My husband made me yet another amazing piece of Ritual Pottery—this time in the form of a Labyrinth Stone.

Next, I will ritually smoke the clay with an assortment of precious materials—such as Ghost Pipe, Snake Skin, Thorn Apple, and Bee Comb—before anointing the piece with my personally developed Wisefool's Oil and allowing it to bask overnight beneath the silver rays of the Full Moon. Thereafter, I will utilize it in Hedge-Crossing rites.

(While photographing, a spider walked onto the Labyrinth Stone, and I was lucky enough to capture the moment by chance!)

Commissioned illustration for a short Caerdroia fanfic! (T)

This one was eeeeeeever so slightly out of my comfort zone, but I like how it turned out! Oh, and the musical halo is based on Max Richter's recomposition of Vivaldi's "Spring" 1.

my talented partner @cosmik-homo sowed the coats on the little fellas, including Eeroye's pants and vest! and both of their cravats! their vests are made from the same fabric as my main eight here!

featuring them being in the tardis like they never got to do! i had a great time in Gally 1 this year with these little fellas and hope to bring them next year with some matching ribbens for them!

An abundance of little guys!

I love Caerdroia a lot and I often think how it would go with other Doctors! So, here's the Seven version of it too XD

We have:

Juggling Seven who lives to entertain and make people smile;

Manipulative Seven who's evaluating whether it's wise to get this attached to a human to begin with;

and Affectionate Seven being like "I'M SO PROUD OF YOU ACE".

doctor who is so funny cause sometimes its just like "how did you defeat the mind blast" and you just have to sit there and watch the doctor talk about his mind cheese instead of providing literally any answers at all. god i love this stupid show

the maze (whimsical, confusing) is also the administration building (boring but necessary) is also the castle (gothic, scary, defensive)

ohhhh

no but like i’m obsessed with caerdroia because. even when you try to separate the contradictory aspects of the doctor’s personality, you can’t! even the cheerful, naïve doctor is still capable of being sly and conniving, as the responsible doctor says, and should not be underestimated. the nasty doctor, the part of them most capable of cold, ruthless acts, still utterly cares for charley and is obviously concerned about her in the clock. the same version then mentally torturing kro’ka and then saying to the other, “don’t go all morally-superior on me, i’m part of you, remember that.” and the cheerful doctor simply replying “yes, i’m afraid you are.” even when literally physically separated you cannot carve up these disparate parts of their personality! they are two (three?) sides of the same coin! the doctor does have a smile and silliness that’s covering up deep-rooted questionable morality. but they’re also just sometimes dipping into that morally-ambiguous side from a core place of decency and appreciation. and also they have a responsible balance between the two. none of them are any more the true doctor than another. they’re all true, all at once.

#the doctor is a bundle of simultaneously-true contradictions and i love them so much #doctor who #eighth doctor #big finish #caerdroia #**

Ranking all the main range Big Finish Eighth Doctor Stories

(Excluding Multi Doctor stories)

(With bonus Eight and Charley special releases)

1. Caerdroia: Just delightful. Witty and cathartic-listened to it twice in one week. Such strong writing and acting, everyone has a moment to shine

2. Scherzo: Some of the best acting you will ever hear, stunning sound design and an awesome script. A masterpiece.

3. The Chimes of Midnight: Meticulous plotting and wonderful dialogue, a tight and constantly gripping story. I love the message about the value of life.

4. Seasons of Fear: Highly entertaining journey through history with a memorable villain and lots of quotable lines

5. The Silver Turk- Genuinely scary, stuffed with atmosphere, one of the best Cybermen stories ever

6. The Natural History of Fear: Excellent showcase for great acting and writing with unforgettable twists. I am fond of stories about shifting power dynamics, so this really appealed to me.

7. The Company of Friends: Each story is creative and well-constructed. The Doctor has convincing chemistry with all four companions (though Izzy suffers from weaker writing) Mary's story is an atmospheric highlight and it is amazing to have Fitz off the page for once.

8. The Girl Who Never Was: Does the difficult job of separating a great doctor/companion duo while keeping them both true to themselves by intelligently combining elements of other companion departures. Heartbreaking but satisfying.

9. Living Legend: A perfect slice of pure comedy, the leads are having a ball and are at their most likeable

10. Terror Firma: Gripping, great dialogue, and a twist that blew me away. A bit over ambitious for the run time, but so memorable and quotable.

11. Storm Warning: Energetic opening story which perfectly captures our two heroes from the get go. The setting is great as well.

12. Neverland: Expertly pays off what was set up in the preceding stories, with amazing concepts and can't miss character interactions

13. Other Lives: Love me a pure historical, especially one that gives each of the leads a compelling plot thread. Eight is so sweet in this it hurts.

14. If I Should Die Before I Wake: Great use of nuwho monsters to construct a twisty plot with lots of great moments between the leads.

15. Zagreus: Lives up to its reputation for being confusing, but it is also very entertaining and I admire the ambition. Plus Zagreus!Eight is a must listen.

