Doctor Who is about the human condition, it's about silly outfits, it's about the power ordinary people can wield, it's about ridiculous haircuts, it's about the abiding love for humanity, it's about one alien weirdo and their jealous girlfriend of a time machine, it's about helping the most vulnerable, it's about christmas-cracker-level puns, it's about protecting the innocent, it's about a butch Australian lesbian flirting with her alien scientist roommate, it's about how good will always triumph over evil, it's about two platonic besties passing their shared brain cell back and forth, it's about kindness and the intrinsic power of hope, it's about a sapphic alien making heart-eyes whenever her bestie talks about reversing the polarity-

Today I dragged Tegan and Nyssa out of the little jar I keep them in most of the time and trapped them in the computer to help pixelated baby turtles hatch:

(ramblings under the cut)

MY GOD these two were so difficult to make in the sims😭😔I guess here's a comparison with their reference pictures though I'm not really sure why I'm showing this since all it does is highlight how different they look:

(obviously I could never match Nyssa's incredible hair so I didn't try very hard lmfao)

outfits basically stolen from this post and this post (kinda) so thanks for that<33 (with the limits put on me by how outfits in the sims work😒)

back in the jar they go!!:

Cradle of the Snake Part 4: Turlough Falls for the Same Trick Twice

There's a pattern here. Also, some Fun With Tegan and Nyssa

Team Mara talks and talks and talks to the crowd for a bit, so it's easy to just stop paying attention at some point. But, we get to hear the Real Doctor that the Mara!Doctor has mentally buried somewhere.

Real Doctor fighting the Mara sounds a lot like Mara!Doctor pretending to be Real Doctor.

Meanwhile, Tegan and Turlough are in Time Out and trying to think of a way to save the day. We get the expected Turlough Suggests Running Away moment. It's the only time he really does this.

Also, Turlough doesn't some to comprehend Mara!Nyssa as not Nyssa. She'll somehow still be on their side. Weirdly enough, he's sort of right. He's also quite confident that he'll be able to control the TARDIS by himself, though pretty much all of Five's companions control the TARDIS at some point. Even the Team Normal. The TARDIS just really likes Five's companions.

The day is at least in the process of being saved by Baala showing up. Turlough is the one who can get help from Friends He Made Along the Way, despite being the least social member of the TARDIS Team. He didn't exactly go out of his way to make those friends though, so it's funny. Baala is Turlough's friend now because they're both scared.

Turlough will now admit to being scared of the Doctor. Tegan is being mean because she's understandably upset about the Mara.

Speaking of Tegan, it's time for Fun with Tegan and Nyssa! Baala and Turlough go to make a phone call while Tegan sneaks back into the TARDIS to talk to Nyssa. Nyssa doesn't attempt to harm Tegan, nor to possess her.

Mara!Nyssa borders on being a Token Good Teammate. Her dark side just isn't very dark. She drinks alcohol, wears red and black, and flirts with the men, but she's not as malicious as Mara!Doctor is. Unlike Baala, there is something in Nyssa for the Mara to work with, but it still can't really get a whole lot of evil out of her, especially where Tegan is involved. Nyssa has to be nice to Tegan.

But, there's also a reoccurring element of Mara possession where Mara!Characters say and act on the mean things they might sometimes think about their friends. In Part 1, it was the fact that Tegan felt left out of the Alien Genius Bond the Doctor, Nyssa, and Turlough have. Part 3 had the Doctor's frustration with Tegan's complaining and Turlough's disobedience. Now it's Nyssa's turn.

Mara!Nyssa is evil enough to want to backstab Mara!Doctor and take over Team Mara for herself, but it seems like part of her reasoning is that the Doctor is mean. Mara!Nyssa isn't entirely wrong that the Doctor can sometimes be a bit of a bully in the way she described. Sulking or shouting. He does sulk. He does shout at his companions, sometimes without much justification. He's not like that all the time, but he's capable of it. And Nyssa would notice, though she's the one he shouts at the least. Tegan, on the other hand, tends to be the one this happens to the most. Nyssa's suppressed mean thoughts about the Doctor is "he's mean to Tegan". Mara!Nyssa still likes Tegan.

Mara!Doctor shows up, Tegan hides, and Mara!Nyssa covers for her. Nyssa's repressed dark side will still go out of her way to protect Tegan. This implies that either Nyssa loves Tegan so much that the Mara can't take that from her or that Nyssa likes Tegan in a "dark" way, as well as in her usual way, so her dark side alone still likes her.

Though Mara!Nyssa doesn't try to possess Tegan, she still kind of wants to keep her around in some way.

I would like to thank Sarah Sutton for delivering that last line as suggestively as possible. Yeah, the Mara plays up Nyssa's sexuality by having her flirt with the men of Team Mara, so it makes sense to interpret this as Nyssa's Horny for Tegan.

We get a bit more of Nyssa's dark side in that she's aware that she's still a Space Princess. Even if she's a nice Space Princess, she still has a bit of a sense of superiority from being royalty.

In fact, Tegan is the only member of Team TARDIS who is a commoner. The Doctor is a Time Lord, after all. Nyssa's royalty, Adric was an Elite, and Turlough is of an Imperial Clan. They're all of some form of nobility except for Tegan. Another reason for her to feel left out. All of he friends are alien scientific geniuses born into wealth and power and she is none of those things.

When Turlough shows up, he plays along with Tegan, both acting loyal to Nyssa, since she doesn't want to possess or kill them.

Meanwhile, Team Mara waits for Nyssa to join them. Kerrem thought he was the scientific expert around here and doesn't appreciate Nyssa showing him up. Dadda's cool with it because he thinks she's hot and the Doctor still seems proud of her. He chose her for their team because she's just that brilliant.

