the funniest thing about Steven Moffat is the way he lives rent free in the heads of people who stopped watching Doctor Who ten years ago. you can make the most innocuous DW post ever that has absolutely nothing to do with him, and if it gets enough traction sooner or later folks will start talking about how much he sucks on it. I like the guy and I don't even think about him as much as these folks seem to

#anyway. really excited for his upcoming episode :) #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who

[thirddoctor]

you guys need to open your hearts to more Crispies 😔

How you count your Crispies is up to you! Doesn't have to be separate incarnations, just unique versions.

#Ranger's polls

[thirddoctor]

He shows up on Skaro to make his alliance with the Daleks pre-Frontier in Space but didn't really think it through and they just exterminate him on sight and he has to try again.

on the subject of Master incarnations, I continue to be a "Delgado was a very early regeneration" truther

#he's like 'well this is embarrassing' and regenerates into the same body to avoid any awkward questions #Replies #animate-mush #Ranger yells about the Master #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who

[thirddoctor]

that's pretty much my headcanon, actually! idk about every regeneration (I mean in BF canon Beevers was definitely his own guy before getting fried so maybe he switched it up occasionally), but I think most of the "missing" incarnations are just Delgado. for all we know there might even be multiple regenerations within Three's era and we just can't tell because he didn't change

#which means the rest of incarnations in that cycle could have all been Crispies. who can say #Ranger yells about the Master #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who

[thirddoctor]

Absolutely. Also I think The End of Time would've been improved immensely by Crispy!Simm.

Here's how I'm counting them:

Pratt!Crispy - the OG

Beevers!Crispy in Keeper of Traken - obviously the same incarnation as Pratt, but is he a separate Crispy? My heart says yes

Ainley!Crispy in The Velvet Dark - I can't remember how he got fried but he is and that's what counts

Ainley!Crispy in A Town Called Eternity - separate instance of crispification caused by the events of Planet of Fire

Post-Ainley Beevers!Crispy - first appears in Dust Breeding after losing his Traken body

Post-Roberts Beevers!Crispy - don't remember how he happened but he exists

Delgado!Crispy in Legacy of the Daleks - got shot by Susan. Meant to be Pratt!Crispy but this story has since been contradicted by Big Finish

Delgado!Crispy in Doorway to Hell - he gets badly burned at the end of this comic and tries to regenerate

Other possibilities that I didn't count:

Pre-Crispy Beevers - he appears in The Two Masters, but I didn't include him because 1. he's obviously the same version as Pratt/Beevers and 2. he's not crispy

AU Beevers in the Warrior's reality - again, didn't count him because he's not crispy

If I'm missing any Crispies let me know!

#there were also some almost-Crispies #as I recall Roberts was going to look more and more decayed over the course of the movie but that ended up not happening #and Steven Moffat originally wanted The Curse of Fatal Death to link between Frontier in Space and The Deadly Assassin #Ranger yells about the Master #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who

[thirddoctor]

guys come on are you even considering the Ainley Crispies? the Delgado Crispies?? what about all the post Keeper of Traken Beevers Crispies?

How you count your Crispies is up to you! Doesn't have to be separate incarnations, just unique versions.

#Ranger yells about the Master #Ranger's polls

[thirddoctor]

the answer I went with was 8 btw but I could've gone up to 10 or higher if I was being especially generous in how I counted

#listen. even I don't know what the correct answer to this is #but I guarantee it's more than you think #Doctor Who #Classic Who #The Master #Crispy!Master #Ranger's polls

[thirddoctor]

[Ignore the previous poll if you saw it; I wanted the poll to go for a week instead of a day]

Idea stolen from @sillylotrpolls:

Counting all media, and you may take as generous a definition of companion as you like. To specify what 'number of characters' means in this context, if one character has multiple names, (fr'instance Bruce Wayne/Batman) that character only counts once. Otoh, multiple different characters with the same title, (ex. Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, et. al.) might all be Robin, but they each count as separate characters.

As always, feel free to reblog for wider reach.

#managed to get into the 90s but I could possibly go past 100 if I thought about it more #love all the people going 'wait how many companions are there in Doctor Who???' in the notes #the answer is A Lot once you start counting the expanded universe #Doctor Who

this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny
