Seven years ago in 2016, I made a Classic Doctors line-up in a watercolor cut-out style based on the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar - but I never got around to adding in any of the Revival Doctors. Until now, when there was finally enough of them to make it a relatively even split of incarnations on both sides. Interesting to see both the consistency and the improvement side by side in the combined version.

Things that both happen in the same episode of doctor who

(content warning for dark humour and references to various morbid topics)

Things that both happen in the same episode of doctor who

1.A thoughtful and moving depiction of suicidal depression/The Doctor fights a giant invisible chicken

2.An iraq war allegory involving aliens that cut off human skin and wear it/those aliens also fart a lot and laugh about it

3.The Doctor is tortured for billions of years in a metaphor for the incremental nature of moving on from grief/doors are revealed to be canonically sentient and mad at everyone and the doctor makes a psychic link with one

4.The Doctor grapples with the consequences of abandoning his friend because he cannot face the inevitability of her death/aliens make kids into geniuses by feeding them french fries fried in space oil, they are then killed by said french fry oil

5.A man must deal with his loved one's inevitable death from a terminal illness/the doctor flys a sleigh pulled by a flying shark while wearing a santa hat

6.The Doctor accidentally causes his companion to be killed then brought back only to be trapped in a dystopia for ten years mutilated and dehumanized/missy dabs

7.The endpoint of the human race is revealed to be them mutilating themselves putting their heads in spheres and sadistically murdering other humans for fun/The Doctor becomes tinkerbell jesus

8.The Doctor admits that he's seen so many people die that he's lost count and become numb to it/the villains evil plan revolves around burning a sea monsters poop as fuel

9.The Doctor grapples with the ethical implications of the death penalty/a farting alien tries to blow up a town and then escape on a space surfboard

10.The Doctor abandons his companion for 30 years and then erases a version of her from existence against her will/a robot is killed by getting hit on the head by a replica of the mona lisa

#it's a show #doctor who #tinkerbell Jesus took me out 😭✋🏾

Headcanon time:

So your average time lord can sense a persons time line, depending on the individual they are able to see it in more detail, but they can all do this to an extent

The Doctor, however can barely use this ability. Most of their knowledge of timelines and stuff like fixed points comes memorization, not being able to see it in real time. This is part of why they are seen as so reckless by other time lords, because they can see the effect the Doctor’s actions have on the time lines of the people and places they interact with while the Doctor can not

Cave Lords, Part 2: Gallifreyan Geography and Geology

Cave Lords Part 1 was about the biology of the original Gallifreyan species. You might also want to read part 4 of the caste system meta.

Okay, but how your society develops is dependent on more than just biology. The environment’s going to have a big impact, too.

(This time, not a headcanon dump but a canon dump. We’ll get to the interesting bit one day.)

Depending on episode, the Eye of Harmony is either:

A black hole stored inside Gallifrey’s core

A black hole elsewhere in the universe, with a gate to it being stored inside/underneath the Panopticon

A gate to a black hole (that may be either inside Gallifrey’s core or elsewhere) stored inside the TARDIS

A star on the point of collapsing into a black hole, stored inside the TARDIS

Conclusion: the Time Lords actually ran out of pretentious names for things aeons ago, and are simply recycling them and hoping nobody notices.

On a more serious meta-y note:

#4 conflicts with Nine and Ten having to recharge at the Cardiff Rift, so unless Eleven found a way to recreate the technology it can probably be discarded. Even if Eleven did make himself a new Eye (does he still have the Hand of Omega? Because that would, you know, help), the description alone makes it clear that it’s not exactly the same thing. He’s just calling it the Eye out of nostalgia, probably. (That, or ‘I can’t think what to call my cool new star power thingy but I want Clara to be impressed so I’ll just call it the Eye.’)

#3 goes equally well with either #1 or #2, so that solves the TV movie problem.

#1 sounds 112% fucking insane and dangerous as all shit, which is why I tend to assume it’s what’s actually going on. (I do not have a particularly high opinion of Rassilon’s sanity, so. You know.) Why not just hollow out the planet and stick a black hole inside it? While we’re at it let’s rewrite the genetic code of the entire species, commit genocide against the original Gallifreyan race, make ourselves semi-immortal, destroy all traces of our religion and remove magic from the universe. Fun times!

#2 complies with more basic health and safety standards than #1 and makes a degree of sense re: How Not To Destroy Your Own Planet. But see previous comments on the subject of Rassilon’s sanity.

I noticed the discussion earlier about Gallifrey and thought I’d share this little gem I found a while back. From what I know, it’s pretty accurate (or as accurate as can be possible given what there is to work with) based upon the descriptions in the books and comics and what little information the tv show has to offer. Some of it is creative licensing though.

It was found here. More updated versions of the Compendium can be found on the artist’s Deviant gallery here (but is sadly missing these pages).

Cave Lords, Part 1: Speculation on the Biology of the Original Gallifreyan Species

A very wise aardvark once sang to me that you should begin at the beginning, ‘cause that’s the place to start.

So I say, hey!

I’m kind of endlessly fascinated with early Gallifrey. Partly because I’m a huge fan of the bigger picture, and trying to see where the roots of modern issues lie (hello, my name is Charamei and I’m an ancient historian). But also partly just because we know virtually nothing about it.

Besides, as you may have noticed, I’m a total nerd.

(And yeah I’m just gonna call this part 1 straight off the bat because SOONER OR LATER I will start flailing about bath-houses and technology poaching and all the stuff I care too much about, but ALL THAT IS DEPENDENT ON BIOLOGY TO SOME EXTENT so let’s begin at the beginning, shall we, hmm?)

So that Gallifreyan hivemind then, Pt 2

Hah. You weren’t expecting this, were you?

This is the part I actually wanted to write, to be honest. It’s the part I’m trying to hash out for the Whofic.

Last time on So, that Gallifreyan hivemind then, we went on a ramble around the Whoniverse and concluded, in a leisurely manner, that Time Lords’ primary sense is telepathy and that basically everything on Gallifrey is hooked up to the Gallifreyan collective subconscious, because Time Lords are lazy bums and can’t be bothered to walk two feet to pick up a chair and move it into position. (No, really.)

This time: Hold on, what about people who aren’t attached to the hivemind?

So, that Gallifreyan hivemind then

I prefer to call it a ‘collective subconscious’. Mostly because 'hivemind’ in mainstream sci-fi/fantasy in general and also in Doctor Who in particular tends to signify something different: a 'hivemind’ is usually either a collective consciousness, the sort of entity that refers to itself as 'we’ and whose individual pieces have no distinguishing personality traits at all, or something more like a beehive. Gallifreyans are definitely not the former and probably not the latter. Heck, something doesn’t even have to have a conscious mind to connect to the Gallifreyan hivemind, unless their chairs (doors, windows, etc) are significantly more intelligent than is strictly necessary.

The Gallifreyan Caste System, Part 3: Pretty Pictures And Practical Applications

Last time on The Gallifreyan Caste System, we overcomplicated everything, came up with a coherent-looking Gallifreyan social structure, and then I promised you pretty pictures and ran away.

Well, I’m back now. And with photographic evidence, too!

Start the tape.

[Warning: this part is image-heavy.]
