i made a jon pertwee/third doctor fancam out of boredom

[doctornolonger]

I don’t know if you ever heard about the green cross code road safety ads with Jon Pertwee (SPLINK). I like to think that in the Whoniverse, the Doctor made those to kill time during his exile on earth. What do you think? Or maybe I could bring Interference into it like I did with the morgue story....what do you think? As odd as this question may be.

Know about SPLINK.... Do I ever!

Yes, I think the ads were clearly intended to be in-character, so they fit neatly into the Earth exile timeline!

I love all the rambling 💙! Do you have anymore to share?

I really hope you mean Smushtrink rambling because here we go

Coffee orders.

There’s a coffee shop on the end of their block, they know Exactly what they get.

1. Hot Coffee, only thing in it is like 7 pumps of liquid sugar, room for more to be stirred in. ( Spot’s )

2. Caramel Frappuccino with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. ( Mush’s )

3. Vanilla bean iced chai latte with two extra pumps of vanilla bean and whipped cream made with almond milk. ( Race’s )

4. Iced coffee extra cream extra sugar with a single pump of hazelnut. ( Blink’s )

Spot has a secret sweet tooth. It’s not so secret, actually. The others have a habit of forgetting their drinks exist ( namely Race ) so Spot has taken to just sipping on theirs. He gets his coffee so straight up because of Spite for drowsiness, but he definitely has finished off the others’ drinks now and then. None of them particularly mind Spot taking sips. It’s how he reminds them they actually have their drinks.

Splink full version

[thethirddoctor]

‘SPLINK’ was a slogan aimed at improving road safety for children, and came a year after Dave Prowse had first played the Green Cross Man.

The film dates from 1976 and stars the late Jon Pertwee, (a well-known actor who had played the role of Doctor Who), explaining to young children how to cross the road.

The Green Cross Code was introduced in 1971, using the ‘SPLINK’ drill but rather unsurprisingly children found it too complicated.

However, this film and others featuring simpler messages did have an impact on accident figures. In 1975 the number of children reported killed on the roads had fallen to 505, the lowest since the 1950s. By 2003 the figure was as low as 171 children. But with as many as 3,929 children being seriously injured on the roads each year, the work of road safety campaigns is far from done.

I didn't even know smushtrink was a thing and now I can't get enough of it. More please?

You bETCHA.

Okay okay okay; So; Kit mentioned that Spot is a man of action over words. This is very true and holds all the way through. A lot of times ‘I love you’s are met with a mix of gentle and not-so-gentle kisses depending on his mood.

Mush, However, Is more words. Of course he’s also super touchy, but oh *man* does Mush hold their record for cheesy nicknames, and the trophy for the only man in the world that can adorably use the phrase ‘sweet cheeks’. Race’s pet names may be the most creative, but Mush is the real sweet-talker. Put him and Race on something they want???? They’ll get it. Give them about 5 minutes and access to one of Blink’s weaknesses ( ice cream usually ). Spot can’t say no to all three of them. So instead he rolls his eyes and begrudgingly agrees.

Blink and Race have a Blond Boys thing where the two of them ( since their jobs have the closest-aligned scheduled out of all of them- they both work in theatric production ), will often just go on little walk dates with music. If they have a dog- the dog is definitely also a blond boy- they’ll take the pup with.

They’ll usually get home laughing with each other with their hands linked together and Mush greets them with a nice Smorchin. Spot’ll come home to Race and Blink tangled up on the couch and passed tf out with Mush waiting for him to get home before Also Conking Out.

They sleep a lot. All four of them. They all get cuddly and cozy and it’s too good not to sleep.

Thanks to some genius idea on Race’s part, they have a ‘table’ they can set in the couches that hangs off the sides. Spot used to have to go to his desk to work because there was no getting his computer to sit right on the little side tables or arms of the couches. Not anymore. One time he was home sick and had to take a work call- he ended up doing it on the couch because his boyfriends just wouldn’t let him up. They don’t get him home as much as they all are and they are DETERMINED to UTILIZE THAT TIME.

Is it obvious that these Smushtrink posts are just me rambling on and on about shit.

Find a safe place to stop. Stand on the pavement near the kerb. Look around for traffic and listen. If traffic is coming, let it pass. When there is no traffic near, walk straight across the road. Keep looking and listening for traffic while you cross.
