the man who makes armies run away
Aug. 21st, 2008 02:12 pmSo yesterday
velesia and I finally finished Doctor Who S3. I told her a bit about S4, which included some ranting about SitL/FotD, and I was inspired to create this picspam.
Because come on, what sort of army wouldn't be sensible enough to run away from this?

Monocle! XD

The checkered trousers and recorder are just so intimidating!

Or you could look at the time he was tied down and nearly transformed into this species that's obsessed with eating and has big fuzzy red eyebrows.

He's a cleaning lady.
And in case you missed that...

HE'S A CLEANING LADY.

Four likes jelly babies. A lot.

He gets tied to a stake. So scary!

*sporfles* Time Lord robes look silly in the best of times, but with Tom Baker's hair?

He mimics the statue.

I thought the clown suit only came next regeneration?

Oh look, here it is.

He's strapped to a table and rolling down a hill. Good job, Doctor!

...Napoleon?

He's threatening to shoot himself. Well, I guess it saves a bullet for the army running away from him.

The Master makes him wear this thing. That's one person. What might an army do?

I don't know about you, but I'm completely terrified of men who get choked by plastic hands.

And who enjoy dancing to Tainted Love.

He's so proud of having a blinking torch on his head!
And because Ten is supposedly the Lonely God, have a bunch of him being dorky!

I r srs Doktor. I haz srs hat.

He has the quiff, he has the Vespa, now where's Elvis?

He has no clue that he shouldn't stick his fingers in other people's marmalade.

Are you a nine-hundred-year-old Time Lord, or a five-year-old waiting for the bathroom?

Radiation dance!

Armies might run from the Doctor, but the Doctor runs from slapping mothers.

Cartoons are much cooler than invading Sontarans.

Ten is very bad at charades.
There are, of course many more caps I could have used. I really wanted Four's trying on clothes sequence from Robot in particular, but couldn't find it. I also couldn't find any of Two running away from an army. :p (I was thinking of him running away from the Cyberman army in The Invasion.) Three in his cleaning lady outfit trumps almost everything, though. :D
The Doctor does have his dark moments, but at heart he is a big dork who'd be far more likely to run away from an army than have it run from him.

The caption was Tim Latimer's "He's like fire and ice and rage and the storm in the heart of the sun ..." speech, and above it was the Seventh Doctor making the MOST RIDICULOUS FACE EVER. I probably laughed for a minute solid. XD

He's so much happier when he gets to be a big dork than when he had to be (*insert drum roll*) The Lonely God.

Brilliant picspam.

And yes, good point about Ten. Maybe the armies ran away because they thought he'd steal their marmalade.

Date: 2008-08-22 05:50 pm (UTC)Well, I'd certainly run away from Ten if he was after my marmalade. :p

Date: 2008-08-22 03:06 am (UTC)In fairness, what hurts the most is the idea that it's *true* because when he's his darkest, he's in the most pain and lashing out in hurt and fear. Then, yeah watch out if you get on his bad side, but I want to cuddle him and throw Rose at him to make him feel better.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-22 05:55 pm (UTC)Well, yeah, which actually what might be what I hate the most about the Doctor/River "relationship". He has to be in a VERY BAD PLACE to be doing stuff like that, and River apparently doesn't see that and takes it as an example of something good about him.
But sort of the point of this post is that while he does have his dark side, it's not all of him--it only comes out when provoked. In the normal course of things he's just a giant dork. :D

Date: 2008-08-22 01:21 pm (UTC)Four's hair is like Ten's in that it is an entitity into itself. And you should add a picture with the scarf prominently shown.
I just found out that in one of Diane Duane's wizardry books Five makes an appearance, so I went back and read it and found it! I got all excited and yelled "There's Five! There he is!"
Thanks for this. It's just what I needed today.

Date: 2008-08-22 06:00 pm (UTC)Well, Four's hair is big, but Ten's has moods. XD And like I said, there were many more pictures I could have added, but I tried to limit myself and just get my point across. :p
Hee, High Wizardry. Gotta love Diane Duane. :D
Glad you liked it!

Let's just it isn't an invading army of mothers we'd be screwed.

Date: 2008-11-09 02:15 am (UTC)You know, I'm thinking now though that maybe Moffat WAS onto something. Perhaps armies DO run from the Doctor, because they're afraid being around him too long will make them laugh themselves to death.

He's strapped to a table and rolling down a hill. Good job, Doctor! *snorts*

Also, I feel like adding some gifs to this. Because the Doctor is indeed...silly. :)
