I dunno if you take requests but can you do a fanart of the pantheon of discord/chaotic gods including the ones like akhaten and fenric and possibly omega as well and your two oc gods hanging out and playing video games?

I'm really sorry to say that I'm not much of an artist. I use picrew for character design, but actually drawing The Pantheon, Perjury, and Reverie would most likely be beyond my skills. If I tried doing art, it probably wouldn't look great

I love the idea, though! Credit to you. I wish I had the talents to bring that idea to life.

some fav astarion & fenric moments so far

[whoslink]

I decided to draw two characters belonging to @tesnuzzik yesterday, their names are Reinaert and Fenric and I like them very much :)

If you want to read the comic they're making, it's called The Raven and the Runaway and you can find it posted on this -> @theravenandtherunaway blog! Go check it out!

'The final Doctor Who anniversary special, "The Giggle," sets up the introduction of a mysterious new villain - "The One Who Waits." Returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies has always loved to play the long game; during his first era, he tended to drop obscure hints and references throughout seasons, setting up major villain reveals. Davies is back, and Doctor Who is bigger than ever thanks to the injection of Disney cash and the prospect of streaming internationally on Disney+.

The Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials have served two purposes. On the one hand, they look back, celebrating Doctor Who as it has been; it even features the return of classic Doctor Who villain the Toymaker, now played by Neil Patrick Harris. But these specials also feel like something of a sales pitch, welcoming new viewers and giving them a taste of the kind of adventures they will soon be able to experience. Unsurprisingly, then, the anniversary specials include setup - and, in fact, sets up the most dangerous villain in the show's 60-year history.

The Toymaker Teases Doctor Who Season 14's Main Villain Is "The One Who Waits"

The Toymaker is one of the most powerful villains ever seen in Doctor Who, an elemental force bound only by the rules of the game. He originally existed outside the universe, but the Doctor accidentally let him in, and he's enjoyed wreaking havoc across the universe. Crucially, though, according to the Toymaker there was one being he didn't dare face - The One Who Waits. This comment clearly follows Davies' typical format, establishing The One Who Waits as the villain of Doctor Who season 14. The Toymaker refused to reveal the identity of The One Who Waits, suggesting this being is hiding, and that this is "somebody else's game."

The One Who Waits Is Set To Be The Doctor's Most Powerful Foe Yet

The Doctor famously hates cryptic, and he tried to persuade the Toymaker to tell him more about The One Who Waits. He was unsuccessful, however, because the Toymaker clearly fears this entity. That in itself suggests this is the most powerful foe the Doctor is ever going to face, because the Toymaker's power exceeded the likes of the Guardians of Time and Space. As seen in "The Giggle," the Toymaker claimed he could treat gods as playthings, reducing planets to baubles at a whim. Whatever The One Who Waits may be, it's clearly something with power on a scale the Doctor has never seen before.

Who Doctor Who's "The One Who Waits" Could Be

Naturally, viewers are going to be left speculating who The One Who Waits could be. The Toymaker's account rules out some of the most powerful beings seen in Doctor Who history, such as the Black Guardian, a Guardian of Time so dangerous the Doctor began to randomize his journeys for fear of being tracked down by this enemy. Doctor Who's broader continuity has established the Toymaker as one of the Great Old Ones, entities that predate the universe, also including the likes of the Great Intelligence, Fenric, and the Nestene Consciousness. To intimidate the Toymaker, The One Who Waits must be beyond any of these.

The comparison to Fenric is particularly instructive. Fenric's power was so great that his influence pervaded space and time, and he was able to orchestrate complex events using time storms to pull people from one point of spacetime to another. There were even hints Fenric was able to interfere with the Doctor's regenerations, because one story claimed he had tried to ensure the Seventh Doctor would not be a threat (although, of course, he failed). If The One Who Waits is beyond even this, the story possibilities are tremendous.

It's possible Davies has indeed planted hints of The One Who Waits in his earlier run, perhaps with accounts of the Time War. There were hints of temporal creatures beyond even the Daleks and the Time Lords, beings caught up in the conflict who played a key role in the war. The most interesting of these was the Nightmare Child, which apparently came close to destroying Davros. A short story by Dave Rudden, "The Third Wise Man," revealed this was a new type of Dalek - but it remains to be seen whether Davies will stick with this.

