So I have a character that "smolder and fade" away as a result of combating magic, do you know at what temperature the human body would basically turn to ash or disintegrate?

I knew I would get a question about human combustion eventually. I just didn’t think it would come so soon…

A touch of research on Wikipedia mentions one person supposedly burned (spontaneously combusted) at 3500*F, but I don’t know how that estimate was made. Retorts--the oven part of crematories--burn between about 1500-2000*F, and the process takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.

So the answer is, very hot, but I don’t know specifically how hot.

What is your favorite scene form each Doctor?

Ooh, that’s so tough because there’s so many great ones. So I’m not going to say absolute favorites, because there’s plenty of other great ones, but these are what’s springing to mind:

“I made some cocoa and got engaged.” It’s a classic with good reason. Burning down Rome’s a runner-up, though.

“Just one small question. Why do you want to blow up the world?” Alternatively, the moment where he realizes he has to summon the Time Lords in The War Games.

CLEANING LADY

Sleeping/fishing while Romana gets the Key to Time segment in roughly five minutes.

Caves of Androzani episode 3 cliffhanger. It’s basically his Heaven Sent/Hell Bent.

The end of Arrangements for War, where he and Evelyn talk things out. Such a beautiful arc those two have, and that’s such a vital and well-delivered catharsis.

So many good options, wow. Let’s go with “I can hear the sound of empires toppling.”

The Night of the Doctor. All of it.

“Who said you’re not important? I’ve traveled to all sorts of places, done things you couldn’t even imagine, but you two. Street corner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I’ve never had a life like that. Yes. I’ll try and save you.” Oh, Paul Cornell and Russell T. Davies, what a glorious mix.

Saving River to the datacore. That whole sequence. So good.

Pretty much his whole era. I feel like going for an underrated one, so let’s go with “There was a bad day. Bad stuff happened. And you know what? I’d love to forget it all, every last bit of it, but I don’t. Not ever. Because this is what I do, every time, every day, every second. This. Hold tight. We’re bringing down the government.”

Everything with the wall in Heaven Sent. There’s other scenes involving Twelve I like more, but for focusing on Twelve himself, this is definitely the apex.

(War) The climax of The Neverwhen, trying to create the perfect peace. It’s a great scene about who he is.

What is your favorite scene from each Doctor?

After thinking about this question for a while I realized all my favorite scenes are with the Doctor in emotional anguish. I don’t know what that says about me but here are my favorite scenes with the New Who Doctors. 

I loved the whole episode of Dalek but this part with 9 and the slow transformation of his face is amazing. Acting at its finest. 

I really enjoyed all the funny moments with 10 but this scene with him realizing he is going to die just really got me. As much as I love David Tennant it wasn’t until the very end of his time as the Doctor that I was amazed by his acting.

If you follow me then you know I’m not an 11 fan. The speech from The Rings of Akhaten is the only scene of his that I have ever watched more than once. The speech is great, Matt’s acting is good, it’s visually pretty, and the music is superb. 

I don’t think I’ve watched any 12 episodes twice either. I don’t mind 12 but no episode really hit my heart or made a long lasting impact on me. I actually had to struggle to think of a scene and the first one (and only one) that came to mind was after Clara died in Face the Raven and I finally felt like I was seeing The Oncoming Storm who I love so much.

if you prefer, malapert with JayTim

Last one prompted by icarusrises/Ren. Sorry, this one ended up sort of cracky too, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Clever in manners of speech.

---

“Jason! Help! Oh my God, yelp.”

“Dude wha -- what the hell Tim, how many times have I told you to use the freaking window --”

“I’m stuck in this broke down door, why are you living so poor?!”

“Shut up, princeling, you know very much why I’m -- wait, did you just rhyme that?”

“Finally, geez, I thought I would freeze.”

“A tad dramatic, don’t you think? And you still rhyme what the hell happened?”

