his latest:

11, more than any other Doctor, is the reason that River says, "Never let the Doctor see you get older." Rose, Martha, Amelia, Clara, Billie, Ryan, and Yaz are all young, all full of a sense of wonder for the things that the Doctor shows them. Donna is an adult. She first decided to become a companion because she was in a rut and wanted to run away from that. So 10 thought she would be like the the others. On their first trip, 9 showed Rose the end of the Earth. When she assumes that he is going to save the Earth, he corrected her. Stating that this is an unchangeable event. From the beginning, he trains her not to question his judgement on what he says cannot be changed. Donna was too old to fall for that and pushes back constantly. Okay, so you can't save everyone in Pompeii, then just save one person. It isn't an all or nothing proposition. He learned from that and tried to do better. Until he got too arrogant and tried to save someone he really should have let die. But then he became 11, the Doctor who forgets. The one who keeps running away more than any other. 200 years running away from Lake Silence. Years in a cloud over Victorian London. Years spent in a monastary.

If he can't save everyone, then fine. He won't save anyone.

Then he became 12, with a face to remind him of Donna's lesson.

New Maisie Fan

Guys, my friend said she loved TGWD! Her favorite song is You're Just a Boy and she said she wants to listen to more! I'm so glad I finally have someone in my personal life to talk about Maisie with. All of my other friends don't like her. Maisie has a new fan!

[vacantgodling]

I figured I should send you an ask instead of spamming your notifications: I saw the word "cyberwestern" and almost lost my entire mind. Graves and Dove are so interesting. Can I get an infodump on the project? What inspired it and how it's coming along, etc. The more details you can give on What Their Fucking Problem Is, the better. Thank you :>

honestly i am totally down with notif spam so if you still want to after i talk your ear off, HAVE AT IT :DD

so i did kinda do a mini info dump centering around graves like 20 minutes ago -> here but i figure a more... organized answer should be in order!

inspiration

what inspired the graves we dug is currently hard for me to remember. i think i mainly just wanted cowboy ocs? and one of my friends (@/nonsensical-pendulum) has an oc named 'graves' and the name sort of got stuck in my head because i thought it was Cool. and then, for once (this is a rarity for me) the title came pretty quickly after the graves we dug. and i didn't know what it was about for a bit, just that there were cowboys, a mc named graves, and they were digging holes... apparently. and then slowly from there things started to fall into place. unlike a lot of my other wips i feel like tgwd has a bit of a hard to pinpoint starting point, but i also think that's bc a lot of the stuff i had relating to its origins began on the blog i used to have in 2021, but then i deleted it entirely so all of that is lost now LOL

when it came to making it a cyberwestern itself, honestly i saw some cyberwestern style art with cowboys in citypop color schemes and i was like YEAHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH. so i thought it'd be cool to go cyber instead of a traditional western lol.

how its going

so i'mma be straight up, tgwd is on my secondary wips bracket. if you look at my big ol wip list here it kinda breaks it all down, but those on my secondary list are ones where i enjoy working on them but they just don't have the same level of brainrot status as those at the top of my mind--namely paramour and btaf have taken those spots in the past couple of years. so usually how it goes with any of my secondary wips is i'll just be vibing, suddenly think about an aspect of it, think about it for a bit and then perhaps have a bit of a frenzy where i build on it, and then i end up deflecting back to my major ideals lol. so rn (at least for the past hour) i've been thinking about tgwd and getting asks is kinda an excuse to keep focus and work on it. i'll probably end up defecting back to my usual haunts in a few days.

THIS BEING SAID i have written some things for it which i shall get into momentarily

but what's going on?

so basically here's a mini timeline/play by play of what's happening that leads up to the beginning of the wip

firstly, the land is kind of a perpetual night; the sun on this world (haven't decided if its another planet or smthn yet) is pretty dim and so cities and fluorescent lights are the main lightsources of the world. there is also an 'artificial moon' but tbh idk what that means rn.

