Can’t stop chewing on the question “What other eps would have ended the same way if the Doctor had been black then?”

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.

The Fifteenth Doctor is so dad-coded to me.

Like, you can’t have his first 4 episodes featuring him gently hold 2 newborns, play dad/protector/comforter for a bunch of hyper-advanced space babies, then proceed to destroy the military industrial complex with the power of fatherhood (with assistance from another father) and not have him come across as dad-coded.

Sooo... I love Ruby Sunday as much as the next tumblr user. But I can't be the only one that's bothered by her not having conflict with the Doctor at all, right?

People keep saying that Ruby and her relationship to the doctor seem underdeveloped, or that they struggle to connect with her. But they can never quite put their finger on why they feel like that.

I think this might be it. We only see her going against what the Doctor is saying once and that sitiuation doesn't lead to any actual conflict, especially because she's dead for most of that episode. And most importantly, we don't see her get mad, we don't see her being wrong, we don't see how their diffrences of opinion shape her and the Doctor as people.

Just bonkers to me that some think we should've missed out entirely on having years of Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor rather than suffer the minor inconvenience of having to watch two Doctor-lite episodes in one season.

Thank @texanredrose in inspiring a ludicrously long series to become so much longer and my hand for going along with it. Forewarning that this is the context: Dressin’ Down OG

I think Mrs. Flood may be an Osirian. Specifically, Isis / Alozza

If they focus on the Osirian/Egyptian Mythology side of Sutekh, it would make sense: Isis is a goddess that has been associated with a million things. Importantly for this, she is connected to the sky, to rain, and to fate. She was also the sister-wife of Osiris, who himself is associated with cycles of nature. Including, the annual flooding of the Nile.

From there, the name 'Mrs. Flood' tracks! She is both the flood of rain and the wife of its endless cycle. She's also a widow, so of course she would have a married title yet no spouse.

It would make sense to include her specifically, as she is important to the Osiris Myth that Sutekh's history is based on. In it she collects pieces of Osiris that Sutekh/Set scatters after murdering him. After finding them, she resurrects Osiris for long enough to have Horus (or an aspect of him at least). Horus then 'defeats' Set. Which parallels the story in Pyramids of Mars.

Being an Osirian would explain her creepily ominous warning to Cherry. As while she would not be with Sutekh, she would still be a higher being with alien priorities. Her being on earth would also somewhat fit with the dweu. Where Isis waited on earth for Sutekh's awakening. Though not 1-1.

It could also connect back to Ruby, as Isis' has strong connections to motherhood. If Ruby was say, secretly an Osirian, there are options. Especially considering her name's reference to both the Sun and the colour red, like girl is nearly a verbal description of the Eye of Ra. She could be the daughter of Isis herself, maybe a younger aspect of Horus (God of Light but also a god of the Sunday), hidden away as a human. Though that would be a very literal take. Honestly, when it comes to Ruby I'm not sold on anything specific.

Lastly, If they go this direction, I'm guessing the "vital object on a distant planet with no name" that rtd teased, will be related to the Osirians. Since they've already used the Eye of Horus, perhaps the Eye of Ra? It is has been depicted in relation to Isis. It's also often personified as a Goddess so, maybe Ruby herself? A living trap/weapon, idk). Whatever it is though, Mrs. Flood would be instrumental in defeating Sutekh. We'll see.

(Also: disclaimer and apology in advance to both people who actually know about the religions I'm mentioning, and to EU/Faction Paradox fans. For anything I may have got wrong 🙏)

Thinking yet again abt Major Glory being an ex of my PPG s/i's and there being an episode where he shows up and beefs with Mojo, only to get his ass kicked by my chimp hubby 💖

[ye-olde-tardis]

Can NOT believe that Ruby's mom was just a perfectly normal human being this whole time. They really said april fools guys 😭😭

[sepiamestus]

It always rubs me the wrong way when people characterize atsushi as too much of a sweetheart. Like he IS a sweetheart but he's also snarky and sarcastic and most importantly he's very very angry. Do not forget this.

[sincerely-sofie]

Just realized The Present is a Gift's birthday is in under 2 months. And the anniversary of when the fic started being posted is pretty much 7 months away. That's like, 3 weeks in ADHD time you guys.
