[magiefish]

Trying to explain how I think about Fifth Doctor era relationships like: Yeah Five and Tegan are a married couple who argue all the time, both before and after getting married, but they would also kill anyone who hurt the other while also about to get divorced. Nyssa is Five’s PhD student and he’s her weird professor but she’s also his adopted daughter and his co-worker too. Adric is Five’s adopted son, but Five also treats Adric like some random kid who’s just wandered into his house and started eating his food while Adric sees Five as his False Impostor Step-Dad who has Killed and Taken the Place of his Cool Real Father. Nyssa and Tegan are both Adric’s sisters. Nyssa and Tegan are also in love but are not married. Tegan and Turlough are catty best friends. Turlough and Five are fucking but they’ve also never had sex and never will. Kamelion thinks of Five and Turlough as family and is in love with Tegan. Five and Turlough think of Kamelion as their weird dog and Tegan actively Hates him and wishes He Would Die. All of their dynamics are also all entirely platonic. Hope this helps.

I mean, the Doctor would definitely end up using Kamelion's body parts for adjustments to the TARDIS, tbh.

the entire existence of kamelion is hysterically funny. we saw that the whole robot dog thing went down really well, have we tried a mildly evil humanoid shapeshifting robot pretending to be king john? that'll be a real crowd pleaser. he's killed people

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 2

While attending Jago and Litefoot's knighting ceremony, the Sixth Doctor had to go in disguise because of the grudge Queen Victoria had against him, which was started by the Tenth Doctor.

Once, the TARDIS jumped a time track, leaving the Tenth Doctor at Powell Estate for a week. During this time, he lived with Mickey.

A team called the "Plastic Surgeons," comprised of the Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, and a lone Auton, won a Mannequin Challenge competition.

The Shopkeeper from the SJAs may have been an incarnation of the Corsair according to RTD.

The War Chief once had an aborted regeneration, which left him deformed, his past and future selves joined together. He had a conjoined dual skull and an extraordinary set of limbs.

The Third Doctor took Jo back in time in an attempt to kill that same would-be-dictator baby but also failed to do so after seeing his Sixth try the same (some of you already know where I am going with this).

After being irradiated on Metebelis III, the Third Doctor was stuck in the time vortex for ten years, dying very slowly.

Ian and Barbara's son became a pop singer.

The Eleventh Doctor once traveled with a robotic copy of a Tyrannosaurus rex named Kevin. His tiny arms made him unable to help pilot the TARDIS.

Kamelion and the TARDIS had a child together.

Missy killed the incarnations that came both before her (Saxon Master) and also after her (the Lumiat).

The Venusian Lullaby sounds like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen because Jago and Litefoot sang it on Venus to soothe the Shanghorn.

The First Doctor caused High Tutor Albrecht to regenerate by experimenting with a perigosto stick and a temporal feedback loop.

The First Doctor rigged a drinks machine to produce mercury during his time at the Academy to experiment with, nearly causing his professor to regenerate.

The First Doctor's dorm room had posters in it and became timelocked after an experiment gone wrong. No one ever figured out how to get rid of the timelock.

Basically, the Doctor was a menace even as a student, but everyone knew that.

Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

the thing about kamelion is that in-universe? he's the cursed robot that causes problems. but out of universe? he's the cursed robot that causes problems.

[silliestcolressfan]

what is with fivey's TARDIS team and none of them really having a fun time

adric witnesses his dad die and turn into someone else, they dont always get along well as much, gets manipulated very easily, and he dies thinking that he a) wasnt liked and b) would never know if he was right

tegan's aunt dies, she watches a guy die and become someone else, she originally just wants to get home, she gets possessed/hyponotised two serials in a row (kinda and the visitation), watches her friend explode, leaves, comes back, has to deal with the mara AGAIN, meets turlough, has to leave nyssa, then leaves herself because it stopped being fun

turlough isnt even meant to be on earth, gets manipulated by the black guardian to kill the doctor so that he can return to trion, has to deal with kamelion the most (sorry i havent watched enough of turloughs stories unfortuantely)

kamelion gets two serials and he dies in his second

peri gets ill and almost die while her friend does die and turn into someone else

nyssa

doctor who should bring back kamelion. for fun. and also chaos
