[grandadtwelve]

ive always held the belief that the doctor, upon making ashildr immortal, somehow managed to find one of the few beings in existence who would not and will not ever get along with jack harkness.

the ashildr and jack in my brain fucking HATE each other and I find it so fucking funny. jack and clara? besties, lovers, soulmates, have exchanged wedding rings. ashildr and clara? besties, partners in crime, unrequited childhood crush to closest friend and confidant. jack and ashildr? literally what is wrong with you you’re so annoying I hate you why the fuck am I stuck here with you of all goddamn people I wish you would die and stay dead thank god my memory doesn’t last forever so I don’t have to be tortured by every irritating thing you’ve ever done oh my god you’re so boring what did you get clara for her birthday are you coming early to the party to help set up yes okay great fuck you bye

#I’m sure other people have hcs of them getting along but I personally cannot imagine them being anything but catty hateful gay nemeses with #clara in the middle like are you two fucking fr #dw hc #mios #ashildr #lady me #jack harkness #clara oswald #doctor who #500 #immortal ex companions polycule #1k

[quietwingsinthesky]

sometimes i think about lady me and her volumes upon volumes of well-organized memoirs she can barely feel connected to anymore, and then i think about jack harkness, who tries to hold onto everyone with the desperate clinging grasp of fading memories, who must know he will lose one day. how long can you make love last when you will last forever. can you drag its weight with you to the end of the universe, and what do you do if you feel the burden getting lighter before you’re even halfway. and that’s about the point where i start crying.

The Doctor: humans die so soon :( they're so weak :( and they age :(

Jack: I'm literally undying and unaging –

The Doctor: damn can't get rid of this bitch :/

Jack & Ashildr: Doctor our immortality is literally your responsibility. And if you take us with you you won't have to worry about putting us in danger !

The Doctor: I need to get away from this bitch as far as possible

#why is he this way #he makes me so mad #i know i know one constant companion would be boring #but the doctor was literally running from them #they could've given us a hint that the doctor meets with them from time to time #always #he would worry so much less #doctor who #torchwood #captain jack harkness #tenth doctor #twelfth doctor #ashildr #lady me #that “can't get rid of him” is real (Ten) btw

GALLIFREYAN IS THEIR LOVE LANGUAGE

Gallifreyan, the last language of the Time Lords, able to burn stars and rise up empires and topple gods. But it was never just that. It's the first language he ever spoke, the language of his childhood, the language he taught his children and granddaughter. It's the language that brings him home. But his home is long gone and when Gallifrey fell, the language was lost with it.

What had meant family became the reminder of his loneliness. But he never stopped using it. He used it as a reminder of what he had lost, as a reminder not to let anyone else have to make the decision he made that day.

Gallifreyan means so much to the Doctor... And all the companions have sensed that at some point.

Rose used to stare at Nine writing on sticky notes, delicate tracings of all she didn't know about him, perfect circles and lines that fascinated her. She never dared to ask, though. When Jack joined them, not knowing the Doctor was the last of his kind, he had no problem doing it.

"What are you writing?" He asked peering over his shoulder. "Oh, Doctor, do you have a secret code you use to look enigmatic?" Smiling as he said it. "Is it even a real language or are you just using it to impress us?" It had just been their normal banter, he hadn't meant to hurt him.

The Doctor had turned serious for a moment, trying to make clear that Gallifreyan wasn't banter material-

"It's the language of my people." He answered simply. "Now," he added, a smile on his face and changing his tone completely while pressing buttons in the TARDIS controls, "who wants to go to the beach?"

Jack was confused, wanting to ask, but Rose took his arm, signaling for him to let it go.

"You're finally taking me somewhere I can get a proper tan." Rose said smiling to the Doctor, letting go of Jack's arm.

Jack understood Rose and went back to his normal harmless quips.

"Only if he's able to land the TARDIS in a real beach without an emergency crisis going on this time."

