So...

[elisi]

I am bored. I'm *trying* to do housework, but the Cherub has attached herself to me in manner of tentacled limpet, which makes things difficult.

So - for anyone else who might be bored: What three words would you use to describe the Doctor?

(Or the Master or Jack or Buffy or Angel or whoever. It all began because of the new banner and thinking about the Seeker, whom I'd describe as 'Curious, pragmatic and self-sufficient'.)

Well, not bored, but not willing to move from my comfy sofa and coffee....

:D

My Doctor (post-time war, natch): Charming/Confident, self-loathing, Scary.

(Sorry for the cheat!)

Basically, My Doctor is THIS Doctor.

That is MY Doctor too! (I have actually been re-watching that vid over and over these last few days... Mmmm, Doctor.)

Now, to find a word that says charming & confident simultaneously...

Isn't it awesome? It escalates and escalates until you're biting your nails wondering what he's capable of next when in reality, we already *know* the worst thing he's done. But all in the name of "right". Wow. He is really damaged, isn't he? You can't even say he's a mirror of the Master anymore because I think he's skating a bit too close to the line.

ANYWAY....

I'm sure there is a word I'm just far too lazy to figure it out. :D

::nods:: I still remember getting actual chills the first time I watched it. And the fact that he is both the happy-go-lucky guy with the big grin, and also the Oncoming Storm ("I've seen whole armies turn and run away. And he'd just swagger off back to his TARDIS and open the doors with a snap of his fingers.") is what continues to make me flail.

Did you read my essay? Actually, if you ever find the time I think you'd like my AU 'verse, since a lot of it is exploring the Doctor/Master dynamic.