That said, the most likely scenario is that The One Who Waits is someone new - a character never seen before in the history of Doctor Who. Davies appears to be doubling down on the controversial Timeless Child twist, which means it could conceivably be a being from the Doctor's own universe of origin. The interesting question, though, is what The One Who Waits is waiting for - and what, the Toymaker implies, it is hiding from. This in itself may be a clue, a hint at a massive power escalation set to happen in Doctor Who season 14 and beyond. The Doctor could easily find himself working against The One Who Waits, and later against whatever it was hiding from.

The One Who Waits Could Be Connected To The Meep

The Doctor Who anniversary specials have set up a number of different plot threads for the future, and it's possible they tie together; even the Toymaker has hinted his story is not yet over, because he warned the Doctor his "legions" would be coming. The Meep, meanwhile, hinted he was working for someone he called "Boss," someone who would be interested in the Doctor because his two hearts make him unusual. The Meep's "Boss" could easily be The One Who Waits.

At the same time, though, The One Who Waits feels like a separate entity. There's no evidence the Meep has any connection to time travel, or to cosmic power on the scale hinted at by the Toymaker. If that is the case, then the anniversary specials haven't set up one potential enemy ahead of Doctor Who season 14 - they've set up multiple.'

Doctor Who The Legend of Ruby Sunday spoilers

If I had to pick a classic Who villain to come back as a member of the pantheon, I wouldn't pick Sutekh. Given the pantheon's role as gods bound by arcane rules, I think Fenric is a much more fitting choice.

OK but if Mrs Flood is Fenric I will pee.

Also, while I was preparing my commission sheet, I've found this drawing from last year, made for a "Doctor Who picture/drawing for every day of the year" in honor of the 60th of the show :) I still like this one and I'm not sure I've ever published it here, so here it is!

sometimes a coming-of-age story is about holding your abusive mother as a baby and although you won’t reconcile with her in the present you begin to understand how generational trauma may have affected her behaviour towards you long ago. sometimes a coming-of-age story is also about defeating sea vampire nazis through the power of faith and befriending a communist and a devastating betrayal from your space mentor . and in the end it’s about taking your hair out of the constricting netting that’s been holding it and diving for a swim into the wild swirling waters

This has been in my drafts for so long that I don't even know where or who I copied the format from. But for anyone who has an OC they would like to fill this out for... pls tag me <3. Also tagging @aphoticfairy @sixteenstrikes @tskva-happens @hungerofhadarr @isayashai @glamfellens would love 2 see ur OCs :}

NAME: Fenric Firdew

NICKNAME: Fen

GENDER: Non-binary

STAR SIGN: I don't know if they exist in Faerun, but if there is, they'd be a Gemini.

PERSONALITY TYPE: ENTP

HEIGHT: 5'8"

ORIENTATION: Demi-bi

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Half-drow hailing from Amn. Their father a high half-elf, mother a seraldine drow, and the little family settled in Athkatla a few years after Fen was born.

FAVORITE FRUIT: Berries, of any kind. Coming across wildberries always brought a smile to their face.

FAVORITE SEASON: Spring. They're soothed by the mortal reminder of seasonal cycles--that all things can be reborn and come anew each year. Every time they witness the first bloom of spring, they're reminded of the light and hope in the world, one that balances out the darkness and despair they've wrought in their lifetime under the pact.

FAVORITE FLOWER: The Belladonna.

FAVORITE SCENT: Leather--warm and rich. It reminds them of their father.

COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Tea. Only which they can prepare correctly with their own personal blend. They also wouldn't let anyone drink else it though, lest they want to be micro-dosed with poisonous herbs. 💀

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 4.5 hours. They're prone to bouts of sleep like half-elves. But, like full elves, they're more likely to fall into a trance.

DOGS OR CATS: Cats!

DREAM TRIP: Though they'll never admit it, it's to Menzoberranzan, the city where their mother escaped from. But they're smart enough not to actually seek out the place. They've heard about the dangers of the city that would await them, yet that only makes the prospect of visiting that much more exciting to them.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: As many as they can get. A warm bed and even warmer blankets is not a luxury they come by often.

