#the timeless child
DW Finale Spoilers:
Okay but like how much did they have to extract in order to turn an entire species into time lord hybrids? How many times was she killed before that was figured out? How many times was her mind forcefully wiped? And yet she became kind anyway. Someone who was orphaned and stolen and experimented on, until not even knowing all of that- she ran away and set out to help everyone she could. Having no tolerance for those who hurt others, even if she couldn’t remember, just because if she could help, she would.
And now there’s a chance she can find her real home. Her real people.
I don’t really think anything of the character was destroyed. The Time Lords are still despicable, and The Doctor is still an ordinary person, who was used, and who is still incredible just because of their own actions and stories and choices.
This is exactly why I love this new addition to canon
Doctor Who: The Vanquishers | The House of Lungbarrow
“What are you waiting for, Doctor? Go inside, take a look. Meet the selves you’ve lost.”
“No.”
Doctor Who Spoilers…
So I just finished the newest season of Doctor Who and I can’t help but feel that the Master is not only insane, bloodthirsty, and reckless, but also completely suicidal. He wants to die. He craves death. The way he eggs the Doctor on, begging her to detonate the Death Particle. The way his face falls when she doesn’t. He always seems to come back, every time we think he’s gone. I bet every time he faces death he desperately wishes that it will actually be permanent this time. Every time he comes back he gets angrier, he goes a little more mad, he gets even more desperate for death. Because whatever force is controlling everything just won’t let him die. And he resents it. All that resentment just builds and builds. So he takes it out on the Doctor’s Earth, the Doctor’s friends, the Doctor’s own planet. He pushes her and pushes her in hopes that one day she’ll snap. That she’ll finally finish the job and end his misery.
the timeless children
the doctor faces her earlier (perhaps original) self
the doctor, a person of science, faces the revelation that her earliest self was abused by her adopted mother in the name of science, and that if not for this, her entire species wouldn’t exist as they do
what is the child thinking? we may never know
they say that part of growing up is learning to parent yourself, to fix some of what your actual parents got wrong.
working on a semi-realistic figure of The Timeless Child (with help of a headsculpt from @modernwizard of course), but for now, here’s this.
