If only The Doctor could whisk me away...

can you imagine how fucking funny it would be if the big plot twist for the 60th anniversary is that the first doctor fully never escaped the toymaster. and the entirety of the show from that point on just never actually happened. like they shouldn't do that but I would laugh myself to death lmfao

I know Doc, I know.

So I picked up the novelisation of The Giggle from Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, and I have noticed two interesting things

1) All of the chapters are titled "Move [number]" instead of "Chapter [number]". Because to the Toymaker, everything is a game.

2) Chapter five is a maze in the shape of a human brain. That's it. That's the chapter. The next page is move six which continues the story as normal.

I'm interested to see if this goes anywhere because I am half expecting the author to play with some unreality because let's be honest the Toymaker can do whatever the hell he wants including messing with people reading a book about them.

what if i never stopped crying huh?

thinking about this post by @the-bastard-king

because we know the bomb and the plan behind it were real, it went off, it destroyed the space station. we also know that the captain died before the not-things/nothings (?) could fully copy her.

what we don't know for certain is how she died. the likely option is that she killed herself, and maybe she did. but why was she that far out anyway? what happened to the rest of the crew if there ever was one? WHY was that station so gigantic? what was it supposed to be doing?

the thought about the vashta nerada tickled my brain, because maybe it was something else lurking where nothing else can be.

i haven't rewatched the episode in a week or two, so i don't know if they ever say, but either way, i am 100% sure the not-things were running from something, not just towards the universe but actively away from something else.

what is so scary that two beings who do not have form or matter run from it?

then i realized something else: in the other two specials, we are introduced to something by name, and i think it is the same being referenced with two different titles AND the being that the not-things ran from. that way all three episodes tie into each other.

the boss as a cryptic threat from the meep.

the one who waits—the ONLY existence the toymaker is too scared to play with.

a presence out in total nothingness at the edge of the universe, scaring everyone and everything while it patiently sits and waits. a presence known to few, but maybe to the captain's species. a species that then decided to build a station—a watchtower—at the edge of everything light, waiting for centuries and keeping an eye on the creatures in the dark.

the species begins to die, maybe sickness or other races, maybe the creatures caught up with them, maybe it was simply time, and a once bustling station is now nothing but empty corridors and one last captain; refusing to leave her post until the bitter end.

maybe it is more than that. we are introduced to goblins and chance and coincidence—and there is mavity. one tiny change with potentially world-ending consequences. a tiny ripple, probably more we haven't seen yet, and the one who waits does exactly that.

it waits.

As absolutely devastating as everything in the 60th anniversary specials was, one thing I keep coming back to which completely hollows out my heart every time is the doctor yelling about how he devastated creation and Donna yells back in the rawest, most desperate voice imaginable "It wasn't your fault!" And then it wasn't even her. She still doesn't know, doesn't understand.

if those bi-regeneration rumors are true do we think 14 will join the companion support group. do we think they'd all throw tomatoes at him

I don’t understand 60th Anniversary Haters.

How can you be mad that the Doctor finally gets to be happy? Shame on you! Apologize to the babygurl! You say sorry right now!