RANDOM FACT: Ages very slowly due to their warlock pact with The Great Old One... now it looks like they're 37 years old, even though they've been alive for 180ish years.

'In the boundless and ever-evolving universe of “Doctor Who,” a new mystery has captivated the imagination of Whovians: the enigma of “The One Who Waits.” This shadowy figure, mentioned by the Celestial Toymaker in the 60th-anniversary special “The Giggle,” stands as a paradoxical entity even in a universe replete with the extraordinary. With the Toymaker’s own admission of avoiding a confrontation with this being, we delve into the sparse yet intriguing clues scattered throughout the Whoniverse, piecing together the fragments to unveil what we know about this mysterious character. Is it a new nemesis lurking in the depths of time and space or an ancient force predating the known cosmos? This article aims to explore the known, speculate on the unknown, and unravel the mystery of who or what “The One Who Waits” might be.

Unraveling the mystery: Clues about The One Who Waits

The enigmatic character referred to as “The One Who Waits” in the “Doctor Who” universe first emerged in the 60th-anniversary special, “The Giggle.” This mysterious figure is shrouded in obscurity, but its very mention by the Celestial Toymaker, a being of immense power, indicates a significance that cannot be overlooked. The Toymaker, known for his godlike abilities and manipulation of reality, expressed a notable aversion to confronting this entity, suggesting a level of power or danger that even he fears. This revelation was particularly striking given the Toymaker’s history of fearlessness and dominance over other formidable characters within the series.

Delving into the sparse clues available, we find that “The One Who Waits” seems to represent a force or entity that stands apart from the known characters in the Whoniverse. Unlike other powerful beings like the Eternals, the Guardians, or even rogue Time Lords, this character has remained largely unexplored, leaving its true nature open to interpretation. The name itself, “The One Who Waits,” implies a sense of patience or a strategic holding back, hinting at a purpose or a plan that is yet to be revealed. This is in stark contrast to the more direct and confrontational approaches typically seen in the series’ antagonists.

Moreover, the Toymaker’s description of his encounter with “The One Who Waits” paints a picture of an entity that exists in a realm or state beyond the conventional dimensions of time and space, as understood in “Doctor Who.” The Toymaker’s reluctance to engage and his subsequent evasion when probed by the Doctor further add to the mystery. These clues suggest that “The One Who Waits” could be a being of immense power, possibly surpassing those known in the series, or perhaps an entirely different kind of entity, operating on principles and motivations alien even to the likes of the Toymaker.

Theories and speculations: Piecing together the puzzle

The identity of “The One Who Waits” in the “Doctor Who” universe invites a wealth of theories and speculations. Given the character’s impactful introduction and the Celestial Toymaker’s apparent fear, fans and theorists have proposed various possibilities. A prevailing theory suggests that this entity could be a new, overarching antagonist, potentially more powerful and insidious than any previously encountered. This aligns with the pattern of introducing formidable foes in the series, often with significant narrative impact.

Another intriguing theory ties “The One Who Waits” to some of the most formidable enemies from the series’ extensive lore, including beings like the Black Guardian, known for his embodiment of chaos and opposition to the Doctor; Sutekh, an ancient and powerful alien with god-like abilities; The Great Intelligence, a formless entity with immense psychic powers; Kronos the Chronovore, a creature that consumes time itself; Fenric, an ancient evil with manipulative prowess; and Omega, a renegade Time Lord of great power and intellect. The connection to these legendary figures would place “The One Who Waits” in a category of extraordinary power and threat, possibly even surpassing these known entities in terms of danger and capability.

Alternatively, the concept of “The One Who Waits” could be an entirely new creation by showrunner Russell T Davies, introducing a fresh and unprecedented challenge for the Doctor. This would offer a blank canvas for exploring new themes and dynamics in the “Doctor Who” narrative, reshaping the mythology, and expanding the universe’s scope. In this scenario, “The One Who Waits” might represent a force or principle that defies the existing frameworks and rules of the Whoniverse, ushering in a new era of storytelling possibilities.'