“Tonight a spell was cast on me, it is a downright felony!”

“… a spell? Where did you even find a magic user around here?”

“There was a maiden in need, so I jumped to help her deed --”

“and let me guess, a magic light hit you in the ass?”

“… very funny, you big mouthed dummy.”

“At least you’re still somewhat yourself. Alright, let’s get you to the Manor. Unless you have Zatana’s phone number?”

“I don’t have any means to contact the lady, but I know her cousin, he could save me.”

“Your rhymes are getting worse, who’d have thought? Aaand I still want to get you to the Manor. This is too good to pass up, Shakespeare junior. And you can glare to your heart’s content, I’m not fazed.”

“Revenge is sweet, so is candy, before you know it, there’s laxative in your brandy.”

“Too bad I don’t drink that crap, huh? Now chop chop, the sooner everyone can get this on tape, the better.”

i like the sound of basorexia and barttim

Another prompt by icarusrises/archerkink. I hope you will like this one. I kind of do.

An overwhelming desire to kiss.

---

Bart could kiss him anytime he’d want to.

(But he barely does.)

Between San Francisco’s teenage density and Gotham’s cold showers, Keystone City’s distant roots and there not being anything steady or settled between them, not the ground or water or Bart’s blurred words matching Tim’s focused avoidance, there isn’t -- confidence. In them or between and they don’t remember to take off their gloves until a buckle is undone on Tim’s cape and Bart’s mouth vibrates under his jaw, until there’s a pressured, sticky closeness and displaced warmth and in the moment (or hours) they could kiss, home tugs at their feet and time is a distorted struggle and if Kon’s vaguely suspicious when they awkwardly stumble upon each other at the Tower, if he’s asking if something happened he forgets when Cassie shows off her pale summer dress but Raven doesn’t, she’s perceptive and smarter than them and she whispers to Robin that Kid Flash is “at the exact same level of longing and idiocy” and Robin’s outside shimmers with Batman’s postures and Tim’s inside shatters with blood and something that doesn’t sit well with his bones, something he tries to walk out and of course they meet, they watch one or two episodes of Myth Busters cluttered on Tim’s bed and then Tim thinks about the myths of Bart’s skin, of the bareness and all the shapes of his body and then their thighs press and print new sensations underneath, and there’s an emergency and then there’s the shower afterwards where Tim is purposely slow and Bart feels practically fossilized, an exhibition of thoughts and muscle devoured but time and when they’re alone they get nothing done, they watch soap wash down San Fran’s imprint and Tim kisses Bart’s cheek goodnight and they leave half empty, without feeling and damp.

So they talk about it, say: “We’re both dumbasses, aren’t we? I’ve been thinking for all week and that’s the outcome: we’re really really stupidly dumb.” and Tim nods and smiles a little and says, “yeah, same result here” and Bart slips his hands into Tim’s pockets, studies his face in depths Tim would look for in seas or a crime scene or maybe right there in Bart’s warm, jittery presence, thinks that these are hours of them in a park with autumn inches dozing between them and -

he should’ve just gone ahead months ago.

He should’ve just kissed him when Bart didn’t.

“Dumbasses,  you said it.” He laughs and kisses him and yeah, it feels pretty damn smart.

icarusrises replied to your post: whispers brudick sleeping headcanons

Aww yiss I like sleeping headcanons 8D I think once they were ~together~, Bruce would sleep more soundly than he had since before his parents died. At first he'd probably be up all night overthinking things, but having Dick's warmth cuddled up close to him would be really, really soothing. If they were apart for any length of time, Alfred would call Dick up like, please come home for a night or two and make him sleep.

I also think Dick would be more of a cuddler. Bruce probably sleeps as still as a stone, but Dick would wrap himself around him and use him as a pillow. That might even be disruptive to Bruce at first, having to deal with someone moving around all night, but he'd be too charmed by Dick's sleepy face to be grumpy about it.
