GOOD LORD i have not been able to think about anything else but Fig's undying devotion to her friends since last night's episode. I wonder if she's actually going to persue the paladin stuff, and if she does I wonder if they're going to make her a custom oath??? i know mechanically, oath of devotion is pretty versatile, but ALSO it would be so cool to find something that's so Fig. the way you could combine the warlock "relationships & agreements" stuff to an oath.... her love for her friends is so powerful :(

something i'm thinking about that's making me a little hesitant of the specials is that i very obviously see that they're trying to have Fourteen (still gritting my teeth when I say that) parallel Ten and fix some of Ten's mistakes. and yeah that's cool! the Tenth Doctor has the fascinating character arc that is really interesting to dissect and parallel. we've already seen The End of Time parallels with Donna & Rose saying that you need to let it go (vs Ten's "I don't want to go."). the glass wall in Meep's spaceship paralleling the radiation chamber with Wilf. Fourteen saying "Why does it have to be this?!" instead of "Why does it have to be me?!" and logically the best way to justify David Tennant coming back as the Doctor is to say this new mini-era is to fix the Tenth Doctor's mistakes and respond to that era of the show.
but my issue is that we already did that. the Twelfth Doctor's era is such a perfect response to Ten's. Ten often hid behind their whimsical charisma until it bubbled over (most notably in the Time Lord Victorious arc) but Twelve always had that brutal honesty and darkness and instead learned to embrace whimsy and kindness over time. Twelve was put in a similar position as Ten & Donna where they believed the only way for Clara to live is to erase her memory and Clara calls him out on that bullshit because she won't have her memories and her life stolen from her and instead the Doctor's memories are wiped. both Ten and Twelve's era have an immortal character (Jack & Ashildr/Me) and Jack is in love with the Doctor and pretty blatantly hero worships them whereas Ashildr does. not. like. the. Doctor. and challenges their views. Twelve and Missy managed to have the healthiest relationship that the Doctor and the Master ever had when uh. Ten & Simm!Master very much did not. Twelve managed to stay in one place on Darillium for 24 years and at St Luke's for at least 70 years while Ten constantly needed to move forward. Ten was the first Doctor to meet and remember River while Twelve was the last (onscreen at least). Ten agonized about sacrificing themself for Wilf, for one innocent because they believed they could have been so much more, and Twelve doesn't hesitate for one moment over laying down their life for a doomed village in The Doctor Falls. Ten's last words are "I don't want to go." and Twelve's last words are "Doctor, I let you go."
i'm not against Fourteen mending their past mistakes and i expect these parallels to continue but i really hope there's something more to Fourteen having their old face back because frankly i don't think we can parallel and dissect Ten's era any better than Twelve's era did.

Louis becoming numb and dissociating was heartbreaking
He decided that he was never going to get out or find something better and he just fucking surrendered and gave in to Lestat’s nightmarish love
But thankfully Claudia is a fucking godsend and though she tried to leave, she refused to give up on Louis and told him to find her if he needed her. She knew he’d go back to him but she wasn’t going to stand there and blame him. She just offered reassurance, love, and a safe haven if he needed it. And then when Lestat forced her back she refused to give up and made the ultimate decision to free them both for good and I fucking love her for that
