Dr Who: The Brigadier is a silly military man. He's stubborn, and unflappable, and extremely loyal to the Doctor and his men (soldiers). This man can deal with anything, like a champ. Water off his back, yknow?

Lethbridge-Stewart books: This dude is getting traumatised every single day and he doesn't get a moment's break. Anything that could happen to him, will. Will he cope with the trauma? not really. He's a resilient dude, but he'll just pretend most of it didn't happen, for his own sanity

#rambles #classic doctor who #brigadier lethbridge stewart #ok ok ok i cant say every book is like that because there's so. many. books... but the first two are #(i think 'forgotten son' is set only a couple months after 'web of fear'. 'schizoid earth' is set probably not even a month after #'forgotten son'.) at the end of 'schizoid earth' he tells his colleague/friend what he went through and how he doesnt know if he was #interrogated or in fact tortured (im in the camp of 'pumping him with drugs that force him the tell the truth and also make it so he can't #trust his senses and he's unable to tell whats real or not' is torture. it still hadnt worn off when he got back) and his colleague said he #couldnt take a week off. he legit doesn't get a break T-T #updating the tag - i've started the third book and the prologue is just about alistair's shit mental health and now he isnt really dealing #with it because honestly how IS he meant to deal with it?
