The Doctor's Ship (Tenteen x Mels)

Please, @whenyourunwiththedoctor put them into my head this morning with her beautiful collage of pictures and quotes and now I need them to be a thing! So I wrote a tiny bit of a scene for them - don't ask me how this fits into canon; do ask me about the circumstances though, I would love to work on yet another Mels AU tbh

[ID: two images, the first one is of the Tenteen (14th) Doctor looking out the TARDIS door, smiling cheekily, the other one of Mels Zucker, looking upwards with a determined expression and the hint of a smile. end ID]

Mels has seen the police box stand in their garden with doors closed for so long, she has almost forgotten it is supposed to open. There is a flutter in her stomach when John turns the key and he looks over his shoulder, winking at her, like he knows exactly what is going on inside her mind. He probably does. John always seems to know.

He doesn't open the door though, stepping to the side and leaning against the TARDIS's corner – because this is the TARDIS, right? Mels is honest-to-God about to enter the TARDIS, the Doctor's spaceship, step into his realm, experience the wonder of timetravel for herself.

“Would you do the honors?” John asks, tapping the handle invitingly, before pulling back to continue staring at her.

He does that as lot, stare at her. Always has, even before they started seeing each other. Sometimes it feels like he knows her in a thousand different lives and realities, like he looks at her but he's seeing someone else who is also her, who she will grow into, perhaps. He is a timetraveller after all. Or is he?

There is a soft smile playing at his lips, the kind he reserves for her and Donna and Rose and Mel.

“Don't mind if I do, honey.”

She tries to put on a brave face – she is just opening a door after all, nevermind what that might change between John and her – but she can't quite hold back the jitters in her voice. John seems to notice, because right away he is streching out his hand towards her, fingers wiggling back and forth, eyebrows raised in question. She accepts the hand gladly, palm sliding against his calloused skin – he spends way too much time in his tinkering shed, cooking up a present or other for her (or Rose). Still, the pressure is reassuring and now she is pushing open the door, slowly.

She knows immediately. It's hard to miss a 'bigger on the inside' spaceship, but she knows at first glance on the white floor and walls that this is her. Awestruck, she steps inside, John following behind her. It's like the air is buzzing with time, but maybe those are just her nerves, flaring up at the realisation that she has actually found him. The Doctor. She had known, of course, but having the confirmation, finally – frankly, it is dizzying.

“Hello” Mels breathes and the TARDIS hums in response, a sound that goes through her body and into her mind. It feels like coming home.

John is pressing her hand again. “Are you okay?”

He's standing very close, she can feel his breath on her skin. So close. So vulnerable.

It's John, she tells herself. That's all that matters, that's all she has to know. Just John, her friend, her love, who is stupid enough to try and keep the Doctor safe from her and yet is trusting her with this knowledge now. Well, he doesn't know that she's out to get the Doctor, does he? Because he isn't him.

She turns around to him and again he is watching her, all caring eyes and adoring smile. No trace of fear. And why would there be?

“Perfectly” she lies, smiling back, and his own grin grows, showing his teeth.

“Come on!” he beams. “You've got to check out the coffee machine!”

“Your - This ship has a coffee machine?” she laughs, letting him pull her over to the console.

“The best coffee machine in the universe” he boasts, startling when he already finds a cup waiting. He picks it up, sniffing carefully, before plunging his tongue into the scalding hot contents. He winces, pulls a face and hands the cup to Mels, shaking his head, huffing and puffing.

“It's for you” he says and the words sound airy as he's trying to cool his burnt tongue. Mels bites back a grin, taking the cup. He shakes himself violently.

“Triple macchiato with a pinch of cinnamon” he coughs. “I don't understand how you gulp that stuff down.”

“You mean without a bucket of sugar to go with it?” she teases and he glares.

“Careful, love” he then warns, belatedly. “It's hot.”

“Yeah, dear” she deadpans. “I noticed.”

She blows onto the cup, looking around the console in wonder. He passes behind her, lightly touching between her shoulder blades.

“Be careful not to spill onto the console either” he mutters. “Or we could end up Rassilon-knows-where.”

She raises an eyebrow at the haunted look in his eyes. “That sounds like you've got experience.”

He huffs. “Don't remind me.”

