Doctor who?

(508th pythia voice) our age of magic is collapsing

it's still killing me that the doctor and the master are canonically each other's emergency contacts. who gets your will when you think you're about to die oh right it's the guy that's been trying to kill you. for centuries

I know it's written off now as the Doctor not being familiar with regeneration and getting overwhelmed by the process their body went through to the point it fucked with their thoughts but Two being all "Oh I'm not the Doctor :) he's dead and I'm something else imitating him in his skin :) the Doctor is dead but I am him and he's me and I'm both alive and not :) ANYWAY I'm really into the recorder now! #myinstrument :D" is metal as fuck

I love collecting doctor who photos, I see one I like and go ‘you’re coming home with me’ and then it just sits in my camera roll for me to look at whenever

so we just need to headcanon that they're all being written down or scrapbooked by a companion who's getting all their info from the Doctor and assuming it's true.

Okay but which companion would do this?

Depending on the vibe of the guidebook (cute/touristy vs. academic) I could see Sarah Jane, Nyssa, Evelyn, Benny, Martha, or Amy doing it.

The guidebooks are therefore the product of the Doctor lying for a significant amount of it, the companion in question perhaps mishearing or misunderstanding some of the lies they were told, and then later when they write it down not remembering everything precisely (there is always so much going on in these stories, so it would be reasonable to assume things get jumbled up even further). Makes perfect sense that a lot of it is Wrong.
