#doctor who lore

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

doctor who but i've never watched it

and so it begins again. the people asked for it. the people got it. i will ensure the people regret it.

i have never watched this show, or seen an edit, but i am a thorough researcher and i feel that i've got the essence of it.

this is what i have gathered. academicians worldwide take note.

Firstly, so I don't anger anyone, I accept and acknowledge that the tardis is blue and not yellow. My misinformation was from a Drarry fanfiction, and I had hitherto regarded Drarry fanfiction as the absolute truth.

There are doctors, and there are at least fifteen of them. At least two of them are David Tennant, which I can respect.

I'm not sure why the doctors are doctors, because I can find no trace of any medical procedure except for one doctor who licks things, which he learned from the previous doctor. If this is sufficient reason, I apologise for doubting their credentials.

On the other hand, if they are doctors thanks to a postdoctoral degree, this is also fine, though I have never seen anyone study anything. There is however a doctor, and there were people upset about her, but the fandom pointed out she set the tardis on fire, which is apparently a very doctor thing to do. Setting things on fire is absolutely something any research scholar would love, so again, apologies for doubting their credentials.

At least one doctor is gay. It is probably one of the David doctors, which checks out. He says someone, I think a dentist, is hot. I envy the maybe-dentist.

A t least one doctor is trans. I was unable to find them. But they exist. Oh yes, the fandom assures me they exist.

David Tennant as well as Ncuti Gatwa were fanboys, first of the show, and second of David Tennant, and thus they got into acting. Just a fun tidbit from me, since I am now the authority on this fandom.

There are time machines with which the doctors have sex by piloting them, which is questionable because the time machines are only partially sentient. I am not sure if the time machines are the tardis. But the tardis is blue, and not yellow, of that I am certain.

There was a stage play. Or maybe that was a metaphor for the production budget of the early seasons. I am not sure, but toddler David Tennant watched it. I assume no one took a 3 year old to a stage play, so through scientific deduction, it must have been a metaphor.

At some point, Death is an agony aunt and they have to spill secrets to it, or drown in a lake of human skulls. Who is this they? It's so obvious that the fandom sees no need to explain it, and neither do I. I do know it though. Of that you may remain certain.

A David doctor has a niece and she likes being his niece.

A David doctor has a best friend named Donna. He kisses her head. She supports his fruitiness. It is wholesome. It killed him when he lost her.

Slight tangent, but younger David doctor looks like Andrew Garfield. Current David in photos does give Ben Barnes energy. Any Wolfstar shippers, I believe you've found the Wolfstar kid. It is David Tennant.

A lot of people are David Tennant. A reliable Pinterest post on Doctor Who, clearly well researched, gave me the statistic that 15% of Doctor Who is David Tennant. From the amount of David Tennant that I ran across in my research, I don't understand it but I don't doubt it, either.

Speaking of Andrew Garfield, he in involved in this somehow. I am not sure how, but you cannot escape Andrew Garfield. He is even a part of fandoms he never acted in.

There is an individual named Catherine, I think she is the actress, but she could be a character. She seems to have much less knowledge about Doctor Who lore than I do. David Tennant finds it funny. Maybe he would find me funny, too.

The doctors installed some things in the tardis, from a wheelchair ramp to a jukebox. I don't know why a jukebox was needed. If I'm honest I don't know what a jukebox is. I don't know what the tardis is. But it is blue, and not yellow.

There is a French catchphrase.

Something happens in Wales. I don't know what it is, but something always seems to be happening in Wales in these fandoms, so I don't doubt it.

There is an old Doctor Who in a wheelchair, and he is happy to see a David doctor.

They go around in space, and do things. Who is this they? You and I both know the answer, so we needn't talk about it.

The show intro is "doo wee doo".

There is an alien who is not a mouse, the alien is The Meep, and uses the definite article as pronouns. David doctor is supportive of this, which is very good.

I found baby Yoda in the show, but apparently they call it a 'goblin' there, and someone doesn't like it.

There is a lot to do with time. There is a time hole, and things happen, and people die and are resurrected. There is danger, but it is fun.

They have CGI, and it is not good, which is the best thing about it. Who is they? Please stop asking me. It is rather obvious and something I definitely know.

Someone's boyfriend dies and the boyfriend is then resurrected but then gets lost with his boyfriend but then is reincarnated as a girl who would still call herself the someone's boyfriend but then she is replaced by the boyfriend but he's different now. I apologise for any errors that have crept it, but the tardis is blue and not yellow.

Someone named Martha is a doctor, and someone is very proud of her for it.

The eleventh and twelfth doctors like bow ties.

David Tennant wants to be ginger. David Tennant always gets what he wants. Who can refuse David Tennant? David Tennant is then ginger.

A David doctor gets a happy ending.

Someone yelled at Neil Gaiman about this. It was a mistake. He said that since it had already been done, he wouldn't want to give David's character a happy ending in S3, that would be a trifle unoriginal.

A lesson to be learned, Good Omens fandom, just a bit of advice from your son, do not yell at Neil Gaiman, it does not go well. Rumour has it he murdered the people who complained about him always wearing black. Of course, there is the fact that he doesn't exist, but that doesn't seem to have stopped him.

The doctors manifest in the previous doctor's clothes, which is apparently so last season. The tardis also manifests. I don't know where, or how. But it is blue, and not yellow.

I know, there was a lot of lore, so many of you thought I wouldn't be able to gather it all. But look how much research I did! I've got it better than maybe-actress-maybe-character Catherine, I'm sure :"]

Anyway, all the major plot points are covered above, so anyone who hasn't watched Doctor Who, feel free to refer to this and impress your Whovian friends with your knowledge! [not to be judgemental, but what a dreadfully Dr Seuss name, I rather like it]

Currently thinking about how the fourth doctor’s regeneration would have been a lot less difficult and traumatic for both five and his companions if Romana had stayed on just a little longer. As a time lady she would probably be familiar with at least basic post-regeneration care and thus have been able to take on the responsibility of his care from the clueless Adric, Tegan and Nyssa. Also, we as viewers would have got to see how time lords cope with and treat the weird post-regeneration after effects.

Man, that would have been cool…

Okay so when the Doctor ran into Donna in Partners in Crime he said some things about how Donna must be special because the universe brought them back together right? Like what are the odds (besides the fact that he keeps going back to present day UK) that he would run into her a second time???

Well now he (10.3) is running into her yet again?!? Like!??!!

Donna Noble is so fucking important that the universe had to bring them together THREE TIMES

And this time supposedly after her memory of the Doctor was wiped?

Donna Noble the most important woman in the universe

How does marriage and heritage affiliation work for Time Lords? I'm guessing its a blah waves hand thing, anything to do with it probably contradicts something else somewehre in the mass of dw lore, but in universe, it makes me curious.

We know that marriage is very much seen as political, for most individuals. A joining between two factions, perhaps, or houses, or chapters, maybe. A demonstration of an alliance, perhaps. This is something I enjoy with the parallels of Time Lord Society and the elites in Western culture in the pre-modern era. I'm someone who studies the Early Modern period so Ik there's a lot to draw comparisons there, and Victorian stuff as well. I'm not that educated on pre that, but I imagine there is as well.

But what I would like to know is how houses and chapters work for future generations. One parent is from Lungbarrow, the other is from Lineacrux - what house are you affiliated with? Chapters, too. If your parents were one Patrex and the other Dromeian, which one would you belong to? Which academy and college would you be affiliated with?

Within the political entrails of pre-modern aristocratic Western human society, the patriarchal nature of society made it simpler. You would be of your father's house and line. But in a society where the roles of father and mother are interchangeable, where one can regenerate into a different gender or sex? That doesn't work there.

Just reached The Magician's Apprentice/Witch's Familiar in my Doccy Who rewatch. The comment Davros makes about "the only other chair on Skaaro" is so unintentionally funny 💀

This is the epitome of Doctor Who right here

Ohhhh UNIT dating controversy~ new dated adventure just dropped in! In Josephine and the Argonauts, the Doctor's exile has already been lifted by the Time Lords, Jo & him have been through their Spiridon misadventure, and they left our universe for Zeus' in October 1973 (p.166) Jo has been the Doctor's assistant for a few years (p.105) and the Master's been stuck there as King Aeëtes for a long time, long before the Doctor and Jo joined him there.

