Doctor Who Fan Club V2.910113.14

[P o m]

I've been home sick all day.

Playing with my Sonic Screwdriver and Timelord Psychic Container to keep my spirits up.

I can barely talk.

DOCTOR I NEED YOU.

BBC is probably never going to sanction an official gallifreyan language, then fans could find out the doctors true name, because his name is written on his cradle in a good man goes to war. He gave the cradle to Amy.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't his true name - as I recall, when Moffatt was asked about whether the writing was the Doctor's name, he said he'd wait until people tattooed it on their foreheads and then tell them what it really meant. X3 My guess is that it would be just a Gallifreyan lullaby, a traditional phrase, a blessing/protection of some sort, maybe his house/family name, etc. Considering how private the true name is supposed to be, having his true name printed on his cot would be kind of like Earth parents carving their child's SINumber on to the crib. :b It's probably worth keeping in mind that true names were actually dangerous and were kept hidden for a reason (see The Shakespeare Code). Time Lords were from the time of old word-based magic (remember the Doctor telling Amy about the old Gallifreyan language and how it could destroy and create things just by being spoken?), and Gallifrey used to be controlled by 'witches' of a sort (the Pythia), who probably could have used true names to harm. By hiding their true names and making themselves unable to even speak their names except under specific circumstances, the Time Lords protected themselves from being killed or controlled through that old magic. :3

Couldn't have said it any better myself, Atwood, and I'm part of the cast to this show! Moffat and the rest of the cast and crew would be proud of this uwu

Basically the English language expressed with Gallifreyan letters: This article and this guide. I also found a translator you can download: here. I just find it an interesting alphabet, read circularly, and thought it'd be fun to doodle some Gallifreyan words

Ahh, Sherman (Shermannnn *shakes fist*). Have you seen Doctor's Cot Gallifreyan? I'm really into promoting it, the person who designed it is a real legend and let me play around with painting one of my ties with it recently. I think it's a lot nicer and more consistent personally (everyone thinks that Sherman's is consistent but it's really not at all ), and it's designed to look canonically like the writing on the Doctor's cot, so that's cool.

Also Greencrook. But that's much trickier.

(hullo there Paladog)

Ooo, Doctor's cot Gallifreyan is intriguing. It's expressed more in a left to right manner, rather than the circular reading of what I was looking at. I'll try to learn 'em both- but I've got a translator for this one- makes it much easier to learn the letters. Wish it could be used for non-English languages though. Also wish it had a "c".

I have to stay home again. Stupid sickness.

Doctor please tell me you had some cure for this on Gallifrey.

I'm sick too. I've been sleeping in and my throat's so sore I can barely talk. I've got a headache on top of it.

Doctor, do that mind thing where you get into people's heads. Maybe you can find out why it's doing this to me.

On the bright side, now I can watch Doctor Who all day. I'm nearly caught up to the current episode. [ Not that I actually want to see Angels Take Manhattan... ]

Is everyone sick now? I got caught in a nasty snowstorm, and I don't feel all well. Maybe I will spend tomorrow watching doctor who.

Blah blah, caught the Gallifreyan fever, et cetera... My question is for Scarf: is your problem with Sherman's translator? So far it seems pretty consistent to me as an alphabet.
