12 for Buffy/Faith and Adora/Catra?
for the ask meme:
12) If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why?
Buffy/Faith:
TBH, Doctor Who. I've been wanting a crossover between them for a long time but the fanfic I've read about a BtVS/Doctor Who fic was all... Buffy/Tenth Doctor, while some are interesting because of my general feeling for Ten, I'm not often encouraged to read it.
But also, I love the idea of Buffy and Thirteen meetings and then bouncing off each other hard. And it's Faith, who is weirdly the peacekeeper. So Faith, Yaz, and Dan are basically running interference.
Oh. Also, Stargate/BtVS - Maybe even Stargate Atlantis! Buffy and Faith, post-canon are fighting another apocalypse and they end up in a portal that drops them on a planet in Pegasus galaxy where the SGA team finds these Earth Humans. (Maybe even bring Dawn with them, and Dawn discovers more about herself and her dormant powers, it turns out she can control a stargate because of who she is).
They learn that Buffy, Faith, and Dawn are not from their universe and they're trying to find their way back home.
Buffy and Faith grow closer together because of this adventure, but also, Wraiths as Space Vampires -- no way are they going to be benched while they're on Atlantis.
Adora/Catra:
I know I had some crossover ideas but the only I remember now is Adora and Catra crashlanding on Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeast because I'm tickled with the idea of Catra meeting other cat people who don't look or act like her. And Adora discovers not only is she Eternian but she's also part Earth Human.
The other crossover idea is the crossover within the same franchise where Adora meets her twin brother, Adam in the new He-Man and discovers her family is alive and well.

I come from a place of sheer curiousity and I just wanna ask genuinely- you say that you're a fan of 13s/ the chibnall era. Why? Doctor who is my favourite show and I've connected with every incarnation deeply and immediately, but have never been able to "click" with 13, despite my best efforts. What is it that you like about her? What is it that you like about chibnalls writing? I want to know and I want to like her/it too, but as of right now, I just... don't. Obviously you're not obligated to, but can you explain why?
Ok so this ended up being a Long Post, so I'm putting my response under the read more. Also I'm assuming you've actually watched the Chibnall era up to The Power of The Doctor, if you haven't then heads up for spoilers and stuff that might not make much sense without context.
Oh and I'm gonna @ @rearranging-deck-chairs and @ssaalexblake because I see their DW opinions all the time and they're really good and they can probably give more nuanced answers on some things. (Idk how well I did on explaining why I liked some of them, and it really is up to personal preference on some things)
Thirteen herself:
There are a lot of reasons I like Chibnalls era, but one of the biggest ones out the gate is definitely Jodie and her acting in the role of the Doctor. I think the way she balances bouncy gregariousness with the colder more angry and mean aspects of the Doctor is great. She does this thing where she can just make her eyes go dead and then smile like it's a threat, like she's gonna bite, especially when going up against villains. It's great. And Jodie herself is a delightful person.
Tumblr media
Beyond just physical acting choices, I find the thirteenth Doctors struggle between her anger and secrecy, vs her desire to connect and her joy at life very very compelling. She keeps this distance that's really interesting I think, where she's genuinely attached to and trying to be a friend to the Fam, but still trying to keep her whole past out of the deal, which doesn't work that well, as we see in s12 and Flux. She's surrounded by death and haunted by the knowledge of how little time she has with her friends, (Grace, and she just came back from bill) but she still wants and needs that connection, and she learns to live in the present a bit. I made a whole post about her final regeneration speech here. I love her arc a lot even if it hurts. Also she's such a horrible hypocrite about so many things, which also makes her a fun character to rotate in my head and study like a bug. I do see it as being on purpose, some people seem to think it's just bad writing that she contradicts herself but imo that's a big part of her character.
Chibnalls writing:
I personally like the timeless child plot because :
There are a lot of stories and ideas in the Chibnall era I like, and a lot more I find very compelling. Whatever your opinions on the writing (and I definitely have had a lot of critique for some bits), there were a lot of ideas introduced that were fun and interesting. One of the weaker points of the era IMO is having so much fun stuff set up, but only shallowly or quickly exploring it, and then adding more stuff on top.