She chuckles, taking a small gulp of the coffee. It tastes heavenly. She can definitely see John's clumsy self spilling coffee onto the console and jettisonning the Doctor far out into space. The Doctor was probably livid with him. Mels wish she could have been there to laugh at John and then hurt the Doctor for shouting at him. No one but Mels (or Donna) gets to be cross with John on her watch. Sylvia is on thin ice and only because she annoyingly tends to be right.

“So” John call out at her, putting a hand onto the engine lever. Mels doesn't know how she knows it is the engine lever but she is dead certain and it sends her stomach down to her knees to see John in a position ready to start the ship. Can he fly the TARDIS? “Where are we going?”

“The Doctor lets you fly the TARDIS?” she blurts out and he grins.

“Sometimes” he confirms. “If I'm good.”

Mels blinks. This is getting into dangerous territory. The Doctor is the only one who knows how to fly the TARDIS, isn't he? That's what they all say? So how does John-? No, she is not thinking about that.

Oblivious to her inner turmoil, John winks at her again. “Want me to show you how?”

She forces a smile, putting down the coffee cup and meeting her – very human, very much not the Doctor – friend. “I'd love that.”

“Come on then!” he gently guides her towards the lever, steady arms wrapping around her to help her along.

“John” she says softly, fingers grabbing tightly around the cold metal on the lever, not daring to start the engine yet.

“Yes, Mels?”

He is right behind her and she leans back, craving his embrace more than ever.

“You know I will have to kill you some day?” she asks and he goes still.

Then he hums in confirmation, low and contemplative, before tenderly pulling her against him with one arm, pressing a kiss to her temple.

“Anything you want, sweetie” he promises like she had asked him whether they could adopt a pet and not told him of her plans to murder him. “But not before we've seen the stars!”

Guardianship au,,,,,save me guardianship au,,,,,,,

If you don’t mind the questions, how’d the Tortuga gang react to Chris tagging along? I assume they understood Chris would be joining them early on into Martin being accepted, but I imagine the situation was more like. Martin snagging a new job on the Tortuga >> realizing he can’t take this job and leave his brother alone >> Chris says don’t worry just take me with you >> Martin nervously asking heyyyyyyyy is it cool if my little brother comes with?

Obviously everyone had to be cool with it eventually, but do you know what Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy had going through their heads when a mildly emo, 14yo Chris rolled in with a deeply anxiety-ridden Martin?

This is kinda the awkward phase of the team's relationship where they know Martin is struggling, but he's not willing to let them help just yet.

The second Chris finds out about the Tortuga it becomes his life-mission to convince Martin to let him go on the trip (it will not be difficult at all to convince him)

Martin is just hesitant because he wants to make sure he's not being selfish in his decision to join the team. Of course Chris wants to go too, but Martin is trying to think of his best interest.

Of course, he eventually realizes that the team genuinely cares about them and he's willing to let them help out with Chris, and then the found-family can commence!!!

[Log #1]

Ok..so I decided to record an audio log for what i’m about to do in case somebody finds me probably dead after being hunted by a Hollywood star in the woods and wonders what the hell I was doing but.. essentially..*sighs* I decided to go to the lab where I was raised. Mostly to see if there’s any information about me that I can find and also maybe I can figure out if it was those Marybell freaks. who did those experiments or somebody else. 

*Some unintelligible murmurs are heard* 

 Oh,There it is. I’ll update this later I guess.

*the log ends and the next one plays*

[Log #2]

I'm a horrible person. I killed them all. I thought I just killed the scientists but no. I killed the children , it makes sense. Those fuckers probably hid the fact that the childern died so they didn’t have to explain the experiments. I'm a monster. I should have never gone to Marybell. I should have just rotted in that alleyway. Because monsters like me shouldn’t be remembered in a good way.

*The log ends abruptly.*

[ladyinthebluebox]

y'all saying that Taash is the dragon from Trespasser or that there is a connection between the two... don't your arms hurt from all that reaching? XD

CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER (bark), THRILLER (bark) NIGHT

Usopp's outfit is so funny for reals

He got the whole squad laughing

Luffy enablers at it again.... (Robin.... I know.....)

The humor panels so far have been so good!!! God this arc is so funny

HE SAID IT‼️‼️

They look like birds 😭😭

It's just too good... luffy taking cerberus and zombies what can't he do

It's just banger after banger what can I say

Franky feeling for other people because of his guilt complex and sanji lying through his teeth and pulling out the women excuse to seem unaffected... yeah

Look at them.... look how they ate

Omg joyboy reference?? (No)

Sanji is rubbing off on usopp.... also chopper noticing that is sogeking's weapon akdhaksjak

ANOTHER SLAY!!!!!

