I just (finally) listened to Time Lord Immemorial, an audiodrama featuring the 9th Doctor, the Lumiat, the Unbound Doctor and Liv... and oh my god. Oh my fucking god. My thoschei heart. Might have spoilers ahead, or not, idk, you've been warned.
I thought I couldn't love the Lumiat more but this audio showed how one of the many differences between her and her other incarnations (aka the Master) is that she's able to unapologetically express her feelings for the Doctor. Seriously everyone go listen to TLI every single time she spoke to the Doctor I could just hear her heart eyes.
Two quotes absolutely broke me.
"Hello, Thete!" - SPOKEN IN THE WARMEST, SWEETEST VOICE. MY HEART MELTED. All this made me think was that this is a snippet of what their relationship was like in their youth.
Oh and THIS:
"Say the thing, please!"
"Run!"
"With you, my friend, anywhere!"
LIKE!!! Imagine young Koschei loving Theta so much, hearing him ramble on and on and on about all the planets and stars he wants to see, and how they'll go together, and Koschei buys into that idea because yeah, it could be fun, but also because honestly? He'll go anywhere with Theta.
I have no words. I- I don't even know what else to say I just love them so much???

River meeting versions of the Doctor pre-Library does actually still make sense. Although she did tell 10 that that was the youngest version she's ever seen of him which implies that she's met an older 10 (14? 👀) and we've been able to get glimpses of those thanks to Big Finish and the Day of the Doctor novelization, who are we to say that she was not referring to the Doctor in their entirety and just meant it per her meetings with 10? If it doesn't make sense for her to meet pre-Library Doctors, why then would the TARDIS describe them as wool wrapped 'round and 'round each other? Even Missy herself acknowledged that River is a complex space-time event that would cause a bunch of paradoxes and rip time apart if something happened to her. She teased her relentlessly though ...and so did River. And I still think too much of Missy's genuine offer of condolences when she knew that 12 had left Darillium.
They're an ouroboros - River and the Doctor. You can never tell where their beginning or ending is. They are always happening across time and space. And I think it befits them.
The way they always try to spend more time with each other, breaking laws just for each other, their fierce protectiveness for each other, even when the Doctor has no idea who River is.

MASTER ALERT!!
"When things turn dark, and you're all alone, there is one traveller of time and space... a wanderer in the fourth dimension... a renegade Time Lord... who will always be there to bring back the light.
But the thing about Time Lords... is they can't all be heroes."
Big Finish Productions presents Dark Gallifrey, a brand-new series showcasing the most chaotic, mischievous and evil Time Lords the planet has ever produced. Morbius (Samuel West), The War Master (Sir Derek Jacobi), Missy (Michelle Gomez) and the Master (Eric Roberts) will each take turns to feature in their own three-part story, with more to follow.
Coming April 2024!

I just finished the big finish audio book called "master" and when I tell you this changed my brain chemistry
sylvester mccoys acting skills alone almost made me cry like my god can this man voice act
The story in general is fucking amazing and made my jaw drop every time
Not to mention this is my first time listening to an audio thing, ever.
The story also gose into the backstory of the doctor and the masters past in a beautifully tragic way
This audio is one of the best peices of media from doctor who I have seen, its completely free on Spotify so if you can please listen to it I need someone to talk to about it.
