[qvid-pro-qvo]

#regenerates through time #always destined to die #but coming back again and again #each time more powerful #always ready to burn to help others #i don't know not a full thought but that's why someone else should write it #top gun: maverick #tgm #natasha trace #phoenix #natasha phoenix trace

Ok so in "The End of Time" Wilfred Mott sees the 10th doctor at Donna's wedding and is basically like "See? Nothing bad happened to you, buddy! You're still in the same body!" but then 10 says he'll still regenerate, just not yet.

It would be so hilarious (to me personally) if Wilfred greets the Doctor in the 60th specials with that same idea, like "haha its been like 10 years and you're fine! You are still the same!" and then the Doctor is just like:

#they'll have regenerated four times since seeing wilf last #our fave alien has been through so much #doctor who #wilfred mott #bernard cribbins #dw #doctor who 60th anniversary #the doctor #regeneration #david tennant #doctor who 2005 #tenth doctor #the end of time #doctor who 60 #60th anniversary #new who

watching the first 2 episodes of frieren last year shook me so bad i still can't get myself to continue it, but between what i remember of it and the nightmares episode of dungeon meshi i can't stop thinking about the ways laios would prepare marcille for his death. what would he leave behind to remind her that he (and by extension all the people she loved and who loved her) are still with her in spirit, even if not in body?

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #marcille donato #i'm a laios & marcille are a secret third thing that can't be defined by language truther but make of this what you will i guess lol #if falin does turn out to have an extended life span due to dungeon shenanigans laios would rest easier but he'd def still worry #dungeon meshi spoilers #she might come across the regenerated kensuke at some point but that one was an accident 😅 #i still think he'd train some dogs to accompany her #maybe make a promise w one of the castle staff & their family to keep training dogs through generations so there'll always be a rag for her #would he leave annotations in her magic tomes for her to find years down the road? #oh and he'd rope everyone else in definitely #he'd ask everyone in the party and maybe even kabru et al. & toshiro et al. for good measure #oh and what i meant by frieren shaking me was w each ep i found myself sobbing uncontrollably halfway through #i loved it but it was A Lot for me emotionally #i do remember seeing a post about how one of the reasons himmel had no problem having statues of him made #was bc he was doing it partly in the hope that when frieren sees one she'll remember him & their adventures together #that their time together wasn't just a blip in her life #he may physically be gone but his memory lives on #that really resonated with me #calemonsito notes

I love what we got with the master trying to be the doctor in potd but I will admit I wouldve liked to see not even so much the interactions between Yaz and whittaker!master (though they would be amazing im sure), but the interactions between Dhawan!doctor and yaz

From Yaz's perspective. I want to see the distrust and disbelief, then wariness and an uneasy acceptance, trust but in an ever so cautious way. Then that moment where she just Knows. This is her doctor.

From the doctors side, I want to see desperation and fear that she's losing yaz. I want to see a tiny careful bit of hope, and then utter relief when Yaz finally sees its her

I just know they would be adorable together too

#doctor who #dhawan!doctor #whittaker!master #au #this would be especially good in an AU where yaz doesnt leave when the doctor regenerates #have it be that the doctor and yaz initially decided that when this time came yaz would go home (a la canon) #only for yaz to insist shes staying. she's already been through this now and she knows that no matter what #the doctor will /always/ be Her Doctor #she was just afraid before that regeneration would mean losing the person she loves

tales of the tardis is enough for me, it is, it really is, after all those years, jamie & zoe finally got their memories back & if that's the last we see of jamie mccrimmon that was fantastic, it was more than enough, there is & now will always be a conclusion

but

if i had to bring any classic who companion back to new (new?) who it would be jamie, it would always be jamie because the idea of jamie meeting a modern doctor sends me just a tad feral, just a a little bit balls to the wall feral.

#jamie mccrimmon #even though i would sell my soul to sarah jane imagine jamie in school reunion #can you imagine if jamie had been in the giggle #i dont know how they would have transported him through time but #yet i think about him being there and meeting fourteen and donna #fourteen sees him and just stops working #donna sees him looking at jamie and she hasnt seen the doctor look at anyone like that aside from rose #she said it was like a furnace looking back at the time she was the doctordonna but when she was the doctordonna i have always thought #she must have seen the doctors memories of jamie i headcanon she saw those memories quite clearly #i wonder if the doctor ever thought about what the time lords did to jamie when he had to wipe donnas mind #imagine donna and jamie interacting #donna wants to dropkick the time lords #donna and jamie being there when the bi regeneration happens jamie is with him this time they wont be torn apart again #apparently all doctors have been hatched across the galaxy the bi regen was the miracle of rebirth #so jamie does leave fourteen and donna #but we see him running towards a different tardis that just landed #because as soon as two was respawned i just know he went back for jamie #jamie gets to spend the rest of his life with his doctor #i love mel i love her i love her i love her but she just pops to earth here and there because glitz isnt gone 😩 #they are still causing havoc in space together #i know his actor passed away but it still hit me hard knowing the character is now gone too 🥺 #he may have been an antagonist at various points but that dude was snazzy #classic who #doctor who #whoniverse #this is what happens when i dont sleep for 24 hrs

usually i’d say all shows should come to an end eventually. but doctor who? this shit’s lasted 60 years, it better fucking last 60 more

#the one show that should never ever end #like actually #the way this show is set up is perfect for that #writers get switched out. doctors get switched out. companions get switched out. tardis sets get switched out #even sonic screwdrivers get switched out #like all it needs to do is continue to be a show about an alien traveling through time and space with companions and saving people #just make the main character act like the doctor and bam. job done. show lives on #even THEN the doctor’s personality varies a bit for each regeneration so that’s even open for some changes over time #like it’s so easy to just. keep this show going forever #yknow ???? #i hope we make it to like the 500th anniversary one day lol ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 #doctor who

amyeleven fivenyssa crossover

#the three people who would like to read this get excited and then get disappointed because i never finish anything #but the thing about fivenyssa is that she's his daughter #and it's supremely fucked up #and the thing about amyeleven is that she's his Everything and it's supremely fucked up #and also she's the one who asked the doctor if he's a father and well. she'd get it the second she saw nyssa #i know that line was SUPPOSED to be about susan and susan's hypothetical parents but in my heart it's about nyssa of traken #and the thing about eleven and nyssa is that they'd have extremely deep and intimate conversation about being the last of their kind #she's probably the only person in the universe that he could talk about it truly openly with and it'd be like. #nyssa I'm so sorry i never fully understood you. i couldn't. i do now #and she'd be so SAD about it because she never ever wanted that for him #she never WANTED him to understand her like that because the only way he ever could was to go through the same thing #and nyssa would never consider that price to be worth it #but now she knows it's going to happen and she can never tell her own doctor #and it's devastating devastating but also deeply healing for them both but especially eleven #.... #and the thing about amy & five is that she'd know him. of course she would. she'd Believe he's the doctor and Understand about regeneration #and immediately tell him about the first time she met Her raggedy Doctor and he'd be like. you shouldn't be telling me this but #he'd be stunned and captivated by the amount of love and also possesiveness in her voice and wouldn't be able to bring himself to stop her #and she'd see straight through him and make him feel naked and raw and at the end she'd hug him goodbye and kiss him on the forehead #the way eleven does her because he's a CHILD to amy compared to eleven and he can't hide that #and the thing about eleven and five is that they'd each be deeply ashamed of the other #and finally #the thing about amy and nyssa is that they'd make out sloppy style #..... #............ #voices offscreen: #'i can't believe you called her my daughter and then made out with her' #'yeah and how many times have you made out with my daughter what's your point' #lavender thoughts #dw

so I had been thinking about the many similarities between the Chiss and the Time Lords, and between Thrawn and the Doctor as well, and now I need a Doctor Who AU where Thrawn takes Eli as his companion to show him the wonders of the universe

#i mean both species have in their moral code to not interfere in other people/species conflict #and both are pretty much elitarist and have a very unique technology to travel through space (and time) #but if we want to talk about thrawn and the doctor #well: both found a human to take as their protégé #both are very fond of art and love to study their enemy before formulating their attack move #both have a kind of intelligence that many others don’t understand and are able to make connections few could have predicted #both try to prevent useless deaths- ofc the doctor more than thrawn but still #and yes the doctor would never be an imperial or do the bid of a tyrant but he has bloods on his hands too #some regeneration more than others #so yeah all this to say I need time lord thrawn to find tech analyst eli and show him present past and future #just to see the wonder in his eyes #doctor who #star wars #thrawn #thranto #and as a post just reminded me #both thrawn and the doctor are outcast #who basically left their people to be among humans and different aliens

Started as a doodle about how Jonny's probably got a lot of scars, ended with me having a headcanon that he 100% lounges around the ship shirtless

#tw smoking #cw smoking #the mechanisms #jonny d'ville #art #digital art #btw had to actually think about how I think their regeneration works #and most wounds (especially fatal ones) scar and won't go away unless the entire area AROUND it has be be regrown #which resets their bodies (keeping scars gained before or during mechanization) #most scars end up being reset BUT sometimes scars will fade completely bc that's possible it just takes awhile #but some scars are so thick/large that they only go away with a total reset #they'll often throw themselves into the engine/other extreme deaths to reset on purpose bc after a certain point #too much scar tissue is painful/makes it hard to move #normally after getting a burn as large as the one on his back Jonny would immediately try to reset bc burn scars suck #but he doesn't do it this time bc he loves bringing up the fact that tim dropped a grenade on him by accident and needs a reason to #so the scar can stay #really large/severe/or old scars will sometimes last THROUGH a reset but will be less than they were #so when jonny eventually DOES reset the scar doesn't actually go away it just heals enough that it doesn't hurt to lift his arm up #his top surgery scars look thin but if you touch them the scar tissue is super thick so they last through resets #his most recent scar is the stab through the ribs from Ashes

I need to work on schoolwork but my brain came up with a kickass HC ab how immortality works in my mechs au

#the duck quacks #yknow how theres a headcannon about how the mechanisms have *elritch energy* fused into them to cause the mechanisms immortality? #i took it a step further (and also applied lots of sorts of immortality for diff characters) #immortallity (which is basicly advanced regeneration/bringing back from dead/stop of aging) is caused by exposure to eldrith shit #altho it isnt completely immortality due to the fact said energy runs out after some time #it happens very slow but it will happenn #(Basic eldritch exposure is what happened to Lyf in my fic and caused their immortality) #vampires are also born from eldritch exposure. but its more like a disease spread through blood #vampires fangs can suck out blood or inject their own blood in thte victim #(injecting causes immortality) #the mechs are immortal due their mechanisms being exposed to eldritch materials before being used #(Jonny and Nastyas immortality is also a bit thru blood transfusion from doc carmillla (she didint figure out mechanizing fully yet)) #also king cole was immortal due to the fact hed expose people to eldritch stuff for a bit and then eat them. #it wasnt the most effective but it extended his lifetime quite a bit! #I also have additional theories related to Briar Rose Loki Odin and Olympians for this fic #Briar rose is v dependent on said fics lore. Loki/Odin werent fully immortal but they did have a fuckton of exposure which did some stuff #and the olympians have the whole Sphinx disease going on which works a bit differently #(it is sorta a more sosphicicated way than king cole did but also way more complicated) #i might write a full fic about it someday from teh perspective of a researcher on immortality #(its already in the works coz i am doing way less on my schoolwork than i should)

In this world, the storm will pass

Alec sat atop the railing of the balcony, looking up at the sky as it slowly dims to reveal the countless stars awaiting the night to be seen, to twinkle at the life below the vast sky. A cigarette placed between his lips, smoke rising up to the stars that he can only dream of reaching someday.

His eyes were vacant, what was once a vibrant blue, like the sky in a cloudless sunny day, is now merely as dull as the sky in the fog, in the stormy weather that never left. But it's getting better now. Slowly, slowly… Like clouds drifting in a windless day, moving an inch, yet moving still. Slowly… The storm will pass. But for now, he'll stay in the eye of it.

Standing beneath the stars surrounded by a quiet storm all kept inside. In this world, everything is the same, yet different. In this world, everyone is alive, safe from a greater danger than life itself. In this world, Alec is supposed to be dead, yet here he is… Someone else. In this world, his family lost Alec, yet in his world, he lost everything.

So what is he doing here then? Intruding in a world that didn't need someone like him. An Alec that was doomed to have nothing, living in a world that has moved on from Alec's death. He doesn't know, doesn't understand. He gave up understanding the world ever since that day, the day where it collapsed, leaving him with nothing but ruin. He always thought that, it would be better for him to have lost himself to the forest instead than be brought here by whatever force, whatever power, whatever God, who thought it entertaining to put him here, in this world. Is it fun? His life… to be toyed with by fate, by the world itself, is it fun? He gave up wondering about it, gave up on an answer he didn't need to hear.

Alec took a drag on his cigarette, frankly, he isn't one to smoke, he isn't one to drink, he isn't one to do any such things. But what does it matter anyway? His body… won't sustain any damage from it anymore. It's different. Everything is. Nothing was ever the same ever since his world started collapsing. Nothing was. So it didn't matter, whatever damage he does to his body didn't matter, it'll just heal it all anyway. Leaving not even scars on his skin, what a picture perfect body, devoid of scars. One would wonder if he ever went through such things, when there's nothing for him to show for it.

Alec glanced down, it was pretty high. This house, this balcony on the third floor. He gave up on that thought long ago though, it was the only constant he has left, his will to live, even after everything. Foolish, isn't it? To continue wanting to live even after all that, for what reason really? He doesn't know anymore, his memory isn't as good as it was before. So much so, that he's guilty of forgetting what his family looked like. Had he not been living in this world, he would've forgotten their names too.

Alec looked up again, to the pitch black sky, the stars brightly twinkling at him. Back in his world, he found solace in the night, in the stars above. He thought of them as his family watching over him, was it a myth he read back then? The souls of your loved ones becoming stars in the night sky. What of it now, however? In a world where everything is okay, is his family's souls still amongst the sea of stars, watching over him like they did before? What would they think of him now? Would they be happy? Glad? Relieved? Or would they be mad? Upset? Betrayed? To see Alec be happy with someone that's them yet aren't at the same time?

He doesn't want to think about it.

Just as Alec brought the cigarette to his lips to take another drag, the hand of another reached out to take it from his own, he didn't need to turn around to know who it belonged to. He knows it already, by heart.

“You okay?” Ray stood beside him, leaning on the railing as he threw the cigarette to the ground. Putting the fire out with his slippers.

“You're going to ruin that pair soon if you keep that up…”

“Well, that's fine. I forgot to grab the ashtray on the way.” Ray hummed, “You dodged my question again though.” His voice had a slight teasing tone, mouth formed into a small grin as he glanced at Alec.

“It's always the same answer, anyway.” I'm fine. That's the answer he always gives to that question, every single time. He knows it's a lie, they know it's a lie, but what else can he say when words aren't enough to convey whatever he's been feeling ever since then?

“I don't mind that. Maybe, once a lie is repeated enough times, it'd come true someday.” Ray chuckled, “Though that sounds a bit dangerous, now that I think about it.”

Silence fell between the both of them, it isn't heavy nor is it tense. It was comfortable, like the breeze of the night. Ray looked to the sky, and Alec… he looked to Ray's eyes. It was as dark as the night sky, reflecting the countless stars twinkling high above with a light all too familiar yet not at the same time. This is Ray, yet not his Ray. That is Ray, one who've turned into light, amongst the sea of many others, high above the sky, a bright twinkling star. In a way, he did become a ray of light, just not that of sunshine as he would always say.

Alec moved his eyes towards the sky once more, and the two stayed there, in the silence, below the night sky, underneath the stars, they bathed in the light of a hundred promises, a thousand wishes and a million hopes for a future gentler than their present.

#ariawrites #ariaoc #ariaoc: Alec #ariaoc: Ray #angst #uuuuhhhhhhh how do you tag this thing. nothing triggering in it??? i think? other than angst it aint that heavy #well theres smoking so ig i should tag that one then???? its been waaay too long since i did smth like this #tw smoking #also also to have a lil more context bout whats happening here. basically this is set in an au where the alec here #belonged in a world that ''collapsed'' like some doomsday thing. Stuff happened and everyone he loved is practically dead #hes one of the survivors. he gained some regeneration/self healing from the Event. a lot of things changed and hes desperate #to cling onto anything that Didnt change. a constant to find comfort in. and thats his will to live despite *gestures vaguely* everything #anyway when he reached his limit he was just thinkin of going into a forest to walk. to be lost. or just anything #but theeen he fell through a portal (i call em stray portals in my universe. they pop up randomly) that appeared below him #That portal led him to This world! where everything is alright. no world ending event happened. everyone is alive. except #for one thing... the alec in this world is dead. and his family were still in the process of moving on from it when suddenly #this Guy appeared that looked Very much so identical to alec so Things happened. and theyre all in the process of healing #alec is healing from the Event. the others are healing from their alec's death and all of em are relearning to love #alec is relearning to love these ppl that are his family yet not at the same time. his family is learning to love and give space to #this alec without seemingly replacing their own alec that had died. its a pretty delicate process of healing from grief

[quietwingsinthesky]

even has killed people—though perhaps that depends on your definition of people—and it’s not. how do i put it. it’s never cool, you know? it’s never a moment where this puts them in control of a situation, where they can show off some skill in putting someone down. because even is not, generally, very powerful, and they do not know how to do this.

it just gets messy.

which is one of those terrible reasons why they… well, they don’t like the master, but they have to like that she can do it easy, quick, clean. she can give even the ability to, as well, when she wants. if for no other reason than it means that they won’t have to scrub it raw off their skin later, they appreciate that.

