Psychic Torment !
I was thinking about the Spock/Autism parallels and how being on a ship full of humans who cant understand boundaries they don't necessarily require for THEIR sanity could end up being overstimulating... Being hypersensitive to every loud room you walk into, every brush of an arm. An inexpressible, invisible burden, etc etc.
Finally have all 4 life stages let's gooo
Memory of a memory
CW: blood, injury
(ID: sequential art image 1: a younger Silco sits at the bar of The Last Drop reading a book and taking a sip of a drink, Vander is tending bar image 2: close up of Silco’s lips, a drop of alcohol running down his chin image 3: Vander’s hand pushes stray hair behind Silco’s ear image 4: Vander tilts Silco’s head into a kiss, catching the liquid image 5: close up of Silco’s damaged eye image 6: Silco’s body in the water as Vander walks away, flames reflected on the dark water end ID)

I made a comic for Jayvik Nation. I will never stop loving yooouuuuu!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
From: The Doctor
To: The Master

Did the Doctor give the Master stuff animals of himself? Who could say 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

I’ve had this drawing in the queue for so long I decided it would be perfect for Valentine’s Day. Just add a cute heart background and bam!
Blisters and bedrock gang meeting after Silco stole a sack of bread✌️✌️
Little Vander is here and I headcanon him as having no filter and gets into constant fights when he was young (like Vi) but only because a lotta others keep messing with Felicia. It got worse when Silco joined the team.
They’re too cute! I just want to give them all a hug and keep them safe. 😭😭😭
me as a writer
just putting it out there, but-
you don't need "a whole story around it" for it to be a work of art
I need someone to write a fic about Ekko properly learning about Silco and Vander's backstory in the Best Timeline™ (S2ep7).
Just... idk. Benzo going "how the hell do you know about what Vander did to Silco, I never told you this", and Ekko staring at him completely dumbfounded, like "what do you mean, what Vander did to Silco?!?"
And then... Ekko having to process the fact that this man he has (rightfully) hated his whole life was really just some guy, even a somewhat decent guy, who was turned into a monster at the hand of the man he has spent his whole life idealizing as this perfect paragon of virtue and goodness.
(And then having to look back at Vander and Silco giving each other heart eyes across the Last Drop, and thinking to himself "damn, these bitches crazy")
Old Zaundads! God bless the Best Timeline™, mentally I'm still there.
Painting practice, 4ish hours, shamelessly Toulouse Lautrec inspired. Companion piece to this. Painted with reference (but used it less than last time, yay for improvement!).
“Give me a kiss, Doctor.”
I can’t get over how pretty Silco is! 😫😫😫😫
I wish I could put more than 10 gifs in one post. I have so many more of him saved!
Headcanon: one of the reasons why Gallifreyan is a) so complex, and b) so inconsistent, is because it's less one language and more a complex mishmash of thousands of languages and dialects.
Think about how one of the reasons English can be complex to learn is because of the mix of Germanic and romance language roots, and now take it up to 11.
While one might expect Gallifrey to be monolingual, given its age and class structure, this probably isn't technically the case. After all, why limit your culture to one language when the average citizen is effectively panlingual (to the point that TARDIS translation circuits are actually dependent on their pilots' knowledge, rather than the other way round)?
Thus, if there once were distinct languages on Gallifrey, they probably have all been merged at this point into modern Gallifrey's super-Esperanto. Add in loan words from notable civilisations across all of spacetime (but likely primarily from Gallifreyan colonies and allies like Dronid, Minyos, Cartego etc.), and it quickly becomes quite unwieldy.
It's also likely that there's a lot of overlap between these sub-languages, which can make distinguishing meaning hard to an outsider. Gallifreyans likely get around this courtesy of their telepathic connections.
TBH, given Time Lord sensibilities, it's likely that every single word variation has its own delicate meanings, derived not just from their societal uses but also from the etymology and history of each one. Canonically (though I don't have a source) we know that there are 30 different words meaning "culture shock", for example, which likely have very minor distinctions in meaning. We also know, unsurprisingly, that there's at least 208 tenses to help in describing time travel.
