Under the cut are some highlights from today's TTRPG session, in which I finally got around to covering: The Dalek Invasion of Earth. New npcs developed and the gang was fed some well deserved romance and angst following their encounter with The Master.

Happy Birthday, Yelan!

Do you ever get tired of me inviting you over to this teahouse?

Relax, I'm not saying I want our little meet-ups to stop. After all, you're my most important "informant."

I've actually prepared something special for you today. Fancy doing something fun together under the cover of another identity?

Worry not, of course this doesn't count as skipping work. Just another day in the life of an intelligence agent.

As for your identity... well that's for you to decide.

Hello gang.

I know I've been MIA for a bit, and while I am sorry for that... I wanted to go ahead and say definitively that it's probably going to be a while before I come back. Lots of stuff's been going on recently that's had me in a pretty rotten mental state. Roleplay-wise, I've kind of been taking an extended stay on a discord server I've reblogged the promo for once before. It's an Honkai star rail server that they let me write The Doctor on, so I've kind of been going crazy with my writing there. That being said, I wanted to post a general update. Under the cut is a few things that I've been going on with me. I'll start with fun stuff and then not-so-fun stuff, all of it under the cut! Thanks for those showing patience with me. I'll be back eventually. My attention is just hard to divide right now, and I'm trying to take it easy. For now, at least.

The Fun Stuff

I've recently updated a couple of my voice claims for various characters. In the past, I've said I don't really like using Canon Doctor's (or canon Doctor Surrogates) as voice claims, same goes for The Master. The exception to this of course was The War Doctor & The War Master, who still shared voice claims with John Hurt & Derek Jacobi respectively. That was mostly because their portrayals inspired most of this au, or at least my takes on those characters specifically. However, recently I've been changing my tune a bit. I consider these versions AU versions of the canon interpretations, with some twists and design divergences to make them more unique, so I've been coming around to it. When discussions of voice claims were prompted in the server, I made an edit of the Scarf Doctor with Paul McGann's voice. Ever since then, I've been using my "voice claim edits" to expose some of the Doctor Who peeps I've met on the server to Big Finish. As well as using it to expose other folks to Doctor Who in general. It works, for the most part. So I figured I'd share those edits here. I have War Doctor edits as well, but unfortunately, they are too big for the streaming service I use.

First up, we have two edits for The Scarf Doctor. One is taken from an excerpt of The Eighth Doctor & The Dalek Time Strategist from Time War 4. The Eighth Doctor Time War sets were exceptionally good. Some stories were hit-and-miss, but I enjoyed Restoration of The Daleks. My second edit features Alex MacQueen's take on The Master, as I made a version of The Master for that server (which's now been ported here) that I'm referring to as "The Maestro Master", but only because he uses Salieri from FGO as a face claim. EDIT 1 | EDIT 2

Before I made The Maestro Master, though, I made an edit for The War Master. Some folks asked me for voice claim headcanons for his incarnation as well, as I've sort of been encouraged to step out of my shell by these folks. They encourage me to ramble about my lore and make edits, hence why I've made so many. So when they asked for a War Master voice claim, I did just that. This excerpt is taken from Beneath The Viscoid's ending, so spoilers. EDIT

My most recent edit was of The Bond Doctor, which I decided to use Tim Treloar for, as his interpretation of Three inspired Bond more than Pertwee did. This was made for someone writing Ruan Mei, as her and Bond are a ship I've been exploring recently. This was taken from the Doctor's first scene in Intelligence for War, a story I really enjoyed. EDIT

Next up IS a new intro. I made this since on the server, I'm plotting out The Scarf Doctor & Natasha as a pre-time war duo. The Scarf Doctor's got some interesting stuff going on on the server. He's exploring a complicated relationship with Jing Yuan, who knows a future incarnation implied to be fighting in The Time War. He's also half-siblings with Himeko (I hope nobody from the server sees this post because that technically hasn't been revealed yet but I think it's too good of a twist not to talk about) which is super fun for me because it's a fun dynamic. I've not been too interested in characters implied to be The Doctor's sibling, but this ship made me want to listen to audios featuring characters like Braxiatel and stuff. Since The Doctor has to have tweaks made to him in order to fit into the Star Rail universe (not many, really.) Her lore is unchanged, but it fits together pretty seamlessly and it's a dynamic I'm having a bit of fun writing. Here's some highlights from their dm discussions. For context, they don't know they're siblings (yet) The Doctor was already attending the academy before Himeko was born, but she wasn't born on Gallifrey. So he never really knew about her. It's interesting. He starts clocking it when she starts reminding him of his granddaughter, Stella.

