Adric Fanclub!!! - Tumblr Posts

I remember seeing somewhere that Nyssa was described as the wallflower of the S19 group....bro they literally go to a party (Black Orchid) and Nyssa makes him dance and then he just eats off to the side watching people the rest of the time i love him your honor he's literally me frfr

also nyssa's dumb shiny outfit gave me no stamina left for her hair so excuse the scribblyness of it. thought halfway through that maybe they should be in their Black Orchid outfits until i remembered that they are pretty rancid (also adric's hair is the bane of my existance he looks like an undertale human with his ever-changing genderless shag)

Castrovalva part one REAL NO FAKE

Adric jumpscare (he's keeping an eye on your dash)

this came to me as an idea fully-formed and i couldn't not draw it. love that photo of adric peeping into the tardis SO MUCH like he would have the best 0.5x photos

I think we all need an Adric in our life. <3

We all need to adopt a math boy. 💖💖

YES!!! Adric is genuinely up there as one of my favorite doctor who characters of all time. He:

is overflowing with autism, and doesn't want to leave the TARDIS half the time because he wants to sit in bed and read math books

has the silliest little androgynous haircut one episode, then absolutely atrocious hair the next

doesn't know how gender works

shows no respect to anyone except the Doctor who he repeatedly beats people up for

walked so Jimmy Neutron and Sheldon Cooper could run

would kiss a boy, but also would say "ew" if you said you like liked him

sucks up to basically every villain, which is a very interesting thing to explore as a writer, but instead everyone just looks at him and goes "you suck stop it"

was the audience surrogate as a fanboy of the show, but he was also from a different fucking universe (which is never brought up again really???? like e-space is just for Adric, no one else gets that)

got blown up because the writers thought he was too cringe

gave the redemption arc HE SHOULD HAVE HAD and was crammed into Earthshock to Turlough, who I'm still developing my opinion on but I've settled somewhere around "ehh you're okay" with so far

sorry to word vomit on you but adric!!! ADRIC!!!!!!!! it's hard to talk about him because he was relevant *checks notes* 43 years ago, but he is my blorbo of the month and thank you for the ask. We all do need a little orphaned math boy in our lives 💖💖💖

Who had the worst time aboard the TARDIS?

ROUND 0 MASTERPOST

been working on my own fic with Adric, and I'd very much like to reccomend this fic, https://archiveofourown.org/works/41629689/chapters/104421033 because oh my god i love it. I haven't dug around too much on AO3 for adric content, partly because I don't want to spoil myself with ideas, but RAHHHHHHHH ITS SO GOOD!!!!! GO READ IT!!!!

here ye, here ye, I have art to dump! Yucky crunchy scans from my phone! My dad (cool) bought me some Doctor Who stickers from like 2007. They rip easily and they are barely sticky but david tennant freema agyeman so its okay. also the two at the bottom of the first below Adric are OCs I've had rotating in my brain for a while and I've been chipping away at a fic for a while now.

In addition to my sketchbook, I've used the stickers on...other things as well. you know how the rear windows on cars have stick figure families somewhere? It's like that, but K9. oh yeah and amogus he's there too

this week: bean remembers they like colored pencils (and Adric but we all know that)

Yes, that is Adric eating bread from Black Orchid, no I did not draw him well, yes I did make his hair fluffier there because the my butchered his hair in that serial.

close-ups on the ones I like the most:

Also my cat kept pestering me while I was Adricing (he’s a verb now) she may be baby but she demands my attention when the brainworms tell me it’s Adric time

putting adric in my ocs outfit because i think its funny

the outfit looks like the medieval period by way of abba because it belongs to a 1300s teenage earth (dubious) girl (more dubious) who was introduced to the fashions and materials of the 1960s and went wild

adrics character is so jarring, cause depending on what serial im watching he’s either one of my favourite classic companions, or one of my least favourite