#but if left to their own devices? #what im saying i think is: the doctor 🤝 even: has killed someone with a rock #and of course i say whatever your definition of people is because you’d have to ask if you count daleks as people #i’m honestly not sure if even does. they might have pre-getting launched into a pocket dimension war. they really might have. #very expansive definition of people on account of them not really feeling like they should count as one anyway so therefore if they do. lots #of things must. including the murder trash cans. they’re flesh on the inside aren’t they? they speak they think they hate. #but i think they stop. because it’s better not to. it’s easier. and guiltless too. not like a dalek stops to xonsider your personhood. #but to be very very clear. even has also killed just. guys. #actually i have in my notes here that the tone-setting moment of this whole. arc? #is that it really starts with a jailbreak. predicated on lackluster security for one of the prisoners because they are *just* a human. #and the other is. well. and there’s a war that won’t end that there’s no escape from now to worry about. #but the tone-setting part yeah. is that this really starts with even befriending someone like them through the bars. time lords need #janitors too you know? someone has to clean up around the cells. and they let even out for a minute because of that friendship. #as you can imagine. even is not going back in the cell once they’re out of it. no matter what they promised. and their ‘friend’ is going to #alert someone. and. #you need to understand most of all from this first point. that even doesn’t know that regeneration isn’t A) an inherent trait of gallfrey #rather than a granted one and B) infallible. that’s the cslculation they make. that whatever damage they do won’t matter because they’ll #come back from the dead. ………they do not. #it’s reslly a ‘congratulations! you broke free of the narrative constraints (and safeties) of standing near the doctor! murder is now #unlocked! good luck!’ moment akdhfkshdkfj #anyway. <3 makes their life worse on purpose <3 #dw oc

[burnedself]

not gonna lie the idea of an oc incarnation is extra appealing because, at least to me, 13-14-15 seem to have this tangible character continuation whereas 12 feels so isolated at times so I'd love to have a 13 that's a more direct continuation

But to loop back to the topic of 'voice', trying to think of actors that feel right seems borderline impossible

#;out of time. #like. I understand why 13 feels like such a reset. its a new era its a new showrunner its a new jumping on point #and props to russell for making 14 feel like SUCH a continuation of 13 #15 seems like he might have shades of 12 which makes me VERY happy but I digress #but I am also. endlessly fascinated in exploring regeneration through incarnations. like on a narrative level. you know??? #maybe the 'tism is 'tisming idk #but then its like. I am having such a hard time envisioning an incarnation that follows 12 through that lens #like an actor (or actress) I can look at and just go 'That's it. I can hear 'I am the Doctor' through their mouth' #like I can think of like one or two but idk if thats just recency bias at work so I'm just aaaaaaa #anyway Im gonna go play some games to reset the ol' brain I'm lurking tho

[im-the-queen-of-stardust]

Sick and twisted that some Christmas specials are regeneration episodes. Because I watch the specials to get into the Christmas spirit but I have to hype myself up emotionally to watch the ones where the Doctor regenerates. I guess I could just not watch them but I still like them! They just break my hearts.

#but i wont watch end of time again i think #already watched that last month for my doctor who rewatch #and like theres only so much david tennant regenerating i can take in a certain time frame #today will be hard enough #have i mentioned im not ready? #at least jodies is not a christmas special #not gonna lie missed those during her run but at least that means i dont have to go through that in the christmas time #doctor who

Is anyone else terrified that Ruby is going to fall through the world and become a new person???

#it can't just be me #regeneration flags not death flags #like the number of times people have asked her who are you this volume #and Alyx is the story of the girl who fell through the world #so she regenerated at least once??? #and the end of the volume into is Alyx and crescent rose being washed up at the start again #screams to me that ruby's gonna have to do it again #low key afraid she will regenerate into summer rose #the person she always wanted to be #BUT ANYWAY #RWBY #RWBY9
