Been thinking about Kinger, Zooble and Gangle recently
I created a hc that the two like venting to Kinger about stuff since he's easily the best listener in the circus, even when he's not lucid. In fact, venting to him while he's out of it is also desirable, since he'll forget it anyway. Makes venting less stressful.
And when he's lucid, Kinger is very comforting and reassuring, from the way he looks at Gangle and Zooble letting it all out, to the occasional affirmation that their feelings are valid and that he understands them.
This is before we factor in his advice and wisdom. He can make sense of a confusing situation and offer a helpful solution to the problem. But sometimes they don't want an answer, sometimes they just want to talk about everything that's wrong with them and the world, and he's equally as good at that.
What kinds of Doctor Who companions would the members of TADC be?
(a combination of two recent fixations of mine)
(Just the main 6 cuz I can't think of anything for anyone else. Caine is the Master or smth idk.)
Pomni
I imagine Pomni would be about as weirded out by the world of the Doctor as she was by the circus, and would learn about and be accustomed to it in a similar way. I think she could work as a companion the Doctor finds after going through a traumatic event (like the Time War or a heart-wrenching companion departure) and help them heal and regain their humanity (like Rose with the Ninth Doctor). As she'd grow more confident, her relationship with the Doctor would grow very strong, ultimately leading to a finale where they both heroically help save the day (and maybe the Doctor regenerates for a "companion gets used to a new Doctor" storyline). The writers would probably be merciful and give her a regular departure on good terms with the Doc.
Jax
I see two ways his tenure as a companion would go.
1: annoying jerk who the writers give no development to and just kill off without a glimpse of redemption. Half the community hates him and the other wishes he had an actual arc. (Somewhere between Adam and Adric)
2: actual development that turns him from an annoying jerk into a likable decent person. Acts non-chalant about the whole time-travel-TARDIS thing but slowly reveals just how much he thinks it's cool.
There will be no in-between for Jax. The death is horrific either way.
Gangle
A companion who starts off unsure of the Doctor and who takes a few adventures to get comfortable with. I could definitely imagine a scene where the Doctor helps comfort her, like the 2nd Doctor did with Victoria or the 3rd did with Jo Grant. Prevalent risk of her being flanderized by the writers as "the scaredy, sad one". She has HEART-BREAKING departure that neither the Doctor nor the TARDIS team nor the viewers get over. Certified narrative haunter.
Zooble
The type of companion who would take no bullshit from the Doctor (I say that as a good thing, the Doctor needs more Stevens and Donnas and Tegans). I could imagine Zooble being tired of their monotonous life and being interested in travelling the universe, but with strong boundaries (standing on business like a Zoobleboss). With the help of occasional clashing which strengthens their bond, the two would definitely grow a strong AND PURELY PLATONIC relationship. Optionally, have Zooble and Gangle travel together for a slowburn relationship (which the Doctor is the #1 supporter of) which ends in Gangle's death and Zooble leaving the Doctor. Runner up for the character who has the most potential as the Doctor instead of a companion, being a more serious, down-to-earth incarnation like 9 or 12.
Ragatha
I really see a Donna Noble storyline with Ragatha: a woman with a boring life with no job and no aspirations, randomly meets the Doctor by sheer coincidence, and becomes best of friends with them. We could even have an equally depressing departure! (not mind-wipe necessarily but just as bad if not worse). A bit of a pushover at first, but learns to stand up for herself and grows as a character. She'd definitely be in many people's top five favourite companions and would probably come back to the show after some time (yes she's basically Donna Noble sue me)
Kinger
The rare companion who's a middle aged adult and not a 20 something year old. I could DEFINITELY see him with a storyline like Wilfred Mott (we could even have him be Ragatha's Granddad for good measure). Assuming he's mostly lucid, he would be great at knocking some sense into the Doc and stopping hin form going haywire. Give him a traumatic death or departure we need it. First place for the most Doctor potential cuz he's just got the right mix of whimsy and maturity to pull it off.
These are all just my ideas and I'd love to hear yours!
I heard meebkin had a baton and thatโs lowkey hella cool๐ฅน๐ so wanted to design him as someone in a marching band aswell as him being a bartender in shadow islet๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
I think it fits pretty well for what I have for ethereal workshop. Everyone else so far is a preformer aswell, like teeter tauter being circus performers and bemeebeth preformed extravagant concerts๐ฅฐ
Every star you see in the sky is alive. Every planet, every comet, every asteroid, every black hole is alive. They're not human. They're not animals. They're not just celestial bodiess but they're beings. They exist. They are there. They are present, will be present or were present at some point, some place.
Your matter was once of a star. A star's matter was once yours. The universe is in a constant state of recycling, taking matter from A to B, to and fro. The universe knows you're there, knows you've been there, knows you might be there for longer. It acknowledges that it has taken lots of matter from you, given lots of matter to you, and it thanks you for being part of the cycle of matter. The universe assures you, even when you stop existing, that your matter won't go to waste. *No matter ever* goes to waste. The universe will use it to make a new being, a new thing to exist
To you, to me, and to society, we may seem useless and pointless in the vast expanse of the universe. But to the universe, we're useful. Everything is useful, for it is made of matter, and thus can be turned into another thing. You are one with the universe. We are one with the universe. All are one with the universe. The universe is one with all. One for all, all for one.