As an example - imagine being a Sunari ambassador at an embassy gathering and accidentally offending every Time Lord in the room because you accidentally used a definite article derived from the memeovored Old High Tersuran colony dialect, now considered low-brow by association with modern Tersuran, when you intended to use a nearly identical form of the word originating from the Founding Conflict, a triumphant post-Rassilonian intervention, distinguished by a near-imperceptible glottal stop.
It's likely that some of these Gallifreyan sub-languages/dialects may still be spoken with increased frequency under certain conditions, such as in one's own House or when visiting other city complexes. We know, for example, that Arcadia seems to be associated with a "Northern English" accent (which Nine picked up subconsciously post-regeneration, with the Fall of Arcadia being one of the last things the War Doctor remembered before DOTD's multi-Doctor event - hence "lots of planets have a north") when translated, which may indicate some dialect differences in the original language. I suspect there is a societal expectation for Gallifreyans to code-switch depending on the situation, with Citadel business generally expecting the Gallifreyan equivalent of RP, though it's relatively common for Time Lords less concerned with respectability and politicking to not comply.
One nice benefit of all this complexity, and the reason I made this post, is that there's a good argument to be made that every fan attempt to construct a Gallifreyan language can be 'canon', contradictions and all.
Greencook Gallifreyan? A formal evolution of Pythian prophecy scripture into the post-Intuitive Revelation era (based on its similarities with the Visionary's scrawling in The End of Time).
Sherman Gallifreyan? A modern katakana-like phonetic alphabet for the rapid-onslaught of new loan words following President Romana's open academy policies. Recently adopted by the Fifteenth Doctor for writing human proverbs.
Teegarden Gallifreyan? An archaic but recognisable near-Capitolian dialect from the Prydonian mountains, once spoken by Oldblood houses like Lungbarrow and Blyledge.
Or, in a nutshell, the state of Gallifreyan conlangs (and maybe in-universe Gallifreyan dialects):
I guess the dream project would be to accept the complexity and create some sort of grand modular "meta-Gallifreyan" conlang, merging as many fan interpretations as possible with their own distinctions and overlaps, that can continue to be updated as new ideas come up and new stories are released...
Headcanon that The Doctor is fluent in human languages and how they’re heard is actually how they’re speaking, no translation necessary, they Speak Human Good
The Master, meanwhile, is fluent in the languages yes; they’re human languages it’s not like they’re complicated; but hasn’t bothered to ‘go native’ and perfect their pronunciation because it’s such a waste of time to lower themself to that drivel when they can use their superior Time Lord technology to translate for them and make them sound however they need
Which means that The Master has a ridiculously thick High Gallifreyan accent
And since we always describe High Gallifreyan as being song-like…
-TARDIS breaks down and translation circuit is no longer functional-
Master: -speaks in high gallifreyan to the doctor-
Doctor: no, come on, we can’t do this all by ourselves, you have to include the others in the conversation as well
Master: -starts scribbling out their words on a piece of paper-
Doctor: no, we don’t have time for that! we need to figure out what we’re going to do now and don’t have time for you to sit there writing everything down; come on, i know you speak english, just say what you need to say
Master: >:(
Doctor: come on :)
Master: …
Master: -through gritted teeth-🕺🎶I’m going to fucking stab you🎶💃
I love this concept. It’s always fun when creators bring fictional languages into their works. It helps the world building of that media feel more lived in.
Doctor- “you’re coming with me” picks up the master and walks away.
Started working on this before voting season. Got distracted but with voting season ending thought this would be an appropriate time to post.
i love the way that the master keeps saying that the doctor is an adversary and that he wants to kill him but then goes and says this:
"doctor, why don't you come with me? we're both time lords, we're both renegades. we could be masters of the galaxy! think of it, Doctor. absolute power! power for good. why, why could reign benevolently, you could end war, suffering, disease. we could save the universe."
he was trying SO hard to get the doctor to come with him and rule the universe. he's so pathetic, i love him.
I LOVE THOSCHEI SO MUCH SOMEONE PLS GIVE AO3 FIC RECS