A lot of things didn't get the exploration/screen time I thought they deserved (especially characterization and interaction/dialogue wise). But that just gives my brain more to chew on at the end of the day, and I do love what was done during the seasons itself, not just all the potential stuff.
1) I can connect with it, I know Chibnall was coming at it from a place of being an adoptee, but as a native person the story of a kid taken and raised into an imperial/colonial society, who had their history stolen and their body exploited to further that societies ends, hits very close to home.
And 2) I have a "everything is true at once" approach to canon and I think the more origin stories we make for the Doctor the funnier it is.
This era had a lot of repeating themes, ideas that showed up and we're explored in a lot of different circumstances, often with a rule of 3 aspect to it. One is themes of Empire and Exploitation. Particularly through the stenza in s11 (empire using up planets, introduced to us basically doing foxhunts for clout, but with People instead of foxes), the dalek specials, the Cybermen in s12, and Division/the timelords in flux (as well as the sontarans &co).
Within that there's the repeating motif of how by exploiting people or their beliefs for power the imperial power/bad guys sew the seeds of their destruction. From Tzim Sha using the Ux and them turning against him, to the Division being destroyed by the Ravagers, who they tried to use to get rid of the Doctor/the old universe (and the doctor and even the master going rogue in the first place). Hell even Kerblam! (I know I know) Has a version, where the AI system being used to do terrible things is the one to call the doctor for help!
Another standout are themes of breaking cycles, Ryan is estranged from his dad and was distancing himself from Graham, but they both put in the work and grow extremely close over their two seasons. He also chooses to leave the TARDIS when he realizes he's absent from his friend's lives and wants to be present. And the Doctor gets to break the cycle of exploitation that Tecteun started, when she meets a vulnerable being with mysterious power (the energy being from TPOTD) she helps it free itself, on a way she wasn't helped.
Individual character stuff:
Going again into more individual character stuff I love, I've gotta give it to Sacha Dhawan for being a fucking superb Master. His acting is bonkers amazing and he does a great job portraying the sorta huge personal crisis the master is going through, and externalizing via evil schemes. At the end of Twelves run we saw Missy try to be like the doctor, to get her friend back (and even succeed a bit) but end up dying for it. Now we come back to a master who died trying to be like the person they see as their only equal, and has discovered (wrongly) that they were never equal to begin with, that the doctor is so much more than them. So he tries to make her like him instead, and If she won't become like him and kill them both along with the rest of gallifrey, then he will become her properly this time (by body snatching), ruin her legacy, and die with her eventually (overtaking her in the same way his whole existance has now been caused/overtaken by the doctor in his eyes, because of her being the source of regeneration)
Also can we talk about the Yaz?? I've been dying to talk about Yaz!!! I love her a lot and I find her fascinating, shes probably my favorite companion based on just sheer amount of time spent Thinking about her. Her doctorification/character arc is so good
Yaz is into the travelling and saving the day lifestyle the Doctor gives her for the responsibility of it all, for feeling useful and capable and good. Her early characterization Monet's include her complaining about not having more interesting jobs as a cop because she wants responsibility, she wanted to be important and helpful (that's the entire reason she became a cop, to help people like she was helped when she was in a dark place, and she finds a better way of doing that with the Doctor). And she GETS THERE, narratively and on a character level, she spends three years on earth with her own companions! She co-pilots the TARDIS and can fly her herself! She saves the day when the master steals the doctors body! And most of all SHES EXTREMELY SAD AT THE END BECAUSE THE PERSON SHE LOVES DIED BEFORE HER!! JUST LIKE THE DOCTOR !! (ugly crying) (I could write a whole other post about thasmin, good and bad, but a lot of people have put it better than me)
Tumblr media
Also, I'm a big TARDIS girlie, she has somehow ended up being one of my favorite characters in doctor who, and the chinball era does so much fun stuff with the TARDIS!! Different writers take different approaches to the TARDIS, and how alive vs inanimate, or how active vs passive she is. I think the Chinball era had something special in terms of the way the TARDIS was depicted, and I loved it a lot. We never really get to see past the control room but it's a gorgeous control room! And throughout the era the TARDIS just feels so alive, it's always humming and beeping and chirping, I especially love the moments when the lights change color to match the doctors mood (mostly to blue, for sadness, sometimes red to yell at that dalek that one time). And speaking of the doctor, starting with ghost monument thirteen has a bunch of sweet moments of banter or just ~emotions~ with the TARDIS. I genuinely teared up a bit when she entrusted the timeless child memories to the TARDIS,and before her regeneration speech when she asked the TARDIS to look after her. Because who can she trust with her past AND her future except her oldest truest friend.
