epic and swag pinned introduction post

so imagine this. a matryoshka doll. the outer shell is the doctor who fandom as a whole, and inside somewhere is a rather small doll we will label "the academy era". it rattles when you shake it, and the cause is a very small doll inside. this is the deca fandom. I am in there and I am very loud. if you are a fan of doctor who but don't know what I'm talking about, I have this post and reblog outlining the basics and canonical info about deca appearances, and another with my personal headcanons added. I cannot really make a post definitively summing things up in a way that is understandable to everyone, as each fan has a different set of knowledge—if you have any specific questions about the deca OR academy era content, do not hesitate to send me an ask (anon or otherwise) and I will try to answer to the best of my ability. I do not know everything.

also: if you have your own deca headcanons, questions about my interpretations of the deca, headcanons about academy era thoschei and so on and so forth—feel free to send me an ask or to ping me or whatever! most of my deca/academy era posts are under #hp's deca shite, but some of the posts there are old and suck. here be dragons!

please do not dm me on discord or on tumblr, it's very anxiety inducing for me!

serious stuff: a list of fandom/fanfic squicks would be too long to go here, and I don't think a DNI list would do much, so I generally run on the rule that if I'm getting multiple posts on my dash (from a specific person) that I can't agree with/squicks me—I'll block.

social media: I don't use most social media (and my instagram is only open to people I know well) but you can find my goodreads here

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

— Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg commenting on how weird gendered defaults in entertainment are, and why we should think twice about them. Excerpted from this longer original post. (via 360degreesasthecrowflies)

If you're a TV only Doctor Who fan sad about the recent news of the special being cancelled and want to dip your toe into the wealth of other Doctor Who media out there, here are some pointers that might help <3

Classic Who (pick a Doctor and just start, it's paced differently but trust me it's so good!) - All on Internet Archive (as of posting this)

The Big Finish Audios - Potential Starting Points: - Eighth Doctor - helpful resource with starting points and listen orders - Thirteenth or Ninth Doctor Adventures - still currently releasing bi-monthly so you can hop in with your fav NuWho Doctor! (they've also announced a Tenth Doctor series upcoming) - Classic Doctors, New Monsters - these boxsets are so much fun and were where I started with Big Finish so if you're unsure of the audio format, this is where I started - Sixth Doctor Main Range - starts with The Marian Conspiracy

The Novels - so many ranges to choose from, get stuck in there! - Generally split into Virgin New Adventures (VNA) featuring the Seventh Doctor after the end of classic, Virgin Missing Adventures (VMA) / Past Doctor Adventures (PDA) featuring other Classic Doctors, Eighth Doctor Adventures (EDA), and the New Series Adventures featuring nuwho doctors - Pick a Doctor or Companion you want to hear more from and maybe consult Tardis Guide.

The Comics - again, pick a doctor and eat good

Other helpful resources:

Tardis Wiki (better than the Fandom one)

Tardis Guide (help keep track of stories and where you're going and discover new stories - plus a great community)

I hope this helps someone <3
