only good thing abt the vous situation is that it lets me experience tecteun calling 13 the child that im 100% convinced she actually would bc shes the only one who uses tu for her
#what language do you think theyre actually speaking
#bc like on top of all the other um disconcerting stuff abt the whole situation on that spaceship for 13
#iamgine walking into that tree room and refinding that woman there and then she starts talking to you in like. this ancient gallifreyan
#like old high gallifreyan hours
#a language you only kinda learnt at school a couple millennia ago
#im a big believer of the doctor and the master speaking gallifreyan when theyre alone i have fun with that in fic
#(i dont think they speak entirely the same native language i think gallifryan is a diglossia but not the point)
#but neither of them Speak old high like thats a dead language
#i think 13 would drop into gallifreyan after opening in english
#'hello im the doctor' in you know good old sheffield english
#and then tecteun responds with 'i know' but in like....fucking latin
#latin is probably not the best analogy but i dont know the history of english
#old english i gues but we dont really learn that in school
#anyway imagine how disconcerting
#and i imagine she'd switch to gallifreyan sure but like. her modern mountain gallifreyan from lungbarrow right?
#that vs tecteuns fucking classical dead textbook gallifreyan
#or thats how it would feel to the doctor bc tecteun is pre-timelord. this is just her language
#or....her language would be what would later become old high
#so maybe she speaks to her Child as she used to actual eons ago
#and to the doctor the closest this sounds like is old high gallifreyan bc she doesnt remember this language any more than tecteuns eyes
#it's close-enough-sorta-dead-gallifreyan-???
#so she switches to the closest shes got. which is just. lungbarrowian
#tecteun trying to rewrite history and the doctor not-entirely-on-purpose re-establishing the one she has/knows/remembers
#holding on to her actual history
#which tecteun tries to rewrite/unwrite/dig out from under known history with this old old gallifreyan
#anyway. more language thoughts of this evening