I could add a lot more of specific things from the era I love (solitract my beloved) but I think this is getting long enough as is lol.

I was wondering if you had some recommendations for blogs that post mainly doctor who! specifically I'm hoping for chill people who focus on the things they liked most about the show, not necessarily on the parts they liked less :) I've personally enjoyed pretty much every era dw I've watched so far, and I'm not really interested on lingering on the "lesser" parts.
Thank you in advance!! <3
Oooh, this is such a lovely question! Unfortunately I am like....the worst person to ask this question because I follow VERY few people rip hahah but!! I really love @timelordgifs who reblogs/posts gifs from across all the different eras, which is really wonderful!! They're the only person I follow who posts cross-era doctor who content and nothing else. I think they're mostly nuwho focused? I can't remember if they post classic or not - but regardless, lots and lots of love for the show and it's so great. There's also @evviejo who creates a huge amount of absolutely fabulous thirteen-era gifsets, but she is quite vocal about being cross about RTD being...annoying lately, so if you want to avoid that then her blog might not be the blog for you (I find most of the rants relatable though SKSKKS RIP) - but regardless, if you want thirteen gifs, I highly recommend at least puttering about over there because she has made so many fantastic things and deserves more love!
Unfortunately, I can't really think of any more blogs! I genuinely do not follow very many people because I like a reasonably quiet dash (I like being able to scroll back to where I left off so I know I haven't missed anything). The way I find most things that I reblog is often by scrolling through people who like/reblog things from me and seeing what else they've liked or reblogged. And most of those people tend to run personal blogs rather than mainly doctor who blogs. @taardisblue reblogs a lot of spydoc with EXCELLENT tags that will make you spiral, and @ssaalexblake has some FANTASTIC meta. Oh wait, there's also @you-have-to-use-your-imagination which I think is not used anymore? But there's lots of good posts on there. Oh and I'm pretty sure @rearranging-deck-chairs is a good doctor who blog??? Oh tumblr why won't you let me tag people
But anyway, hope that helps!! :D I'm with you in loving all eras of the show, there's just so much joy in each of them, yknow? And each era has flaws too, of course, and critical analysis is important - but my tumblr blog is like my scrapbook, right? So I'm gonna stick the things that spark joy in there.
EDIT: check the notes, anon, there are a few blogs in there! And if anyone else has any recs or wants to self-rec, please do! :D

Friday Fic Rec
A bit of a mix-bag this week, because I've still been caught up in my feelings about Doctor Who -- so there's some DW recs at the bottom. But in terms of CM, as per usual, just been reading smut ;)
What I've Read:
Criminal Minds, Fiona/Emily, WC: 1395
Rated: Explicit || Author: unitchiefprentiss
Why I Love It: As soon as Fiona was introduced in canon, I shipped her with Emily. There's no world in which those two aren't ex's. This was such a nice slice of smut where they're sort of friends with benefits. Emily deserves some phone sex after a long day!
