Charley confessed her love and Eight said he wished he was dead and then made her eat raw Mystery Meat from the ground

This is the most compelling ship in the whoniverse

Okay but how do you think the Master aka Mr. I-want-to-crawl-inside-the-Doctor's-body would react to the fact that the Doctor and Charley fused into one organism in Scherzo

Like for fuck's sake that girl was living out his dream right there

Oh

Actually, maybe somebody of you nerds here would like this one, haha. Wasn't really noticed on twitter and the like.

A few years ago I was binging Big Finish audioplays and just fell in love with Eight and Charlie era, really wanted to draw something with them back then, and so I did.

my Eight, Tigger and Eeyore Caerdroia cosplay! Eight was not the most pleased they were there but Tigger sure had a great time for all three of them!

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!

here are more details shots of these two under the cut:

so i just listened to Scherzo for the first time and i would just like to say one thing:

What The Fuck?

#i never knew i needed eight to have his own heaven sent #but it was perfect #though eight was kind of a dick in it #you can tell he's not long been seven lol #eight/charley rights #scherzo #doctor who #eighth doctor #charley pollard #doctor who eu

[little-alien-duck]

charley definitely is traumatized but it’s very funny to view her in relation to the doctor and c’rizz who are both like “the darkness within me.... the blood on my hands....” and are so tormented about it and then there’s charley just boppin along saving the day with the power of positive thinking or whatever 

#the doctor and c'rizz are having their real emo boy hours #and charley is like I'm gonna go make popcorn for movie night :) #charley pollard #eight #c'rizz #dw

but I love you

[ID: A detailed digital painting of the Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard in the audio Scherzo, drawing against a stark white background. The Doctor is wearing a green coat over a vest and tan pants, Charley is wearing a striped long-sleeved shirt under dark overalls. They are holding hands, standing apart, and looking at eachother with worry. End ID.]

Wait.

I just realised that the way that Ten treated Martha was pretty much exactly the same way Eight acted with Charley Pollard after he screamed his feelings at her in Scherzo and I don't know how to live with this information.

For people in the tag that don't know, Charlotte/Charley Pollard was the Eighth Doctor's first companion in Big Finish and officially the first human companion that had distintic romantic arc with the Doctor. Russel T. Davies said to her actress that Rose wouldn't have existed if Charley hadn't set the mark. In one hand, I don't think Charley and Rose are similar except for superficial stuff (both blond and nineteen when they start travelling with the Doctor) mainly because I think the former was a way better written character. Charley was more of a proto-Clara in terms of storyline (already dead companion) and sort of like Martha when it came to her dynamic with the Doctor.

But I'm not getting to the point, okay, what I am trying to say is that Ten totally had feelings for Martha and he was pissed about it because he acted with Charley the same way, even after loudly telling her he loved her. It's partly because after the episode when that happened the writers that weren't Robert Shearman chickened out about the romance, but sadly it also set a precedent about how the Doctor would act later in those situations.

Like with Martha, the Doctor acted flirty but pretended he was totally not into her.

Like with Martha, the Doctor acted as if Charley's feelings were the crux problem in their dynamic and that she just needed to stop them... But it was kind of worse because he said asif he didn't tell her he loved her and even admitted it to himself (Scherzo: “Of course, I loved you! I killed myself for you, didn't I? Of course, I loved you! Of course... I love you.” “I love Charley. I am not sure of what that means, I don't know if it is weakness or strength or insanity, but I love her.”)

Like with Martha, it was Charley who eventually decided to leave him (though she regretted it but it was too late and they got separated so Eight had the impression she left him because amnesia stuff).

Like with Martha, the Doctor wanted to keep their dynamic as just travelling companions despite the obvious changes on it. He wanted to keep Charley close but he didn't want to admit there was something more... Sound familiar to the man that admitted that he “made it complicated”?

I don't know if it was intentional on RTD's part, it probably wasn't because his comment to India Fisher seemed to imply he thought Rose was the Charley-inspired character. Except that just showed that he only saw the superficial side of Charley and Eight's relationship because Charley wasn't hailed as some true love of Eight, nor she was compared or used to bring down other companions (indeed the companion after her was strictly platonic, a lot like Donna). Charley and Eight's relationship was very complicated in the same way Ten and Martha was. It wasn't just the girl being in love with the Doctor and the Doctor not being interested. It was the Doctor very much loving that girl back and being extremely cross about it. And all of that is quite reflected in the way that Ten acted with Martha. The flirting, the looks, the way that despite saying he wasn't interested he was literally unable of letting her go.

What I'm trying to say is, Martha's love wasn't unrequited or at least not as RTD wanted it to look because he had his head too far up his first companion's arse. At the end of the day, the relationship reflected in the same way than one of the most complex relationships the Doctor had with another companion.

It was requited and Ten was cross about it.