The Doctor had seen the interaction between Jack and Rose and he silently thanked her for it. He decided at that moment that if Rose ever asked, he would answer. The image of him teaching her how to read Gallifreyan even crossed his mind for a brief second.

"Oh, Jack, I'm going to land this TARDIS in the most beautiful beach you've ever seen.

And he did.

They never talked again about Gallifreyan with the Doctor, but the beauty of the circles always Intrigued them. They used to joke about what they thought was written on the sticky notes when Doctor wasn't there and that led to them trying to figure out how to read it, which circles where words and which ones where letters, failing every time to decipher it.

Rose understood it when she was Bad Wolf but it all faded away too quickly for her to remember it afterwards. Then, Jack was left behind and Rose stopped trying to figure it out. Ten would have taught her, but she never asked. Tentoo taught her without her needing to say anything.

Jack never stopped trying to understand it. Using the Torchwood files they had about Gallifreyan just like Martha used UNIT's. Working together and knowing what some of the messages said they made some progress at recognizing patterns but not enough to translate other messages.

Donna didn't give Gallifreyan a long thought while she was travelling with the Doctor. Just a Martian language. Sometimes Wilfred finds her doodling perfectly organized circles and lines when she is distracted. He hates not being able to tell her about the Doctor when she gets angry at herself after realizing she is doodling nonsense again.

When Ten met River she told him his name in perfect Gallifreyan. He thought he should have had to really love and trust her not only to tell her his name but to teach her Gallifreyan to the point of speaking it daily, judging by the accent. What he didn't know was that River had born with the ability to talk Gallifreyan, she was, after all, the daughter of the TARDIS.

Jack and River came across each other a couple of times, forming a close friendship over the years. Their love for the Doctor made them create a special bond. At that point Jack had lost all hope in learning Gallifreyan; his adventures with the Doctor had happened centuries ago and understanding sticky notes around the TARDIS had no sense anymore. He had given up the thought of travelling with him again. When River offered to teach him anyway his face lit up with a smile.

Eleven hid his past inside himself, so when the TARDIS redecorated he made sure not to have Gallifreyan anywhere visible. Amy learnt about it when River used it to contact the Doctor but she was more interested in the adventure so she never thought to ask. That's what Eleven loved about her. (Because Army didn't ask, neither did Rory.)

When they got trapped by the angels in Manhattan, Amy's way to cope with loosing the Doctor was listening to the stories her daughter told her. She started to get interested in the little things she hadn't been able to appreciate with the adrenaline of the moment, trying to hold on to anything that reminded her of that moment of her life. When River understood it, she taught Amy to read and write Gallifreyan. Soon, the Pond's house started filling with messages: reminders and recipes written in a language only Amy, Rory and their two children could understand and a letter from Amy for only her Raggedy Man to read once he was ready.

When Eleven met Clara he fell for her, every time. He redecorated the TARDIS for her to ask about Gallifreyan, ready to share that part of his life with her. Clara was like Amy, though, always invested in the adventure, slowly falling for the Doctor. But when he changed, she changed too. Twelve eventually accepted Clara was never going to ask, so he started to write in English in the blackboards of the TARDIS for her to understand what he wrote but still leaving the Gallifreyan in the console's decoration. He adapted to her but he quietly hopped she would do the same one day.

Clara was forced to learn Gallifreyan in order to fly the TARDIS. Me taught her. She had learnt it many years before from her old friend, the Face of Boe.

The first time River spoke Gallifreyan in front of the Doctor was during their night in Darillium. She called him anidiot. She had gotten used to insulting people in Gallifreyan and switching languages was an instinct. River saw the Doctor cry for the first time that day. She hugged him in the floor while the Doctor told her about his kids and his marvelous granddaughter, all in the language of his people. At that moment she had thought that she had reminded him of everyone he had lost when she spoke Gallifreyan. Now, however, she understands the Doctor was thinking about how he was going to lose the only person he had left with whom he could speak it.

