so imagine this. a matryoshka doll. the outer shell is the doctor who fandom as a whole, and inside somewhere is a rather small doll we will label "the academy era". it rattles when you shake it, and the cause is a very small doll inside. this is the deca fandom. I am in there and I am very loud. if you are a fan of doctor who but don't know what I'm talking about, I have this post and reblog outlining the basics and canonical info about deca appearances, and another with my personal headcanons added. I cannot really make a post definitively summing things up in a way that is understandable to everyone, as each fan has a different set of knowledge—if you have any specific questions about the deca OR academy era content, do not hesitate to send me an ask (anon or otherwise) and I will try to answer to the best of my ability. I do not know everything.
also: if you have your own deca headcanons, questions about my interpretations of the deca, headcanons about academy era thoschei and so on and so forth—feel free to send me an ask or to ping me or whatever! most of my deca/academy era posts are under #hp's deca shite, but some of the posts there are old and suck. here be dragons!
please do not dm me on discord or on tumblr, it's very anxiety inducing for me!
serious stuff: a list of fandom/fanfic squicks would be too long to go here, and I don't think a DNI list would do much, so I generally run on the rule that if I'm getting multiple posts on my dash (from a specific person) that I can't agree with/squicks me—I'll block.
social media: I don't use most social media (and my instagram is only open to people I know well) but you can find my goodreads here

↓ more info, tag etiquette on my blog, etc.
name trivia: my nickname (hp) is not to do with the magic books that I will not name, those are my initials! I used to be called HPSauce2005 on a few sites (I found the fact I shared initials with the brown sauce brand very funny at 12), and my first online friends shortened it to hp (or HP). it stuck. Leela Ross is also an alias I use online, it's just a real name version of 'leelarots'.
other trivia:
- I'm part polish (half if we want to be unspecific about genetics), so you might see me post occasionally about polish food. It's how I connect with my heritage.
- I talk a lot. a LOT. I've managed to perfect the art of cutting down how much I type in texts over the years but on tumblr I let myself off the leash a bit.
- I plan on going into science (marine biology) so sometimes I do nerd out on my blog over science. I like the phylum cnidaria in particular.
- although I have things in common with people who have autism or ADHD, I am diagnosed with neither and do not wish to mislead people into thinking I am.
tag etiquette on my blog:
I do occasionally reblog suggestive posts (usually lighthearted/joke posts that reference sex). If you want to avoid this, block #suggestive, #nsft, #implied nsfw.
you also may want to block the tags #cw suicide mention and #vent.
the tag #this post is lighthearted in nature is what it says on the tin. If I think my tone could be misconstrued, I pop this tag on so that it's clearer that I'm not angry.

I saw a screenshot of some AI gen (or photoshop idk) of Doctor who supporting Nigel Farage, and it pissed me off so much I drew him punching that stupid fucker in the head.
Need my mutuals who aren't into the extended media for doctor who to know there's a canon human au for the eighth doctor where he's an ambigiously gay schizospec landlord. He still has 2 hearts, and his mother is an Eastern European mermaid. Also gets pregnant in the leg with a baby angel.
For these who don’t know: The restaurant she worked at closed down but she left before that and opened her own bakery, that’s apparently very successful!
She has a youtube channel where she shares recipes and cooking advice!
She was just doing her own thing, conducting her unethical experiments (which she had been getting away with until now) and in comes the Master messing with her things and trying to rope her into helping with his latest scheme against the Doctor
She was doing great on her own! She was ruling her own planet, stealing the chemical she needed from random humans in history, which not even the Time Lords were aware of. But the MOMENT the Master and the Doctor get involved everything goes to shit
Why do so many pride flags have a white stripe in them? I had to do some crazy gymnastics with darkening the back, but also not really so the other colours weren't too dark and ohhh gosh 😑
online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something
