A cool thing about Torchwood being in the same universe as Doctor Who is that everything that happens probably has a scientific explanation, they just don't always have it.

Some episodes are more on the fantasy side and I choose to believe that's just because the Doctor isn't there to be like "WOAH incredible magnificent. These are Zorks from galaxy T-657. They feed off the psychic energy you release when you dream. Beautiful. They're gonna kill us all ☝️ unless we spray them with pasta water which is their secret weakness. I'm gonna capture them and release them back in their natural environment :D "

So instead Jack is like "fairies 🧐"

And then he shoots them on sight

Contrary to popular belief, Halt does not have a copy of Duncan's seal.

He has the original.

Duncan has a copy.

[turtlesforgovner]

And Duncan has no idea. This is canon to me now.

I love that ART canonically commits tax fraud

[kvaldemar]

no no! Taxes are higher when there’s more money being moved around since it’s a percentage generally speaking.

ART isn’t committing tax fraud, ART has other MYSTERIOUS income streams untraceable by its humans until that one time it tried to report them on its taxes and its humans shut it down.

Turi is committing tax fraud

the existence of alien remnants in tmbd is kinda crazy now that im thinking about it. there were aliens out in the stars but the humans got there too late to meet them; all that's left are the strange materials they left behind and what miiight be biological weapons??? and no one knows if the substances that Make Humans Go Crazy were actually intended to work that way or if it's just unfortunate happenstance that human biology aligns so badly with what the aliens left behind.

adding onto this is the fact that these remnants aren't limited to one planet, but are found scattered around on multiple planets in multiple disparate systems. Can they all be traced to a single species? Were there multiple spacefaring civilizations existing in tandem? What happened to them to make them all go extinct? discovering remnants means the planet has to be quarantined and studied by archaeologists, but the synthetic materials left behind can be turned for a profit if a corporation manages to conceal their activity. What are those materials used for? What has the greater scientific community learned about these lost civilizations?

And literally none of these questions get answered because murderbot doesn't give a shit about remnants unless they're actively threatening its/its humans' lives

I have a headcanon where whenever the black swan goes to Amy for help (it happens more often in my head because it SHOULD) she refers to Sophie exclusively as the mockingjay and Sophie is the ONLY one who gets it. Amy refuses to elaborate

[shiftofgallifrey]

Have we considered that the doctor can have a granddaughter without having children is because susan’s parents were erased and susan is a temporal orphan and paradox and that’s why the doctor took her away

[quizzicalfish19]

Muderhelion fic idea where it's a "what if they were both human" AU but instead of something like a coffee shop AU they're both still the same amount of unhinged. MB is an escaped child soldier freelancing as a bodyguard and ART is a university professor academic who moonlights as a spy and getaway driver for an anticapitalist terrorist organization. Each of them have warrants out for their arrest in various countries. They're both still genderless and use it/its pronouns. Do you see my vision

the few and brief references to the doctor flying in doctor who strongly suggest that flying for time lords works the same way it does in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy: time lords can fly until they remember that this is physically impossible, at which point they can no longer fly. this actually makes sense if you consider time lords as higher dimensional lifeforms - they're capable of (temporarily) tricking the laws of physics into allowing them to do logically impossible things, like, say, fly. this would also explain why the doctor doesn't fly - it's not that he's bad at it (though he might well be) or that he panics when falling from great heights (though he does), but that he spends so much time around humans that he forgets his ability as a time lord to fly.

This is the plot of Doctor Who

[mokeonn]

The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.

Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.

And it slaps

[natequarter]

the unit years are set roughly at some point between 1900 and 2000, of this we can be sure. the real question is: bc or ad?

[ID: a cartoon of the Brigadier from Doctor Who as a caveman. He says, "Just once I'd like to encounter an alien menace that was susceptible to clubs." end ID]

[paulgadzikowski]

I thought of that but I knew this'd be funnier. Like Mel Brooks' being the 2000-Year-Old Man because the character was invented when Carl Reiner turned on his tape recorder for the first time and turned to Brooks saying, "Tell me, sir, is it true you were on the scene of the Crucifixion?", but they still did bits about the character having lived before Man worshipped God or knew what Women were.

Thanks for reading.

the historically inaccurate art also has historically inaccurate fanfiction, if anyone's interested

[polarity-disturbed]

Nardole is truly a character of all time. Had a girlfriend who left him for an AI working at a call center. May have been abandoned by his own imaginary friend—unless he made that up. Studied martial arts. Had a hand replaced with one he won in a game. Was blue at one point.

Got hired by River Song to do crime with her. Was beheaded by a giant head stealing robot man. Got put back together by the Twelfth Doctor. Was charged—per River’s apparent last wish—to stick around and annoy the Doctor, and kick his ass if necessary (and also make sure he didn’t murder Missy).

Once removed an essential component from the TARDIS to prevent the Doctor from running off on space adventures (who revealed he’d lied about needing it). Got infected with deadly space bacteria because, as the Doctor once said, “his lungs were cheap.”, and as a result was laid up for six weeks and nearly died. (He got better.)

and while living on a colony ship fending off Cybermen, broke both his legs in a banana meadow—but didn’t mind, because children could now push him around in a comfy wheelbarrow.

I love him.

[wondabynerailwaystation]

I have mixed feelings about drop bears being mentioned in Unraveled. On the one hand it was so funny to read about, but on the other it gives the game away a bit!

shoutout to this woman’s 20 year career as an intermittent american news anchor in doctor who

been signaling “this is a global issue” for plot lines since 2005

[dragons-are-epic]

There are actually only two genres of Doctor Who:

Once there were more Time Lords in the universe, but those days have passed; perhaps the Time Lords shall return some day and bring a new era.

How the FUCK do I stop getting summoned by these fucking Time Lords

[bumblebeebat1]

Do yall think the elves are like underestimating how many dead elves there are? Cause like they've been banishing children as the main solution for what has been implied to be hundreds of years (Being older elves mention never having questioned it) and yet the neutral territories aren't like infested with banished elves. Plus just generally if you send a eight year old into the woods alone with one garanteed meal a day(if that) and little medical resources its gonna die. So do you guys think theres bunch of dead elven children that have been forgotten by their society. Possibly a graveyard with thousands of dead children being kept up by other children who can barely remember their own traditions since they were thrown out so young.