And here's that new intro, in question.

EDIT: // I forgot to share some of the Character apps I've worked on too. I had to port the Doctor & The Master into Honkai, and while I didn't have to make any insane changes, I tried my best to make it all work. A pre-time war Doctor & Master was a bit hard to port, but I think I made it work for the most part. The general consensus is that Doctor who stuff just takes place very far away from where The Current Honkai story takes place. I was also briefly talked into picking up the Tsaritsa as an AU interpretation. While I didn't ever actually get to write her officially beyond some crack channel testing moments, I really enjoyed her character application. It was built for the purpose of providing foundation for a few other players who wanted to port their harbinger muses into Honkai. It was eventually decided by staff that it'd be best to keep the crossovers minimal, for now, but I still felt like I'd done a lot of really good work with the application. So, I might port the Tsaritsa here. I just felt like sharing her application.

Now onto the not-fun stuff.

Genuinely, this is more of the vent segment of the post where I talk about what's been keeping me from wanting to limit my activity to Discord Only. Mostly it's just my depression, and since writing is escapism for me, I want to make it as stress free as possible. So I've just been keeping my attention on my discord threads, trying not to overwhelm myself too harshly. Metamorphosis has been great for my mental health, the community is very nice and they encourage my hyperfixation rambles, so it's been great. Shoutout to Kyu, Emi (NOT MY GIRLFRIEND, Emi, but shoutout to her too), Eva, Mika, Chibi & everyone else from the server who've been so great. I think my depressive slum would've been a lot worse if not for them. Regardless, I'm still a bit down in the dumps because my Sonic Screwdriver Prop Commissions were finally completed. After about a year of waiting, only one of the two screwdrivers I sent for refurbishment was returned. The other one was stolen by a porch pirate within an hour of being dropped off. While normally, I can handle theft pretty well, the refurbished sonic stolen has been in my collection for over ten years. It's an insanely significant piece of my childhood and it's theft was extremely heartbreaking to me. I spent a week nonstop chasing leads trying to look for it, but after failure after failure, it seems like the only way I'll replace it is by dropping $600 on a smiliar one. The value of the prop I owned has gone up immensely, so I would need to just invest in a new replica entirely.  That kind of sucks. At the very least, I have at least one of the two. I also still have the Prop Shops McGann coming sometime soon (hopefully, the original shipping date was estimated for last month, but production issues kept it from being put out on time. Though an update is coming soon.) I preordered this in October of 2023, so it's going to be pretty exciting to finally get in my hands. I'm still actively looking for work (and while it's going slower then I'd like) I'm trying my hardest to keep my head up. That's why I'm saying that eventually, I will return to Tumblr and start plotting with mutuals. I'm just sort of... taking an extended hiatus to focus on myself, my passions, and my mental health. 

Insane amounts of appreciation to the people still following this blog. I want to come back with invigorated passion and muse for my Doctor's. So for now, that requires me to step back and focus on myself and my personal life. This is a hobby, but you can burn yourself out on a hobby. So I'm choosing to take it slow. I appreciate all those who do and don't understand. Thanks for reading this post, and I hope you have a good one <3

Officially setting up a LOW ACTIVITY NOTICE. I've been mostly discord bound, and with my new job starting up next wendsday, I just haven't had time to get back here, yet. My writing muse is very high, it's just in other places right now and that makes my focus for here harder to maintain. I appreciate everyone's patience with me over the laste few weeks.

UNDER THE CUT ARE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF @heartsglass AND I AT THE DOCTOR WHO STORE. WE MADE OUT WITH SUCH A GOOD HAUL OMG.

[unboundtravels]

Sorry for the radio silence this weekend! @heartsglass and I are driving to the only Doctor Who store in North America. It's a 20+ hour drive. We're committed.

I ❤️ self-loathing characters, characters who struggle with monstrosity (either fearing or embracing it), characters who are so lonely, who have a gaping hole in their chest, who bottle up & repress their feelings, who claw their way up & have ambitions, who fall down & lose everything, who search for identity & purpose yet can’t see themselves outside of what others want from or expect of them, who are hurt & hurt others, who long & grieve, who lie & pretend. characters who are messy & flawed & human

During the later half of The (Scarf) Doctor's life, the outer exterior of the TARDIS received some slight adjustments from it's previous design but didn't deviate very far from the previous design. That being said, it did extreme some slight wear and tear despite The Doctor's best attempts to avoid the war all together...

Design claim.