GRAVES in his early 20s leaves the ranch where he grew up to make a life for himself in the closest city called Rapture. Rapture is a city of glitz and glamor, run by crime lords and greed. he ends up entering "the organization" (it doesn't have a name yet) as an armed hire and gets hired out on different hits by different vendors to do their bidding (which is usually taking out their grudges on other crime lords. the organization has a strict neutrality policy that most everyone respects--if you have enough money for a hit, it'll be done, or you better hire some better guards).

to aid in the ever growing violence in the city, somehow someway the organization develops a special ops unit for their largest jobs, which includes an injection of a serum which manifests certain abilities in their best agents. graves, and his new acquaintance TOMB become some of the first to experience the serum, and this ends with graves gaining a black glow around his feet and an ability to walk silently and through solid objects, and tomb gaining an ability where his mouth glows orange (i haven't decided what it is, but i do know unlike graves or dove, he can't turn his ability off).

the two do solo jobs for awhile, until the organization decides that they need mentors to train new recruits that use the serum and this is how graves ends up meeting DOVE--a former opera star who's ability glows green centered around his eyes. they sort of hit it off immediately, and though tomb warns graves about getting too attached but graves can't really help it. he and dove get. attached.

a few years like this go by, and then the organization gets a huge hit--to take place at one of the biggest centers of crime, a club modeled like an old state building called The Rome, towards the epicenter of Rapture. the organization puts its best agents: graves and tomb, and their two rapidly trustworthy mentees: dove and dawn (tomb's mentee). the situation quickly goes south when their plot for assassination is discovered, and in an effort to save the mission, graves makes well--a grave mistake, and ends up trying to take down the target. unfortunately, the shot misses and ends up hitting dove instead. an explosion goes off afterward, and tomb and graves barely escape with their lives. dawn and dove are presumed dead.

while tomb compartmentalizes and continues on with his work, graves breaks down. and in his grief, he decides to defect from the organization without getting permission first. (after the mission at the rome, graves and dove did get permission to retire, but since the job wasn't done they aren't allowed to leave) since he was also pretty high up, he also has trade secrets and they couldn't just let him go and be a loose canon like that. its easier that if he's not going to comply, that he be dead--and so they send the one person who can catch him after him: tomb. tomb's taking his time, but he's also doing what has to be done.

the whole thing however turns upside down again when dove comes "back" from the grave. he's alive! very much not dead! and from what i'm comfortable sharing at the moment is yes, he was harmed by what happened but he's still very much alive and is ready to make good on their promise: to retire. and if he has to drag graves into making it happen then so be it.

what's written thus far

the official chapter 1 -> the start of the rapture

beginning of chapter 2 -> you're supposed to be dead

i want what you want (or they try talking about it, doesn't work, sleep together to create more problems instead)

do you trust me? (or, dove lets out some of his aggression at a very kicked puppy graves LMAO)

and yeah -- i think that's the most info i got right now! there's a lot of stuff i got to figure out an outline as well. BUT yeah i hope this was helpful :3c

[companion-showdown]

#look i know rosita already has her own sort of version of the doctor and i wouldn’t want to take her away from that#but like. me would be a terrible companion and the doctor full well knows it#it’d be a total shitshow and not in the fun way#the ONLY scenario in which i could see that working out is if the doctor had taken her with him at the end of TGWD#which i don’t think either of them would’ve wanted bc that village and her family were everything to her#the doctor himself said it best: a major part of why he needs his human companions is that their mortality grounds him#what i do think would’ve been cool is if me had gotten to have adventures with human companions of her own#or even if she’d teamed up with jack harkness for a few hundred years. imagine the chaos those two could’ve gotten up to together#anyway vote rosita

alright DAY TWO

under the cut bc i made it through 6 episodes today

the pandorica opens

circa 102

tbh i don’t remember what happens so i just put it here and said sure

also this is the first multiparter i had to split (many stayed together but some were split thanks moff)

RIVER 

i forgot that 11′s era was just like take a shot every time the doc or a companion die lol

11 is peak Dumbass Asshole here and i say that with all the love in my heart

also listen every doc has their own level of them being singled out as special but 11 is called Special in every other ep so just can we stop complaining about 13 and the timeless child yet

smith you’re a talented little shit i probably haven’t said that before but you are

interesting different takes across these three roman eps though

pompeii was just like romans are just normal dysfunctional families just like u, eaters of light was like these romans are just scared children just like their opponents, and pandorica was like romans are a powerful army and in fact are something even scarier undercover

well we’ll catch up with the Not Quite Dead Yet gang in 1996 which is where i put the big bang

the girl who died

circa 800 

god i think i love 12 so much bc 9 times out of 10 his doc traits aren’t taken seriously

like his whole god complex and waltzing into a situation and pretending he’s in charge is boiled down here to him dicking around with a yo-yo

what a Dumbass

obvs other docs are this level of Idiot i mean i just watched 10 and his water gun in pompeii but 12 looks like he should be angsty and brooding and 98% of his blustering ends up being pure Nonsense

god what an appropriate ep to watch though with the callback to pompeii

also everything about being functionally immortal now hits differently thanks chibs

what a solid ep though 

i’m excited to keep going bc so far it’s made more sense than i thought it would cuz as messy as this show is it always seems to know thematically where to land

most obvious with storytelling as a weapon/defense instead of fighting here

it juxtaposes cool things that i wouldn’t necessarily notice if i watched it in sequence

and keeps me from getting bored lol

anyway we’ll catch up with our Functionally Immortal Dorks in not too long in 1651

robots of sherwood

circa 1190...ish

another clara and 12 adventure!

more stories! more grumpy grandpa who doesn’t believe in robin hood!

this ep was just sheer fun thanks doc who

i don’t have much else to say

vampires of venice

circa 1580

helen MCcrORY???

i don’t think i’ve ever seen this episode 

okay so tbh for a moment i really like 11 and amy and rory as characters i just...the love triangle drama...why....i think i remember it calming down later but right now they’ve all just met and like...why...

i’m still distracted by helen! mccrory!

god ‘you make others a danger to themselves’ 

again see what i said before everything in doctor who may be a mess that is currently on fire

but the understanding of the doctor and the show’s moral core doesn’t waver

i had to look up where they filmed bc i was 95% sure it was actually venice but no it was croatia so nicely done set design/editors/who ever else

i mean vampires...in...venice...waht more can i say

the shakespeare code

circa 1599

another CLASSIC

apparently the 16th century is for femme fatales

‘i’m sir doctor of tardis’ oh y god i’m dying

‘i’m a doctor’ ‘i am too’ martha jones i love you

just my love for martha overall she’s just so excited to be there 

i’d forgotten how flirty shakespeare was my god

wow 10 mentioning that rose would know what to do right in front of martha

dude my dude

again literally just campy fun i love this stupid show

the witchfinders

early 17th century

a 13 episode!! my love!!!! 

i’ve been dancing along to all of the opening credit so far but i do really really love 13′s credits

i hope you’re prepared for me to just reiterate how much i love 13 bc it’s coming

again just like thematically sound!!! 13 tells the fam not to interfere and they’re like even if somethings not right? which harkens back not only to other events in season 11 but also is so strong coming off 10 and 12 in pompeii and other places

i love 13 no brooding no questioning she just dives right into the water bc something is wrong

alan cumming is living his best life here my god he’s having so much fun

i didn’t catch this before but when willa is feeling sick and the doc is like let me sonic you and yaz instead knows it’s mental health

i just...yaz kills me and 13 dealing in realm of science and investigation first not emotions

the entire scene between the doc and king james is *insert fire emoji here*

‘just another wonder of the universe you’re not going to be able to tell anyone about’ the salt here. i love that this is such a negative. she’s like oh the world is cool but u don’t get to share it.

and finally with reiterating it’s okay to be scared but you have to keep going and don’t fear the unknown

i love this show

aaaaand that’s it for the night folks