Criminal Minds, JJ/Emily/Derek, WC: 6741
Rated: Explicit || Author: mournful_shapes
Why I Love It: Holy fucking shit. This was SO sexy. I don't usually partake in anything outside of femslash, but in terms of a threesome -- Jemily + Derek???? DELICIOUS. This had me horny beyond comprehension, I had to take a break while reading it so I didn't spontaneously combust. Absolutely masturbatory worthy!
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara, WC: 2877
Rated: Explicit
Tumblr media
Why I Love It: So I've talked about this one on multiple occasions, but I wanted to hype it up this week because apparently I've read it over 50 times now (look -- this was a gift for me and I take FULL advantage of the fact it was tailor written for me). JJ and Tara have phone sex, that's it, that's the fic. And it never ceases to blow my mind with the sexiness.
What I'm Writing:
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara/Emily, WC: 75,700+ (WIP)
Rated: Explicit
Update: This week's chapter was posted this morning and is the longest in the fic so far -- a whopping 8500 words. The entire chapter is full of queer, drunken, shenanigans and it serves as a major turning point in the plot. So proud of this one, looking forward to hearing what readers think.
ICYMI New Fics:
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara, WC: 6245
Rated: Teen
Criminal Minds, JJ/Emily, WC: 23,000+ (WIP)
Rated: Mature || Fortnightly Updates on Mondays
Other Recommendations:
Past Friday Fic Recs:  [Friday Fic Recs - Tumblr] || [CM Fic Recs - AO3 Collection]
Rec Lists: [JJ/Emily] || [Tara/Emily] || [CM Femslash]
My Fics: [Jemily] || [Temily] || [Jara] || [Smut] ||  [All]
Multi-Fandom Recs Under the Cut:
Doctor Who, Thirteenth Doctor/Yaz, WC: 3616
Rated: Explicit || Author: TechnicolorRevel
Why I Love It: Absolutely loved this. It felt so real, the little quips, the descriptions of sweaty bodies, the communication -- it was perfect. Sexy as hell, while still being SO true to character. I think the mark of really great smut is an author being able to do exactly that. I could just see this so clearly.
Doctor Who, Thirteenth Doctor/Yaz, Fanart
Rated: Teen || Author: sergioprentiss (@ssaalexblake)
Why I Love It: An incredible collection of Thirteen/Yaz fanart. My shipper dream come true. Literally all of sergioprentiss' art is SOOOO good. If you're a Doctor Who fan, I highly recommend having a look at all of their works on AO3.
Doctor Who, Thirteenth Doctor/Yaz, WC: 3238
Rated: Explicit || Author: Eriadu
Why I Love It: I adore people who can write telepathic smut. This was SO well done. The way the author manages to keep both of them so deeply in character throughout is beyond amazing. Loved everything about this one.

A reminder of that powerful clip Jodie Whittaker released for fans, especially children, on March 25, 2020, two days after covid lockdown began in the UK.

So before I fall asleep and forget panels
Mandip really has loved every minute, talks about how good a "number one" is - Jodie leading the cast in a totally supportive way so everyone had lunch in her trailer just as a matter of course as they talked things out and she looked out for them; she's "the boss" to Bradley Walsh and even he was impressed by how she does that BTS job of kind of being the captain and anchoring/guiding them (Colin Spaul who did classic Who and new mentions there really isn't much time for rehearsal now, unlike the old days, so not a lot of time to plan and experiment)
S11-12 Jodie was 1, Brad 2, Tosin 3, she was 4, and she probably should've been 3 with John Bishop's experience but Jodie said absolutely not; also in scenes without the Doctor Mandip was half jokingly being 1 but had actually learned a lot from Jodie about leading a cast, a lot of bts stuff she'll take with her [parallelling Yaz!] obviously admires her as well as being really good friends
it's Mandip's first con in the states so of course she's getting really competitive trying to beat Barrowman's ribbon collection
she doesn't think of it as work (she said this at the smaller meet & greet) she really does love acting!
