Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
INKed WIP (what color should the unicorn be? And what does the moon look like?)
Rose: Wouldn’t it be cool if unicorns were real?
Nine: Oh they’re real. They live on the moon of Kapinteen. They used to summer on Earth back way back in the day.
Rose: …!
I’ll see you later.
Not if I see you first.
Doctor Who AU: The Doctor and Rose pick up a stray Clara to go werewolf hunting with them.

Finally having breakfast…so I guess brunchm #brunch #watermelon #orangejuice #platanos #frijoles #chickensandwich #food
Doctor Who AU: Clara tries to protect Nine from a Dalek but ends up dying in the fight.
Can we talk about this for a second? Because this is not okay. The Doctor looks like he’s about to cry because ROSE is dead, not Clara.
NOPE NOT OKAY DALEK IS ABOUT ROSE AND THE DOCTOR NOT CLARA AND THE DOCTOR JUST BECAUSE MOFFAT THINKS HE CAN REWRITE THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF DOCTOR WHO DOESN’T MEAN I’M OKAY WITH SEEING SHIT LIKE THIS (via aaauleta)

So I’m a day behind watching the finale but I wanted to get a couple of things off my mind.
I love good story telling. I love feeling like I know what’s going on inside a characters head. I want to get to know the people who are the focus of the story and then I want a good plot. The plot ca be…
Fic: Blindsided on Some Idle Tuesday
Pairing: Ten/Rose
Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort
A/N: So remember that fic war post I blogged yesterday morning? This was the first prompt I received It was a doozy! I hope I did it justice, even if I couldn’t quite keep to the letter of the prompt. I hope she forgives me. ;) Oh, I also set it in America instead of London.
They didn’t take enough days like this. It wasn’t his fault, or hers, exactly. Rose had just as big a thirst for adventure and running that he did. But she didn’t have the same stamina that he did and sometimes she needed a break, even if he had to be the one to suggest or insist on it.
The Doctor decided, after their run in with the Beast on Krop Tor, that he needed to insist more often, though, because spending time with Rose where they could relax was nice.
They were out at an ice cream shop, somewhere in America. He couldn’t remember if this was Idaho or Nevada or Wyoming or Montana… all those states tended to get jumbled together in his recollection. There were waving expanses of grassland, mountains beckoning in the distance and a sweet breeze blowing through a cloudless sky. Rose had been so delighted with the destination that his hearts had swelled as he watched her go on and on about “finally getting to see real America”.
The Doctor had tried pointing out that they’d been here before but she’d waved an impatient hand, insisting that an underground bunker in Utah didn’t quite count. This was a medium-sized city in the middle of America and all that came with that; Walmarts and fast food restaurants and enormous automobiles and a Starbucks on every corner. She’d begged him to take her someplace that served ice cream and he’d been more than happy to indulge her since it was a warm day and ice cream sounded marvellous.
He’d held her hand as they walked down the street lined with shops together, enjoying her nearness and the way her fingers linked so easily with his. The Doctor was soothed by her nearness, stimulated by the texture of her skin against his, spellbound by her flirtatious grin. He could feel his resolve to keep himself distanced from her waning more with each passing day. Would this be the day where he finally gave in?
Questions:
1. Why is Moffat writing a new story about the Doctor’s identity and bringing back his characters repeatedly “self-indulgent,” whereas RTD bringing back all his characters and companions (more than twice), absolutely fine and cool?
2. Why is Moffat creating a “hidden” incarnation to explore the Time War “disrespectful,” whereas RTD literally creating the Time War and destroying countless species and characters from the Classic series absolutely fine?
1. Idk about other people but I haven’t seen anyone saying that bringing back his characters is self indulgent. No one has any complaints with Moffat bringing back River or Vastra or Strax, etc. What is self indulgent is taking your character and inserting her back into 50 years of DW history. Self indulgent is making her the very reason he choose his TARDIS in the first place. Self indulgent is making her ‘save’ the doctor over and over through time, reducing the importance of all the companions who have saved his life before. Self indulgent is the difference between a plot like Bad Wolf, where Rose sends herself back and forward through the time contained within that writer’s control of the show, and a plot like this one, where Clara is inserted throughout the entirety of a show that he did not write, which was previously to most extents self-contained.
2. RTD choosing to write in the Time War was in large part WHY Doctor Who was renewed in the first place. Part of his pitch to bring back Doctor Who was to “remove “excess baggage” from the mythology such as Gallifrey and the Time Lords”. The show never would have gotten back on the air if Davies hadn’t come up with a pitch that included the Time War, and the removal of Gallifrey from the plot of the show. There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between doing that to get the show back on air, while still respecting prior canon as RTD always did, and going back and adding in an entire new regeneration and messing with the shows established chronological canon that is disrespectful. I’m also not sure what you mean by RTD apparently “destroying countless species and characters from the Classic series”. The only species/characters that were “destroyed” were the Daleks and the Timelords, both of whom were actually FROZEN, not destroyed, and came back. The Daleks multiple times, in fact.

A little bonus for all of us… if this doesn’t smoulder, then I don’t know what does.

I’m calling bullshit on the scene with Clara and the First Doctor.
Huh. Well, season finale thoughts.
the moment i stopped liking River Song was when Ten said “i am the Doctor” and she replied “not yet”. i was fucking furious. but yeah now i’m ok with her but still not a fan.
totally valid reason to not like her. Actually, i intensely disliked her pretty much all her behaviour in SitL/FotD, especially the treating Ten like a lesser Doctor because he hadn’t done… I don’t know, what’s Eleven actually done to make him so much MORE the Doctor anyway?
