[OOC - 20 Things Revisited]
Stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
attorney_at_lol because Idgie has the best ideas. 8D
1) Believe it or not, Ten was/is one of the only Gallifreyans to have nightmares.
From the site that owns my soul. Also, I've always imagined Ten to have nightmares occasionally - destroying his own people has obviously left a heavy mark on him, and most of his nightmares are to do with the Time War in some way.
2) Back in the Academy, the Doctor and his little circle of friends, including the Master, were generally pranksters. Once they trapped their teacher in a time loop for hours so that he taught the same lesson for an entire day.
Again, from the site that owns my soul. 8D
3) While it is very well known that Ten likes bananas, he hates pears.
This was actually from the extras in my friend's season 3 box set - there's a bit in Human Nature where Martha fast-forwards a vid of Ten giving her instructions. The box set has what David Tennant was actually saying when they filmed the reel for that bit - mostly random crap, but he did come out with one little gem: "DON'T let me eat a pear. I'm human so I won't know about it, but the last thing I need is to get back to my body and wake up tasting THAT."
Incidentally, the taste WOULD linger. Gallifreyans can taste their own tongues.
4) Ten still loves and misses Rose dearly. However, he's working on the reasoning that a) he remembers what it was like being Nine, and it was very depressing, b) his past self acted first, the lucky bastard, and c) Rose has got enough on her plate without two versions of the same man fighting over her. That doesn't mean that when he next gets a chance, he's not gonna kiss her. As a self preservation thing.
Personal interpretation. Rose was the first person after the Time War who managed to get through to him, and in many ways, she did save him. Also, Ten is an oblivious idiot who lets all of his chances slip by him.
5) Ten got bad marks in nearly all his subjects at the Academy and actually failed one of them 3 times before passing. And just look how he turned out. XD
From the site that owns my soul, though to be honest, I could see this happening anyway. XD
6) If you get a load of Ten-babble, it generally means one of two extremes: that he's comfortable with you, or that he is extremely uncomfortable.
Personal interpretation! Ten talks a lot anyway, and it's usually to rant, to explain, or because he's excited. Something I do need to add, though; if he shuts up completely, you know you're in trouble.
7) Despite popular belief, Ten actually has tried to tame his hair before. It ended up looking absolutely awful, so he gave up.
River-mun and Fell, with their comments about sentient hair, are actually to blame for this one. Here's my justification. 8D
8) Ten's TARDIS is a Type 40, which by the time he "borrowed" it was obsolete. He actually saved the old girl from becoming scrap. Interestingly enough, one of the main complaints about this model was that the kitchen was too far from the control room.
Canon! The latter part was something I discovered after the epic thread, where Ten and Master did actually spend ages walking to the kitchen.
9) Ten is a big fan of Earth punk rock - the old stuff, not what they're churning out these days. ;]
My interpretation of canon. In Tooth and Claw, he was going to take Rose to a punk rock concert and played it loudly in the TARDIS as he was driving it. I just reckon he'd like the old stuff better because the 70s were iconic, man.
10) The chameleon circuit on his TARDIS is actually partly functional now. He just likes the ol'police box the way it is. It's iconic.
Personal interpretation - it reminds him of how things used to be, and I figure he must have spent his time fixing something before he met Rose.
11) He doesn't actually believe that Caan will manage to raise his new kids. Or at least, he really really hopes not. He's still waiting on the teenage rebellion he knows will come.
DDD inspired.
12) The void glasses? Started life as an ordinary set of 3-D specs. Ten jazzed them up a bit.
My interpretation. Also, in canon Ten's managed to make a scanner from things like AAA batteries and bottle tops, so jazzing up a pair of specs is nothing.
13) Ten is a total Disney fanboy at heart and keeps the entire animated collection hidden in a safe place inside the TARDIS.
This is actually from myself; I was a huge Disney fan as a kid and in many ways, I still am. Also, in canon one of the first things Ten quoted was lyrics from The Circle of Life... to a bunch of monsters trying to take over the world.
