What is your favourite Doctor Who story?

ROUND 2 MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

The Unicorn and the Wasp

Synopsis

In 1926, Agatha Christie mysteriously disappears, only to be found ten days later at Harrogate Hotel with no memory of what happened to her. What could have been the cause? Was it a nervous breakdown? Was it a cry for help? Or did it involve a giant alien wasp and a mysterious stranger known only as the Doctor?

Propaganda no propaganda submitted

The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords

Synopsis

The Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones and Jack Harkness return to present day London, horrified to discover that Prime Minister Harold Saxon is the Master. "Saxon" informs the world about receiving contact from an alien race called the Toclafane. Framed as fugitives, the Doctor, Martha and Jack try to sneak in and stop the Master before he unleashes a wave of terror. But his dark ambitions reach beyond the stars...

@thedoctorfalls tagged me thank youuuu my friend~~

i taaaag @july10th2020 @nicolodigenovas @polarcell @bookersebastien @niccolos but only if yall want to of course!!

1. why did you choose your url?

nicolo di genova my beloved <3 i suppose i was really deep into the tog feels (still am etc), wanted to see if there were any good urls open, and just decided to check the availability of nicolos... and it was open! magic! 

2. any side blogs?

several! i have an inactive anime sideblog @kashimavuu a semi-active kdrama sideblog @ladyhaesoo, a slightly less inactive these days kpop blog @sehunsface ft dead-ish side-sideblog @jeonkookd , an old incorrect quotes blog for the foxhole court at @incorrecttfc , one old book series blog, a small writing blog, and an rp save stuff blog!

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

since about... mid-late 2011, i think? it’s been ten years huh 💀

4. do you have a queue tag?

i used to have all those fun quote queue tags, but these days i straight up just dont tag when i queue posts

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

so i INITIALLY got tumblr in 2010 i believe when i was on belieber twitter (baby jui...), but i had no idea how to use it and i didn’t last for long. then when... i heard on twt that there was more of a vampire diaries fandom, or maybe something to do with posting images - god knows twt has weird enough rules for image posting, and they were probably worse then - i made a tvd icon blog? i used to post like icons that i made, but ofc i had no idea how to tag anything LOL. from there i became a tvd blog, from there a multifandom, etc etc.

6. why did you choose your icon?

i wanted something purple!!! and joe and nicky... <33333 i love them

7. why did you choose your header?

my header is a picture of my old cat, who i love very much <3 polly wherever u are i hope you’re doing well <33333

8. what's your post with the most notes?

it’s definitely my martha jones gifset, made years ago before i used my own psds, with the old sizes... the fact that its at 7k STILL shocks and surprises me, esp bc i dont think that gifset is that great anymore sdfsdfsdf

9. how many mutuals/followers do you have?

i have... well on THIS blog i have 1006 followers, but the number is really different on other blogs (some more, some a Lot less) - i couldnt begin to figure out how many mutuals i have lol

10. how many people do you follow?

1991 ! it’s a big number ik, but that’s because i dont actually unfollow people (unless theyve posted something heinous i mean) - there’s a lot of old inactive blogs in there too

11. have you ever made a shitpost?

probably many! the best i can remember is when i participated in some... sherlock crack theory day or something. idk. maybe a mishapocalypse post back when that actually happened. who knows?

12. how often do you use tumblr?

i tap in and out! i don’t have much going on rn lol job hunting etc etc, so sometimes its hours, sometimes its just a few minutes between reading fic or trying to feel productive! 

13. did you have a fight/argument with another blog? who won?

i suppose that depends on your definition of a fight or argument - on my old blog, before i switched over to this one, i used to get into fights w ppl. not SUPER often, but i have done it ! as w tumblr arguments, i can’t really say there’s any winners or losers, since im pretty sure none of us ever changed our own minds lol. on this blog... i “stay in my lane”, so to speak. its grown more tiring as time passes. that SAID, earlier this year another blog got into a fight with me. i won’t say i was entirely blameless, but i apologised, and they consistently escalated it... i’d say they won that one, though. maybe not morally, but in terms of consequences

14. how do you feel about "you need to reblog this" posts?

im a very petty person

15. do you like tag/ask games?

i LOVE them hehehehe

16. which of your mutuals do you think are tumblr famous?

tumblr famous is a strange word.... i do feel some of those of you tagged are at least famous in the tog fandom? and then i’m mutuals with some people who have been tumblr famous in the asoiaf fandom? 

