What happened on Dust

I feel as if I’ve walked into the middle of someone else’s adventure.

– Third Doctor in Interference (Book One)

There is only one character in Doctor who (that I know of) who 100% knows the Doctor’s Real Name. And it’s Badar.

In the Eighth Doctor Novel Interference (Book one), Badar and the Doctor were both being held prisoner and tortured together. And at first, Badar didn’t want to know the Doctor’s name because he believed that they would both be killed anyways. But, later on, the night before Badar was executed, The Doctor told him his full real name, which was described as being really long.

And this scene was actually extremely heartbreaking and emotional and I almost cried while reading it, and I 100% will recommend that everyone reads it.

(Sorry for poor quality, it’s late and I’m using my phone for the photos).

I haven’t picked up an EDA in a while (sat at 65% through Interference I for… a few weeks.) but within an hour of reading my feels have been hurt by 1) eight breaking apart in prison, my precious mentally-claustrophobic boy, 2) me thinking he’s talking about Sam when BAM it’s actually Ace all along. So happy I watched her run. My beautiful girl. and 3) eight seeing Sarah Jane for just a few moments and being too beat up to be happy about it.

So the rest of it will probably be really chill, right? And the second, too. A walk in the park.

Still holding out hope that’s it’s not Not-Susan, btw. can’t take that away from me.

Y’all are gonna think I’m crazy, but I actually have a lot of feelings about how Miles’ building blocks to The Book of the War, especially Interference and Dead Romance, aim for Cronenberg Videodrome/Scanners and Lynch Fire Walk With Me/Lost Highway, but accidentally hit something much more akin to The End of Evangelion and The Adolescence of Utena. And far less refined than either, messy, seeping. I love it a lot?

#like y’know not intentionally whatsoever and all in the context of being built from Target novelizations lmao #but the Anno Depression And Angry Arc froths in Interference so fucking intensely #and obviously all the EDAs following his lead (especially Planet 5) hit that same energy to varying degrees #actually on that Lynch note the hidden fucked upery about Hiroshima in TBOTW is so The Return adjacent #it almost makes you forget that lore detail wasn’t KNOWN until 2017 #with all the hints in Fire Walk With Me so mired and cut and edited #idk

[heimeldat]

oh crap. Things are actually coming together and making sense. In a way. A muddled up anachronistic problematic way. And I guess I was both right and wrong about Kode...

I continue to like I.M. Foreman as I see more of them. Whatever exactly they are. "Priest" seems like a very incomplete summation of whatever the heck is going on with them.

Look if Eight can kiss a sentient planet taking the form of the woman who killed him that used to be a Gallifreyan who gauged his own eyes out and travelled the universe as part of a literal freak show with his 12 other incarnations and is the reason the TARDIS lands anywhere, then Thirteen should've kissed the sentient universe masquerading as a frog on a chair with the voice of her companion's dead wife.

when I think of adapting my characters to different continuities - especially Eda - the trick for me is not to change the narrative to suit them, but to change them (while keeping the fundamentals) to suit the narrative, then adapt how the narrative progresses after their introduction based upon their overall impact upon other characters and how different canon events would change - or even if they would occur at all.

tfp Eda is the archetype I base all other Edas on, since he's technically the original Eda. in tfp, he's a big and scary yet a pacifist, afraid of everything and everyone new yet outwardly bitter and asocial. fundamentally, though, he's sad at his core; he's an empath (har har); he's stuck in the past, still mourning the death of his lover; his altmode is a planetoid-sized superweapon. these are the most important things I carry over to other iterations of Eda - but only these things. I allow myself extensive room to play around with his characterization and personal timeline a little for each continuity.

(getting into the minutia below the cut)

take tfa Eda, for example - unlike tfp Eda, he's shoved his despair down from the start, and for a much longer time doesn't know it can be weaponized. he's impulsive and tempestuous, but in truth has embraced a sort-of forced apathy disguised as mischief so he doesn't have to deal with his trauma. he seems almost to be tfp Eda's opposite - he'd kick Sentinel clear into Canada on a whim, but he'd rather die than have a heart-to-heart and let all his walls come down - but he's got all the same fundamentals: the sorrow, the empath powers, the time-skip and grief, the unusual altmode. I've just tooled it all around to suit the more playful yet grey-matter-filled narrative of tfa.

as for how the narrative would progress, Eda would change the outright occurrence of certain events. he'd be outwardly hostile toward the Autobots but he'd never actually side with the Decepticons, vying for an end to the war lest they all destroy themselves; he'd plant hints of past atrocities by both the Protectobots and Guardians - those often portrayed as "the good guys" - to those he deems receptive and open-minded; he'd confuse everyone with stories about the Thirteen, who are so lost to time no one is even certain they existed beyond ancient myth and occult religious sects. he sounds and acts like Smaug, but more about balance than greed, willing to converse with anyone who approaches yet refusing to help, warning them all that this conflict was borne of a higher power, one who is destined to return and destroy Cybertron once and for all...

