- …we’ve been at it for ages. - must be love…

#oh dear my emotions they are aggghfkgkgky sad

[lokittystuckinatree]

if I had a nickel for everytime two tragically in love immortal non human beings who have been best friends for over 2000 years who only have eachother since the rest of their species are out to kill them and one of them says "i forgive you" in the worst possible dramatic moment and one of the two is also played by David Tennant

I'd have two nickles, which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.

The False God and the Devil They Know: Wishful Overthinking about Religious Overtones in Post-Timeless-Child-Arc Thoschei

Disclaimer: my knowledge on anything other than all 13 + seasons of New Who is limited, but not overly lacking, and I wasn’t raised religious but do have enough of an Italian Catholic background to notice good old fashioned Christian parallels

The Doctor

The Doctor as the unwitting “creator god” of the time lords

Abrahamic religions starting out polytheistic, the Doctor as a god amongst other more powerful gods

The Doctor as a wrathful God; God technically committed genocide against humanity, leaving Noah to make his arc with two of every species

Objectively a coincidence but guess which two idiots survived the time war

The Doctor as a god who chooses a life of service to mortals and “rejecting” godhood aka power. Very Jesus of them.

The real possibility that the timeless child is not a chosen one but a victim of circumstance, a typical example of their kind from the other universe

The Doctor is just like us. (If you are autistic and have ADHD and abandonment issues lol)

The Doctor and unconditional love and forgiveness at the cost of their moral stability, especially for the Master, their original sin and greatest exception

The Master

The Master as the fallen angel, golden child of god who turned to evil and desired power/attention for themself

Missy, the Lumiat, and returning to “the light”

Rogue child of god who didn’t fit the mold, questioned the authority of the one true god

Satan and the Master as a figure of lesser power and status rising in prominence to rival the influence of the God that created them

Power corrupting someone who just wanted to be important

A seductive figure that tricks and tempts the Good Guys and engages their dark side

The Master, Cyber Time Lords, and “Satan cannot create as God does, only warp their creations” (Tolkien has entered the chat)

Best Enemies, Worst Soulmates

We all know the Jesus/Judas thing, but what about Jesus/Antichrist, or God/Satan

The Antichrist as a foil for Jesus and Satan as a foil for God

The deal with Death and how the Doctor could have become the Master and vice verse, even should have been before he intervened in their fates

Theta’s first sins, murder and deception and betrayal, revolved around Koschei

Anti soulmate trope: Linked by fate, destined to battle forever, could have been happy together under different circumstances, soulmates are made not found

Regeneration and the inherent holiness of transformation and being trans (not relevant but trans rights!)

They are THE narrative foils and power couple above everyone else in the Whoniverse come onnnn

They’re each other’s person and only they can truly understand each other, even after how much their paths have diverged.

The Doctor humbles the Master, the Master keeps the Doctor grounded to their Gallifreyan roots.

Good Always Wins, love is redeeming. The Doctor helps the Master see beauty and love in the world through their unconditional love for them.

I hope, in the distant future, the show ends with a more morally secure Doctor and a redeemed Master happily in love, running away to the stars together, never to be seen again.

They’re totally endgame guys trust me (I’m delusional)

Feel free to add! I’d love to hear what other parallels people find. And what glaringly obvious things I missed…

River Song from Doctor Who

Please reblog for a larger sample size.

#the nos have to be misclicks lol #i’m so gay for her

#OOOOOOOOOooooo yes

A fantastic encounter for River Song! Christopher Eccleston's Doctor meets his timey-wimey wife in STAR-CROSSED, a new series of audio adventures from @bigfinish 💕🎧 #DoctorWho

#oooooh I can’t freaking WAIT to get my hands on the big finish stuff #one of THE it couples of Doctor Who am i right?? #I’m so binging everything River Song the moment I’m done with new who

"what does a TARDIS malfunction sound like?"

"idk just dump the entire goofy sound effects library in the span of 10 seconds. That should do it"

#the thing is that this is this is perfect

Out of every single relationship in the Whoniverse, whatever the Doctor and the Master have going on just hits different. Like a rock. I’m sure everyone feels this way about their fave Doctor ship, but my experience is that once you go Thoschei, you cannot go back. Given the narrative symmetry, character foiling, interwoven parallels, tragically dramatic irony, frustratingly unspeakable ambiguous romance that defies traditional ship canonization in the true chaotic spirit of Doctor Who, and a unique backstory setup that allows the characters to have history that other individuals cannot match, while fate (and the format of the show) pushes them together over and over again indefinitely, without hope of lasting reconnection lest the setup break, the Doctor and Master’s codependent anti-soulmate life or death partnership arguably cheapens every other pairing beyond comparison. Their tragedy never leaves you. (And keeps you up at night)

#everyone else is in a space opera or spy thriller and Thoschei are in a Greek tragedy #no thoughts only Thoschei #frey’s timey wimey whovian era #I’m really new here but FUCK they gobbled me brains like a flesh eating infection #Thoschei #doctor/master #doctor who #is Thoschei technically canon? yes. does it still feel like a fever dream? yes #if they ever kiss (romantically) again it will send the world into shock and frenzy #Twissy #spydoc #tensimm #etc.

HI REMEMBER WHEN THEY SAID THE DOCTOR HAD ONE CONSTANT COMPANION? AND IT WAS DEATH? REMEMBER WHEN THEY SAID THE MASTER WAS DEATHS CHAMPION. REMEMBER THE MASTER DESCRIBING HIMSELF AS DEATH. (“BECOME ME, BECOME DEATH”). WHAT DO WE THINK LADS

#I’m gonna kill someone (myself) if this lunacy (Thoschei brainrot) persists #soulmates in the worst way #not to be delusional but I’m calling endgame #the year is 2197: the very last episode of Doctor Who ends with the Doctor and the Master running away to the stars together hand in hand #or they smooch and then kill each other #lmao

[lokittystuckinatree]

People exist who actually want the Master to be written out of the show? Even temporarily? They’re like…the only other reoccurring character. The only other active character that can be recasted. Almost as central and iconic to the show as Cybermen or Daleks. Infamous for coming back from the dead. The Doctor’s person.

#this one gets a reblog lmaooo

[lokittystuckinatree]

and i'll still see until i die, you're the loss of my life.

#I saw a video edit to this song on insta and almost fucking died to death

The Wedding of River Song really hits different when you watch everything in her chronological order. "I can't let you die without knowing you are loved by so many and so much. And by no one more than me." But she's barely met him. She met him in Berlin before she was even herself. She doesn't know him and love him through her own interactions with him. She grew up with Amy telling her stories of the space man who said he would come back. She was trained to be a psychopath with one purpose in her life: to kill the Doctor. The one time she met him he told her to tell River Song something (I will die on the hill that he told her to tell River Song that he loves her). Only after that did she realize she was River Song. And then he left her a present. And she became an archeologist because she wanted to find a good man. She learned so much about him by studying him through archeology. And then she's forced to kill him. And she already calls him "my love." And she blows up time because she can't bear to kill him and she doesn't care about the consequences because she'll suffer more than every living thing in the universe if she has to kill him. This man that she was able to fall in love with without hardly ever meeting him because she was supposed to be the perfect weapon against him but she's too full of love to let them turn her into that so she had to do something else with all the knowledge they gave her instead.

Twelfth doctor era is beauty and the beast. It’s Orpheus and Eurydice. It’s Rochester and Jane and the mad wife in the attic.
