Did someone say Menelaus?

@silverfoxstole anything Lt. William Bush related has to be brought to your attention :)

look who I've found in my drafts!

[eighthwholove]

It's so silly that the Doctor Who expanded universe will have novels and audio dramas that are famous and beloved in the small fandom they belong to—there'll be stories that are held up as defining works in the franchise and some of the best Doctor Who full stop—most everyone who's dipped their toes into the Who EU will have read, listened, or heard of these stories—and two decades after they're released, their Tardis Wiki entry will be like 'plot: to be added'. What are we doing here gang. Group huddle group huddle. Who was in charge of the plot summaries

being an eighth doctor adventures fan is so hard. how do i explain to people that i want them to read an unfinished postmodernist series of 73 pulp science fiction novels from the early 2000s that's made up of a bunch of writers arguing about how to best fundamentally deconstruct dr who as a concept

Seven: Tea?

Eight (Looking at Five): Shouldn’t we wait for him?

Six: No, he’s happy playing. He’ll come in when he gets bored.

Finally finished this after three days. Why did I decide to draw Colin? Inspired by The Five(ish) Doctors, obviously. I love Colin and Sylv with their picnic chairs and thermos. The Eighth Doctor obviously doesn’t have Paul’s work commitments.

Paul wearing a fan's Dark Eyes cosplay at (I think) Timelash in Germany in 2015.

Paul as Father Liam Phelan from The Hanging Gale, 1995.

A great miniseries, which left me quite shocked and kinda depressed the first time I saw it, seeing how much the Irish people suffered during the Great Famine.

And, as you probably know, an ancestor of the McGanns had left Ireland during that period, giving inspiration for that series.

Everyone in this series was excellent, overwhelming performances.

Anyway,

Happy McGann Monday!!

He is the most handsome Catholic priest ever! I am neither a religious person, nor a Catholic, but I would gladly confess to him! ("Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I think of you every day and every night!" 😊)

And, as a caption under a photo of him as a priest said (in an old Tumblr post), "Kiss him, he's Irish!"

Unofficial Dark Eyes.

Bonus (from here):

Paul McGann as Sharpe (1993)

*insert warning about me talking about my watching the show fic on 0 hrs of sleep*

What if I gave the companions complete whiplash by showing them a Charley Era Eighth Doctor story and then immediately after a Time War Era one or something like that.

Like what if I did that.

BEHOLD THE DUALITY OF EIGHT

NONE OF THEM ARE PREPARED

Doctor who audios that once you listen to you will probably never stop thinking about: scherzo and erasure

[eighthwholove]

I’m so normal about The Natural History of Fear I’m so normal-

It’s beautiful. It makes no damn sense but it doesn’t matter because the story is well-told. The sound design and use of the medium are incredible and right up there with Scherzo. Paul McGann eats a rat. Listening to it for the first time was one of the most stressful media experiences I’ve had. Everyone is a fucking spider in the end.

This audio is always going to haunt me what is this audio what’s happening what is this society what the FUCK