Their priorities: I'm not strong enough, there isn't enough food, and nami isn't here

Franky going from wanting to kill brook for his jokes to making a joke like his after he hears his backstory... exactly (Robin was already enabling him before the backstory even fdagjsfha)

Sanji is altering his body and actually being on fire to communicate to us how fucking mad he is..... I need more of him going insane I do I do

My god what is he doing ALDJALAJALA

AHSAHAHQHAH THEY ARE THE SAME!!! naaah sanji wouldn't force a woman to be his wife

You cant see me but I am nodding my head in agreement over and over

You don't understand he altered his body to communicate to us how mad he is. He inploded himself and then reconstituted again. Those germa 66 genes are insane

question: how do you come up with OC interactions that aren't yours? I'm curious as to how you fit them into the story

a lot of trust, back and forth, and inducing madness in my subjects (the OC handlers aka @dragonji and @yanqings) and letting their brain do most of the work for me :3

I basically treat the OCs as I would canon characters but with the special bonus that I can immediately ask the handlers like "hey is this the vibe" and they will check / revise / discuss with me. sometimes I also just ask "so in this given scenario, what would OC do" bc I'm not always 100% accurate so it's important to check in w them!! then I'll write up a scene and show it to them at every stage of revision. this means that they both have greater access to the sacred texts (my outlines) bc the story actually depends on the actions of their OCs to some extent. and in exchange I bear the holy honor of helping bring their OCs to life 🥰🥰 it takes a lot of trust and coordination so let's take this time to clap and thank our OC handlers for their infinite patience 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Regarding the last question, do you think Edd/Eddy always had been planned or intentional since first day, or was something that incidentally developed over the time?

After all, the only crew member we know who actively shipped Edd/Eddy was Raven Molisee, but she didn't join the show until season 5, and the show was already heavily suggesting them since at least season 3. Or even late season 2.

(I know you don't have much contact with behind-the-scenes, but I always find nice and fun knowing your theories and speculations).

while i do appreciate very much that someone enjoys hearing my opinion on this kind of thing, i don't see much point in speculating on a topic that i know in particular has been speculated about and discussed to death by people with much more info than me. i seriously know very, very little about that stuff. and it's not that the information doesn't interest me, i just haven't gotten around to reading it all. personally i've always been more into the voice acting than individual writers or animators. it's closer to my own special interest as a singer.

anyway i can't say for certain why edd and eddy act the way they do together without it being intentional bc i genuinely have no clue. perhaps i'm just too deep into gaysville to come up with a different theory. but,,,,, i don't think it was intentional, certainly not initially, and i hesitate to pose any theories because there may be an actual answer or educated guess already out there and frankly don't want to look like more of an idiot than necessary.

you can add this to my bad fan write up, but ultimately i don't really care whether anyone on the crew "shipped" eddeddy or any other pairings. cuz again, i don't think anyone set out with the intention that edd and eddy end up being...whatever the hell they are by the end of the show and movie. much less a full blown 🏳️‍🌈 gouple 🏳️‍🌈 i'm willing to believe that there were folks on the crew later on who possibly liked the idea and went with it. but that's the most i'm comfortable saying at this point.

i will say that i love seeing danny and others who worked on the show being supportive of lgbt headcanons/ships. it means a lot to me and i'm sure to the rest of the overwhelmingly fruity fanbase. that's better than a lot of fanbases get. that i'm sure of.

sobs,, Kinito was trying to record an answer to an ask and the footage didnt record properly,, so i made a shitpost with it instead

if i had a nickel for every time i accidentally got into a band with masked men, and happens to be a cult(lore wise) through instagram reels, id have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

[lovelyamneris]

thinking about my beloved OC Ben Grier who’s an actor who plays a fictional science fiction villain on TV. And he eventually spirals because as it turns out the character he’s playing and the TV show he’s acting in is a very real parallel universe to his real life. so the longer Ben plays fictional murderous space Pirate Jack Allston, the more he starts to feel all Jack’s grief, hatred, pain, trauma, and regret himself. And Ben feels as if he has to live with everything terrible Jack has done, because it feels like he did it too. But because Ben is so kind and sensitive (just a very talented actor) he can’t take it he can’t take it he can’t take it!
