A reminder of that powerful clip Jodie Whittaker released for fans, especially children, on March 25, 2020, two days after covid lockdown began in the UK.

So before I fall asleep and forget panels
Mandip really has loved every minute, talks about how good a "number one" is - Jodie leading the cast in a totally supportive way so everyone had lunch in her trailer just as a matter of course as they talked things out and she looked out for them; she's "the boss" to Bradley Walsh and even he was impressed by how she does that BTS job of kind of being the captain and anchoring/guiding them (Colin Spaul who did classic Who and new mentions there really isn't much time for rehearsal now, unlike the old days, so not a lot of time to plan and experiment)
S11-12 Jodie was 1, Brad 2, Tosin 3, she was 4, and she probably should've been 3 with John Bishop's experience but Jodie said absolutely not; also in scenes without the Doctor Mandip was half jokingly being 1 but had actually learned a lot from Jodie about leading a cast, a lot of bts stuff she'll take with her [parallelling Yaz!] obviously admires her as well as being really good friends
it's Mandip's first con in the states so of course she's getting really competitive trying to beat Barrowman's ribbon collection
she doesn't think of it as work (she said this at the smaller meet & greet) she really does love acting!
Mandip was a little disappointed they had to stay in wales ("I love Wales!" she hastened to add) for s13 after going to S Africa and Tenerife and Bulgaria, but she liked the continuity, getting to work with actors for several stories like past work
Her favorite stunt so far, although they're tiring, was the crane, just because she'd been doing "telly in the kitchen" right before that, and that scene told her right away this was Big (although she didn't like the heights)
upside down isn't as fun as she thought it would be; headache!
She didn't know that yaz was going to fall for the Doctor until she read those lines on the page — she and Jodie were both like "hm, yeah, we can work with this!" —although it was a natural progression. Until then had been playing it that Yaz admired and loved the Doctor in one way or another, but it totally made sense (she talked about falling in love after becoming good friends with someone, and about how Yaz's flashes of anger with the Doctor are because it hurts more when someone you love hurts you; you don't care so much "if it's a bus driver being rude")
Yes, she had her "Thasmin is canon" ribbon; it was the first thing she mentioned, to much applause. Given her by interviewer Riley Silverman
She talked about representation, understanding it as an Asian actor and why it matters to see characters like you on the media you watch.
And it was just a relaxed and comfortable interview. Riley mentioned at lobbycon that Mandip appreciated Riley had really listened to what she said, more than most interviewers do, which Riley noted as sad. [That's the trouble with prepared questions. Riley is a standup comic, so she's better at improv.]
I feel like I should have more for Sacha but his interview was before Mandips and the interviewer's questions weren't as good.
He has tremendous respect for and spent a lot of time with Waris Hussein. (Who said he did a good job, except while watching rehearsal "I was more posh."
Sacha joking about his not-posh Mancunian (Manchester) accent: he's the first Master not to call himself Maaaahst-ah with that initial posh a-sound. He's from a small village in Manchester, misses it.
Talked a lot about variable modes of his Master, that rather than wearing latex masks he rips off, he likes to settle into other roles, other lives, almost as if he's trying to escape being himself — he's the "Master of disguise" and keeps acting in new ways so you're never quite sure which is the real him.
Got down into his mind a little bit, being resentful of not being appreciated, old friends/enemies with the Doctor, etc etc etc.
Suggested a wild idea— with canon changing/refreshing in weird ways — he could be the next Doctor (I almost think he meant his Master; he's still learning the lore. But he was joking around.)
Asked if he had a controversial take on the Master, what he would have his Master say, he kind of curled around the mike and did a tortured "I love you, Doctor" which would have caused several shippers' heads to explode. I'm not sure he is aware of the shipping, although I suspect by the end of this weekend, he'll be informed.
He and the interviewer had mentioned therapy at some point, so they concluded that perhaps s14 should include the Doctor and the Master in couples therapy.

pathologic using the word 'chimera' to mean something related to or analogous to 'utopia' was always interesting to me but now I'm learning it's actually an established phrasing at least in political theory—definitely in socialist theory
it's not just a russophone term bc I found it scattered throughout marx. all the way back in 1844 he uses 'chimera' like this: "let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which they are pining away."
then it's found in lenin, there's a number of instances of 'chimera' and 'utopia' being semantically juxtaposed eg. "it is neither a chimera nor a utopia", and there's "speaking of Plato's republic and of the current opinion that it is a chimera"
and the reason I went on this dive is that I found it in anarchist revolutionary nestor makhno's writings "in our day, the anarchist society or harmonious human society no longer seems a chimera"
but as an english speaker, I hadn't come across the word 'chimera' being used in political theory before playing pathologic

Introduction
Hi! You can call me Estee or Estee Barnes (my alias). I've been on Tumblr for a little while, but on a different account that I'm not sharing the URL of. This is my new blog for actually being myself and posting what I want!
Things you will find on this blog include:
Lots of reblog
Cats and other animals
Original art and (mainly OC) fanart
OC vague-posting until I decide to actually show them off
Aesthetics I like (clouds, general "#aesthetic" tag, etc.)
My own original posts
Some polls every now and then
This is my personal blog, so expect a big stew of everything I like. I do have sideblogs for some of my stories, but I'm not making those public. (Those are for if I ever get popular and need to separate them, anyway.)
I'm really hoping to make some mutuals or just have friendly people to interact with. I know there's a lot of cool people on this website from when I was on my other account.
I'm still very new to digital art, so I'm still getting used to all the functions. I'm also new-ish to shading stuff, so my light sources may seem a bit wonky. All part of the process! I'm mainly a traditional artist, but I'll be posting only digital art for the foreseeable future.
The little guy in my profile picture is my blog mascot. He's an old drawing of mine that I really liked, and his name is Smuffin. A general description of him is that he's a yellow-y Kirby looking thing (minus the hands/arms/whatever) with a long nose and a beanie with a white pom-pom.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy your time on this blog. My basic DNI is TERFs and whatnot. General bigots are not welcome here.
Some of my tags (there are and will be many more; go look for the rest):
estee's posts
estqueue barnes
reblogs (considering getting rid of this)
estee's art
smuffin
my asks tag (stuff I've asked that people have answered; these will also come with a URL usually from the person who answered) (New tagging system tho so y'know)
Special OC tags:
estee's ocs
h94 ocs
tbe ocs
rgr ocs
tualoma ocs
Other tags:
estee liveblogs ahit (me watching a no-commentary play-through of the A Hat In Time base game) (ABANDONED - I got impatient LMAO)
The random letters and numbers in my OC tags are acronyms for my stories. I'm keeping it vague (also, it's easier than typing out the whole name).
Smuffin PFP Art Link (for reference)