16. The Witch From the Well: A smart blend of sci-fi and historical elements to tell a creepy and engaging story

17. The Faith Stealer: A solid story uplifted by delightful dialogue and great world building

18. Memory Lane: Does a lot with its off-beat, dream-like setting and I found the conclusion pretty unique while still fitting with the rest of the story.

20. Embrace the Darkness: Creepy concept and sound effects mixed with insight into the Doctor's character. I did get rather irritated with one of the side characters being stubbornly obstructive.

21. Solitaire: A tight, compelling showcase for Charley and the main villain, plus the idea of ventriloquist dummy!Eight is irresistible.

22. Invaders From Mars:A fun historical romp making the most of its inspired setting.

23. The Mummy Speaks!: Fast paced with some great dialogue and action set pieces. Gee the Gorilla is a star.

24. The Stones of Venice: The plot is messy, but it does a good job of continuing to develop the relationship between the Doctor and Charley.

25. Time Works: I just like the vibes on this one, a nice little self-contained fairy tale.

26. Absolution: Like C'rizz himself, kind of a mixed bag, but does a decent job of sending off my poor lizard/insect boy. The ending is a gut punch.

27. The Next Life: I really enjoyed Daphne Ashbrook in this, she's clearly having the time of her life, and she has great chemistry with McGann. Loved the villains ultimate fate. Did feel the leads were a bit out of character.

28. The Time of the Daleks: I like watching how protective the Doctor is of Charley here, and his sassy attitude towards the Daleks. Objectively, a bit of a slow story.

29. The Slaying of the Writhing Mass: Light and breezy story which has fun teaming up the Doctor and a kid for the adventure. Suffers a bit from separating the Doctor and Charley most of the story.

30. The Army of the Dead: A clichéd plot, but worth it to see the relationship developments between the Doctor and Mary.

31. Something Inside: This story is great for people who like hurt comfort. Which I do, though I prefer a bit more comfort. Otherwise, solid story if a little slow

32. The Last: Bleak, but does provide a fascinating look at the leads in extreme circumstances and helped me understand how the Divergent universe works. Did not like how Charley was written in this.

33. The Twilight Kingdom: It forces Charley to come off as irritating for plot reasons, but has some effective scenes and body horror.

34. The Heart of Orion: Improved sequel, with a better story and grasp on the characters than Sword of Orion. Still kind of middling.

35. Eclipse: Pretty unmemorable, if inoffensive; a generic sci fi story. I did like the ending.

36. Minuet in Hell: This is embarrassingly bad in many ways, especially in how women are treated. However, the parts with the Doctor are good, and I love everything with the Brig. Their meeting is fantastic.

37. The Sword of Orion: Objectively, it's perfectly functional. Subjectively, it is really dull. The leads are written to be the most generic Doctor and companion possible.

38. The Creed of the Kromons: This audio made me genuinely regret trying to eat breakfast in the car while listening. It's like they were trying to make the content as unpleasant as possible. Only good moment was the Doctor laughing about how stupid the villains were while they were torturing him. At least someone was having fun (for a moment).

39. Scaredy Cat: Deadly dull. Bad acting choices made by the main cast. The Doctor's moral compass is on holiday; not in an interesting way, just in a baffling way. It feels like the people making this just ran out of time, gave up and released something nobody particularly enjoyed, especially the audience.

Final thoughts: I adore Eight (now my current favorite Doctor), love Charley and Mary, like C'rizz and wish he had been better written. Loved most of these, and could recommend giving all but the last two a listen (the last two are in the running for worst Doctor Who story ever, and I'm pretty easy to please so I only have six or seven stories on that list).

I've been impressed with Big Finish so far, and I look forward to more Eighth Doctor.

Caerdroia is a great story and I wouldn't change a thing about it except I think Charley should have been paired with the flighty Doctor facet for a scene where they disappear into a labyrinth office for an unspoken amount of time while C'rizz is left with the other two Doctors to do plot things

#just for me #also don't contact me about this but. the remorseless doctor facet torturing kro'ka was hot dkfkgkh #caerdroia #audio liveposting

Eight cosplaying Timothy Dalton's Mr Rochester.

(I'm convinced that Eeyore!8 is based on Rochester, so this all tracks)

(this is mostly just to help people remember about funny iconic moments in the divergent arc, the results are mostly for fun and less for winning, but go for it!)

#doctor who #dw #8th doctor #eighth doctor #eight doctor #big finish #8th doctor big finish stuff #8th doctor listenalong #divergent arc #divergent univerce #it was a fight to not include more from Caerdroia because fuck is it a ride from start to finish #heck if i could this would all be from it #but faith stealer too my love #creed of the kromon #scherzo #faith stealer #the last #caerdroia #it was hard to think if i should or not include something from Scherzo but i was like why not

[sacha-da-1]

My brain now uses “Caerdroia” and “Scherzo” as verbs. They are verbs now.

“He got Caerdroiaed!!”

“They’re gonna Scherzo!!”

It’s a disaster.
