7 14 16?

doing the terror for these because it's On My Mind

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

thinking more about this there still isn't a character i hate because i like all of them honestly. but i would like to see a bit less of fanon goodsir and a bit more exploration of his Actual Self. partly because the way he expresses (or doesn't express) empathy is very interesting to me as somebody who experiences A Clinically Interesting Amount Of Empathy.

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time?

choosing a thing i like (partly because i don't read a lot of fic, honestly. i write it and i fold it into a paper aeroplane and out it goes into the wilds). i like that everybody writes hodgson as Literally Never Able To Shut Up regardless of what or who he's doing. just rambling tf on. love that for him.

16. you can’t understand why so many people like this thing?

as last time i answered this one: jopson/little. sorry. just doesn't make sense to me. (i also can't entirely see little/tozer, but not on the same level. at least they actually interact on screen.)

romana/leela, leela/veega ? <3

ship it/don’t ship it ask game

ahh thank you! 😊❤️

Romana/Leela — Ship It

What made you ship it?

I mean. It’s arguable that I shipped it before I’d ever actually heard them interact. I was deeply 👀👀 at the reputation of their dynamic. (hey, I have a weakness for wlw subtextually gay opposites attract relationships)

but there is a difference between “oh I know I’m going to end up shipping this” and “yup, definitely shipping this” and alas I can’t remember when it shifted to the second? certainly quite early. it had to be by Spirit if not earlier, because. well. *gestures at Spirit*

what I do remember: I was concerned about how dismissive Romana was of Leela in Zagreus, how cold she was to Leela (although obviously she does start to thaw by the end). so the warmth between them in Gallifrey was such a relief. yeah of course Romana still has her moments of being a condescending Time Lord, but it was so lovely to realize how much she very much wants Leela around in the Gallifrey series. early Gallifrey Romana is so enamored with Leela and trying so hard to persuade her to stay

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

ohhh how can I possibly summarize coherently?

okay like with Leela/Veega, I’m gonna start off by flailing about how they are so isolated at the beginning of their story. so lonely and afraid to trust. Leela is struggling to find a place where she fits after Andred vanishes, and once she learns the truth, she is so wary about trusting another Time Lord. Romana has been abandoned and betrayed one too many times and is hesitant to call anyone a friend anymore.

but Romana reaches out and offers Leela a place by her side. she gives Leela a home when she doesn’t have one, gives Leela space to process her feelings when she’s hurting and then tries to give her an opportunity to relax and talk through her hurt. she may not be good at saying it, but she shows Leela from the beginning that she is wanted. and Leela, in turn, calls Romana a friend before Romana has accepted that she can have friends. Romana is the President first to everyone else, but to Leela she is a friend first, and Leela seeing her as a whole person is so important.

they promise each other that “you will never be alone, I will always be there.” and that promise is broken so many times. but they always try.

they are willing to fight for each other. to fight to make amends, to heal the rifts that form between them. Romana repeatedly fails Leela, Leela repeatedly walks away, and the messiness there is so interesting to unpack. what will it take to earn forgiveness? is “earning forgiveness” something that’s even possible? how does it feel, to be so angry at someone and miss them so much at the same time?

their relationship has so many ups and downs, twists and turns, it’s not a linear arc. and I love exploring that complicated journey. (and if I let myself get into specific moments this will get super long, so I’m gonna stop here)

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

do I have an unpopular opinion? “I support having no canon ships between main characters, but if they ever decide to canonize one ship, it should be Romana/Leela” may or may not be a popular opinion, but it’s not unpopular.

possibly, that I think splitting them up in series 5 was a good idea? them being split up always gets criticized, and while I think the criticism is justified later, here splitting them up actually means the narrative focused much more on their relationship than say, in series 4. they’re both still integral to the story, and the scenes they have together are so emotionally charged because they’ve been apart. I also think Leela had gone through so much by that point, and Romana was not the support system she needed — walking away absolutely was the right choice for her character.

I'm going to link credit below the images because Pinterest provides none and most of these are designers' work.

(one, two, no credit found :/, four)

as i said, i've been making a lot of design boards lately lol

#hailing frequencies open #sircarolyn #these are fun!! send more!

[thirddoctor]

an opinion that probably shouldn't be controversial, but i think the Eleven is both a slightly uncomfortable caricature villian and completely overrated. like i'm not sure a split personality villain who is ~wacky~ and ~has to be evil bc of the voices in his head~ is the most sensitive characterisation and i think that's a shame bc the idea of all the regenerations living inside a time lord's head is an interesting one

Yeah, I liked the Eleven and thought they did some interesting things with him but some of it was also pretty uncomfortable.

send me Doctor Who opinions

#Replies #sircarolyn #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who

[humandisastersquad]

doctor who asks 4 5 12 ? <3

4. who’s wardrobe would you steal? sarah jane, but especially her SJA-era wardrobe. fashion ICON

5. if you had to take the form of one non-humanoid alien permanently, which one would you chose? not to be a furry on main but cheetahs have been one of my all time favourite animals since i was a kid so i'd absolutely be a cheetah person. which also comes with a bonus telepathic connection with a teleporting cat. fuck yeah

12. what’s a headcanon that’s you forget isn’t actually canon? asexual dr whomst my beloved <3 i mean it's basically canon they said it themself:

re: tags, americans do say schedule but it's the way they say it! americans say skedule, british say shedule and now i feel compelled to watch dr who because i've never noticed jack saying that haha

I... I thought we also say it skedule? I've never really heard anyone pronounce is schedule unless they were posh. I always thought it was like a posh person thing, like the way people pronounce scone and scone either being phone or gone.

But yes, gosh, I've never noticed Jack saying it either. I don't think he says it in Doctor Who, we'll probably have to rewatch Torchwood.

#It's a bit like Peri tho‚ isn't it? #American but uses a fair bit of British slang and pronunciation #sircarolyn

3 13 18 19 ao3 wrapped ? <3

yes of course!

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

i'm certainly proud of finishing around the outside at last 😭💀 but i'm even more proud of getting shipwright and fairbairn out of my head and published. also i think shipwright and fairbairn marked a new milestone in writing for me. i feel like it's marked a change in my writing style that i'll carry with me and keep developing as i move forward 😊

13. What’s your longest work of the year?

according to ao3 statistics, it's around the outside at 57655 words, which i guess i'll accept because even though i started it last september, i wrote/published most of it this year lol

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

well i'd say herc! this was literally the first year i ever wrote anything at length from herc's perspective! i mean, lucy, as you very well know, it's been wildly entertaining to try and get into his head because before this year i. did not really pay much attention to him 😭 but now i'm working overtime at the herc angst factory GHSHGHSH how far we fall...

19. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?

actually, as i write this i have my outline for down the inside (the sequel to around the outside, yes, i know, terribly creative titling here) printed out and ready to start writing on paper, and as part of it i'll dive deeper into douglas and herc's past in the f1 au so... this is definitely going to be the year i properly write herclas after alluding to it so much! i might also have some air england herclas stuff on the art cards as well so stay tuned... it's going to be exciting hehe
