#sisterhood of karn

[lizardwoman-from-earths-core-2]

So sorry to keep going on about Doctor Who but I find it really interesting in the revival era (2005 onward) that it's always hammered home that the Doctor is the last of the Timelords. But it's almost never talked about that they are NOT the last of the Gallifreyan's.

Because we know that timelords are the high society dudes that went to college and are granted regenerations and all that. And yeah, when the Doc ended the Time War they destroyed all of Gallifrey, including all the regular people.

However, we seem to have forgotten the Sisterhood of Karn chilling on another planet.

They're basically the Gallifreyan equivalent to nuns and they protect the Sacred Flame and all that, but they're still around. The 12th Doctor even went to them looking for help during "The Magician's Apprentice", and they reappeared later that season in "Hell Bent."

So what I'm saying is even though Gallifrey was destroyed for the billionth time, we could have seen 13 go and hang out during the "Timeless Child" arc to try and recenter herself. Maybe 15 can go since he's so much more in tune with his past than previous incarnation.

Ever wonder what was in the potion Ohila gave to the Eighth Doctor to trigger his regeneration into the War Doctor? The Curator found out, and it's not as special as you think. From The Day of The Doctor novelization.

[heimeldat]

Does anyone know, was Ohila originally supposed to be an older Ohica and they changed it for some reason? It seems awfully similar to be an accident...

You know, I don’t actually remember what this conversation was about and what he said before this, but somehow I am absolutely certain that yes, that was you being cynical. Again. 

(And you were probably right too)

Fond Memories, a Doctor Who fanfiction

The Doctor strolled through the Panopticon. A slight breeze ruffled his long brown hair. Smiling, he took out his pocket watch. It was always exactly the same time. A time where he was happy. A time where he was safe. A time where he was loved. The Time Lord heard running footsteps behind him. Grace. She bounded up to him and gave him a peck on the lips.

“What do you think of my home?” said the Doctor, still smiling.

“It’s…”

Grace laughed.

“It’s beautiful.”

“Isn’t it just. The Daleks have seemingly vanished from the face of the cosmos, and the universe has never been more peaceful.”

“Oi, Professor!”

The Doctor turned. Ace was there. She was wearing Time Lord robes and had in her hands a shimmering silver scroll.

“I passed Professor. I’m a Time Lord now.”

“That’s wonderful!” cried the Doctor.

“Old Doc. Chronotis says I can visit Perivale whenever I want. But I’ve got a lot of stuff still here to do.”

“That man never changes.” laughed the Doctor.

“I say, Doctor, is that you?”

The Doctor looked around. Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart stood before him, smiling.

“Planet Earth is safer than it has ever been thanks to you, Doctor. Just last week we declared world peace.”

“That’s wonderful.” said the Doctor.

A gigantic fanfare of trumpets startled the Doctor and his friends. Rassilon strode through the Panopticon accompanied by a guard of honour. Upon seeing the Doctor his face erupted into a dazzling grin.

“Theta Sigma, you have distinguished yourself as Gallifrey’s greatest and most worthy offspring.” he said.

“For this reason I am pleased to confer upon you the Freedom of All Space and Time!”

The Doctor grinned.

“That’s excellent news!”

Rassilon inclined his head slightly.

“I believe that there are others among us who wish to speak with you.”

Before the Doctor’s eyes were Leela and Narvin. They embraced the Doctor in a group hug.

“Doctor I – we – would be most honoured if you were to attend our upcoming wedding.” said Leela.

“Leela, Leela, of course, I’d be only too happy to.” said the Doctor.

“Doctor.”

He would have known that voice anywhere. No matter if he had lived to outlast reality itself, the voice of his best friend would always bring him home.

“Hello Sarah Jane.” said the Doctor.

“I’m back.” said Sarah Jane.

“And I’m never going to leave you again.”

“Grandfather!”

Susan ran across the Panopticon’s beautiful floors. The Doctor swept her up in a hug.

“Susan! Not a day older than when I last saw you!”

The Doctor’s friends and family surrounded him in a semicircle. Everyone was smiling. Everyone was happy. Everything was perfect.

“This never happened.”

The woman was dressed in Karn Sisterhood robes. She moved inexorably towards the Doctor like approaching nightfall.

“I’m sorry. What never happened?” said the Doctor.

The woman gestured to the Doctor’s loved ones.

“This. All of this. It was just a comforting fantasy that I created in your mind.”

“I don’t know who you are, but I’d like you to leave now please.” said the Doctor.

“You have my most sincere apologies.” said the woman.

“For what?” said the Doctor.

As the Doctor watched the people around him faded away like ghosts. He was alone on a battlefield littered with burnt out Dalek casings. In the distance Gallifrey’s citadel burned.

The Doctor sank to his knees. Tears leaked from his eyelids.

“Why?” he whispered.

“Why?!” he exclaimed.

“WHY?!” he yelled to the red sky.

“Because you deserve some measure of happiness.” said the woman.

“Because over the coming centuries you will remember many, many times. And you will think to yourself; if I just remember hard enough I might be able to change what has happened.”

“Leave me!” snarled the Doctor.

The woman bowed her head and vanished.

***

Deep inside the Sisterhood’s cave, Ohila regarded the Time Lord lying seated before her. The Dream Crab had successfully induced a healing trance, as Ohila hoped it would. All that remained now was to bring her patient back to the real world. Gently, with infinite care, Ohila removed the Dream Crab from the Doctor’s head. He stayed slumped in front of her for what seemed like eternity. Then he stirred and sat up.

