They raced past doors labelled AWFUL TRUTHS, HOPES FOR THE FUTURE and THAT DREAM ABOUT FITZ from behind which they heard terrible screams in his voice. 'She's got a sense of humour now,' he said. 'That's going to take getting used to. Especially with her being a building.'

A read through of the Eight Doctor Adventure book series with screen caps and personal impressions of each story - [Master Post] #Kida's EDA Experience -> for the block tag

#31 The Shadows of Avalon

18th April 2025

Here we fucking go boys it all goes to shit from here!! I knew vaguely what happened in this one (a certain major plot point) but honestly I was mostly excited for this one because The Brigadier is in it.

Loved the mirror going on between the Brigadier's reckless actions following the loss of his wife, and the Doctor's recklessness following the loss of his TARDIS (he even built a fake substitute the poor bastard).

I love the friendship between The Doctor and The Brigadier you don't understand - I'm watching Three's run at the moment and it's nice to see how it's progressed.

There's also a fantastic bit where the Doctor looks at someone, sees a good future for them and feels relieved about the choices he's about to make. Only later we find out said person did not get to go home and had a pretty horrible end actually. This happened before in 'Dominion' where he also got his future sight wrong without his connection to the TARDIS. (Further post about some more of my thoughts on this incoming)

YES, we love to see them getting protective over their companions - I see it isn't just Twelve.

Compassion's metamorphosis was stellar - it's completely by accident in the grand scheme of things and you can tell she's both kinda excited by all these new sensory inputs and possibilities but also terrified because its A LOT and this means irreversible change so she's holding it back… Until a third party forces it. It takes the choice out of her hands. Then you realise that was the plan all along and you see it had to happen this way since we'd already seen the evidence of it all the way back in Alien Bodies. RIP.

Also Romana, jesus christ are you good? I know the answer is No, but now I know why Eight was so horrified by what he saw she had become in that 'alternate timeline' during the Neverland Audio.

I wanna write about Nikita so bad but I don't know jack shit about them.

#shadow and light story #oc: nikita beetledust #other than they grew up in Avalon and claim Avalon as their origin but are obviously a [REDACTED] from Celestia #probably narrowly escaped the flooding and ran away with solar magic they stole #I definitely see Niki as a secret Sun wizard

Eight should be a lot more broken by his TARDIS's perceived death in Shadows of Avalon. I mean, yeah he builds a wooden police box and hugs it, and sure he's suicidal for half the book (not that that's unusual), and ok I guess her death might feel unreal to him since they are literally in dream-land...

But he'd better be a grieving mess in the next book, that's all.

Me just casually thinking about au worldbuilding and once again realising everything is linked

#like. like ok #so was on a thought of how craftworld and bunkum can communicate right. bc newton connected their networks #(so he could talk to shadow n the squad right bc bro wants outta bunkum bc hes the dipshit who almost destroyed it. among other things)#did that to create the portal. which was an upgrade to travel between the 2 worlds. the only way before that?#cptn pud (*coughwankercoughcough*). bc ship slow as hell WHICH IS WHY he wasnt around much bc he was always at. go on guess...#INTERSTELLAR JUNCTION. which has more stuff going to other places bc. come on. theyre more interesting #so why is ol cappy in charge of that? bc he knows the route. he MADE the route. bc he GREW UP ON CRAFTWORLD with members of the alliance #who all hate him now btw #BUT THEN. THEN I WENT ON A DIFFERENT TANGENT #a slightly smaller one dw #but right. shadows origins. grows up in a testing facility thats very militant and bunkerlike #gets moved to a new one after the incident (WHICH ALSO IS WHERE VEX COMES INTO THE STORY BTW)#what happens to the old one? well since it got exposed and partially destroyed the database there was wiped and important equipment taken #(note not ALL equipment)#and who should stumble on that ruin later and turn it into a base of operations?#THE COLLECTOR!!! and theres already a ton of stuff there for them to use to build robots (inspired by avalon? mayhaps.)#anyways thats it that was the brain i was very excite ok bai #slbu #lbp au #OH YEAH IM BACK IN THIS TAG BABEYYY nah not for long prolly lmao

He turned back to Compassion, and saw that she had now curled up into a foetal ball on the sofa, her hands grasping her feet, her head buried in her chest. She was muttering gibberish under her breath. And that was the most frightening thing that Fitz had seen all day.
