That brief period where everyone was turning characters into Pixar people via toonme appears to be over now. But I found some Doctor Who ones I’d whipped up during said period! And I decided to edit them a little because toonme is, uh, very possibly not designed for anyone but light-skinned blue-eyed people? Tweaked some colours and ended up with-
A very pink cover for Martha Jones! Pink and purple just seem to suit her.
About the original Martha promo shot I used for this cover… I realised when enlarging it that she has blemishes on her skin AND THEY WEREN’T PHOTOSHOPPED OUT! So I didn’t photoshop them out either. Thank you Doctor Who photography people.
Okay so the rewatch of the Doctor Who season 4 finale was a BIG undertaking and loads of the cast and crew joined in! And some wonderful person actually put them all together in a list so the whole watchalong was made easier! Woo!
However, I’m gonna do the same thing I did for some of the other rewatches and put all the most interesting tweets together and in order. (Also I added Georgia Tennant’s tweets because they were friggin’ hilarious.) So first I’ve done The Stolen Earth and tomorrow I’ll do Journey’s End. There’s a wealth of fascinating information in there and well, this blog isn’t called Overly Devoted Archivist for nothing.
(Freema is utterly and totally delightful throughout all of this)
(I absolutely love all the Noel-Freema interactions here. Hey hope springs eternal Mickey and Martha will be back one day…)
It’s here, and I’m so very sad. But since this is canon… Mickey and Martha canonically have a son now, and Luke is married to Sanjay, and Tegan and Nyssa are a couple (wow!) and just, it was lovely to see all these characters again. It really was.
To celebrate the occasion, here’s some of my favourite ladies from fiction!

Honestly, whatever you think of the episode… WHAT A SCENE. Over five decades of Doctor Who history (Whostory?) packed into a few seconds. With the theme tune! I loved it to pieces.
So being me I’ve gone through it frame by frame to pick out everything that appeared. (This gets pretty long, as you may have expected, sorry)
Welcome back, Dr. Martha Jones. The Tenth Doctor companion, portrayed by Freema Agyeman, was last seen in the 2010 Doctor Who episode “The End of Time” as freelance alien hunting alongside her husband Mickey Smith. It was an intriguing update that made fans wonder how she went from being a UNIT official primed for Torchwood…
Oh man this sounds fantastic. I need to get it. I’ve never actually listened to a Big Finish (I fear I’d lack the attention span for it) but I love Martha so I’m always up for a character study of her.
But it was in a comic! The Thirteen/Ten Weeping Angels story, I’m guessing. Which I have never seen in a shop and don’t know how to get! But look, semi-canonical interaction!
Edited to say: WAIT I found another page and this one’s even better:
