NYSSA: I've enjoyed every moment of my time on the Tardis, and I'll miss you both, but here I have a chance to put into practice the skills I learnt on Traken.

TEGAN: Please, Nyssa.

NYSSA: I'm adamant. Please, let us part in good faith.

DOCTOR: You do fully understand the commitment you'll be undertaking?

NYSSA: Yes.

DOCTOR: And that life here will be very hard.

NYSSA: I am fully aware of that, but I want to stay.

DOCTOR: Then you're a very brave person. I wish you every luck.

TEGAN: She'll die here.

NYSSA: Not easily, Tegan. Like you, I'm indestructible.

*rolls on the floor and sobs* Terminus emotionally crippled me in ways I cannot explain, so therefore I must share my pain with everyone else. 🥲

Also yes ik Turlough wasn't in this scene and was in fact crippled on the floor in the TARDIS but I wanted to draw him in it anyways because I have ideas for headcanon >:] plus the blorbo needs to see what happened and suffer with the others even if he probably didn't care as much.

I need people to understand how much this character means to me.

Like, look at him:

He's such a little gremlin, I love him sm!

And the poor bloke is so traumatised

Poor little gremlin :(

We all say that Five is the Dad of the group, but what if Nyssa is the Mom instead.

Nyssa babying the Doctor will never not be funny.

Terminus 1983

8/10

I love and hate this one. I think it's really well done and enjoyable. We get new companion Turlough and his plotting shenanigans. But Nyssa leaves and it absolutely breaks my heart. She is my second favorite companion of all time and I hate to see her go.

“Well, it could be pure coincidence, but Terminus seems to be at the exact centre of the known universe.”

Doctor Who - Terminus

In teary moment, Nyssa says goodbye in Terminus.

Yes, this scene still puts a lump in my throat 🥺🥹

[headcanonsandmore]

Sapphic breakups are rough. It's never "I don't think this is working out", it's always "I am staying behind on this plague-ridden space station and you think I'm going to die but not easily Tegan just like you I'm indestructible-"

Love that when they were designing the anti-radiation suits for Terminus, they said, "They need to look scary as shit. And also they need mustaches. Big, luxurious mustaches."

tegan comes back and the doctor's pissed off because he clearly just wants to be alone with nyssa, so he lets turlough on board to be petty, but then nyssa leaves and he's stuck with tegan and a wretched twink who's trying to kill him. another masterful gambit from the worst man in the universe, dr who 💖
