Sorry, everyone, but I’ve been feeling overwhelmed here lately so I’ve decided to start fresh on a new blog. I’ve written Teine too long now to give xem up and I’m not going to start now.
So as of now this blog is an archive. You can find me over here if you still want to write with me—though it’s under construction and I won’t finish setting it up until after finals are over.

Having seen some 60s/70s "politically incorrect" TV shows from the BBC I can honestly say that a) Doctor Who was one of the more progressive shows by comparison and b) if Moffat uses the other 60s/70s BBC shows as a guideline then this Christmas special is going to be in the "casual bigotry equivalent of meeting a Lovecraftian horror" category. If he goes by 60s Who standards it'll still be profoundly uncomfortable and offensive.
There are so many issues here .
1. The First Doctor is still a Time Lord who can travel in time and therefore not actually a man from the 60s with the views of that time period. Moffat seems to be confusing the time the show was broadcast and the character.
2. Moffat doesn’t seem to understand that around half of his viewers won’t actually be able to find this ‘gentle chauvinism’ endearing, sweet, or funny??? And a good portion of the other half (and I mean the good portion) will also find it uncomfortable. It’s not amusing to be demeaned and see a hero character be the one to partake in that. It’s alienating and offensive.
3. As you said, the First Doctor/Doctor Who wasn’t actually that politically incorrect when compared to other characters/media of the time, and was actually trying to be progressive.
4. Even if the First Doctor WAS written in a sexist way, that’s no reason to bring that all back in 2017! It’s not an integral part of the character, who was actually intended to be progressive. It’s a disservice to the character of the Doctor and what the creators were trying to achieve.
5. Moffat has no respect for the show’s rich history and has shown this time and time again. He seems to have no understanding that he is just the current caretaker of the show, not someone who should be messing around with it like an excited toddler getting dirty handprints all over the place.
I really thought he couldn’t hurt the franchise any further, but I was wrong! He really is going to do this! Merry Christmas to us all, I guess!!!
gingerbread cookies are basically the gallifreyan equivalent of pot brownies. please make this the next classic who meme.
Tbh the idea that German is an angry or ugly language is just French propoganda to divert attention away from the fact that French sounds exactly like when your dog is choking on some plastic wrapper he found somehow
for the most part german sounds exactly as it looks and their words make sense ie submarine’s logic: ‘boat that goes underwater? let’s call it underwaterboat’
french is a hell language that the french are elitist about and act prissy over even though like 50% of the letters that make up any given word don’t even get pronounced
Just to add, as a former opera singer I had the delight of finding that the spoken French I knew was of almost no use when it came to singing because they literally could not sing the way they speak it. We had a fluent French speaker in our year who was advised not to sing in French because learning all the new rules might fuck up her spoken French. French is fucked up.
Btw best language to sing in? Italian, hands down. Best language to speak, German hands down. Best for poetry though? Honestly English, because we have so many different words for the same fucking things, even if most of them are stolen, that means when you’re painting in English you have a bigger pallette.
French is pretty good for sounding fancy, I guess. If you like that sort of thing.
I literally speak French and even I know it’s condescending
The whole thing just comes from rich English snobs using French language and fashion to assert how much better they were than everyone
All you have to do to debunk “French is fancy and pretty” is listen to 20 seconds of Quebec French b/c Quebec French sounds like a mean duck doing a bad impression of a duck he doesn’t like.
Québécois is to French what Chilean is to Spanish this is just a fact
“Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight” is stupid.
I’ll bring a knife to any fight And I’ll ᴡɪɴ Fuck all of you
I hate how when someone doesn’t like something in a fandom, etc they automatically get lumped in with the extremist or are considered ‘crazy.’ I’ve got this far too much with Moffat. I realized I didn’t care for his writing when silence in the library aired in 2008. I continued to not care for his writing when he became show runner of DW. But let me be perfectly clear, while I have critiqued his writing, I have never once given him death threats, said 'don’t you think he looks tired,’ or any of the other horrible extremist reactions to him. Yet, I have been repeatedly lumped in the same group.
My point is, sometimes people dislike something but they dislike it in a respectable manner. You shouldn’t be forced to like something solely because you are in the fandom. It is how you go about your distaste that matters. For me, regarding Doctor Who, it was to stop watching the show. I still love Doctor Who but I have gone to other outlets such as Big Finish. This goes for all sorts of other things I dislike in other fandoms. I don’t send hate, I don’t disrespect people, and I certainly don’t wish death upon anyone. But I will not pretend I like something if I don’t like it. I just keep my distaste to myself and focus on things I do love about the fandom.
Many others are the same. Stop lumping us with hateful people.
Need A Doctor
bad-wolf-girl-returned:
She let him open the door and took two steps in before grabbing his hand and yanking him in with her.
“I an’t gonna sit in here floatin’ about by meself,” she informed him as the both began to float away.
Teine raised an eyebrow at her as he maneuvered himself into a sitting position in midair. “Oh, really?”
“Yea!” Rose countered. “Yea, cause you know I get bored in ten minutes by myself, so since you think it’s gonna be a while, I expect company!”
“All right, all right. Point made.” Even so, he couldn’t help giving Rose a faint smile to show he wasn’t completely annoyed. “But your body will still be regenerating for the next fifteen hours.” His expression had turned mostly serious again. “There’s not much to do in here, unless you have a few ideas.”
“We can talk,” Rose suggested, leaning back to float as if she were on water. “Ya know, we don’t talk much no more. We used t’talk all the time before I got lost in the void. Now all we do is run and shag.”
