Year 2 of Lockdown, Day 93

[elisi]

Apparently today it's the birthday of both Jodie Whittaker and Arthur Darvill. And since I've been collecting some Doctor Who stuff, this seemed a good day to post it. :)

There's a Doctor Who novel where the Doctor gets trapped on a planet, in the past, without his TARDIS.

Before he escapes, he spends several years setting up a world-renowned restaurant.

I feel like more people should know this.

Daily Dimash: Your Love

Yes it's another Igor Krutoy song! :) I'm trying to think of some way of linking this to Doctor Who... I guess the lyrics could fit quite well to Thirteen trying to re-build her life after all the losses suffered by Eleven & Twelve (there is literally a line about re-writing their lives). I could totally make a meta post w/a ton of pretty pictures. Oh and I'd suggest turning on closed captions just to catch the lyrics properly.

Now, what is left of all this love / Aside the pain / That I fight / Against
What can I do to love again / Believe / I can / Survive

Aaaand a couple of reaction videos, if you want to know what Dimash is actually doing, rather than simply enjoy it. :)

Is that the Fifth doctor novel The Crystal Bucephalus they are talking about in the first tweet? It sounds close. I liked that novel a lot.

[elisi]

I believe so! (Another friend has mentioned the same novel, so I presume that's the one.)

Alas I haven't even finished watching Classic Who yet. /o\ (Although I HAVE watched Five, and I luff him.)

[eve11]

Crystal Bucephalus is definitely worth a read. It is one of the better Five novels

One day... :)

Omg, small world :o

I know Lee Roberts! They are the amazing Salemgryffindor who follows me on Deviantart, one of my oldest watchers!

They don't post all that often these days, but I remember being in awe of that cosplay back in 2014; while they were highly complimentary of my Jack Sparrow. I had no idea about all this!
