I am a huge sci-fi fan, but until recently, I refused to answer the call of the time vortex. Doctor Who is ridiculous, thought I. It’s just campy and ridiculous. But I caved (probably just following Heather’s 7,598th reassurance that I actually would like it) and I gave it a try… and have covered almost 3 and a half seasons in a week and a half. Yeah. And…. I can officially say, I’m totally in love with the silly Time Lord and his silly blue box.
More specifically his tenth incarnation. *le sigh* ErmIright? (I’m still only on season four) So because I have not yet met Eleven and his bowtie, and because I absolutely adore Ten, this edition of “Etsy fangirl favorites” is dedicated to David Tennant’s awesome tenth Doctor…
Now, I realize that Doctor Who probably isn’t thought of as bookish, but the man himself described books as “the best weapons in the world.” So I figure it works. Plus, there ARE tons of Doctor Who novels & audiobooks floating out there around the who-niverse. So if you’re a fan who likes to read and you’re wanting more stories featuring whomever your favorite doctor may be, you should definitely check out them out. The ones I’ve listened to are pretty fun, and some are even narrated by David. *fangirling*
Doctor Who as a paper doll? Yes, I totally bought this, because IT’S AWESOME. And, as you can see, also works nicely in the post header. Unicorn Empire also has a brilliant “timey-wimey” Tardis clock that’s just gorgeous.
“Oh, you are brilliant, you are!” Seriously, how gorgeously geektastic is this Pashmina?!
Mix ‘n match fridge magnets. Fun for the kids. Fun for me. Maybe my dream of Rose & the Doctor Doctor being together forever can finally be realized… on my fridge. 😉
Whovian footwear. So useful for all that running you’ll be doing if you ever meet that madman in the blue box.
Oh, we do, Doctor. We do.
P.S. Coffee is a great remedy for void stuff.
Have you hugged your Doctor… or Tardis… today? If you’re anything like me, pillows can be super useful when faced with the odd Weeping Angel episode (the perfect size to cover up the majority of the screen when you want to watch, but DON’T want to watch at the same time? Or to hug when the suspense proves to be too much for your frail human heart to handle?).
And if it’s got Ten on it? Well. That’s just icing.
Why? I don’t know, but it’s got Ten on it, and it would make a great fruit bowl. Did I mention it’s got Ten on it?
Because where would we be without the Tardis? Or coffee? Nowhere good.
Don’t. Blink. Blink and you’ll be overwhelmed by all the awesome this print is giving off.
Who better to keep your Kindle safe than Ten? Plus, he’s bookishly adorable.
Continuing that adorable Doctor theme… A-DOR-ABLE. Right?! DW rubber stamps! Brilliant! Even the Dalek is kinda cute. Who’d have thought?
The Doctor: lord of time… and page.
I was going to make some lame joke about biting off a Cyberman’s head, but no….<ahem> But seriously, how ridiculously AWESOME are these cookie cutters? I love them! And quite right too. Who doesn’t love cookies? *munch munch munch*
Want a custom pendant displaying your name in Gallifreyan? Who doesn’t! Want a shirt displaying your favorite Who quote? Of course you do!
Geektastic Ten nail bling… complete with Ten’s iconic 3D glasses.
More magnets to make your dull fridges and filing cabinets Who-tastic!
“It’s bigger on the inside.” A Whovian knitting bag. I don’t knit, but I’m tempted to start… just to see if it really is bigger on the inside. Who knows, maybe Ten got that chameleon circuit working again?
“”He’s like fire and ice and rage. He’s the light that guides your way to the bathroom at 2AM…”
Ok. Maybe that’s not quite how the quote goes, but in this case it applies quite nicely.
Oh my god. I love Doctor Who and all of this stuff is just… kxzjbcvkldjfbdci vefv dxcvfbgd
I know, right?!?! *totally geeking out*
Dear lord, I just had a nerdgasm. I’m up to date on the show, but Ten will always be my Doctor.
LOL! I have a sneaking suspicion Ten will be the only doctor for me too. *sniffle sob* But I look forward to 11 & 12… kinda sorta 😉
I was ready to hate Matt, but he grew on me after the first season. I like him an awful lot, but nobody will ever be as good as David.
Ok… good to know, because that’s how I’m feeling right about now — the preparing myself to be disappointed. lol
How come nobody gives Christopher Eccleston any love? He did a superb job as Nine! I only wish he was around for longer. David Tennant did a great job at the whole quirky indecipherable doctor schtick, but in my humble opinion, he yells too much
I much preferred him over Eleven though. Matt Smith just started out very… odd. I have a feeling that was more the problem of the director than the actor though. It made me so sad when they went and “americanized” the show. I suppose I kind of digress. Personal doctor preferences aside, I love all of these things! How do people come up with these glorious ideas?
LOL… I really did like him, there was something appealing about his tough-on-the-outside-slightly-gooey-on-the-inside, and his obvious soft spot for Rose and his need for her less-jaded and more innocent insights. But since he was only around for a year, there isn’t quite the selection on Etsy that there is for David and Matt. But maybe I’ll do another one of these for him at some point if I can make a decent list.
And they Americanized it? How? That’s sad to me, because it was completely charming just how it was. Sigh. At least we didn’t go create our own version of Doctor Who, like we do so many shows from the UK. <– Ridiculous. For instance, most recently, I heard that they’re completely redoing Broadchurch for American audiences? Why is that necessary?! What’s wrong with the version that’s already been produced? Ok… *ahem*… my turn to digress. And, I don’t know how they come up with these awesome things, but I’m so very glad they do! There are some super talented people on Etsy.
You need to check out my friend Deborah’s cool Tardis magnets! https://www.etsy.com/listing/157911234/felt-tardis-magnet?ref=shop_home_feat We’re new to Who so just bought one for our fridge! We just finished the 9th Doctor last night….i love him so much I can’t imagine loving another Doctor!
Oh, those are cool! Thanks for the link! And have fun with Ten. He’s amazing, and wonderful, and brilliant. He’s my doctor. 😉
Sorry to tell you, Dani, but he’s MY Doctor! You can’t have him. He’s mine, all mine!
LOL…. share?
several of these items are necessary for my life. I simply won’t be able to live without them!!
Agreed. Must. Have. EVERYTHING.
Firstly, thanks for featuring my shop, Old Timey Wimey Stuff!
Once you tip your toe in the Doctor Who lake you never go back.
Second, I must have a number of the things on the page as well. Such fun stuff you found.
