i love seeing the difference between nuwho and classic who bc the revived eras like 'he just saved the universe for the 5th time, the lonely god, there are entire galaxies afraid of him' and then classic whos like 'in today's episode our favourite silly guy the doctor runs over a dude with a boat and beats up like 20 people with his bare fists. stay tuned for more'

They’ll never do a Hitman level set in a Furry Convention because gamers would absolutely ruin it but imagine. like the target isn’t a furry he just owns a hotel that happens to have one every year but you can disguise yourself in a fursuit and some guy will ask you “what species is your sona” and 47 would be like “a wolf. i always felt a connection with…hunters.” and then diana would be like “let’s see if you can sniff out some information, furrty-seven” and then he comes to my house and kills me for writing this

Oh no, now I'm picturing John walking in on Ianthe and Kiriona licking each other's organs. Instead of being grossed out he's like "That's what A-- and M-- used to do," and then starts to sob hysterically, which makes everything so much worse

Biggest hindrance of Doctor Who being a family show is that it ends up preventing authenticity. By which I specifically mean there's no damn way that Donna's response to some of the things The Doctor says wouldn't have been "Fuck off."

This is a small thing, but I find it so interesting that the lyctors wear iridescent white robes. The text describes them as being the color of an oily sheen on water, and there's symbolism there of course, but a thing I've discovered (while trying to do a TLT cosplay) is that white iridescent fabric is always polyester. Plastic-based, terrible-for-the-environment, beloved-of-fast-fashion polyester. It doesn't breathe. Every time you wash it, it leaves behind microplastics in the water (which is maybe something to be examined about the Mithraeum's water recycling system). It's a major product of the oil industry, an industry which is heavily contributing to, if not spearheading, climate change.

And I think it's just so incredibly in character that John - the man who was given the power to save the Earth but instead started WWIII, trapped Her soul in the body of a Barbie, and has used Her as his personal power source for a myriad without a care for what She wants - picked a polyester fabric as the symbol of the First House.

Likely, he didn't even think about it.

John has a doctorate so I think we should start calling him Dr. Warcrimes

Thematically it makes perfect sense for the stoma to treat John as a Resurrection Beast because he has very much made himself Earth's revenant. Forget the literal here for a minute, forget that he became God by achieving perfect lyctorhood with Earth's resurrection beast as his cavalier; this man has turned himself into the hungry ghost of Earth. He has spent ten thousand years chasing revenge against the people he holds responsible for Earth's death. They've been dead for 9,900 of those years? Irrelevant, they've got descendants, they'll do. He has a chance to have back all the people he most loved in life? Great! But only if he can use them to advance his quest for revenge. In fact, better make half of his friends kill the other half so that they have to take on his quest too to justify it to themselves. If that keeps their power from matching his, well that's a bonus.

He brought humanity back from the dead. He could've rebuilt into the kind of world he used to be fighting for. He could've turned his immense power and influence towards trying to reverse the horrific damage that had been done to Earth. And the damage was horrific, but he had all the time in the world. He could've rebuilt his found family, and shared in the genuine love they all had for each other as they continued to fight for a better future.

But he didn't. He abandoned Earth to rot. He sent his new society forth like a plague to bring the ruin of Earth to every other planet he could reach. He manipulated his friends into mutilating themselves into weeping weapons that he could aim at an enemy that didn't even exist anymore.

John the man died with Earth. The Prince Undying is only a revenant.
