#the doctor doctor who

[maddest-queen]

heyyyy doctor who gang, specifically my classic who fans, would y'all be interested in hearing abt my s8 au called Renascence? I won't give too much away, but it's about jo grant slowly getting so fed up with being put down and mistreated by the doctor and UNIT that she starts working with the master 💜 and she and the master have a father-daughter dynamic in it 💜

things you can expect in renascence:

-the third doctor being a bit of a bitch. his actions in this au are based more on his first interactions with jo in terror of the autons, when he didn't want anything to do with her because he felt she was "unqualified". (though he still does care for her very much)

-jo being bold, albeit mostly in secret, and trying to figure herself out. (this also includes eventual regular visits to the master!)

-original characters of mine, including original alien species!

-the master being a hesitant but eventually quite good mentor, and teaching jo about time and space

-jo and yates being good friends

-bell keeping jo's secret, at first under threat, and then out of a sort of care for jo to feel better and not feel so put down at times

-mentions/hints of thoschei/threegado bc what sort of person would I be if I didn't

-jo being emotional in all kinds of ways (sorry girl I love you)

okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

and thought it would be fun to actually work that out. so

^^^ every doctor who episode in chronological order

(pls let me know if theres any mistakes! i got most of the info from the tardis wiki so idk if its 100% accurate)

btw!!! the episodes are ordered by where they go FIRST in the episode :) (PLEASE STOP TELLING ME TO PUT UNEARTHLY CHILD FIRST THEYRE IN 1963 FIRS TPLEASEEEEEYEGEHFEHFYUFHGEUYS)

My favorite part of doctor who ever is when the doctor does their whole “I refuse to kill this villain/monster because of merciful moral reasons” bit and then immediately follows it with “so instead I will trap them alone in a barren hell dimension for all eternity”. It’s like that’s worse, though. do you get why that’s worse.

The Doctor and The Master implies a third, less prestigious renegade timelord named The Bachelor

[fanonical]

genuinely, i think watching live theatre can improve your media literacy so much

like people who look at doctor who and are like 'lol the effects are so rubbish'

maybe watch a stage play where there's no backdrops and half the characters are played by the same three guys in different hats and maybe you will calm down

And this is useful to me, I didn't know the "n" was silent. But otherwise his name is very intuitive to say. People don't really have an excuse

Doctor Who is a great fandom to be in on tumblr because you'll see spoilers everywhere but not a single one of them is coherent unless you've seen the episode anyway. like oh the glorbon is secretly trying to ensnare humanity in a giant crab trap? the new companion Jiminy Pubble turned out to be the latest regeneration of the Doctor's old enemy The Fuckwizard? thanks I know less than I did before

"what does a TARDIS malfunction sound like?"

"idk just dump the entire goofy sound effects library in the span of 10 seconds. That should do it"
