I just… I need a companion who’s DOWN CATASTROPHIC for the weird-looking aliens. Not the humanoid space hotties. Not the glow-y elf models. No. I’m talking about the sentient puddles. The 7-limbed slime beasts. The ooby glooby tentacle cryptids with 3 eyes. The “technically a gas” ones. Let them flirt with the unknowable. Let them kiss the incomprehensible. Let them rizz the un-rizzable.

And not in a Captain Jack way — Jack’s been around the galaxy twice and has a punch card for it. I want a companion who’s got wide-eyed wonder and accidentally discovers something about themselves mid-eye contact with a glowing orb that speaks only in harmonics. Like, “Why is this 12-foot-tall gelatinous horror blushing?” “Why am I blushing??”

And the Doctor? The Doctor is perplexed. Concerned. Mildly alarmed. But also… a little proud. Like, “That one? Seriously? Wow. Bold of you. You’ve got taste. Deranged taste. But taste.”

It's only a little more than 10 days until the Fugitive Doctor Week! Hence, this will be the last 1 week official poll before the event. (I might publish one or two 1-day polls on the days leading up the the 7th, though.)

So, finally, I'll use this to gain some insight into what will be submitted, bc I am nosy and excited for all your contributions! This is obviously not binding but please estimate what you will be entering:

From July 7th - 13th this blog is hosting the Fugitive Doctor Fancreation Week. Head over to the prompts if you would like to participate!

(or reblog the prompt post to get more people joining and receive more fugitive Doctor art ;))

Go do this quiz to figure it out!

got tagged to do this by @bg3screenshotdump, tysm!

Did it for Briala and:

i'm actually laughing so hard at this ASDJFGFSDG i didn't intentionally take inspiration from lilo but she definitely would've had a bit of that vibe as a kid.

i think i've seen a lot of people do this one already, so not gonna tag anyone but anyone who sees this and wants to do it can just say i tagged you!

The OC narrative questionnaire thing.

INSTRUCTIONS. (Not rules, this is just as it was designed to work.)

- Copy and paste this list into a new post or document. (Please don’t stick the answers in a reblog, this is weirdly important to me. You can, however, share your answers where ever you like.)

- List five characters.

- Search and replace the bracketed numbers with the assigned name. (ex. “1. Tom.” Search and Replace [1] with Tom.)

- Fill out.

- Don’t worry about reading the questions beforehand. I wrote the dang thing and it surprises me every time. You can scramble the list if you really want to.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

  1. [1] and [3] both are in a hurry and practically bump into each other when they get to the door. What happens?

  2. [2] and [5] are in an argument. What could it be about? Just to smooth things out, [4] walks in on them.

  3. [2] needs a confidant and the options are [1] and [3]. Who’s it gonna be? What circumstances would cause this to switch?

  4. [3] and [4] are stuck in a body swap and now they need to impersonate each other. What are the traits they’d overplay to sell it? Who’d do the better job?

  5. [5] has lost something precious. There’s a pile of circumstantial evidence that [2] is the thief. Does [5] decide to trust [2] anyway? Jump on the evidence and start the blame game? Is there enough trust there to label this a betrayal? Is [2] actually responsible?

  6. [4], [2], and [1] are all out in the middle of nowhere and they stumble onto a very suspicious bag of money. What does each of them think of the situation?  Can they agree on what to do?

  7. [3] and [5] are, for the sake of this question, arch-enemies.  For reasons they care about, they have to play nice with each other for a dinner. How well does each pull it off? Does [1] pick up on the tension in the room?

  8. There is a bug! A particularly big, spiny, potentially venom filled specimen.  [1], and [2] are in the room with the little guy, and [3], [4], and [5] are in the next room over. What happens?

  9. Let’s cast [3] as a detective and [4] as the assistant. What could this look like? How effective would they be?

  10. [2] is jealous of [1]. What’s causing this? How is this expressed? How honest is [2] about these feelings?

  11. Say [5] really has to hype up [1] to [3]. Is this going to be easy? Sincere? How convincing would this all be for [3]? What if [1] overheard the hype session?