When the Doctor let Missy into the TARDIS with Bill, she made a comment about him having the names of his companions as decoration in the console. It took the Doctor a second to realize that Missy understood Gallifreyan, he had been guarding the vault for years and he had never spoken to Missy in their native language.

"We don't speak Gallifreyan." The Doctor mentioned once they were alone in the vault.

"Always so observant, Doctor" Missy rolled her eyes.

The only time he spoke Gallifreyan with Missy was when he was trying to convince her and the Master to stay and fight with him against the cybermen. The next time they saw each other, O spoke in Gallifreyan ("I did say the spy... master."), Thirteen didn't give him the privilege of answering in Gallifreyan.

In the year 2023 a giant graffiti of circles appears in London. It says "You are not alone". Yaz wrote it. She doesn't know Gallifreyan but she asked Jack to translate that sentence after one of her Companions Meetings.

The Doctor knows about the graffiti but she doesn't know who wrote it. She doesn't know that almost all her companions know Gallifreyan. She thinks it's something from her future, not realizing she has already Inspired so many people, not realizing that her companions can sense how much Gallifreyan means to her. Not realizing that Gallifreyan is their love language.

- clara's tardis, a few moments after the doctor fell unconscious -

ashildr, revising the plan: so. you dress up as a waitress, let him speak, ask simple questions from time to time, let it go and then we leave?

clara, nodding: exactly

ashildr, doubtful: what if he recognizes you?

clara, taking a deep breath in: shouldn't. can't. won't. the memory wipe is no joke

ashildr, after a pause: okay. i suppose the universe won't explode over a little chat

clara, a sad smile on her lips: thank you

clara: *suddenly stopping in her tracks*

clara: actually, i want to say goodbye to the tardis first. his tardis. maybe even take something as a souvenir

ashildr, shrugging: why not

- later -

ashildr: clara, i think you've missed a point in our plan

clara: what?

ashildr, raising an eyebrow: letting go.

clara, surrounded by an endless collection of doctor's coats, t-shirts and other "essential" inventory: no. i'm completely over him.

- somewhere in the desert -

the doctor: *opens the tardis' doors*

the tardis: *lights up*

the doctor: *looks around the half-empty tardis in horror*

the doctor: what the f-

No cause like, Ashildr/The Lady Me deserves these hands for her actions on Trap Street. She may recover. She may kill me. But she is getting the brakes beat off her. I may be dead, but Clara and the Doctor getting robbed of each other like that and she will have lost.

Weirdest running joke in Doctor Who (positive):

"Always the quiet ones."

When Missy escapes the presidential jet in Death in Heaven, she hides her handcuffs in Osgood's coat pocket, then goes "Always the quiet ones." when she finds it.

Then, in The Woman Who Lived (note, an episode completely unconnected from the last one, not even in the same series with no overlapping characters between scenes) Lady Me ties Twelve to a chair in her closet, and her "half-blind, deaf as a post" servant Clayton says, upon seeing him "Oh dear. Always the quiet ones."

This isn't "Yes, I know who you are", it's not "Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey", it's not even "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow".

But why is it here?

I get the joke, but also... no? The Doctor is anything but quiet, in fact.

I guess it could be a joke about Clayton thinking he's quiet because he can't hear him well. He did just think a gunshot was someone knocking on the door.

Anyway, it's just something weird and funny I noticed.

All Matrix prophecies predicted that a creature, thought to be crossbred from two warrior races, would stand over the ruins of Gallifrey and unravel the Web of Time, breaking a billion billion hearts to heal its own.

Everyone knows that for prophecies this old the truth is in the eye of the beholder. The Doctor has seen many hybrids in their lives. The Doctor thinks they know the true identity of the Hybrid. But the Doctor isn't on Gallifrey now. And the Doctor doesn't know everything. In fact, he doesn't know the half of the story...