Mandip was a little disappointed they had to stay in wales ("I love Wales!" she hastened to add) for s13 after going to S Africa and Tenerife and Bulgaria, but she liked the continuity, getting to work with actors for several stories like past work
Her favorite stunt so far, although they're tiring, was the crane, just because she'd been doing "telly in the kitchen" right before that, and that scene told her right away this was Big (although she didn't like the heights)
upside down isn't as fun as she thought it would be; headache!
She didn't know that yaz was going to fall for the Doctor until she read those lines on the page — she and Jodie were both like "hm, yeah, we can work with this!" —although it was a natural progression. Until then had been playing it that Yaz admired and loved the Doctor in one way or another, but it totally made sense (she talked about falling in love after becoming good friends with someone, and about how Yaz's flashes of anger with the Doctor are because it hurts more when someone you love hurts you; you don't care so much "if it's a bus driver being rude")
Yes, she had her "Thasmin is canon" ribbon; it was the first thing she mentioned, to much applause. Given her by interviewer Riley Silverman
She talked about representation, understanding it as an Asian actor and why it matters to see characters like you on the media you watch.
And it was just a relaxed and comfortable interview. Riley mentioned at lobbycon that Mandip appreciated Riley had really listened to what she said, more than most interviewers do, which Riley noted as sad. [That's the trouble with prepared questions. Riley is a standup comic, so she's better at improv.]
I feel like I should have more for Sacha but his interview was before Mandips and the interviewer's questions weren't as good.
He has tremendous respect for and spent a lot of time with Waris Hussein. (Who said he did a good job, except while watching rehearsal "I was more posh."
Sacha joking about his not-posh Mancunian (Manchester) accent: he's the first Master not to call himself Maaaahst-ah with that initial posh a-sound. He's from a small village in Manchester, misses it.
Talked a lot about variable modes of his Master, that rather than wearing latex masks he rips off, he likes to settle into other roles, other lives, almost as if he's trying to escape being himself — he's the "Master of disguise" and keeps acting in new ways so you're never quite sure which is the real him.
Got down into his mind a little bit, being resentful of not being appreciated, old friends/enemies with the Doctor, etc etc etc.
Suggested a wild idea— with canon changing/refreshing in weird ways — he could be the next Doctor (I almost think he meant his Master; he's still learning the lore. But he was joking around.)
Asked if he had a controversial take on the Master, what he would have his Master say, he kind of curled around the mike and did a tortured "I love you, Doctor" which would have caused several shippers' heads to explode. I'm not sure he is aware of the shipping, although I suspect by the end of this weekend, he'll be informed.
He and the interviewer had mentioned therapy at some point, so they concluded that perhaps s14 should include the Doctor and the Master in couples therapy.

do you think that cm creators actually did some internet research or whatever & found out about you and your weird obsession with anderson kinda like 'ok this weird person really likes anderson so we're gonna put him in more episodes', and now when the paramount announced the revival anderson's actor was patiently waiting for them to hire him again and it's kinda your fault he is not in the new season cause you stopped talking about him lol
to be completely honest, I don't think they knew about me personally (or my tumblr), we used to bother cm writers/producers on Twitter too (@ssaalexblake was my main little minion there)
but the idea of Brian Appel sitting on his ass, waiting for a call from Paramount, and going like "ok where is that weird girl from the internets NOW when I need her?" when the call doesn't come? It's absolutely hilarious

@ssaalexblake: It's appearing in her character tag for me (on desktop it is anyway). One time one of my sets appeared in some of the tags i'd put it in and not others and it wasn't a first 5 issue, either, it was totally random? No idea what was going on there but it might be doing this to you.
The annoying thing about this, it doesn't feel tumblr has rhyme or reason for flagging tags.
I had to remove the tag I had that mentioned 'body slam' and then it started showing up!
It's really annoying!

--reincarnated assassins au--
your lover betrays you and leaves you for dead in the late 18th century. unbeknownst to her, she fails. you vow revenge but every time your paths cross your lives become entangled in ways you least expect. 
until one day she find you first. with one simple request. 
to kill her. 
for @ssaalexblake 
happy (belated by one day) birthday!!!