  12. [2] and [4] are now trapped in the Cave of ‘You’re Stuck Here Until You Resolve Some Character Conflict’. What would they need to talk about? What would they need to hear? How long will this take?

  13. Gift Exchange! [5] got [3] in the Secret Santa. How easy will this be? How much effort is [5] going to put into this? What will [3] think of the gift?

  14. Neither [3] nor [2] believe in ghosts, but they happen to be in a very haunted house anyway. Who would figure out what’s going on first? Who would handle it better?

  15. Well! It looks like a couple of no good bad guys are trying to snatch [5].  Why on earth would they do that? How much trouble would they have? What if [1] got involved?

  16. [4] and [5] have been assigned the Those Two Guys role. Whatever part of the story they play, the other tends to be around too. Would this be a voluntary arrangement?

  17. What kind of age gap is there between [2] and [3]? What if this was exaggerated? Switched around? What kind of dynamic would you get with an old [2] and a young [3]?

  18. What’s something both [1] and [4] find hilarious? Would they enjoy sharing it? What would [2] think of it?

  19. [5] and [4] are in an on-going disaster together. Who’s handling it better? Is there a clear leader between them? Are they working together or cracking under the stress?

  20. Let’s say [3] was leading a team built from [2], [5], and [1]. Would this position be more likely to be earned, elected, granted by a higher authority, or self-proclaimed? How would you rank [3]’s leadership skills? Is there anyone in the underling trio who objects? Anyone whose particularly loyal? How functional would the team be overall?

  21. [4]’s been left out of the day’s shenanigans. Is this taken personally? What level of solo shenanigans will they get into if left on their own?

  22. If you had to choose a babysitter between [2] and [3], who would it be? Who would [4] choose?

  23. Alright, let’s swap [4] and [1]’s stories for a moment. Would they get along with the other’s supporting cast? What’s one big way the stories would change?

  24. [4], [2], and [5] have all been taken to a mysterious location, and separated. They have not seen their “hosts” yet, but have had time to think about the situation. When they are reunited, [5] has been replaced with a slightly too friendly, but otherwise identical, impostor. Do the other two notice? Does the discussion turn to escape? If they realize [5] is missing, what would the others do?

  25. What’s one goal that [3] and [1] could share? What would they think of each other’s methods of getting said goal?

Thing w the first doctor is he has probably the most dramatic character development of any of the doctors (new & classic) and that's one of the really fun things about watching his era retrospectively as you get to watch him choosing to stop being a detached observer and be The Doctor. He arcs out big time ok.

post-time war 9 + dhawan master

I like the idea of a Vulcan character who constantly does very reckless things so her human crewmates think she's strange but then she always has a logical explanation she delivers with absolute confidence.

"No, it was perfectly logical for me to jump out of the shuttle at that time. I had a breathing apparatus, and I was certain I could seal the subspace rift by hand before the Romulans opened fire. This was the only solution that would result in zero casualties. I might have died, but giving up is illogical."

She's known as one of the most fearless members of the crew.

Other Vulcans try not to acknowledge her.

my personal writing advice which will never be a perfect fit for your writing style is that it is patently absurd for your character to just go around describing the physical features of themself or people they already know (nobody does this!), unless

the person in question's appearance has recently and drastically changed (e.g. a haircut)

it's a throwaway detail (e.g. "david william hart jr frowned, brushing a stray brown curl out of his eyes")

it's to emphasise a specific emotion, whether the narrator's or another character's (e.g. "to any other her pale skin and sandy brown hair were indistinguishable in a crowd, but for alfred of norwich, they rendered her unforgivably ugly; had murder not been illegal, he would have shortly done away with aelfgifu's harrowing visage")

the pov character is just Like That (e.g. a drama queen)

if it's a character being introduced, it's more plausible that the pov character might note their appearance, especially if they're hot or they know they're about to meet someone - but even then, they're still not likely to pause and tell you what kind of shoes the character is wearing. take my advice in moderation and with a bucket of salt, even though i'm right and you know it; art is subjective, and you'll have to find your own way in writing.
