#brain of morbius

[finndiseicla]

with RTD speed running all the fan favorite theorized classic who characters this season, i predict next season's returning time lord will be Morbius, played by Matt Smith.

And finally! We've got a full set now. The George Gallaccio Doctor was the eighth and last of the Morbius/Forgotten Lives Doctors. This Doctor was a showman, probably the most cheerful of the bunch, and had a sentient sonic cane named Chuckaboo.

Can't believe I live in a time where not only have the Brain of Morbius Doctors been revealed to be canon, but now the Shalka Doctor has too!

Does Morbius’ time as the Lord President of Gallifrey ever come up in the EU?

Rewatching Brain of Morbius and I forgot about the part where the Doctor calls him a ruthless dictator and I am very curious as to when this occurred.

It was clearly after Rassilon and Omega’s time, but (I assume) before the Doctor’s. So when were the Time Lords under the rule of a dictator? What was that like? How was he usurped?

Sarah: ‘What happened to Mr Allsorts?’ Doctor: ‘Solon’s dismantling him.’

THE CHILD WHO TOUCHED MORBIUS

⸻

We were talking about John Levene—faithful Sergeant Benton—and someone mentioned Joel. “Oh, Joel knew him,” they said. “Old family friend.” And suddenly it’s not a conversation anymore, it’s a portal.

Because Joel was there. On the set. The Brain of Morbius. Mid-1970s. He was just a kid. Small, wide-eyed, unsupervised. And he touched everything.

They told him not to. He did anyway. The props. The console. The brain. At one point he may have whispered into the tank. And that, my dear friends, is where the memory ends—because what Joel saw next is… classified.

They say he touched the control dial that wasn’t supposed to be active. The one that made the faces flicker. And for a second—just a second—he saw more than eight. More than thirteen. A spiral of faces that had no beginning and no proper licensing rights. They say the light changed. The set groaned. Philip Hinchcliffe went cold and said, “He wasn’t meant to see that.”

And Joel? He’s been different ever since. Lovely. Polite. Quiet. But sometimes you catch him glancing sideways at a wall, as if it’s about to regenerate.

This isn’t fan fiction. This is recorded oral history, passed down through interviews, laughter, and the sacred phrase: “Don’t touch anything.” But Joel did.

And the Morbius Doctors… remembered.

I haven’t written it. Yet.

But Joel knows how it ends.

I'm going to add them to my continuity, at opportunity. Perhaps here.

When Davies has taken interest in the Timeless Child storyline, if he decides the fugitive Doctor exists in the Doctor's timeline somewhere else than before Totter's Lane like I decided for The Hero of Three Faces, then I'm going to have to replace the fugitive Doctor in her existing Three Faces cartoons with mindbender Doctors. I'd probably have to reboot my whole continuity like I did after the war Doctor reveal; or, even if I didn't have to, I probably would because it'd be easier than any other option I can think of.

Two amazing photo edits by Tim Buckle for proposed pre-Hartnell "Morbius Doctors."

The first is based on Doctor Who's original producer, Verity Lambert:

The second is based on the series' first director, Waris Hussein:

I am very tempted to write some fanfic for these incarnations!

I made a montage of the whole set of Forgotten Lives illustrations together. That's one fan art project done! (All of the originals were done in gouache, colored pencils and ink. Digital clean-up and enhancement after scanning them.)

Ham & Cheese Toastie and a Pumpkin Latte — A Doctor Who Minisode (SPOILER WARNING for all on-screen Doctor regenerations and reveals from “The Husbands of River Song” to "The Giggle")

— – –

Fifteen: “Ham & Cheese toastie and a pumpkin latte.”

Twelve: “Do you mind?! We were in the middle of… personal activities!”

Fifteen: “I am so sorry… wait a tic, I remember this… you’re playing Twister, aren’t you?”

River: “Oh, we most definitely are playing Twister… if you catch my drif-

Twelve: “Wait, no, shut up, did he just say-

River: “Did you just tell your wife to shut up…?”

Twelve: “What…? You tell me to shut up all the time, I thought it was our ‘thing’ as a couple.”

River: “Our ‘thing’ as a couple is a complete mess of timey-wimey nonsense across the universe!”

Twelve: “Alright, alright, I’ll make it up to you, sweetie.”

River: “Then all is forgiven, I suppose…” (sighs)

Twelve: “Now, for Mr. Pumpkin Latte over here-

Fifteen: “I swear on Chesterton’s name, I didn’t know it was you, otherwise I would’ve sent an alert before barging in technically uninvited!”

River: “Wait a hot minute… is this a send-up? Am I being punked? …or am I being hunked…?”

Fifteen: “Haaah… listen, River, sweetie, it’s not what you think-

Twelve: “Look, whatever it is I’m sure it’s important, but I’m about to win this game with our wife.”

River: “I told you, no Venusian aikido allowed!”

Twelve: “Well, you’re using Tersuran yoga!”

River: “That’s totally diff… wait, did you just say-

Twelve: “Did you try to justify double standards to your husband in front of your husband…?”

River: “But… so he’s… how many faces do you have?!”

Fifteen: “Oh, you have no idea, honey…” (laughs)

River: “Oh, this is far too much… and yes, I did.”

Twelve: “Okay, you- (points at River) -need to lighten up just a bit and play by the rules for a change.”

River: “Since when have you cared about rules?”