“Cass!”

Sisterhoods with red hoods

[downtofragglerock]

You’d think they’d use the lesbian cult of witches that are on an equal power level to the time lords more often

Doctor Who: Night of the Doctor

I rewatched this wee episode on 29 May 2023 because it’s on the blu-ray for the television movie and it seemed a good idea to bookend Paul McGann. (Note: there are loads, and loads of top notch 8th Doctor material out there... just not a lot on TV.)

We meet Cass, a crew member on a gun ship who’s abandoned on her ship before it crashes. The Doctor arrives to save her, but she flips out when she realises he’s a Time Lord. The ship crashes on Karn and the sisterhood is there to trigger a regeneration to end a war…

At only six minutes and a bit, there’s a fair amount that happens in this teeny episode. And it’s great to see Paul McGann get a proper farewell, and an introduction to John Hurt! Though it'll be a little while before I get to his appearance again...

The Night of the Doctor

To mark the 10th Anniversary of its release, and Paul McGann's 64th birthday, here's a review of the mini-episode 'Night of the Doctor'!

The Sisterhood:

I have thoughts abt the doctor participating in practices that were previously exclusive to members of a sisterhood more than once.

However, she never meets him in order, always meeting him in different incarnations and on different adventures - and to make things interesting, the Doctor recognised her, which was the reason he saved her life

I haven't been able to shake the idea that "The Moment" is Rose Tyler.

Woops I wrote a mini fic. This got a little out of hand.

That she lived a fantastic life with the second tenth doctor with both living for centuries before he died but she didn't. That they traveled through the stars again. That rose tyler is an expert at carrying on but decades after, after finding a little bit of peace, a bit of a place she can connect with again even if it's not what home has come to mean to her, somewhere with tentative friends and people she smiles at and recognize on the street tragedy strikes.

Maybe she saves them maybe she doesn't but she's back in the original universe with a planet filled with nothing but hot burning land and it feels like hell. Everything does because she's lost it all and she cries golden tears running down her face and dripping down as saltwater.

She is Bad Wolf as she has always been and she is lost in her grief. The atmosphere is toxic and thin hardly even there and she heaves in breathes and does not die doesn't recognize that she should. She is a wounded wolf and her misery shakes time, tears at it as her hand tear at the ground as to not collapse. She is Altas and her grief is the world. It is felt and known throughout the universe.

Gallifrey notices. Hundreds of millions of years before the doctor would be born at all. Sensitive to time and the crushing destruction that she could cause if her hold of time becomes an animalistic shredding instead of a too tight grip, and it tightens.

They go to her terrified at the goddess on her knees. The planet had cooled and the atmosphere was safe to breathe, water covered most of the planet, life was springing up everywhere and the woman's golden tears still fell. If you experience all of time and space at once when does it stop? When has your pain ended?

The leaders of gallifrey had no idea how they might stop her so they sought to guard her. Solely those regenerated as women took the post. For all of gallifrey's cruelty past and future they were kind to her. They clothed her, and keep her company, sang and encouraged life around her. Slowly they were able to shift her from her knees and hands to lay curled on a soft mattress on her side. She was catatonic but her tears had stopped. They named her Pythia the one who sees.

Then war came as it always does. Gallifrey was divided and the guards fought hard and long to keep the golden goddess safe. They forced to their knees as a man with a box entered the sanctuary of a weeping goddess. A man of arrogance and cruelty who wanted to make them watch as he took their goddess away.

He kneels before her and places the box in front of him. Her reaches for her arm before thinking better of it. Belief in the goddess before him was irrelevant because there she was and he would not touch her for fear of it. He pushed the box forward and it made contact with her skin.

Bit by golden bit energy from her seeped into the box and on and on it went. Her body to became wisps of light. Just as she lost her form her eyes met his clear and a deep dark brown. Like a wolf staring from clever eyes out from the unknown. Like a hunter contemplating prey. Darkly amused as they waited for the prey to run to give chase.

Then she was gone and the box slid shut.

The guards were weeping.

The guards were taken back to gallifrey and the sanctuary burned.

The box waited. Time untouched by time. A well finally able to deal with the overflow.

And in a moment Rose Tyler, the Bad Wolf, the Goddess of Time found herself again and took great glee terrorizing cruel arrogant time lords that came to her box demanding destruction.

She was Rose Tyler, she had a box, and surely as the universe begins and ends, she'll find a Doctor.

the greatest tragedy of our time is the doctor who writers not following through on bad wolf rose tyler. oh she absorbed the time vortex and had the power of a goddess? well her alien boyfriend kissed it out of her so she’s normal now and there’s zero (0) lasting effects. BULLSHIT!!!! shout out to the fanfic writers who get it and write her physiology changing and becoming a time lord, or at the very least something not entirely human!!!! there was all that lead up to bad wolf, let her go crazy! let her have insane power!! bad wolf i love you you should have stuck around longer

[outerspacedunce]

finally won a game of mtg with 12/13's deck and i didn't just win, i overkilled bc once that deck actually gets rolling it is insane

we're convinced that deck is the most difficult out of the three we have. the villain/master's deck is straight forward aggro and dick moves, the time wimey deck is also relatively straightforward and can gain one hell of an army, where as my deck is just playing on chance and basically "let's see what happens!".
