Sometimes I think about Midnight and what being possessed/manipulated by the Midnight creature was like for the Doctor.

Midnight is terrifying in so many ways, and one of them is the complete lack of control the Doctor has in the situation. He's the Doctor, the on coming storm, one of the most feared beings in the universe. He's faced daleks and cybermen and the literal Devil but he's always been in control.

But not here, in this tiny shuttle with a bunch of scared humans. At first, he isn't in control of the situation because of how their fear makes them turn on each other, makes them turn on him. Then he literally isn't in control of his own body. This entity he knows nothing about has taken hold of him and he becomes a passenger in his own body, helpless as the humans turn on him and nearly end him for the crime of standing out, of being different, something that's put him in danger his whole life and in this tiny shuttle on an small vacation planet surrounded by humans, far away from his TARDIS, far away from his companion, it nearly ends him.

Do you think he was still aware when the Midnight entity took control of him? Do you think he was trapped in his own body? A body that was created to be free to love, now his prison.

Do you think he could feel it as the Midnight creature encroached on his mind? Do you think he only noticed when it was too late? Do you think he tried everything in his power, every telepathic and psychic trick he could pull off to free himself? How terrified do you think he was when he found it wasn't enough? That this unknown being could overpower the mind of a Timelord?

Art I made of Academy Era Theta Sigma. I don't draw people often, especially not digitally but I'm proud of how this one came out, especially since I did it using a colour pallet.

The colour pallet I used is under the cut

Honestly, Ryan wasn't even a bad companion he just wasn't utilised properly. His YouTube channel should've been a central part of his character. Maybe have him been the one to record everything. Maybe have him actually know Two Girls Roaming in Praxeus because he watched their videos or gets filming tips from them. His relationship with his dad should've been threaded throughout s11 so his appearance in Resolution stuck. Maybe he shouldn't have forgiven him in the person-forgives-neglectful-parent-because-family-can-do-no-wrong trope but chosen Graham as his new father figure so that 'call me grandad' actually hits harder. Maybe have Thirteen be his father figure instead, building on the way Ryan tends to follow her instructions the most out of the fam. His feelings about Grace should've been in the spotlight. Maybe have him find Grace in the alt universe. Maybe have him be the one to try and kill Tim Shaw. Maybe have him be the one dream about Grace in Can You Hear Me. Maybe take the Graham scenes and replace him with Ryan.. y'know.. Grace's whole grandson...? Maybe also address the fact his mum died and bc his dad left he was left all alone as a child??? And that should've been his Can You Hear Me nightmare instead of throwing in the dregs unprovoked?? His mechanic skills should've been a key trait too. Maybe have him fix the ship with Thirteen in Tsuranga instead of Yaz. Maybe have him, Tesla, and Thirteen talk about the joy of building and fixing things. Maybe have him go with Nevi and Silas in Orphan 55 to work together on mechanic stuff but also show Ryan's longing for a father-son relationship like theirs. (And make Yaz fight the dregs instead bc wasn't she the one with police training...).

His feelings for Yaz and Bella could've been sorted out properly. Maybe have Ryasmin for a few eps but stop bc space-time travel overcomplicates things or to set things up for Yaz' coming out and Thasmin. Maybe address the fact Bella likely died on Orphan 55 and have it cause tension between Ryan and Thirteen bc she refused to help her. And Ryan's Blackness. Maybe have Ryan be the one to disagree with the plan and try to help Rosa instead. Maybe have him explain who she is to the others instead of having the only Black guy in the cast not know who Rosa Parks is.

There was so much potential man. So so so so much...

#op is so right! #i wish they did something with his disability #explore how it affects his life or any personal issues he has because of it #but no its just “i cant ride a bike :(” like they shouldve represented his dyspraxia so much better #its crazy how Ryan is at the center of these complex and difficult familial struggles but they never do anything abt it #dead mom deadbeat dad the grief of losing his gran who raised him #and then they do nothing #most of the exploration of the grief from grace's death is focused on graham but like Ryan is her GRANDSON? who she raised?? #his character could be replaced by a cardboard cutout in most scenes and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference #ryan sinclair #doctor who

Chapter 12. Now for some Theta content. Mind the content warnings in the beginning notes.

Fic Summary:

An AU where instead of hiding the timeless child, Tecteun creates a false narrative around them and how they "gifted" the timelords with their regenerations. All the while continuing to experiment on and isolate them from the world. This is the story of how a boy with drums in his head met a boy who wanted to see the universe, and how they changed eachothers lives.

Chapter Summary:

Theta tries to settle back into the way his life was before meeting Koschei.

So I was watching Ramshackle pilot, incredible no notes. But as I was watching this lovable trio

Something kept itching at the back of my brain and then I realised.

Them:

The Ramshackle trio is exactly how I had always imagined the Doctor, Master, and Rani's dynamic was back at the Academy!

#pls tell me im not the only one who sees it #i swear i can never escape the dw thoughts #snackleggg speaks #doctor who #ramshackle #doctor who academy era

The Doctor being associated with Life (regeneration) and the Master being associated with Death will never not make me feral with the symbolism

So you know how death said that “by rights” the doctor should’ve been the master and vice versa. But some other unknown force wanted to see the doctor like. Not go insane with guilt their whole childhood I guess. Yeah well now with the timeless child thing I’m not saying I know anything more I’m just saying it makes sense? The master was disposable but the timeless child means the doctor probably was not

#doctor who #while the execution of the timeless child reveal was questionable the implications it has on the DW universe is fascinating to explore #the master: im mad because im not your equal (<- is literally Death's disciple)

prev post thoschei academy au where their friendship begins because koschei wants to use theta for chess proxy wars, and they become inseparable. (theta also doesn’t ever win a single match. something that definitely has nothing to do with the fact that losing means koschei will yell at him that he ‘knows he’s smarter than this’ and ‘can’t believe he’d stumble into such an obvious trap’. (koschei voice) fine. we’re going over everything you did wrong for the next three hours, you will have my undivided attention until you can get this right. (theta voice) oh noooo 🥴🥴🥰🥰

#thoschei #this would be so in character for them honestly #op your mind #it reminds me of that one ClassicWho scene where Jo beats the Doctor at checkers while the Master is just there waiting for them to finish

The parallels between 9 vs 10's characterization and 12 vs 13's characterization is making me feel things.

The fact that both 9 and 12 put on this snappish, gruff and closed off facade but were actually so kind and caring and felt so much so strongly and when it mattered most they opened up about their emotions to their loved ones

Vs 10 and 13 having an optimistic and happy facade that they use to hide and repress their emotions and try and distance themselves from their loved ones out of fear of being hurt again and they could be cold and cruel at times because of it

#doctor who #that one post about how ten was more afraid of love than nine also applies to 13 and 12 #the doctor

Chapter 11. Koschei is struggling a little

Fic Summary:

An AU where instead of hiding the timeless child, Tecteun creates a false narrative around them and how they "gifted" the timelords with their regenerations. All the while continuing to experiment on and isolate them from the world. This is the story of how a boy with drums in his head met a boy who wanted to see the universe, and how they changed eachothers lives.

Chapter Summary:

Koschei has alot to think about. The Deca worry.

Classic Who traditions that should be utilised more in NuWho:

Rock murder

Bubble rap

Really bad "Doctor who?"puns

Musical stings
