Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 562: Salt And Pepper at dw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: The Doctor isn’t happy with his new appearance.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




He had grey in his hair. Grey! After getting increasingly younger bodies for the past several regenerations, he was suddenly beginning to look old!


Alright, so before this regeneration he already looked old, but that was because his body WAS old. He’d had that body longer than any of his previous ones, and it had aged accordingly with the passing years. This one, however, was new; it should look young! He should feel rejuvenated, not like a crotchety old man.


Clara said the salt-and-pepper look was distinguished, that it suited him, but what did she know? She wasn’t going grey!

War Doctor: Am I having a midlife crisis?

As the Thirteenth Doctor would later say: Not any more.*taken out of context*

On a serious note: The events that lead to Eleven's regeneration was why Twelve "looked" older than his previous incarnations.

True, but the Doctor isn't being entirely rational, he's just annoyed that his new body is old.

True. I miss my twenty something year old body. Due to current fitness issues.

You wait until you're my age. *sighs* What I wouldn't give to be 40 again.

There's that saying: Life begins at 40, 50 and so on.

It makes me more determined to improve my physical health. I admit some people have it easier than others.*sighs*

You have wisdom that I have yet to accomplish.

[bk_forever]

I always ignore those sayings. My physical health has been going downhill since my twenties *sighs*

They say wisdom comes with age, but I'm not sure that's true either judging by how many older people seem to missed out on acquiring any.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was going for hopeful?

I could say: Where did I go wrong in my life? Why did I waste my twenties? Sure, physical health can slow anyone down at times. But I'm more grateful when I'm feeling moderately well.

Some people can be fit as a fiddle, but dumb as a doornail. I'm kind of generalising here. All I can say is do what makes you happy to the best of your ability.

I try to learn new things wherever possible. People who have hardships or challenges in life, can be great inspirations for others who maybe feeling stagnant.

I tend to be a bit pessimistic in the middle of winter, especially the way the world is right now. It's the cold and the gloom.

I'm happy enough, I have my writing, and I'm knitting mice.

Okay. I sometimes have my own moments of feeling anything but positive.

Good to know.:)