14) The reason Ten got so uptight when Mirage started taunting him about the Master was because deep down, he's terrified that they're as alike as she insinuated.
Personal interpretation. I think the people at the Beeb deliberately wrote Simm's Master to be extremely similar to Tennant's Doctor - playing off their similarities more than their differences. Also, allow me to post this snippet of dialogue:
Master: All of them? But not you, which means...
Ten: I was the only one who could end it. And I tried, I did, I tried everything.
Master: What did it feel like though? Two almighty civilisations burning. Oooh, tell me, how did that feel -
Ten: Stop it!
Master: You must have been like God...
Ten: ... And I've been alone ever since.
The way Ten reacted to that, you can see that part of him is terrified at the insinuation that they're alike. Because the Master, most likely, would have enjoyed it, the destruction. And perhaps, deep down inside, they are. After all, they've known each other almost all their lives.
15) Speaking of the Master, Ten honestly hasn't given up on himand probably never will. He honestly still believes he can save him. Also, he's refraining from jumping on the Koschei bandwagon because he reckons someone needs to cling to the moral high ground. (But he has been so, so tempted.)
Personal interpretation of canon. He actually does state in the Master Arc that he "isn't here to kill him. I'm here to save him." Seriously, you'd know if you'd seen the end of Utopia, it's still harrowing for me, the way he's just screaming at the Master to listen to him. Also, as Fell's Master is fond of saying, Ten's a bleeding heart deep down, and when you're alone in the universe, there are some causes that you will never give up on.
16) When Ten's saying that he can't cook, he's telling the truth. Soon after regenerating he tried to cook something up, and almost destroyed the kitchen. He's since then made a way of living on anything that doesn't take longer than 10 minutes. This includes takeaways.
Personal interpretation! Also, I'm a fair cook in real life, but I don't like to grill things, because I forget about them and burn them. My limit is pasta or fried stuff, or stuff you can microwave. So this is also taken from me. XD
17) As you'd expect from a 903 year old who can change his face, he's had plenty of time to adjust to both other's sexuality and his own (and since even that's liable to change slightly when he does, he has to be pretty well adjusted.) If you wanted to attach a label to him in that odd human way [;-)] I'd guess you'd call him bisexual. But really, he just likes what he likes.
Personal interpretation. Nothing much left here to add. Other than he's also pretty clueless at figuring out if people are hitting on him.
18) In regards to the comm, he looks at Jordan as a sort of little brother, almost, and Chloe as both a source of amusement and a possible companion. He also likes Haruhi a lot. Mostly he admires these guys for their sheer open-mindedness and quirks, although Jordan's position as Oban's Avatar also impresses him. (I'm not actually sure if he's close enough to anyone else to comment! XD)
DDD inspired. Jordan he's close to because he feels that Jordan understands his situation, the loneliness of having a long life. Chloe simply because she's Chloe. Haruhi for reasons stated above. Also, Ten, while he gets along with most people, has troubles getting truly close to people. Which is why although he seems like a social butterfly, he actually has very few real friends.
19) He isn't lying when he says he misses his home planet and the feeling of just knowing that there's other Time Lords out there. However, what he doesn't mention is that he doesn't miss the pompous, stagnant society or the way things were run. Whenever he catches himself thinking this he feels sick with himself. So he doesn't catch himself thinking it often.
Personal interpretation. In my opinion, Gallifrey was messed up. Seriously, messed up, I would have run away as well. The Doctor hated it, especially the unnecessary laws of non-interference, the grand ceremonies, the drabness of the Academy. He came from a generation of renegades (The Rani, the Master) and this shows. He doesn't miss it.
But he misses the feeling of belonging. Even if he didn't. (Yes, he's confused. Shut up XD)
20) Speaking of nightmares and the Master, his greatest, unspoken fear is going insane. Occasionally, he has nightmares about it.

And, I'm sure with gentle persuasion, Nine would share Rose. As long as he were involved, because technically, it would only be masturbation.
