#DW predictions

[chaoticpallascat]

I bet my arse that the Doctor who said goodbye to Ruby is on something like a farewell tour before he goes into ABSOLUTE TERROR because THAT is not a “see ya around” goodbye that’s a GOODBYE goodbye and it tears my flipping heart out

So, with that trailer yesterday,

(Please reblog for a bigger response!!)

About an hour to go till the new series starts! My final predictions before then ("what if character" Edition!!!):

• Piano Villain will be a Timelord. Either a new one or The Meddling Monk (all meddle no monk)

• If the The Boss is not a new character, they will be either the Trickster or The Grand Serpent. In the latter case he will be revealed to be Irving Braxia- *i am dragged off stage*

• Mrs Flood is Iris Wildthyme having a casual holiday truther. Alternatively she is the One Who Waits, leading me into-

• My genuine actual prediction that I genuinely hope to be true: The One Who Waits will be Death the Eternal. Perhaps not the one we've known but a version of her. Similar to the Time we saw in Flux. Because right now, without it being a new character, I cannot imagine what else would scare the Toymaker.

Cant wait to see the new series!

Doctor Who Bingo predictions for the first series of Ncuti’s run! Can you tell that most of this is just me manifesting?

I put “unusable tardis” in the free space cause it would be cheating to put it elsewhere.

Can we talk about how 11 predicted River's inclination toward the several guns but never considered she would use a kiss against him?

My favorite thing about Ruby and 15 so far is that they are always on the same page forever. They’ve so immediately hit it off as besties and I love them and I can’t wait to eat my words when we learn Ruby was programmed to be the perfect dr. who companion and turns evil in the finale and tries to kill everybody

So I’ve been doing a little bit of thinkin’ after the two new episodes of Who about Susan Twist and I had a lightbulb moment I haven’t really seen anyone else talking about just yet.

Spoilers ahead for Wild Blue Yonder, Church on Ruby Road, Space Babies, and the Devil’s Chord. Ok, onto the theory!

We all know Susan Twist is going to be more than just an Easter Egg, but I think everyone is taking the actress’s name too literally. She’s not playing Susan.

She’s The One Who Waits.

She’s there. Always in the background. On the periphery. Watching. Waiting. Because everything leads back to her.

And the first time we see her is in the scene that has the first major world shift in the episode that set up this entire plotline about invoking superstition at the edge of the universe and letting something through.

And who do we encounter pretty much immediately after? The embodyment of Play (Toymaker). And then a little later in we meet the embodyment of Music (Maestro).

Which raises the next part of my theory: What is The One Who Waits the embodyment of?

Death

Death just sits, and waits, and watches, biding their time because everything has its time and Death comes for everything in the end.

And every time we’ve seen her, things start going really wrong. In WBY, she was one of the last people we saw before the Tardis landed on the spaceship, Donna almost died, and the Doctor almost let a NotWe loose on the universe. In Ruby Road, she’s watching Ruby and her friends perform the same night they nearly get crushed by the giant snowman head. She was one of the crew in Space Babies who were forced to leave the station and abandon all those babies to die. And in Devil’s Chord she was in the cafeteria when Paul and John are talking to the Doctor and Ruby about music before getting angry and leaving which, had the Doctor not intervened, would’ve lead to literal nuclear winter.

I feel like too many people are focusing on just the previous lore from the past 60 years which, for any other context makes sense. But this isn’t your granny’s Doctor Who anymore. The tone shift started in WBY means we need to think outside the Blue Box (that’s bigger on the inside) to figure it all out and for once, I think being into SuperWhoLock may have finally paid off! The NotWes are shapeshifters. The Bogeyman was basically a thought form (tulpa). The literal baby eating, musical goblins. The Toymaker and Maestro are both functionally gods. And which god waits patiently in the background?

Death.

It’s not a perfect 1 to 1 with Supernatural but if you find the midpoint between the two everything starts to click into place.

The final Big Bad of the season is The One Who Waits which is Death and not even the Doctor can fully cheat death, they can just keep running. So in the end the Doctor doesn’t actually defeat Death. He just traps them or delays them enough to get away so he can just keep running.

(Also Mrs. Flood is just a normal human who’s past was changed by the Doctor. In the start of the episode, before the Doctor properly meets Ruby (I don’t count the encounter at the club) she has no clue what the Tardis is. But as soon as the thing happens on the roof her past changed to include an encounter with the Doctor when she was younger (I think it’s going to be the episode with the slug things we’ve seen in the trailers because there’s a girl with blonde bangs in a season where coincidence is the driving force behind everything so it has to mean something) which is why her entire personality shifts by the end and she becomes nicer and suddenly knows about the Tardis and knows that Ruby has to go with the Doctor. She’s not Susan or Ruby’s mom. She’s just someone they save along the way.)

I'm Begging For Predicting Three Things this Doctor Who 60th

David Tennant's Doctor finally gets kissed by a man (Neil Patrick Harris do me a solid, won'tcha?)

Fourteen sacrifices himself for Rose (Yasmin Finney). The Tenrose thematic mirroring behind that act will launch a universe.

Ncuti's Christmas special (and first proper appearance as the Doctor) is in an episode called "The Church on Ruby Road" The idea of the Fourteenth Doctor regenerating inside a church is so flippin' Russell T Davies I can't believe it didn't happen earlier. The Christ figure allusions are gonna blow the roof off the place and I am thriving for it.

A companion piece to a WIP fic. I was going to wait until I'd finished it before posting them together but it's been sat in my files for months. Oh well. Life's short.

Reference from pinterest. I'll see if I can find it again at a later date.
