[ARCHIVIST]
Sometimes… I imagine if none of this had happened. If we had just… met. Been together, without… all of this.
[MARTIN]
But we wouldn’t have, would we? Been together, I mean.

the important thing to remember about the "five watching the master burn to death on sarn" situation is that the last time they saw each other was in 'the king's demons' where the master deliberately engineered a situation where the doctor would have to beg for the master's life & then show just how much (little) those words meant by being made to choose an innocent's life over the master's. the master screams as he's being forced into the iron maiden. the doctor can't watch, doesn't even turn his head, squeezes his eyes shut. when it dematerializes, the doctor looks to whatever the gallifreyan equivalent of the heavens is in relief/exasperation. the master laughs to himself in delight inside his tardis. the doctor looks just a little unwillingly fond as tegan asks "what's the master up to?"
so when we get to 'planet of fire', with the master cajoling, threatening, begging, "won't you show mercy to your own—?" it's a boy who cried wolf situation. is he condemning the master to death in that moment? is he letting him burn under the assumption that it is a trick? the hope that it is? clara doesn't tell him "if you have ever let this creature live, everything that happened today is on you" until lifetimes later, but you know that same refrain is running through his head. he can't, in good conscience, save the master — the man who killed his fourth self, who killed nyssa's father & now walks around in his corpse, who destroyed nyssa's entire planet & people & a whole entire third of the universe, who abducted adric & tortured him. i think five looks determined as he watches the master burn but also, briefly, devastated. he walks towards the flames after the master disappears... hoping for what? the sound of the master's tardis again? his laughter? but the doctor has to turn and walk back to his tardis in silence.

okay guys Happy Ending theory time :) i made this post
and @lilitblaukatz @markmybirds said this (referencing shot in 3nd photo)
And I think Damon might be able to see blurry until hes up close/ in specific lighting
I think the third photo is like an old version of a retinal scan? Cause Finn and Damon is set in the past where they don't have modern technology so their eye scan will be less high tech than what we have now (unless this is like a specific kind of photo but it does generally look like what they would show me at an optometrist of my own eye)
He walks with his hand out and looks at the portal (?) closely
Anawin is very distracted Damon didn't have to sneak up all that way, and then he also gets reallllly close to Anawin while Damon has him pinned under him
Ive already said how i think this is Damon trying to map out Anawin in his head by touch
He gets very close to look at his paint holder thing (i forgot the name sorry 😭)
We do see see him looking at these flowers which aren't directly in front his face but i think this could be the light helping him? He has a lamp directly next to him
(where ever he is does look to be well lit, i think the black all around him is meant to signify hes like in the book?)
I dont think he has this eyesight issue in the black and white world?
Maybe its the angle but he doesn't look like he is looking at Finn until his dagger is on him? And he still leans in closer
So I think Damon needs to be up close to see
This was all I could come up with right now but if anyone has anything to add please do <3
What if its the colours? Like he likes painting cause he can see the colours/shape of things clearly as he paints them :) (if he's originally from a world with no colour he probably enjoys them)

American Christians know absolutely nothing about religion, art, and culture and it always shows. Imagine seeing clear Bacchanalian references and calling it The Last Supper…
