Time Lords - Blog Posts

Here’s the thing: We know prolonged exposure to the time vortex can cause someone to become a “time lord” in that they develop the ability to regenerate. We also know that Clara and Me travel for an unknown amount of time in a TARDIS. And we know Clara’s death is a fixed point in time. Since time doesn’t unravel, we know that she at some point after her travels, she returns to face the raven and accepts her death. Because the Doctor is transported immediately following Clara’s death, we never actually see the aftermath of her death.

This leaves the possibility that when she dies by the raven, she actually regenerates!

Anyway I feel like there’s potential for fanfic, some Big Finish exploration, or even bringing a whole new actress in to play Clara in some distant future series.

Alright, but imagine this in the context of 'The Time of The Doctor". Imagine visiting the old man who had protected your town for centuries just goes on with the most complex gibberish ever, and then the sky opens up and the Clock Bosses come out to go kill some pepperpots.

So, the Doctor’s name /might/ apparently be, “Chrístõdavõreendiamondhærtmallõupdracœfiredelúnmiancuimhone.”

And— I honestly don’t know how I found this. One day I just googled “what’s the Doctors name,” and just read whatever I could when I randomly found this on some website. And, I’ve never actually read Lungbarrow, and I’ve also never heard anyone talk about this besides me, so, idk. :/

Anytime I'm concerned about fucking something up, I remember that this made it into an academic text and I suddenly don't feel so bad anymore.

Time Lords can regenerate a total of 12 times, that means there are only 2 doctors left. Peter Capaldi and Doctor 13th (? Doctor Who will maybe over before i die i dont know if i should be happy or sad for that

There was DEFINITELY a less kinky way to tie him up. The Master knew what he was doing.

...consider me intrigued. And curious.

do I go back to my roots and draw river song in such self indulgent ways I get confused messages in my askbox

I couldn't agree more.

This is the plot of Doctor Who

This post is what caused me to put this book on my Christmas list this year. I got it and I’m not super far in yet (I’m in Chapter 5, shortly after the bit with Borusa, actually) but it is entirely as fun as advertised so far! :) 

Honestly I just get so excited whenever they go to Gallifrey, despite the Doctor and all intergalactic tour guides’ apparent consensus that it is a hopelessly dull place. But it’s a place replete with backstory and that’s why I love it. I have an academy-era fic I’ve been working on and I’m already thinking how I’m going to have to revise my portrayal of Borusa based on what I’ve learned in this book. 

And, of course, it does have that distinctive Douglas Adams tone. My dad was surprised to learn that Adams had written for Doctor Who, actually, so that was a fun bit of knowledge to impart. Very fun book :) 

Guys I have a new favorite Doctor Who book

Aye!

(Too lazy to adding the background.. Maybe later..)

Sometimes I’m talking about my cat and someone is like, “Gallifrey, what kind of a name is that?” And I’m just like, “He’s named after the planet of the time lords.” And they just look at me like I’m crazy.
