Art fight let's gooooo

Hopefully my wrists hold up this year

Doing commissions! Am very happy to do fanart comms. The fandoms I'm most enthusiastic about will be tagged.

And here, have a HK fancharacter of ThatArtistCalist's

Well that tracks

You know what heck it: INTRODUCING PARALLELS CHARACTERS WITHOUT ANY CONTEXT (plus first art posting wow)

Soooo this is Ed (Right) and Bee (Left). This is actually a bit later in the story, but i just really enjoy drawing them like this (ahem, he doesn't look like this at first) And trust me, these two are very very wholesome and kind to each other, she just got pissed off by his shenanigans. They are my otp and I will talk about them a lot 🤣

[flittlocke]

I'm sorry

W H A T

I mean, I'm not against it, and it could make some very good lore, but

A very fun collab with @thatcalista !

Found out the trauma, trigger happy boys are the same height, so had to draw

This! I've stopped looking at comments and now barely look at tumblr. Let us enjoy something in peace.

IDK man, as someone who actually has quite enjoyed the Davies/Gatwa years to date, there's just something so fucking exhausting about the way people talk about it, and it's really flared up this season. The sheer level of contemptuous glee with which some people seem to welcome the possibility of cancellation is just really, truly getting me down. I'm not even talking about the people who are being tiresomely racist, because they're just an extension of the same people who have been being tiresomely sexist for nearly seven years now.

But just, like... I dunno, man, there's a level of vicious meanness to fandom's present discourse that's really been bad for my mental health all around, and has honestly played a big part in my slowing down my writing, because any time I want to write something earnest and heartfelt about how a given piece of media affected me I end up second-guessing myself because I feel like nobody wants to read anything like that. Instead they'd much rather just pounce on the latest rumour drummed up by vile publications like the Sun, where like... even if the cancellation goes through, do you really want to be on the side of the Sun?

I think the hatred of Wish World broke something in me, because I really liked it, I thought it was a surprisingly barbed little number that picked at nostalgia and conservatism. Plus, like a lot of RTD2 its earnest engagement with what it means to be queer genuinely means a lot to me as someone who started realising they were queer right as The Star Beast hit (and eventually ended up realising they were trans) and who has been grappling with a lot of fear and uncertainty as a result.

So, y'know, going online and just seeing everyone be all "Oh it sucks," "It's garbage," "RTD L," "Wow they really betrayed the character integrity of the Rani" (what the fuck are you even talking about with that one, what character integrity did the Rani ever have, for Christ's sake?). My point is never that one should just be a blind, mindless consumer. Far from it. If anything, I would rather people actually pause to think "Hmm maybe this piece of media is trying to say something." And I mean I get if it doesn't resonate with you. I get if you think it's crashingly unsubtle, or if there are aspects of its commentary that you find lacking. I've had some criticisms of the Gatwa Era as well, and I can acknowledge them.

But on the whole, I've had a great time, and I dunno, it just... makes me feel like shit to see so many people so violently disagreeing and dismissing any possibility that any of these stories could have any kind of resonance with people.

This intro is reminding me of Blodduwen, a Welsh legend that involves an owl and a flower lady :0

[flittlocke]

I'm so excited for two embers, ESPECIALLY the krill

Quick little scene redraw

[flittlocke]

Voib

This has probably been theorised before, but what if weeping angels are timeless children? Maybe many were sent through the portal, and the Doctor was one of very few who made it through unchanged. The rest became angels, and now have to feed off of time to survive

[flittlocke]

There was absolutely a midnight entity in the airlock when Aliss left. Either there were already two entities, or the reflection doubled it, maybe?

[flittlocke]

I'm headcanoning that Mrs Flood is either the Trickster or a god. It would make sense, with her fourth wall breaking and the apparent ability to be anywhere in time and space

That and Sutehk mentioned the Trickster (iirc)

[flittlocke]

Alter sketches!