Twelve: “…okay, fair point.”

River: “Hm.” (nods with a smile)

Twelve: “And you- (points at Fifteen) -need to leave!”

Fifteen: “But how could I possibly have known?!”

Twelve: “The sign on the door. It says ‘KEEP OUT’.”

River: “No, it says ‘STAY AWAY ME’.”

Twelve: “Well, I’m he, and he’s me-

Fifteen: “And we are all together, goo goo g’joob!”

River: “No, you wrote it specifically for Ashildr.”

Twelve: “Hoist by my own legal loophole…”

Fifteen: “Well, I will take your advice and leave-

Twelve: “Wait! Before you go, since I won’t remember any of this later anyway, I’m curious to know-

River: “Spoilers!”

Twelve: “Like I said, I won’t remem-

River: “I meant spoilers for me, sweetie!”

Twelve: “Oh, you won’t need to worry, darling…”

River: “Wait… wh-

Twelve: “How far along are you, anyway?”

Fifteen: “Well… three and five, I suppose?”

Twelve: “Three… and five?”

River: “Oh, so you’re number twenty!”

Fifteen: “Actually, I’m number fifteen.”

Twelve: “Wait, but what about the other five?”

Fifteen: “Other two.”

River: “Other two what?”

Fifteen: “Other two… goo goo g’joobs.”

Twelve: “Okay, I’m ever so slightly befuddled…”

Fifteen: “Alright, since you won’t remember, and since River’s gonna find out anyway-

River: “What on Darillium are you insinuating?”

Fifteen: “River, babes… please.”

River: “…yeah, you got me there.”

Fifteen: “I’ll give you the tl;dr: Thirteen, then Master, then Thirteen again, then Fourteen - who looks like Ten - then Yours Truly in tandem with Fourteen.”

Twelve: “I’m sorry… we become Thirteen, and then… you said the Master?!”

Fifteen: “Yes! He forces her to regenerate into him-

Twelve: “He, the Doctor, forces her, Missy, to regenerate into him, the Doctor?”

Fifteen: “Other way ‘round, honey.”

Twelve: “Then… I’m gonna be a-

Fifteen: “Mhm.” (Nods; smiles)

Twelve: “…twice?”

Fifteen: “Oh, yes.”

Twelve: “So… we undo the Master’s regeneration, and then we get back one of our old faces…”

Fifteen: “Correct.”

Twelve: “But… you said you regenerate ‘in tandem’ with New-Ten.”

Fifteen: “Oh, Isaac Newton… he is hot af!”

River: “I imagine he has real mavitas, yes?”

Twelve: “‘Mavitas’…?”

Fifteen: “Oh, yes… best fifty-five seconds of that trip.”

River: “Oh, I can imagine…” (chuckles)

Twelve: (clears throat)

Fifteen: “Right… short story shorter, we bigenerate.”

Twelve: (laughs derisively)

Fifteen: “We do! I swear!”

Twelve: “Bigeneration is a myth! A fairy story!”

Fifteen: “So was the Solitract until it turned up real!”

Twelve: “Poppycock! The Solitract Dimension was just another of Granny Five’s tall tales.”

Fifteen: “Well, then it’ll be a nice surprise for you.”

Twelve: “I look forward to it.”

Fifteen: “Okay, I’m off.” (turns to leave)

River: “Until the next time, ‘babes’.”

Fifteen: “Oh, one other thing.” (looks back)

Twelve: “I’m listening…”

Fifteen: “You know the saying ‘before the beginning’?”

Twelve: “Of course I do. Why?”

Fifteen: “Morbius. Doctor Four. Face Twelve.” (leaves)

Twelve: “No… those faces…?”

River: “What is it?”

Twelve: “How many of me are out there?!”

[hunt3r-dot-me]

hot take probably, but I think you fit the looms and Timeless Child stuff together pretty easily to canon

maybe the experiments that led to the creation of regeneration also might have accidentally caused any/all Gallifreyans given that ability to also become sterile

maybe these Time Lords, in their newfound hubris and ego that'll probably persist for... say, at least ten million years ignoring any possible reality-warping warfare, decide to blame it on those weird witches from elsewhere in their constellation

maybe it leads to a pretty shaky relationship between the Time Lords and the Sisterhood

maybe those relationships end up so shaky, the Sisterhood might notice a war-criminal Time Lord being preserved by a cult of personality on their own planet and just decide to do nothing, purely out of spite for the Time Lords blaming them for something they had nothing to do with. plausible deniability? Hanlon's razor? our neighbours are just complete arseholes and we don't wanna make their bullshit our problem? what you talking bout

[natequarter]

DOCTOR: One could probably synthesise that stuff by the gallon, though the consequences would be appalling. OHICA: What do you mean? DOCTOR: What? Everyone trying to live forever? No. Death is the price we pay for progress, you know.

hold on a fucking second

The Doctor explained that we were alien travellers. Tivorg was surprised about who we were, but not about our existence.

The Doctor said that the universe was lucky we were the aliens who’d arrived here. “Imagine another alien lands and discovers what you’ve done. He tells his people, but others overhear. Word spreads across E-Space and into N-Space, the whole universe descending on your world to bring back their dead.”

Tivorg started to cry. “I just wanted to bring her back.”

“There’s always a price to pay,” the Doctor replied, rather harshly I thought.

everything in doctor who is goddamn connected somehow
