elisi's humble abode

Some of you may remember, but almost 6 years ago Promethia created a wonderful spreadsheet of Classic Who, giving an overview of the showrunners and descriptions of the different eras.

Recently I became inspired to do one for New Who. It's a bit more comprehensive than the one for Classic Who, and very much my own take on everything. Also it's a little tongue-in-cheek.

Spoilers for everything aired so far.

( Here be spoilers for Doctor Who 2005-2025 )

Please note that I will (at some point) probably write up some actual thoughts about Disney Who so far. However I have all the time in the world for that, so just be aware that this is not the post for yelling about last night's episode. I mean - you may yell, but I'm very zen about it all. 🫶

Verdict: Looks intriguing.

Which I... fully forgot.

Have the Christmas trailer?

What have Keir Starmer’s cabinet members said about LGBTQ+ issues?
(I'm not keen on Starmer, but there are allies in Parliament now???)

If you have any money to spare, masakochan has set up a Go Fund Me for Top Surgery.<3

And finally, Kerk made me aware of a new Doctor Who reactor. This is not normally news, but he watched the new season FIRST, and has now gone back and started S1. It's fascinating, and he's absolutely delightful. :)

ETA: How could I forget! kaffy_r posted fic: Bubble Tea
Summary: Summary: The Doctor wasn't sure how many plates the mysterious entity that brought them all together could handle, nor could she figure out why all the plates were in the air. What she did know was that she had to get all the plates - her friends and colleagues - safely out of the holding pen in which they found themselves.

(It's a big crossover fic, go have a look if you are curious.)

With thanks to masakochan, the new trailer for S4 of Umbrella Academy:



Looks fabulous.

And then I stumbled across this Good Omens video and remembered all the reasons I love this show and Good Omens:



(It's a proper old-fashioned vid - no TALKING - and the editing is 👌👌👌

GQ MAgazine - interview with Ncuti Gatwa: Ncuti Gatwa Rising
Playing the lead role in Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa shoulders the weight of one of pop culture’s most feverish fandoms. But it’s nothing compared to what he’s carried to get here

(I haven't written much about the new season, mostly I am just blown away by how good it is. Thoughts probably to follow once we have seen all of it. But let's just say that the latest episode destroyed me in all the best ways. 😍😍😍 Oh my heart! Oh show! Oh Doctor!)

Finally, a very random thing I came across: Most popular Brno souvenir is for free <3

Firstly, then I FINISHED my fic! \o/

All Breakages Must Be Paid For: Epilogue (Okay)

~

Secondly, then I just came across the most AMAZING post on Tumblr, delving into 73 Yards, the latest Doctor Who episode. If you have seen it, you will know why you will want to read about what it all meant. (No really.) (I'm being very careful not to spoil anything, because it helps to go in blind! If you haven't watched yet, stay away from spoilers!)

~

Council of Geeks loved the episode (without any of the insights offered by the post above!) and has a video review here.

~

And in case anyone has ever wanted to watch the show in chronological order [of when the stories take place], then fandom has provided a google doc. :)

And they also have good opinions <3



Disabling comments because... life. :)

Spoilers for everything up to & including the Christmas Special.

It's Doctor Who time soon... I've watched the main trailer, but am generally staying away from all the current chatter/endless promotional stuff. I just want to turn on my TV on the 11th and see what the new season is like.

Although this little short is delightful: Ncuti Gatwa on keeping the Doctor Who role a secret.

ETA: Full clip: Ncuti Gatwa on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

I posted Chapter 23: Peacekeeper of 'All Breakages Must Be Paid For'.

And I forgot to mention that Lee made a gorgeous banner for the fic:



(It's not quite as angsty as the banner makes out. *g*)

~

Oh and what the hell, have two lovely trailers.

50th trailer


60th trailer

(I need a proper icon...)

So, before we start I just want to link to this brilliant and hilarious post which chronicles the sheer ridiculous amount of lore that we now have. :)


Now this essay is about 5k long and roams all over Thirteen’s era as well as Fourteen and what we have of Fifteen so far, as well as looking at the Master, the Time War, the Flux, Gallifrey and Earth. So basically: Spoilers for everything. But, we think we have created a solid understanding of what The Timeless Child means for the Doctor and the show, and how it all hangs together. And it’s pretty neat! ^_^

ETA: On AO3 here.

( Look after the universe for me. I've put a lot of work into it. )