...what did I start off talking about?

#I don't have an asks tag yet #transformers #maccadam #transformers oc #oc: eda of unicron #a major point of contention for Eda would be that Blitzwing reminds him too much of the Quintessons. he'd go out of his way to avoid him - #- because when he remembers the Quintessons that's when the walls start crumbling. #he'd absolutely destroy the Decepticon spacebridge also. post s2 man just wants to be left alone #also sorry that this turned into such a ramble. I should've anticipated the tfa neuron would interfere #oh who am I kidding? anytime I bring up Eda I'm bound to ramble. my apologies again #thewiglesswonder

It's a shame no one can seem to do the Time War well, considering how FASCINATING a conflict it could be, as a cataclysmic event that literally shatters narrative causality in-universe, its splinters echoing backwards and forwards along timelines.

Then again, its ramifications really are more interesting than the event itself, aren't they? I like to think that the apparently disparate continuities of various parts of the series (novels, audios, comics, webcasts, etc.) are directly due to the effects of the Time War, ripples in history turning into tidal waves... and, I think, one could make a solid argument for this being textually the case, too! The Time War, even before it was ever mentioned onscreen, was an apparently inevitable occurrence in some form in nearly every medium.*

It also carries with it this metatextual implication that the Time Lords' existence was unnatural. The anchoring of the thread defied the natural order of reality. Strict, measured, logical linear time under the "care" of the imperial Time Lords... was unsustainable in some form. This was always going to happen, somehow. Whatever face The Enemy wore, the universe would still ensure that they would inevitably break the Time Lords' tyrannical hold on Time.

See them as they appear before the War: all-powerful, menacing, controlling (despite their protestations of non-interference, with that classic imperial "we know what's for the good of Lesser Beings" attitude. And after the War, even after their destruction was undone? All but powerless. Exiled. The incompetence and dysfunction of their stagnant society brought to the foreground. The legends are dead, and their powers of control gone. From a Watsonian perspective, you can even see hints of this elsewhere in the text, with the more outlandish and impressive powers of the Time Lords from the classic series contrasting sharply against the significantly more grounded nature they take on in the revival.

The Time War was NARRATIVELY cataclysmic, it ruptured reality and fiction, but... Nothing onscreen or in the expanded universe has QUITE managed to deliver on what the visible echoes of the War imply. It all tends to go a bit Generic Space Battle. Ironically enough, the series that does the most compelling take on the Time War (the EDAs with the War in Heaven) predates the Time War ever even being named as such.

*Also, from a fannish perspective, it neatly sidesteps the "what is and isn't canon?" argument that people are STILLLLLL going on about. Everything's canon, and if it contradicts something else, whooopeeeee that's evidence of the damage at the heart of the spiral politic.

What do you mean by “Luz gets away with a bunch of things she shouldn’t” in your Owl House post?

One example is that Luz gets banned from Hexide early on, only for Eda to later make a deal with the principal to get her back in But she is a human who cannot actually use any of the magic taught there because she relies on elemental runes she has to figure out herself later on, so it's awkward for the principal to be like "Yeah we can learn a lot having human exchange student in our doors!" when she kinda just causes trouble there most of the season I think she tells her close friends about the runes later on, so she does end up being useful technically to some degree, but it's not really used until season 2 Also, it is illegal to not join a coven. Because of this illegality- it is against the school rules to be in more than one class; especially when the inspector comes around. the school can get into big trouble if kids are taking more than one magic class and because of Luz's interference (along with a few other kids she inspires in detention), the school is like "okay! you're allowed to excel in more than one magic now" when really this can get their entire school shut down Luz is unable to actually learn anything because they don't use runes for magic like she does, so she's kinda putting a ton of people at risk with that There's also a ton of other moments where her life is in danger, and she escapes or solves the issue by sheer dumb luck

I still need to rewatch Owl House so my rambles would probably be more accurate or clearer later, but from my memory, I was shocked so often at how little consequence Luz suffered. I think the only thing she ever freaked out over was teaching the bad guy special runes that arguably gave him his power, but that was a forgivable problem since she just wanted to help a fellow human, she had no idea this guy was basically Satan

#shes just a highly uninformed untaught human witch-otaku who doesnt really understand consequences nor is she cautious #in a cruel strange world of witches- like she eventually realizes shes a witch-otaku and finally becomes self aware over it but #Eda doesnt teach her anything and Luz's life is put in danger so many times because of it #she gets banned and unbanned from the school so many times its almost laughable #the school itself is highly dangerous and unsafe for a non-witch #and is also extremely creepy and unsafe for actual witches honestly #owl house had some difficulty addressing the horror tone they kept trying to implement #but ill save any other critique for a proper video i can be 100% sure of my opinion on #the owl house #the owl house critical #text post #ask