17. do you have a crush on a mutual?

not... exactly... i mean maybe sort of kind of, but not really! but i have friend crushes on a lot of mutuals!!! i can be shy lol but i do try to message anyone i want to be friends with. its easier on the internet than irl etc etc

Wishing for Wishy Washy

Look Out 1 & 2

What’s the Pointe?

The Primary Cape Crusader

Dress For Danger

(These shows are great but the main thing holding me back from 100% loving them was the love subplot haha particularly in Primary Cape Crusader)

Top 5 mmni songs (aka songs that are always stuck in my head):

Hail It Never Fails [What’s the Pointe]

Take A Second Look (Reprise) [Careless Whisper]

Buds In the Sud [Enter the Elephant]

He’s All Alone [Wishing for Wishy Washy]

Top 5 Mischief projects in general. Ooh that’s a tough one. I haven’t seen Groan Ups or Magic Goes Wrong so I’m not including those in my list:

Peter Pan Goes Wrong (2016 BBC version in particular bc it was how I discovered Mischief!)

The Goes Wrong Show (how I discovered the mischief fandom on here!)

Mischief Movie Night In (how I finally got to see Mischief live!)

The Play That Goes Wrong (the play that started it all! Though I particularly love their Royal Variety Performance- I used to watch it all the time to the point that I had it memorized haha)

Thanks for the asks!

ask me my top 5 anything

Hi! i saw your tags on my merlin post (of morgana and merlin staring at each other lol) and i was just wondering your thoughts on why morgana didn't act against merlin sooner? he was poisoned once before i believe, so she could have done the same and let her secret die with him, with or without knowing his magical abilities? my memory of the show is foggy so i may have missed details

i think a big part of it was keeping up appearances. 

she and Merlin were good friends before, and if Morgana is trying to slip into her old life without raising anyone’s suspicions, then being on friendly terms with Merlin is part of that. it would raise eyebrows for her to turn on Merlin, especially for the people who know Merlin well enough to “know” that he wouldn’t do something like that. at least, not without a justification that Morgana can’t give without incriminating herself (she has magic and was associating with Morgause).

Uther may believe that Merlin turned on Morgana for no reason (or a fabricated reason, like ambition or something), but Arthur wouldn’t, and that would have Arthur looking more closely at Morgana, trying to figure out wtf is going on and what would make her say that/what would make Merlin do that.

scrutiny is the last thing she wanted, so she kept up the pretense of friendly terms with Merlin and kept that bombshell as a last resort if she really needed to get him out of the way. it was sort of mutually assured destruction, almost? more useful as a threat than in actual practice.

and she and Morgause did try to just kill him once, they got him stung by a serkhet and left him tied up in the woods to die, and Morgana was like wtf??? when he showed back up alive in camelot later. Merlin just proved remarkably difficult to kill, and being more direct about it raised the chances of somebody figuring it was her, or at least that it was murder, which would raise eyebrows and draw scrutiny again, from Arthur if from no one else.

and remember that it wasn’t just Merlin that knew about her, but Gaius too. killing Merlin may have gotten rid of the problem, with Gaius being too much of a coward to act directly himself, or it could’ve pushed Gaius to go to Arthur and confess/cast blame on Morgana. which may not have gone anywhere (who would Arthur believe, him or Morgana??) but it also might have, and it was just too much of a wild card.

i think it was just overall simpler to try and keep Merlin under her thumb with threats and maneuvering when removing him from the equation was complicated and difficult. after all, she didn’t know what a threat he truly was. he was just a regular serving boy with no real power of his own, magical or political, to counter all of hers. he knew too much, obviously, but he shouldn’t have been more than a pest.

she was just very wrong about that XD