Crazy Fandom Crossovers!

Fanfic or Fanart crossover ideas. In my case I have no ideas for actual plot or even art ideas. If you have a suggestion, you can leave a comment or something! Or if you want to use it, ask.

For me it's Restaurant to Another World x Doctor Who. A food anime and a live action sci-fi show doesn't normally go together. But Restaurant to Another World has dimension travel, multiple alien species, and mysterious portal doors that might be considered bigger on the inside? I think it'd be great, but I have ideas for plot! If anyone wants to give suggestions, or what to use it yourself, you can, but only if you send me a link!

Reblog with your crossover ideas (that you don't mind sharing)

Somebody explain to me where the Fugitive Doctor falls in the doctor time line? It’s got to be post Hartnell, but whereeeeeeee and how does that fit in with Elevens regeneration story with needing more lives.

I’ve pondered this before but it’s once again driving me mad that I can’t figure out what Chibnall was trying to tell me.

Introduction

Hello. I am The Unofficial Archivist of Gallifreyan Culture and Society. I am a Time Lord of the Patrex Chapter, and I have made it my mission to Archive the history of my people (given how many times we've been wiped out, especially recently, and for some reason no-one seems to keep reliable records off-planet.)

If you wish, you may request information that I have collected, and I will do my best to provide it, as long as it is not excessively personal information (chances are I won't have that information, and even if I did, why would I share it? I may make fun of some people, but certain things should never be shared.)

I hope you find this information enlightening.

-✧-

OOC: Hello! This is a blog I'm running for fun, mostly for loredumping and interacting with some rp blogs. This blog also includes a lot of my personal headcanons on Gallifreyan Culture, and I will do my best to indicate whether something is canon, based in canon, completely made up, or outright contradicts canon in the tags.

Also, this introduction post is probably the most formal you will ever see the archivist acting, they've got some strong opinions.

(Also also, since I know the name is bound to draw some TMA fans: Hello, apologies for the deception, but this is Doctor Who brainrot.)

Hope you enjoy, or at least get a laugh out of some of the posts!

Tags:

#Archivist's notes (may also be tagged as #Archivist's note) - Posts that are purely commentary, may or may not include headcanons within the post, usually very opinionated. (These are typically going to be reblogs with commentary added by the archivist)

#Archivist's addition - Lore-related post that is either based in canon or completely made up, mostly headcanons

#Archivist's Reblogs - Exactly what it sounds like, reblogs with little to no commentary from the archivist

#Archivist's asks - Also exactly what it sounds like, any anwsered asks will be tagged with this. These asks are typically also tagged with Archivist's note or Archivist's addition as the responses tend to fall under those categories as well.

(potentially) more to be added

doctor who lore question

Is picking a “The ____” name only done by Renegades or is that just something some Time Lords do

#doctor who #time lords #gallifrey #doctor who lore

[mainlysarcastic]

Ppl are critiquing the 14th Doctor being exactly like 10 again but y’all are forgetting that Doctor Who is literally the dumbest show ever. This show literally never has a reason for anything it does. There is no real cannon. This show has so many inconsistencies that you could fill the Library of Alexandria. Being critical is okay but if you’re critiquing canon you got the wrong show.

With the Time War, and conscription and the army, we know that Time Lords are used as soldiers. But are they being used as simple foot soldiers, or perhaps to they automatically come in as officers. Like what about the lower classes and castes - have the shobogans and technicians and any other castes been drafted first?

I'm wondering if it's like - I've been revising the Songhai Empire for exams recently, and their military works that the infantry is slaves and captives, that kind of thing, while the cavalry is made up of nobility. Wondering if that kind of thing, where the different castes (or even people from other places that... does Gallifrey have an empire? I can't remember, but I know they have off planet territories) are in different like brigades and sections, with the Time Lords being despite still used as canon fodder, still having the much better equipment.