The Master returns to Gallifrey! Clara is back, the long way round! All in time for ancient secrets to be revealed - secrets that will bring forth the destruction of Gallifrey! All paths lead to one thing: the Hybrid!

1.1 The Master of the Citadel

Last time he returned, the Master was a prisoner of War. This time, without Rassilon in sight and a government in shambles, he takes his rightful place as Lord President of the Time Lords... and finally brings prosperity back to his people?

But the CIA knows the Master – this has to be an act, there has to be a plan behind his benevolence... right?

1.2 Silence of the Time Lords

After the loss of the Time War, the Time Lords are back on track to becoming what they once were. But someone is keeping tabs.

The Temporal Powers, once allowed by the Time Lords to share responsibility for the Web of Time, now deem them the greatest danger to the rational universe. An ambassador for the Monan Host has been sent to assess the situation. Some within the Council want to welcome their help – the Master prefers a more deceitful approach.

The Temporal Powers aren't fools, though, and have come prepared to make them confess.

1.3 The Keeper of the Matrix

The Master is determined to find out how Rassilon became as powerful as he was and has enlisted the Keeper of the Record of Time, the Matrix, to do so. He is going past the Cloister Wraths, past the Time War, past the redactions of the CIA – all the way to the very beginning. But will he be able to see past the mists of Time?

Meanwhile, the General has to deal with the Killer Cats' attack on the shobogans.

1.4 Time of the Division

Gallifrey in crisis! The Killer Cats reveal their true plan to take over the Time Lords as Lords of Gallifrey. Who can the General trust? And Clara and Me couldn't have picked a worst time to pay the Capitol a visit at last.

The Master has run into something in the Matrix that's even beyond the reach of the CIA – he has met Division. And Division has met him. Now they're sending their best agent from long ago to politely make him stop digging into their secrets. But once he has his sights set on something, he will stop at nothing to get it.

Pre-order Gallifrey: Hybrid Volume 1 now from nowhere!

(Volume 2 coming soon-ish?)

Ultimate Doctor Who Poll Round 1 - Matchup 11

Episode Summaries under the cut

122: The Woman Who Lived - Season 9, Episode 6: The Doctor visits the immortal Ashildr, who now goes by Lady Me, having forgotten her original name over the centuries. She still has the limits of human memory, so she has a massive library of diaries. She begs the Doctor to take her with him, but he refuses. She does convince him to help her with a robbery she's staging, an alien jewel from a rich couple. Her and an alien accomplice of hers plan to use the jewel to open a portal so they can escape from Earth. Once obtained, the alien opens the portal to allow his species to invade the Earth. While initially dismissive of normal human life compared to her own, Me finds that she still cares when the aliens begin their attack and begs for the Doctors help. He closes the portal and Me decides to remain on Earth, to look after the people that the Doctor abandons.

135: Cold War - Season 7B, Episode 3: The Doctor and Clara land on a Russian submarine during the Cold War, where they have unearthed an Ice Warrior, Grand Marshall Skaldak that has been lodged in the ice for 5,000 years. One of the Russian soldiers attacks Skaldak, who then seeks revenge. The Doctor sends Clara to negotiate with him, as she is the only non-soldier on board, but she finds that Skaldak has left his armor and is loose aboard the ship. He dissects several soldiers to learn more about human anatomy, as well as reading their minds to learn about the Cold War and the concept of mutual assured destruction. He learns that there are no more Ice Warriors on their native planet of Mars, and does not believe the Doctor when he says that the Ice Warriors have many ships outside of our solar system. Believing himself to be the last Ice Warrior, he resigns to destroy the Earth by launching a Russian nuclear missile and plunging the Earth into nuclear war. The Doctor threatens to destroy the whole submarine, killing them all, but saving the Earth, and Skaldek relents. An Ice Warrior ship finally arrives, having received Skaldek's distress signal. The Doctor disarms the missiles and he and Clara take off in the TARDIS.