He shrugged one shoulder, made a face that said, ‘Well, you’re not wrong.’
“Okay, you want to talk,” he said. “So let’s talk.”
"Anjelika has died..."
“What? No… she can’t be…”
He could feel the blood draining from his face as he stared at the former Time Agent turned head of Torchwood Three. “Jack…”
His hearts stopped beating for 4, 8 seconds and then started up again harder than before. He’d feel it over their bond; he’d know it…
“Tell me she’s not dead.” It came out harsher than he’d meant to, almost a growl. The initial shock was quickly turning to anger. “She can’t be dead. I’d feel it if she was, Jack.”
“…has died.” Finish it in my ask. || Accepting
nightsangelinthetardis:
<Yes, love. Not going anywhere,> she replied with teasing sarcasm. <I’m near the wharf. You might wanna bring someone from Torchwood. There’s some clean up to be done.>
<Jack’s here with me. We’ll be there soon, all right?>
Without waiting for her response the Doctor pulled back from their link and focused on Jack. “She’s near the wharf,” he told the ex-Time Agent. “And she said there was some cleaning up that needs to be done.”
PSST hello! :D good to see you back on the dash!
Thank you! It’s good to be back on Teine’s blog again.
I’ve just had no muse for him lately so I’ve been over on my Chris Halliwell blog ( @twiceborn-witchlighter ) and I also needed to get away from the Tumblr DW fandom for a bit.
"I wonder if you'll ever be able to fathom what you mean to me."
The Doctor eyed the Master warily for a moment—the last time xe’d seen him, the Master had disappeared back into the Time War with Rassilon and the High Council.
So, not from xir universe then, but another one—unless he’d managed to escape, but the Doctor couldn’t see how when the War had been timelocked and was well over from xir point of view.
“Right,” xe said slowly. Slightly spooked, xir higher-dimensional senses were trying to get a read on the other renegade’s timestream and biodata. “So, what, you turned the entire human race into your clones cos you wanted me all to yourself?”
The Doctor really couldn’t help it: this incarnation tended to snark and make very bad puns whenever xe was caught off guard or in some sort of danger.

masterfulxrhythm:
“I don’t fault you for … for your skepticism…”
He hates himself, HATES himself!!! Hates himself INSTANTLY for the wet sheen that belies the bitterness of black-brown eyes, for the stammer in his thunderous voice that belies his conviction. Stop, stop, STOP. Just because it’s XEM doesn’t mean you have to be such a whore for emotional demonstration. Show the restraint of your past faces! Don’t convey the damage; it will only be used as ammunition.
The Master swallows.
“But I can only tell you the unvarnished truth and allow you to extrapolate what you will. Is it not evidence of changed hearts that I don’t try to force your hand, and sway your opinion, with any sort of manipulation or mesmerism?”
He hazards a step closer to the Doctor. “Yielding is my gift to you, Theta. We have both done things to be ashamed of. Can you not return my gesture by bearing my company? Can you not … pretend … that you can stand the sight of the friend you once loved so dearly?”
Melodramatic. Regroup, idiot. And hurry.
“… . Never mind. Yes. Of course I want to know what happened to you.”
I always, always, want to know. I will always care. Be it hate or love or the mangled thing in between that is us, now. Always.
“You want to know what happened to me? Fine.” Xe rocked back on xir heels, tugged at xir flesh-form’s left ear. “Well, for starters, after learning that I was going to die I ended up on Mars, altered a fixed point in time and declared myself the Time Lord Victorious after realizing that the stuffy boring politicians and gatekeepers of the universe are all dead and there’s no one left to stop me.” Xir smile then wasn’t what anyone would call friendly. “Then you came back, of course, along with Rassilon and Gallifrey, yada yada yada.”
The Doctor waved a hand dismissively. “When everything was back in the timelock, Donna’s grandfather had trapped himself in a booth that would overflow with radiation in a rather ill-sighted attempt to save one of the scientists there.” Xe shrugged. “I could have saved him, but I left him there to die instead. My life was more important than his; there was so much more I needed to do.” Another smile, one that didn’t quite reach xir brown eyes.
“And besides, Koschei, I’m not just a Time Lord. Frankly, I’m surprised no one on Gallifrey ever realized just how off I was from everyone else, much less the humans I began travelling with in my TARDIS.”
if you don’t terrify people a little bit then what’s the point.
It doesn’t fit my rule.
The fabulous Target Troll strikes again!
The last one was great!
FRITO-LAY COMING FOR BLOOD OMH
Who else thinks Frito-Lay wrote a big book of comebacks just to deal with these idiots
about duplicates
Duplicates are friends, not rivals.
Duplicates have the right to rp the same muse as you are.
Duplicates are not here to steal your friends/partners.
Duplicates bring in their own interpretation and uniqueness to their muse.
I do UNDERSTAND there are duplicates who were problematic, like stealing headcanons and ideas from their muns who are rping the same character they are. You have the absolute right to be wary, ignore them, and not befriend them. Though, for the most part, they’re all here to have fun and bring in their own style. And I am starting to notice people are leaving fandoms merely because there are muns who hates “competition”.
Since when did rping become a contest to see who’s the best?
Like I said, you have the right of not wanting to associate or befriending with duplicates especially if you made it known in your rules. But throwing in the passive aggressive attitude and telling others not to interact with them, ostracizing them from the community is not the right way to do it if you feel insecure around them. There’s the block button and tumblr savior.
Most importantly: You have the right to be insecure, but your mental illness is not a valid excuse to be mean.