Mara!Nyssa is planning to backstab Mara!Doctor. Kerrem and Rick are also trying to take control. Mara!Doctor is generally sick of everyone's shit, except for Nyssa. This could imply something about the Doctor similar to what was implied about Nyssa and Tegan. Mara!Nyssa and Mara!Doctor even flirt a bit.

So, Adric had a crush on Nyssa. Tegan/Nyssa is basically canon now. And it's implied and different points in this story that both the Doctor and Turlough also have feelings for her. Nyssa has too much power.

So, Nyssa must really like Tegan and the Doctor must really like Nyssa. This has gotten out of hand and I sincerely apologize. Let's try to move on.

Mara!Doctor's support of Nyssa doesn't extend to Tegan and Turlough. The Mara is kind of bored of Tegan now and it had too much trouble trying to possess Turlough. So it just wants to kill them now.

Nyssa is confused by this. Even Mara!Nyssa kind of thinks the Doctor should love all of them.

But, we've gone too long without Turlough. Let's get back to Turlough. Tegan and Turlough set up a Mirror Circle Thing on the Mara!Doctor, which knocks him out.

And the first sign that this might be the Real Doctor, and that the Real Doctor is hurt, Turlough apparently immediately goes to him. Tegan doesn't want to get close, so she sort of asks Turlough to check, but she has to remind him not to touch him. "Don't touch him!" is an exclamation, so it's not just an instruction, but a response to Turlough either touching or clearly going to touch the Doctor. Turlough is normally pretty cautious, but the second the Mara might be gone, he hurries over to the Doctor's side with no sense of caution whatsoever. It will happen again.

Eventually Tegan, Turlough, and Baala go off into Dreamland, where Nyssa and Dadda are hanging out. Nyssa doesn't know what Mara!Nyssa is even doing. The Doctor isn't there, even though he should be if the other Mara!People are. What happens next is a bit unclear. What is clear is that it is specifically Turlough who's dragged into it.

This is either the Real Doctor breaking through, but the Mara!Doctor showing up before him, or another trick from the Mara!Doctor. But, it's done through a phone. Tegan or Nyssa could've been given the phone. The phone could've manifested as a landline that anyone could answer. But, the phone is specifically given to Turlough.

If this is Mara!Doctor, it's the same trick he pulled in the cell. The Mara thinks Turlough will fall for the same trick twice. It is correct.

Only now is Turlough possessed by the Mara. Both other times Mara!Doctor attempted, he tried to persuade Turlough to take the mark. The whole process took long enough that it was possible to interrupt. When Nyssa was possessed, Mara!Doctor grabbed her and then it just happened. This appears to be the same thing with Turlough here. Because of how quickly it happens, it seems like Turlough saw the Doctor and was already close enough to touch him by the time the Mara revealed itself. Nyssa and Tegan caught on immediately, but Turlough didn't have time to react. Like when the Doctor was knocked out by the mirrors, the second it might be safe to touch the Doctor, Turlough just has to. Nyssa, the rational one, naturally doesn't have this problem. But the more impulsive Tegan also doesn't have this problem. The usually cautious Turlough just loses all sense of caution when the Doctor might need his help and it might be safe to get close to him.

This is the weakness the Mara exploits. If this was all the Mara!Doctor, which I think it was, it gave Turlough the phone, had the once again Weak and Scared Doctor speaking to him, knowing that he would run to the Doctor's aid without question or hesitation. He already did that, but he falls for the same trick twice. This is the temptation he can't resist. If the Doctor is sick or hurt, Turlough has to help him. If the Doctor was sick or hurt or captured but he's alright now, Turlough will be so overcome with relief that he has to run in for an Emotional Reunion. It's kind of adorable.

This isn't the end of part 4, but it's the end of Me Having Things to Say. So, here's what we've learned today: Nyssa loves Tegan, everyone loves Nyssa, Turlough's emotional attachment to the Doctor overpowers the wariness that's usually a key character trait of his.

Some perfectly normal Doctor Who factoids

The Master is canonically Rasputin.

Time Lords can all levitate and fly. The Doctor seems to forget this.

The Doctor is canonically Merlin.

There are two different explanations for the Loch Ness Monsters.

The Doctor once had a talking penguin as a companion.

Vampires are a canon species.

Tegan and Nyssa have such a strong queer subtext to their friendship that there is a wiki page online dedicated to it.

Speaking of Nyssa, she once got turned into a vampire and became obsessed with eating Tegan.

Ace McShane once fell in love with a cat-girl.

The Doctor is both a semi-mythical figure in the founding of time lord society, as well as also being the reason for the time lords having regenerative abilities. They are also just a run-of-the-mill time lord who ran away from Gallifrey. All of these are equally canon.

The Doctor once broke the fourth wall to wish the viewers a Merry Christmas.

The Third Doctor knows various martial arts.

It's implied that Time Lords cannot get drunk on alcohol unless they drink ginger beer beforehand.

The Eighth Doctor was once sentenced to death and promptly demanded to die in the nude.

The Doctor effectively kidnapped their first companions.

Time Lords reproduce via a technology known as looms.

I am working on a crossover fan fiction story, and I need some help with artwork for it. The story is a Avengers/Doctor Who Crossover, with the fifth Doctor set between Snakedance and Mawdryn Undead in the coexistence universe. Adric is still around, and as far as the Avengers are concerned, it is post Endgame, but The Black Widow is still alive. Nyssa and Tegan will be getting makeovers. Tegan is to go Steampunk, while Nyssa is going to Goth!
