Nine And Rose Are So Constantly Holding Each Other's Hands. I Think There's Only Like One Episode In

9th doctor sketch I did last week

nuwho needs to get back in touch with the classic who tradition of picking up and physically throwing daleks

Coming back from my grave with a sketch of THE y2k queen

The Doctor ans Rose watching the sunrise

- inspired by ‚Sunrise in Orbit‘ by Astronaut Alexei Leonov -

“you never would you coward. (would you…?)”

the master getting teary eyed and scared when he realises the doctor is really considering to pull the trigger but still daring him to do it. He needs to know, he needs to see if the doctor is capable of it. is he? would he really? why is he still pointing the gun at him?

“go on then. do it.”

But he doesn’t want to die. you can hear it in his voice and see it in his face but he needs to know how far the doctor is willing to go. And besides he’s the master. He’s not gonna back down and plead. At least not in this regeneration. the subtle and terrorised headshake after works very well as there’s one part of the script missing in this scene

“don’t.”

and the doctor won’t.

Watching the First Doctor for the first time, and it’s wild how different he is at the start. Very “we mustn’t interfere, we’re just observers of history” energy. All stiff coat, no meddling. But then—he fakes a busted fluid link just so they have to explore the city? He’s not above poking the universe when it suits him.

He’s curious, definitely. Almost childishly so. But unless it directly involves Susan being in danger, he’s surprisingly hands-off. Cold, even. It’s like he’s treating the universe as a lab experiment and he’s the guy behind the glass.

What’s interesting is—I always assumed, since he and Susan stole the TARDIS and we know he was kind of a disaster at the Academy, that he was just a bad Time Lord. Like, the rebel from the start. But watching him now? It’s kind of clear he still buys into a lot of their ideals. The whole “we observe, we don’t interfere” mindset? That’s textbook Time Lord. He's not so much a rebel as he is a rule-follower with an itchy curiosity.

And that’s where Barbara and Ian come in. And by extension, Susan—who, let’s be real, is clearly picking up her worldview more from them than from her grandfather.

Barbara and Ian don’t just observe. They care. They intervene. They ask questions like “Why is this happening?” and then go do something about it. They push back when the Doctor tries to stay detached. They hold him accountable.

And the more I watch, the more I think they're why the Doctor changes. They don’t just travel with him—they teach him how to be better.

Which is kind of hilarious when you think about it. All it took to corrupt this ancient, immortal time traveler was two schoolteachers and his granddaughter.

question for writers, after you first get an idea for something you want to write, but before you’re actually writing any actual prose for it, when you are thinking about/imagining how a scene would go do you think in the actual words and phrasing you might use to write out that scene, or do you think about scenes more like you’re watching or directing a movie and then you have to translate what you’re visualizing into prose? if that makes sense. and feel to further explain your answer to me in replies if I’m off
